- Hi friends!
This week's video means a lot to me! I wanted to share my TH-cam journey so far and how TH-cam has completely changed my life even without being monetized and having a large following. Making TH-cam videos has 100% transformed my confidence, career, and outlook on life. If you have ever thought about making your own TH-cam channel, here's your sign!

For a 53 year old who started a channel to hear that “there’s no such thing as failing” is music to my ears! ❤ thanks for the encouragement ❤❤
Same…I get made fun of by people but I’m not gonna stop bc I just love doing it. Keep going, best of luck to you
Congrats to you! I’m also in my 50’s s s have been thinking of beginning a channel for almost a year now !
@@jkayin07 I started in the pandemic. You should try it!
@@jkayin07 do it!
52 and 3rd year doing it.. and having a ball!!!
There’s no such things as failing on TH-cam! That’s a great catch phrase! Very happy for you 😇
I believe it! Thank you thank you😊
Well
indeed, it is amazing :)
This type of video keeps me going and not giving up
I just tucked this video away in my "Inspiration" folder.
“ My one ask is that you do me the favor of going and making your own video.” The best thing I’ve ever heard! I nearly cried! Love you girl
Omg! Im glad it touched you 🫶🏾
Same! It was so motivating and genuine! Gave me a big smile :)
Yes agree. It was very genuine and motivating. I really needed to hear this and hence I'm off to go make a video and upload it.
Me too! Literally got teary-eyed! Thank you
Same ! She's adorable 😊
In a YT full of clickbait and monotization-driven content, this is a breath of fresh air. Thank you, and all the best in your journey 🙏🏽
Wow, my jaw seriously dropped hearing you said you have 200 subs at the time of filming, and looking you at 14k+ only one month later now. I’ve had my channel since 2020, and even though I love creating content and have SO much footage that I put off posting consistently because I start to overthink. Thank you for reminding me that I need to just post, I won’t grow at all if I don’t continue to put myself out there… regardless of how my videos do
I just started my youtube channel last week and from the research I've done, the best way to grow is by being consistent. I'm trying to post twice a week for three months. Maybe challenge yourself to post once a week?
Well said !!!!!
Loved your comment!! I am so guilty myself of overthinking and doubting myself. This was a good reminder 🙏
From 500 to almost 4K subscribers?!!! YES, we love to see it! Such a well made and inspiring video:)
200 to almost 4K, it’s insane!🤯
This is so amazing!!! Congratulations 🎉✨
Just insane, indeed we should just keep going😊u can never know when u blow up❤❤❤
5k!!!
6k!! So happy for you girl 🤍
Girl you have no idea how meaningful this is! If your goal was to touch ppls lives you've done it! Thank you ❤😊
It’s the most amazing feeling!
The comments on this video are proof! Such an awesome vid 👏👏
For anyone reading this. We can do this. Just enjoy what we're currently doing so we won't feel pressure and stress over it. It's going to get better. Let's not give up on our TH-cam channels. Fighting!😊
for me the growth has been so slow i am only at 35 and dont get any views either, im trying not to quit but its hard after spending so much time and not seeing any great results 😭
@@Kaurcreates22 I 100% feel you on this - it takes so much time. I do enjoy the process but I also hope one day it pays off 🙏
And now at 5k+. I’m literally watching this again 😁. This was so calming and soothing. Two things that struck out for me ‘There is no such as failing on TH-cam’ and ‘My one ask is that you do me the favor of making your own video’. Girllll you’re a gem.
Congratulations once again. New subscriber here ❤
Wow I’m so glad you liked it🫶🏾
@@kamillahrae Loved it. Weldone Kamillah ❤️

5 days later she’s at 10k+ lol it’s crazy
@@noellesilva8547 amazing! Huge congratulations Kamillah
I really resonated with this! It's taken me awhile to finally stop caring what other people think and just upload! The fear of being judged can really hold you back!
u hve a beautiful souls
I’m right there with you !
Yess!! ❤
@@terenceambangshe really does so sweet
u seem beautifull too@@vanessajfoxx
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 768 subs and > 300 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Well done you!
Look at how many you have now:)
@@jordanaleece Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my TH-cam channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a TH-camr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this TH-cam thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
@@YourEmpoweringGoddess Thank you!
