This video was really good! I took away the branding tips for thumbnails. I really could get better with that. Thanks Think Media Podcast Team! Another great video!
11:23 that awkward moment when you don’t know whether or not you should continue on or let the other person give their insights on what you just said Lmfao 😂😂😂
Can’t wait! Cathrin MASSIVELY helped me/my wife with our channel (just crossed 80K) & now we’re constructing a sustainable business to support it. Sean & co. you rock! 🙏🏼❤️
I binge watched Cathrin's videos for about 6 months before plucking up the courage to start my own channel and her willingness to be selfless and transparent was a game changer for me. I wish more South African based content creators were this open to sharing because the context does matter sometimes. With no prior social media presence, I have been on RU-vid for almost 5 months now and I'm approaching the 300 subscriber mark that took Cathrin over a year. All because of her willingness to let us learn from her mistakes. ❤
Cathrin Manning you are amazing as a content creator! This is someone who has been smart with growing on you tube. She went from 500 subs to 440K subs within only a few years! Cathrin you rock! I only found her a week ago and have watched some of her videos. She has confidence with shows in her videos and works her you tube multiple revenue streams methodically. (Sean and Heather you are also my heroes!!)
I love both channels but Cathrin has a special place in my heart for how helpful and transparent she is! She’s responsible for so much of my growth on RU-vid !
Love the message about not getting trapped into comparing yourself to the others in your niche, especially the ones who are way ahead of you. It took them time to get where they are. I don't usually watch people in my niche unless I really need to learn something for my day job. That way, as Cahtrin said, I don't accidentally let others influence my style.
Cathrin was my first reference when I was also super insecure to start and keep my own channel. And I'm glad I followed her tips. I freakin' love her content! 💛💪
Imposter syndrome is a real pain. It isn't something you concur once and for all. With every new project in which you level-up, you will catch yourself going back to those toxic thoughts. What helped for me is writing down my achievement on a piece of paper and referring to them when I feel like that. Loved this episode!
Really love the diversity of your contents, and I would like it if you create a RU-vid startup playlist that would really help new youtubers, thanx alot.
Super encouraging to hear that Cathrin only hit 300 subs in first year. 16 months into my channel with a sub gain just over 600. Grateful for each and everyone one of them. Growth feels painfully slow, hearing Cathrin’s growth journey helps to put things into perspective. Thanks, Think!
Catherin is one of my favorite creators. I knew her from her channel had under 10N sub until now. So glad you got her on the show. Keep going 💪 no matter what.
Thanks guys. Such good stuff here! 😎👍 I'm about two weeks away from finally launching my channel, but I still never feel ready, just got to dive in! 🌊😬 Sean, you're looking really tired, stressed, and not at peace, brother. Hope whatever you're dealing with comes right. Praying for you! 🙏💯
Big thank you for this Sean! Loved your collab with Cathrin who I just love as well!! Think media is Heaven sent with your real advise and willingness to share🙏🏽 Need ALL the help I can get in this grind up my mountain! Hope to one day be apart of the very community that inspired me🥰🥰
I love that we have something in common-I hit 300 subs exactly on Dec 31, 2019 (my first year)!! 🥰 There are many people younger (AND older) than her who start and end up quitting soon after because they have ZERO focus; she’s so driven!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you Think team for another excellent, value driven podcast! I've been following Cathrin for around a year and when I saw her invited to your podcast, I knew I had to watch this! And I'm super glad I did!
Thank you for sharing this! I am so grateful to both of you for always sharing your knowledge and encouraging us on our YT journey. I’ve now done 15 videos, and almost 500 subscribers. Hoping I can keep on growing and this can be another form of income on top of my counselling business.
Following and watching Sean for last 4 years on You Tube. Got inspired by him to do youtube my self. No I have started to get some success as well. Its slow but steady. Thnx a lot Sean from India.
I really enjoyed this video. Both of you have inspired me to make my own YT channel. I know that I am still a small channel, but I am learning step by step hoe to become better at it. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I really appreciate this.
Been following Cathrin since she had like 20k subs! So awesome to see where she's at now! Plus, the stuff ya'll say in this video is straight up 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!
