I never thought to use Pinterest in the way you have described in other videos, to get views to your TH-cam channel. I always thought Pinterest was only for hardcore bloggers. So that’s what I’m working on at the moment, Pinterest.
I wasn't consistent at all when I first started my TH-cam channel 9 months ago but now I'm back on track and trying my best to upload every week. Thanks to Cathrin, I was able to set my priorities and took many tips on how to grow my channel 🥰
Agreed. I know consistency is king 🤴 but it really does take an intentional effort to plan ahead. I bought Catherin’s content calendar and spent yesterday doing keyword research and planning the next 52 weeks of content💯👊 lets go Guys!

Masterclass indeed 💯 We found Cathrin’s channel literately the 1st week of the pandemic, took massive imperfect action & built a community of +35K people in a year. Cathrin is BRILLIANT how she subtly plugs her sponsorships, affiliates, digital products etc. without “pitching” you. Her channel is AWESOME for brand new youtubers or seasoned vets! ❤️🙏🏼🇧🇷
@@raw-soul I feel the same but if i've learned anything from Cathrin Manning, it's to just GO FOR IT and start! I second guess my vlogs all the time but I know it will pay off in the long run to have just jumped in the race :)
What I love about your videos is it’s more than just “how to get more subscribers” type videos. They are more business related and that’s what TH-cam is when you break it all down. So thank you.
😍😍 Im so happy to be so early.. Thanks to you I have grown my skincare channel to 50k which we just hit this week :).. Honestly without your support it would never have been possible... Love you so much xxxx
23:20 RESONATES COMPLETELY! It's all about the behind-the-scene hustle. What are we doing to improve ourselves and our brands right now? What are we doing to find ourselves so that we show up authentically for our audiences? Thank you Cathrin for speaking some truth!
Love everything about this! I had no idea how important affiliate marketing links at the beginning build up stage were until I started watching your channel. Appreciate you!! 🙏🏼
I've been building my channel for about a year now and have had a blast. Great advice in this video! I'm hoping when TH-cam picks up my channel, all my ducks will be in a row and the sky will be the limit!
Thank you so much for this informative video. I've been slugging away aimlessly on TH-cam for 18 months now and still wondering what and where to focus my attention as I move forward toward the goal of one day becoming a full time creator and a saleable brand. 😇
I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO SHARE HOW INCREDIBLY MOTIVATING AND HELPFUL THIS VIDEO WAS FOR ME!!!! (also I totally did not mean to type in all caps, but now that I see that I did...The emphasis is worth it :)
This is my vlog channel, but I am mostly on my beauty channel. Sometimes it gets hard to figure out what to film and I am trying to get better at editing and little things here and there. Thank you so much for this video..
Thanks so much Cathrin!! ❣️ No wonder you spoke so fast on this video, that was sooo much info to put into a few minutes!! Such important info here!!!! 👏👏
You’re the only person who speaks so fast but gets your points across. Thank you so much for this video it was really helpful. Been considering where to focus my energies since and I’ve gotten so much clarity on the issue… I’m grateful Catherine!
watching a few of your older videos and now seeing this video, wow your hair is gorgeous and your content has gotten more and more helpful. Thanks girl!
Everything that has been said here is pure gold.✨ The only problem I find with me and most people is that we lack the confidence to start a business or a TH-cam channel.
Thanks, you hit the nail on the head. I've been spending way too much time in analytics and comparing myself to other channels. This was a great reminder and wake-up call that really solidified in my head.
I was literally sitting here like "I want to watch a video about setting my brand up for success, because I know that my video strategy is going to work," and instead of typing anything into the search bar, I just came to your channel. Hopefully in 2 years, when people think about coming to Florida, they just come directly to my channel.
Thanks for another great video - I'm feeling inspired to create a logo, think more about my personal brand in terms of colours & target audience etc! But I love to see that you featured the podcast episode I recorded with you & my husband for Just Interesting People Podcast! What an honour it was to talk to you! Thanks for inspiring so many of us TH-camrs! I've been working non stop on my channel since Jan 2020 and I'm currently at around 820 subs but I can't wait to see it grow even more! ❤️
You make some excellent points about things that small TH-camrs should be doing to prepare for being a big TH-camr! I also think that setting all of these things up and advance while you have time is not only smart economically but also helps manifest the future that you want!