What I really focus on is the value of the content and what I’m truly passionate about while helping others! I'm glad that I'm foolish enough to believe that I can actually start making money through my passions. I've never thought that I'd be able to gain more than 2k subs faster. I can't imagine how many opportunities could have been wasted if I didn't have courage to go after them. That includes having this channel, being in a management role, having the people who actually care about me for who I am, freelance gigs, being an ambassador in a creative community and now I'm also planning on honing my public speaking skills through joining a toastmaster club and these all happened in 2023. It started with writing them all down on a piece of paper. A paper that serves as a reminder for me to go after what I want even through hard times. I'm not bragging about my accomplishments but simply hoping that this message can also inspire others to believe in themselves.
@@nathananderson8720 That is soooo inspiring! I felt close to giving up on my own journey until I posted my first ASMR video on TH-cam in December 2023. Fast forward 2 months later and I got more subscribers than I imagined would be possible for me, after trying to grow my social media for 2 years with... no result. I feel some platforms work for some people and not for others and it's all about trial and error. Watch time is currently at 2,909 hours so just like you I dream of making this my full time paid career as soon as possible! I love that you wrote down your dreams, I am a huge manifestation fan :) sending love your way!! Keep it up!! And YES your journey is so inspiring!!
Salem King once said "Some videos are not for your audience", you put it out there for you.
Because as creative people, we most time feel we have not done well with our video, and we should put it out nevertheless because that video is for us whether it is perfect or not, I am putting it out.
And, this is why I have put out 50 videos on TH-cam in less than one year of starting out and I am not backing out, I will keep putting it out.
Much love from this end, sis ❤
Just saw this comment and I literally just made a video today and I spoke on how Salem king inspired me to post; he’s really a blessing to the creative commyounity❤️
I really needed to read this...
@@marvellouseluaka
Wow
I will love to see the video 🥰
He is really a source of blessing
I really needed to hear this, I really want to do this ,I hope to start it no matter how bad it is
Girl! I literally cried when you said at the end that you wanted us to go and record our first video. I’ve been battling with this for YEARS! Thank you 🙏🏾 New sub ❤
Girl do that!!! I know how you feel but when you post the weight is off immediately and you feel all the good feels; I posted my first video today after 6 years so I know how you feel but just do it

I swear the first video is the hardest!! My channel is still teeny tiny, but at least I got the first out of the way 😂
Wishing you all the best!
I just started my channel 3 weeks ago. It takes a lot of courage to share your journey/reality.
Yes it does! 😂
congrats on your channel- it looks like you have been crushing it 👏
@@JessicaFranco1 Thank you! 🤍
As a millennial, there is nothing more healing and helpful to watch than gen z so naturally and easily stepping into this ‘new’ creative medium. You made me cry so congratulations on being relatable and this perspective is so fresh and the delivery so authentic that I am feeling so fueled and inspired to stop planning my content and start shooting my content. Thank you wonderful human for being yourself out loud! I’m all about breaking the fourth wall and showing that this too is a show, it’s far more authentic than relying on the sneakiness of some marketing tactics. Just really love so much about this video, well done and congratulations for sticking with it, and I also can see that your channel is on the edge of blowing up, so start thinking about what that means for you! I’m so here for the ride, thank you 🙏🏼🤗
This is so inspiring!
and have you seen how her channel is blowing up now! It is so awesome to witness :) @@Madeliefschram
I hope you have a good day, know that JESUS died for you and loves you so very much!
God bless ❤
Love this comment! Fellow millennial here ❤
Ma’am, you now have 27k subscribers, congratulations!
Wait, you mean 13 days ago, you had 200 subscribers and now 7.13k?? Wow babes that's soo impressive, you made that happen!! You're so inspiring 😻🔥 keep doing what you do, I'll never forget the message in this video, so wholesome ❤🎉
Now 10,000+.
Yes! 👏🏾👏🏾
its a re upload from 2020
@@mmbbeeI was so confused lol, ty
Currently at 11.6k !!!! So excited for sis!!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤❤
Im 11subs into youtube and most of them are family. I'm an 18 year old who feels like a failure. Just like you, im not interested into "cookie cutter" jobs. I never have been. So i guess its comforting to hear someone say there is no such thing as failure on here because i really don't have a plan B at this point. Thank you for sharing this to all of us. I know you inspired so many people
This is dope! Me being someone who also started a TH-cam channel in 2020 as well and currently sitting at 260 subs and 22 uploads in. I agree with you 100%. Yeah, most people want to get into TH-cam for monetary gains. But there so much more you gain from the journey like confidence, perspective, self love in the form creating, transferable skills and much more. You’re definitely on the right track Kamillah and have the right mindset in my opinion. Small TH-camrs unite 😂. And anyone who reads this comment and is still on the fence about starting… Just do it. You’ll be surprised at what’s waiting for you on the other side 😉.
