@@ThisIsVirginiaKerr might not be a technical way but the area that you record your videos is huge. But you did mention this in another video when you brought up doing it in your utility room. I use my car 😝 but it’s comfy and I prefer it. I actually got the car idea from Uneducated Lawyer (something like that). Big TH-camr and his car 🚗 is all he uses.
I'm 4+ years on TH-cam and have not reached 1k subs, and watch time hours yet I’m still here. Keep going, guys, don’t give up! Best wishes to all the small channels out there. Let’s go!
I did everything you said to do. Usually my videos get 10 or so views in the first 24 hours. This time, after doing your suggestions, my video got 100 views in the first 24 hours. Hope to see the video continue to do well over the next few days. Thanks!
Stuck at 160 for a longtime😢 ,i keep posting but nothing happening . Feeling really disheartened 😢 but I am gonna leave this here so that if anyone comments i am reminded that i never gave up
On the first tip: naming the video file. I saw someone talk about this recently and it sounded like nonsense…but I tried it for my last video and all of a sudden, a few days after posting it, I had hundreds more views come in from external source - Google! What the heck!!! I’ve been uploading regularly for YEARS and this is brand new info. I’m trying it again today for my new video so will see what happens.
@@PattyB.Gardening that’s my problem too. I do it from my iPad and have searched TH-cam studio and TH-cam itself and cannot find anywhere that the files are being kept. If someone has an answer to this, that would be fantastic. BTW I’ve decided to subscribe to everyone who post a comment on one of these videos as we are all trying to increase our subscriber count. I would be grateful if some of you could return the favour. There are 154 comments so far on this video so that’s potentially 154 more subscribers for your account. Have a great Sunday, everyone
@@PattyB.Gardening You would have to find out where the video is stored..I have a Google Pixel and there is a Files shortcut and that shows where all you files are stored Similar to Windows Explorer. Once you find it you should be able to rename it.
@@MindofSmoothie have you found that naming the file gets you more impressions? I know I should convert my editing and uploading videos to a computer, but my phone is so easy for me right now. I’m technically challenged. I video on my phone, edit the video clips into a video in iMovie, then save the “movie” to my photos, bc that’s the only option on my phone that TH-cam gives to to upload my video from. I guess I would need to name the video’s file while it’s sitting in my photos and would that “file name” be exported along with the video to TH-cam’s algorithm to put more emphasis on my niche and get more impressions, or would it even make that much of a big difference?
Hello 👋🏻 You're a few years ahead of me with the birthday cakes! I'm 50 and only started my TH-cam project a couple of months ago. I really hope that your channel succeeds. I've just uploaded my latest video using the tips suggested here Good luck 🍀🙏🏻
Thank YOU! I've been working really hard for my channel to get up there and help people at home groom their dogs at home. Your kindness and expertise is really showing up! By the way, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your authenticity.. I truly think that, that's also key to having a great channel. I have a question... I worry about viewer fatigue 🤔.. If I upload every day, my viewers will get notifications, won't it cause them to get rid of the notification from me?.... or even UNSUBCRIBE? Looking forwad to watching more of your videos!. Again, Thank you! ❤
Virginia, I want to thank you for all the good information you so Generously shared with us. I happily subscribed to your channel! I am almost 82 yrs. old, and I do a lot of winging it myself! I am also a Christian, and I share my faith on my channel, actually people are so hungry they seem to love it and ask for more. God bless you.
This is EXCELLENT information! I have watched a lot of videos on how to get views and this is the first time I’m hearing about most of these steps! And thank you for clearly and slowly showing how to do each step you recommended and not assuming we know how to do them!
Your TH-cam challenge is really helping me. God works in amazing ways. I’m literally taking notes. I bought a notebook for it.😂 I’ve been putting off posting videos for two years. I bought an action cam and helmet mount and filled all of my memory cards with motorcycle videos. Then I got overwhelmed by the editing process and storyline details. Now I’m going to devote time every day to finish and post the first video and continue with scheduled posts as often as I can manage. Thank you for this series.
@@ThisIsVirginiaKerrgood thumbnails are always needed too as well as a good title for each video.... good tags. Videos everyday.. Try shorts and live vids as well. I was offered 1000 views from one guy for something like 40 dollars... 😂
Thank you so much for posting this video! I started using your tips, and my last video got 7x more views than usual (over 7K views when I normally get about 1K views). I appreciate your help - keep shining your light!
@@Destinations2see I think there's definitely a gap in information about moving, so that's probably helping my reach. But travel is also a great topic!
