Starting a TH-cam channel. I have been thinking about it for 10 years or something. I just don’t have the courage to do it! Anyway, thank you for your inspiring talk 😊.
@@wellwithdorain 2024 I have started my psychopathic abuse recovery ❤️🩹 mind and body transformation. I am overcoming my fears every single day. Today was day 22 of my journey. I overcame fear to speak up twice today: 1st at hair salon -I made everyone laugh and 2nd time - I spoke up to my abusive neighbour's who were threatening me. Usually I just silent but today I pushed myself and I feel proud.
My friend gave me the best life changing advice for a new TH-camr. "It could have been sooner, but it could have been later." So start now. Enjoy the journey. The starting is the best part. You are finding your voice. It's incredible. Good luck!
“What am I doing here? I’m sharing myself, I’m sharing my energy”. We gotta do this first and foremost for ourselves, mostly for ourselves as a way to honour our own innate right to be, to express whatever we’ve brought to share and give to the world. I’ve been procrastinating creating my channel precisely because of the fear of sharing who I am, fear of opening up, fear of blossoming into the world. People can be really fucking cruel and the more sensitive one is the less encouraged they feel to get exposed and judged. I’m much closer than I’ve ever been though. The awful lot of shadow work I’ve done is bringing fruitful results. Thank you for this very necessary video.
"You didn't start way back when. What's the point of starting now?" That is exactly what stops so many of us from starting anything! When I hear that voice inside say that I immediately tell it to shut up! Thanks for pointing that out!
More like battles between you and you lol. The strong and confident side tells you “You can do it!”, but the opposite side says many negative things and discourages you from achieving your goals, no matter how small they are. 🫠
I've been doing youtube since the beginning of 2021.. My channel has been sooooo slow in terms of growth, but I've LOVED every second of filming, editing, getting creative etc etc.. I didn't once let me lack of views or subscribers demotivate me, because I genuinely enjoy creating content. That being said, literally about 20 mins ago I reached 1000 subscribers!!! It feels so weird, but also so good :)) The growth I've seen in your channel over the last few days is INSANE!! I'm so happy for you!! You 100000% deserve it xxxx
Congratulations! It is a great achievement, plus your viewers are huge and that ratio is key. You will explode soon, TH-cam-metaphorically, of course :) by the way, also just subbed to you ❤
@@serinadelmar6012 omfg the way I’ve been sooo so sad today because my pms has been INSANE, but your comment has literally flipped my day 🥹 that’s SO so sweet of you, thank you SO MUCH for your kind words 😭❤️ and for subscribing omg thanks for joining my silly little journeyyyy😩xxxx
@@AnaMariax bless your heart ♥️ (and sweet girl, we are so in sync :) so sorry you been having a tough one, happy to have brought a little joy, you deserve it though, don’t forget that bit. I’ve got you on all notifications joy so I don’t miss anything and honoured to be part of your journey. 🥰 hang in there, as however hard it might be in this moment, good things are coming, the light cannot exist without the dark, nor the stars shine without darkness. I think when things get overwhelming sometimes it’s just good to give yourself a break, remember all you’ve done to get to where you are now, an achievement of itself, and ask what is reasonable in this moment. Personally, I think TH-cam/Netflix, a hot water bottle, chocolate and knowing that tomorrow is a whole new day ♥️ much love, look after you, and I can’t wait to see more of your offerings.
It is so crazy to see how all of us creators stories at the beggining are so similar, and is so cool to see other peeople overcoming it, really cool that you shared it
@@josiahamaze depending on priorities you might have, make an effort to schedule intentional time (daily or weekly) for you channel. even if its just 30 mins thinking about a concept video and the juices will start flowing.
How do you avoid looking at Likes and Dislikes, i struggle to not look here, and often it depress me Rip. I literary make 30 mins of video, where i had fun recording and editing, plus the project costed me lots of money, and time, and i had to learn to edit and all that crp... And there is somehow peoples reaching to dislike me.. How. You seem to be very advanced.@@raihana.onfilm
Here another super newbie on TH-cam and I relate so much with your thoughts on being a ‘smaller’ content creator! I think we really need to treasure the genuine attitude you mentioned when creating new videos. Like, nobody is expecting nothing from us, and we have so much space to challenge ourselves, try new things, talk about things we love and value.
I'm so glad you relate! This is literally something that I appreciate so much as a new creator because it is a type of freedom that some "big" TH-camrs don't really have sometimes. Some do of course! And it all comes with its positives and negatives, but I consider it such a huge upside for smaller channels. Rooting for you to keep going! Thanks for the thoughtful comment! ♥️
exactly, from another small content creator here, I second this right now I am loving the content I am making, I uploaded one yesterday actually which I thing is one of my best one
As a new TH-camr with just 23 subscribers and also an introvert I relate with the part of thinking a content idea is perfect and also thinking it's not the next minute. That and being comfortable vlogging outside my room has been my biggest struggle. Don't get subscribers or views but am really great full to God that I actually started in the first place
I totally hear you about “YT being a place where people can be heard even when they feel they aren’t being heard in life”. Love this! ❤❤❤. All the best for you!
This is a really inspiring video, not because it blew up, but because it really proves that appreciating the scale of human connection through the internet has been lost. Thanks for bringing it back.
I think what strikes me about your video is your earnestness and sincerity in telling your story. You come across so genuinely and that is what grabs people's attention, at least it did for me. Essentially, you are telling everyone's story. I'm very happy for your success and hope you blow up....your channel that is lol! Congrats!
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! That was basically the first time where I kind of "got over" the fact that I'm talking to "people" and I think that took a lot of the tension off! Which probably came across more in the footage! Thank you so much ☺️
This is so sweet and encouraging 🥳 I have had some unexpected success on TikTok but with the potential ban, I know it's time to transition to TH-cam and I've just been terrified. The technology differences, building a new audience from scratch, finding a new format, etc are all so intimidating but I feel like it's possible.
Ooh that's so cool! I mean you have already proven to yourself that you can build an audience so that's already a plus I think! And I'm sure that plenty of people who follow you on TT would sub to your TH-cam if they knew you had a channel! What is there to lose? Go for it! ♥️
All the best to you.I have been doing TH-cam for three years now and only have a little over one thousand subscribers. My views tend to be just the hundreds not thousands. What keeps me going is a genuine passion for what I do and like you,I have struggled with time management given that I have a day job. I sometimes get writers block and can’t get any scripting done but you have inspired me to make more videos without worrying about the script to much. Thank you and good luck with your channel!
This was Inspirational, and proof that you're only ever 1 video away from breaking through. We get so caught up in our fear of taking chances, because its frustrating to think of putting in all the work, and failing. I had been stagnated in my TH-cam career in 2024, even though I started in 2006. I had been successful before, but I'd lost my way in doing what is easy, instead of taking chances. Thank you for this video. It's exactly what I needed to listen to this morning.
Same here. When I started I was mortified even to hear my own Voice in my videos 😂 now I am better. I can focus on how to actually make quality videos instead on my voice and face.