21 likes and your channel is still at 260, let me make it 261!!

I started my youtube journey when I turned 60🥰 now I’m 62 and have retired from my 8-5 job of many years. So far it’s been great creating videos show casing my life away from my birth land. Thank you so much for this video. Your story inspires me to

Thanks for sharing your journey. Wishing you all the best success ❤❤
I dont know if you realise how true and motivational this is.
We have gained so much value from creating videos on youtube.
I used to feel so awkward talking to the camera and filming in public but my confidence has grown and I care a lot less about what people think about me.
I am grateful that we started documenting our life so that we have it too look back on. xx
As someone that has been half-assing their TH-cam channel this has been very inspiring! Thanks for sharing❣️
So happy it inspired you Alyea🫶🏾
Right!!
WOW I’ve literally wanted to start TH-cam over 8 years ago and never did. Made a page, started editing my first video, and never finished. I talk about it alllll the time. Thank you for this!!!!! 💕
you can do it 🙏🏾
This is the type of honesty and transparency we need today! God bless you! I’m not a content creator but this inspires me to work more diligently on my craft.
First time seeing you here and you already earned a fan!💪🏾
Keep going hard!
I needed this. as a young black woman to another, I am so proud of you. please continue to be yourself.
👏🏾👏🏾
Great story, and I am happy to see you are satisfied. Being a TH-camr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of help from Famester of course) will always pay off at the end.
I agree with everything you said.
This is so true
Coming up on my 8th year on youtube and I can 100% relate to every point you have made! Thank you for putting words to a lot of the thoughts I have had towards this platform. Also, I love the way you speak, and you have the prettiest smile! 🥰
Wow 8 years that is dedication! You’ve just inspired me!
You put the feeling of a starting TH-camr so well: being in your room feeling like you’re talking to no one and everyone at the same time.. thanks for this video!
I'm failing on TH-cam 😅
About a month ago, I decided to upload my very first youtube video. No expectations. Just for the sake of doing it.
I've been enjoying making videos for a very long time, and now, with my channel, I have the perfect opportunity to learn more about it, to improve and apply it to my videos.
Thank you for following your desire, and start your TH-cam channel. Your words are truly inspiring 😊✨️
I love how your inner growth is influencing your outer growth here on TH-cam. You’re inspiring people 😊 Congrats girl! 👏🏼👏🏼
I appreciate this video so much. I had a family member throw in my face that "you only have 250 subscribers" trying to make light of my progress and i don't think they realize, I'm proud of my community & my channels growth lol I never thought I would make it THIS far. I learned to appreciate every ounce of progress that I've made because its not easy. Much love to your channel & your continued growth! This video has already started to change people's lives & perspective!
Awwww I love this ... People discouraged my too at first but guess what , am the most confident girl now ever and I enjoy life with TH-cam
Keep all your passwords private, to avoid theft Like other videos have experienced, by trusting folks with private info & banking info..🙏😇
We both gotta keep going!!!@@stellahseeranabs6102
@@stellahseeranabs6102 Congrats on building your channel btw, you're killing it!
For a 12 year old who started a channel to hear that “there’s no such thing as failing” is music to my ears! ❤ thanks for the encouragement ❤❤
I don’t think you understand how bad I needed to stumble on your page. What an amazing message. I feel like I have been going literally insane lately, ignoring the constant internal push to just go after what I desire. At the same time, it’s scary, uncertain, time- consuming, and feels like your starting from nothing. I have noticed the change in myself, like you were saying, the high that I feel when I actually do the things that I want, regardless of the views or comments etc. I have been feeling like drowning while not listening to this internal voice, while it also feels like everyone on the internet is perfect, and I want to strive to just be real, and with a lack of that, you already know you won’t get much entertainment from it. I could go on, but thank you for your message. You don’t know how many people are using your voice for motivation to get started ❤
I love this! As someone who was constantly looking at numbers and popularity, it’s hard to sometimes appreciate everything else. The self expression, the creativity, the memories being created. All while doing something I love. Gotta get back on it!
