 So how many channels do you have? I've got 43. Coming up today, Mike discusses when you should start a second channel or if you should just focus on the one you got. What is up everyone my name is Destiny Mike and welcome to a dark and dreary rainy day. It's raining in the background so if you could hear the rain I apologize but I can't really stop the weather to make a video so here I am. Now the other day I got asked the question when should I start up a second channel? Now although there isn't an exact answer for this I will give my personal opinion on this and you can apply it however you see fit. Now me personally I've had roughly like 1047 channels. I've tried many different projects and it wasn't until recently that I found what I wanted to stick with. What I learned is that it's in fact important to figure out what you want to do with YouTube however it is important to make sure that you're not dividing your attention. In the early stages of YouTube you need to focus on your work and make sure that your channel is in order to make sure it grows. If you have your attention divided amongst multiple channels trying to make them all grow it's not going to work very well. So what I recommend is focus on one channel until you are ready to try something new and you have a pre-established audience to share this material with. Now although it is okay to have a melting pot of material on your channel you're quickly going to learn what material is working for your channel and what material isn't. Now on the other hand if something is working significantly better it might actually hurt your channel. For instance on my first channel I tried doing a series where I did sketches and vlogs and games. I tried having a bunch of different stuff on this one channel but one of my series took off and was doing significantly better than the rest. My videos as a whole were averaging about 30,000 views a day however when I posted something that wasn't this series they would have trouble breaking a thousand views and sometimes they were even much lower than that. Now the views they did get did have some positivity however they did have a lot of backlash at the same time because people were upset that I wasn't posting more of the show that they liked. If the majority of the people are subscribed for one thing and then you post up other stuff you're gonna see some upset people. So in the end it was really hard for me to continue with this channel. In the end I decided that it was necessary to divide up the channel and start up a new channel for the material that I wanted to post. So if you're gonna be doing multiple types of material on one channel you need to be willing to adapt to this and change things as you see fit. Now I don't condone making videos solely for the viewers. You need to make sure that you are enjoying what you're making but what I am saying is if you post up multiple different genres on your channel some will do better than others. Now if you'd like to monitor how you can tell what genres of videos are working better than others to determine what's working for you you can follow the video link in the sidebar titled grouping videos. So in short it's time to make yourself a second channel if you feel that your viewers are being turned away from your channel because of the material that you're posting. If you feel that the multiple different genres of videos are actually stunting the growth of your channel then that is definitely a sign that you need to start up a new channel. Remember that there is an audience out there for everyone however the audience you have on your main channel that you're posting stuff on might not like all the different material you're posting. So if you make more of a niche channel you're gonna have more support overall between all of your videos.
