I just re-started my channel with better skills than before and my max views is 26 views and for some reason I am so excited over that small number. Even if it’s just one or two because I know someone saw my video and clicked whether it be my family/friends or outside viewers. I’m proud of myself.
Im at the same but started 3 days ago and don’t know anything at all at making videos but i got alot to say and alot of life experience have been in the darkest places i guess many would have killed themselves but i never break 😂 positive vibrations is everything
To all the new creators out there, we can do this 👏💯 Be consistent, keep posting, and keep learning. We will get there eventually 💪😎 Don't give up guys! 🔥🔥🔥
@@dynamicman365inc I'm new too! Started two months ago. You don't need to be worry, don't compare your channel with other channels that are bigger than yours. Just build your channel with your own uniqueness and be consistent about it! You can do it! 💪😎
Hi IZzy,I was looking for how to learn the british accent one day and watched your video,then nearly a year after I came across you opening your silver play button. Seeing you here genuinely excited made me see myself opening mine 1 day too. Just nearly 2 months in “brick by brick” “step by step”. I felt your every word, Yes indeed this is a different path for us.🤸🏻♀️🤸♂️🤸🇵🇭🇬🇧!
I cannot get over how good your audio is. Crisp, clear, no popping, perfect volume, picks up quiet and loud moments at a perfect level for each. I think your audio might be better than the "how to have good audio" channels that I learn from.
we are our own worst critics. i am often too hard on myself, get intimidated with the idea of failing and unconsciously procrastinate on my plans. but i have found the moral support i need and plan to keep on going. people would say this and that is already too saturated but i believe that we have equal opportunity here because viewers are not restricted to only watch x amount of channels or videos -- which is a good thing. this is by far the most detailed and informative video by a TH-camr when it comes to growing a TH-cam channel. you really put in the work! congrats on reaching a huge milestone for your TH-cam career! keep on helping others, Dr. Izzy!
Awesome advice, I've been a Star Trek geek for 5 decades, that's my niche. My channel is going really well after 4 months of hard work. It's all about passion, focus, consistency and belief!
I am watching this video just because it’s YOUR video, Izzy. You’re my favourite TH-camr. I thank God that you decided to start a TH-cam channel. Thank you for your videos. I find so much value in every single one of them and look forward to watching more in the future. I know you’re busy but I hope you will keep making videos. Even your chat or vlog are a pleasure to watch! 🥰🥰🥰
The hardest part is definitely starting your channel. But the good thing is that now is so many tools designed for increasing your social media presence and growing your channel or new accounts on other platforms. It took me 10 days to get over subs and views requirement on my main channel, couldn't believe how easy it is.
Thank you for this Doc. How wonderfully articulate and informative you are. I’m just about to take the plunge and start my TH-cam journey, and your video is by far the most useful I’ve seen.
This is truly inspiring-thank you for sharing! After procrastinating for over five years, I finally launched my own TH-cam channel two months ago. Now, I'm just a few subscribers away from getting it monetized. It's amazing how quickly life can turn around when you believe in yourself!
I created my channels in 2018 for natural hair at first. In 2020 during the pandemic I started to post pole videos and one of them did really well. I decided I’m Dec before 2023 I was going to be more consistent and post and 6 months in I finally hit 1k subs now just working on watch time 🎉 really proud. And everything shared in this video is SO helpful I’m watching it again and taking notes!
This video is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone dreaming of starting and growing a TH-cam channel in 2023! Your journey from zero to 200k subs is rly inspiring, and your transparency about the challenges and lessons learned along the way is so valuable. I appreciate the practical tips and strategies you shared, and it's evident that your passion for content creation shines through. 🚀🌟
As a small TH-camr, I've watched so many videos on this topic but Izzy, yours is the most comprehensive & INSPIRING & warm video I've watched. Thank you for sharing it with us all :) when you have time, if you could share a little bit about how you found and work with your editor, that would be also very helpful to many of us who also have full-time job / business owners. I love the phrase - Journey is the destination and I completely agree with you!
Girl this is Gold and I took notes! Thank you, you’re so right, I feel down at times when my artistry plunges. I’m a year in and will remain patient in this growth process🙌🏾
@@SoulAve Thank you so much! I guess I should celebrate huh 🤣. It is such a crazy process. I think that’s why I try to be transparent about my process to my audience, because it’s possible, but it ain’t pretty! Wishing you the best on your new beginnings 🙌🏾
I am restarting my channel again with what I truly enjoy doing, travelling and school! Thank you for this video and I hope everyone who is working on their channel becomes very successful and happy! ❤
Shot my first video 3 months ago borrowing a friend's equipment. Finally took the plunge to buy my own equipment and start my journey on youtube properly. This is a helpful video, broken down properly, and inspirational for a beginner. Will be implementing the tips you shared. Can't wait to come back here when I get to a 100k 😁
@@Braidsgibraltar Hi Grace, thanks for subscribing. Watched your video, welcome back to creating. Subscribed to your channel. Good luck! Keep going! 👌🏾
Hi Izzy, I think the reason why you have been so successful is because you come over as a person with a great personality, very smart and most importantly, speak so eloquently with a perfect British accent. Very few true Brits can do that! Well done, you have another TH-cam subscriber!