I’m so glad the message resonated with you🥰
The confidence and resilience that you grew through TH-cam are just as incredible as the fact that you're now at 20.5K subs!!! Get after it girl 🥳
Your TH-cam journey with under 500 subscribers is truly inspiring. Your dedication, creativity, and authenticity prove that success isn't just about numbers, but genuine connections. You're a reminder that passion and hard work lead to personal growth and a thriving community. Keep shining and achieving new milestones! 🌟🎥
Hi Kamillah! Your video just popped up on my feed. Everything in your video was so well thought out, and I loved watching it. Being a small TH-camr with a full-time job myself, I can relate to every word you said💗 You clearly have the drive to push yourself and continue creating content that makes you happy. I hope we both keep posting as often as life allows :) It was so engaging to hear your perspective, and I can’t wait for your next upload!
Hi Pol! Omg thank you for this comment! I’m so glad my perspective resonated with you. I just checked your channel out and I love your vlogging style! Just subscribed :)
Definitely the same for me, another small youtuber with a full time job here - sending strength and best wishes ❤
Another smol TH-camr here with a 9 to 5. Glad to join this thread as this resonates with me!!!! 😊. Let's keep enjoying the process 🎉 Sending best wishes as well!
Same here! Small content creator, but because of perfectionism and fear of judgement, I stopped uploading for more than a year and it feels so bad! But sometimes, life just happens, you know. And then it is so hard to keep up with things like this that feel so good, but other people would deem as unimportant. I hope you will be able to never give up. Because creating feels amazing and is healing in so many ways! I'm gonna take a look at your channel now, haha. You got this!
@@Madeliefschram I wish you find the motivation to get back into it, I have just started my TH-cam channel during Spring and it feels so good to create even though I don't have many subscribers at the moment! Sending best wishesss 💖💖
It’s so easy to get discouraged, I always remind myself that everyone has their own journey and that we aren’t we want to be because we haven’t learned what is required to be at that spot. This video definitely blessed me today I hope anyone reading this stays encouraged to chase your dreams whether it’s to be a big streamer or a full time TH-camr, a singer or rapper or anything else that you’re truly passionate about. Just remember everyone starts somewhere different but everyone has the potential to be great 👍🏿 stay focused y’all and have a great day❤
Thank you💯❤️
👏🏾🙌🏾🤍
I honestly miss this part of the journey.
I love this take vs. "Here's a strategy on how to grow on YT". Thank you for humanizing the creative process! Sending you much success
Facts on all the facts
I am old enough to be your mother but completely blown away at your self-awareness and wisdom. I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this video. I'm quite a nerd,myself and love watching TH-cam to learn new things all of the time. I love keeping up with technology and learning about Ai and what not but also I'm proud to say that watching TH-cam videos, I was able to save $3,000 by fixing my own car. It's thrilling to look back and know that I did the job of a mechanic! All by myself! You are a true inspiration and I look forward to watching your success as you grow!
Your car repair is epic!!!!!
Congrats
Thank you!!!!
Hey Kamillah! I'm about 10 videos in, and I can already feel most of what you communicated in this video.
Creating TH-cam videos has been a great way to stay mentally active, learn new skills, and spend more time in the world creating rather than consuming.
Keep it up, and thanks for this video!
Hi Mike! That's so awesome that you're seeing the benefits already. I really liked you perspective in your Kayaking video!
@@kamillahrae Thanks for taking a few moments to watch it 😀.
That was the best video ending I’ve seen on TH-cam. It’s so easy to see that you’re made for big things.
Thank you for fueling my interest with creating more videos on my channel
You were randomly suggested in my feed, and I really resonate with the point about how TH-cam creation helps you let go of perfectionist tendencies. You get to be creative and do things you've not done before. The process is super enjoyable. The self-confidence and love it's helped me have for myself in such a short time has been incredible ❤
100% agreed!!!!
So glad you can relate🫶🏾
if you’re skeptical of beginning anything, that’s more of a reason to do it.
i’ve been watching youtube since 2007 and have finally had the guts to create a youtube channel in 2023.
just within a year, i’ve learned the business aspect of youtube, the content creation, the production, the entrepreneurship behind it, the psychology of youtube and most importantly the dedication and hustle.
i’ll tell anywho who’s considering it to begin. we all have a story, why not share it?
good luck to all the starting youtube channels out there.
I’m so proud of you! I stopped my channel years ago because I felt as though my channel would never go super far…now, it’s time to start again!
