Let's bet on my channel growth in 2019 (Patreon)
Content
Here's one more thing I wanted to share with you tonight - and it's actually something that one of my patrons sent to me after watching my New Year's wishes video (to lift me up I suppose - which was very nice) and tell me that my channel's not actually growing slowly.
Now, this guy's running two channels, first one (his main channel) is mostly about comedy and his second channel - this one - is for sharing random thoughts. In that particular video he's discussing his channel's growth mathematically speaking and his conclussion was quite interesting. It seems like his channel kept growing - if I remember correctly - according to a certain algorithm - to the point where he was able to predict how much his channel will grow in the upcoming year! I don't want to repeat what he said, also because I am not even able to :) but here's what's important - by the end of 2015 (if I remember correctly) he only had about 500 subscribers, by the end of 2016 - around 1800. These numbers only kept going up - now he reached 340.000 subscribers (!) and he's predicting he will reach one million by the end of 2019! All according to his algorithm, so based on observing his channel's growth.
And why am I sharing this with you - you might ask? In this very video he did mention that he made a bet with his patrons, they tried to guess how much his channel will grown in the upcoming year. I'd like to do the same. Try and make a guess - a year from now we'll see who was the closest to the actual score. Now, you don't have to be nice just for the sake of it - if you think my channel will only gain one more 1000 share it, I won't be offended :) personally speaking, I'd love to reach more than 10k subs in 2019, but who knows what's going to happen, I can never be certain. Bel here, so one of my dear friends and also a youtuber, knows very well how much effort it takes to keep the channel growing (you guys should check her out by the way, Bel Jay Lemm on youtube). Anyway, I figured this is something interesting we can start this year with. If you want to be mathematical about it - I reached exactly 1k subs a year ago and I currently have 5,665 subscribers.
If you care to guess I'm all ears :)