@@venandr I interpreted Peter's true Brit comment as meaning born and raised in the UK regardless of ethnic background. I'm a true New Yorker versus all the transplants we have living here in NYC as an example. As for the accent, yeah I thinking he was being condescending on purpose lol. Not all British accents sounds good. They have their own versions of "red neck" and "ghetto" sounding accents. I think he's referring to her sounding "proper." At the end of the day he ain't wrong about what is drawing views and subscribers in.
I just started my youtube because of all the advice given. I am definitely on the right path because starting is actually the hardest part… some ppl never do
Izzy, Congratulations on growing your TH-cam channel from zero to 200k subscribers in just 1.5 years! Your hard work and dedication have clearly paid off, and it's inspiring to see your success. I appreciate you sharing your tips and secrets for starting and sustaining a TH-cam channel. It can be overwhelming to navigate the platform and know where to start, so I'm grateful for the practical points you provided. As someone who is interested in starting their own TH-cam channel, your video was incredibly helpful and informative. I will definitely be applying some of your advice to my own journey. Thank you for taking the time to create this content and help others grow their own TH-cam channels. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future!
@@IzzySealey Please can u make one video, how to edit videos, and what editor program free u suggest and how to use it as well as where to get free music, thanks
Hey Izzy, I'm wondering if the course/community program you recommended is still helpful for someone who is familiar with the basics of TH-cam (so not completely a beginner)? I generally understand how the algorithm works but could definitely use some social support :)
What stands out to me is that your channel is all over the place - in a good way. There's videos about all sorts of topics which suggests to me that all the talk about 'niche' isn't gospel. As long as you're hitting that CTR and retention, you can get some real growth on TH-cam. Great video, nice setup, entrancing voice... What's not to love.
Thanks for this comment. Glad to know as I am trying to start a channel and I’ve been torne between niching down and what that would be. I just need to get going and figure it out :-) as she did! But your comment also helps for some reason 😊
Tanto ela quanto o Ali falam sobre a importância de ter um canal que são seja tão focado em nichos, pois o assunto pode acabar muito rápido e você perde chances de crescimento.
I appreciate your no-nonsense work ethic, your simple honesty and vulnerability, your true desire to help others..... And most of all, I appreciate your authentic and genuine spirit. This is the first video I've seen of yours and I already see your beautiful heart. You deserve all the wonderful things in your journey ahead!! Carry on and much love 💕💕😊
I always like hearing the beginning and the process of everyone’s journey because then I feel like I wasn’t crazy and everyone doesn’t necessarily start the same way. Big congrats on the 400k btw, literally double what you had when you made this video. 🎉 When it comes to controlling my emotions I always just think “Expectations are the thief of joy” So with that, in general I just make sure I know that while I love my video, I know I worked hard on it, I know it will give value, some might see it or not at all but don’t worry, you never know what could happen. Even if it fails, that’s ok you can make something better next time.
i am 7 minutes into your video and so far you are spot on and your info lines up with what i am experiencing starting 10 months ago. Thanks for confirming. it really helps. ok i’ll keep watching now.
Thank you Izzy for reminding me what I wanted. It was my childhood dream to earn from TH-cam. Life been busy with studies, work and balancing work and personal life. But to make my little self happy I started YT channel, I don’t know if my channel will monetise or not but I am doing this for my younger self.
I have just started filming realistic sim racing videos which I love doing! I'm so happy I hit 1000 views on one of my videos, it was such an amazing feeling. I wish everyone the best of luck on their TH-cam journeys! You've got this!
Great guide Izzy!! As a small content creator on TH-cam, I know how hard it is to gain traction and attention from the beginning. Like many of you guys, I was tired of creating quality content almost every day and getting only a few hundred views on my best days. After that, I tried to use some tools to boost my social presence (using mostly Famester because it's really popular these days, and work for every platform). Now I don't have to worry about constant changes in algorithm, and honestly I don't regret it. It made everything a lot easier.
but dude we have to pay for this Famester and we are not sure if after we send email to youtube for channel verification will it be verified or not so it's kinda risky and a big loss of money
@@rasalresid9147 of course it's good take risk in our life but, what do you suggest me to do as a broke college student who have no penny in his pockets
I so agree with this. My channel is still tiny but I've realized my videos about languages got me most of my views. So I decided to focus on that more to grow. Sometimes people watch and tell me they thought I was a big channel based on the quality and content so I take that as a feedback that I'm on the right path.
Thank you so much for this video!!🤩 I'm trying to grow my channel while also being in grad school and really needed tips other than "have a good thumbnail," and "be consistent" lol CONGRATS on your amazing journey!!
I have been contemplating starting my yt channel. This am I wokr up daring myself to jump to it...but found myself looking into yt AGAIN how to!! U u came up. Thank u sooo much. Am gonna do this. 🙏🏼 for me. Omg am so hyped now thank uuu
To my views, you're such a lucky person, not everyone can be as lucky as you are! I'm also running my TH-cam channel. It's been almost 3 years and I find it hard to grow my TH-cam channel.. You're sharing such great tips for all TH-camrs.. Hope the best for your channel, Izzy 💪👍🙏😍
Thank you for going through EVERYTHING, like music, software, hardware...all of it. It's rare to find ALL the necessary info for starting and growing a channel in ONE video. Thank you. I have had a channel for a while, but now I NEED to work on improving some things. This was so helpful.
