I’m curious how creators here find people to collaborate with when they’re in related niches.
I’m interested in working with creators around history, science, education, anthropology, and prehistoric topics, especially creators who are serious about long-term growth.
What has actually worked for you,Reddit, Discord, creator communities, or reaching out directly?
Not looking for sub4sub. I’m specifically interested in genuine collaborations where both channels can benefit.

Most self-help channels explain concepts. Few explain them in a way that makes the viewer feel understood mid-sentence.

That gap — between "I know this" and "I felt this" — is where I work. I write scripts for psychology, self-help, and human-behavior channels: how attention gets hijacked, why the mind avoids stillness, what happens in the six seconds before someone gives up on a video.

I'm not offering to help you make more videos. I'm offering to help you make videos that sit with someone after the video ends.

Looking to work with a small number of channels between 5K and 50K subs — creators who already have a clear voice and just need the writing to catch up to it. No AI-generated scripts, no templates. Every script is built around your channel and how your audience already thinks.

If that's you, comment or DM with your channel and I'll send a free sample rewrite of one of your existing videos, no strings, so you can judge the difference yourself

Hi everyone!

I’m thinking about starting a YouTube channel, but I’m a bit confused about how to get started. I also don’t have a lot of time, so I’m looking for a niche/content style that I can realistically manage.

I have a couple of questions:

Can I download videos from YouTube, edit them (cuts, commentary, subtitles, etc.), and upload them to my own channel? Would this be allowed and eligible for monetization?

What about AI-generated videos? Can I create videos using AI tools and monetize the channel?

If both are possible, which approach would be better for someone with limited time?

Any suggestions for beginner-friendly niches that don’t require a huge amount of time to produce content?

I’d really appreciate advice from people who have actually grown and monetized YouTube channels. Thanks!

I have a small animated storytelling channel here. I want to ask collaborating with a very big channel can give long lasting impressions such that after just 1 collaboration, I will get continues views. Again if any big channel in my niche wants to collaborate, we can discuss terms

I uploaded my new video ~48 hours ago around, I only have 118 impressions. It’s not normal for me, usually I get a surge of impressions by now and then my video will flatline by Day 4/5.

This has never happened to me, with such slow growth that I feel like it has flatlined before Day 2.

Here are my stats: 35 views, 15% CTR, ~32% Retention, 4:40 AVD, 14 minute video.

Has anyone successfully broke through this super slow early growth of impressions and later YouTube started promoting your video a lot?

I make long-form ambient gaming videos (1+ hour relaxing walks in games like The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2).

Because the videos are long, my watch time builds up fast and average view duration is good. But actually getting people to hit subscribe is a whole different story since most people just put the video on in the background.

Is anyone else in a niche with high watch time but with a lower subscriber count? How are you handling it?

My channel is bebetterwithme and made my firsy video ever so i need suggestions on what to improve and what not also I am using DaVinci resolve for editing and pirated photoshop for thumbnails. Feel free to be as honest as possible

Looking for a long-term gaming editor to grow a YouTube channel with me (£20–£40/video)

Hey everyone 👋

I'm looking for a gaming video editor who wants to grow alongside a small YouTube channel, rather than just do one-off editing jobs.

I'm currently at around 50 subscribers, but I'm serious about growing the channel and I'm on my PS5 gaming pretty much every day, so I can provide plenty of footage.

🎮 What I make: Gaming content ,

✂️ What I'm looking for:

• Good cuts and pacing
• Remove boring/dead sections
• Some zooms, sound effects and funny edits when appropriate
• Basic text/captions
• Keep the video entertaining without going overboard with effects
• Ideally someone who can eventually help with Shorts/thumbnails too

💷 Budget: Around £30–£40 per finished video. I'm not expecting professional Hollywood-level editing for that price.

🤝 Most importantly: I'm looking for someone who wants to build something long-term. I'm happy to start small and, if the channel grows, increase what I pay you.

If you're a newer editor trying to build your portfolio and you're genuinely into gaming, feel free to comment or DM me with your portfolio/Discord.

I'm happy to send over some gameplay for a small trial so we can see if we're a good fit.

You can also check out my channel: Scorpie-Gamez-04

Thanks

I have a really hard time making thumbnails, and not sure when I need to jump off them to a new one? I have videos that range from 10% to as low as 2%.

Hey everyone! I’m a video editor currently looking to work with creators, YouTubers, and anyone who needs help editing their videos.

I can help with things like:

Short-form videos / Reels / Shorts YouTube videos Captions and subtitles Cuts, transitions, music, and pacing

I’m currently building my portfolio, so I’m offering affordable editing.(negotiable depending on the quality of video)

Please dm for sample videos

Plss I'm really new to this and too excited and stressed at the same time...

-- So pinadala ng Google yung PIN noong July 22, tapos nag-check ako sa post office noong August 14 at wala pa raw... Plano ko sanang pumunta uli ngayong August 18-20, sa tingin mo kaya nandun na kaya yun?? Nag-request na rin ako ng bagong PIN... Pls baguhan lang talaga ako dito, sobrang nae-excite na na-o-overwhelm at the same time... :)

Salut !

Je suis actuellement à la recherche d'un monteur vidéo francophone qui souhaite s'entraîner, progresser ou développer son portfolio en travaillant sur de vraies vidéos YouTube.

