How TubeSpanner's Achievements Feature Tracks Your YouTube Growth

Heading

"Why is my video not getting as many views as this channel?"

YouTube is big, and its influence is wide. So it's not a surprise that you might've started your channel because you've been inspired by another creator.

But this can lead you down to one of the biggest pitfalls for new creators. Comparison can become the death of passion.

It sets impossible standards for your channel and makes your achievements feel insignificant when compared to channels getting thousands or millions of views.

Worst of all, you're making a disservice to the (real) people who decided to click on your video and watch. Don't dismiss them as just numbers. These are people with limited time on their hand, and they chose to watch and subscribe to you.

For example, if you're a cooking channel that's been comparing yourself to one of the biggest cooking channel... you might've gotten 1,000 views on your video (which is huge!), but you're going to wonder why you didn't get more consider that Nick DiGiovanni often gets over 1M views.

Did you know?

At 1,000 subscribers, you are considered the top 10%. At 10,000, you're in the top 5%. Even at 100 subs, you're already 37% ahead of all channels. So don't cut yourself short once you hit that big 100. There are MILLIONS of channels out there, and most of them haven't even hit 1,000 subs.

Stop looking at the growth of others, and focus on yourself.

When you head into YouTube Studio and look at your analytics, YouTube isn't showing your growth compared to other channels. It's all based purely on your data.

So don't make the extra step and glance at other channel's growth.

Keep an eye on what YouTube is telling you.

Are you doing better than the last 28 days? (Green upward arrow)
Are you doing worse? (Grey downward arrow)
Or are you hitting the same numbers? (Green check)

This is the biggest indicator of your growth.

Note

Title

Let's be honest here...

If you have access to a channel's analytics (the data deep within YT Studio and not ones out publicly), you can learn a lot about why that channel's doing great. But only if you can read and understand the data. Unfortunately, most of us won't have that access.

Celebrate your growth, no matter how small!

YouTube is a marathon, not a sprint. You've got to celebrate every minute, every hour of your jog to keep yourself motivated.

You can do this easily with TubeSpanner Achievements. By signing up and installing the TubeSpanner extension, you'll be getting significant milestones across your channel. These include views, subscribers, comments, uploads, and other hidden achievements that you won't get until you reach them.

You can find Achievements on your TubeSpanner dashboard or on the TubeSpanner browser extension. When you unlock your milestone, you can download and share your visual asset. Whether you're a light or dark mode user, TubeSpanner's got both!