I’m also a new TH-camr with 20 subscribers . The hardest part was starting and I just did 5 days ago and I can tell you it’s worth it. It feels like therapy ❤
As an introvert sharing videos on TH-cam; it's such a beautiful tool to get to know ourselves more and inspire other introverts to remember we can be ourselves in the world and share our inteoverted selves 🌞 loved this video! Thanks Dora
This is INCREDIBLY thoughtful and helpful as a beginner. The first thing you said about encouraging introverts to pursue TH-cam if they’re interested really hit for me. There’s a lot of outlets that aren’t great for introverts and it’s exciting to realize this can be
OHHH I'm so glad you resonated with that part! That was a big turning point for me realizing that this doesn't have to be stressful like all of the other social media are (for me at least). I started seeing TH-cam as an advantage almost, where my introverted qualities can be actually well utilized.
That really hit hard when you said I have things to say but not being able to be heard in your day-to-day life. But now I'm slowly sharing what I love to do.
im also very introverted when it comes to making videos. taking my camera out in public is already nerve-wracking, i can't even film myself at home if i know my family can hear me. i've been so self conscious of starting my journey but i genuinely love the creative process so i'm definitely going to push myself this year! thank you for your insight and congrats on one year!!
I definitely suggest getting ahead. My channel is a baby channel and I had been thinking about a channel for many years. Two months before the new year, I started filming videos and getting them scheduled to make my channel happen. So when I started, I was two months ahead, procrastinated some, and now I'm a month ahead. It really takes away the weekly stress. I even got a whiteboard in my office with four video ideas that are the focus, so it's right in my face as a constant reminder. I am a very out of sight out of mind individual, so this is incredibly helpful and prevents me from getting overwhelmed. Loved your video!
I can relate to you on everything what you said . I felt the same way that every time I watch somebody I’m learning and I talk better. It’s like going to school and learn new stuff. It’s cool . Thank you for making this video!
I love the fact you mentioned how you see your talking skills & confidence improving. Using youtube as an outlet to learn to articulate yourself in a clear & concise manner. God bless. May you only continue to keep growing bigger and better. Love
This video doubled your subs to almost 1k in 5 days. This is an example of "let the algorithm do it's job" very common advice by youtubers. Good for you Dora. Subscribed! :)
This resonates with me deeply as an introvert. Even posting a single picture used to trigger anxiety in the past, and I'm glad I've overcome that. So, to everyone considering starting a channel, just go for it and don't overthink. You'll improve as you go along
Thank you SO much for posting this! My goal for the past 4 years has been to start a TH-cam channel, but I always talk myself out of it. But I finally filmed a silly little video, just to get started! Posting this Thursday - thanks for the extra little push 🥲
i can relate, ive been on the verge since i was in school now im 20 and i finally started posting !! it was about time 💝 i think support is the biggest contributor to continuing these kind of things :) good luck with your channel, i'll be waiting for the video
You have such a nice gentle yet confident vibe - what a pleasure to watch. And huge congrats on your first year of TH-cam! So amazing to see how this video took off and boosted your channel. I'm a massive introvert and find it extremely difficult to talk on camera in front of anyone. But my husband (also an introvert) and I started our channel 2 years ago and it's mostly travel-based, so it's kind of unavoidable. I think our vlogs could be SO much better if we had the confidence to talk to (and in front of) other people, so I'm really going to try to work on this. On a personal note, I've really been wanting to start my own channel for YEARS and always talk myself out of it, but watching your vlog has really made me feel motivated. Who cares if I only get 50 people watching? Who cares if I look stupid? What's important is building my own self-confidence and doing something that I can be proud of. Thank you for this, looking forward to following your trip to Spain.
Thank you so much ♥️ I totally get you, just now after the trip to Spain do I feel slightly more at ease talking in front of my husband haha! Definitely go for your own channel too if that is something that you'd enjoy! The benefits are so amazing! Rooting for you guys and your own personal channel! ♥️
This Video was showing up on my feed for this entire week and I finally watched it , I agree with everything you are saying 😊 I personally started posting serious YT this year and I'm enjoying it a lot looking forward to gain more subscribers and share my art with people ❤ Your Video made me realize that I have to be grateful that I'm taking YT seriously ❤😊
I started my TH-cam channel a few months ago after a long time of contemplating. This video just motivated me to continue because I find it so daunting sometimes. I was part of a religious group that discouraged us from expressing ourselves freely, especially on social media, but I have slowly been letting go of that fear. Thank you so much. Lots of love- South Africa❤
@callumbrohn and @kekeNtshasa I am from Eswatini 🇸🇿 and it’s even harder this side to grow a channel, there’s not much exposure hence my channel has grown slowly but gradually but I love it here
I totally agree! 100 people is a heck lot of people! Each subscriber counts. I’m also on a journey to grow my small foodie TH-cam channel! It’s a lot of hard work especially in the beginning as you could feel like you put in so much effort for so little reward. But that’s okay because as long as my videos can inspire even one person then that is enough. Congrats on your channel growth, it’s amazing to see! You deserve it ❤
Thank you for the encouragement! I've been doing TH-cam for quite some time now, and its really frustrating at times cause videos dont perform well. But then I remind myself I keep making videos because it makes me happy, and I think that's what's important :)) I feel less anxious now when I'm going somewhere alone, because I film it. Although I still feel shy filming in public, but I feel like vlogging is really helping me ease my social anxiety. I know I've a long way to go, a lot to learn, and I'll try my best to improve and do better. I'll never give up
I get you girl. I was on IG for a long time and it was really demotivating to create but not see a "return". Then I realised I just hated creating for IG. Making YT videos is fun even if nobody watches haha. So as long as you're getting something out of it personally, then it's so worth it to keep going! Rooting for you and you channel ♥️
@@wellwithdora You're so right! I prefer Yt over ig too! Creating content for yt is almost therapeutic to me. Because it's a platform where I can express myself in a creative way. And thank you for your kind words💜 I'm trying my best. Hopefully, someday, my dream will come true💜
The one reason I started a channel was to challenge myself and improve my personality, the channel on its own has been slow but I’ve personally grown so much😊
I’ve been on TH-cam for 7 years and I’ve loved it so much! It finally feels like this year is going to be the year I do hit 10k, 40k, etc! I’m so excited for 2024! Best wishes to you friend! I can’t wait to see more of your videos
Yes, you are so right, for us it is also still embarrassing to vlog outside because the people are starring at you. Especially here in Switzerland it is not easy to vlog outside. I wish you all the best with your channel. I really enjoyed listening to this video ❤
Omg absolutely! That's why I kind of chose a vacation spot to vlog outside for the first time because I think it would be just too hard in Austria. But that's my next challenge :')) Thank you so much, likewise!! ♥️
I just started my yt channel and kinda feel ridiculous making content but hearing your perspective after a year of yt is so refreshing and inspiring!! congratssss🙌🙌
Dora...you're adorable. THANK YOU! Very much needed some of this. I'm in the process right now...with my camera in the living room and all that...READY to begin. My goal is to begin uploading TH-cam Videos on my WORK HARD PLAY HARD TH-cam channel. I have a few low-key, design videos for a few designs...but that was just to keep me busy creating, instead of sitting idle. Congratulations to all your success thus far. I'm not 100% sure where the hell I'm gonna end up with my videos and what the hell I'm even gonna GENUINELY talk about. The key word being "genuinely". 👊 PS: Oh yeah, i am an introvert as well.