I’ve learned so much from your channel in starting my own. I recommend your channel to everyone wanting to get started on TH-cam. Thank you for your informative content. I love it!
I like that! "hussle your butt off" I'm doing just that!!! Thanks for all your insights - my channel is now almost a year old & I started with your channel to learn where to start with mine- Can't thank you enough 😁

I am just binge watching your videos, and BOOM here is another one! Love your videos Cathrin. I started my channel in January, and I’m now just over 2k subscribers thanks to your tips. Looking forward to watching this one too.
Thanks for this! It’s hard out here, as a beginner! Excited to use these tips to improve my channel! New kitchen tour posted for anyone who is interested!
Thanks for the tips! I am working on my art TH-cam channel and have a related art instagram account as well as three coloring books released now :) good luck everyone!
Cathrin, love your content and you and your channel are just amazing! I have a quick tip for your final cut pro editing, when you try to match the colors of multiple scenes, going into that detailed color correction is too complicated, actually there is a built-in feature inside final cut pro itself that will allow you to do that. So, this is how you do it: 1. Select a clip on which you don't like color 2. Tap "Modify" in the top of your screen where are all the options 3. Tap "Match Color" and choose the clip with which you want that clip's colors to be matched with and voila! Final cut pro will actually do all that matching for you with you saving time and effort. BTW if you are into keyboard commands' stuff then this feature will be option+command+m. If you saw this comment let me know please :
oh my gosh I'm going to try that in the video I'm working on right now!! the coloring is allllllll over the place so I'm gonna see if that works 👏 THANK YOU!!
@@CathrinManning This is just the little I can give you in return for all the tips, strategies and just help in general with my youtube channel. I've been watching your videos since December 2019 and gained ton of knowledge, thanks a lot!
You always come through with the gems! 👏🏾 I'm so happy you mentioned email lists, it's truly some of my highest sale conversions and my 1st TH-cam subscribers 🥰 I have quite a few of email subscribers who told me they are no longer on social media, so my emails keep them in the loop 😍 Emails are not dead 🙌🏾 P.s. I would love to see you on TikTok 😉 but no presh, you're doing more than enough 🌠
After watching you from the VERY start, I finally started a channel. lol wish I did it back when you did. Ugh. But you’ve helped soooo much. Only three months in but it’s great. Also WAY harder than I ever expected. I’ve gotten nearly 6.5 subs but 90% of those came in the first month. Now it’s kind of stagnant. And I need to learn to edit and do more prerecorded videos. Lives are fun but too much drama comes in and gets me off track. Thank you!
Hello! I recently discovered your channel and I’m binge watching it. If you allow me a personal comment : OMG😮 your hair colour is so gorgeous. It’s illuminating your complexion. Have a great day!
Hi Cathrin 👋🏿! I had to take a break from my channel and I’m hoping that it doesn’t hurt my progress too much🙏🏿! Hopefully this video will help me to stay encouraged 😌! Thank you so much ❤️!
This is the exact video I have been looking for!! I am trying to set up my channel EmMe (isn’t this account) and full on get it going and this is extremely helpful! Thank you so much!!
Your starting another channel, :) that’s awesome! I’m working on a second one as well that I hope to launch soon. It should result in some cool videos on this channel. I am starting to think how you launch a channel is critical, and I’m taking what I have learned on this channel and applying it to that one.
@@AdamMellor1 That’s amazing!! And yes couldn’t agree more, the launch of a channel is really important in my eyes also, really trying to stay consistent this time round. I hope your channel keeps on growing and your second one does the same!! :)
Thank you always for the tips. We only have about 2 months and I honestly don’t know how people are patient enough to grow!! I get it it takes time and work. Also starting from zero is hard. I have no other social media!! But I guess just give it time
I’ve been a little motivated because this is something I love doing and my channel isn’t reaching anyone but this information was very useful ❤️ I’m going to continue to work on my content
Thank you i learned so much from you . I just started my youtube i know it need patience and hardwork .. but im here with confidence that ill grow 2021 its not too late . 13 subscriber so far and im so grateful 🙏
"Set up email even if you don't have a paid product or service" - thanks for this advice. Maybe one day I'll be glad for the work done before I was ready. 🔥
I really missed you and your videos , somehow I haven’t watched your vlogs for a while, so this is such a great “coming back”, with a topic that’s both important and inspiring. I really need to work on my brand by this point, but I find excuses far too often 🙃
I haven't been uploading vlogs recently 😭 I've had to focus on my main channel content as I prep for vacation and other things coming up so I had to take a step back from vlogs and I miss them so much!
