It’s been a long time coming but my YouTube channel finally hit 2000 subscribers on the 13th June 2024 at 12:02 pm. If you read my previous post, Annual Review 2023 and Goals for 2024, I mentioned how one of my goals for last year was to reach 2000 subscribers on the YouTube channel however I was not able to achieve this. I was determined to achieve it this year and I started to publish a video almost every day (this included YouTube shorts), this year I finally managed to reach 1 million views on the channel and 2000 subscribers. I managed to capture the moment when the channel hit 2000 subscribers:
I completely agree with content creators who emphasise the importance of consistency. It’s true that maintaining a consistent schedule for creating and sharing content is crucial for building and maintaining an engaged audience. By consistently delivering valuable and high-quality content, content creators can establish trust and loyalty with their audience, ultimately leading to long-term success and I believe I managed to do so. I have also started adding more of my Run Everyday videos to hopefully inspire people to run or become more healthy especially since I’m almost reaching my 5-year mark for running at least 5 KM every day. You can read more about my fitness journey and how I’ve been consistent with my health and exercises.
One of the benefits I’ve noticed from posting every day is that the views and monetisation have also increased. I plan to reinvest the money to either buy better equipment, and tools or even pay for social media marketing (SMM). When it comes to purchasing equipment, I always prioritise functionality over cost. I believe in investing in items that will genuinely enhance my work, rather than simply opting for the most expensive options available. This method allows me to make thoughtful and practical decisions that contribute to the improvement of my work processes.
One of my primary goals is to significantly increase the number of subscribers to my channel. I’m aiming to reach 10,000 subscribers initially, and eventually, I’m targeting a milestone of 100,000 subscribers, which is the threshold for receiving the coveted YouTube plaque. I understand that this is not a goal that can be achieved overnight as it requires consistent effort and dedication. Despite the challenges that come with managing this as a side hustle, I am committed to staying focused and putting in the necessary effort. While it can be disheartening to not see immediate results, I firmly believe that with perseverance, I can attain this goal. If you have any tips on how to grow my YouTube channel or if you would like to collaborate, let me know.
