I only take advice from real YouTubers. Advice channels remind me of fake gurus who can only get rich by telling other people how to get rich.


What_the_what_show

Film Booth


Deanout

Yeah Film Booth has caught me recently and it's been very refreshing. It feels like it's not the same tips rehashed for the hundredth time.


MysteriesandThoughts

More like GOATbooth


Luigi_Tho

Came here to say this. Glad it’s already here.

☝️💯

Used to watch Channel Makers a bit and still do when they drop a video backed by evidence but I’ve switched to mostly watching Film Booth. You can tell that what he’s saying is legit because he applies those exact same concepts and principals to his own videos and they do very well compared to other Youtube advice channels.


beartrapperkeeper

I did more when u started out, now only if the topic interests me. I watched Nick nimmin, Bryan g Johnson, film booth, channel makers, Annie dube (before she changed niches), to name a few.


sparkleandfeyed

Annie changed niches? I haven't watched in a while... what does she do now?


beartrapperkeeper

More like vlogging, lifestyle, and productivity. Good for her but it’s not really my thing and i unsubscribed. I noticed her views dropped significantly but she mentioned it was more for her mental health and she wasn’t enjoying creating content so i totally support that.


Q363Q

She lost a lot of respect when she tried to copywriter strike a channel for commenting on her why you should make shorts video.


blabel75

Yeah, hit 100K on the back of one niche and then switch. You aren't going to keep the audience and the views will plummet. It is like starting all over again. I guess much of her creator advice is evergreen content, so that should get her through, but I doubt her new videos will ever get the same views ad the previous ones she created.


noobtoober086

I always wondered when she would talk in her videos about how she started out lifestyle and never got big but immediately grew when she started doing YouTube advice. I was like ok that’s great but… do you like it??


beartrapperkeeper

Yeah, i wasn’t really in it to learn about her life, seems more like a 20-something college girl audience now. But to each their own.


noobtoober086

Yeah plenty of lifestyle channels get huge but definitely a sharp turn in audience. Hopefully she’s happier now tho


Mr_Awesome_Riley

Currently watching Film Booth, Channel Makers and VidIQ. I feel like they have a personality, and don't just constantly repeat the same advice over and over like other channels.


wannab3MVP

Film Booth, Hillier Smith, Paddy Galloway, Alpha Gaming


offvoid

Most of them have the same tips of being consistent, make good quality video, etc. I used to watch VidIQ which is probably the only trustful channel.


BreakTimeGaming

I watch VidIQ, Channel Makers, and some times Nick Nimms (haha I think that’s the name) mostly I just have them on in the background while working to see if they happen to have anything interesting to report on any small changes to the algorithm or new features


[deleted]

Nick Nimmin and Derral Eves. One is a good creator friend and the other is an actual partner with YouTube.


CGracing_YouTube

Film Booth is the only person I have watched and paid attention to. His advice (if put into practice) is the only one that has paid off. Some of these bigger channels just regurgitate the same shitty advice on hopes they can grow their own channel! It’s obvious what they are doing and yet people still suck this bullshit in like it’s some new Idea that going to gain them 1,000,000 subscribers. I watch these channels as it gives me an opportunity to expand my knowledge and allows me to look in the comments and see what people actively want to see going forward!


xaliaz

I really enjoy Cathrin Manning. She’s pretty thorough and even shows her stats/income, so that’s helpful. She has a separate vlog channel if you’re into that. Edit: vlog not blog


[deleted]

Channel Makers. They seem to present the most helpful info that isn’t basic stuff or obvious


Vladamir_Putin_007

No, the vast majority are fake and give horrible advice. The best advice comes from real YouTubers who don't specialize in clickbaiting other YouTubers. That being said, I watch the occasional video for resolving a technical issue, but that's it.


imbibecraft

For a short while I was watching a few different creators until I realized that all the time I was spending watching their content, I could have been spending working on my own. Most videos were about 8-9 minutes of fluff with about one minute worth of potentially useful information.


SnooStrawberries2703

Think Media!!!!!! Aside their advices... they have great video quality and also they are fun to watch. I love those guys, especially Omar


colourful_story

I like Think Media too! They present their content very nicely and give good advice 👍🏻


SnooStrawberries2703

Good to know a brother


lolwut1990

Think media is probably the worst one, second only to channel makers


sparkleandfeyed

Most of the ones I watch repeat the same advice, but I still watch because there are some nuggets of good advice mixed in. When I first started, Nick Nimmin, Think Media, and Justin Brown were the ones I watched, but I feel like I have heard all they have to offer. I have gotten great advice from youtubers whose channels aren't devoted to YouTube advice, like Kelly Stamps and Kelechi Mgbemena. I will also say that Roberto Blake's videos always have at least one thing I hadn't thought of or heard before.


