Researched quite a lot about YT
of all, keyword = consistency
Especially when you know not much watching.

This is a living legend!
I love guitar covers so so much, so I have followed his channel.
Unfortunately, he only does fingerstyles - which is super hard imo sweat.gif
Grow like mushroom probably due to Bohemian Rhapsody movie last year.

QUOTE(malakus @ Oct 29 2019, 02:52 PM)
Lately see alot of Malay speaking channel got many view even trending. Like the spontan, the one with kelantan girls, tech channel like monalisa, wiser and even a few fishing channel got 200k+ views
*
Yeah, riding on the trend is the fastest way to go.
coupled with consistent hardwork, it'll be a combo.
However, one will need a channel genre before all these can happen.

From what I've read, we can't mix everything we do in one channel.
unless it's a Vlog.

QUOTE(BillCollector @ Oct 29 2019, 02:59 PM)
I have one. Also have a mirror of it in Youku.

I do a lot of product and hotel reviews as well as some architecture/ID related content plus long term car reviews.
*
Nice lah bro!
How has the channel perform?
Mind share some link here?

Boleh tidur, just dont forget to put autoplay on so YT-ers can benefit tongue.gif

QUOTE(emburrar @ Oct 29 2019, 03:09 PM)
what kind of video u want  to make?
*
I've shortlisted a few genres.
Some with long term growth that I can see myself doing.
They are:

1. Car Reviews
2. Guitar Covers

Although they seemed very very general and saturated all over YT,
imo, those are the genres I have full passion on - so it has less chance of becoming hangat-hangat tahi ayam project unsure.gif
just have to personalize the channel so can be unique.

At first, as I'm such an introvert, I have the same thoughts as this guy.
Was planning not to reveal face.
But...
Studies already show that we, human will only earn trust when can see face.
So... Like it or not, have to show face, however shy blush.gif

inb4 agenda illuminati to keep record of our face and voice for future projects dammit

QUOTE(alanyuppie @ Oct 29 2019, 03:38 PM)
If want instant hit channels... just publish vids that make fun of others.

it can grow fast, but this kind of genre, requires a team sweat.gif
and it better be a no-harm-prank as we, Malaysians are very very very sensitive.

QUOTE(iconia17 @ Oct 29 2019, 03:39 PM)
Me and my wife got YT channel part time. Current subs 115k.

It take lots of hard work and dedication. Started of as hobby only.

WOW you're miles ahead of many others I see.
Golden question: of course you monetize your YT channel right?

just choose any genre that you like..car review for me are not saturated..just that most of them abit boring..

but fastest growing genre would be mobile gaming, stream on facebook + youtube, or gamely.. later make fun clips + full video and put on youtube..like soloz
*
Hopefully mine would be less boring for /k than others sweat.gif
I should add some comedy here and there I guess

I really like gaming during my teenage years - Age of Empires, Skyrim, Dota, Dota2, CSGO, GTA III until GTA online (actually also currently playing).
but I don't really see myself growing while doing those sweat.gif
been playing with computers since Win95 era and I think i have brain problem liao hahahahahaah

QUOTE(iconia17 @ Oct 29 2019, 03:49 PM)
I wont sugarcoat things. Even with the current views the average income is 3-6k rm only per month from adsense.

The good thing is it keeps growing. Make extra money from product endorsement as well.
*
That's a lot thumbsup.gif
Sifu level liao this.
Mind sharing channel?
at least can subscribe and add views what haha

Population in Malaysia alone is simply not enough to generate a decent income for you unless you spam create contents like crazy but you have to be really creative to maintain the stickiness or else you are wasting your time.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


The point is, they are able to monetize their contents from YouTube ads and YouTube pays 55% of their ad revenue to you.

But you'll need min. 1k subscribers to entitled for monetization.

Good luck and all the best to you.

I'm thinking of doing a channel with English medium, at least watchable globally (tinggi sungguh harapan gua)
Got it, from what I see, VidIQ can generate good taggings ya.

