This video documents my honest, unfiltered journey of starting a YouTube Shorts channel from scratch, with zero audience, no social media background, and no idea what I was doing at the start. I went all in for 30 days straight, and by the end, I somehow hit 1.2 million views. This is the realistic side of YouTube growth — no secret hacks, no fake guru energy. Just daily uploads, lots of trial and error, and learning as I went. I break down my analytics, talk about what worked (and didn’t), how my CTR and retention changed, and what you can actually expect in your first month on YouTube Shorts in 2025. Whether you're trying to build a faceless channel, launch your first content series, or just see if YouTube Shorts is still worth it — this video gives you a full picture of the experience as a beginner. This is part of a bigger challenge where I try to go from -£3,000 in debt to £1,000,000 by testing different online ventures. I document everything in my "Negative 3000" series — so feel free to check that out too. If you're watching this while eating, procrastinating, or considering starting your own journey — this one's for you. I appreciate every single second you give to this vid 🫶 Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:36 Day 1-7 3:49 Day 10 9:14 Day 12 16:18 Day 17 20:13 Day 23 26:59 Day 24 28:35 Results 32:03 Outro #YouTubeShortsChallenge #From0ToMillionViews #RealisticYouTubeJourney #GrowWithShorts #YouTubeForBeginners #FacelessChannelChallenge #ShortsStrategy2025 #YouTubeAnalytics #DailyUploads #ContentCreatorRealTalk #BeginnerYoutuber #HowToGrowOnYouTube #30DayChallenge #YouTubeExperiment #MillionViewShorts #YouTubeVlogSeries #StartFromZero #SmallYouTuberJourney #ShortsGrowthStrategy #OnlineHustle
