Like many authors, I decided to summarize the year and talk about the results of the development of my channel. The beginning of the year was not the most successful, as the channel fell into pessimism. In the first two months I tried to regain activity, but when I saw no progress, I decided to delete some posts.
In February, I did not remove all content, but only those materials that were mainly related to news topics. I continued publishing articles and later switched to video formats. I worked for another two weeks to create other content, but, unfortunately, the result did not live up to expectations. I wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible and bring the channel out of pessimism.
You can find a lot of information on the Internet about what to do if your channel’s views drop sharply. At first, the articles received from 500 to 3000 reads, but then everything suddenly stopped. There was a decline not only in individual posts, but also in the channel as a whole. Any author will understand that something is clearly wrong.
The first thing I started paying attention to was the indexing of my articles. A similar thing has already happened with my other channel on construction topics: monetization immediately disappeared, and the articles displayed information that the materials were not indexed. But there was no such problem with this channel, the views on all publications simply disappeared.
I contacted the platform's technical support to understand what was happening with my channel. The technical support employee explained that everything was fine with the channel, but recommended focusing on unique content and avoiding news topics. I didn't immediately understand what they were talking about, but after a second reading of the answer, it became clear that too much news exposure can actually lead to pessimism.
After deleting all the news publications, I continued to publish new content for another week, but there was no result, and I realized that the channel was really under pessimization. Soon I came across an article in which the author told how he changed the theme of the channel and achieved success.
When it became clear to me that in order to change the topic, I needed to completely delete all content, I decided to erase all materials from the channel. At that time, I had more than 500 publications, including text and video. It was not an easy decision, but I decided to start with a clean slate. Within an hour, I had deleted all the content and started working on new content.
Of course, I didn't post content every day, as starting from scratch is never easy. However, knowing what needed to be done, I understood that in a couple of months I could catch up and even overtake my competitors. For a long time I doubted the correctness of my choice, but my efforts began to bear fruit.
For six months, my channel could not cross the 500 subscriber mark, but there were small spikes, and I managed to reach 523 subscribers. Many authors in my place would simply quit the channel and start from scratch, but I continued to work. I even created a second channel and tried to move the articles there, but they immediately ended up in the warning section.
I tried to bypass the algorithms and rewrite old materials, but this did not help, and the channel was blocked. I realized that moving articles from one channel to another is a bad idea, even if they have been revised. This may have worked before, but not anymore. I ended up losing the new channel, but suddenly the activity on the old channel increased.
The articles began to gain more readers, and the posts also became popular. This gave me hope that everything was not in vain. The channel started getting recommended in my feed again, and after five months of hard work, I finally saw results. Subscribers began to grow, and by the end of the year I managed to collect 400 subscribers. Now their number continues to increase.
This year did not bring me significant profit, but the channel managed to revive and emerge from pessimism. Next year I plan to focus on articles and posts, since video formats, both horizontal and vertical, do not get enough views. Videos require a lot of effort, and their views leave much to be desired - only 50-100 on a video with 2-3 thousand impressions.
The platform is not very generous with impressions to authors, so it is important to focus on those materials that the algorithms recommend. My channel has almost doubled its audience in a year, and I hope to cross the 1000 subscriber mark next year. The main thing is to create engaging content and not focus on the number of subscribers. They are important, but first of all, you need to focus on quality content to attract the attention of your audience and earn money.
