    The hardest part about creating a new KRplus channel is finding time for the grind. If your not a full time content creator and don’t have 100% of your time to put into a KRplus channel it makes it twice as hard. Posting a regular unambitious video once a month wont make your channel grow at all without insane luck.
    What a lot of content creators seem to forget with these challenges is that normal people don’t have all day to make KRplus videos.
    Im not saying it’s impossible for new creators to build a following, I’m saying that new creators must put all the time they have into a channel if they want to ever go full time.
    How can a student or someone who works long shifts as a doctor ever find time to upload 4-5 videos a day.

      This experiment was made with the intention in mind to get initial viewership from Mizkifs audience and then have the algorhythm do it's thing and recommend it to more people.

      Put me as an example: when I tried to be a streamer - just quit the streaming job because i found out that was not what i want in my life - i've got like from 6 to 16 viewers daily (who actually was engaging and chatting in my stream). I've got that because i had some friends and
      acquaintances that liked my personality and enjoyed what they were seeing. At the end of my "career" i was already getting some strangers in my livestreams and some ganks from famous streamers in my country.

      @HeatherGermaine 2 년 전 +67

      @@xChitenshi I think people forget that if you are trying to start up as a streamer or content uploader, you're essentially starting up your own business. A lot of people have an issue with putting some money up to advertise their content, but business owners have to promote all the time. It's the same concept, if you want to stream as a job then you have to treat it like a business. To be fair, starting up a business as a streamer is a lot cheaper than starting up a business with a shop in a physical location. Ludwig also made a good point, you don't need to pay for editors or voice actors (he had to get a voice actor because his voice would be recognized and he got an editor because he has other channels and a steam to handle), he even made it a point that you can easily "get" the editing software you need. Honestly, it just comes down to putting the effort. People can't expect to grow big without putting money into their business. If a video blows up in a few hours compared to others, it means they have done some form of marketing on the internet or even in their social life, and that they probably had a good video out.

    I'm not entirely okay with this.
    This video is surely helpful, it shows some tricks about titles, thumbnails and tools to make your content more appealing to the viewers and the algorithm. It also tries to show that it's not about luck but "skill" (let's call it that).
    However, it comes from a very privileged point of view. Not everyone can afford to spend 600 dollars on their first video and even tho nobody would need to spend 130 dollars for the voice over, they still would need a microphone and right equipment to do it. Also, someone who just started will need practice on how to talk, how to write a script and generally how to make a story that is coherent enough to have sense and which has a message or proves a point at the end. I understand trying to make the video simple, but I feel like Ludwig has overseen important aspects of creating a yt channel from scratch.

      So hopefully this isn't taken negatively but here's some feedback for how I perceived it: I decided to check out your channel real quick and watched the very beginning of your two latest videos. The first one starts with a really annoying sound of the camera being put down, which really isn't good at the start of a video, that sound annoys me and makes me wanna leave rather than catch my attention. The second-to-last video (donating your hair) is in a quiet room with just you talking, but has an annoying loud level of white noise behind. I'm really sensitive to sounds. It sounds really cheap. It's ok in the car and all but at the very beginning I feel like in a quiet room in your own space I would expect really good sound. Rest of the video seems fine, the hair cutting and all, but here's just the reason why I, personally, was immediately kind of reluctant to keep watching on my part. I know it's dumb reasons but... yeah. That's me. Hopefully this is useful in any way.

    The problem with keeping the OnlineLore channel is that it definitely has the potential to exceed the Ludwig channel, assuming you keep making the same type and quality of content for it. The Ludwig channel is mostly driven by people interested in Ludwig. You're either interested in the goings-on of Ludwig (in which case you subscribe), or you're not (in which case you don't).

    Hey, I just want to point out while the content itself was definitely top notch and that there is definitely a lot of skill that goes into it, there is still the issue that it usually takes a catalyst before a video takes off from a small content creator. If it wasn't for that shoutout from Miz the video would have most likely not have been picked up by the algorithm. Luck does actually play a huge role in the algorithm and there are thousands of qualified content creators that make fantastic content that go unnoticed because they haven't been given a chance yet.

      ​@@labradfordjackson7623 Here's the thing, getting your content in front of someone prominent is HUGELY dependent on luck. Most larger content creators are constantly inundated with notifications and tags, and they definitely don't check all of them or read all of their comments or emails. I have actually had a bit of exposure from a larger content creator, and it was almost entirely luck. For context, I primarily make cello covers of soundtracks.
      I had made a cello cover from the show Legend of Korra, which I tweeted out to the composer Jeremy Zuckerman. He happened to see the video and really liked it, and shared it with all of his Twitter followers, one of whom is the composer and KRplusr Samuel Kim (1.1m subs). After working with Samuel for a while, he gave me a shoutout and I got a lot more exposure suddenly, doubling my subscriber count in a week and increasing my views by literally 999%. None of this would have happened if my initial video was ignored by Jeremy Zuckerman! I owe a lot of my current status as a content creator to these two men, and I am so thankful that Jeremy Zuckerman is such a kind person and enthusiastic about fan-made content.
      This situation was also an anomaly. 95% of the time when I make a cover and do everything I can to tag and tweet out my video to the composer/creator, it just gets ignored. That's just the way it is, and it can be absolutely brutal for up and coming content creators who are essentially shouting into an uncaring void.