Another *SUPER IMPORTANT* tip a lot of creators overlook - adding *timestamps* for each section of your video (use some of those keywords you were talking about LOL). People watching are more likely to skip bits they find boring and go to the next most interesting "section" of your video if you include them, rather than leave the video entirely. They also help tremendously when you are looking at the video analytics as they help you at lot when looking at the audience retention graph. Cheers, Stephen Spry.
@@PsychicGlympse It's really simple to do, but the easiest way to explain is to check the description of any of my "recent" videos... you'll see a section at the bottom of all of them with the timestamps for that video. Hope that helps :) Cheers.
@@PsychicGlympse Just a suggestion but have you thought of separating these monthly vids into smaller segments - obviously not one per sign cos they'd only be a minute or two long... but possibly into the major air, water etc groups, each around 3-5 mins? Cheers, Stephen.
@@saspryThanks for the suggestion - this is how I've been doing them; started off as Shorts, but now I do one monthly video and separate them into Shorts because they're about 50 seconds each. That gives me a reasonable length video and 13 shorts. However, this is not the main focus of my channel. At the moment they are in their own category, I'm working on the main channel content and may stop the forecasts in 2025, since they take up a lot of time and get very few views. Thanks for the input. 🥰
I didn't post any videos for 3 years and just started again a couple of months ago. Your videos are so helpful without being overwhelming. I am going to try your challenge next week. Thanks so much.
Total GOLD!! I've taken notes & already know I'm going to be watching this over & over again! Thx for including the screen shots - as a technically challenged person - makes it soooo much easier.

I feel that I am at a point where I’m beginning to play my “inner game of tennis” as a content creator. Wishing you ever- increasing success and fulfillment.
Thank you sooo much for this tutorial Miss Virginia. I am relatively new to TH-cam since 2022. Until I saw your video in my feed, I had no idea about the best way to way to customize. Thank you sooo much.
Small musician with 30 subscribers. This is sound advice. Couldn't have found this at a better time. Hopefully, using this will help reach the 100 subscribers' goal
I have just started my TH-cam channel a week ago and my feed is full of videos explaining how to gain views etc. I checked a few channels as well but honestly I just loved the way you explained everything in a crisp and clear manner. Thank you so much. You got a new subscriber 😊
Started posting in earnest 10 years ago. I don’t really do it for views or likes. Just capturing memories. They are fun to watch years later. I do enjoy the production part of it as a hobby in retirement. I have no ambition to make money on TH-cam. If someone else on this planet enjoy my post, then great. I do get bothered by click bait titles. One channel I follow did that recently and it bothered me a lot. On the title suggestion - please don’t mislead your followers
Congrats on making a how to video that finally isn’t annoying. Everyone else post 10 minute prologues talking about what there gonna be talking about in the video
Your Details and Breakdowns Are Done Beyond WONDERFULLY!! I Genuinely THANK YOU. I am rebranding my entire TH-cam Channel Now and I Am Taking Notes From Professional TH-camrs Like You! You Gained A New Subscriber! Thank You...... and Infinite Love, Growth, Prosperity and Fun!! 👍🏾😁
Thank you! JUST The FILE name is a massive key piece. I noticed that for the 1sr time today when I needed to re-upload a short for my cat's channel...Totally sharing at the very least the 1st three tips, that darn thumbnail file name, that sucker almost got passed by too. Thank you
Wow! I've had my channel for a year and didn't know any of this. You actually answered a couple of questions I've had during this video. Thank you for a clear and to the point explanation. I will definitely be implementing these tips on my next upload! Great job!
First of all. I never knew about that “file name” thing. So there’s that! Visibility and the algorithm is such a struggle for my channel even though lately I have been getting some lovely and encouraging comments so I know I’m on the right track. BUT- I’m so tired of getting junk emails to my work email telling me my SEO sucks and that I can hire people to do what you talk about here. My growth IS so slow it’s killing me 😂 but thanks for this workable and honest advice ❤
Mine too! I work too hard on my videos to have them only seen by 200 people. There is so much to do in TH-cam! It's a full-time job all its own! I hope it gets easier for you!
This is literally one of the best piece of advice for growing your channel I have seen on here ! No fuss just straight to the point and I can't wait to try this!! Thank you so much! It's so hard out here for us small TH-camrs so this is very much appreciated ❤
There is more info packed into these 8 minutes or so then just about anything else I've seen. Excellent information. I just realized how many things I have overlooked, and thanks to this video, I am about to fix these things.
