You Need To Start A YouTube Channel in 2022. (Here's Why) 

My biggest advice to anyone trying to grow is to be consistent, know your audience & be 100% your true authentic self.

RU-vid is better than IG because of: 1. Discoverability of videos 2. Content can be repurposed 3. Deeper connection with the community

I love how you got straight to the point, didn't skip a second of the video.

Don't be afraid to be creative AND if you REALLY want to stand out. Copy a working system and find ways to improve it. The more different you are, the more people will be attracted to your content! Hope this helps!

Hi Vanessa! I'm a physician/ business owner and have learned so much from your videos! I have a RU-vid channel as well.... growing thanks to a lot of the tips I've learned from you. You're amazing!

This is exactly why I recommited to my RU-vid channel. I'm in business for the long run, not for the vanity metrics. 🙌🏽

Yay I’m here today. So grateful for this.

Before I started my RU-vid channel I would've never have thought that I would want to be a RU-vidr. I never had any social media before then and in my first 3.5 years I've learnt so much. My younger self would be so proud 🥰 Thank you for sharing these tips! 👍

WOW what you said at the :20 mark was something I NEVER thought of which is why youtube is so much ahead of the curve

Yes, so true about credibility! 100k on RU-vid is like 1M on tiktok 🤩

This was a FANTASTIC video...agree with everything 10000%!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Few years ago, I thought RU-vid was saturated and that there were no chance to grow my channel. But recently, I found so many new RU-vidrs that started during the pandemic and 2 years fast forward grow so big. I started to take my channel more seriously two months ago and started posted more consistently. Although I am far from being successful, I am still very happy doing what I love which is sharing, filming and editing. Hope my channel will grow big one day and to inspire people 🥺💕

I spent years posting consistently and trying to grow on IG but I should have been giving that energy to evergreen content on RU-vid. I just started but I’m excited for this journey and helping people feel happier and fitter in their bodies. Thanks Vanessa.

I just started my RU-vid channel and all my friends and family members don’t support me and they say I will not succeed. I don’t have enough subscribers and so worry about that. They are so happy to see if I gain nothing from RU-vid as they think I am giving rubbish to audience. Thank you for your guidelines. I will never give up.

I just started my youtube channel and I watched a lot your videos to get the courage to get started.

Hi Vanessa. I did my biggest challenge on the social media platform by starting on RU-vid Channel. I really don't feel comfortable on the camera but I've pushed myself doing the impossibles. I want to improve and scale up my potential every single day.

I never thought I will be a RU-vidr But then I realize ,I can still do what I love best ,which is research and teaching. I am glad I started and I am never giving up. Remain Bless Peace

The best videos are the one's that don't require a script or edits. 😉

I finally started my RU-vid channel. I just have to be consistent and patient. But yeah. I'm here. So helpful this video. 👍

I Agree 💯, Consistency is key . Start a Channel y'all!

I’ve never heard someone speak to the career benefits that starting a RU-vid channel can have particularly with improving public speaking and being comfortable on camera - great point.

Thank you so much Vanessa. You are one of the channels I watched when I was just starting! I'm growing my channel big. You are right! We can improve past videos on youtube. It's always trial and error. But I always pay attention to audience retention which determines how my videos can get more views! Everything was spot on here. I paid off my car last year and I'm on track to pay off my rental property....thanks to RU-vid!

I love you are talking about this today. I started my channel after watching your old video of Quitting a 9 to 5 I knew I wanted something of mine, even though I still don't dare to quit my job yet. So I started my channel but the growth has been slow over time, and I have implemented some strategies people shared on Growing a RU-vid channel. Still nada But I am glad you shared this, it has given me more fuel to keep pushing.

Always helpful advice Vanessa! After three years my channel is slowly growing. I find one of the most important things is never giving up as hard as the journey may be sometimes.

Started my vlog journey three weeks ago! Been tweaking videos according to analytics and been loving results.

How can I like this video more than 20times? Thank you for this value Vanessa. This video is the confirmation I have been hoping for.

Honestly one of the most helpful social media based videos I've seen in the last 5 years

Thanks Vanessa. I've started my own channel. I can tell you that RU-vid is not easy, but I know it is worth it!

I've really been pondering 😭 thank you for this!

