I don't know if I'm doing ok, or good. It's all a bit confusing, overwhelming. Can anyone talk/help me?
So I started my channel on October 13th, and I thought it was going well, but after a week, naif as I was switched to 'Made for kids'. And for 10 days, i got almost 0 views. So I switched back, and the views started again. I still don't know if I should be in the 'Made for kids' section or not.
Anyway, I've gotten some views and 102 subscribers. But I don't know, something feels off. Like YouTube shows my videos in the shorts feed for a few hours and then they die. I don't understand why. I guess my 'niche' is not the easiest. To make matters worse, so many people seem against using AI. But I work my ass off. Last night I was working on a video until 6 this morning and at 8 I had to start working. I don't mind cause I love it.
But it's hard to stay motivated, maybe its not the right word but I feel like sailing without a compass you know. I don't know if I'm doing good, if what I'm doing is right. If my expectations are too high.. I just feel a bit overwhelmed and I've been reading some nice posts here, (most) people seem genuinely nice and caring so I thought, let's try. I also don't know if I'm cut out for this, I really care about my work and I get easily thrown off balance because of negativity or overthinking..
Here are my stats, can anyone tell me whats going on? (I asked chatgpt but honestly, its output is so inconsistent I dont know what to believe anymore). And yeah sometimes a real person's help or advice is so much nicer.
If you can tell me what I need to work on or if I just have to be patient??
Thanks a lot! :)
