No Views? How I Stay Consistent on YouTube
About 90% of new YouTube channels quit before uploading 10 videos. But I uploaded 10 videos in just 18 days — and now I’m challenging myself to make one video every day.
In this video, I’ll share how I stay consistent by breaking it down into three parts:
The right mindset
The action plan
The system
- Mindset Change — YouTube Is a Dojo In martial arts, the dojo is where you repeat simple moves until they become part of who you are.
That’s how I see YouTube.
This dojo gives me real practice in 10 meta-skills:
Pattern Noticing: spotting hooks, titles, and analytics trends
Clarity: turning complex feelings into simple messages
Emotional Regulation: staying steady when views are low
Resilience & Consistency: posting even if no one is watching
Communication: speaking with story, energy, and presence
Learning How to Learn: script → record → edit → publish → analyze → adjust
Adaptability: testing new formats when things don’t work
Focus: choosing the right idea out of hundreds
Energy Management: knowing when to record, rest, or push
Self-Awareness: seeing blind spots and growing confidence on camera
These aren’t just YouTube skills—they’re universal life skills.
YouTube is a fantastic learning ground with immediate feedback: learn → apply → adjust → repeat.
It feels like a university.
So even if no one watches, I’m still upgrading my entire operating system.
- Action Plan — Anchor It into Action Mindset alone isn’t enough. Action is the best cure for self-doubt.
Here’s how I structure mine:
Focus on Video Count — 80% of my energy Instead of chasing views, I chase video count. My goal: 100 videos. At first, don’t waste too much energy on SEO or algorithms. Focus on creating your first 50 to 100 videos.
Drop Perfectionism — 20% of my energy I improve about 1% every video. That’s my “learning tax” — test, observe, adjust. For example, I keep a simple improvement log:
Last week, I learned how to use YouTube metadata to study tags.
This week, i noticed i need to :
Study patterns in titles & thumbnails
Use Analytics to study retention
Build a personal b-roll list
Collect b-roll ideas from other channels
Record b-roll from computer & phone screens
When you focus on making and improving, you don’t waste energy worrying about views.
- Build Systems
- My daily system(weekdays): Write my script before 4 AM Shoot in the morning Edit in the afternoon Upload by 8 PM
- My improvement system: If it’s simple, fix it right away If it takes time,i log it down and batch it on weekends
- My energy management system: Early bedtime, healthy eating, weight training, meditation, writing
- Celebrate small wins — every script, every upload is progress
- Create with passion — videos I truly want to share
- Watch my own videos — they feel like a progress journal in motion This system keeps my energy high and my growth consistent.
Outro / Call to Action At 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.
Because YouTube is a dojo.
Even without views, you’re practicing skills that will serve you everywhere.
You can’t lose anyway