No hablo inglés pero activo los subtitulos 😉 Muchas gracias eres una gran inspiración para mí, aprendo mucho con tus videos todo tu contenido esta cargado de valor 😘😘😘

Your way of giving information is characterized by shortness and not wasting time and this is something I appreciate

This was so inspirational as small RU-vidrs build their channels, thanks

I'm new to RU-vid and I'm enjoying content creation so far! I'm a passionate artist and I love what I do, so I hope I could influence others with my creations! It's not easy to grow your channel but patience and progress are the keys to success 🙏

This was all I needed to finally commit to this. I want to ditch all other social media and just focus on YT truly

This was so motivating as a small newer creator. I loved when you mentioned it’s not easy, but worth it. Thank you for sharing 🙌🏽

One of the best youtube advice I got was "As a new youtuber, try your best to give real value in what ever niche u choose... It may be difficult, but twill be worth it "

I've just recently started my RU-vid channel, and am trying to learn as much as I can to grow it, thank you so much for sharing this

It is often very interesting to listen to you. Thank you for your work !

This was so encouraging as a small RU-vidr trying to build their channel. Thank you so much, Vanessa!

I come from a Country (Uganda) whose 90% population don't watch RU-vid mainly because of the expensive data packages and the mentality that RU-vid chews so much data... but I'm grateful i began my RU-vid Channel and hopeful for the best in future. Thanks for this video 🙏🏿

I just started my youtube channel and although it's been lowkey a lot, I have learned a lot and noticed that consistency is truly key! and more experience comes with improvement 😌

All well said. I agree it's hard at the beginning but why not try and see where it leads. Thanks for sharing Vanessa.

If you are reading this, know that sometimes you have to go through darkness to get to the light.... So worry no more for the lord is with you. Amen

You are our 911, thank you for all you do. Appreciated. I have gathered your tips, I'm saving to buy tools to upgrade my channel. Thanks once more.

I am a new youtuber and I started at the beginning of 2022, and let me tell you something Vanessa, you helped me a looottt and made me more excited to be a real youtuber! thank you so much for being an amazing person ❤❤

I've been on and off for YT for a year and I have had so much fun, especially being able to see my own growth as a creative. It is also super easy to get discouraged but I found a lot of motivation from your videos :) Sending love!

Thank you for actually providing valuable information! 💕 I’m just starting and learning and don’t know how many clickbait vids I’ve clicked on in an effort to glean more insight on how it all works. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I feel like as a creative I struggle with RU-vid more then any other platform however it gives me the greatest amount of reward !! The issue I have though is I don’t understand all of the metrics and data that RU-vid gives us So that’s something I have to learn more about

This video is gold. Quick and precise, great job explaining everything, thank you!!

Lots of great advice here! I never thought about how by doing RU-vid I become more confident in public speaking, very interesting.

I just started my youtube channel and I was surprised with how different it is then other platforms. You were right when you said it isn't easy. I am trying to learn as much as I can to help me grow. Thanks so much for sharing I am so excited to see where my youtube journey goes!

Needed this today. Thank you, Vanessa!

It's so stressful! You truly find out who your true friends are.

I really need to get started on my channel. Tried to start it up last year, but life got in the way. Just got to get a routine figured out.

I agree 100%! Just recently started being consistent with one video per week. Goal... Keep this up!! And be patient 😊

Consistency is the key and RU-vid is best platform, it doesn't matter you're starting your channel early or late, it will boost your good content no matter what ❤️ RU-vid is best ❤️

I love creating content here on RU-vid. The most rewarding part is connecting with and helping people who I might not have ever came in contact with if I didn't have an active RU-vid channel.

Yeah, your new RU-vid thumbnails are pretty great! RU-vid re-recommended most of the ones you changed on your older videos.

Thank you Vanessa!! this video is very insightful !!!

So powerful, consistency helps, let's grow together.

Found this video so helpful! I’ve been posting on RU-vid for 2 years with slow growth but I am just even more determined to be successful on this platform now - thank you Vanessa 🙌🏻

I totally agree with you ~ i started my channel in less than a year but with consistency it’s definitely paying off 😍 thank you for the great content

This is really helpful and I totally agree RU-vid is the way even though it is a lot of work

I love videos that help creators! It’s refreshing to see others helping others 💖

Great video Vanessa! I like the point you made about RU-vid being an evergreen machine. I still get views from videos that I posted three years ago

That’s it. IM DOING IT! I found my niche, I’m scared to put myself out there but I’m ready. Buying my ring light Thursday and will be using my phone at first

Been a follower of you for years i remember when i took your ig tips still subscribed to your newsletter now I'm here with you talking about youtube and I'm trying to build my youtube channel

I am so DONE with spending hours working and then instagram deciding not to show it. Really excited to make the switch to this platform. I already made my RU-vid account and will be making videos soon and I AM SO EXCITED!! Thank you for your videos!

