Finally! A channel dedicated to us older TH-camrs. We'll have a look through your videos later, but if you haven't already I think many of us would be interested in your experience about what does and doesn't work for an older audience, much love Darren and Alison 🤟❤
I'm 4+ years on TH-cam and have not reached 1k subs, and watch time hours yet I’m still here. Keep going, guys, don’t give up! Best wishes to all the small channels out there. Let’s go!
Hi, I'm a newbie on TH-cam, but I saw some of your videos. I would suggest you to add your voice on it instead of the captions, your content is good and helpful to those who wants to learn. If you add your voice on it you create identity and people likes that, so you are gonna have a community and grow your channel. Hope you the best.
@@Golden0332 same! I’ve got just over 180 subscribers & I didn’t expect 1 but I love making videos & if just one person gains from them, that’s what matters! I’ll subscribe to you :)
Kevin, I see 2 things seriously wrong with this video. 1.) It was way too short. 2.) I could only give it one thumbs up. Great vid dude! Have a blessed day.
I'm 48 years old.. i wanted to support my kids. so i started This You Channel.. i know i still need to grind more even though it's not easy. Hope I'll be an inspiration to my kids and they can continue my channel in the future.
I'm 41 and had two surgeries this year. I decided to restart my art challenge after my second surgery and my art business after my first one. I love seeing so many starting, we can do this.
This is, by far, the best explanation of the step-by-step process. As someone who is brand new, and long-past 40 I might add, I find your videos so helpful and the way you explain everything is just wonderful.
I just started my TH-cam channel about 2 days ago and so far have 1 subscribers. It will take some time, but I KNOW I will get to my goal in the near future! I am doing my best and I realised it's something I've been wanting to do since TH-cam started and now I'm doing it! I will continue to tell myself that I AM financially successful to put it out to the universe. Thank you for all your knowledge and to everyone reading this, I hope your channel grows as well!
TH-cam must have realized I needed some help and threw your video my way. Just uploaded my first two videos today and they fell into the abyss but that was not unexpected. Looking forward to watching more of your videos and some success down the road. :) Thank you for the great information!
Thanks for these tips. I am 63 and only started my channel this month but I have learned so much about dogs in the last 40 years that I feel I can post all the time. So far no subscribers though so I need these tips. Thanks again.
I really enjoyed this video. I am a small youber , just trying to figure out all the different bells and whistles that will help me promote my videos that are still work in progress. Thank you for all of your tips. They're really helpful!!!
I love how supportive the TH-cam community is! I'm sharing my own adventures with TH-cam now and the journey has been fun! However, I've only just begun.. so its early days but happy with my content so far.....Thanks to everyone who’s part of it!
We just posted a few days ago for the first time and 2 of our videos already have hundreds of views. We are beyond excited and blessed. We will continue to post uploads and pray the channel takes off.
Great advice Kevin ! Your how to start a TH-cam channel for over 40's really helped me on set up my channel ! Now just trying to get videos up as quick as I can ! Thanks again!
I love that we are all on this journey. I started 2 channels to build my confidence & make friends & I'm so glad that so many of our age group are doing the same 🍀🍀
Be blessed for helping people!! I started my yt channel almost a month ago, i really enjoy create my own videos but i think i would never have the subscribers that i need to keep me going on. I ll not quit but i hope the Lord help me to succeed. Bless you and keep helping other people.
Appreciate the encouragement! I’m sitting at 41 subs and working hard to grow. Let’s all keep supporting one another and reach new heights-never stop! 💥
I'm also sitting here at exactly 41 subscribers on my channel and I'm definitely still trying to see if i can figure out getting past this stuck place.
I started my TH-cam channel to document life in USA and I had some challenges few months ago and my channel was demonetized.its was so demoralizing I don’t want to quit .i will keep pushing and doing better
😊 Kevin I want to thank you you have driven inspiration with me. I put out three videos and I am grateful to you. I have learned a lot. Please keep doing what you do and thank you for being you.
I’m 50 just started my channel today helping small businesses grow in the federal government space. The government buys EVERYTHING! I am passionate about helping small businesses (1 or more person makeup a small business) in optimizing their services and or products by positioning them obtaining different SBA certifications for instant growth. Good content, thank you!🙏🏻
@ thank you 😊 I expect instant growth from applied experience and relatable content. Am excited to propel myself into consulting online YT business 🤗 and will be tuned into your channel.
