Me girl 😂. I have seen people nich down so much and am like how many time times can you talk about this nich and keep finding interesting things to talk about.
I’m one of those people who was thinking it’s too late, but God put an idea in my spirit and I’m just gonna be obedient. I’m not into posting on social media so this is going to stretch me out of my comfort zone. I appreciate your tips. They were helpful. I think I’m going to be watching the rest of your videos!☺️ Keep growing and helping others. Be blessed.
God keeps bringing me back to starting a YT channel too and it’s actually really comforting to know I’m not the only one who hasn’t started it yet either 😅❤️
This is me too. I was told in 2020 but I started something on Instagram. But now I really feel like I am going to start the TH-cam. Glad to know I am not alone on this
God's been putting this on my heart as well, and he's been preparing me to do it. It's awesome to see that he's been calling other people to talk about him as well. ❤🙌
I just started my TH-cam and I do weekly vlogging (for now ) an I had to just do it . I am a person that consistently research an try to make everything perfect but I just did it and went for it. I’m learning to stay focused and be consistent. Thank you for your tips
Hey Erin! Just wanted to drop in and tell you I am now at 4,300 Subbies! 2 years in. I tell ppl all the time it's scary, but what's even scarier is never trying and never knowing what could be. I am claiming to get to 10K by the end of this year. Thanks for all you do! Xoxo
Definitely fear of the unknown and editing has been holding me back for 7 years. I’ve never taken a risk because I’ve always been so comfortable in life. But I don’t want to just be comfortable anymore and I know you tube is something I really want to do and I’m ready to put in the work but just trying to get over the fear part
I DID IT ‼️ I have been watching your channel for a while now, and I've finally decided to start my own channel. I'm really excited to get started and I hope it goes well! I just wanted to thank you for being such a great inspiration and motivating me to pursue my passion. Your content has been so helpful and I look forward to sharing my own content with the world.
I’ve been doing TH-cam for a minute now, but still appreciate these videos as a reminder on how to innovate my content. This year I’m focused on creating quality content I’m genuinely proud of. Not likes, not subscribers, but simply creating art 🎬
The advice on the niche was SPOT ON!! I grew quickly by hyper-niching and now that I want to switch up and expand my content, I’m having a harder time than if I would have stayed a little more broad and grown at a slightly slower pace.
As a small content creator for TH-cam, I know how hard it is to gain traction at the beginning. Like many of you guys, I was tired of creating quality content day after day and getting only a few hundred views on my best days. Buying views was my next move. I have never regretted it. Not only I get quality views for pennies, but those views also affect the algorithm and sometimes my videos go viral and get 4-5 times the initial amount of views. I use Famester for now, it works miracles!
This was recommended for me after spending days and nights watching Other ppl channels, you won’t believe I started a channel 2 yrs ago and stop uploading after my dad died, I def have to start back, thanks hun
2023 is the year for me to grow my TH-cam channel with the help of Erin! I’ve been growing my page as a hobby but I’m over trying to keep up with IG. Videos are a joy for me to create and I’m excited to take this to another level
Put the YOU in TH-cam I love that Erin! I started my channel in 2014 as fitness now it's cooking etc. I'm working on getting 100 subs! lol I just have to take some of your advice and get to it! Thanks so much Erin for your help!!! I really appreciate it! :)
Hi Erin, this is so helpful and definitely on time. I am wanting to retire within the next 2.5years from a 33 year career. I am an introvert but really want to start a 2nd career after I retire doing something that I Love, which is sewing and embroidering. Watching your videos is really helping to build my confidence. 🙏🏾. TFS
My channel grew alot by posting more than once a week but I still went back to once a week and focused more on high quality video and audio! That has helped my channel the most. I am still in a niche I suppose but I still feel like I post what I want. At first I felt people were following me for the information, but so many people tell me they follow me because they love watching my story and want to see how successful I will be... Your videos are so helpful!
I just started my channel and I’m still figuring out my niche. But starting was enough to keep me going so I’m excited on growing and improving ! Thanks for the tips
I am grateful for this video, thank you! I felt so stuck because all I heard was narrow down to one niche! And who I am is not narrowed down into one thing! A Target Persona is so key!
I decided to start my channel all over again simply because I felt I was on the wrong track. I agree that not niching down too much is good. That's what I did in the beginning and then I realized that I also enjoy vlogging and doing fun stuff. Although I don't recommend starting over from scratch, I felt it was the best move for me to make. But not having too narrow of a niche is definitely a big one for me.