This message was for me. I’ve been having issues with time management for a while. It’s hard for me to get out of the rut. I have a to do list that I use daily, but I noticed that I always complete the things that I enjoy doing the most. I spend the majority of my time in those areas. So the task that I don’t like to do, I continue to put it off. Now I’m working on balance. If you would create a video about balancing your time, I would appreciate it.
Good stuff Sean and Cathrin! I actually had the opposite experience on changing names on one of my hobby channels. I switched it to what is kind of my main keyword (had the domain) and off of this Channel. But in the long run, I think my personal/branded channel will have more opportunities to grow than the other one anyway. But its nice to have a place to play, and I don't want to ignore thousands of subscribers and completely abandon them. Anyway, looking forward to part 2. Thanks again!
The Two best channels for RU-vid growth and motivation have Collaborated! This was all of our dreams !! P.s thanks both of you for helping me start my channel this year and giving me all the tips and tricks along the way! 🙏🏽❤️
Sometimes when I watch other videos in my niche it makes me think I can do it better which is why I started in the first place and give me motivation. I dont usually watch those channels though I actually unsubscribed from a bunch the other day
I love her channel. I've learned so much from her. I had slow growth like her in the beginning, but now it's starting to pick up. I'm over 2000 subs now. Thanks Think Media and Cathrin.👍❤🙂
Great info. The content bug story was funny 😆 I would watch different topics from Cathrin if she started doing other topics again. She’s a great speaker and I like that she speaks quickly. Keeps my attention! Lol!
I love Cathrin.... I love the way she was speaking today though.... slower and more natural for her. I do have a question about the negative comments though. I've been advised to interact as much as possible as a small creator and to reply to all comments. Does that include the obviously negative ones? Or just dismiss at the risk of hurting my channel?
Great video. I just started and I'm far from anybody! And I've shared some videos on my fb and I've seen a few people oddly make statements of them just trying to make it through the day and here others are trying to become famous.. ect. Um , yeah I'm not trying to become famous but do want to help others, I do want to be used by God and I would love to be able to have a stay at home income. Like I said, I'm far from anything! But I'm sowing, so hopefully 1 day I can reap. God Bless you both 🙏
Love your vids, but seriously, when do we stop with the "dumb look" faces on our thumbnails? Every sheep is following the same strategy, now the RU-vid home pages look all like clueless people all surprised, shocked, air headed, etc. I understand we need to educate ourselves with YT and it's ever changing platform of what works and what doesn't, but when it's like a blanket effect, in the end it just makes you another number. I hope that makes sense 👍.
Totally agree, Chris. 💯 I've gotten pretty tired of all the weird faces as well. 😅 Lately they just feel more cliche and click-bait-ish to me. 🤷♂️ I'm finally launching my channel within the next two weeks and I've told myself, "no weird faces EVER!!!" Haha 😂
@@classicvwbugs So the channel is called End Time Disciple (ETD.) The slogan is: Helping you live ready for Jesus' return. I'll be doing videos on Eschatology (end time stuff,) Theology (God & Bible stuff,) and Discipleship (following Jesus in today's world stuff.) Or perhaps from a more problem-centric point of view, I want to help people navigate through: (1) weird teachings, bad prophecies, & silly conspiracy theories about end times, (2) infighting, division & ignorance within the church, (3) shallow understandings & poor practical advice about being a genuine disciple of Jesus today. No content up yet but channel is setup here: ru-vid.com/show-UC9nRSASfdsA47tVpK7Ce2jg Have you got a channel? 😎
@@jarednel wow good for you! Yes I have a channel for about 15 years, "Classic VW BuGs" restoring the vintage Volkswagen Beetle. And I have another channel that I put a pause on "Vallones RC Hobby."
@@classicvwbugs What!! 15 years on RU-vid?! Seriously? That's incredible. Wow!!! 😮🙌 You must have been like an early adopter at the beginning. That's crazy man. Well done! ✅ Restoring bugs sounds like too much fun! 😄 What's your channel?
You always talk the same talk about the eddeting and thumbnails. I got vidiis but do not know how to eddit and do thumbnails. Please go more into that more. Thank you. 😊
