I haven’t done one of these in a while BUT I want to get back on track in the new year so I thought I would do one for the last month in 2015! Start the year off right \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In the monthly Channel Reports, I take a look at my YouTube channel and breakdown the numbers and talk about what I did right and what I did wrong.<\/p>\n

December is normally a great month when it comes to content creation on Youtube. Obviously, for monetary reasons as Advertisers are running more ads spending that marketing budget, but outside of that, I saw views and Subscribers go up dramatically. I had 651,000 views and gained 3,032 new subscribers. This is up almost 25% in both categories from last December. I always love comparing months in the current year to last year to see where I am at!<\/p>\n

The Happenings In The Month of December:<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

I released 8 new videos in the month of December which is about average for what I have been doing this year. (Next Year I plan on creating a release schedule so my community knows when to expect certain pieces of content). *** More On This in a future post!<\/p>\n

I tested a new type of thumbnail on my videos with a different design. I have learned that by including a border around the thumbnail, it makes your videos stand out from the rest in search results.<\/p>\n

Example of my new thumbnails here:<\/p>\n\n

To learn how to create great-looking YouTube thumbnails I have created some great video resources Here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also have signed up for an external YouTube Application called TubeBuddy.<\/p>\n

TubeBuddy is a great tool that can be utilized to do certain things that are not available to creators from the native YouTube platform.<\/p>\n

For more information about TubeBuddy go Here:<\/a><\/p>\n

Overall it was a fantastic December on YouTube and a great Year overall. I cannot wait to commit more time to YouTube in 2016 as well as this website to help other’s like yourself reach their YouTube goals in 2016.<\/p>\n

As always guys don’t forget to listen to the YouTube Creators Hub Podcast<\/a>, where I interview other YouTubers and ask them questions about their YouTube careers and any other advice they would give to aspiring YouTubers.<\/p>\n
