No Views? How I Stay Consistent on YouTube
About 90% of new YouTube channels quit before uploading 10 videos.
Not because they can’t do it… but because they lose motivation when no one is watching.
I just crossed my first 10 videos, but instead of quitting, I’m challenging myself to make one video every day.
Here’s how I stay productive — even without feedback.
1. Accept No Views at First
At the beginning, no views are normal. Don’t take it personally.
It doesn’t mean you’re failing — it just means you’re at the starting line.
2. Focus on Video Count
Instead of chasing views, I chase video count.
My goal is to make 100 videos. Some days, I even push myself to post daily.
Don’t waste your energy worrying about SEO, settings, or the algorithm at the start.
Focus on creating. Focus on your 100 videos mission first.
3. Make It a Consistency Challenge
I think of making videos as a consistency challenge.
It’s a test of whether I can stay inside my energy economy.
By seeing it this way, I shift my focus.
I’m not just making videos — I’m testing whether energy itself can keep me consistent enough to do something that feels impossible.
Honestly, making 100 videos in 100 days sounds a little crazy… but it excites me.
It turns this lonely journey into something meaningful — and even fun.
4. Celebrate Small Wins
Every video is a win. Every script finished, every upload completed — that’s progress.
Sometimes I share with my English teachers:
“I made 4 videos last week!” or “I’ve uploaded 9 already!” or “I think I can do one every day!”
Celebrating small wins keeps me motivated.
5. Create With Passion
Make videos you actually care about.
I share my awakening journey — and even if no one watches, it still gives me energy.
Because creating itself rewires my brain.
Even if my videos don’t help others yet, they are already transforming me.
I even feel motivated watching my own videos.
Every upload is more than content — it’s a mirror of my growth.
Watching them is like reviewing my progress journal in motion.
And that gives me energy to keep going.
6. Drop Perfectionism
Perfection is the fastest way to burn out. Progress is what compounds.
Done is better than perfect — especially at the beginning.
That’s why I keep things simple:
- Basic editing
- Basic thumbnails
- Basic SEO
I don’t split my energy across too many things.
I stay focused on my 100 videos mission.
7. Build a Daily System
I follow a simple system: I keep my energy level high with early bedtime, healthy eating, weight training, meditation, and writing.
Then my daily flow is simple:
- Write my script after waking up before 4 AM
- Shoot in the morning
- Edit in the afternoon
- Upload by 8 PM
When you have a system like this, productivity becomes automatic.
Outro / Call to Action
In the beginning, no one sees you.
But keep going — make 100 videos.
Things might change in ways you can’t imagine.
And if nothing changes after that? Make another 100.
You can’t lose if you don’t give up.