I’m in the same boat as you… I’ve had my TH-cam channel for about 6 months and it boomed up until January, then everything just suddenly stopped. I couldn’t figure out what changed, got defeated, then just ignored it all together. Now I’m trying to refocus my attention to help it grow and improve. This video was very helpful! Side note: I checked out your channel and instantly became a new subscriber. I have been going back and forth on a silk pillowcase so that’ll be my on-the-way-to-work video to watch! ❤️
@@mississippimagnolias1926 Ah, thank you for the support and best of luck growing your channel. I have realized that my channel really is my learning one, where I am making all the mistakes but growing and learning in the process. So nothing is wasted. But I was also ready to give up not long ago. Now I have decided to put more effort in, and already reaping some rewards.
@@Corrans That's so good to hear, I am glad you are seeing progress! Mistakes are blessings as they continue to teach us as we grow. Best of luck to you as well!
Because of my anxiety I have been delaying starting my TH-cam channel for 5 years. But I’m finally on board! Good luck to all the starters like me💓 we got this
Thanks very much for putting this one up. I have been thinking of starting TH-cam for ages but just putting it off using the excuse that I am not ready to jump in. This was really motivating and your advice very helpful and encouraging. Best regards from UK and well done.
I started two channels and I'm not really advertising anything yet. Just trying to find a rhythm and getting comfortable. But I'm also doing this with a strategy: I have a personal-vlog channel where I want to be able to create freely and a second channel that is very niche (social media for filmmakers). I fully believe in just starting and letting things take its own shape, like you say. :)
As someone who just started, thank you so much for your video I watched it couple of times, I wish I can grow my channel very soon, I really need this success
Thank you! I need this ❤ I started my TH-cam journey a month ago and as you said the better moment is now and in life you only regret what you don’t try 😊
20:14 i saw many TH-camrs unboxing their silver Play Button but this is the first time I red 😮 and this is awesome and emotional 💕 Izzy this is your first video that i watched and i got connected to you and your videos very very Emotionally and they said the truth Your Voice is like Butter on a toast....idk what i said 😑but i felt that😂
Next month will make me a year on TH-cam.. I keep pushing and trusting that it can only get better by the day.. I get more than 100 views these days and I'm grateful... Thank you so muchly 🙏 for this golden video. Appreciate you 💋
4 days back I started my youtube channel on Skincare. I am serious about it and not just as a hobby. That's why I didn't share it with anybody I know: be it family or friends. I really want to see whether my content is actually valuable for the viewers. Your video appeared on my feed right on time! Can't be more thankful and grateful for the video! It's a gem. ⭐
hi, so gald I clicked ur video. I really resonate with it specially that part about starting yt and u feel like u're wasting effirt bc no one's even paying attention
I like the point you made about creating content for your younger self (your potential audience) because you have loads of experience to share. Great tip! Thank you.
Hi Izzy! This is the first video I'm watching of your channel and I'm in love with your communication skills, and how you explained everything you wanted pass across. I'm a small TH-camr, I had another channel with 2K subs, but unfortunately I lost it, so this is a new one that I started and it's been hard to grow😭😭 it's not like my first channel... This video really gave me more motivation to keep going no matter what❤ God bless you and congratulations for your 200K subs, I'm so happy for you. Glad to be part of the subs, hoping to see more of you🥰
Just subscribed to your channel. I started my channel about 3 or 4 years then fell pregnant and took a long break so I'm kinda starting from scatch again but excited for the journey this time around.
I’m now just starting my channel when I was younger I would all was volg random things and stuff I love. This video is helping me learn new things to help my channel, I’m 14 so watching this is so nice. I’m so happy I watched this💓
I just came across this video and it’s so helpful. I recently started a channel and I appreciate this actual advice from someone who grew on TH-cam rather than channels that entire body of content is about growing a channel. So thank you!!!!
Hi Izzy! I'm a new subscriber to your channel as of today and this video really resonated with me. Congratulations on the growth of your channel! Although my channel is still in its infancy, I will be applying the tips you covered and hoping for the best. It's quite a niche channel, but I enjoy the process. Any who! Thank you so much for the helpful tips. I really appreciate it! 🙂
Wow, watching this video was such an inspiring and insightful experience! It's amazing to see how much effort and dedication you put into growing your TH-cam channel from scratch to over 200k subscribers in just 33 videos and 1.5 years. You truly are a testament to the power of hard work and perseverance. I appreciate how you shared your top tips and secrets with such transparency, and provided practical advice that anyone can apply to their own TH-cam journey. Your passion for creating content and connecting with your audience really shines through, and it's clear that you genuinely care about helping others succeed on this platform. Thank you for taking the time to share your story and knowledge with us. You've definitely motivated me to take action and pursue my own TH-cam goals with renewed vigor. Here's to continued success and growth on this exciting platform!