I think the most important thing is that you create content that interests people: we produce videos that introduce different destinations. Videos about destinations that are popular automatically get more impressions and thus more clicks. But that doesn’t stop us from publishing videos about destinations that are not popular (like the last one 😉)
Unfortunately I have noticed that channels with silly content like mukbang ( people eat on camera) and someone who acts silly got more subscribers and views than something with serious content...
This is quite insightful especially with those of us struggling to get views from the content we upload. Thank you very much. You have gained one new subscriber.
I really appreciate how you broke this down and illustrated the different parts of the algorithm needs for us. Simple, straightforward, well explained, and RELEVANT!!! Thank you!!
Wow! Wonderful tip! Thank you. I’m 58 and started my first YT channel last week. I have 23,000+ views, 288 subscribers, and almost 2000 hours of watch time. It’s a great start, but I still have so much to learn. Thank you for all your expert advice. ❤️
Insightful info, also collaborating and supporting each other is another way to grow and most importantly consistently be putting out valuable contents. Your audience will find you. Goodluck to everyone
This is exactly what I needed. I couldn’t understand why nothing would happen with my videos, I’m not a great filmer yet but I didn’t think they were terrible, and I’ve been using my iPad for uploading and I clearly have to be doing it on a computer to benefit from all of the different options. They are very limited on an iPad or TH-cam studio, I’ve found. But maybe I, doing that wrong also. Either way thank you for the tips
Hello Virginia, I just discovered your channel and want to thank you for this TH-cam tutorial. This info is incredibly helpful; I am a novice and new TH-camr having established my channel in the past two months. Hopefully, I will generate more traffic by your exercising these additional simple steps. Many thanks!
My regular youtube videos get 30-60 views but when I remix the videos into shorts they get 400+ views. I've been wanting to know how to get a lot of views on my regular youtube videos. I'm looking forward to trying these steps. Thank you for this!
I am experiencing similar challenges. When doing shorts TH-cam ignores my long form videos hence zero views there even when i have over 5k-15k views on shorts.
shorts killed my second channel so i stopped uploading shorts to focus on my long form videos alone, most of my long form subscribers will watch my short but not vice versa
Awesome tips! I also use the file name and thumbnail name idea. These tips are valuable for anyone starting a TH-cam channel or wanting to be more efficient. Great job! Keep creating!
I'm so happy to have found your channel, really loving all the tips and tricks with no fluff. I hope to get to 100 subscribers by the end of this year..
Very helpful!! I postponed posting my first TH-cam video to, November 9th! Gives me enough time to implement these tips as well as some other tips I got from another TH-camr and just be better prepared, thank you!
Hi Virginia! This is amazing! I just wanted to let you know that I got creative with my file name on the video I released this morning, as per your suggestion. And the thumbnail as well. Oh my goodness! This video is doing so well, I'm in shock. I'm getting almost 100 views per hour. What kind of wizardry is this? lol.... I subscribed to your channel. I love the way you present things in a no nonsense way, with very clear instructions and reasons why. I can see this making a huge impact on my channel. I will definitely be doing this on all future videos. Thank you so very much!
@@masoncreationsetc How can I name my thumbnail as I upload from my phone. Once it's uploaded from my phone, can I go to the studio and name it then? It's just easier for me to upload from my phone.
@karentoclean I always upload from my laptop, so I'm not sure how to rename from your phone. But I have to tell you, this has made a huge difference in my views.
I was actually about to give up because I hadn't gained any subscribers for so long. I've been stuck at 380, and sometimes it even goes down. Thank you, I will keep trying.
Hello Sir, I am a professional Digital Marketer and SEO Expert. I visited your TH-cam channel, Your content is very good. But I found some problems in your channel, your videos are not SEO optimized, so your videos don't reach more viewers and your videos don't get more views. Your video needs SEO optimization, it can easily get thousands of views on the video. I can help you to grow your channel 100% organic and perfect way within a short period of time!!
I started using tags about 1 month ago and had a pretty good climb from 460 subs to 600. I just saw this today and will try the file name tip and see how it goes! Thank you, subbed!
I'm Suprised nobody is talking about it, maybe they didn't stay til the end of your video but I'm shocked by the putting private or setting things up to premier as opposed to going straight to public. All GREAT info, thanks!
That sounds like a wonderful refreshing way to post videos. I have to edit mine though because I have a nail channel, and there's a lot of dead space in between the steps. I don't want people to be bored when polish is drying/curing. Lol
@@NailGirlInMontana that makes sense ! When there is going to be dead moment I stop the video, upload it and pick up where I left off in the next clip.