Congratulations on now over 8,000 subscribers! Way to go girl. Loved this video. :)
So grateful!
Now it’s 14k. God bless her!
YOU HAVE A GREAT SPIRIT, THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGING WORDS!!!
You are so welcome!
You are such an inspiration. I relate to this so bad. I’ve wanted to start a TH-cam channel for years. I did last year and got scared after a few videos and deleted my channel. I built up the courage and started again at the start of this year. 81 videos and shorts later, I’m loving it and having fun for me as a 35 year old woman that has held herself back for some many years. I am a creative spirit and have hidden it because I’ve been afraid of near ones opinions. I don’t care anymore. I do this for me. You are amazing ! Keep going ! ❤
Girl you posted this 9 days ago and I’m looking at this you have almost 4K subs congrats!! I bet you have that monetization status now and if not I’m sure soon! I can tell by this video that you definitely deserve this, even if it’s not about the subs. This video was such a breath of fresh air in the TH-cam space I feel and you’ve def earned another sub from me. Good luck with everything and I look forward to checking out your other vids! Congrats again!!!! Go girl!! 💕✨💕✨
your story is inspiring :) not just about TH-cam at all.. just in general, it could have been about ANYTHING, it was truly inspiring
You were recommended on my feed, and I was even compelled to make a comment. What a wonderful message the world needs to hear. My daughter just started Pre-K and she is such an amazing confident kid and when you mentioned your school environment affecting the way felt about yourself, that made me realize that there are people coming out of societal rules and being their true selves and we can watch and learn a lot from that so thank you so much for sharing.
I love this! So encouraging for us smaller creators💕 Keep going girl!
Seems she has gone from 200 subs to 1200 in only 6 days! Well deserved.
It can happen for anyone! Thank you😊🥰
It keeps going up it’s crazy🫠😂
YESSS!!!
I'm checking you out
We will keep going. It's a win win as we keep growing.
Nice video.
I LOVED this video. We focus so much about building a community, but thank you so much for reminding me as a creator to continue to be in love with the process and to stop and congratulate myself for the growth that content creation brings. Thank you, and I’ll definitely be adopting this perspective💕
Hey Kamillah, your video blessed me
1. Your tone is beautiful
2. Editing is great
3. Information, presented with genuineness and transparency
4. Encouragement is inspiring and motivating
As a person with under 500 and been on and consistent for 6months and never having any social media accounts. TH-cam straight out the gate, shy, never wanted any parts of SM, no fb NOTHING
AS you said it can change you, I am a bit more outgoing and I do more just for the experiences and to capture and share via TH-cam
Thanks for you video!
❤❤❤Awesome job😊
The ending 😢😢wow so wholesome. "... All I ask is make 1 video now" ❤❤. And skipping back to the start. I resonate so much with what you said. Being young and telling stories and then high-school came and all of it got covered by core wounds. Thank you for sharing this.
I love your honesty and transparency in this video! Honestly it’s a lifestyle and hobby that impacts every element of your life! I’ve loved my TH-cam journey so far and it’s like my therapy producing content and just being me☺️ Wishing you the best and here’s to plenty of TH-cam growth!🤞
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and i get the vibe you’re truly creative, authentic, consistent, grateful, self-aware, wise, confident, powerful, humble and passionate.
The authenticity is really what grabs people, especially when they can relate.
You’re doing a great job.
Keep creating :)
Omgeezy🥺 how kind! Thank you so much🫶🏾
You convinced me, encouraged me. I did it! I have 3 subscribers currently. Thank you for going for it, sharing your journey with us. Stay in God's continuous blessings.
You seem like such a lovely young woman, and honestly I think many people need this message. Sometimes it is not about the money, the followers, the fame, all those things people want to chase after. It is about community, loving yourself and knowing yourself. My dear stay blessed and congratulations on learning a lesson that it will take others a lifetime to learn.❤
You are so kind! Thank you so much for these compliments and thank you for watching❤️
In my opinion, being a TH-camr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman offers product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. Therefore, the toughest part is of course starting your channel and growing it, and I have to say that Famester helped me to overcome a lot of these problems. It really helped me to take off my channel, and made everything much more fun. I still don't get why people stay away from services like this one, but struggle with starting their channel.
You are blatantly affiliated with that company, or have been asked to advertise it. There’s no way that’s a natural comment on that
@@Subsbench 🤣
@@Subsbench 😂😂😂
you have 37 subscribers, when will the kickstarting start?