@ what is your recommendation regarding inserting “relatable tags” and hashtags after timestamps? Any particular length you would recommend? On another note, when video setting is set to publish “unlisted” can subs see the amount of time it takes to marinade for the algorithm?
Hashtags are clickable at any point during the video. Too easy to jump someone off to a page that has nothing to do with your video or channel. Re: unlisted videos, I cover that in this video: th-cam.com/video/v3zpW8FgnFA/w-d-xo.html
@@KevinKolbe watched video but doesn’t answer my questions: on my end the video time stamp in YT studio shows hours running can new subs see it as well?
Wishing everyone here the best on their journey. My wife and I hit a rough moment last year before we got married and got consistent as never before and doubled everything just off of effort. Would love more growth, but I can say the effort was paid off and we are grateful for everything and being here. We are married now and motivated to keep going with all of you as well! Stay strong and trust the process and have faith in your journey.
Thanks Kevin, great info. My channels been doing great being a very new TH-camr in my 40s! However the last two weeks I've really been struggling with views and subscribers, TH-cam simply doesn't seem to be pushing it out, I'm hoping it's just a little phase to push through! But the videos are a lot of effort with hardly much return does not feel great!
Great advices 💪🏽 started my journey around 1 year ago, I think the most important and most difficult thing is the consistency! But I’m not giving up ! 🙏🏼 Thanks Kevin
one thing that i think is really important to remember and is something i’ve been doing, your first few videos should be made for yourself. put a video out there and rewatch it to try and pinpoint areas that could be improved. such as audio and certain editing techniques.
Youre the best my friend!!!...this is sooooo helpful,as ive neen doing my homework on hiw too create amd get monetized on youtube for about 5 months as a barber,amd i have too SAY,YOUR VIDEOS ARE THE BEST,KEEP GIVING US NEWBIES GREAT CONTENT
Uploaded my first video today as a 45 year old, just a 90 second introduction video but I now have all the intro/outro music and thumbnails colour palette and branding in place, (which took a lot of work!) now I can just make the content!
@7Brenda.Aguilar I'm not sure if understand the question generally speaking I guess the place to start is with how you will record and edit your videos and then decide what kind of videos you want to make.
Thank you so much for your vids. I just subscribed. I'm 47 and I've been delaying starting a youtube channel for 3 reasons, I thought I was too old to "compete" with the younger generation, was afraid of getting negative reviews, and the technology scared me. But I'm starting this weekend. THANK YOU!
Hello from Sydney, Australia. I am glad that I was suggested your video. I have a tiny TH-cam channel so this is really helpful. I like your down to earth charisma and tempo. Thank you!
Wow am I glad your video was recommended. This is really well done and very informative. Naturally we just subscribed to your channel and I know what I'll be watching tonight! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and in such a digestible fashion, Kevin!
i just started youtube today and i am not very sure of what to post and how to do it.But i wanted to give a try and as everybody says you miss 100% of chances you dont take😃so who knows!
Thank you! This was really helpful. I appreciate how calm and patient you are, I also appreciate your tone. You get that this is hard for many people and your genuine care is evident! I shared it with a friend who is feeling super frustrated with tech and I know this will help them!
Thank you again for all the videos you put out. I am studying everything so I can do videos. I tried yesterday, first one I stumbled a lot in my words so I deleted it. The second attempt I thought was better, but it never recorded anything. So I will try again . Really nervous. You are fantastic.
Thank you. For your next video, the "third" one. Hit record. Say what you gotta say. Publish it. Regardless of how you thought you did, you'll be glad you created something and put it out there.
Small musician with 30 subscribers. This is sound advice. Couldn't have found this at a better time. Hopefully, using this will help reach the 100 subscribers' goal
Thank you for your video, I’m over 60 also and have no idea really what I was doing, just bumble through. Amazingly my subscriber count is almost 200,000 😅 who’d have guessed, my grown kids are blown away.
