If I Started a Gaming Channel in 2026, I'd Do This

🎉🎉🎉

Goodluck to all gamers trying to break through on gaming content I wish y’all the best I’m over here on the same boat working a 9-5 still trying to break through lol it is definitely no easy feat congrats to those that have made it.

This was a great video thanks. Been building my channel for a couple of years and having fun. I have just hit 300 subs, got a long way to go but loving the journey. Any tips for a sim racing channel?

Thank you! Really!

My channel is 6 years old and I Just posted my 3rd video on Pokedrock Minecraft - I decided I actually might keep doing it more its quite fun actually

I work a job from 8-4 and will be starting my junior year in high school and doing online college, is that going to make this even harder to do?

I’ve gained 27 new subscribers past 2 weeks and have 858 now. It takes time to find your game and your audience. If you have the passion you will make it. Always be improving never get comfortable with your craft

I have 5 subscribers and I’m happy honestly..

I've been trying for 4 years now and only have 533 subscribers 😭

Still appreciate every single one though!!

is it okey to ask if i am doing it right with yt?

What about a gamer dad niche?

In my country, you don't need to do all that. Just play games, upload them, talk nonsense and here you have millions of views. How? Because adult people don't watch gaming videos in my country. It's mostly little children and children don't have taste. Playing children game is far more profitable than playing games for adults. Children don't analyse things like adults. They simply see shiny thumbnail, click on it and watch until the end.

who describes bg3 and lden ring as pc games? why not say fantasy rpgs?

""Hi, I am a graphic designer and I have created an attractive YouTube thumbnail for your channel that can help increase your viewers and click-through rate. However, I am currently unable to send the thumbnail here. If you're interested, please let me know an alternative way to share it with you."

I started my channel 4 months ago and I think I’m doing pretty good. I’m enjoying the series I got going and it’s doing pretty good.

Nice Thanks

Subscribe my gaming channel plz

What is that Pokemon game sequence being shown at 9:54 with the pirate ship and looming shadow next to it? Colour me officialy intrigued 😁

This kind of content should be dead. It's outdated, and a nuke war is coming.

Nope is dead and the content should be changed.

This man knows his stuff. Listen to him. Learn from him.

Tnx for the advise just back from quitting and start again wish me luck😭

I didn't think it was going to be so hard, Started few months ago at 22 subscribers now trying to reach my firts goal 100 subscribers not giving up!

Nice video, the tips were simple, clear, and really helpful for beginners 👍

Very helpful video, clear explanation and easy to follow 👌

Started a channel around a month ago having never edited a video before, currently have 9 videos on my channel with each one I feel like I'm getting better with my editing. Slowly letting my personality come through on camera having been quite nervous. I'm enjoying the process...onwards and upwards 💪

really nice video, the content feels clear and the pacing keeps it easy to watch till the end

Here with only 97 Subs but I hope to make it this year! Watch this space

OK so the real question for my fellow commenting people here...

Did you try what they suggested? Did it work for any of you? Are you getting views? Are you getting subscribers?

The info is solid, but it's certainly not for every gaming channel. It's clearly more oriented to guides and game information channels, not gameplay.
Idk if what you're doing is silently admitting there's no way to grow a gameplay channel, but I think there is. You can be a novel creator playing a well known game with a unique perspective and a compelling set of rules. But, for that, you don't need to be the fastest, nor the first. You can only be the best (at what you do).
It helps when you are the ONLY.

I started my channel a few months ago. I am a 58 year old gamer that isn't very good compared to the young guns, but I use that to my advantage to create funny/awkward situations. I'm not expecting to become a successful/famous streamer, I just do it because I enjoy the whole process. Learning how to make thumbnails, editing, understanding how the algorythms work. It is fun.

So I went from 13/14 subs in my first years on YouTube (I wasn't really creating until last year) I'm now at over 7k+ gained in the past 9 months. However I'm terrified because whenever I upload anything else... It flops in the algorithm.