The first and second channel you shared, I can still understand.
but the last channel, Study with Me laugh.gif
us human, we got so much varieties.

btw, are you a YT-er? hmm.gif

Thing about YT channel is,
we have to find our base audience.
You're lucky if you are already famous in other social platforms.
But can be quite hard when starting from scratch imo.

Language not necessarily MUST be english, you have a lot of successful local to their native language youtuber whom is big. The more important part is persistence, patient, effort, consistency.

You need 6 months to 2 years worth of time spend and focus on content related to what you want to present. Not easy, but if you got nothing to loose then it would be easier.

We consider slow d, some china channel that started like 6 months ago simply just talking about retirement and live in malaysia gain steady supporters many of this channel don't talk about trying to make money, they just do what they like most then as it grows to a point you can start consider posting ads for revenue.

If you dive in with making money in mind you'll most likely burn out.
*
Yeah, I figured I have to do things I always have interest on.
At least can avoid risks of a halfway project for doing things that doesn't spark the joy in me.

Also, like you said, have to keep reminding own self for persistence & consistency.
I've met Cardock few days ago in his workshop, his advice: "no matter what haters throw at you, just keep uploading."
Hope the advice kicks in when haters come in my YT channel sweat.gif


QUOTE(koopa @ Oct 29 2019, 09:40 PM)

I edited this channel for fun. Please share you channel later. Would like to see more Malaysians in youtube!

Personally I dont have a channel but last time I used to do a website/blog/forum which did pretty well. Had 5000 registered users (3000 only active the others suspected bot). When I started the website had a general overview of the topic. It wasnt doing well.

Then when I started focusing into a nitch, it took off.

Like the fingerstyle guitar guy. If he did general music and guitar like every YouTuber but with a lower budget and less attractive appearance, he wont take off. He became famous because of his "fingerstyle" and low budget production. Seems more honest and genuine. No big cooperation, no celebrities, etc. You need to find why are you different.
*
Actually yeah, I've read somewhere about the same thing you said.
Nowadays, people don't want proper show.
They prefer genuine opinions over staged.

Okay, will share the channel here once published the vid somewhere this week!
but please lower expectations as this is not my line of industry at all. not even near.
So can expect some kaku-ness tongue.gif


QUOTE(gingerrobot @ Oct 29 2019, 09:53 PM)
Does not matter u speak engeris ka malayasia ka.. The most important is ur content.. Just look at drama spontan asif n yoe.. Kecek kelate tu. Aku yg sabah ni pun adore their vids. If u r female, easier to get more views, the easiest way is just be sexy on camera but that's pretty stupid decision if you want to start out by lowering ur dignity. And some like to upload stupid videos to be famous which is so pathetic.
*
Unfortunately not a female so one point deducted
leaving me with good content option only laugh.gif

QUOTE(RagingBalls @ Oct 29 2019, 09:59 PM)
Have been planning since 2014 still couldn't get the idea off the ground till now. Hopefully can get this going by 2020.
*
I was in your place too last time,
then somehow, last weekend,
the 'ilham' came smile.gif

The problem I face now, is time management.

QUOTE(dman @ Oct 29 2019, 10:39 PM)
I think do kids channel can gain more views as children like to repeating watch the same thing over and over again.

So basically 1 children can watch few times of the same video thus generating more views.
*
Kids nowadays is the next generation of YT viewers.
So, if we can catch these kids' attention now,
we can definitely ride the trend through their teen years for sure.

Just like our times dulu with those 'Spanar Jaya', 'Senario', 'Gerak Khas', and some other big Disney movies.
We would still enjoy at least a little of those content if shown to us now. biggrin.gif

In case some of you guys are interested to do a YT channel - can refer here in future.

30.10.2019 Updates
Yesterday tried to rehearse and record,
Sucks big time.

I'm an introvert so I got stucked not knowing what to talk next.
My english is quite terabur, I'm getting too static and awkward.

Welp, I guess at least first foot is down, now going onto my second foot.
I'm going to have to tweak my presentation style I guess.
See how it goes. Good luck to me unsure.gif
