In this video, I unpack what it’s really like to create a new channel on ‪@RU-vid‬ as a complete beginner. I discuss what’s been fun and what has been challenging during my first month as well as the truth about using paid promotions. Being on youtube is such a ride and there’s some really great content to help you grow. I discuss what I think of other channels including: ‪@ThinkMediaTV‬ ‪@MillieAdrian‬ ‪@vidIQ‬ ‪@RobertBenjaminChannel‬ as well as some helpful apps I use for creating and uploading my content.

Hi Mara, don't be disappointed. You do have some successes. You have gotten your first 10 subs. You are close to getting your first 100 subs. That's 10 times larger than your first 10 or a %1000 growth rate. Your lighting is good, your sound is good, and your background is good. Given your niche, your audience is concentrating strictly on you and your content. Also, you speak well and directly into the lens. You are doing well, so keep going.

We are so alike in thoughts, expectations and strategy.Starting Instagram and RU-vid . Although mine is a children's channel and adult for Instagram. Wishing you all the best ,from one small growing RU-vidr to another. Subscribed.

Congrats on RU-vid channel, it's truly a roller coaster and as you said trial and error. I am a small RU-vid, I feel the pain. I find it hard recording a home as well, because I don;t want to show my family. I have a hard time always being in the creative mindset! New follower

Am a very small channel and stumbled across yours . Subbing and supporting 💪🏻 . Starting anything new is brave and esp from ground zero! Besides putting yourself out there takes a lot of courage! I just began to niche down to the Gen X population . The YT journey does transform you and it doesn’t end! Keep going!

@lifebehindthereels 26 дней назад

@@bizbitch Hi there! This was an awesome comment I swear! Thank you VERY much indeed. IF is a life changer, and I'd say 90% of my "look" and results really comes off of that lifestyle. And congrats on the 300 lb loss! What an amazing feat that is. Fantastic work! Curious to see what types of exercises you were (are) incorporating. Fasted workouts is my guess..

Thanks for your video....very informative! I am not sure how I feel about paid promotions....but thanks for being honest and talking about the steps you have tried! I have heard many other small channels say the same thing with regarding the AVR dropping. Good Luck!

@MARACoach. Месяц назад

You are very welcome, thank you! I'll definitely be uploading more as there's so much to consider. I do think promotion is worth it if you need a confidence boost and also subconsciously I think when you have more subs, viewers are more inclined to follow when they see others have - if that makes sense? Maybe that's just the psychologist in me thinking that!haha Sending you the best for your channel too!

@MasterMicrosoftOffice Месяц назад

Best of luck Mara. You sound like you are doing such a great job of researching what works and what doesn't and you have realistic expectations. I've been focusing on building one of my channels recently and I've found that many of my older videos are getting a lot more traction - my stuff won't date and so I'm finding the older stuff is helping my stats. Stick with it. It's not easy to turn and produce regular content but it is a lot of fun and for those of us who are "teachers at heart" it gives us a great creative outlet!

@MARACoach. Месяц назад

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your support and that’s very encouraging to hear that your older videos are still helping your stats. I’ve heard it’s all about “evergreen” content so well done 👏🏼 😅 also, that couldn’t be more true - even when my videos haven’t had much traction I still feel fulfilled and a bit proud of creating the work. We definitely need to hold onto that especially in moments when you just think this is too slow or too niche! Wishing you the best! 😊

I just subscribed (#53) You have a beautiful authenticity about you. In this era of artificial everything, your style will resonate with many. It is those who share your vibe who will stay with you. Views obtained organically are more likely to produce lasting support than those that are coerced. Please stay in touch.