Izzy congratulations! I'm a Chinese mother in London with 2 children. Today I showed your TH-cam to my 11-year-old daughter and she was so impressed by you! You are such a wonderful role model. Keep up the great work! By the way, Would you be able to tell us more about your ways to improve communication, presentation and public speaking skill?
Aww wow it’s an honour!! So happy to hear you find my videos helpful. Yes I’m actually planning a video on confidence!! 😊 wishing you and your family all the best ❤️❤️
I started my channel after hospital... i said to myslef now or never . Its been a week and im so happy ! Im improving video after video . Added also subtitles so ppl can understand ! ❤ your video is a huge motivation!!!

I'm a makeup artist and juust decided to start my youtube channel. Within 10 days i got 37 subs and I'm super motivated to go on. People loving my videos 😍 im so happy . Thank you for sharing your informative video that helps everyone.❤
Funny how this message made me re-start my youtube channel and upload a vlog the same day that I watched her. I had 8 viewers and it made me so happy!❤ thank you so much.
"the journey is the destination" Beautiful words and a beautiful video Izzy. I'm so glad that this video popped up! It's a must watch for anyone considering starting a TH-cam channel. Your video is full of valuable information and ideas. Thank you, thank you so much!
I just started a youtube channel, and there is so much unexpected work outside of coming up with interesting videos and learning editing. This was a really well done and informative video 🎉
Thankyou Izzy for making this video, where you have narrated your journey starting and maintaining a youtube channel. While sharing your very real experiences you also manage to inform, educate and encourage others to start a youtube channel of their own. I have been watching other videos on starting a youtube channel and have been coming away feeling overwhelmed with information (most of it flew over my head, and the little I did understand, I don't remember). Frankly I found most of those videos quite boring! I am not saying those videos are not good, but it is definitely not targeted to an absolute beginner. Some of the videos seem like a whole lot of points / facts just put together from other videos or websites on a similar topic. Your advise on the other hand is so simple, clear and crisp. As it comes from your own experience it feels more relatable for people like me who have upto now found the idea of starting a channel so daunting!. You have made it appear doable by anyone willing to give it a go. Also, you have such an easy and likeable narrative style that listening to you is a pleasure. I hope you will be able to do another video with your organised style and step by step approach showing us how to actually go about the channel setup process as well.
congrats izzy!! I found your channel at around 20k subscribers and you've grown incredibly fast as you deserve! every video is so full of value, so thank you! also didn't realise you haven't taken on many sponsors til you mentioned it, get that bag sis!! all the best
I like watching your vid, your presence is so warm, and your soft & well spoken. I reckon that's why you blew up. There is something intresting about you individually.
I'm new to this platform. I just started uploading videos last month and I'm still learning from watching your videos. Hope to grow more in the coming months and years to come! I will update you after a month or so! Thanks!😍
Hi Izzy, congratulations on your 200k subscribers! Your video on starting your TH-cam channel is very inspiring to me as I am currently starting my career in risk management. And a lot of times I get intimidated by the pressure to obtain the risk management certification. Hearing you say to remain equanimous and to keep going has put me back on track in my risk management career path. Thank you for this informative video and I wish you all the best!
Thanks Izzy, this is precisely what I needed to hear :) I just started my travel vlog and I do have the same doubts that you have covered in this video :)
This is the first video I have watched on your channel and I have to say it was excellent! It was a breath of fresh air from all the videos that push being perfect and that tell you to make $1 million in your first year! You have a healthy attitude. Very inspirational.
First of all congratulations! Thank you so much for great video. After a long time I watched such a long video on TH-cam. Many greetings from Nepal. 🙏🌹
I think picking a niche later on is very relevant. Covering a range of topics gives a broader horizon when you are just getting started. Thanks for the advice! I am working on growing my TH-cam channel and this helps :)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and tips! Starting out any type of business of your own is hard as it is. Thanks to these kinds of videos it makes the process a lot easier, fun and more hopeful. Also, I loved how excited you got unpacking the plaque🥰
Woooow new sub here! 👋 And I already adore your channel, thank you so much for this ✨ So many golden nuggets!! You’re so right, focusing on a neutral emotional state truly helps with being able to remain passionate and consistent. I’ll try more of that when I feel discouraged ❤ Excited to follow along your journey!!
I just lost my job and started a youtube channel... Thank you for this. I make relaxing music video's since yesterday. Curious to see where i will stand in 6 months
Dang, there's a LOT of valuable info in here! Well done. I like how down to earth your advice is. I've been discouraged a bit lately with how slow my channel has been growing.. So it was helpful to hear you talk about focusing on content and value and NOT the algorithm. And just to keep going. Thanks for the pep talk LOL. I hope you continue to grow and inspire. Cheers.
To the person reading this I pray you become a successful TH-camr
So sweet, really hope so!

we are our own worst critics. i am often too hard on myself, get intimidated with the idea of failing and unconsciously procrastinate on my plans. but i have found the moral support i need and plan to keep on going.

Just subscribed to your channel, I like your content... I'm trying to grow my account too so doing as much research as possible for success.
