Hey friends, in this video I break down the single most important thing that I did to grow my YouTube channel whilst also having a full time job. I managed to get to a place where I was spending around 5-10 hours a week on the channel, which is pretty insane, so hopefully you'll find something useful. Enjoy x

There is one overlooked fact that stands out, and that is the "entertainment" factor. The biggest channels on YouTube are predominantly focused on entertainment. In order to succeed on YouTube, about 99% of content creators need to be entertaining and positive individuals. It is crucial to convey information in an entertaining manner. This is, in my opinion, the most important aspect, yet it is often left unsaid. And of course, selling plenty of "dreams".

I don't know who needs to hear this, but don't chase comfort at the age of labor, so you won't labor at the age of comfort.
-
The videos are definitely getting more spontaneous and cinematic. Well done!
-
Solid content, Ali. Also appreciate the way you integrated the sponsorship into this video. It didn't feel like an abrupt and disruptive transition to the sponsorship. It was as smooth as could be.

The most important thing you can do to gain subscribers is to consistently create high-quality content that resonates with your audience
-
This video gave me some great tips on how to grow my channel and gain millions of subscribers! Clear, concise, and informative - definitely worth watching for any aspiring YouTuber looking to make the most out of their spare time. Thanks for the helpful advice! Can't wait to implement those tips for one of my faceless channels, with the help of Famester, of course!!

You are now answering the question that popped into my head 30 seconds ago. Great writing. I'm learning absolute loads from this channel. Thank you!
-
This is one of the best videos you have made so far! I cannot do the "people" part yet but there was so much valuable things I found in the first half of this video!
-
As someone who is prioritizing creating my own content right now, I really love this type of content. Thank you!
-
You are completely right about outsourcing editing and other things that prevent you from creating more. Outsource editing is what we focus on. 🎞
-
The commentary along with showing the shorts was really helpful! I'm not ready to outsource video - until I improve my own skills - but I took some notes on things I can do to be better. Thank you!
-
One thing that is working for me is making the process as stress free and fun as possible
-
This was the video I needed to see today. Thank you for this. I am a newbie to this YouTube journey and seriously at a stage where I keep overthinking this whole thing. 1 will not give up. I am currently at 770 subscribers. I am here now and ready to learn, share and grow my channel.
-
Am finding it quite hard editing and making the videos while still trying to be there for my kids and family and what’s even harder is not seeing any change, but I am not going to give up, I will do this and I will achieve my goal 💐 thank you Ali
-
You're truly inspiring ! I've started my channel because of all your advice and I'm enjoying the whole YouTube journey process so much ! Thanks Ali
-
Sometimes, you have to give up. Sometimes, knowing when to give up, when to try something else, is genius. Giving up doesn’t mean stopping. Don’t ever stop.
-
Good luck to everyone who's working hard on their small channel. No one sees the hours of work we put in behind the scenes, but it will pay off someday.
-
Brilliant video Got me motivated again to work on my channel seriously. I was missing the consistency but now I will try outsourcing
-
You know I was so taken by the different editing styles that I didn’t even realize he was giving the 5 tips lol. I had to go back and watch again. Well done Ali 😂😂🎉🎉
-
I am at 730 subs. What I love about growing an audience is talking to them! We are all like minded and I'm loving the community aspect of YouTube.
