The 8-Day Challenge: Gaining 50 YouTube Subscribers
Hi everyone! I’m Lily Jane, and if you’ve been following my journey on Medium, you know that I’m passionate about finding and sharing ways to earn money online. But today, I want to share something a bit different with you—a personal challenge that I’ve set for myself.
A few days ago, I started a YouTube channel called InfobyLily https://youtube.com/@infobylily?si=oBlxQjybnY-kVxDy where I post short videos related to fascinating science facts. So far, I’ve uploaded seven videos that have gathered a total of 159 views and 4 likes. Not a huge number, I know, but I’m just getting started. In the beginning, my videos didn’t get much attention, but slowly, they’re starting to pick up a bit more traction.
I believe that every YouTuber goes through a phase where they’re just waiting for their moment—the time when their content finally begins to reach the right audience. And I know my time will come too.

That’s why, three days ago, I decided to challenge myself: I will gain 50 subscribers in 8 days. This is not just about the numbers; it’s about pushing myself, learning, and seeing what I’m capable of. And I want to share this journey with you.
Right now, I’m starting from zero subscribers, and I haven’t yet uploaded any long videos. But here’s my plan: for the next eight days, I’ll be uploading shorts daily, and I’ll also upload three long videos—one on Sunday, one on Tuesday, and the final one on Thursday.
Initially, I thought about challenging myself to gain 100 subscribers, but I decided to start with a more achievable goal. Still, I’m keeping that larger number in mind because who knows? Maybe I’ll surprise myself.
The challenge starts on Friday, August 23, and ends on Friday, August 30. I’ll keep you all updated with a blog post on Tuesday, August 27, sharing my progress. And on August 30, I’ll post the final results, whether I reach 50 subscribers or more.
I’ll admit, I’m a bit scared. There’s a real chance I might not hit the target, and I know I’ll be disappointed if I don’t. But I’m committed to this, and I won’t give up, no matter what happens. So please, don’t be too hard on me if I don’t quite make it.
I’d love to hear from you in the comments—wish me luck, share your thoughts, or drop some tips on growing my channel. Your support means the world to me!
Let’s see where this journey takes us.