Thank you very much for this video Vanessa. Very informative and affirmative presentation. New Subscriber 🤜🤛💯 Have A Great day 🌅

Yessss, love this! I just started my RU-vid (after growing my IG to well over 115k), and absolutely love the potential this channel has in regards to growing a true community ❤️ Thanks for reaffirming my belief in putting in the work here 🙏🏼

I would give up, you helped me stay. We're gonna reach the success! 🚀 Thank you so much!

Finally a video that is clear, straight to the point and I don’t have to skip through! Thank you!!

Helpful video I have used the RU-vid app for many years and even uploaded videos back in the day but never took it as seriously as I am taking it now. It's been quite the journey and I'm learning a lot of useful things along the way.

Thank you so much for sharing. This is exactly the information I need. I was almost giving up on RU-vid since the growth has been too slow.

As someone who is working on making my own RU-vid platform, this video was so helpful!

I’m still trying my best to monetize my channel and hoping for the best 🌻 Thank you Vanessa for inspiring and sharing knowledge to make our passion possible.

25 seconds into it and I already find something new!!! Such a quality video

Excellent advice. Second time visiting your channel. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day. Fully view video. 👍 🤗

Thank you dear, your videos are always very easy to understand and digest.

I so agree! I tell all my fellow fashion/lifestyle content creator friends that RU-vid is where it is at! I’ve been a blogger/instagrammer since 2013 and have a sizeable audience on IG and always wanted to start a RU-vid but was so scared of putting myself out there like that or the amount of work it would take. I am so glad I got over my fears and did it, I just wish I’d done it sooner…now with Instagram being so crappy I don’t have to worry as much bc I have this audience I’ve built and you’re right, they are so loyal and awesome. It’s a long game but if you’re still on the fence get off it and take the plunge, you won’t regret it! ♥️

It's been a year since I've uploaded a video here in RU-vid and after watching your video it encourage me to keep going .thank you for sharing this, I am looking forward on my RU-vid journey :>

Literally just posted my first video, so now I just have to be patient and wait to see the results, one thing that I have learned is that consistency is key

Your videos are always so informative and helpful for small channels like us! Thanks for doing what you do for us👍🏻 Maybe I’ll see results one day but for now I’m happy to learn from the pros

This video is so on point! I've been watching videos on RU-vid since 2010 and I've seen this platform and its creators grow steadily unlike on any other platform. I started my RU-vid channel in 2017 but stopped posting for all the wrong reasons. I'm back and I'm so happy to see that there is still so much room for growth on this platform. What I particularly like about RU-vid, even if there is a sense of trend, it encourages you to stay true to yourself and develop your community around your own interests.

The way I was 9 seconds in and you had already started giving the info??? I jumped, in a good way! thank you for all the value you give by sharing your knowledge 🥺

So powerful video!Love the energy you put into it! RU-vid has great possibilities if you know how to use them efficiently! Thank you for sharing such helpful content

Yup, 100% agree with you, Vanessa!

You are always appreciated!!!

Love all your videos! Have watched + applied so much in the past month! I am absolutely doubling down on RU-vid, repurposing it, and absolutely agree on authority, making content easier for other channels, and ROI and ripple effects into all areas of your business.

The information in this video is so valuable! Thank you for making this! You explained this so well, geez! haha Well done!

Love that you’ve been making more RU-vid related content recently!!

Thanks Vanessa!!! This was exciting! I have >200K Tik Tok followers and it's soooo interesting seeing the difference in followers and their interactions with content across platforms. I'm working really hard on taking looots of time to figure out my voice on here and being me authentic self, and this video gave me that extra push to keep taking the time and space to navigate that! You're awesome!!!

I’m still learning my who my audience is overall. Thank you this video I appreciate it ❤️

That's right, youtube is amazing and there are lots of people out there who use it from watching to being content creators, because it's proven to pay, thanks for the knowledge, it's very much useful for me, success always

Well said!🙌💖

Appreciate your content and story so much. Would love to see a video on assembling a production team like yours if you do t already have one

Congratulations!! Awesome content video! 👏 I wish you continued massive success! Keep up the great work!👍

Great Info

Nice smooth explanation. Thanks, Vanessa ;) I definitely think of it.