@@Braidsgibraltar Hi Grace, thanks for subscribing. Watched your video, welcome back to creating. Subscribed to your channel. Good luck! Keep going! 👌🏾
How to ad subtitles on mobil
yep thx
agree! try soci al pl us?
Anyone reading this, you will succeed, do not give up
Hi Izzy, I think the reason why you have been so successful is because you come over as a person with a great personality, very smart and most importantly, speak so eloquently with a perfect British accent. Very few true Brits can do that! Well done, you have another TH-cam subscriber!
There's no such thing as a "true brit" and your comment comes across as very condescending to most British people.
@@venandr no prob I will delete it. No worries
@@JeffMooreTM I wasn't replying to your comment, but to "Peter Liu", not sure what your comment said 😅
@@venandr Oh.. Gotcha, no I said it doesn't hurt that she's beautiful. I was trying to figure out how that was offensive.. lol
@@venandr I interpreted Peter's true Brit comment as meaning born and raised in the UK regardless of ethnic background. I'm a true New Yorker versus all the transplants we have living here in NYC as an example. As for the accent, yeah I thinking he was being condescending on purpose lol. Not all British accents sounds good. They have their own versions of "red neck" and "ghetto" sounding accents. I think he's referring to her sounding "proper." At the end of the day he ain't wrong about what is drawing views and subscribers in.
I just started my youtube because of all the advice given. I am definitely on the right path because starting is actually the hardest part… some ppl never do
We can do this! Good luck to anyone that's at the beginning of their journey, as we are. 🙏
Appreciate that
Let's GOOO
yes i can do this i had this youtube account since 2013 but just started getting into posting
Berjuang saja. Nanti juga ada hasil nya
Good luck to you too!
"launch ugly" (7:53) - love that! its like the first pancakes- of course they won't be perfect, but its the only way to start!
2:34 Your positive outlook is what l need for my baby channel. You are the best Dr. Izzy.
Thank you on the issue regarding the Niche debate...
Izzy,
Congratulations on growing your TH-cam channel from zero to 200k subscribers in just 1.5 years! Your hard work and dedication have clearly paid off, and it's inspiring to see your success.
I appreciate you sharing your tips and secrets for starting and sustaining a TH-cam channel. It can be overwhelming to navigate the platform and know where to start, so I'm grateful for the practical points you provided.
As someone who is interested in starting their own TH-cam channel, your video was incredibly helpful and informative. I will definitely be applying some of your advice to my own journey.
Thank you for taking the time to create this content and help others grow their own TH-cam channels. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future!
I totally agree with you. She is perfect
Awww thank you so much!! 😊🥰 wishing you all the very best with it!! ❤️
@@IzzySealey Please can u make one video, how to edit videos, and what editor program free u suggest and how to use it as well as where to get free music, thanks
1.5 years? really? , she start channel in 2014, this is 1,5 year?
Hey Izzy, I'm wondering if the course/community program you recommended is still helpful for someone who is familiar with the basics of TH-cam (so not completely a beginner)? I generally understand how the algorithm works but could definitely use some social support :)
What stands out to me is that your channel is all over the place - in a good way. There's videos about all sorts of topics which suggests to me that all the talk about 'niche' isn't gospel. As long as you're hitting that CTR and retention, you can get some real growth on TH-cam. Great video, nice setup, entrancing voice... What's not to love.
Thanks for this comment. Glad to know as I am trying to start a channel and I’ve been torne between niching down and what that would be. I just need to get going and figure it out :-) as she did! But your comment also helps for some reason 😊
Tanto ela quanto o Ali falam sobre a importância de ter um canal que são seja tão focado em nichos, pois o assunto pode acabar muito rápido e você perde chances de crescimento.
I agree!! In my opinion, it’s a lot of pressure to pigeon hole into a specific niche. It’s more freeing to have a few things to talk about.
I appreciate your no-nonsense work ethic, your simple honesty and vulnerability, your true desire to help others..... And most of all, I appreciate your authentic and genuine spirit. This is the first video I've seen of yours and I already see your beautiful heart. You deserve all the wonderful things in your journey ahead!! Carry on and much love 💕💕😊
I always like hearing the beginning and the process of everyone’s journey because then I feel like I wasn’t crazy and everyone doesn’t necessarily start the same way. Big congrats on the 400k btw, literally double what you had when you made this video. 🎉
When it comes to controlling my emotions I always just think
“Expectations are the thief of joy”
So with that, in general I just make sure I know that while I love my video, I know I worked hard on it, I know it will give value, some might see it or not at all but don’t worry, you never know what could happen. Even if it fails, that’s ok you can make something better next time.
I just noticed that.
now 515K
yea its hard to grow especially when u new like me
Congratulations for getting the TH-cam silver button unboxing and Thanks for sharing your wonderful video with us ❤
i am 7 minutes into your video and so far you are spot on and your info lines up with what i am experiencing starting 10 months ago. Thanks for confirming. it really helps. ok i’ll keep watching now.
Thank you Izzy for reminding me what I wanted.
It was my childhood dream to earn from TH-cam. Life been busy with studies, work and balancing work and personal life. But to make my little self happy I started YT channel, I don’t know if my channel will monetise or not but I am doing this for my younger self.