I love this advice. I’m beginning the TH-cam world this year & I want to get more into the vlogging lifestyle. I definitely want my audience to be interested in me as a whole because I have different sides to me such as a nurse, being into fashion, traveling, cooking etc & I had a fear of not being able to show all these different niches.
I just restarted my channel this year and I am excited to grow!!! I am consistently posting once a week and will start posting more frequently in 2023. Thanks for the tips
Hey Ms. Erin I'm a older gentleman who's been contemplating starting my own TH-cam channel _ I do some stand-up comedy, write Urban lit and have a wide variety of interest, hobbies, skill sets, life experiences which I plan to utilize to my benefit... Just wanna thank you for this video
Yay for the no niche! I feel having to niche down actually stops so many creators cause they feel they can’t show many aspects of themselves! I appreciate it ❤
You are an angel. I almost gave up on myself because things were looking so bleak. Thank you for your service and advice. God is going to bless you beyond your wildest dreams. You have no idea how you inspire. I am old enough to be your mother but I have had some recent failures but refuse to give up on myself. Jeremiah 29:11 I know that God will prosper me and my future.
“Be yourself, everyone else is already taken” -Oscar Wilde. Learned so much on brand building from Erin within the past year. My biggest takeaway is authenticity + consistency over everything. Great video. I took notes.
YES! I so appreciate this up-to-date advice. I've come across some creators who are giving outdated advice. As a small/new-ish TH-camt, it can be really confusing. Thanks again!! This video came up in my recommended feed, and I can't wait to check out some of your other videos.
Question - so about uploading more. What are your thoughts on uploading using the different TH-cam features? I do one standard video a week, one short and tryyying to add in one live video to boost that number up without needing to edit more and more.
I've been wanting to start my channel for years but I didn't wanna buy all that equipment and my channel didn't do well. This video gave me confidence and me and my home girl going for it, thank you so much.
I love this video! Very helpful! Fear of just starting is my biggest setback! I feel like it’s so much to just getting started and the fear of failing.
I’m so glad you said to get to the point. I personally get very annoyed when I’m watching a video as bad they start out talking about random stuff that I don’t care about or they just take too long to talk about the topic of the video.
I literally just started on here and I've gotta say; it's perfect timing for me! Repetition is a key point. I'll definitely pick a catchy line and stick with it. And optimization apps are what you say they are, needed! 15 minutes well spent.
Hi , I started my first video yesterday 6/6/22 … I was scared at first … now I’m researching editing & trying to bring fun & interesting content… my vlog will mainly be a day in the life “Mom” , “wife” , “travel” , “food”… I love your videos. Thank You for sharing!
Thanks Erin! I've really struggled to produce one video or more a week. I'm getting my stuff together and hopefully I can be more consistent and hit my growth goals!
I know absolutely nothing about starting a TH-cam channel but I want to help my husband start his channel. So, we’re learning together. Erin, thank you for your tips and insights.
The hardest thing for me has been creating a space with good lighting and aesthetic in my apartment which has terrible lighting & I feel very limited to where I can "setup" and consistent. But nonetheless, I'm ready & I'm going to figure it out!
Hi Erin! Just joined your Ebrand club last night and super excited for all the programs you have to offer. You are really out here changing lives. Many blessings looking forward to the next live!
This really helped I was worried that I was doing too much with my channel since I'm just getting started. However, after listening to you I feel more comfortable with showing more of myself to reach my brand persona. Thanks Erin!💖
Really insightful video! My biggest concern is fear, but also niche. I'm a very eclectic person. I love sports, I love comics, I love music, I love working out, I love my animals. I have a hard time picturing all of those things being thrown together and being successful lol
This was such a great video Erin, I recently started my channel and from the beginning incorporating different niches that I am passionate about, instead of just committing to one. This one is so important for creators, I've followed many TH-camrs throughout the years and unfollowed them later on, as their content no longer serves me any purpose and they haven't evolved with that information, where I still follow some TH-camrs and creators who have evolved and this has helped me love their channel even more!
