So you are curious about someone’s YouTube channel, maybe your favorite creator, maybe a competitor, or even your own.
you are wondering, “How many views do they get? How much money are they making? Are they really growing that fast?” Trust me, I have been there.
The good news? Checking YouTube stats is way easier than you think. Let me walk you through it like we are just chatting over coffee.
1. Use Social Blade (It’s Free and Fun)
This is my go-to. Just head over to socialblade. Type in the name of any public YouTube channel, and it’ll show you:
Subscriber count
Monthly views
Estimated earnings (yes, even that!)
Daily and weekly growth
Honestly, it’s kind of addictive. I once searched a tiny channel with 2K subs, and the next month? They were at 80K. Blew my mind.
2. Want to See Your Own Stats? Use YouTube Studio
If You are checking your own channel, just log in and go to YouTube Studio > Analytics. You’ll see:
Real-time views
Traffic sources
Audience data
Watch time and click-through rate
And trust me, once you start looking, it’s hard to stop. You’ll find out what videos your audience loves and where they start dropping off.
Note: no complicated tools. Just pop into Social Blade for others, or YouTube Studio for yourself. It’s super simple, and honestly? Kind of fun. Go ahead, check out a few channels you might be surprised by what you find.
