HONESTLY! Starting a RU-vid channel is 2024 does feel like it’s too late but it’s NOT! I started my channel and 2023 and looking forward to my growth in 2024 as I become more consistent. The first step is to just start! Don’t talk yourself out of it. Rooting for all new creators. ✨

@agnespaulineking 5 месяцев назад

THIS!! I also just started in 2023 and it's been a very fun journey so far!! So nice to also see other creators like you and I who are at the beginning of our YT journey... We can do it and it's super exciting! ✨

@ladygabrielladadzie 5 месяцев назад

It’s not too late and all! I started in 2019 but I didn’t stay consistent! Since then I’ve kept on going with my channel 💪🏿. I am planning to be more consistent this year! We can do it 🎉

@annebokma4637 5 месяцев назад

Starting after the summer. Too busy before then, but starting to set up a "studio" in my 2m*2m spare room 😊

@MelissaRiceKC 5 месяцев назад

I just looked at your channel! You started a few months ago & look! I’m starting I’m officially starting THIS MONTH! Just subscribed to your channel ❤

@FoodieTownCA 5 месяцев назад

Yes! I started back a decade ago but not seriously, then I dove back in trying it out creating one per month sticking with it. This year I am upping my videos to two times per month and seeing growth - slow but steady! Plus they are a great addition to my website to help round out the content on there.

@RhianWarlow 3 месяца назад

At 59 years old and with no experience whatsoever, I've started a RU-vid channel just for the hell of it. Absolutely no viewers as yet, but can only get better. Thanks for the tips!

Correct! I film everything on my Samsung and it's not even the newest

@lovefoundmefirst 5 месяцев назад

So true! I'm still learning, but that's what I use. I think that using whatever you have when starting out is best. Eventually, I will get a better phone with a better camera, but for now, using what I have will work just fine.

I have Cystic Fibrosis and really want to help others with CF and their families, so I decided to start a RU-vid channel to provide educational, inspirational, and informative videos to bring together our community (due to cross contamination we can't spend time together) together. Your videos have inspired me to just get started and use what I have for equipment and knowledge! I appreciate all the work you put into your videos and I truly hope my videos can be as strong as yours. Happy 2024!

@hlt8770 5 месяцев назад

"Don't edit your personality out of the video," is some of the best advice I've heard in a long time, Katie. I'd be very interested to hear more about how you approach being 'real' in your videos. You're very engaging while also being succinct and professional. Not something easy to achieve, and a skill we could learn from you.

I don’t think it’s too late at all!! I’ve learned so much by sitting back and watching several you tubers. So many are the same type selling or you tubing about the same things. 2024 is the time to change it up and not be like everyone else!! 😍

You are totally correct, I believe it’s definitely not too late at all to start a RU-vid channel for anyone. The audience on RU-vid is very wide and it keeps growing. There’s still people somewhere in the globe that are discovering RU-vid even in 2024.

Hello everyone! ❤ Definitely start your channel, its fun and rewarding and you get to connect with others that enjoy what you create. I'm only small but growing, I love making videos and helping others. It's scary at first but after I made a few videos I was shocked at myself from thinking why was I so stupidly scared to even put 1 video out!?😅😮 Remember.. "EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO OFFER." ❤😊 Now go start, it won't start without YOU ! ! ~x~

@jackdaniel3203 5 месяцев назад

My New Year's resolution was to start a RU-vid channel. I wasn't sure how it was supposed to go I had no idea the only ideas I have are the things that I want to share which are about 5 different subjects. I don't know that if that is doable after watching you. I am much more confident that this can happen that I can actually do this. But I think I'm gonna really need your help. You are amazing, you make me feel like. Yes, I can really do this. We'll stay in touch. Or I shall stay in touch.

Been wanting to be a youtuber since I was a kid(i’m 18) and finally actually started doing it in November of last year! I still struggle with ideas and how to get people interested in watching. I post about it on my instagram and snapchat for friends and people that follow me but I doubt they actually watch them. I also always ask on my instagram story for video ideas and Q+A questions and people never respond, so those are my real issue! So thank you so much for this video!

@edwarddomain6745 2 месяца назад

True story- I watched this video, remembered the EUCOS tripod, and bought one Then I felt guilty I didn’t do it through your affiliate link 😂(I’m an entrepreneur too) Turns out they work well as low budget tripods for cameras too, as long as I set and point them without needing to swivel. I came back here to go through your link this time- and bought two more EUCOS tripods. Your content is great! I’ve had a show on PBS but was always in front of the camera. I’ve been learning a lot from you and other creators on YT. 🙌

@BaintonTV 5 месяцев назад

Katie, nice job...I do like the pacing of your videos, as they don't make me stressed like so many other videos coming from young people nowadays. Yes, it's a hard balance, as you say, to include your personality (your personal style) in the video; but, at a certain point, the creator just has to accept that not everyone will like his or her individual style and presentation. Honestly, the best part of being 65 is that you no longer care about whether people 'accept' you, or whether your tone is not to their liking. P.S. Your music choice underneath the presentation here is spot on, just matches the nice balanced informative (but no manic) conversational tone that you have. Great job, overall, excellent information, thank you!

It is never too late to start something you have the desire for! I start my channel last year, just out of curiosity. There was a whole week of where I would think and think of starting it, so finally one Sunday afternoon I spent couple of hours of trying to shoot a video. It took me quite a while, but I made one. You need that 1st one to start and after that you have to be consistent. Over the summer I stopped of making anything and that was my mistake. Working full time job and now when I just entered the college life, I promised my self and the small audience that I built that I will make 1 video a week. That will keep me on the loop and to be consistent. It is very hard for me to speak. Being a foreign person and trying to say all the words I want sometimes I stop quiet often to think for something, but with practice and checking out other youtubers for suggestions and some friends help I learn how to cut things I don’t need. Overall it is great experience and it just adds a little more knowledge to my skills. So even if I don’t make a big channel it is very refreshing and fun to make a video❤