I almost started yt back in 2014 and it makes me sad that I let my self doubt and fear of what people thought hold me back. I could’ve been in a different place by now. I’m here now, baby! Thanks for the tips, girl 🖤🖤🖤
JUST WANT TO SAY TO ANYONE WHO IS GOING THROUGH SOMETHING KEEP BELIEVING,& BELIEVE & TRUST IN HIM Keep trusting God , Keep Your Faith , Keep Praying , Keep going to church ,keep listening to worship music, & keep reading the Bible ,& and remember , The Lord is Bigger Than your Problems , Everything going to be ok , just keep praying & talking to him ,💕💕MAY GOD BLESS YALL& EVERYONE IN JESUS NAME AMEN 💕😊
GIRLLLL! This video is so on point for me today! I started my channel over a year ago and between having another baby and just being mom of 3 littles....Chile I'm tired! But I'm always asked when I'm going to post again and I swear I want to but I get in my own way trying to have the perfect setup and the perfect appearance and the perfect background and that perfect subject matter...you get the point. I needed this. Thank you! I'm getting on it!
This is such valuable information. I am a Creative Entrepreneur and I used to think it had to be one niche. I am super versatile in who I am and I felt so confined to ONE thing. Thank you for this. You're awesome, Erin. 🖤
Hi Erin. You asked what my block is to starting a TH-cam channel.... it scares me because I am not a very techy person. I am the tail end of the baby boomers, so this does not come naturally to me, as it seems to with the younger generations. That being said, I found your video very engaging, easy to watch, and helpful!
Hey, I'm a micro TH-camr (lol). My biggest issues when it comes to creating WAS feeling like I had to niche down, but this video reassured me. But now my main issues are 1. Knowing what content to make 2. What my brand is/who my audience is and 3. Marketing myself on other platforms. How did you become comfortable and insightful with these?
I remember when you had like 40k subscribers and you were talking this same stuff, I haven’t been here for a WHILE and WOW! 300k! She knows what she’s talking about!! 🙌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
This is very helpful! I just started my channel a month ago! I definitely want the video on niches! I love that you said not to focus so much on my niche because.. I haven't! And it was strategic on my part.. I wanted ppl to get to know me! Thanks for this it was confirmation for me 💕
LOVEEEE the advice about creating content for your target audience persona vs niching! It ives such scope for changing, pivoting & creating into the future, vs if you niche, like you said, the algorithm kind of puts you in that bucket and it's hard to get out of it!!
Thanks for sharing my biggest thing is fear I’m scared to start my TH-cam channel I want to but fear is holding me back.Thanks for all your incredible words.
Yes please with the video on the niche & persona.. I think I’m more in the persona more then finding my niche. I feel like everything you talked about in this video I’m doing but not really seeing any improvement.😩 I feel like I’m still missing something. I’m still going though I’m not giving up. Thanks for this info 💕
Omg yes please create the persona targeted video! That’s something I’m struggling with it. I don’t like the idea of having a niche bcz I like different things and I want to show that in my content!
I love your content, it's so helpful and straightforward! But my biggest hurdle when it comes to being consistent on my channel is editing. Editing can take me so much time, and because I'm working with limited time during my week (i have a physically sutrenuous job where my hours are not consistent) i find myself choosing relaxation over editing. It's a struggle but I want to be better.
Try outsourcing sometimes. I had to learn with other projects that it's ok to delegate. Try fiiver, if you have some extra funds. I'm sure they have some good video editors for youtube videos. :) Some people do good things and won't break the bank.
I am on it!!!! Thanks for the great advice! Ive got videos stored from 8-10 years ago and was just scared to upload.... and finally a month ago, i just started uploading videos.... new videos lol
I love a polished, beautiful, well spoken natural sis!! Keep setting the bar high and breaking stereotypes!!! You remind me so much of a younger msvaughntv
Such a great video Erin ! I started my channel last year and I have been challenging myself for sure ! It made me feel better that it's ok to have different content throughout my channel without having to zero in on a specific niche .
I am one of those peopoe that is starting to get into Youtuve now. I am almost 40 years old and tired of working in the corporate world. I'm trying to find my "niche" and you brought up solid points. I definitely got some thinking to do. Thank you for this video!
Hi Erin! Great tips. You have been growing consistently. Congrats!! I started in 2012, QUIT, and started again January 2020. My only regret is I quit!! I would upload and not release. There’s no telling where I would be now if I had not quit. I’m full stream now since 2020 and loving the growth. I love TH-cam and I’m an older, over 50, TH-camr now. I have been uploading at least one or two a week, sometimes three, and it’s working. Much continued success and Happy New Year!