Ma chaîne est principalement orientée gaming, avec beaucoup de contenu autour de Roblox, mais également d'autres jeux.

Ce que je recherche

• Un monteur francophone
• À l'aise avec le contenu gaming
• Capable de faire un montage dynamique et adapté à YouTube
• Quelqu'un qui cherche avant tout à s'améliorer et acquérir de l'expérience
• Collaboration non rémunérée pour le moment

De mon côté, je peux fournir régulièrement des rushs afin de te permettre de pratiquer sur de vrais projets et, bien sûr, tu pourras utiliser les montages réalisés dans ton portfolio.

Je ne demande pas forcément quelqu'un avec énormément d'expérience : si tu débutes et que tu es motivé, ça me va totalement.

Si ça t'intéresse, réponds en commentaire ou contacte-moi en DM avec quelques exemples de ce que tu sais faire !

It's almost THREE years since I couldn't make new videos for my channel. When I saw it was starting to make 3000+ views with my latest videos, I wanted it to grow and I wanted to bring the content to a whole new level, making 30 - 60 mins long videos with a webcam and no longer just parallax, my profile and pics.

I had a hard time fixing my studio, getting s new gaming PC, a decent webcam and mics, but, most importantly - since editing whole 30min - 1 hour videos after writing and filming them takes too much time for a single person who doesn't even study such things and I don't want to castrate my art by shortening video content - I need a partner who edits..

That's right - the problem is that every editor I found went away with an excuse or the other, like "I need to work on my video editing site" (which is still not a thing, weirdly), "I have exams" (some saying this still made edits for himself and others), "I'm gonna go on holiday right now" (still ghosted me after). I found some on Discord server, the most recent ones on Reddit. The last one I had claimed he wanted to help me after I made a long vent post on my general situation (not just about the videos, but 2/3 years was stil a heavy toll on me). This user came and said he lived in the same zone as me (for those who don't get why I don't want DMs, one of the reasons is I'm from Italy). After many talks on Discord, both chats and calls, even about personal things, when he even associated my loneliness and lack of support with "not having sex" (I still tolerated him), I really had to make a video between the end of February and early March. Althought I couldn't find a way to finish the script or completely film it until March 27th, I still came up with a video that should have already came out since months. Guess what he did? After I passed the half cleaned video to him (40 mins long), he messed it up with below amateur half - editing and just ghosted. I threw it all away after burning out trying to fix his mess. Now we're in August. My channel is still a barren landscape because of this person, who probably just wanted a pretty little "girlfriend", as he insisted on seeing each other in person in Naples, probably thinking I was more naïve than what I really am as an adult. Blaming me because bitterness hurts your fewings? Well, I was never disrespectful to him, Discord chats prove it.

Another person I met at the same time is a legit editor - yet she is far and lives in Milan and wants to do it "out of pity" - I understand hoew she feels sbout me, but if the relationship has to be based on pity, or shall feel like a cold job contract, I don't want that.

What I need is a capable person who can:

- use programs such as Davinci Resolve or After Effects;

- is reliable and has studied editing.

I was willing to pay them, but I don't know where to look, as sites like Pronto pro or Fiverr can hide scams and dangerous bots. Can you help me? Please avoid joke replies or dismissing of burnout feelings after all that has happened, let's discuss seriously and avoid DMs, as I don't trust Reddit users anymore.

I’m seriously considering removing my content from the platform

Long form relaxing piano music

Five min 22 second song

Average view duration of 2min 52sec (54% of video)

72% still watching at 30 second mark

44% of all viewers listen to the ENTIRE SONG, the full 5min 22seconds

Ctr is 3.3% which sounds low but I’ve read average for piano us like 2%-4%

Stats are from 170 views almost all from suggested videos spanning 30+ different videos

Despite all of this. Getting about 12 views a day on this song and that’s it

It’s only been posted less than a month so maybe it’s a waiting game

Just spent hours and hours making this music and it’s frustrating to see the algorithm not push it even with good stats—or maybe the stats aren’t as good as I think

Like do I really need even better stats? Is it just a waiting game?

My channel is only five weeks old. Maybe that’s part of it

I love YouTube but this is confusing

Are you looking for a fresh set of eyes on your channel?

I've been putting together Creator Breakdowns where I take a proper look at someone's channel from a viewer's perspective. I'll look at their content, niche, goals, thumbnails, titles, strengths, weaknesses, and the things I think could have the biggest impact on them moving forward.

I'm not trying to tell people there's one magic formula for growing on YouTube. This is simply "here's what I see when I look at your channel, and here's what I'd try if I were you"

I recently made a Discord for creators where people can share their content, get feedback, discuss ideas, look at analytics, find people to collaborate with, and just have other creators around them. If you're interested in getting a breakdown or wanna join the community, let me know!!

Should I trash them or keeping them with their taking space for my PC?

My channel was banned on youtube because they said it used weird practices. Years ago my friend had a youtube channel with 5k subs he said to me I could have it so we connected it to my account (I didn't know you weren't allowed to do this as i was much younger and didn't bother reading the terms and services) now when the account got banned I was disappointed but my main concern is never making another channel I have big dreams and aspirations much like every other creator on the platform and this gives me such a feeling of hopelessness. I had no idea back then and I would never do this again I just want to make a channel again.
