I'm an 83 - year old TH-camr. Started my channel 2 years ago. All about encouraging mature women to go for it. Very Pro aging. I've been watching you since the red lipstick days. It's fun to watch your success!!!
Oh my gosh! I really value Katie’s videos so much but I have to say, Sandra, I needed to see your specific post. I am only 60 and nervous about starting on TH-cam but you have really given me the much needed nudge to push onwards!
YT completely changed by life even before 1k subs, 4k watch hours and finally getting monetized. documenting life here makes is so rewarding. small YTs - keep going !! 📷
I started my channel 3 weeks ago, I've been following your editing and planning tips and they've helped me a lot, Katie! It's always been a dream of mine to start a channel, since I was a teenager, but now I'm making that dream come true :D
📸 Love this video so so much! You are one of my biggest inspirations and it was just the push I needed to FINALLY begin creating and not just consume. xoxo
📷 lovely video. And everything you've said is so true. I'm four videos in and really trying to work on my voice, my clarity in speech and what I say. I've also LOVED the connections I've made already
I only started seriously posting about 6 months ago but its blowing my mind how much I've changed and grown just as a person thanks to youtube! I'm still a small channel but every video I get super sweet comments from strangers just telling me they liked what I made. Definitely feel the public speaking aspect, but also a general confidence that I can deliver what I set out to do. Not gonna lie, Katie, your videos helped me just dare to try in the first place, so thank you for that! ❤ Love your channel and you have such a sweet personality 😊
📷 You're one of the only YT "Content Creator' channels I follow, Katie, and I always watch all the way to the end.😎 Love your encouraging vibe and practical help! ❤ (Also, just signed up for the free month of SkillShare - looking forward to your class! 😊)
📷 This was a great reminder that even if your TH-cam channel doesn't go viral, the skills you learned along the way are still valuable and can be useful in other arenas! Love it!
I'm a 39-year-old technology challenged mom of eight working on getting my TH-cam channel monetized. I'm really glad that I'm starting this even though it's hard because it gives a great example to my kids about learning new things at every stage in your life. Even though I get frustrated, there's no way I'm going to quit because I have 16 little pairs of eyes watching me and I want to show them that it can be done
I have just started my fashion and beauty channel and there is so much to learn, but I have already got editing, design, scripting skills, and next is talking and pronunciation! Love your videos!!!! and hey from Helsinki :)
such good points! Vanity metrics aren't everything, finding community, new opprotunities and capturing your life are such good motivations to start and keep going
We started our channel about a month ago when we decided we wanted to retire in Italy and wanted to document our journey. We are in our mid-fifties and are having so much fun. It is hard work though. Good luck to all of the smaller and newer channels out there!
especially love what you said at the end 😌 i often catch myself worrying and being stuck in inaction too much in “getting it right” when bottom line, it’s all about creating. creating, learning, experimenting :)
Katie, I always enjoy watching you. I think I’ve been watching you Over a year and I learn so much. Always watch to the end, 😊thanks for all you do, inspiring.
📸 Awesome job girl. I have always wanted to upload just to journal my life too. Though i was always afraid especially now that people can take your face and do anything they want with it. When you said even if you only upload in private 🤯 idk why i have never thought of that before!
I started my Channel at the age of 51 and love the whole experience. Love your videos and that one is so empowering and I can totally agree about the topic of speaking skills and self confidence. Greetings from. Norway 🇳🇴
This was so inspiring to watch - I love your content. I also found out that were from the same small town so its even more inspiring for me to keep going
Katie, it's so cool to see your journey and passion for creating videos. It really goes to show you that consistency (even for personal gain....especially!!! for personal gain) leads to massive results in skills, confidence, and, if we are lucky, a wonderful community of supporters. 📸
Love your channel and journey! This was an awesome video, very encouraging. Hopefully, I'll start my channel soon, still thinking about it. You always provide great info and explain it so well...this is much appreciated! Thank you & be well!! 📸😊
Thanks 👍 for another video Katie providing encouragement, motivation and inspiration for your subscribers & viewers. Love 🥰 the video and love 💖 Katie. 📸
I have really enjoyed watching many of your videos on starting a TH-cam channel. I'm in the process of writing scripts and setting up to start my own channel soon! Keep inspiring!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your story. I think you're right that the only way to fail is to give up - and even then, it might be the best choice for you to make. 📸
📸 another brilliant and motivational video! It's so refreshing how you can make a living off TH-cam indirectly. I think this will definitely encourage more people to start a youtube channel or that one thing they've been wanting to do for a long time
📸 I started my channel, Money, Mindset & Minimal-ish 2 months ago. It was so hard to pluck up the courage because I was scared of being judged, even though I’ve wanted to do this for years. It’s hard when you put so much time and effort into creating quality content that no one watches, but I try to have faith that one day I’ll be like you and looking back and when I started and how far I’ve come. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you Katie for all your tips, and for just being you. You’re such a positive, uplifting and generous person, and you deserve all the good things in life.
Just starting my channel after having wanted to start it since 2014! Just posted my first video last week and excited and nervous for what is to happen
📸 end of video club! Woohoo!! Loved the video so helpful!! I’m in the same position with photography. I’m leaving the business side of it but that skill translates into so much more! I’m helping a friend do real estate, lighting for my TH-cam videos, etc.
📸I finally got tired of sitting and wondering and started my TH-cam journey a few months ago. The weird thing is I am not a camera person and would normally get and be like "oh I need to give up or let it be when i do not receive any views" but I haven't its like just keep going so it's def been working on a more positive mindset for me.
📷I'm sure glad I stuck around until the end. I've been dreaming of starting my channel for years, and now I have my first 10 subscribers 😆 Imposter syndrome sucks, but your video is encouraging. I'm gonna go watch more 😍
As a new content creator I am still dreaming for my first 500 subscribers. I am in my mid 20s and still feel a bit LOST but bit by bit I figure out life and I share about it in my channel and hopefully inspire others like me too. Your video is inspiring! Thank you for the motivation. Hoping for the best!
📷 thank you for sharing your story Katie. So many people have a ‘I blew up in a year’ narrative, and it can be disheartening if you are at the beginning of the journey. Being able to witness your story keeps me focused and inspired to get more videos together as a creativity coach and artist - and I am totally prepared to commit to it even if it takes years. ✨
📸 thank you Katie im a 50 something TH-camr who started my channel to do exactly what you said! Document my travels and interests (mostly for my family and eventually myself to look back on) ive just today reached 5000 subs and im making next to no money but I’ve learned a whole host of new skills like editing etc and am enjoying every minute. Keep up the inspirational videos i for one love them. Right off to find your van life channel….
📸 Definitely found YT was great to learn fun new skills (thank you Katie!) and confidence building - my channel is still new (June) and 'very niche', but I set it up to help my former staff with advice/learning and so it's fun for me, and my colleagues use my channel as a way "into my brain" 📸

Totally agree - TH-cam is great for building self-confidence, making friends, and photo/video storage (it’s free).
What a fantastic story! It is such a good platform. I posted my first few videos expecting 0 vies and I just surpassed 1000 a couple days ago!
📸 Love this video so so much! You are one of my biggest inspirations and it was just the push I needed to FINALLY begin creating and not just consume. xoxo
Looking forward to this. As I'm so new and have 13 subscribers these videos are encouraging. 🙏
