I started my journey a week ago 😁 I have 19 subscribers! And I already feel so connected. If not now, when? Just do it! This is my motivation to you 💪😀
today you win the internet for using the word "horcruxes" in the context of building businesses. Well played Katie. another reason to love your content. I'm currently just focusing on youtube and a much smaller secondary focus on IG. Trying to build back into a regular posting schedule but not a daily posting schedule. that got to be a little much.
Happy birthday! I absolutely loved this video. You just got a new subscriber. Thank you!! I also just started and was really feeling the same about being more personal on my next video. I would love to hear your thoughts on tags and the importance of reaching new subscribers or not, unless you’ve already done a video.
Your videos have such a nice soothing flow to them. Just re-started my RU-vid journey (hoping to help thousands of people) and have 38 subs after 1 month! Excited to continue but always looking to improve.
Funny I’ve been reflecting on my 21 years as a realtor & constantly think “I’ve not utilized my time efficiently on social media”. Yet when I started in real estate no one was making daily videos. My new analogy is Next play don’t focus on yesterday!
Started a few months ago and really loving the process. Focusing on streamlining my editing so I can post a bit more frequently. Your content is always sooo helpful Katie thank you and happy belated 🎉
Happy birthday. My bean to cup machine is my best friend. Still newish to this but not getting hits or subscribers but still enjoying the learning curve
Happy Birthday Katie! New sub! You’ve been so helpful for me lately with me starting out, and growing my channel! Hope you have an amazing rest of your week!
Happy birthday! While I have a couple of decently successful channels (one on bible study and the other on budgeting) I want to start a channel that would get me clients for my web design or podcast production business (not sure which). I'm not sure what to do, lol!
Some brilliant points. Thank you for some food for thought. I'm new to all this exciting journey, so I'll keep all this in mind. I know I have a lot to learn and I hope I can do better. Just glad I've only got a very short intro Thank you again
Thank you for creating these videos on just starting out and the equipment. I have been wanting to start my channel for years and watching these videos makes it a little bit less scary.
Thank you for the info. It's been a long time coming ( and maybe will never happen 😅) but I'm finally on 770 subscribers after 5 years and 1500 videos, I never tried to get subscribers before and used RU-vid as a storage for my videos i liked to eatch so that I could stream them to my telly. Cant believe now that I've been so slow on the uptake... Hoping that i will hit 1k subs by autumn so I can finally make my first cent from the many thousands of watchhours RU-vid already got out of ny viewers!
Happy birthday Katie! Really appreciate your content, and such a great surprise that you love the content by @citynerd ! Love his dry humour (and the topics of course!) Hope this video gives him some new subscribers as well!🥰
i started 3 channels bc i have different niches and wanted to see what does better. i havent posted to my main channel yet but my goal is to post it on my bday. in a week and a half. 😳 wish me luck! my other channel that i started 2 weeks ago and have put about 10 videos on has 160 views, 14 subs and 52 watch hours. feeling acomplished but so far to go to monitize. 😩🤞🏻
Being a youtuber is my dream since I was 14 years old. I'm so happy that now I can fully enbrace this dream job. I've posted only two videos last year, got a little nervous and stressed, almost quit. But thankfully I'm posting a new video monday, have already recorded four more of them and I'm planning to post seven in July. So excited with my 56 subscribers!!
You advice to post videos that help people to get invested in you as the creator is SO GOOD! I make personal finance videos, so I assumed my viewers just wanted the education/information. But my highest viewed video is also the only one where I talk about my personal experience. Thanks for the reminder and keep it up! 👍
I always love when you post, you drop SO MUCH useful knowledge in an easy-to-understand way that makes RU-vid feel approachable! HBD and thanks for all your hard work! ♥️
Wanted to wait until the video was through before I commented. You're a lifesend, Katie! ♡ I started an authortube channel (focused on writing my books) and I'm so glad you mentioned leaning into Entertainment more than Education 👏🏾 I'm doing YT Shorts and I've already gotten 6 subscribers and 1K total views in about 2 weeks of posting 🥹
Happy Birthday, Katie! 🎉 Thank you for the opportunity to learn from your experience! If I started from scratch on RU-vid, I’d definitely follow these tips. Very helpful video and invaluable advice for new and aspiring creators! 🚀📈
Thank you for this Katie!! Do you have any insight on when videos "blow up" randomly? I understand that views slow down if your subscribers/extended audience don't engage. But I've heard of many people having their videos blow up after months/years and I'm curious as to why. Is it because RU-vid will randomly test the video after a certain amount of time? Thank you! - signed someone who is patiently waiting for a video to blow up lol
Happy birthday, Katie! Thank you for sharing your wisdom. This video had so much! I've been in a publishing slump for a variety of reasons but that is ending. I hear your message loud and clear about consistency. I'm entering a new era!