@@CathrinManning ahhh so it’s not me, it’s you! 😅 good to know! 😄 because I thought I missed your new episodes. Take care, we can wait. Have a great vacation!..
You’re on a roll Cathrin😍! This video is exactly what I needed to hear, started my channel 3 months ago and your advice has helped tremendously! Love your channel girl❤️
Also with all of the TH-cam shorts stuff lately I would really like to know what you think about them! You always have GREAT tips & tricks for regular youtube videos and I'm sure you'll have equally helpful advice for youtube shorts!
Yes!!! This is the video I need to see!! I cannot wait to watch this! Your channel is helping me so much with getting started on my TH-cam journey. Thank you!
Thanks for this amazing video! Uploading twice a week, I hoped I had more subscribers and views so far, but i love what I do! Im in it for the long run! Thanks for your content Cathrin!
I found your channel a couple months back ❤️ I wanted to come on here to tell you THANK YOU for providing so much information! Got my channel up and running with ease! Truly look forward to watching your videos! 🤙🏾 BIG thank you from The Bahamas -Jas
I just started yesterday filming This video is so informative and is very needed Thank you so so much from the button of my heart ❤️ Greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬
That’s exciting that you just started, best of luck to you! :) If I had any advice it would be show your videos to someone before uploading, quality should be the focus at the beginning.
Girl! i found you a couple days ago and ive binged so many of your videos. You're so helpful and i have tons of notes from you, im starting my own channel and its great to have guidance.
Just have to say great advice as always but taking a step back… this is a masterclass on how to integrate a brand deal / sponsorship within your content 👍🧡
Hi there, just came across your content since i have brainstorming on how to start my channel. and i am super glad i came across your channel. You are simply the best.. and something else your wall art affirmations really motivates me each time i come across them. Be blessed . Looking forward for more content.
Cathrin i love your videos, would love to see one about TH-cam Shorts, your thoughts on it, any tips and tricks you might have to push them further, are they good for your channel or bad (in terms of analytics) etc!
A lot of the babes are using TikTok to grow. Like growing their TikTok accounts and then using that platform to bring people to TH-cam. Growing a channel isn't easy so I am happy for the advice❤
Omg this is perfect! My channel is pretty new so I’ve just been focusing on making more content. I like to research/listen to TH-cam advice on my free time (or when doing random chores LOL) but so many have been “how to start.” I feel like I’ve listened to all of them and they no longer apply since I started up, BUT THIS VIDEO IS PERFECT FOR WHERE I AM NOW! Will definitely be looking into growing a network and preparing to organize for future finances (: thank you!
Me too, but it’s hard for me to be consistent. Plus I often feel like “what is my style?” And you see some people with such incredibly cohesive social media it can feel discouraging.
To achieve a cohesive look to your brand, use a colour palette with a few lead colours (mine are yellow and black) and have a couple that are 'accent colours' (colours you use sparingly). Setup a document and keep all your 'HEX Codes' in that. Pick one, or maximum 2 fonts. Decide which will always be your headings and always be your body copy. Bold for headings, uppercase works well, regular for body copy. Add these rules to your document. Create a template and use it to design several items in a similar style and stick to your fonts and colours. This is basis of all brand consistency for look and feel. The more you swap about your colours, font style the more you will break it, the more you stick to it, the more cohesive it will be. Feel free to drop me a question Adam, happy to help get your brand on track! All the best Paul
This was such a useful video, I feel like I am starting to be in this phase where I finally have the time to continue working on my brand, and really grow the behind the scenes and this video was so helpful!
okay I'm curious... did you do all of these things while setting up your brand?! or are you still working on them?

