After 2 years of uploading videos I only had 47 subs. Now I'm heading for 30,000! Never give up ❤❤

Still Here‼️ Still Trying‼️ Still Uploading‼️ 🫡🫡🫡
@TheDominikHubert
Just hit 26 subscribers on my YouTube journey, and I couldn't be more grateful for every single one of you who's joined me so far. 🙌 It might seem like a small number, but to me, it's a big step forward. I'm learning, improving, and staying consistent — and my goal is to reach 5,000 subs by the end of this year. It won’t be easy, but I’m all in. Let’s grow! 💪
@spyderthread
I've been doing the YouTube thing for about two and a half years now. I'm a few subs away from 5000 and this morning I finally got monetized (yes, I cried) I've never gone 'viral' and I still feel like a beginner in a lot of ways, but I've learned that it's the slow steady progress that matters. My goal now is to achieve a regular monthly income from my channel, however small that may be.
@GKAquascaping
My channel took off, almost at 5K subs and finally got monetized when one video went viral - 500K views. The secret? I stopped making "how to" videos and started using story telling IN my how-to videos. Wow, that was an eye opener. Now that this model has proved itself to me, I'm moving on to a new channel, my forever business. Wish me luck!
@GarnockReviews
I'm at just over 14k subscribers. It's been a roller-coaster and although I'm not at my peak numbers, the numbers are finally climbing again. If it taught me anything it was not to quit, to push through, and the views will come back. I never dreamed I'd be able to have a channel with millions of views. Now I'm just chasing the horizon to see how far I can make this journey go. Good luck to everyone, and don't lose hope!!
@maryvscrapbooking
At the end of the day, it's not about the views, or the fame, or the subscribers. It's about doing something you genuinely love and being persistent in the face of setbacks. You keep showing up, keep creating, and keep believing that your passion will connect with someone, even if it's just one person at a time. The grind is real, but it's also where you grow. If I ever do go viral, it won't be because I gave up. It'll be because I kept showing up, week after week, even when it felt like no one was watching.
@TwitchTreasureHunting
I have had my channel since 2012, had no idea what I was doing but knew I wanted to share my experiences. my nephews told me about dallmyd and that I scuba dive and metal detect why don’t I make videos like him. So after a year of trying that combo out I had great feed back and seemed like interest in my hobbies so this year I am bringing it up a few levels! I’ll never stop I enjoy it too much and brining a camera adds a lot of work but I like sharing it for all who cannot experience what I can.
@reesiekups
I started my YouTube journey about a year ago. I got monetized in 9 months and I'm currently at 1,627 subscribers! I'm happy with the growth but I'll always be hungry. We got this, creators!
@Jay.Grimwood
What you said is so important, and I keep reminding myself of it: every click is a person. Compared to others, the 95 subscribers I have might seem like nothing. But when I imagine 95 people standing in front of me who enjoy my content, I'm overwhelmed
@AboutWisdomYT
This is so real. 🎯 Every small channel hits that wall where the views drop, motivation fades, and it feels like no one’s watching. But honestly, that’s where the real growth happens — not just for the channel, but for you. 🌱 Thank you for being honest about the hard part. It’s comforting to know we’re not alone in this. One step at a time, one video at a time… we keep showing up. 🎥💪
@LandoLegend3534
Man I love coming here and just being encouraged. I got 368 subs and going for 1k by the end of the year and I've had some doubts and struggles but its all worth it in the long run, and even if my videos don't blow up, at least I know I'm always improving! Thanks for the support!
@thesouthafricanviking
3 years in, from getting 0 - 10 views on my long form video to now getting 5k - 8k views. Some of my shorts have over 200k views, and sitting on 2.2k subs. as of today i'm 50 hours away from 4k watch hours, and once I stepped back and started appreciating the views I have, and not be sad for the views I didn't get, I have been enjoying it even more. And your videos have kept me going when I wanted to give up (you will feature in my black n white, slow piano video, lol )
@g_casky
I started my YouTube channel during the pandemic, and though I only have a few subscribers — 509 to be exact — I’m truly grateful for each and every one of them. Every time I check, I whisper to myself, “Maybe today I’ll gain just one more subscriber.” 🙏 I always remind myself: As long as I don’t quit, it will grow. And I’m still hoping it will. 💛
@MomentumMindsets-h9i
I recently reached 640 subscribers on my channel. It hasn't been easy, there have been moments of doubt and frustration, but I'm truly grateful for every step of this journey. Seeing others push through reminds me that I'm not alone. I’ll keep going, no matter what.
@Hobbi101
I started my channel at the end of January 2025 and I’m now at 925 subscribers—mostly organic, with a couple of YouTube promo ads. But since those ads don’t count toward public watch hours, I’m still not monetized. What keeps me going are the 25 or so loyal subscribers who consistently watch my Zentangle drawing tutorials. At my lowest point, I saw a Pinterest post from someone who followed one of my videos and thanked me. Seeing her finished art was a beautiful reminder that real people are out there creating alongside me. Another viewer messaged to say my tutorials taught her a simple way to relax from everything happening in the world. She had no idea something so small could help. That meant everything. To other small creators here—keep going. Keep showing up. You're making an impact, even if it doesn’t show in the numbers yet.

It`s crazy how many things we`re taught about money that aren`t true.Why isn`t anyone talking about the book The Millionaire Circuit? It opens your eyes.
@brotha-alphi
Nearly 200 videos and up to 90 Subscribers. If it were about the numbers, I'd have stopped a looooong time ago. But as an Artist/Creator, we have no choice but to create. It's baked into the DNA. I'm super proud of the body of work I'm building. I'm my first fan; I regularly watch my own videos. I feel that this is a vital "metric" for how well your channel is doing.
@KeeDoVlogs
After a year of YouTube , I was recently monetized and now have 1050 subscribers. Goal for the remainder of the year is to try and upload weekly. I’m so thankful people spend their valuable time watching my content. I will continue to do improve and make better content.