This video is so inspiring. As a brand new You Tuber starting at the age of 60 I have had so much self doubt and conflict as to what the heck I was doing. Who wants to listen to an old lady like me😊. But you remind me to just keep moving forward and the confidence will come in time. I am terrible about scripting and will lose track of what I meant to say every time. Will be watching your vlogging journey !
I felt the same but don’t be discouraged. Your first few videos may not be great but you will improve over time. You learn by doing. Make videos that you yourself are proud of. Everything else is a bonus
Ah I love this! First of all, congrats! I’m also an introvert and have thought about doing YT for over 7 years and never did anything about it… I filmed videos being like “yess I could post this” but never did 😭 It’s so difficult because I’m so afraid of being seen(?)/judgement from mothers but it’s inevitable as a content creator..
I get you but tbh if I hadn't keep going I don't know where I would be I have fallen in love with editing and helping others I would encourage you to continue
I really get that. I wish I could tell you that that fear goes away, but I haven't noticed it decrease much since I started. But that also doesn't have to stop you from starting! The cool thing is: you can be afraid AND start. Figure out the rest along the way. People who judge you for doing something that you truly want to do are not the people whose opinion would matter to you anyway, right? So just go for it! Rooting for you! ♥️
I feel like as an introvert you film so much content and never put it out. I relate so well to this comment and yes because my consistency was amiss and my growth slow. But I’ve been greatly encouraged by this
dora, i resonated with this video on such a deep level!! you have no idea how much i enjoyed watching you talking about this. as an introvert myself, i felt hesitant starting social media, especially because i hate being perceived... but i love filming and editing! 🥰 from the bottom of my heart, thank you for inspiring small creators like me 😍
I'm so thrilled to hear that!! I totally get what you mean and I do think that TH-cam is a bit different that other social media platforms, kind of more suitable for us introverts I believe. Thank you for such a thoughtful comment!
YT recc'd this for me and i'm loving your honesty and style. bloopers at the end is so chefkiss because it reminds me of how they do that in the movies so kudos on that. also congrats on the anniversary of your channel also that your subs increased! oh and your points are so valid and the biggest takeaway from a YT journey is seeing yourself grow on camera through the years.
Thank you for such a nice comment 🥹♥️ I'm so happy you enjoyed the bloopers because I LOVE them, I feel like every movie should just come with an additional 30-minute blooper reel! Definitely one of the best parts of being on YT journey, we think we didn't change much over the course of a few months or even a year but then it's so surprising to see just how MUCH of a change we actually went through.
@@wellwithdora you are most welcome and wishing you all the best on your YT journey! ✨✨✨ honestly, you did inspire me to start or restart lol since I've been thinking of tubing since 2017 too started a bit then quit but we'll see how it goes this time.
This is exactly what I needed. It's 11:25 pm and I have been up all night trying to write up notes and put together my first scripts. I needed a little break and here you are encouraging me to keep it up! Thank you! HAPPY 1st BDAY!
Awesome video. I am small TH-camr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Famester, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).
thanks to youtube for showing me your videos, I feel good vibes here, and thanks to you because I had my youtube journey back in 2016, but I stopped. Finding myself with the question "Where would I be right now If I had never left youtube?" haunts me. But that's a good thing, because I needed to put things into perspective, thanks!!
Only good vibes allowed hehe! I totally feel you, as I said in the video that exact thought has been blocking me from starting the journey up again. But I'm glad that you also have a fresh perspective now! Thank you ☺️
Congratulations on starting your TH-cam journey! One year in is a huge milestone! I'm so proud of you for having the courage to start a TH-cam channel! Good luck with your TH-cam journey! And good luck with the future growth of your channel! Have a great day!
Omggg i absolutely loved it!!! As a dancer i have recently started to post videos as well but just the shorts for now. Thank you so much because this was definitely a push that i didn’t know i needed. Also love the part where you said how we have one super idea and then after 2 days how we think it so dumb because girl same i have felt that way my entire life and i end up doing literally nothing. So i hope this changes for all of us thiss year!!! Congratulations on hitting 1000 subscribers
I watched ur dance videos and they are super good, as someone who is also a small content creator I totally agree with the idea thingy 😆 like why brain
Congratulations! This video came to me at the perfect time I’ve been wanting to make a channel and seeing your video is giving me that renewed motivation
You have such a beautiful voice. I listened to this video twice in the background while working just for that, lol. It also shows you're an introvert - great vocabulary, impeccable grammar, you're an inspiration. All the best to you!
Thank you so so much 🥹♥️ I'm glad you phrased it like that because that's what perhaps some people don't really understand, this video "blew up" but without the whole year of trials and failures it wouldn't have happened.
YES YES AND YES! i love what you said about introvert life being a conversation inside your head. i definitely feel that, and using youtube i do think that i am able to finally bring others into that conversation. i love everything about this video
That is amazing starting from 100 and now. Nothing si stoping me I started long ago but didn't realise I have the potential you have shared. Less than 10 but now I know it's possible you are amazing. We can make it newcomers!
This is so inspiring!! TH-cam is so challenging but wonderful. I’ve been working on my channel for 3 years and just recently started gaining some momentum. I’m also shy and talking infront of the camera has weirdly helped me break out of my shell a little more and figure out what really makes me, me. The hard work and consistency really pays off! Keep going girl! 💪 Happy to support.
I love that you’ve touched on the experience for introverts! The first time I tried to speak in my video I felt so defeated because I knew what I wanted to say but it wasn’t coming out the way I wanted. Second try, I made some bullet points and it was better. Still some moments of “ not knowing where my sentence is going “ 😅 but much much better! Thank you for this ❤
oh wow you have a art channel as well, so do I. I am so conscious about talking to the camera that i only upload shorts and processes of my drawing 😅 btw your videos are amazing.
Absolutely agree with you 😊 even uploading a new video feels like a small achievement 🙌🏻 if you think you “only” have 200 subscribers - that’s 200 people!!! who truly want to watch your content 😊
It absolutely does! Oh for sure, it's a lot and it exceeded my expectations already! I just think about if I had to talk in front of that many people put together in a room all at once, what kind of a meltdown I'd have :')
It's also helpful to think of views as people in a room. Equanimity is important, if a video starts doing very well and then the following tanks it is easy to get demotivated. Let's say the first vid got 1k views in a week and the second one got 100, that's still 100 people in a room that you addressed. I can't remember what channel made that analogy but it stuck with me
You have no idea how many videos I unlisted because of some weird feeling of ''not being good enough'' or some higher expectations of myself that no one else really cared about. And at the beginning of this year, I listed them again. And looking at them now, I feel SO PROUD of myself, considering that was almost 3 years ago, and I had no idea how to edit properly and make good art in general 😆 I remember feeling super awkward in front of a camera, but I did it anyway. Looking back at them and myself, I really didn't think of a ''perfect video'', amazing edit, and whatever, I was just creating and enjoying... And that's what I'm bringing back this year! 🔥 And I must thank you for this amazing video, you really motivated me even more! I wish you all the luck with this channel and your passion and congrats on your 1st anniversary and milestone 🏆✨ edit: btw, What kind of mic do you use? I'm looking for a small mic and yours sounds really good 😬
The moment where you checked if you were filming at 8:41 with a quick “Gawwwdamnit” was so hilariously relatable. 😂 I’m glad you kept that in! Great video! Congratulations on your growth since posting this!
