So since the start of black ops 6 I have set my self a goal to post every day for the next 30days and going to set that target each time I complete it. I am currently 2 days away the 14 day mark and don’t feel like giving up yet! I’ve gained 120 subs in this time and my average views since bo6 dropped is 1393 before this my views would bounce between 100 to 1000+ a video. Am slowly seeing the results just need to keep pushing and improving my content each day! Daily videos ain’t for everyone but am trying to see if the proof is in the pudding of it being good or not for the channel and my mental health too. As it’s not just a post a video challenge it’s a mental challenge to block out any excuses of not posting and trying to do this around a fulltime job and being a fulltime dad to 2 toddlers! Hope your all keeping well btw

Yesterday I made the decision that I am starting a brand new channel. This is a VERY (very) long post but I hope it's provides insight into my thought process and my strategy behind starting from 0. For those of you that don't know, my name is CupppaJoe and I am a Full-Time Call of Duty content creator who has almost 400,000 subscribers (350,000 on my main Call of Duty channel and 50,000 on my 2nd Call of Duty channel). Why am I making a new channel? To expand beyond the Call of Duty space. I started playing Call of Duty (again) 4 years ago and before that I didn't play video games from 2013-2020. Growing up I only played Call of Duty and sports games like Madden and MLB which means there are HUNDREDS of games that I haven't played. - Assassin's Creed - Red Dead Redemption - Halo - Fortnite - The Last of US - Old Call of Duty's - Destiny - Minecraft You name it...I probably haven't played it. What is my WHY? Think back to the first time you played a certain game. You weren't 100% sure what you were doing, just sort of figuring it out. It was fun, it was challenging and at the end when you beat it, you had a certain feeling, whether good or bad. If you go back and play it today, you can NEVER replicate that first time play through experience. But I can... Where do I begin? - First thing, is there a market for this? Quick YouTube search of "First Time Playthroughs" immediately shows that there is. - Then, even before diving too far into what games I want to play, etc. I created the channel. Now you might say "well duh" but for me, that puts it in motion. We now have a channel with zero content. Name - CupppaJoe Plays. Keeping it simple. - Next I came up an initial list of games which was about 25-30. - Let's talk about Style and Tone: my mindset throughout every game/video is going to be "I literally have no idea what I'm doing" because I don't. And I want that to come through the camera. It's something I'm going to remind myself of before I start recording and throughout the video. I want you to feel that NEW experience even though you might've played the game. - Then, I announced it on my main YouTube channel (through a Community Post) and in my Discord. I absolutely wanted to leverage my current audience to gain some initial traction which has given me around 300 subscribers in the first 24 hours. - Finally, and this is ongoing, I want to consume other First Time Playthrough content. I want to see what other people are doing. What are they doing videos on? What games do well? What games didn't do well? How long is the video? How edited is the video? I'm looking for patterns and things that can help guide me to more views.

So with the launch of black ops 6 today I am all ready grinding for the new year of cod! 3 videos recorded today 1 posted with a second one to follow! I’ve set a target to post everyday for the next 30 days so if I don’t please shout at me 😂 Wanting to build a consistent routine and who knows maybe post for 365 days solid 👀 Posting this here so it gives me more reason not to fail! 💪🏻

I'm new here, my name is Dreu, but I also go by HalfMetalFox. I've been Streaming/Creating content for about 6 years now, mainly centered around Extraction Shooters, Update Videos, and Topic pieces as well as Retro Gaming and Travel Vlogs. I am ALWAYS down to collaborate with people, and I look forward to meeting everyone. <3