I did while setting up but I know I’ll be changing as time goes on and that’s okay!

Confidence doesn't come from always being right but from not being afraid to be wrong.

Potential topic idea: talking about how you mentally frame your thumbnails. Don’t mean how to edit but how to actively “think” about & visualise it.
That’s such a great question! I usually get inspiration from channels similar to mine but I definitely struggle with visualizing a thumbnail
I strongly believe we all need to hear this, you've got to stop saving money only. Invest some part of it, if you really want financial freedom.
Investing for today is priceless because tomorrow isn't promised, trading bit-coins, gold, silver and crypto secures a better tomorrow.
I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do because i have no idea of how and where to invest in?
That's so true, investment really saves.

@@AdamMellor1 That’s amazing!! And yes couldn’t agree more, the launch of a channel is really important in my eyes also, really trying to stay consistent this time round. I hope your channel keeps on growing and your second one does the same!! :)
Okay I’ve been waiting or this type of video. I am starting my TH-cam and this will be very helpful, Thanks Cathrin 💗
God ! I really needed that .. I love you ♥️
love youuuu!
Well done Cathrin! You've inspired me actually, to start my own channel
Thank you always for the tips. We only have about 2 months and I honestly don’t know how people are patient enough to grow!! I get it it takes time and work. Also starting from zero is hard. I have no other social media!! But I guess just give it time
Girl you are sooo helpful! I need to watch this again & take notes at the same time!
I’ve been a little motivated because this is something I love doing and my channel isn’t reaching anyone but this information was very useful ❤️ I’m going to continue to work on my content
Thank you i learned so much from you . I just started my youtube i know it need patience and hardwork .. but im here with confidence that ill grow 2021 its not too late . 13 subscriber so far and im so grateful 🙏
"Set up email even if you don't have a paid product or service" - thanks for this advice. Maybe one day I'll be glad for the work done before I was ready. 🔥
I really missed you and your videos , somehow I haven’t watched your vlogs for a while, so this is such a great “coming back”, with a topic that’s both important and inspiring. I really need to work on my brand by this point, but I find excuses far too often 🙃
I haven't been uploading vlogs recently 😭 I've had to focus on my main channel content as I prep for vacation and other things coming up so I had to take a step back from vlogs and I miss them so much!
@@CathrinManning ahhh so it’s not me, it’s you! 😅 good to know! 😄 because I thought I missed your new episodes. Take care, we can wait. Have a great vacation!..
You’re on a roll Cathrin😍!
This video is exactly what I needed to hear, started my channel 3 months ago and your advice has helped tremendously!
Love your channel girl❤️
Also with all of the TH-cam shorts stuff lately I would really like to know what you think about them! You always have GREAT tips & tricks for regular youtube videos and I'm sure you'll have equally helpful advice for youtube shorts!
These videos always come at perfect timing when I need a reality check! Thank you Cathrin!
Thanks for the post just started and channel blowing up for some reason more then my competitors
Yes!!! This is the video I need to see!! I cannot wait to watch this! Your channel is helping me so much with getting started on my TH-cam journey. Thank you!
I like your hair Catherine. So much value in this video thanks a bunch ❤️
Thanks for this amazing video! Uploading twice a week, I hoped I had more subscribers and views so far, but i love what I do! Im in it for the long run! Thanks for your content Cathrin!
Just recently started my channel and this video is so helpful, as always. p.s. your hair looks so pretty in this video!
Just saw your channel!! Subscribed to your channel! I look forward to watching your “What I eat in a day” that’s one of my fav content!!
@@Mrs.LivingLikeJessica Aw thank you so much! I'll subscribe to you too :)
Been watching this since I started my channel and we are slowing growing and growing
I found your channel a couple months back ❤️ I wanted to come on here to tell you THANK YOU for providing so much information! Got my channel up and running with ease! Truly look forward to watching your videos! 🤙🏾 BIG thank you from The Bahamas -Jas
I just started yesterday filming
This video is so informative and is very needed
Thank you so so much from the button of my heart ❤️
Greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬
That’s exciting that you just started, best of luck to you! :) If I had any advice it would be show your videos to someone before uploading, quality should be the focus at the beginning.