I so vivdly remember watching this back at the beginning of 2024, it just so happened to appear on my home page just now. I don't know you but I am so incredibly happy for you and how far you've come at just a glance right now! I wish you success in any way that you define it and a lovely journey ahead
Thank you for your inspiration Dora! Just getting started. Only 4 subscribers so far, but definitely committed to being successful. It is a marathan, not a race.
This is the first time I see you and I dont even know what content you make but I already love you. And im so happy to see that this video is 4months old but you have 12’+ subs. This gave me inspiration. I’ve been feeling low and having no motivation and I dont know what to do in life as im not sucseeding as an artist, somehow this just lifted my spirit and gave me some hope. Also I love to see more artists who’s first language isn’t english make content where they speak to camera.
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment, it literally means the world to me ♥️ Happy to hear that it lifted your spirits and I really hope you continue creating and believing in yourself!
I've just came across your video today and it's so amazing to see how much your channel has grown! ☺ thank you so much for sharing more about your TH-cam journey and being honest about it. I find that a lot creators who make it struggle to remember challenges of being a fresh TH-camr and sometimes their videos don't come across as relatable. But yours is soooo relatable! Keep up amazing work!
Thank you for making this video! I took a break from TH-cam for 7 years as well and now about to start posting again with 500 subscribers, just to see how you have gone from 500 to 10k in 3 months is super inspiring and keeps me motivated to grind harder this year
My fav part about such videos blowing up is knowing that we're supporting a passionate small creator. Love to you and to everyone trying. LET'S DO THIS!
What is something you'd like to overcome/challenge yourself to do in 2024?
Making a TH-cam chanel x-x if I do in a year from then I'll be talking about how you inspired me :3
Love that! Just go for it, and I'll be eagerly waiting to see you celebrate your channel's first birthday! @@YedidahMVO
Starting a TH-cam channel. I have been thinking about it for 10 years or something. I just don’t have the courage to do it!
Anyway, thank you for your inspiring talk 😊.
@@wellwithdorain 2024 I have started my psychopathic abuse recovery ❤️🩹 mind and body transformation. I am overcoming my fears every single day. Today was day 22 of my journey. I overcame fear to speak up twice today: 1st at hair salon -I made everyone laugh and 2nd time - I spoke up to my abusive neighbour's who were threatening me. Usually I just silent but today I pushed myself and I feel proud.
@@wellwithdora also challenge myself to work out every single day. I have online boxing coach and he helps me to stay accountable ❤
My friend gave me the best life changing advice for a new TH-camr. "It could have been sooner, but it could have been later." So start now. Enjoy the journey. The starting is the best part. You are finding your voice. It's incredible. Good luck!
“That’s heck of a lot of people” touched my heart. Followers are people and a hundred people is a lot of people. It’s important not to forget.
This line stuck out to me so much! And you're exactly right, that is a lot of people!
yup!
This is so true, everyone who likes what you're doing IS someone and that's huge
I completely agree! ✨💜✨💜✨
I agree ❤
“What am I doing here? I’m sharing myself, I’m sharing my energy”. We gotta do this first and foremost for ourselves, mostly for ourselves as a way to honour our own innate right to be, to express whatever we’ve brought to share and give to the world. I’ve been procrastinating creating my channel precisely because of the fear of sharing who I am, fear of opening up, fear of blossoming into the world. People can be really fucking cruel and the more sensitive one is the less encouraged they feel to get exposed and judged. I’m much closer than I’ve ever been though. The awful lot of shadow work I’ve done is bringing fruitful results. Thank you for this very necessary video.
This aged well for only 2 months. You are up 9,000+ subs sheeeesh 🎉
She is at 11.3k as I type this.
@@Rated-aria crazyyy huh love that for her
@@Rated-aria 13K now Yayyyy
So awesome to see how impactful just one great video can be!
@@JessicaFranco1 13.1k Jan 2025 - very inspiring. How much have you all grown since you commented here? Hope lots!
"You didn't start way back when. What's the point of starting now?" That is exactly what stops so many of us from starting anything! When I hear that voice inside say that I immediately tell it to shut up! Thanks for pointing that out!
This is a proof that you are 1 video away to grow your channel, so never give up
I love this 😊
Totally! And if we never make that next video we 'll never know how it might have played out! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you, I really needed to hear that. ❤
trueee!!
Agree much ❤
"My whole life is basically a conversation happening inside my head." - YES
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
More like battles between you and you lol. The strong and confident side tells you “You can do it!”, but the opposite side says many negative things and discourages you from achieving your goals, no matter how small they are. 🫠
For all the new TH-camrs like myself just starting your channel, I wish you nothing but the best, let’s keep going 😊
Thank you! You too! ♥️
Thank you so much love ❤
Thank you so much, I also wish you the best🥹
I'm included in this comment. Yayyyyyýy
Same here!!
This is a pure proof that me with my 56 subscribers can do it , I'm trusting the process
Same as here, oh my God plz help us to grow
Saaame
You can girl keep going!
Same but at 0, so can only go up from here right?!
@@Melopipi-qd1rl great attitude! Below zero is left for Antarctica ;)
So you had less than 200 subscribers a few months ago?? This is AMAZING
very very amazing and interesting , the algorithm really is something
Woo! 5 days later and your subscribers have gone up nearly 10x!
Well done 👏🏻👏🏻
This is very encouraging. TH-cam just keeps promoting this video. I stumbled upon it today (9days later) and she has 4.37K subscribers 🤯
@@alinabelousova16 hrs later and 4.59K 🤯👏
@@VoicesofTaniaWhaaat?! 😲
4.76K at day 10! 😮🎉 The algorithm loves this one 😄
@@Christen-G yes, one vid can change it all as they say :))
I've been doing youtube since the beginning of 2021.. My channel has been sooooo slow in terms of growth, but I've LOVED every second of filming, editing, getting creative etc etc.. I didn't once let me lack of views or subscribers demotivate me, because I genuinely enjoy creating content. That being said, literally about 20 mins ago I reached 1000 subscribers!!! It feels so weird, but also so good :)) The growth I've seen in your channel over the last few days is INSANE!! I'm so happy for you!! You 100000% deserve it xxxx
Congratulations! It is a great achievement, plus your viewers are huge and that ratio is key. You will explode soon, TH-cam-metaphorically, of course :) by the way, also just subbed to you ❤
@@serinadelmar6012 omfg the way I’ve been sooo so sad today because my pms has been INSANE, but your comment has literally flipped my day 🥹 that’s SO so sweet of you, thank you SO MUCH for your kind words 😭❤️ and for subscribing omg thanks for joining my silly little journeyyyy😩xxxx
@@AnaMariax bless your heart ♥️ (and sweet girl, we are so in sync :) so sorry you been having a tough one, happy to have brought a little joy, you deserve it though, don’t forget that bit. I’ve got you on all notifications joy so I don’t miss anything and honoured to be part of your journey. 🥰 hang in there, as however hard it might be in this moment, good things are coming, the light cannot exist without the dark, nor the stars shine without darkness. I think when things get overwhelming sometimes it’s just good to give yourself a break, remember all you’ve done to get to where you are now, an achievement of itself, and ask what is reasonable in this moment. Personally, I think TH-cam/Netflix, a hot water bottle, chocolate and knowing that tomorrow is a whole new day ♥️ much love, look after you, and I can’t wait to see more of your offerings.