Your voice and background music is so relaxing.
I have just started filming realistic sim racing videos which I love doing! I'm so happy I hit 1000 views on one of my videos, it was such an amazing feeling. I wish everyone the best of luck on their TH-cam journeys! You've got this!
Great guide Izzy!! As a small content creator on TH-cam, I know how hard it is to gain traction and attention from the beginning. Like many of you guys, I was tired of creating quality content almost every day and getting only a few hundred views on my best days. After that, I tried to use some tools to boost my social presence (using mostly Famester because it's really popular these days, and work for every platform). Now I don't have to worry about constant changes in algorithm, and honestly I don't regret it. It made everything a lot easier.
but dude we have to pay for this Famester and we are not sure if after we send email to youtube for channel verification will it be verified or not
so it's kinda risky and a big loss of money
@@mrcontrol111 it worked for my second channel, so idk sometimes I feel like you need to take a risk😃
@@rasalresid9147 of course it's good take risk in our life but, what do you suggest me to do as a broke college student who have no penny in his pockets
@@mrcontrol111you have a lot of subs, though. Maybe link to an Instagram, sell merch with your art on it? Look for sponsors?
you are one of a kind, exceptionally the best, the way you speak, prononunciation and articulation of the English language, I salute you.
I so agree with this. My channel is still tiny but I've realized my videos about languages got me most of my views. So I decided to focus on that more to grow. Sometimes people watch and tell me they thought I was a big channel based on the quality and content so I take that as a feedback that I'm on the right path.
Thank you so much for this video!!🤩 I'm trying to grow my channel while also being in grad school and really needed tips other than "have a good thumbnail," and "be consistent" lol CONGRATS on your amazing journey!!
I just started my channel after years of wanting to start one, I’m looking forward to the journey!
I have been contemplating starting my yt channel. This am I wokr up daring myself to jump to it...but found myself looking into yt AGAIN how to!! U u came up. Thank u sooo much. Am gonna do this. 🙏🏼 for me. Omg am so hyped now thank uuu
I love "Start making videos about topics you enjoy." That has really helped me. ❤
To my views, you're such a lucky person, not everyone can be as lucky as you are! I'm also running my TH-cam channel. It's been almost 3 years and I find it hard to grow my TH-cam channel.. You're sharing such great tips for all TH-camrs.. Hope the best for your channel, Izzy 💪👍🙏😍
Thank you for going through EVERYTHING, like music, software, hardware...all of it. It's rare to find ALL the necessary info for starting and growing a channel in ONE video. Thank you. I have had a channel for a while, but now I NEED to work on improving some things. This was so helpful.
I’m in the same boat as you… I’ve had my TH-cam channel for about 6 months and it boomed up until January, then everything just suddenly stopped. I couldn’t figure out what changed, got defeated, then just ignored it all together. Now I’m trying to refocus my attention to help it grow and improve. This video was very helpful!
Side note: I checked out your channel and instantly became a new subscriber. I have been going back and forth on a silk pillowcase so that’ll be my on-the-way-to-work video to watch! ❤️
@@mississippimagnolias1926 Ah, thank you for the support and best of luck growing your channel. I have realized that my channel really is my learning one, where I am making all the mistakes but growing and learning in the process. So nothing is wasted. But I was also ready to give up not long ago. Now I have decided to put more effort in, and already reaping some rewards.
@@Corrans That's so good to hear, I am glad you are seeing progress! Mistakes are blessings as they continue to teach us as we grow. Best of luck to you as well!
Because of my anxiety I have been delaying starting my TH-cam channel for 5 years. But I’m finally on board!
Good luck to all the starters like me💓 we got this
Thanks very much for putting this one up. I have been thinking of starting TH-cam for ages but just putting it off using the excuse that I am not ready to jump in. This was really motivating and your advice very helpful and encouraging. Best regards from UK and well done.
I started two channels and I'm not really advertising anything yet. Just trying to find a rhythm and getting comfortable. But I'm also doing this with a strategy: I have a personal-vlog channel where I want to be able to create freely and a second channel that is very niche (social media for filmmakers). I fully believe in just starting and letting things take its own shape, like you say. :)
Am also doing as you said, currently creating videos on what i like and have interest in. Will find a way its a long journey to go😊
@@twinklekhatri17 Yessss!!! Might as well enjoy it a bit!! ;)
@@carlarojasz yeah, a joufull journey
Your channel It will be grow uo and more sis ❤
@@riseupb313 Thank you dear😊
I started my YT channel years ago but never grew the way I wish i did! You being a doctor gives me inspiration to NOT slack off like I usually do!
Please don’t give up
I actually appreciate the advice to just start by uploading what you love and “your niche will find you.”
As someone who just started, thank you so much for your video I watched it couple of times, I wish I can grow my channel very soon, I really need this success
Thank you! I need this ❤
I started my TH-cam journey a month ago and as you said the better moment is now and in life you only regret what you don’t try 😊
20:14 i saw many TH-camrs unboxing their silver Play Button but this is the first time I red 😮 and this is awesome and emotional 💕 Izzy this is your first video that i watched and i got connected to you and your videos very very Emotionally and they said the truth Your Voice is like Butter on a toast....idk what i said 😑but i felt that😂
Next month will make me a year on TH-cam.. I keep pushing and trusting that it can only get better by the day..
