ONE recommended video on end screen! So obvious and yet... 😁 I also noticed how much my watch time has increased recently with longer videos which I just naturally started making as I got looser with my scripting.. so I'm very glad you pointed that out as an actual strategy 😊
Putting myself on video for the first time. I overthank so much and was so nervous wanting to be perfect it took days for me to finally be able to make something that was fine for youtube. Overthinking sucks! Don't do that!
Thanks Vanessa. Another helpful video. I think my 'favourite' mistake from this list is giving up too soon. Learning to accept delayed gratification is key when it comes to building an audience (and it applies for many other things in life). Would you stop watering your new apple tree in the first 3 months because it hasn't grown fruits yet? Of course not! Keep watering your channel 😎🍎
I love that apple analogy hahah, but yes most people today expect short term gratification because of the society we live in. If you can overcome that you're wayyyy ahead already. Although I will say, small "quick wins" really do keep you in momentum. For example my channel is still "small" but I stay motivated when I sell my $97 product or get an affiliate sign up
My mum always watches my videos and leaves them playing to help my channel. I love to watch your videos on a Sunday afternoon, it gives me a great mindset for the week
Love the tip about batching first few videos! I actually decided to launch my channel with 5 full videos and I feel like that helped me gain momentum so much faster than some other new channels. It also really made sure I was committed to this before actually launching.
This is such great advice. I did 2, but 5 would have been amazing. My challenge was to be ok with being on camera. I wasn't sure I will be able to overcome the shyness.
@@atriciadoyle Good for you! I feel like it's the sole reason I was able to gain some momentum fast. When people came across my first video they already had 4 more to binge watch.
That's very smart of you, I'm sure that prompted people to subscribe because you already had your "content library" up and going. Way to go! Your channel looks great, keep it up💖
I have been watching and taking your advice for quite some time. You actually map out the most critical part of being new RU-vidr and that is being consistency 🙂👍
I’m growing my YT channel to help 20-somethings learn how to LOVE THEIR LIVES no matter what kind of challenges they might be facing. Thanks for the great advice!!!😄
I write them all down, and now I'm trying to make my first RU-vid video. Now that I'm used to reels, I can move on to more extensive videos. Thanks for sharing those recommendations.
Very helpful video, Vanessa! I've definitely been making the mistake of comparing myself to more established RU-vidrs. It's easy for me to create unrealistic expectations for myself which causes a lot of unnecessary stress and frustration. I'm trying to find the balance between "doing my best" and "not overthinking everything". One video at a time...
Yes, balance those two one video at a time and don't be too hard on yourself. The more you create videos, the better and more chances for you to improve! You got this!
You're off to an amazing start so far! You get great viewership and you have solid branding 👌🏽 You should be very proud of yourself, you're channel is wayyyy better than most beginners whose channel I check out. Best wishes and luck to you 💖 You got a new subscriber by the way 😉
Really great points. All of them. I didn't batch videos like I wanted to at first, but I keep myself on a publication schedule that I can sustain and still keep sanity and have a life..
@@VanessaLau thanks! Just published my 6th video. Browse Features are already most of my views. I'm on a 2-3 weeks schedule. My videos take a lot of time to write, produce and edit. Plus I script every word like you said in a different video that you used to do. But I'm getting more efficient each video and will definitely use some of your tips here.
Thank you, Vanessa!!! I have been overthinking over creating the best videos for over a month now and I have not started because I wanted my videos to be perfect! Thanks to this, I will get started tomorrow! Thanks, Vanessa!♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is one the most important and time saving videos on the topic of RU-vid channel (specially for beginners) I have ever seen. Truly extraordinary. 👏👏👏 The tip about the link to Instagram and the the tip about different types of experts were extra helpful. Thank you! 🙏
18:24 is my favourite tip! I knew that this was happening when I share to Instagram but I didn't know there was anything I can do about it! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the specific tips and I like the 3 months and checking the analytics. I find your tips realistic and its like you are talking to a person in front of you.
This by far best video I have ever seen when comes to Making your RU-vid channel work. Very informative, accurate to the point and very pleasant too. Thank you Vanessa for you help. Have a great day everyone 🌅
As a new RU-vidr I don’t think of a specific niche yet! My next video is going to be about the Assassin’s Creed games. The one after a musical project I’m working on. Great tips, you are so pro 😎 Have you made a video about how tags work?