@@serinadelmar6012 you are just the brightest little ray of sunshine!✨ thank you so so so much ❤️❤️ look after yourself too angelll xx
Yess same!!! I loooove having a channel 😂
Introverts of the world unite!...separately🙃❤
😂😅
LOL I love this comment
😂😂😂
Haha separately
Ahahahahaha omg 😂😂😂😂
You’re amazing!!!
It is so crazy to see how all of us creators stories at the beggining are so similar, and is so cool to see other peeople overcoming it, really cool that you shared it
That's so true, no matter what "scale" we're at, we all generally have a similar start. We all had to start from somewhere! thank you!!
I'm number 1000 subscriber 😄 congratulations 🎉🎊 keep up the good work 💪🙏and wish you All the best 🤞
you are a legend.
I learned that consistency is key. forget a schedule, just keep posting when you can!
Same! Have any tricks to make it easier?
@@josiahamaze depending on priorities you might have, make an effort to schedule intentional time (daily or weekly) for you channel. even if its just 30 mins thinking about a concept video and the juices will start flowing.
@@raihana.onfilm Very solid advice. Thank you!
❤😊
How do you avoid looking at Likes and Dislikes, i struggle to not look here, and often it depress me Rip. I literary make 30 mins of video, where i had fun recording and editing, plus the project costed me lots of money, and time, and i had to learn to edit and all that crp... And there is somehow peoples reaching to dislike me.. How. You seem to be very advanced.@@raihana.onfilm
Here another super newbie on TH-cam and I relate so much with your thoughts on being a ‘smaller’ content creator! I think we really need to treasure the genuine attitude you mentioned when creating new videos. Like, nobody is expecting nothing from us, and we have so much space to challenge ourselves, try new things, talk about things we love and value.
I'm so glad you relate! This is literally something that I appreciate so much as a new creator because it is a type of freedom that some "big" TH-camrs don't really have sometimes. Some do of course! And it all comes with its positives and negatives, but I consider it such a huge upside for smaller channels. Rooting for you to keep going! Thanks for the thoughtful comment! ♥️
exactly, from another small content creator here, I second this
right now I am loving the content I am making, I uploaded one yesterday actually which I thing is one of my best one
I love this attitude! It's so easy to get demotivated because of our own expectations but in reality we're the only ones setting the high expectations
agree@@purrwithus
As a new TH-camr with just 23 subscribers and also an introvert I relate with the part of thinking a content idea is perfect and also thinking it's not the next minute. That and being comfortable vlogging outside my room has been my biggest struggle. Don't get subscribers or views but am really great full to God that I actually started in the first place
I totally hear you about “YT being a place where people can be heard even when they feel they aren’t being heard in life”. Love this! ❤❤❤. All the best for you!
I’m a new 68 year old TH-camr. Your video was so honest & inspiring. Just subscribed.
Thank you so much!! 🌷
@@newjiva well done! 😁👍🏼
@@newjiva @retirementbudgettravel699 I followed you both! Yay! Welcome! 🤗
@@retirementbudgettravel699like the name! Good luck on your channel, I just started mine also hehe😊
congrats on starting your channel!
@@fonsecarichard Awwww!! Thank you so much!! 😁👍🏼
This is a really inspiring video, not because it blew up, but because it really proves that appreciating the scale of human connection through the internet has been lost. Thanks for bringing it back.
I think what strikes me about your video is your earnestness and sincerity in telling your story. You come across so genuinely and that is what grabs people's attention, at least it did for me. Essentially, you are telling everyone's story. I'm very happy for your success and hope you blow up....your channel that is lol! Congrats!
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! That was basically the first time where I kind of "got over" the fact that I'm talking to "people" and I think that took a lot of the tension off! Which probably came across more in the footage! Thank you so much ☺️
This is so sweet and encouraging 🥳 I have had some unexpected success on TikTok but with the potential ban, I know it's time to transition to TH-cam and I've just been terrified. The technology differences, building a new audience from scratch, finding a new format, etc are all so intimidating but I feel like it's possible.
Ooh that's so cool! I mean you have already proven to yourself that you can build an audience so that's already a plus I think! And I'm sure that plenty of people who follow you on TT would sub to your TH-cam if they knew you had a channel! What is there to lose? Go for it! ♥️
All the best to you.I have been doing TH-cam for three years now and only have a little over one thousand subscribers. My views tend to be just the hundreds not thousands.
What keeps me going is a genuine passion for what I do and like you,I have struggled with time management given that I have a day job. I sometimes get writers block and can’t get any scripting done but you have inspired me to make more videos without worrying about the script to much. Thank you and good luck with your channel!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you got value from the video! ♥️
now you have 6.66K in two weeks girrrrrrl CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! You got this! Road to 10k !! 🥳
Thank youuuu so much I can't believe it genuinely ♥️
This was Inspirational, and proof that you're only ever 1 video away from breaking through. We get so caught up in our fear of taking chances, because its frustrating to think of putting in all the work, and failing. I had been stagnated in my TH-cam career in 2024, even though I started in 2006. I had been successful before, but I'd lost my way in doing what is easy, instead of taking chances. Thank you for this video. It's exactly what I needed to listen to this morning.
that's great introspection
As a fellow introvert, I can confirm doing TH-cam has shifted around my introvert-edness lol
omg same
Same here. When I started I was mortified even to hear my own Voice in my videos 😂 now I am better. I can focus on how to actually make quality videos instead on my voice and face.
agree 😊@@DIYyourlife365
same!!
same!
I’m also a new TH-camr with 20 subscribers . The hardest part was starting and I just did 5 days ago and I can tell you it’s worth it. It feels like therapy ❤
As you said: the hardest part is behind you and I'm so happy for you that you started! Rooting for you! ♥️
so trueee, it is like therapy
and the hardest thing is always to get started on a project, but the results are always so rewarding
I love this Milestone Video Idea. New TH-camr 😅 also figuring it out
Hey! is it not required to have 1000 subscribers and 4k hours watch in ONE year so as to avoid it being a dead channel?
@@monalgupta5281 I think so yeah
As an introvert sharing videos on TH-cam; it's such a beautiful tool to get to know ourselves more and inspire other introverts to remember we can be ourselves in the world and share our inteoverted selves 🌞 loved this video! Thanks Dora
We can do it with support we have for each other! Lol!
So so true! It's a wonderful experience and I'm so glad so many fellow introverts can relate ♥️
Your account grew so much in the past couple months! Congrats !! And happy birthday to your yt chanel 🎉
Thank you so much!! ♥️
This is INCREDIBLY thoughtful and helpful as a beginner. The first thing you said about encouraging introverts to pursue TH-cam if they’re interested really hit for me. There’s a lot of outlets that aren’t great for introverts and it’s exciting to realize this can be
OHHH I'm so glad you resonated with that part! That was a big turning point for me realizing that this doesn't have to be stressful like all of the other social media are (for me at least). I started seeing TH-cam as an advantage almost, where my introverted qualities can be actually well utilized.