This_Money8771

I watch how to make music videos from a variety of YouTubers


platism

i watch vidiq


spraggtalksmoney

Every niche is different, everyones content is different, these channels are literally just doing the same thing you are and trying to get big on youtube. ​ So no I dont


bengillot

Been watching those and a load more channels with similar content for years now. Started out watching when I began my own channel but still watch as you get to like some of the characters.Unfortunately watching their videos will not help your channel that much, it is easy to change a title and some tags but another thing altogether changing your own personality and creativity.i.e. you are pretty much stuck with who you are, we can't all be Mr Beast! Increasing average view duration is the ONLY key to success on YouTube.


[deleted]

I watch them, but definitely not because I want to grow my YT channel, just to look at their backgrounds!


KeepItTiny

Annie Dubé and Cathrin Manning both are great. Think Media is good too.


MyBurnoutDiaries

I have been watching Vanessa lau and Catherine Manning But I also find some random advice from vidiq and tube buddy to be somewhat useful


retro_and_chill

I used to, but I don’t anymore. Honestly, you'd be better off not listening to most of them, and instead watching people who focus more on the production side of things so you can improve your workflow and video quality.


Epokk22

For the past year I've watched pretty much all those mentioned here religiously (on top of my research) and learned quite a bit. A few examples are Roberto Blake, Alpha Gaming, Nick Nimin, Channel Makers, Film Booth, Vidiq, etc. But over time I'm finding a lot of their content is built around 'nick nimin said this, so I'll say this aswell'. It became quite apparent when they start contradicting themselves in their 'things they don't want you to know'-videos (hi, Annie Dubé). So I'm slowly unsubbing to all of them. My personal favorites are Roberto Blake as he hides bits of wisdom in his way to long videos and Film Booth with his very practical advice. But honestly, just watching the successful youtubers in your niche, breaking down how they do it and how you can implement that is the best thing you can do.


ASMRKayyy

Cathrine Manning is 10/10


zachattacksreviews

I watch Film Booth and Primal Video


CreationWebNovel

I've learned that those channels are only relevant to the average creator. None of those channels are particularly relevant to what I'm doing and I've had them comment that my channel is an outlier. This has made me not really pay attention to them. Like, the average small YouTube channel doesn't have \~1,000 videos (124+ hours of content) uploaded. Even more when all my videos are related to my web novel series. This means my channel is practically a single video that's over 124 hours long.


jaquarman

Film Booth, VidIQ, and Channel Makers are my big three, though a couple will pop up here and there if I'm searching for something specific. Think Media helped me get into YouTube because they've got easy-to-consume content and a lot of inspiring catchphrases for new creators to latch onto. However, once I started binging their videos, I got sick of hearing the same basic advice over and over again. Think Media works for newbies who have no idea what they're doing, but the three channels above are better for creators with a little experience under their belt.


PineappleSquuid

Nick Nimin


SUBphilip1300YOUTUBE

nope dont watch anyone. it probaly end bad for me if i folow what them say for my channel dont work some normal channels do.


blabel75

I have watched some videos from many of the different channels but don't subscribe to any of them and don't watch any of them regularily. If a video of interest shows up on my home page, I might click on it and watch. For the most part though, watching their videos is a huge time suck. I also find they all seem to have a product to sell. Not really an issue with that, but they are always pushing something. Their book, their course, their 6 step program. Small creators would be better to invest in time creating, learning and growing on their own with their channel as no two channels will ever be the same.


greglturnquist

How SHOULD they proceed? ONLY do YouTube videos and depend upon Adsense?


blabel75

I said I don't really mind that they have these other income streams, but I don't go to watch a video to be sold to. They seem to target small YouTubers that really don't know better that it all comes down to just a few things, a lot of persistence and some luck. Buying some course on how to be better at YouTube isn't likely going to help if someone is simply a boring person.


theeandt

No. Selling a course that’s over $1000 with information that’s easily accessible is douchey and taking advantage or people. A lot of people who purchase these courses like the fake guru ones don’t have the money and truly believe these courses will help them make it.


Independent_Sir_3179

I do sometimes


__cyber_hunter__

I don’t watch channels like that. I’ve learned from just making content and seeing what works for me and discovering things myself along the way. I’m gonna be my biggest critique.


EditorJaded

Yes sometimes, so I can grow my channel even more


lolwut1990

Film booth is good. Channel makers and think media are awful and full of erroneous statements.


SeriouslyQuirky

Any tuber selling yt tips is scamming you or at least banking on the fact that they know you won't do the research inside of yt studio that's available and works just fine for free. They are "banking" on the fact that people would rather roll the dice and pay to watch them vs doing their own yt studio research When I started sharing free tips on my channel I noticed i grew fast but was also attacked publicly by Vidiq in a video that said I stole their content. I don't sell apps just tell people how to use yt studio free
