It's easy to look at the numbers on your screen and think...

"Those are just numbers."

"That's only 100 views."

"5,000 views isn't that much."

"I only have 10,000 subs."

This is something a lot of creators struggle with. We saw it firsthand at VidSummit.

Creators like Darcy's Business would be shocked by the idea that their audience could fill the Roman Colosseum!

How would you react if the 100 people who are subscribed to your channel suddenly came to your house?

You'd probably panic because 100 people shouldn't be standing at your front door. But you'd feel the difference between "100" as a number and 100 real people.

If you have a hard time visualizing your audience...

👉 Try the YouTube Audience Visualizer.

We built this tool at KDCC to help creators see what those numbers actually mean in the real world.

You can scroll through visual comparisons for common YouTube milestones from 1 subscriber to 10 million.

So the next time you catch yourself thinking:

• "I only gained 5 subscribers this month..."
• "Only 1,000 people watched my videos..."

Use the Visualizer to remind yourself what those numbers really look like.

Because there are real people behind those numbers.
Don't discount your audience... or yourself.