I get more than 100 views these days and I'm grateful...
Thank you so muchly 🙏 for this golden video.
Appreciate you 💋
That's good I've only gotten 2
wow thats a long time. i jus started
Yes! Good job girl. I can’t wait to see how it is for me in a year. I just started but I’m having fun
I just started 2 days ago
Good luck everyone 🤝 never give up
4 days back I started my youtube channel on Skincare. I am serious about it and not just as a hobby. That's why I didn't share it with anybody I know: be it family or friends. I really want to see whether my content is actually valuable for the viewers.
Your video appeared on my feed right on time! Can't be more thankful and grateful for the video! It's a gem. ⭐
hi, so gald I clicked ur video. I really resonate with it specially that part about starting yt and u feel like u're wasting effirt bc no one's even paying attention
I like the point you made about creating content for your younger self (your potential audience) because you have loads of experience to share. Great tip! Thank you.
Hi Izzy! This is the first video I'm watching of your channel and I'm in love with your communication skills, and how you explained everything you wanted pass across. I'm a small TH-camr, I had another channel with 2K subs, but unfortunately I lost it, so this is a new one that I started and it's been hard to grow😭😭 it's not like my first channel... This video really gave me more motivation to keep going no matter what❤ God bless you and congratulations for your 200K subs, I'm so happy for you. Glad to be part of the subs, hoping to see more of you🥰
Just subscribed to your channel. I started my channel about 3 or 4 years then fell pregnant and took a long break so I'm kinda starting from scatch again but excited for the journey this time around.
How did you lose your channel?
Congratulations on the 100,000 Subscribers!!! Great Information!!! I’ll be starting soon!!!
I’m now just starting my channel when I was younger I would all was volg random things and stuff I love. This video is helping me learn new things to help my channel, I’m 14 so watching this is so nice. I’m so happy I watched this💓
I just came across this video and it’s so helpful. I recently started a channel and I appreciate this actual advice from someone who grew on TH-cam rather than channels that entire body of content is about growing a channel. So thank you!!!!
Hi Izzy! I'm a new subscriber to your channel as of today and this video really resonated with me. Congratulations on the growth of your channel! Although my channel is still in its infancy, I will be applying the tips you covered and hoping for the best. It's quite a niche channel, but I enjoy the process. Any who! Thank you so much for the helpful tips. I really appreciate it! 🙂
Wow, watching this video was such an inspiring and insightful experience! It's amazing to see how much effort and dedication you put into growing your TH-cam channel from scratch to over 200k subscribers in just 33 videos and 1.5 years. You truly are a testament to the power of hard work and perseverance.
I appreciate how you shared your top tips and secrets with such transparency, and provided practical advice that anyone can apply to their own TH-cam journey. Your passion for creating content and connecting with your audience really shines through, and it's clear that you genuinely care about helping others succeed on this platform.
Thank you for taking the time to share your story and knowledge with us. You've definitely motivated me to take action and pursue my own TH-cam goals with renewed vigor. Here's to continued success and growth on this exciting platform!
Thanks
qqtube is also pretty good
Izzy congratulations! I'm a Chinese mother in London with 2 children. Today I showed your TH-cam to my 11-year-old daughter and she was so impressed by you! You are such a wonderful role model. Keep up the great work!
By the way, Would you be able to tell us more about your ways to improve communication, presentation and public speaking skill?
Aww wow it’s an honour!! So happy to hear you find my videos helpful. Yes I’m actually planning a video on confidence!! 😊 wishing you and your family all the best ❤️❤️
I am a Nutritionist and a small youtuber. I am encouraged by this.
I started my channel after hospital... i said to myslef now or never . Its been a week and im so happy ! Im improving video after video . Added also subtitles so ppl can understand ! ❤ your video is a huge motivation!!!
Congratulations Izzy , this video was really helpful for me, I started my channel 2 days back will definitely keep your advice in mind ❤
00:00 Starting a TH-cam channel can change your life
03:39 Don't force yourself to niche down, start with topics you enjoy and your niche will find you.
07:06 Start before you feel ready and learn as you go on TH-cam
10:31 First 30 seconds of a video are crucial
13:50 External microphone and lighting are key for video production
17:07 Started TH-cam as viewer in 2014, uploaded first video in June 2021 and hit monetization requirements in March 2022
20:53 Reaching 200k subscribers on TH-cam was unexpected but my focus is on making great videos for viewers.

Thank you
Nice....
Is it an AI software?
Thanks so much!😊
I'm a makeup artist and juust decided to start my youtube channel. Within 10 days i got 37 subs and I'm super motivated to go on. People loving my videos 😍 im so happy .
Thank you for sharing your informative video that helps everyone.❤
I'm a Sfx makeup artist ^^
Funny how this message made me re-start my youtube channel and upload a vlog the same day that I watched her. I had 8 viewers and it made me so happy!❤ thank you so much.