I just came across your video. You provided so much information. I’ve always wanted to start a channel but I’m thinking at my age I’m too old. But you know what they say you’re never too old.
This was so helpful and relieving! I’ve had a hard time with the “pick a niche” thing forever and have found it so overwhelming. Erin, the perspective you painted about centering the content around the whole person unlocked a whole bunch for me. Thanks so much for creating these videos!
Thank you for mentioning getting straight to the point and no long intros. I just discovered your channel . You are a beautiful soul. I appreciate your insight.
This was sooooo good. You articulate yourself so well! You’ve always dropped gems that I believe helped me grow. The part I resonated with the most was not to be super niched down! I feeeeeeel that. And screaming like comment and subscribe. If they like it, they’ll Stick around.
As a new TH-camr I was always saying like, comment and subscribe. Erin is always dropping gems for us. You just gained a new subscriber on your channel! Wishing you the best!
I started my TH-cam channel because I was experiencing financial abuse and I had to leave and enter a shelter. I want my channel to document my journey. I’m just using my iPhone and my phone is old but I figured I’d start somewhere. I have no money to spend on extra equipment but when I do I will invest but honestly the most important thing for me is to get my story out and hopefully inspire other women in DV situations.
Definitely loved this video! It was very helpful! I started my channel last year February and wasn’t consistent and when I actually took it seriously it started to grow! I will be using all of these tips and have already started using majority of them. Thanks Erin 🖤
Hello Erin, Thank you for this super helpful tips. I came across your channel few days ago while searching for TH-cam start up kits and I must confess you are doing an amazing job. I am international teacher, I moved to the US mid last year and I’ve always wanted to start a TH-cam channel. I’m struggling with self doubts and confusion on how to basically start this journey.
Hi! Thanks for sharing this video. My fear is just getting started. I feel like there's so much to learn (like all the things you mentioned) but I also know there's value in stepping out and just making it happen as there are things you will learn along the way. I'm working to push past the fear. :)
Love hearing you say don’t niche down. Someone else said to niche down then expand once you get to your desired amount of followers but I would rather take your advice and create videos for my target person who is multifaceted like me.
Erin, thank you for these tips! This was very helpful. My goal is to grow my youtube channel this year, so I am definitely going to implement what you shared!
I’m interested in starting a Chanel! I’m very nervous and fearful! I believe I can be successful but that fear of starting something new is definitely in the back and front of my mind! You video was very helpful! Looking forward to watching more of your videos for support!
Thanks for sharing I like the fact that you said be your self I cannot help it but I have to be myself on my videos at one point I thought I was weird for being my self on TH-cam after looking at all the other videos I also appreciates your honest opinion as well
I love these tips, thank you Erin for the hard work you put in all your videos! I am trying to grow my youtube channel this year, and I agree with your point about not niching down too much and just focus on my own persona. Wish me luck on my TH-cam journey! I know it is going to be a long journey but its worth it!
This was very informative! My husband and I been talking about starting our TH-cam channel for a few years. This year we're going to start it and trust God 😌
I just started my channel today! Super nervous about it but I’m excited for the growth to come. I would love to eventually get a following! I have bad anxiety and self confidence issues so I hope this helps me to get out of my comfort zone. Any and all subscribes and love is appreciated. I’m going to need lots of advice and tips! Thank you for this video.
Such a great video, Erin! I struggled with vloggin as a new TH-camr because I felt like "no one knows me so they won't watch my vlogs." or I felt like I couldn't translate my full self before growing my platform based on a specific niche. This was very reassuring!
Thank you sooo much Erin these tips are actually helpful. I love when I come across a video that doesn’t just sound like every other video I’ve seen. Seems like you actually took time to study what’s actually working 😊
Erin! Thank you SO much! I have been taking notes and implementing things that you've been teaching about TH-cam for some time now! I'm so excited to apply these tips & continue to see my channel grow. You really are the plug girl!!~
Yes please target audience persona video would be amazing! I have tried other things on my youtube like vlogs and oh my gosh i just feel they fail! I am trying to transition just to Yoga physical classes as thats what i love, but my viewers love my face yoga? I am always battling with myself with what the heck to do and what is the best direction. So a video on target audience persona etc would be so amazing Erin. Thank you soooo much 😘💝
Who else was super relieved when she said do not focus on one niche! 😍😍 I would definitely love to know more
Yesss girl!