Weldone for a good job. I just started my TH-cam channel 2 weeks back, not having more than 2 to 4 views on my videos. It's really discouraging. Want to make something for myself as am about leaving a bad marriage. It gives me hope to see people like you doing well on TH-cam. I am in my late thirties and have a son to take care of but in it all, I won't give up. Thanks
Thank you so much for the information you so freely share on your channel. You have been a huge help and gave me the confidence to finally start our channel. I’m 41 from Michigan and just started an outdoors channel with my boys and am absolutely loving it. Thanks again!
Great video. I am 46 old TH-camr. I found your channel and I am hearing you and learning from you. Your videos are great tools. I do have some questions, Great tools. Thank you.
I am from Slovakia, I speak fluent English. I love your videos and I have just subsribed to it. I started my own you tube channel about a months ago. Thank you for sharing.
Kevin, thank you for all the encouragement and knowledge you share with us… I am starting my channel very soon call “Tech NoBabble” where I am going to be sharing technology related teaching for the non-technical person, especially those in the older, not old, category. As a senior RF engineer with a lot of computer networking background I decided my niche would be making all this tech stuff easy to understand and use for those who don’t relate well to bits and bytes, but still need to use the stuff. I wouldn’t be doing this if not for your support. I am thinking I will link people to you on several of my initial videos in the hopes it helps them to find you too. Thank you Kevin.
You convinced me on another video to start my channel. Uploaded my first video and while I was watching this I tweaked my title, description and added an end screen. Thanks so much!!! I'm looking forward to my adventure.
Watched through a few of your videos and im loving your content. Im 54 years old, and I've just started my channel and am battling a bit to get views and subscribers, so I'm looking to learn as much as possible. Thank you for your videos, I've subscribed 🎉
Hello Kevin. I'm brand new to your channel and I'm really enjoying your calm teaching style. I'm a senior lady and I've had a channel for over two years now. I'm still not really getting the hang of it. I'm here for the education. I need help! It looks like I can find it here. Thanks for all you do!
I am just starting my channel and your videos have been the best, clearest (and most calmly & professionally presented 😄) that I've encountered. Keep up the great work!
TH-cam is a complex lottery and we cant all win, no matter how much advice we follow. I noticed that you spent the first 60 seconds reiterating what the video was about. That i beleive really helps. Its your hook, even though i didnt really find value in the rest. (Heard more advice from gurus than i can stomach) I think we're all so desperate to find youtubes secret sauce that we'll watch hours of how to make it work for you videos. But if it works for you, dont knock it.
What a great video. I learned a ton in just a few short minutes. I'm a newbie and making my own content basically just for fun and never knew how to do the end credits edit to show my other videos. Literally 30 seconds of watching this video and now it's easy peasy. Thanks!
Awesome video as always. I am small TH-camr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I haven't used a little bit of Famester, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much faster and easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and 4000 view hours).
Just wanted to say that if you're starting out and don't want to "verify" your account by giving Google/TH-cam your ID (passport or driver's license) or a picture or video of yourself on your phone and sending that to them, you won't be able to "pin" a comment nor use links for awhile. You must establish your account by uploading videos (and hopefully growing) for 2 months before you have that opened to you. We are currently going through this, so I thought I'd mention it. Also wanted to thank you so much for the information in this video. I hadn't discovered some of it yet so it is very helpful.

Want to make something for myself as am about leaving a bad marriage. It gives me hope to see people like you doing well on TH-cam. I am in my late thirties and have a son to take care of but in it all, I won't give up. Thanks
Thank you so much for the information you so freely share on your channel. You have been a huge help and gave me the confidence to finally start our channel. I’m 41 from Michigan and just started an outdoors channel with my boys and am absolutely loving it. Thanks again!
Super cool, thanks!
New TH-camr here. I appreciate this😊

Great video. I am 46 old TH-camr. I found your channel and I am hearing you and learning from you. Your videos are great tools. I do have some questions, Great tools. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
The end screen tips were super helpful thank you ☺️ I’ve finally got enough videos that I can start using them
First of all: Love what you do; and everything else will follow. Good luck to all! ❤❤
I am from Slovakia, I speak fluent English. I love your videos and I have just subsribed to it. I started my own you tube channel about a months ago. Thank you for sharing.