That really hit hard when you said I have things to say but not being able to be heard in your day-to-day life. But now I'm slowly sharing what I love to do.
im also very introverted when it comes to making videos. taking my camera out in public is already nerve-wracking, i can't even film myself at home if i know my family can hear me. i've been so self conscious of starting my journey but i genuinely love the creative process so i'm definitely going to push myself this year! thank you for your insight and congrats on one year!!
You got this 💪 can’t wait to see your new videos ☺️🩵
"I hope that when you stumble across challenges, you keep going, because it definitely is worth it." - thank you, this made me cry
Words I need to hear basically on a daily basis myself! Glad they resonated ♥️ Hope you're doing good!
im an introvert, and all the things you've said are just on point. The voices and lots of convos we do in our minds and when we are alone.
I definitely suggest getting ahead. My channel is a baby channel and I had been thinking about a channel for many years. Two months before the new year, I started filming videos and getting them scheduled to make my channel happen. So when I started, I was two months ahead, procrastinated some, and now I'm a month ahead. It really takes away the weekly stress. I even got a whiteboard in my office with four video ideas that are the focus, so it's right in my face as a constant reminder. I am a very out of sight out of mind individual, so this is incredibly helpful and prevents me from getting overwhelmed. Loved your video!
Omg I have to get on that. It sounds like a dream to be ahead and not have to think of the next upload immediately! Thank you for sharing!! ♥️
Sending love from another small creator!!! 🤌🏻
Happy One Year! What a lovely, down to earth video. We need more people like you on this platform.
I can relate to you on everything what you said . I felt the same way that every time I watch somebody I’m learning and I talk better. It’s like going to school and learn new stuff. It’s cool . Thank you for making this video!
Right?! It's crazy how to see yourself evolve from video to video and learn new things. I find it super fun! Thank you! ♥️
I love the fact you mentioned how you see your talking skills & confidence improving. Using youtube as an outlet to learn to articulate yourself in a clear & concise manner. God bless. May you only continue to keep growing bigger and better. Love
Thank you so much!! ♥️
As a new, introverted youtuber that started posting in 2023, thanks for sharing your journey! Congratulations on your success! 🎉
Thank you babe! Can't wait to see your channel grow!! ♥️
I just watched some of your videos and really enjoyed them xx
@@lauralouisetaylor2726 awe thank you! that means a lot 🤎
This video doubled your subs to almost 1k in 5 days. This is an example of "let the algorithm do it's job" very common advice by youtubers. Good for you Dora. Subscribed! :)
I just found this and it's over 4k 😳
She’s at over 6k now🎉 that moment I have no clue how the algorithm works but I’m learning 😊
100+ to 2K subscribers within a week of posting this! 😮 big congrats! Keep it up! 😊
This resonates with me deeply as an introvert. Even posting a single picture used to trigger anxiety in the past, and I'm glad I've overcome that. So, to everyone considering starting a channel, just go for it and don't overthink. You'll improve as you go along
Girl I just noticed your subscriber count is going up like crazy I’m so excited for you!! You fkn did it 👏
Thank you SO much for posting this! My goal for the past 4 years has been to start a TH-cam channel, but I always talk myself out of it. But I finally filmed a silly little video, just to get started! Posting this Thursday - thanks for the extra little push 🥲
Wishing you all the BESt and success❤
You got this 💪🏻🩵
i can relate, ive been on the verge since i was in school now im 20 and i finally started posting !! it was about time 💝 i think support is the biggest contributor to continuing these kind of things :) good luck with your channel, i'll be waiting for the video
will be waiting for the video
as someone who started with a little filming challenge which was quite silly now I have fallen in love with it
You're welcome! I'm so happy you're inspired to start, GO FOR IT GIRL! Can't wait to see your first video! ♥️
You have such a nice gentle yet confident vibe - what a pleasure to watch. And huge congrats on your first year of TH-cam! So amazing to see how this video took off and boosted your channel. I'm a massive introvert and find it extremely difficult to talk on camera in front of anyone. But my husband (also an introvert) and I started our channel 2 years ago and it's mostly travel-based, so it's kind of unavoidable. I think our vlogs could be SO much better if we had the confidence to talk to (and in front of) other people, so I'm really going to try to work on this.
On a personal note, I've really been wanting to start my own channel for YEARS and always talk myself out of it, but watching your vlog has really made me feel motivated. Who cares if I only get 50 people watching? Who cares if I look stupid? What's important is building my own self-confidence and doing something that I can be proud of. Thank you for this, looking forward to following your trip to Spain.
Thank you so much ♥️ I totally get you, just now after the trip to Spain do I feel slightly more at ease talking in front of my husband haha! Definitely go for your own channel too if that is something that you'd enjoy! The benefits are so amazing! Rooting for you guys and your own personal channel! ♥️
So true! Especially the overthinking part and inner critic 😁 I can definitely relate.
This Video was showing up on my feed for this entire week and I finally watched it , I agree with everything you are saying 😊 I personally started posting serious YT this year and I'm enjoying it a lot looking forward to gain more subscribers and share my art with people ❤
Your Video made me realize that I have to be grateful that I'm taking YT seriously ❤😊
cheering you on, from one creator to another! 🎉
Thank you so much!!! Wishing you all the best on your creator journey! ♥️
I started my TH-cam channel a few months ago after a long time of contemplating.
This video just motivated me to continue because I find it so daunting sometimes.
I was part of a religious group that discouraged us from expressing ourselves freely, especially on social media, but I have slowly been letting go of that fear.
Thank you so much.
Lots of love- South Africa❤
ayyy im South African too! Also starting to take TH-cam more seriously now. Good Luck!
@callumbrohn and @kekeNtshasa I am from Eswatini 🇸🇿 and it’s even harder this side to grow a channel, there’s not much exposure hence my channel has grown slowly but gradually but I love it here
I totally agree! 100 people is a heck lot of people! Each subscriber counts. I’m also on a journey to grow my small foodie TH-cam channel! It’s a lot of hard work especially in the beginning as you could feel like you put in so much effort for so little reward. But that’s okay because as long as my videos can inspire even one person then that is enough. Congrats on your channel growth, it’s amazing to see! You deserve it ❤
Yesss that's a great mindset to have! Wishing you the best with your channel! ♥️
Started back in 2020 , uploaded videos, changed themes and now I’m back again🙌🏽 just grateful to find your channel such an inspiration.
Welcome backkk!!! Happy that you decided to continue! Sometimes we all need a little revamp ♥️ Rooting for you babe!
I'm so proud of you! You didn't give up on this yt idea and that's incredibly inspiring ❣️
Thank youu my friend! ♥
God loves you! Repent and believe that Jesus paid the price for our sins! go to Jesus and he can give you mercy joy and peace and so much love!
Thank you for the encouragement! I've been doing TH-cam for quite some time now, and its really frustrating at times cause videos dont perform well. But then I remind myself I keep making videos because it makes me happy, and I think that's what's important :)) I feel less anxious now when I'm going somewhere alone, because I film it. Although I still feel shy filming in public, but I feel like vlogging is really helping me ease my social anxiety.
