What I’ve Learned from my 10,000 view YouTube video as a Small Creator

In addition to my freelance lettering work that I take on for my business AGF Design Studio, I publish educational videos for creatives to my YouTube channel of the same name. I create videos teaching lettering, digital art, and share product reviews. This article, however, isn’t about my hugely successful channel. As a matter of fact, at the time of me writing this I still haven’t qualified for the YouTube Partner Program. But, what I do have is a successful video that is driving steady growth on my channel.

And trust me, I know 10,000 views isn’t considered viral by any means, but for a channel like mine with less than 1,000 subscribers, I consider this a big win. So what have I learned from having a “slow burn” success video on YouTube that has over 10,000 views? Let’s jump in.
