What are effective strategies for growing a small YouTube channel?

Finding a trend that resonates with your audience is crucial. I spent a lot of time experimenting with different styles and topics before I hit upon something that worked. In my case, I created a video around a popular subject—SpongeBob—that unexpectedly took off over two years later. Pay attention to what's trending in your niche and see how you can put your unique spin on it.

One of the most important pieces of advice I can give is to simply post content regularly, even if you're unsure about its quality. I remember feeling hesitant about some of my earlier videos, but I pushed through and posted them anyway. You'd be surprised how much you learn from just getting your content out there. Each video is a building block for your channel's foundation.