@@MrsParkerToYou yep! I hit the pause button on my video recorder! Cuts out a lot of the dead spots ahead of time, but there's still a lot of other stuff to cut out. Bad takes and ums... lol
Hey, I just found your channel and binged the 7 videos, I'm so loving it. The concept of simplifying YT is so fresh. Can you please make a video on how to reduce all the prep before filming? In one video, you talked about how you give yourself only 1 hour to film a video! For me, doing my makeup and getting all dressed takes one hour itself. Then, setting up the shot takes another 30 mins. Honestly, I've contemplated not doing makeup in my videos (because mine is educational content anyways), but I see every creator so dolled up in their videos and I think that probably looks more professional. What do you think?
If it makes you feel any better, it takes me a long time as well. By the time I dress, do makeup and hair, do test shots, set up the camera angles and film…it’s really time consuming. And I’m a novice and still learning. I wish you all the best.
I’ve heard conflicting info about the file name impacting the video’s reach. Is there somewhere you can point us to go read that so we can get more info on that? Thanks for the content for the past week+! It’s been encouraging to me.
Hi Virginia, I just launched my channel two weeks ago and did not correctly name my thumbnail or video files!!! I also had a poor video category selected that was nothing to do with my channel. Thanks for covering this topic - it is appreciated.
Do you have any ways to optimize your video that I missed?
@@ThisIsVirginiaKerr might not be a technical way but the area that you record your videos is huge. But you did mention this in another video when you brought up doing it in your utility room.

Thank you! JUST The FILE name is a massive key piece. I noticed that for the 1sr time today when I needed to re-upload a short for my cat's channel...Totally sharing at the very least the 1st three tips, that darn thumbnail file name, that sucker almost got passed by too. Thank you
Wow! I've had my channel for a year and didn't know any of this. You actually answered a couple of questions I've had during this video. Thank you for a clear and to the point explanation. I will definitely be implementing these tips on my next upload! Great job!
First of all. I never knew about that “file name” thing. So there’s that! Visibility and the algorithm is such a struggle for my channel even though lately I have been getting some lovely and encouraging comments so I know I’m on the right track. BUT-
I’m so tired of getting junk emails to my work email telling me my SEO sucks and that I can hire people to do what you talk about here. My growth IS so slow it’s killing me 😂 but thanks for this workable and honest advice ❤
I love that you said that! I get the same messages in my comments and emails. So annoying.
Mine too! I work too hard on my videos to have them only seen by 200 people. There is so much to do in TH-cam! It's a full-time job all its own! I hope it gets easier for you!
I hate those emails as well!!!!!
I’m so impressed at how clearly you share amazing information!! Thank you so much.
Thank you! I've created a few courses so they were good practice 🙂
This is literally one of the best piece of advice for growing your channel I have seen on here ! No fuss just straight to the point and I can't wait to try this!! Thank you so much! It's so hard out here for us small TH-camrs so this is very much appreciated ❤
There is more info packed into these 8 minutes or so then just about anything else I've seen. Excellent information. I just realized how many things I have overlooked, and thanks to this video, I am about to fix these things.
I started mine 6 months ago. I got only 79 subscribers. I feel defeated, trying to learn something to change that. Thanks for making the video.
Sub done, waiting 😊
I think the most important thing is that you create content that interests people: we produce videos that introduce different destinations. Videos about destinations that are popular automatically get more impressions and thus more clicks. But that doesn’t stop us from publishing videos about destinations that are not popular (like the last one 😉)
Unfortunately I have noticed that channels with silly content like mukbang ( people eat on camera) and someone who acts silly got more subscribers and views than something with serious content...
@ sadly true 😢
This is quite insightful especially with those of us struggling to get views from the content we upload. Thank you very much. You have gained one new subscriber.
Wow! Thanks for the video file name and thumbnail info! Just changed two up-coming video file names. Great content Virginia!
Thank you! This helps!❤
I really appreciate how you broke this down and illustrated the different parts of the algorithm needs for us. Simple, straightforward, well explained, and RELEVANT!!! Thank you!!
This was by far one of the most informative videos that I've seen thank you🙏🏽
5:08 I upload from iPad and I don’t think I see all these video details option.. someone help
I see you want to grow your channel but I can give you some tips for free let's talk
Use a laptop
Wow! Wonderful tip! Thank you. I’m 58 and started my first YT channel last week. I have 23,000+ views, 288 subscribers, and almost 2000 hours of watch time. It’s a great start, but I still have so much to learn. Thank you for all your expert advice. ❤️
Thanks
Great information. I was doing some of those, but not all. Thank you for sharing the information ☺️
At last! A video I could understand 👍 thank you Virgina, I desperately needed this.
