Hit first 100 YouTube Subscribers AMA 😁

On the past 19th of January, I launched my YouTube Channel.

After going back and forward with the content I was making, I finally hit 100 subscribers, posting an average of 1 video per week.

It took me exactly 61 days to reach the 100 subs. mark, something that according to VidiQ is pretty good.

I've started to make content about Stoicism but quickly changed it to Consulting.

Since I'm a full-time Consultant at Deloitte, I've started to make content about all things Consultancy for eg. what to expect from a Big Four, how's the career structured, etc.

My main acquisition channel has been LinkedIn where I have +/-2.000 connections and have been reaching an average of 4k connections per post.

All my videos are in Portuguese (Portugal) what means it is a very small potential 'market'.

Some metrics:

• Total views: 3.412 [above average for 10 videos in 61 days]
• Subscribers (as of today): 103 [above average for 10 videos in 61 days]
• Percentual Subs. per Total Views = 3% [above average of 1%]
• Percentual Subs. per Views per Video = 1% [average]
• Average Growth Rate = 6% [average]
• Average Views per Video = 266 [above average]
• Average Video length = 6:34' [N.A.]
• Average percentual viewed = 38% [under average]
• Average CTR = 12% [above average]

At this pace, I'll be crossing the 1k Subscribers chasm on the 54th Video.

My gear/setup:

• Canon EOS M50 [bought at 500€]
• Kit Lens 15-45mm [included with camera]
• Neweer 3 Pack Led Lights [bought in sales 200€]
• Velbon Ex-Macro [50€]
• Rode Videomicro [50€]
• Adobe Creative Cloud [15$/month]
• My room is my studio [0€]
• Egg boxes to soundproof [0€]

Recently I've launched my personal blog but had no time yet to write there.

Next steps:

• increase to 2 videos/week [in Portuguese]
• start writing in my blog (at least twice a month) [in English]
• launch a newsletter [in English]
• launch a second YouTube channel [in English]