I know I've a long way to go, a lot to learn, and I'll try my best to improve and do better. I'll never give up
I get you girl. I was on IG for a long time and it was really demotivating to create but not see a "return". Then I realised I just hated creating for IG. Making YT videos is fun even if nobody watches haha. So as long as you're getting something out of it personally, then it's so worth it to keep going! Rooting for you and you channel ♥️
@_dayedream_ thank you for the encouragement love 💜 I won't give up :))
@@wellwithdora You're so right! I prefer Yt over ig too! Creating content for yt is almost therapeutic to me. Because it's a platform where I can express myself in a creative way. And thank you for your kind words💜 I'm trying my best. Hopefully, someday, my dream will come true💜
I so agree. Its helping me with my mental health with or without subscribers. Just subscribed to u hun x
I came from Mai’s story and I’m definitely staying for you! As an introvert, I love seeing other people like me on TH-cam! Loved the video!
The one reason I started a channel was to challenge myself and improve my personality, the channel on its own has been slow but I’ve personally grown so much😊
I’ve been on TH-cam for 7 years and I’ve loved it so much! It finally feels like this year is going to be the year I do hit 10k, 40k, etc! I’m so excited for 2024! Best wishes to you friend! I can’t wait to see more of your videos
OMG YES! I'm here for it, can't wait to witness it! Thank you so much, likewise!! ♥️
OK WAIT A SECOND I just checked out your channel and IMMEDIATE subscribe!! Love you vibe girl ANNNNNNND YOU'RE A DANCE TEACHER?!!! Yes please 🙏🏻
@@wellwithdora 😭🥹 and I’m working towards going professional with my dance career soon too!! ❤️ thank you thank you thank you!!!
Yes, you are so right, for us it is also still embarrassing to vlog outside because the people are starring at you. Especially here in Switzerland it is not easy to vlog outside. I wish you all the best with your channel. I really enjoyed listening to this video ❤
Omg absolutely! That's why I kind of chose a vacation spot to vlog outside for the first time because I think it would be just too hard in Austria. But that's my next challenge :')) Thank you so much, likewise!! ♥️
On your way to 1000! Thanks for posting this
I just started my yt channel and kinda feel ridiculous making content but hearing your perspective after a year of yt is so refreshing and inspiring!! congratssss🙌🙌
Your story matters.
Dora...you're adorable. THANK YOU! Very much needed some of this. I'm in the process right now...with my camera in the living room and all that...READY to begin. My goal is to begin uploading TH-cam Videos on my WORK HARD PLAY HARD TH-cam channel. I have a few low-key, design videos for a few designs...but that was just to keep me busy creating, instead of sitting idle. Congratulations to all your success thus far. I'm not 100% sure where the hell I'm gonna end up with my videos and what the hell I'm even gonna GENUINELY talk about. The key word being "genuinely". 👊 PS: Oh yeah, i am an introvert as well.
This video is so inspiring. As a brand new You Tuber starting at the age of 60 I have had so much self doubt and conflict as to what the heck I was doing. Who wants to listen to an old lady like me😊. But you remind me to just keep moving forward and the confidence will come in time. I am terrible about scripting and will lose track of what I meant to say every time. Will be watching your vlogging journey !
I felt the same but don’t be discouraged. Your first few videos may not be great but you will improve over time. You learn by doing. Make videos that you yourself are proud of. Everything else is a bonus
Congrats 🎊 so you grew thousands literally overnight wow! That’s amazing 💜🙏🏽
It's genuinely crazy, I'm so grateful. Thank you ♥️
Ah I love this! First of all, congrats! I’m also an introvert and have thought about doing YT for over 7 years and never did anything about it… I filmed videos being like “yess I could post this” but never did 😭 It’s so difficult because I’m so afraid of being seen(?)/judgement from mothers but it’s inevitable as a content creator..
I get you but tbh if I hadn't keep going I don't know where I would be I have fallen in love with editing and helping others
I would encourage you to continue
I really get that. I wish I could tell you that that fear goes away, but I haven't noticed it decrease much since I started. But that also doesn't have to stop you from starting! The cool thing is: you can be afraid AND start. Figure out the rest along the way. People who judge you for doing something that you truly want to do are not the people whose opinion would matter to you anyway, right? So just go for it! Rooting for you! ♥️
Great points! @oxanadc
@@wellwithdora yes! thank you so much for the encouragement 🤍
I feel like as an introvert you film so much content and never put it out. I relate so well to this comment and yes because my consistency was amiss and my growth slow. But I’ve been greatly encouraged by this
This was an incredibly inspirational video and exactly what I needed to hear, thank you for taking the effort to script, edit and post!!
dora, i resonated with this video on such a deep level!! you have no idea how much i enjoyed watching you talking about this. as an introvert myself, i felt hesitant starting social media, especially because i hate being perceived... but i love filming and editing! 🥰 from the bottom of my heart, thank you for inspiring small creators like me 😍
I'm so thrilled to hear that!! I totally get what you mean and I do think that TH-cam is a bit different that other social media platforms, kind of more suitable for us introverts I believe. Thank you for such a thoughtful comment!
I can't thank you enough for this because I feel like my introverted side is just so overwhelming.
YT recc'd this for me and i'm loving your honesty and style. bloopers at the end is so chefkiss because it reminds me of how they do that in the movies so kudos on that. also congrats on the anniversary of your channel also that your subs increased! oh and your points are so valid and the biggest takeaway from a YT journey is seeing yourself grow on camera through the years.
Thank you for such a nice comment 🥹♥️ I'm so happy you enjoyed the bloopers because I LOVE them, I feel like every movie should just come with an additional 30-minute blooper reel! Definitely one of the best parts of being on YT journey, we think we didn't change much over the course of a few months or even a year but then it's so surprising to see just how MUCH of a change we actually went through.
@@wellwithdora you are most welcome and wishing you all the best on your YT journey! ✨✨✨ honestly, you did inspire me to start or restart lol since I've been thinking of tubing since 2017 too started a bit then quit but we'll see how it goes this time.
agree with the takeaway 100% best thing that ever happened to me
This is exactly what I needed. It's 11:25 pm and I have been up all night trying to write up notes and put together my first scripts. I needed a little break and here you are encouraging me to keep it up! Thank you! HAPPY 1st BDAY!
amazing
Awesome video. I am small TH-camr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Famester, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).
Is Famester legit? And youtube wont ban your account etc? X
You don’t have any content???
whats famester? thats cool
thanks to youtube for showing me your videos, I feel good vibes here, and thanks to you because I had my youtube journey back in 2016, but I stopped. Finding myself with the question "Where would I be right now If I had never left youtube?" haunts me. But that's a good thing, because I needed to put things into perspective, thanks!!
Only good vibes allowed hehe! I totally feel you, as I said in the video that exact thought has been blocking me from starting the journey up again. But I'm glad that you also have a fresh perspective now! Thank you ☺️
You probably spent your time well all these past years. Nothing to regret.
Omg. I loved your outtakes! How inspiring for a new youtuber like me to see you went from 188 in January to where you are now! Congratulations!!
Congratulations on starting your TH-cam journey! One year in is a huge milestone! I'm so proud of you for having the courage to start a TH-cam channel! Good luck with your TH-cam journey! And good luck with the future growth of your channel! Have a great day!