Yes! Bc everyone says to focus in a niche.

Being a TH-camr Is the best if you are an introvert. It is a way of connecting with the world but from a distance.

The hardest thing for me has been creating a space with good lighting and aesthetic in my apartment which has terrible lighting & I feel very limited to where I can "setup" and consistent.
But nonetheless, I'm ready & I'm going to figure it out!
I’m taking notes. Thank you 🙌
Hi Erin! Just joined your Ebrand club last night and super excited for all the programs you have to offer. You are really out here changing lives. Many blessings looking forward to the next live!

Yeeees I'm filming the first episodes of my channel in a few weeks 👩🏾💻, I needed this! Love yooou! 💃🏾🤗💕
As someone who’s about to begin TH-cam, I loved your advice. You’re very articulate and beautiful
This really helped I was worried that I was doing too much with my channel since I'm just getting started. However, after listening to you I feel more comfortable with showing more of myself to reach my brand persona. Thanks Erin!💖
Really insightful video! My biggest concern is fear, but also niche. I'm a very eclectic person. I love sports, I love comics, I love music, I love working out, I love my animals. I have a hard time picturing all of those things being thrown together and being successful lol
This was such a great video Erin, I recently started my channel and from the beginning incorporating different niches that I am passionate about, instead of just committing to one. This one is so important for creators, I've followed many TH-camrs throughout the years and unfollowed them later on, as their content no longer serves me any purpose and they haven't evolved with that information, where I still follow some TH-camrs and creators who have evolved and this has helped me love their channel even more!
Revamping my TH-cam so these tips are super helpful!!
I almost started yt back in 2014 and it makes me sad that I let my self doubt and fear of what people thought hold me back. I could’ve been in a different place by now.
I’m here now, baby! Thanks for the tips, girl 🖤🖤🖤
I'm just like u
Same I’m so upset with myself that I didn’t start sooner
It's not too late to start
It's not too late to start all over dear

GIRLLLL! This video is so on point for me today! I started my channel over a year ago and between having another baby and just being mom of 3 littles....Chile I'm tired! But I'm always asked when I'm going to post again and I swear I want to but I get in my own way trying to have the perfect setup and the perfect appearance and the perfect background and that perfect subject matter...you get the point. I needed this. Thank you! I'm getting on it!
This is such valuable information. I am a Creative Entrepreneur and I used to think it had to be one niche. I am super versatile in who I am and I felt so confined to ONE thing. Thank you for this. You're awesome, Erin. 🖤
Hi Erin. You asked what my block is to starting a TH-cam channel.... it scares me because I am not a very techy person. I am the tail end of the baby boomers, so this does not come naturally to me, as it seems to with the younger generations. That being said, I found your video very engaging, easy to watch, and helpful!
Hey, I'm a micro TH-camr (lol). My biggest issues when it comes to creating WAS feeling like I had to niche down, but this video reassured me. But now my main issues are 1. Knowing what content to make 2. What my brand is/who my audience is and 3. Marketing myself on other platforms. How did you become comfortable and insightful with these?
I remember when you had like 40k subscribers and you were talking this same stuff, I haven’t been here for a WHILE and WOW! 300k! She knows what she’s talking about!! 🙌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Thank you Erin.
This is very helpful.
I want to start a channel but I have a lot of fear.
Fear of failure , fear of have having to put self out there.
You just need to start Emma, press record!
Kick that fear and start.
Hello Erin Thank you much for your video iam a Filipina senior who is just starting making video for about a month your video helps me👍💖
This is very helpful! I just started my channel a month ago! I definitely want the video on niches!
I love that you said not to focus so much on my niche because.. I haven't! And it was strategic on my part.. I wanted ppl to get to know me! Thanks for this it was confirmation for me 💕
This makes me so happy because I’ve always wanted a TH-cam channel but niching down has been difficult because I want to be known for multiple things
LOVEEEE the advice about creating content for your target audience persona vs niching! It ives such scope for changing, pivoting & creating into the future, vs if you niche, like you said, the algorithm kind of puts you in that bucket and it's hard to get out of it!!
Thanks for sharing my biggest thing is fear I’m scared to start my TH-cam channel I want to but fear is holding me back.Thanks for all your incredible words.