I'm going to pivot our channel, but it's a low subscriber rate, so hopefully not too bad. My plan is to do some transitional videos. My pivot is from travel full time to buying a home and settling down and more home-based content. I hope to transition why we're moving away from FT Travel to more stationary living. Also Happy birthday!
I love coffee time with Katie. Your coffee chats are the best, most value packed videos ever. All the intangible things you mentions are just exactly what I’m searching for but don’t know quite what to ask.
Awesome video! I really like the point you made about entertainment value versus educational value. I also really like how you talked about adding one income stream at a time. I have a tendency to take on more than I can handle, so that’s a great reminder. We have the subscriber account, but our watch hours are not there yet. I really hope we get monetized soon. We are working on improving the quality of our videos. New subscriber here!
This is so helpful, thank you!! I started off posting vlogs for fun a few months ago and then tried a couple more "searchable" videos on topics that interested me, and it has been so interesting to see the algorithm at work!
I'm a really new RU-vidr (just started posting a few months ago, but only started posting consistently a few weeks ago) and this is really helpful-thanks for sharing ~real~ advice! ☺
I really appreciate this video. Thanks so much for all your suggestions and insights. I am planning my content and getting things ready to start posting to my channel October 1st
Thank so much for the great info . Started my channel and have 9 subscribers. I know I’ll make it and to every upcoming channel don’t give up cos you’ll definitely get results 🎉❤
Thank you for this helpful video. Katie is definitely speaking the truth. My gold nugget take-away from this video---The Monetization part (12:24) is absolutely legit! In my own journey to make money online, it happened in the exact way she listed. Affiliate marketing was how I made my first dollars online by building keyword-focused hubpages. Second, a bought a website that was already making Google adsense money to give me passive income. And third, when I was building my own website and promoting on Instagram, I started getting a few sponsor offers from my posts from people wanting to work with micro-influencers. Now, as I'm starting over on RU-vid with only 15 subscribers, I know I need to work on maintaining a CONSISTENT posting schedule like she recommends (3:05).
Happy Birthday Katie! Was it in June? I'm a June baby as well. As a matter of fact my very first video (still in editing mode) was filmed on my birthday. Wish me luck!!
Happy Birthday! Question about AVD: what happens if someone watches your entire video, but over the course of several days...does that still get counted the same way? Or if they watch it multiple times, or re-watch parts of it over again? Just kind of curious how that works if you have any insights!
happy birthday katie. I saw your skillshare class... You are doing amazing work. I loved it. ❤❤. Keep making more classes especially on RU-vid analytics and how to analyze them for better decision making for channel.❤❤
I’m excited. 🎉 Thanks Katie. Love your tips! Already thinking of some outward/inward content ideas. I became more serious about my content a few months ago. This is very motivating and giving me the extra knowledge I’m looking for. Happy Birthday also!
I have been planning and prepping for two years now! Tomorrow I’m starting my first batch content session to launch my long format videos end of August. 😊 you’ve been so helpful Katie!!
I watched about 2-3 of your videos before this one and this is the one that made me subscribe. I love seeing your personality shine through. And even when you make up words, it’s not cringe because it’s working. It allows us to understand and relate to what you’re saying. I’m so excited to start posting my videos using some of your tips. Keep going Katie and thank you!
Happy belated birthday! I'm so glad I found you 😁 There's a lot I need to learn for my new channel so looking forward to binging on your videos. I didn't realize how things work behind the algorithm and that a 3% CTR is typical🤞
Happy birthday Katie! New subscriber ❤ I have 2 ideas for a YT channel. I am 69 years old and was a nurse in 12 different specialties over 40 years. I have already written my story on my blog and am thinking about telling my story on YT to encourage Christian nurses and those who are considering going into nursing with lessons I learned along the way. My second idea is to start a channel for solo Christian travelers that would be entertaining and educational. I have been to 43 countries now. My big holdup is the editing which is baffling. I have watched lots of videos but it’s still very intimidating. Any suggestions?
Hi Katie, you’re amazing !! I have consumed so much of your content over the years mustering the courage to create my own. I did and I’m having so much fun 🎉🎉 I can’t wait to keep growing
Happy birthday Katie!!! Thanks for such great tips!! I just picked up my channel again for the first time in years! I’m feeling discouraged starting again but these tips are great. I appreciate it! ❤🎂
I just started this gaming channel months ago, and from Hungary it is hard to get out there because of algorithm. I realllllly want to start vlogging about my personal life, goals etc. but tooo afraid. 😂😂
I get discouraged sometimes having such a small audience but I love the flexibility that comes with creating that you mentioned! I need to switch up my inward/outward topics! Great thoughts ❤
I started over this year. I totally agree with you. Starting over is hard. Titles and thumbnails are still a struggle lol. The growth is really slow, but I’m so hopeful for the future. Great video as usual ❤
I always watch yours until the end thanks to the podcast style. My problem is that I cannot pick a niche, I love travel and photography. Travel vlogs clearly do better, trying the travel photography niche but this is not what people want to see. The alternate videos solution you suggested here could be the key 😊