@@AdamMellor1 thank you so much for the advice
@@monicamourad no problem 😉 hope it helps!
Thank you! I just started and I was wondering if there is something I can be doing while I grow
Just what I needed to hear at the right time of starting my channel. Going to put them to practice.
Girl! i found you a couple days ago and ive binged so many of your videos. You're so helpful and i have tons of notes from you, im starting my own channel and its great to have guidance.
@Cathrin_Manning.. yaaaayyyyy!!!
Thank you for sharing Manning😍💚. Put them into practice, so excited.
Cathrin, thank you so much for these tips they are so so so so helpful. Also you look frickin FIRE xx
Thank you for this! I’m finding it difficult to grow on TH-cam but I’m determined to make it work! 😃💕
Just have to say great advice as always but taking a step back… this is a masterclass on how to integrate a brand deal / sponsorship within your content 👍🧡
Girl you called me out HARD in that last bit about wasting time 😂😂 I was not prepared 😅
Hi there, just came across your content since i have brainstorming on how to start my channel. and i am super glad i came across your channel. You are simply the best.. and something else your wall art affirmations really motivates me each time i come across them. Be blessed . Looking forward for more content.
CATHRIN IS BACK… with more gold for us!
hahaha I hope you like the video!!
Cathrin i love your videos, would love to see one about TH-cam Shorts, your thoughts on it, any tips and tricks you might have to push them further, are they good for your channel or bad (in terms of analytics) etc!
Yes, this one is what I need since I have some difficulties with my channel.hope this help me.
I have all the social media stuff covered, but I never thought about opening a business bank account. Thanks for the tip!
Yessss gimme all the tips Cathrin!! ❤️
I'm actually working now but I'm saving this one to watch later 💛 I definitely need all the tips to grow my channel 😅
A lot of the babes are using TikTok to grow. Like growing their TikTok accounts and then using that platform to bring people to TH-cam. Growing a channel isn't easy so I am happy for the advice❤
Omg this is perfect! My channel is pretty new so I’ve just been focusing on making more content.
I like to research/listen to TH-cam advice on my free time (or when doing random chores LOL) but so many have been “how to start.” I feel like I’ve listened to all of them and they no longer apply since I started up, BUT THIS VIDEO IS PERFECT FOR WHERE I AM NOW!
Will definitely be looking into growing a network and preparing to organize for future finances (: thank you!
I literally just started my email list today. Glad I'm ticking off the boxes here 🤓 Thanks as always, Cathrin!
Congratulations 🥳
@@tejaldhamdhere3772 Thanks so much!
I’m posting consistently and having a lot of fun thank you!
This is exciting for me! Branding is something I’m always thinking about
oh yes! branding can honestly be so fun!
Me too, but it’s hard for me to be consistent. Plus I often feel like “what is my style?” And you see some people with such incredibly cohesive social media it can feel discouraging.
To achieve a cohesive look to your brand, use a colour palette with a few lead colours (mine are yellow and black) and have a couple that are 'accent colours' (colours you use sparingly). Setup a document and keep all your 'HEX Codes' in that. Pick one, or maximum 2 fonts. Decide which will always be your headings and always be your body copy. Bold for headings, uppercase works well, regular for body copy. Add these rules to your document. Create a template and use it to design several items in a similar style and stick to your fonts and colours. This is basis of all brand consistency for look and feel. The more you swap about your colours, font style the more you will break it, the more you stick to it, the more cohesive it will be.
Feel free to drop me a question Adam, happy to help get your brand on track!
All the best
Paul
@@Paul_Greenwood it’s solid advice and basically what I do now. I recently made a template and am sticking to it, because I hate thumbnails 😂.
@@AdamMellor1 Looks like we're on the right track Adam! What are you using to design your dreaded thumbnails?
I am glad to say I am finally getting the hang of it! ✨
This was such a useful video, I feel like I am starting to be in this phase where I finally have the time to continue working on my brand, and really grow the behind the scenes and this video was so helpful!
Yes this is what I need