Insightful info, also collaborating and supporting each other is another way to grow and most importantly consistently be putting out valuable contents. Your audience will find you. Goodluck to everyone
Renaming file name is great tip! ✨ It also helps other social media content - carasols, single posts etc
Supported you and subscribed 🩷
How to change it please?
@@shehustlespodcastcy thank you✨! I subscribed as well 🫶🏾
Great info and great tutorial! Thanks for sharing.
This is exactly what I needed. I couldn’t understand why nothing would happen with my videos, I’m not a great filmer yet but I didn’t think they were terrible, and I’ve been using my iPad for uploading and I clearly have to be doing it on a computer to benefit from all of the different options. They are very limited on an iPad or TH-cam studio, I’ve found. But maybe I, doing that wrong also. Either way thank you for the tips
Hello Virginia,
I just discovered your channel and want to thank you for this TH-cam tutorial. This info is incredibly helpful; I am a novice and new TH-camr having established my channel in the past two months. Hopefully, I will generate more traffic by your exercising these additional simple steps. Many thanks!
My regular youtube videos get 30-60 views but when I remix the videos into shorts they get 400+ views. I've been wanting to know how to get a lot of views on my regular youtube videos. I'm looking forward to trying these steps. Thank you for this!
I am experiencing similar challenges. When doing shorts TH-cam ignores my long form videos hence zero views there even when i have over 5k-15k views on shorts.
@@Holywood_Entertainments Shorts killed my channel so i stopped uploading shorts
shorts killed my second channel so i stopped uploading shorts to focus on my long form videos alone, most of my long form subscribers will watch my short but not vice versa
@@TheSpiritualMinistry I am also experiencing the same thing as you. If you guys have any tips please let me know
Seriously. I just did this today and it got 6k in 3 hours. I usually get 1-10 views in a week. Remixing is a great way to get more views for sure
1:11 I don’t have “file name” showing up on my video in studio. Is that normal?
Same!
You need to upload from computer to see it 😊
But does it still help youtube find your channel if it does show@@diydoodles
Thanks Virginia.. its a great video !
Thank you! I just started posting content and this just may be the single most helpful video I’ve seen on the subject.
Awesome tips! I also use the file name and thumbnail name idea. These tips are valuable for anyone starting a TH-cam channel or wanting to be more efficient. Great job! Keep creating!
I'm so happy to have found your channel, really loving all the tips and tricks with no fluff. I hope to get to 100 subscribers by the end of this year..
So glad you're here. That's certainly doable!
All small channels fighting for growth, let's stay pushing. We will monetize one day🤞
Sub done, waiting 😊
Done
I just subscribed...waiting too
Very helpful!! I postponed posting my first TH-cam video to, November 9th! Gives me enough time to implement these tips as well as some other tips I got from another TH-camr and just be better prepared, thank you!
Thank you so much!! Your videos are very helpful and informative 🙏🙏🙏
Just started youtube am at 24 sub not giving up but still learning and enjoying the journey❤
I started uploading multiple times per day and I gained 26 subscribers since I started on August 16th and thousands of views
@@MrsParkerToYou what is it that you upload several times per day? A long form video or shorts?
@@PattyB.Gardening Both!
Ohh very good
Just subbed 🎉❤
@@precioussimoneinspires thank you!!!
Thanks for the advice. Haven't heard this one before. Definitely will try it.
Oh I am so doing this!! Who knew a few little tricks on naming a file could help soooo much!
Hi Virginia! This is amazing! I just wanted to let you know that I got creative with my file name on the video I released this morning, as per your suggestion. And the thumbnail as well. Oh my goodness! This video is doing so well, I'm in shock. I'm getting almost 100 views per hour. What kind of wizardry is this? lol.... I subscribed to your channel. I love the way you present things in a no nonsense way, with very clear instructions and reasons why. I can see this making a huge impact on my channel. I will definitely be doing this on all future videos. Thank you so very much!
@@masoncreationsetc How can I name my thumbnail as I upload from my phone. Once it's uploaded from my phone, can I go to the studio and name it then? It's just easier for me to upload from my phone.
@karentoclean I always upload from my laptop, so I'm not sure how to rename from your phone. But I have to tell you, this has made a huge difference in my views.
@@masoncreationsetc Actually I figured it out. I can name it from Canva. Thank you.
