honestly how would i be successful at a youtube channel?

I have a 2k sub channel. It took me well over 2 years to get to that point and immeasurable hours editing and making and grinding.

BEing successful is not as easy as many portray it on YT. It looks way easier than it really is.

Also, you absolutely have to no matter what, post something good at least once a week. Two is better. Once a month, just won't fly and the algorithm will ignore you.

Above all else, just keep trying. Every failure is just a step towards success.