You’re so right. Great motivation to just keep enjoying the process and have fun posting on my channel
This just reminded me why I started out on TH-cam in 2020. The confidence I have gained alone is enough. Thanks for the reminder of all the transferable skills i am sitting on. I wish you much success on your journey! ❤
This was such an awesome perspective of the therapeutic aspect about creating. It’s during the creating process that we find out more about ourselves! Your story truly hit a cord for me. It hit right on time as I have been trying to make my next video perfect. Felt like God was speaking through you. Thank you queen! Keep opening up, your making an impact!
Wowwww.....I love this❤❤❤. Thanks for the motuvation, I am going to go ahead and just post
What you said about obsessing over this and deep diving into research and improvement is FACTS. That's exactly what happened with me. You're also 1000% correct about how in-demand you will be even as a "mediocre" youtuber (by the standards of those of us who STUDY this). What we do looks like gold to everyone on the outside. I also had a similar experience going to grad school to continue studying the field and the opportunities have been coming left and right. Thank you for sharing this because I started recording a narrative video about my youtube journey, got a little frustrated, and stopped. I will get back on it.
This was great. Her editing is great, so that she keeps making points and doesn't bog you down in fluff. It's also encouraging, and educational.
You literally just made me cry because I’ve been struggling with putting all my footage out there because I’m not confident enough but thank you so much for the encouragement. Really needed it ❤
As you've rightly said that maybe by the time people are watching this, your video would have blown up. It did coz just within 6 days of publishing, your subscriber have tremendously increased and the views is so amazing. I must also say that your smiles are so charming. You're so real and your title speaks to a specific target audience who are going through the dilemma of quiting or staying with youtube. Kudos to you Kamillah
Thank you so much! I could not have predicted the mass response
@@kamillahrae You're most welcome Dear. It goes to show that you addressed the most critical pain point of your target audience and YT algorithm had no choice than to take take the solution to the "doorsteps" of everyone that have been in search for such solution. The traction have just been so amazing. You've really inspired a lot of us with your story.
TH-cam has completely transformed my life for the better, too, even as a small creator, and it's given me more confidence in my professional life. I absolutely love this video and your message. I also wanted to compliment your voice. You have an incredibly soothing, easy-to-listen-to voice!
Thank you Amy! I’m so glad you can relate to some of the benefits I was talking about. Good luck on your journey😊❤️
"If you can sit with that discomfort, you can get something valuable" I am amazed, because recently i have started creating content on youtube and has shot a few videos, and believe me that silence omg!! it's something which cannot be explained, but i am really grateful to God that i am able to do it....
Girl you’re gonna make me cry. I have had so much trouble being vulnerable and putting myself out there and this video is def something I needed so THANK YOU!
Girl you have literally vocalized all of the things that I’ve been feeling about creating YT content 🥰! Thank you for your courage & transparency, I’m feeling extremely inspired 💗
As a small channel, I could not agree more! This hobby does more for me than any blow up could! Loved this video!!!!
Very sincere and encouraging. Thank you
I’m so happy for your recent growth! I too recently started my channel after 10 years of wanting to do it and I finally did it! Your story sounds a lot like mine. I’ve been working from home for the last 3 years and I love it but I do find I get in my head at times and TH-cam has become my escape from being a mom/ wife, it gives me a reason to get up, get myself looking presentable and not sit around in pjs all day 😂. Love the editing ❤❤❤
I resonated with this so much, from passionately making videos as a child to becoming a teenager and having doubts and the fear of embarrassment to suppressing my creativity and just giving it all up. I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up but knew I didn’t want a cookie cutter career path, but never knew being a TH-camr could actually be a career someday. I also revamped my channel in 2020 and have had so many doubts because of how slow my growth has been. But this video was so comforting and was a nice reminder of why I started in the first place. Thank you. 🤍
Love your energy. Thank you for the encouraging words and keep doing your thing, you are a bright shining light the world needs. I have to say, your video production is amazing! Keep going!
Had me smiling all through. You know that little moment of vulnerability where someone says what’s been going through your head and even offers a way around it, comforting words and sticking by you…This feels personal.
We get so overwhelmed by wanting to attain a specific level of TH-cam growth that we often times fail to see our personal growth. I for sure can Testify that starting a TH-cam channel has helped me grow in so many ways.