Thanks for the information. It’s very hard starting a channel. For everyone that’s struggling, let’s keep going. 🎉.
Yes, it’s very hard 😞
Good luck
Thank you Virginia, This video has brought me so much value, I will be changing how I produce and upload going forward
I was actually about to give up because I hadn't gained any subscribers for so long. I've been stuck at 380, and sometimes it even goes down. Thank you, I will keep trying.
Hello Sir,
I am a professional Digital Marketer and SEO Expert. I visited your TH-cam channel, Your content is very good. But I found some problems in your channel, your videos are not SEO optimized, so your videos don't reach more viewers and your videos don't get more views. Your video needs SEO optimization, it can easily get thousands of views on the video.
I can help you to grow your channel 100% organic and perfect way within a short period of time!!
I started using tags about 1 month ago and had a pretty good climb from 460 subs to 600. I just saw this today and will try the file name tip and see how it goes! Thank you, subbed!
Fabulous video, Virginia. I'm working on an ecourse and wanted a few creators to suggest in the resource section and this one is GOLD. Thank you!
Many t hanks for the great tips! Very glad to hear your suggestions!
Very clear and helpful. Thank you! =)
Started my youtube journey and been struggling with subscribers but not giving up💪
Go girl
You got this!!!
It took me more than two years to get to 500, and then boom, God stepped in... Don't give up, sis. God and time
Please don’t give up. The consistency is always key.
I like the way you present, short and crisp with all relevant information. 👌
I'm Suprised nobody is talking about it, maybe they didn't stay til the end of your video but I'm shocked by the putting private or setting things up to premier as opposed to going straight to public. All GREAT info, thanks!
This was well executed thank you for the share
Been stuck on 270 for a while 😢 been uploading and well been at a stand still…. Hoping for the best!

Thank you Virginia for this helpful TH-cam
Thank you! Just switched my niche from beauty content to self improvement and sharing my healing journey. I can’t wait to find my audience! THANK YOU!
THIS WAS BEYOND HELPFUL. Thank you so much for sharing your TH-cam genius with the world. lol We need you.
I upload every day, no editing and I put them in daily playlists. It’s like a daily video diary
That’s amazing!
@@ThisIsVirginiaKerr yes and I think folks waste too much time editing and more folks want authenticity.
That sounds like a wonderful refreshing way to post videos. I have to edit mine though because I have a nail channel, and there's a lot of dead space in between the steps. I don't want people to be bored when polish is drying/curing. Lol
@@NailGirlInMontana that makes sense ! When there is going to be dead moment I stop the video, upload it and pick up where I left off in the next clip.
@@MrsParkerToYou yep! I hit the pause button on my video recorder! Cuts out a lot of the dead spots ahead of time, but there's still a lot of other stuff to cut out. Bad takes and ums... lol
I just started today 😂waiting for a miracle
Hey, I just found your channel and binged the 7 videos, I'm so loving it. The concept of simplifying YT is so fresh. Can you please make a video on how to reduce all the prep before filming? In one video, you talked about how you give yourself only 1 hour to film a video! For me, doing my makeup and getting all dressed takes one hour itself. Then, setting up the shot takes another 30 mins. Honestly, I've contemplated not doing makeup in my videos (because mine is educational content anyways), but I see every creator so dolled up in their videos and I think that probably looks more professional. What do you think?
Boy, can I relate!!!
So relatable, I've been trying to teach myself a quick and simpler make routine. Setting up always takes me longer than I anticipate too.
If it makes you feel any better, it takes me a long time as well. By the time I dress, do makeup and hair, do test shots, set up the camera angles and film…it’s really time consuming. And I’m a novice and still learning. I wish you all the best.
Great appreciation for injecting truthful teachings, let's learn together. Thank you for inspiring me, great appreciation from Kenya.
Very informative video with easy to follow steps! Thank you!!
I’ve heard conflicting info about the file name impacting the video’s reach. Is there somewhere you can point us to go read that so we can get more info on that? Thanks for the content for the past week+! It’s been encouraging to me.
I had no idea you could and should rename your video and thumbnail files! 🤦♀️ Thank you for sharing!
Me either!! That’s a great tip!

Omg thank you so much. I never ever change my file name on my Thumbnail. This was a very informative video!. Be Blessed
Hi Virginia, I just launched my channel two weeks ago and did not correctly name my thumbnail or video files!!! I also had a poor video category selected that was nothing to do with my channel. Thanks for covering this topic - it is appreciated.