Unrelated, but just wanna say I adore your black cat on the couch in the background lol. So cute! Okay back to focusing... thanks for the good info! Especially the link info for me to share my channel
Thank you so much, Vanessa 🥰 I'm not exactly a beginner anymore (although I'm still very beginner level in a lot of ways) but your videos are always so helpful and on point 😭💕 I can't help but watch everything you post 😂💗💗
Thank you for such great engaging content! I launched my site 12 years ago with one video and then got discouraged! Tried resurrecting it but couldn’t find the right niche or theme! Keep up the great work…3rd video I watched today!
Oh wow your channel is so so so good. Overthinking is my biggest issue. I constantly think about every little piece of my channel and if a video isn't perfect I feel like I'm gonna lose subs. It's definitely a struggle.
Points on watch time are valid, with the one caveat being that new youtube creators are limited in relation to the amount of time that their initial videos can be. I would focus on creating batches of videos that are related then creating a playlist for each batch so that people can then go from Part 1 - 5 in a series format... Of course you will have some drop off across videos but that is a potential fix.
Tuh! Friends and family often don’t support you. Sad but true. I told them ALL those things (don’t even have to watch- just turn it on and go about your business) and they just don’t support.
Wow! 😃 Why haven't I paid attention to you and your channel before? This is such a great video with clear messaging! Thank you so much for sharing this 😊
I love the recent video series you have been producing Vanessa. Its like a whole new channel. So good! 😀I have been watching your videos for years, and I have learned a lot from you in areas of equipment, scripting, etc for my channel. I have hit a bit of intertia on my RU-vid journey and your RU-vid rejuvenation has inspired me to retool and keep moving. Thanks!
Thank you for these tips, I'm defienetly going to try and follow these in the future, hopefully my channel will grow and i get to emtertain people from all over the world! 🙏🏼
I have recently found your channel and am SO SAD that I didn’t find it sooner. I am still a pretty new RU-vidr and find all of your tips and suggestions incredibly accurate and SUPER helpful. Thanks for making such great content.
Great advices but personally, i hate when youtubers chop up their form vids to shorts, i wish they could skip shorts all together & i stopped making them too
Thank you so much Vanessa. The linktw was the most helpful tip to me as I was not aware of that. Also I have checked and under my videos I don’t have the create a short button so that I can create shorts out of my long videos. Very strange. Only some videos have it and most don’t. Have a great day. 🤗
Have you made a video on the email topic yet? What is the best platform to set up the form you mentioned without developing a separate website? Would you recommend taking one social account at a time until we feel confident to outsource it, or do several steps on multiple platforms at the same time? When did you diversify?
One of the biggest reason why you did so well is that you are a pretty girl who is young and articulate. 3 of 4 characteristics that most of us do not possess 😅
I think the hardest thing for me is picking one niche ! I really believe it has held me back since I’ve been on RU-vid since 2017 and my channel hasn’t grew as much as it probably could if I had just one niche.
@Indie vlogger That's what I do now the views, likes and subscribers don't get to me much these days. I just enjoy helping and making content around all the things I love.
This is soooo good! Already implemented some of the strategies and am going to commit to stop making many of the mistakes I was making that you've officially helped me to overcome from this very informative video! So much appreciated. Went ahead and purchased the notion script prompts too to add to the rest of my VL coaching/training collection! 🙌🏽❤
I hope you don't mind if I make a suggestion for your channel. I would decrease the amount of text in some of your thumbnails, for example it's hard to read the "why you don't need more followers" video on mobile. The yellow is hard to read against the white and it appears very small on the phone. Just letting you know because I wouldn't want you to lose out on getting clicks on your videos. I wish you a ton of success 💖
My analytics probably would just show people leaving my video after three seconds. I don't bother checking...it would be better to just make better videos. Fun video, tHanks for posting.
Wow!! I actually watched 34:09 mins of your full video ... some very powerful lesson how to hook your audience with not just a power pack information but also editing; the pace of your speech .. lot of things going on in this video .. i would definitely do a study on understanding exactly what and why I watched the full video coz some of the information u share are not new .. but yet I felt that I was hearing it for the first time.. Thank you .. some very helpful tips especially the linktwin information..I totally agree with your intro information .. I am experimenting with directly starting the video and cutting out the extra fluff...
There is just so much value packed in this video Vanessa. Thank you again, for all you share. I will refer anyone who is starting a RU-vid channel to this video!
