    Awesome video. I am small TH-camr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Fame- ster, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).

I’ve taken so many videos and photos since being told “hey, you should start a channel,” but after all of the excitement of these life experiences, filming and wanting to share, I remained stuck in that ‘I’m not ready’ phase. Being told to start before I’m ready, focusing on sharing what I love and not worrying about perfection, is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you!!! 🙏🏻 Time to get started! 🙌

    Great video Annie! 🧡 I especially loved your advice on not focusing on the numbers. I have attempted to launch youtube channels in the past and tried to follow the advice of hyperfocusing on one niche and each time I would get burnout and evetually quit. This time around doing youtube has become more fun for me because I am no longer trying to target a niche or following certain guidelines. Im just creating videos that I want to create and am enjoying the process. Ive been more productive than I have ever been!

It can be hard to not get stage fright being yourself. Practice makes perfect I guess.

    Hi, I am watching this video almost a year later and I cannot tell you I have been planning to create a TH-cam channel for almost two years now. I gave into the excuses, discouragement, doubting everything at every step but here I am, taking a leap of faith on me. Thank you for this video 🧡

    🧡Yikes! I haven't uploaded since last summer. I discovered your channel today when I was looking up songwriting tips (I'm a complete noob), and now I'm inspired to make another video, even if it's just on my smartphone. Your content is genuine and helpful. Thank you!! 🧡

    Great work! I like your persistency. I was filming for months on my main channel. Hours of great content but I just couldnt get any recognition. I wanted to delete my channel, but luckily a came across guys from fame-ster. They pushed me with first 1k subs and a bit of views. Now I have 20k of real people following me.

    🧡I'm just starting out and this was incredibly helpful to know what to do. I hadn't even thought of editing as a form of story telling and I was resisting it so much. Thinking of it as something I can bring creativity into makes me so much more excited about doing it! Thanks! :)

I was really enlightened by the part on working thru fear cus I’m already up nights having to tell myself “I’m not in physical danger” lol and working backwards on the mindset of that it’s like going to a new job and learning a skill I love! Also a teleprompter subject is something I haven’t seen covered in other well established videos TH-cam great stuff. Keep it up 🙌💯

  • @destinyfaith6759

    I literally uploaded one video on my channel a couple of months ago and never had the courage to go back on it...
    The longer I left it the more daunting it became to upload and now even seeing this video in my recommended created anxiety in me. But after watching it, it has eased my anxiety and encouraged me to upload again and not try to be perfect - I can simply learn on the way.
    Thank you for dedicating the time to help us newbies, I honestly took detailed notes and specifically liked the idea to think of your target audience and understand that there are lots of interests in a given person so don't just stick to one type of video, experiment! x 🧡🧡🧡

    Oh wow. I used to think it was a bit awkward for taking this path of starting before I was ready - with zero equipments, except for my phone and ideas for content.
    I figured that waiting to have everything all planned out and ready could impact negatively on my drive.
    Now, I am growing my channel, looking to improve on something everyday and learning on the go.
    Thanks for putting this out.

    I think my biggest issue is that I had someone tell me she was concerned that if I create TH-cam videos, people were going to be very cruel slamming me about my being overweight and size. That they would careless about what my video content is about. I'm already super self conscious, especially since I was always told how ugly I am. But I know to get my business to grow, I really need to do something and having TH-cam videos will help. Plus, I am alone in this whole process. I don't have help. 🧡

I really agree what you have said in the video🥰 I am now planning on posting on YT consistently even when no one is watching or is not perfect because in time I will be better and people will come to my channel, if I put the right goal in my channel.
    Btw I love how you edit your videos🥰 I cannot imagine how much effort you take to make your videos ❤️ keep going! New subscriber here💖

    Thank you for this advice!! I've slowly been working on my channel and I'm having a lot of fun with it. But the pressure I put on myself to be successful is real. 😅 I'm especially mulling over the part where you suggested audience over niche. I do have an idea of who I want to create videos for but I kept trying to push myself into a smaller niche. I want to create videos for people who long to travel but can't and show how you can still find diverse cultural experiences in your own city. Now I have something to brainstorm and work on. Thank you!! 🧡