Thank you for making this video. It is much needed ❤
" so much of our beauty as humans is wrapped up in how we move or emote " THIS IS WHAT I LOVEEE SM its so magical to be able to capture natural reactions, and memories of a specific time in life or in us. and thank you for going into detail & bringing up color correction and getting paid, you hit a lot of really good points. this Is an amazing well scripted video thank you for your time put in this.
Your video showed in my feed as I’m rendering my next video. Your insights made me happy, and your voice is so beautiful that made it really enjoyable.😅😊
Kamillah, this was so inspiring! I love how you decided to focus on the positive sides of content creation when we tend to mostly focus on the negative when we are not seeing the results we would like. ❤ Thanks for this video !
And From 200 to 8k+ you really deserve it ❤…
This is a big lesson and a huge motivation…
You didn’t give up and got rewarded for your hard work and determination 💯❤️
Thank you ❤️❤️
Thank you, You have inspired me to get back into video creation again. I'll be releasing one nxt wk; About Painting my drums & tambourines. You're right, It doesn't matter how many subs you have, so long as you are happy doing what you are doing - the right people will become a part of your community.
Hey Kami! This is so beautiful and precious.... Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable with us ❤. As a recent TH-camr, I needed to hear this. Thank you! Lots of love to you!
So glad the video found its way to you 🥰
I love how this is a video that took off for you! You're absolutely in this for the right reasons, and I love how you describe how talking into the lens feels like talking to no one in the world but also everyone at the same time. There really is no such thing as failure on TH-cam, because through the ups and downs and discomfort, by sticking with it you move forward.
THERE IS SO MUCH GOLD IN THE ACTION. I very much resonate with you. I've been in a huge edit and upload block lately, this is getting me to want to open Premiere and chug one out. Thank you so much!
Congrats girl, this is a great video!
TH-cam platform is so great. It finds friend for us from all around the world ❤ nice video.
Yes🫶🏾🫶🏾
This is amazing and well articulated. Thanks Kamillah for sharing your journey. As someone on the same journey as you, I resonate with you on every front. Any act of creative expression can change you when you let go of the expectation and attachment to the outcome. You are gem 💎
So glad it resonated with you love💕
I love this so much! As someone who just got back on TH-cam, I'm so happy to see others also pursuing their TH-cam career and growing! REMEMBER...If you wait until you think it's "perfect" you're never going to be ready. Start small and then work on getting better everyday ❤
Thanks for this, i watched it earlier this year but I'm here again because this video gave me the motivation to kickstart my content creation journey. I really appreciate, keep up the good work ❤
Congratulations!🎉 for stepping out, for betting on yourself, and for celebrating each part of your journey. Your gratitude, even before your channel began to accelerate is so palpable. I’m learning to be grateful for my steps, even the small ones, and to celebrate every part of the journey. Thank you so much for sharing! Happy to be a new subscriber💛✨
This is so soothing to watch and you're such a great story teller! Visuals and everything are so smooth ❤
"you have nothing to lose, and everything to gain." Words I needed to hear today. thank you. 😘
Aww I love that you posted this 3 months ago saying you only had 200 some subs, and to not only see that video blow up but to also see you jump 23k since! Good job girl, keep going.❤❤
I absolutely love the fact that I'm watching this 10 days after you've uploaded it, and you're now sitting at 4,100 subscribers!!! So much of what you've said in this video resonated with me because I have the same urge and nickling feeling to upload and start sharing my life and all of the ways I've discovered growth. This may just be the one video out of hundreds that will push me to start. Congratulations on your TH-cam channel blowing up!!! ❤❤❤
Didn’t anticipate teary eyes when I clicked on this video but dang! You inspire me! Thank you for your beautiful words and warm heart!
Do the thing and you shall have the power! Love this! So proud of your journey girl! I definitely need to start mine! Thank you for the encouragement! 🙏💕✨
Girl, this just sent me over the edge. Indeed looking at it this way, that one gains its creative powers back, seeing beauty in things, growing self-confidence, developing other useful skills, getting closer to others,… I mean, no wonder TH-cam is promoting this video and your channel now (2 months after uploading this and you’re at 20K! Congrats!) it’s the best and most authentic propoganda ever! I will make a vid today just because of you! Perfect example of how doing you inspires others and BTW girl you are gorgeous!!❤
Thank you for sharing this. This has motivated me to continue onto my creator journey. It has motivated me to keep sharing my life journey in order to serve a higher community of people.