Yes please with the video on the niche & persona.. I think I’m more in the persona more then finding my niche. I feel like everything you talked about in this video I’m doing but not really seeing any improvement.😩 I feel like I’m still missing something. I’m still going though I’m not giving up. Thanks for this info 💕
Omg yes please create the persona targeted video! That’s something I’m struggling with it. I don’t like the idea of having a niche bcz I like different things and I want to show that in my content!
I love your content, it's so helpful and straightforward! But my biggest hurdle when it comes to being consistent on my channel is editing. Editing can take me so much time, and because I'm working with limited time during my week (i have a physically sutrenuous job where my hours are not consistent) i find myself choosing relaxation over editing. It's a struggle but I want to be better.
Completely felt this!
Try outsourcing sometimes. I had to learn with other projects that it's ok to delegate. Try fiiver, if you have some extra funds. I'm sure they have some good video editors for youtube videos. :) Some people do good things and won't break the bank.
@@briannaodom7338 thank you so much. I have definitely heard of Fiver before so maybe I'll start to utilize that.
Literally one of the best videos, so informative and no fluff. 🌸
I am on it!!!! Thanks for the great advice! Ive got videos stored from 8-10 years ago and was just scared to upload.... and finally a month ago, i just started uploading videos.... new videos lol
Congratulations, on starting!!👏🏽
New subbie, I love your hair!!
@@allthingsdorcas thank you so much ☺️
Let’s do this together congratulations
I love a polished, beautiful, well spoken natural sis!! Keep setting the bar high and breaking stereotypes!!!
You remind me so much of a younger msvaughntv
Such a great video Erin ! I started my channel last year and I have been challenging myself for sure ! It made me feel better that it's ok to have different content throughout my channel without having to zero in on a specific niche .
TYSM for the Comments. Much
appreciated
Feel free to Text 📩 I have something
profitable for You....!!💫💗
I am one of those peopoe that is starting to get into Youtuve now. I am almost 40 years old and tired of working in the corporate world. I'm trying to find my "niche" and you brought up solid points. I definitely got some thinking to do. Thank you for this video!
Hi Erin! Great tips. You have been growing consistently. Congrats!! I started in 2012, QUIT, and started again January 2020. My only regret is I quit!! I would upload and not release. There’s no telling where I would be now if I had not quit. I’m full stream now since 2020 and loving the growth. I love TH-cam and I’m an older, over 50, TH-camr now. I have been uploading at least one or two a week, sometimes three, and it’s working. Much continued success and Happy New Year!

I just came across your video. You provided so much information. I’ve always wanted to start a channel but I’m thinking at my age I’m too old. But you know what they say you’re never too old.
This was so helpful and relieving! I’ve had a hard time with the “pick a niche” thing forever and have found it so overwhelming. Erin, the perspective you painted about centering the content around the whole person unlocked a whole bunch for me. Thanks so much for creating these videos!
I’m a professional video editor. I can edit your videos for you
Thank you for mentioning getting straight to the point and no long intros. I just discovered your channel . You are a beautiful soul. I appreciate your insight.
This was sooooo good. You articulate yourself so well! You’ve always dropped gems that I believe helped me grow. The part I resonated with the most was not to be super niched down! I feeeeeeel that. And screaming like comment and subscribe. If they like it, they’ll
Stick around.
As a new TH-camr I was always saying like, comment and subscribe. Erin is always dropping gems for us.
You just gained a new subscriber on your channel! Wishing you the best!
Definitely need that niche video 😉, I’m so glad to hear you don’t think we need to niche down too hard!
Thanks Erin for your wisdom. Can’t wait to use your techniques and see what 2022 has in store for me and my channel.
Same here and you just gained a new subscriber. Wishing you the best!
@@LaToya_B thank you so much. Returning the love. ☺️
I started my TH-cam channel because I was experiencing financial abuse and I had to leave and enter a shelter. I want my channel to document my journey. I’m just using my iPhone and my phone is old but I figured I’d start somewhere. I have no money to spend on extra equipment but when I do I will invest but honestly the most important thing for me is to get my story out and hopefully inspire other women in DV situations.
Definitely loved this video! It was very helpful! I started my channel last year February and wasn’t consistent and when I actually took it seriously it started to grow! I will be using all of these tips and have already started using majority of them. Thanks Erin 🖤
I love your background ! its so calming and artsy
Creating a target persona is something I need to do for sure. Working on consistency too 🥴
Thanks for the tips Erin✨
Same here being more consistent!