Very cool. Hey from the US

Hey! Just started my channel so I am extra small!!! ❤️
I started working on TH-cam at the 42. Believe me it is not easy. Just work harder and harder 😊
Hi everyone! I just started this week and this popped up. Perfectly! This is a great video! Thank you Kevin
Kevin, thank you for all the encouragement and knowledge you share with us… I am starting my channel very soon call “Tech NoBabble” where I am going to be sharing technology related teaching for the non-technical person, especially those in the older, not old, category. As a senior RF engineer with a lot of computer networking background I decided my niche would be making all this tech stuff easy to understand and use for those who don’t relate well to bits and bytes, but still need to use the stuff. I wouldn’t be doing this if not for your support. I am thinking I will link people to you on several of my initial videos in the hopes it helps them to find you too. Thank you Kevin.
You convinced me on another video to start my channel. Uploaded my first video and while I was watching this I tweaked my title, description and added an end screen. Thanks so much!!! I'm looking forward to my adventure.
Yes!
Good luck to all content creators 🎉❤
Same to you.
Thanks for sharing ❤ as a small TH-camr I really need this
let's go
Great video. I need all the tips I can get as an 40+ creator. This is a tough journey, but I will get there.
You got this!
Watched through a few of your videos and im loving your content. Im 54 years old, and I've just started my channel and am battling a bit to get views and subscribers, so I'm looking to learn as much as possible. Thank you for your videos, I've subscribed 🎉
Really appreciate that!
Very Helpful! a New Channel is overwhelming & we all appreciate your encouragement! Cheers!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing this informative video with us❤
I just started my own channel. I am sharing scripture and worship! Praying many people hear the gospel through the platform! God bless you 🙏
Love it! Thanks for using your gifts like that!
@@KevinKolbe thank you so so much!! Your advice was very helpful!!!
Great video, great attitude and encouragement. Thank you for posting, sir!
Hello Kevin. I'm brand new to your channel and I'm really enjoying your calm teaching style. I'm a senior lady and I've had a channel for over two years now. I'm still not really getting the hang of it. I'm here for the education. I need help! It looks like I can find it here. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks and welcome
I am just starting my channel and your videos have been the best, clearest (and most calmly & professionally presented 😄) that I've encountered. Keep up the great work!
Wow! That means a lot! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing brother!!! Looking forward to applying these techniques your work is appreciated!!! ❤🙏
Really appreciate that.
TH-cam is a complex lottery and we cant all win, no matter how much advice we follow.
I noticed that you spent the first 60 seconds reiterating what the video was about.
That i beleive really helps.
Its your hook, even though i didnt really find value in the rest.
(Heard more advice from gurus than i can stomach)
I think we're all so desperate to find youtubes secret sauce that we'll watch hours of how to make it work for you videos.
But if it works for you, dont knock it.
Not a guru. Just a dude. Also, doesn't have to be just about winning either. Some do cause they want to. Thanks for the critique.
However you perception attracts your thoughts will be your outcome. Always. ❤
Thanks. I'm at 65 subs. I've thought about giving up and trying something else, but I'll power through for now and see.
What a great video. I learned a ton in just a few short minutes. I'm a newbie and making my own content basically just for fun and never knew how to do the end credits edit to show my other videos. Literally 30 seconds of watching this video and now it's easy peasy. Thanks!
Glad it helped.
Kevin, I'm 50 and you inspired me to start my TH-cam just last week. Thank you. Mean it.
Great to hear that!
Awesome video as always. I am small TH-camr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I haven't used a little bit of Famester, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much faster and easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and 4000 view hours).
@@judymyers1934 where is you content? I was about to subscribe.😂
@@Wisdom_Bloom Yeah it’s a fake person trying to sell a product. 💯
I have started some months ago Also struggling@@Wisdom_Bloom
@@lc7169 Good to note that, youtube full of fake channels too😂
Three minutes in and you led me to the answer to the question I had in my mind, which is about clickable links! Thank you 🙏🏻
Great piece of advice!! Thank you! ⭕
Just wanted to say that if you're starting out and don't want to "verify" your account by giving Google/TH-cam your ID (passport or driver's license) or a picture or video of yourself on your phone and sending that to them, you won't be able to "pin" a comment nor use links for awhile. You must establish your account by uploading videos (and hopefully growing) for 2 months before you have that opened to you. We are currently going through this, so I thought I'd mention it.
Also wanted to thank you so much for the information in this video. I hadn't discovered some of it yet so it is very helpful.
