I got monetized within 6 months. My advice? Be consistent. I upload videos every week, no excuses, and that's it. Make videos that bring VALUE to people's lives and do it ONCE every week. Now I get paid to make videos... What more could I want?
Fun Fact: The average attention span for videos is 8 seconds or LESS. Having a video intro that is short and gets right to the point is definitely essential. Great tips, Erin!
Consistsancy, content people want to watch and a good microphone. I have had my channel for less than 3 months and my subs are growing so fast. Plus adding Tiktok helps as well. My subs are 422 and my watchtime is over 100000 watch time minutes. Please take Erin's advice she is gooood.
I appreciate all your guidance through my TH-cam/social media journey Erin, thank you so much for helping me monetize with such a small audience! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I never thought about how putting text on the screen can make such a difference in creating a YT video!!! I will do it when I start up loading next month. Thanks for all these juicy tips.
Yay! An Erin upload day is a good day. I'm proud of you and how your channel is doing - you are so deserving. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and energy! Much love x
You're so right about the long intros I have unsubscribed to channels for doing that and I hate people begging to hit the like button before I even watch the video
This came at the right time!! I love your content so much. You have inspired me to start a TH-cam channel. Lord knows this platform needs more black content creators who are making bank
A tip that has helped me become a little more consistent is planning out my videos well in advance and I mean everything. I write down the idea I have for my thumbnail in words so that I don't forget to get the right photos for them. I write out my description sometimes as well so that I'm not writing it out at the last minute. and I plan out all my talking points which saves me so much time during filming! I use Notion to plan it all out!
Damn! Girllllll I do the exact same thing . I’ve been struggling with consistency and just started this strategy 2 weeks ago and I can see the DIFFERENCE already 💃🏽
i always thought that if you didn’t reach the requirements to be monetized within the first year of having your channel, you wouldn’t ever be able to be monetized so thanks for explaining that lol on the road to 1,000 subbies! ❤️❤️
8 minutes is also the minimum time required to put adds in during your video. I wouldn’t do that with my At Home Workout videos b/c I don’t want to mess with the flow, but good to keep in mind. Thanks Erin 😁
Yesss! I love everything about this video sis. 08:16 yess! Quality & Consistency is key...”quality is not diminished by your quantity.” Consistency is so tricky. I’ve moved from weekly to 2x a week to back to weekly...then once every 2 weeks. Now, I’ve finally found my groove to upload 2x a week and pre-schedule so I don’t fall behind. ☀️🌺🌴 ALOHA from Hawaii!
This is excellent advice..especially the part about deciding what fits your energy. So many people think they have to do everything and so they get spread too thin and do everything half way. Then they get frustrated and quit because they aren't getting the results they want. You are on point when you say to choose what fits your life, lifestyle and energy. Not everything is for every one. Great vid.
Yes all this information is good. Time stamp markers is good also. So people can get into the part they wanna hear or see quicker. But make sure time stamp titles are catchy so they get intrigued into the subject your getting about. Good info sis. This will really helpful to new TH-camrs out there.
Although I’m far from monetization at this time, still really useful video as a new TH-camr. A huge thing I’ve learned is to get straight to the point, no need for long intros😅
wow, this video was super helpful. i'm glad you covered that one year watch hour thing because i always thought it starts over. im working so hard to get my channel monetized and taking your advice is really helping out. thank you so much for these types of videos!!! 💗and you’re so pretty 😍😍
Hey Erin! 👋🏾 Again you always come with high quality tips. Thanks for sharing. I am also on my journey on TH-cam. I first started over 6 years ago. Stopped and stared 3 years ago. And stopped again... That is one tip I would share. Stay consistent and trust the process. Lol I've been a subie for a few years now all the best Erin. Keep shining. From Tay 🇬🇧🇯🇲💃🏾
Thank you for making these videos. They’re so helpful. I posted my 1st video a few days ago just to test the waters and I actually enjoyed it and enjoyed the editing process, I cant wait to improve with time and get even better. I look forward to implementing some of your advice (not just from this video but others you have made) with my future videos! Im not going to think to much into it & overwhelm myself. Im just going to have fun and enjoy the journey and see where it leads. What will be shall be. ✨🌞🙏🏽
Excellent tips. You were right on the money about watch time. I notice my watch time increases when my video are at least 9-10 min. Anything under that I take a hit 😔😂. I’m trying to be mindful to keep my videos at least 10 min or more. I be scared sometimes I can get boring but the numbers say otherwise 😂. Great video as always.
Much love to you and your family always and truly do appreciate this (especially the long intros section). I see you with the #zip code lol. Text on screen is a good tip as well. Wishing nothing but success in the present and future. That sweater is everything, keep killing the game and stay humble (which you are)!
I’m working hard to grow my subscribers I’m getting views just not as many subscribers it growing now that I am consistent without content. Thanks for the tips!
Monetization is a goal for me but I need more clarity on the requirements. I was really inconsistent with my channel in the past. I want to take it more seriously now that I have a camera and other tools that will make this journey a lot easier. When do the 12 months start? Is it the moment you post your first video? I have only 130 subs now- so would it be worth starting a new youtube channel?
This is a great video. Finding a hole resonates with me. I have learned that certain videos do better than others and have shifted my focus towards doing more of those.
This was so helpful.... all of your videos are helpful. I’ve definitely been wanting to step up my quality of my videos. I am pretty consistent but there is definitely improvement that needs to be made. So far so good. Thanks again for sharing.
Beautiful I appreciate the information. This was a big help. I would have to say I could not help but admire your beauty. This was definitely a plus in addition to the information you provided. Your make-up and everything else about you was flawless. Love your top. God bless beautiful sister. Keep up the good work.
Ok, but I am LIVING for this sweater. Who else is on their road to monetization this year? 🙋🏻♀️

Yes to the VALUE. How can your videos serve your audience?
@@naturalnormalnae My videos educate and provide them with value! That's all there really is to it!
@@nikkirowland You got this, Nikki!
Inspired. Well done 👏
Fun Fact: The average attention span for videos is 8 seconds or LESS. Having a video intro that is short and gets right to the point is definitely essential. Great tips, Erin!