Omggg i absolutely loved it!!! As a dancer i have recently started to post videos as well but just the shorts for now. Thank you so much because this was definitely a push that i didn’t know i needed. Also love the part where you said how we have one super idea and then after 2 days how we think it so dumb because girl same i have felt that way my entire life and i end up doing literally nothing. So i hope this changes for all of us thiss year!!! Congratulations on hitting 1000 subscribers
I watched ur dance videos and they are super good, as someone who is also a small content creator I totally agree with the idea thingy 😆 like why brain
@@oxanadc awww thank you so much!! Also girl you are so beautiful
@@Sujssszzz awwww thx
Congratulations! This video came to me at the perfect time I’ve been wanting to make a channel and seeing your video is giving me that renewed motivation
It’s definitely life changing so sending you lots of good energy as you take the steps to breathe life into a ch. ❤
Do it girl! I started 4 months ago and dont regret even a minute of it!
You have such a beautiful voice. I listened to this video twice in the background while working just for that, lol. It also shows you're an introvert - great vocabulary, impeccable grammar, you're an inspiration. All the best to you!
Wow! I have to admit I was a bit sick here so that's not really my regular voice though 🙈 Thank you so much!! ☺️
Seeing this when you’re about to hit 10K - like wow your 1 year of effort paid off in 1 month. You go girl’ ❤️
Thank you so so much 🥹♥️ I'm glad you phrased it like that because that's what perhaps some people don't really understand, this video "blew up" but without the whole year of trials and failures it wouldn't have happened.
YES YES AND YES! i love what you said about introvert life being a conversation inside your head. i definitely feel that, and using youtube i do think that i am able to finally bring others into that conversation. i love everything about this video
i started my TH-cam channel in February 2023 so i'm almost at my one year mark too!! so many similarities to your story and i'm so happy i started!!
That is amazing starting from 100 and now. Nothing si stoping me I started long ago but didn't realise I have the potential you have shared. Less than 10 but now I know it's possible you are amazing. We can make it newcomers!
For sure we can! Keep it going! ♥️
This is so inspiring!! TH-cam is so challenging but wonderful. I’ve been working on my channel for 3 years and just recently started gaining some momentum. I’m also shy and talking infront of the camera has weirdly helped me break out of my shell a little more and figure out what really makes me, me. The hard work and consistency really pays off! Keep going girl! 💪 Happy to support.
I love that you’ve touched on the experience for introverts!
The first time I tried to speak in my video I felt so defeated because I knew what I wanted to say but it wasn’t coming out the way I wanted. Second try, I made some bullet points and it was better. Still some moments of “ not knowing where my sentence is going “ 😅 but much much better! Thank you for this ❤
oh wow you have a art channel as well, so do I. I am so conscious about talking to the camera that i only upload shorts and processes of my drawing 😅 btw your videos are amazing.
Absolutely agree with you 😊 even uploading a new video feels like a small achievement 🙌🏻 if you think you “only” have 200 subscribers - that’s 200 people!!! who truly want to watch your content 😊
It absolutely does! Oh for sure, it's a lot and it exceeded my expectations already! I just think about if I had to talk in front of that many people put together in a room all at once, what kind of a meltdown I'd have :')
It's also helpful to think of views as people in a room. Equanimity is important, if a video starts doing very well and then the following tanks it is easy to get demotivated. Let's say the first vid got 1k views in a week and the second one got 100, that's still 100 people in a room that you addressed. I can't remember what channel made that analogy but it stuck with me
that is such great mindset to have@@VladimirKostek
@@VladimirKostek totally agree with you on this one!
You’re giving me so much inspiration
Glad to hear! Thanks for the comment! ♥
truly I got so inspired from this, I uploaded a video yesterday and this just gave me extra motivation
Congrats on your success! The algorithm showed me this as a small TH-camr myself. You are inspiring many others. I'm excited to keep growing.
Your channel has grown so much since this video! Great job!! Keep going 🎉
You have no idea how many videos I unlisted because of some weird feeling of ''not being good enough'' or some higher expectations of myself that no one else really cared about. And at the beginning of this year, I listed them again. And looking at them now, I feel SO PROUD of myself, considering that was almost 3 years ago, and I had no idea how to edit properly and make good art in general 😆 I remember feeling super awkward in front of a camera, but I did it anyway. Looking back at them and myself, I really didn't think of a ''perfect video'', amazing edit, and whatever, I was just creating and enjoying... And that's what I'm bringing back this year! 🔥 And I must thank you for this amazing video, you really motivated me even more! I wish you all the luck with this channel and your passion and congrats on your 1st anniversary and milestone 🏆✨
edit: btw, What kind of mic do you use? I'm looking for a small mic and yours sounds really good 😬
Just stopping in to say congrats. All of my subscribers are either missing or Amish.
Thank you!
@@wellwithdora of course! Keep er moving.
😂 missing or Amish
Haha! Mine are all mad I’m about mental health and manifestation and not food reviews anymore!🍜👀👌
This comment made me check out your videos, Jon, and you just got yourself a subscriber who is neither missing or Amish (yet).
You literally have 12k now ❤
It's really crazy what one video can do! I'm incredibly grateful!
The moment where you checked if you were filming at 8:41 with a quick “Gawwwdamnit” was so hilariously relatable. 😂 I’m glad you kept that in! Great video! Congratulations on your growth since posting this!
I so vivdly remember watching this back at the beginning of 2024, it just so happened to appear on my home page just now. I don't know you but I am so incredibly happy for you and how far you've come at just a glance right now! I wish you success in any way that you define it and a lovely journey ahead
watching this 2 months later when you had 188 subscribers and now you have 10.1k 👁👄👁
I'm here from Mai Pham's story 😋
Me too 🙈 i was scrollingggggg through the comments to find someone else who came from Mai’s story 😸
Wow, 500 subscribers and now you have over 9000?!
It's insane honestly! I'm so thrilled and grateful to every single human who subscribed! ♥️
Thank you for your inspiration Dora! Just getting started. Only 4 subscribers so far, but definitely committed to being successful. It is a marathan, not a race.
Nice video..! Good luck 🤞 for your youtube journey 🎉🎉
Thank you so much 😁
This is the first time I see you and I dont even know what content you make but I already love you. And im so happy to see that this video is 4months old but you have 12’+ subs. This gave me inspiration. I’ve been feeling low and having no motivation and I dont know what to do in life as im not sucseeding as an artist, somehow this just lifted my spirit and gave me some hope. Also I love to see more artists who’s first language isn’t english make content where they speak to camera.
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment, it literally means the world to me ♥️ Happy to hear that it lifted your spirits and I really hope you continue creating and believing in yourself!
I've just came across your video today and it's so amazing to see how much your channel has grown! ☺ thank you so much for sharing more about your TH-cam journey and being honest about it. I find that a lot creators who make it struggle to remember challenges of being a fresh TH-camr and sometimes their videos don't come across as relatable. But yours is soooo relatable! Keep up amazing work!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was relatable/helpful! ♥️
Thank you for making this video! I took a break from TH-cam for 7 years as well and now about to start posting again with 500 subscribers, just to see how you have gone from 500 to 10k in 3 months is super inspiring and keeps me motivated to grind harder this year
My fav part about such videos blowing up is knowing that we're supporting a passionate small creator. Love to you and to everyone trying. LET'S DO THIS!
