Struggling to grow your YouTube channel? I spent 12 years making content that didn't go viral, and in this video, I share the mindset shift that finally helped me grow to 750,000 subscribers in just two years.
For 12 years I struggled on YouTube.
After more than a decade of uploading videos, I had reached just 28,000 subscribers. I thought the answer was to make videos that I enjoyed and hope other people would like them too.
I was completely wrong.
Everything changed when I stopped asking, "Will people like my videos?" and started asking, "What videos do people actually want to watch?"
That single mindset shift transformed my channel from 28,000 subscribers to more than 750,000 in just two years.
In this video I'm sharing the honest story behind that journey. No fake gurus. No overnight success. Just the lessons I learnt after spending 12 years making almost every mistake possible before finally understanding what YouTube was trying to tell me.
I'll explain:
Why I failed for so long.
The biggest mistake almost every creator makes.
How I learnt to work with the algorithm instead of fighting it.
The simple philosophy that helped me create over 150 videos with more than one million views each.
Why I'm now building a sustainable long-form YouTube business instead of chasing viral hits.
If you're a creator whose channel feels stuck, I made this video for you. I hope it saves you years of frustration.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments. I read as many as I can and I'll do my best to help.