Yess. I've been praying about endurance.
Me too
I’m a professional video editor. I can edit your videos for you
Yes. I'm learning now to have my utube. Your advice on. Putting the YOU in utube... golden! Thank you
Hello Erin, Thank you for this super helpful tips. I came across your channel few days ago while searching for TH-cam start up kits and I must confess you are doing an amazing job. I am international teacher, I moved to the US mid last year and I’ve always wanted to start a TH-cam channel. I’m struggling with self doubts and confusion on how to basically start this journey.
Thanks for being so authentic! You rock sis!
Thank you so much Brittany! xx
Hi! Thanks for sharing this video. My fear is just getting started. I feel like there's so much to learn (like all the things you mentioned) but I also know there's value in stepping out and just making it happen as there are things you will learn along the way. I'm working to push past the fear. :)
th-cam.com/video/BD1tbEUlSTs/w-d-xo.html
Hi,
What is still holding you back
So me, fear of getting started.
This is me , I really want to oust past my fear
I wish i could like this video over and again. I still love that your signature intro anyway. Thanks for the gems
Thank you Erin ❤️ literally a stay at home mom now (veteran) and was wondering how. Yes please for 🎯 😌☝🏽
Love hearing you say don’t niche down. Someone else said to niche down then expand once you get to your desired amount of followers but I would rather take your advice and create videos for my target person who is multifaceted like me.
Erin, thank you for these tips! This was very helpful. My goal is to grow my youtube channel this year, so I am definitely going to implement what you shared!
I’m interested in starting a Chanel! I’m very nervous and fearful! I believe I can be successful but that fear of starting something new is definitely in the back and front of my mind!
You video was very helpful! Looking forward to watching more of your videos for support!
This was helpful as I've just started my channel. Also loved when she said you must not only focus on one niche. Thank you for the tips Mrs Erin😊
You go girl. Excited for your journey! I just started mine too :)
Just started mine and I need all the helpful info as possible…
Thanks for sharing I like the fact that you said be your self I cannot help it but I have to be myself on my videos at one point I thought I was weird for being my self on TH-cam after looking at all the other videos I also appreciates your honest opinion as well
I love these tips, thank you Erin for the hard work you put in all your videos! I am trying to grow my youtube channel this year, and I agree with your point about not niching down too much and just focus on my own persona. Wish me luck on my TH-cam journey! I know it is going to be a long journey but its worth it!
I am a new TH-camr and any good info is just what I need…
This was very informative! My husband and I been talking about starting our TH-cam channel for a few years. This year we're going to start it and trust God 😌
What great tips 🥰 thanks so much for sharing 🤗 your background setting is gorgeous ♥️♥️♥️
I just started my channel today! Super nervous about it but I’m excited for the growth to come. I would love to eventually get a following! I have bad anxiety and self confidence issues so I hope this helps me to get out of my comfort zone. Any and all subscribes and love is appreciated. I’m going to need lots of advice and tips! Thank you for this video.
Such a great video, Erin! I struggled with vloggin as a new TH-camr because I felt like "no one knows me so they won't watch my vlogs." or I felt like I couldn't translate my full self before growing my platform based on a specific niche. This was very reassuring!
Absolutely
Totally agree!
I feel the same way about being a new TH-camr and no one knows me.
But hey I just subscribed to your channel to support!
Let’s do this together
You answered all the questions I didn’t even know how to ask, or what to ask for! So glad I found you. Thank you!
Thank you sooo much Erin these tips are actually helpful. I love when I come across a video that doesn’t just sound like every other video I’ve seen. Seems like you actually took time to study what’s actually working 😊
Thank you! Editing, equipment, and timing/schedule are my top 3 barriers I'm overcoming....slowly
Erin! Thank you SO much! I have been taking notes and implementing things that you've been teaching about TH-cam for some time now! I'm so excited to apply these tips & continue to see my channel grow. You really are the plug girl!!~
Yes please target audience persona video would be amazing! I have tried other things on my youtube like vlogs and oh my gosh i just feel they fail! I am trying to transition just to Yoga physical classes as thats what i love, but my viewers love my face yoga? I am always battling with myself with what the heck to do and what is the best direction. So a video on target audience persona etc would be so amazing Erin. Thank you soooo much 😘💝
