There can never be enough places online (or off) for people to find calm, sensible, achievable advice about all the little blocks we all encounter. This is one of those outposts and I hope more people find their way here.

I love the timer trick. It’s amazing how much I can actually get done in 5 min if I’m trying to beat the clock

Keep up the great work! I've heard we should be shooting in 4k also but the FPS should be 24. I think I'll tinker with some test footage like you did and see what I like better.

Thanks for this. I have a BIG change coming next week so this is helpful

I’m really enjoying watching your journey. And I could see a big difference with the camera settings change. Who knew?

Progress, progress, Hi kim, The camera tips are great, need to improve on my filming but there's so much to learn and do that I am focusing on consistency and better planning to work less. We'll get there xxx💚

Solidarity!

Thanks for passing along goodies from IG! I am not on IG. ADHD brain gets too overwhelmed so it’s one platform at a time for me! This was a good one and I appreciate it. ❤

"Be okay with not being okay", thank you, that's exactly what I needed to hear today❤

I'm just now starting to focus on growing my TH-cam Channel too. I mostly do podcasts so this is a stretch goal for me. I've subbed and we don't know each other - so +1 to you!!! <3 All the best to you and I'll be checking in on your channel as I'm spending more time on TH-cam than any other platform. Oh, and one last thing. I'm on the struggle bus too in regards to the "imposter syndrome". At this point though, I'm just like . . . F*CK IT! I'm doing this. To hell with the voices in my head. Hope you get there too!!! -B

HI there! Interesting topic and ideas. Quick question…did you intend to have no title on this video? A title would help it get found by viewers who are not yet subscribed. 😊. Thanks for talking about this!

Awesome job, I subscribed!!! Love your ideas and YES, I never realized how much I say ‘so’😂😂😂 Started my channel this week at 54-years-young and I just love how all of us 50+ are starting TH-cam, sharing our voice, and courageously stepping into a creative space that nourishes us!!!

I love your honesty in these videos. Talking about the things we all keep quiet is really important right now.

Kim, this is a winning video and you have a winning channel. I predict you will have thousands of subs within the next 6 months if you keep going. The world is waiting and wants to hear your voice.

Loving the content, stay connected! New supporter friend here. fifth done thumbs up

The lighting looks great!

Hey lovely. I posted a video about 4 years ago out of pure curiosity. When I checked back in January this year 😆I had got 52 subscribers which I couldn't believe. It was the push I needed to crack on and make some more videos. I only post every week or two - I will not make videos if I have nothing interesting to share - but I hit 1000 subscribers on 3rd May which was just so exciting - and I got monetized on 19th June. It's absolutely pennies and I've not had my first payment yet because the threshold is £60 - but I am so honoured and thrilled to have reached this point and to have started to build a community of lovely people to share my life with. What I'm trying to say is - keep being your lovely authentic self and your audience will find you. Definitely use the Community tab on your channel to share updates and have conversations with your followers. Make your videos because it's what you enjoy, not because you think it's what people want to see. I think you lose your identity if you just do what you think people want and it stops being fun. I'm looking forward to following your journey x

Inspiring! I started my channel and haven’t set aside the time to continue, so now I need to re-learn everything it feels like. Good ideas on what to work on. Thanks

Welcome to TH-cam :)

The last one, #6 is my favourite x

Totally agree, I always say this I would not want to turn the time back, I am 51 today. Thank you for sharing this xxx

I have subscribed 😄

Subscribed! And thanks for subscribing to mine… just keep being real. You’re doing great. And they tell us that our first few videos will be our worst, me too, but that just means we’re getting better!

You should also add a community page for more interaction with your audience.

Great strategy: less watching, more creating. Your unfair advantage is your great voice and your gaze into the camera. Continue your 31 day challenge.

Success is the best revenge

That concept is a big focus in education. Seems related to growth mindset

Woohoo!! You are a badass my friend. And thanks for the shout out

I experienced this when I came out as a lesbian and left Christianity. There’s one friend I was really close to. I never even told her about my personal changes. But the last time we had lunch I think we could just both tell we were no longer a fit. Then we maybe texted a few times and now haven’t communicated for probably 2 years

Hi Kim, I'm glad you created your channel. You have a lot to offer and will do very well. I'm glad you are using this part of your life to concentrate on yourself. Congratulations on your decision to return to school. Your choice to be in mental health will help a lot of people. Should you get discouraged with your school challenges, take inspiration from Virginia Hislop. She got her master's degree this year. She is also 105 years old; relative to her, you are a youngster. Looking forward to more of your content.

I lost a large portion of my friend group when I divorced my ex (malignant narcissist). A friend of mine who is a grief counselor called it “divorce-itis “. They were afraid of me because I was brave enough to call out the crap that was going onand make a change…they were fearful that if continued to honor our friendships, that I would convince them to divorce too. Of those 4 couples…3 of them split up about a decade after I did.

I had the same kind of marriage. It’s validating just to hear someone else mention this. ❤

You’re fun! I’m enjoying you allowing yourself to be authentic and not cutting out your personality. ❤😊

I’m so glad your channel came up in my feed! I’ve been supporting new creators in the 50+ Gen X group since I found @silverandsolo (Jen’s) channel back in March. Since finding her channel, I began a monetization challenge for myself and grew from 57 to almost 550 subs! I’ve been enjoying creating my own space here and the community that’s become a part of my life! So that said…I’m a new subscriber of yours and here to support you! I’m excited for you and happy that you’re here with us older creators! ❤😊. ~Jen.

I love this video. I can be really hard on myself and this was a good reminder of all I’ve gained even as I’ve made choices that don’t look so great in hindsight. Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful content. You really make me think

I’m don’t think it’s too niche. There are a lot of 50+ people out there. And I highly doubt that they all have their lives perfectly together

I can get so frustrated with myself for not making bigger strides on projects and dreams. But this is a good reminder that there’s a reason that’s hard when you’re just trying to pay the rent

this was super helpful. thank you!

I love the less edited videos. I get really distracted when there are tons of cuts. Makes the whole thing jumpy. And you re funny. Totally cracking me up. And no, I didn’t hear any difference with the mic either. Thanks for not putting it too close to your face. I hate when I can hear mouth noises on videos😂

I was so excited to see another one of your videos come up on my feed! I’ve gotten much better about not being overtly mean to myself. But now I’m starting to notice that I often have an underlying attitude of self-judgement without even noticing. It’s a process I guess.

look at my mommy go!! ❤ proud of you

I can so relate. Thank you for sharing your journey. And for not talking about makeup and weight loss 😂

so proud of you!

So proud of you!!

Omg. I love this. Yes, there are others of us out here too.