I started my TH-cam channel 3 weeks ago. Long way to go but enjoying so far.
"the journey is the destination"
Beautiful words and a beautiful video Izzy. I'm so glad that this video popped up!
It's a must watch for anyone considering starting a TH-cam channel. Your video is full of valuable information and ideas.
Thank you, thank you so much!
❤
The struggle is the success.
I just started a youtube channel, and there is so much unexpected work outside of coming up with interesting videos and learning editing. This was a really well done and informative video 🎉
jus started here too
Thankyou Izzy for making this video, where you have narrated your journey starting and maintaining a youtube channel. While sharing your very real experiences you also manage to inform, educate and encourage others to start a youtube channel of their own.
I have been watching other videos on starting a youtube channel and have been coming away feeling overwhelmed with information (most of it flew over my head, and the little I did understand, I don't remember). Frankly I found most of those videos quite boring! I am not saying those videos are not good, but it is definitely not targeted to an absolute beginner. Some of the videos seem like a whole lot of points / facts just put together from other videos or websites on a similar topic.
Your advise on the other hand is so simple, clear and crisp. As it comes from your own experience it feels more relatable for people like me who have upto now found the idea of starting a channel so daunting!. You have made it appear doable by anyone willing to give it a go.
Also, you have such an easy and likeable narrative style that listening to you is a pleasure. I hope you will be able to do another video with your organised style and step by step approach showing us how to actually go about the channel setup process as well.
Thank you for you information and support. This has been very encouraging. Much appreciated!
thank you for shared your Journey , and congratulations on your 200k subscribers!
Huge congratulations Izzy, your award is well deserved. Your videos are excellent and you're an inspiration. Well done.
The journey is the destination. That's such an amazing quote. Thanks. 💓
congrats izzy!! I found your channel at around 20k subscribers and you've grown incredibly fast as you deserve! every video is so full of value, so thank you! also didn't realise you haven't taken on many sponsors til you mentioned it, get that bag sis!! all the best
Thank youuu 🥰❤️
I like watching your vid, your presence is so warm, and your soft & well spoken. I reckon that's why you blew up. There is something intresting about you individually.
I'm new to this platform. I just started uploading videos last month and I'm still learning from watching your videos. Hope to grow more in the coming months and years to come! I will update you after a month or so! Thanks!😍
Hi Izzy, congratulations on your 200k subscribers! Your video on starting your TH-cam channel is very inspiring to me as I am currently starting my career in risk management. And a lot of times I get intimidated by the pressure to obtain the risk management certification. Hearing you say to remain equanimous and to keep going has put me back on track in my risk management career path. Thank you for this informative video and I wish you all the best!
Hmmm
Thanks for the great tips and congratulations on over 260K subs! I love how positive, encouraging and inspiring you are!
Thanks Izzy, this is precisely what I needed to hear :) I just started my travel vlog and I do have the same doubts that you have covered in this video :)
This is the first video I have watched on your channel and I have to say it was excellent! It was a breath of fresh air from all the videos that push being perfect and that tell you to make $1 million in your first year! You have a healthy attitude. Very inspirational.
First of all congratulations!
Thank you so much for great video. After a long time I watched such a long video on TH-cam. Many greetings from Nepal.
🙏🌹
Very informative and encouraging! "Perfect is the enemy of Good. " How true! Strive to be good is good enough❤💕💞
❤️❤️
I just started this journey and I feel so exited ! Thank you so much for all this great advice!
I think picking a niche later on is very relevant. Covering a range of topics gives a broader horizon when you are just getting started. Thanks for the advice! I am working on growing my TH-cam channel and this helps :)
Thanks for these tips.
I just started my channel.
I look forward to gaining visibility
Liking the video for your excitement of unboxing/holding your plaque , love the vibes 🥹🫶🏼✨
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and tips! Starting out any type of business of your own is hard as it is. Thanks to these kinds of videos it makes the process a lot easier, fun and more hopeful. Also, I loved how excited you got unpacking the plaque🥰
❤👍yes
Woooow new sub here! 👋 And I already adore your channel, thank you so much for this ✨ So many golden nuggets!! You’re so right, focusing on a neutral emotional state truly helps with being able to remain passionate and consistent. I’ll try more of that when I feel discouraged ❤ Excited to follow along your journey!!
The way you almost doubled in subs in two months as well! So crazy! Congratulations, so proud of your achievements 🎉
Perfect video for me since I just started a TH-cam channel and was looking for tips
I just lost my job and started a youtube channel... Thank you for this. I make relaxing music video's since yesterday. Curious to see where i will stand in 6 months
Congratulations Izzy! Thank you for sharing your journey and valuable tips on how to start a TH-cam channel. Very impressive :)
🥰🥰❤️❤️
Dang, there's a LOT of valuable info in here! Well done. I like how down to earth your advice is. I've been discouraged a bit lately with how slow my channel has been growing.. So it was helpful to hear you talk about focusing on content and value and NOT the algorithm. And just to keep going. Thanks for the pep talk LOL. I hope you continue to grow and inspire. Cheers.
Wanna see something fun :)
