My girlie!!! Congrats! Also, go with your gut. Do NOT niche down. YOU are the niche. The TH-camrs I watch consistently are those who branch out into all kinds of stuff. In my opinion, if you niche down you end up getting stuck in a repetitive rut. You get stale. Rather, mix it up and have fun with it! We're here for the fun. Regarding the trolls, yeah...there are people whose lives are so sad that all they can do is try to trash those who are working and succeeding. I feel terribly sorry for them, as I ignore them. Good on you for keeping it in perspective. Thank you for the shout out!!!
i HAD to shout you out 🥰 and thank you so much for the feedback and encouragement to try out new things and experiment with different types of content! i could definitely see people getting stuck in a rut if they really niche down too much - i appreciate you sharing your take on this!! I'm going to keep incorporating your advice 🏵it's been a fun journey so far but now that i have 2 months under my belt I feel like i can really start to play around with it more :)
This video is a huge encouragement for me. I posted my first video a few days ago and got 6 views 😅 You’re obviously building a special community around you by incorporating your travels with other tips. That was why I subscribed to you. I love how you’re trying different content types. This is what i’m planning on doing too. Keep it coming!!
YAY i'm so glad you're getting started!!! it all just takes time and practice - don't let the low views discourage you :) i have to keep reminding myself that too hehe it's about the long game!🌻 also check out my first tip in this video (th-cam.com/video/WyfMiktIXZo/w-d-xo.html) - you're making one of the same early mistakes I made!! we need to customize our home pages (i walk through how to do it in the vid! idk why no one talks about this step!)
Yayy this is such an amazing month 2 update! So fun to watch your channel grow 💗and girl, the hate comments, I feel you. I also remember just being shocked at how early they started. I think part of that also came from being someone who is also just not really on social media in my personal life AND the concept of leaving negative comments being something completely foreign to me - if I'm watching content I don't like, I just click away 😂I've never understood people who take the time to leave hate, it's just perplexing to me. But when the hate comments start coming in, you know you're doing something right!! Will be tuning in for all the various content, definitely don't niche too much - I love the direction you're taking the channel!
it is SO wild!!! i actually remember you saying in one of your videos (i think reflecting on the angry men in the comments of your "why i'm no longer dating" vid) that you were taking the approach of curating your comment section to be a positive environment for your comment and that totally stuck with me - i decided i wanted to take the same approach 😊so thank you for continuing to share, it makes an impact!!
This is great. There are plenty of videos that are all about metrics, money, subscribers, etc., but I really like how you dive deep into your production style, what works and doesn't work, what you like, etc. Just feels like a much more real look into this side of being a TH-cam content creator.
thank youuuu i'm so glad you get it!!! definitely just trying to be real and also keep a chronicle for myself and share what i learn along the way😊there's so much hyper-produced content around "how to succeed as a small youtuber" from massive channels... i'm just having fun playing around with things rn and want to share & connect along the way 🌻
Congrats🎉…. As a full time TH-camr here are my thoughts…Your presentation style, screen presence, and content is actually very high quality. You really could go pro, but you do need to niche down. Don’t be afraid to split your content between 2 channels, but finance, travel, and TH-cam niches will confuse the algorithm. Or to put it another way TH-cam will target people interested in travel, personal finance, AND TH-cam. (As a TH-camr looking at going to Egypt..TH-cam threw this my way😂)
that's so interesting that that's how you found your way here 🤩thank you for sharing!!! very very cool to see your success! and thanks for the kinds words :) i appreciate your advice!!! playing around and figuring things out but hoping to make incremental improvements hehe
Congratulations on your 2 Months! You are doing great girl! I love to see young women thriving with what they enjoy doing. As for the hate comments, don't feed into them that's what they want. Hide them. If you delete them they know that they got under your skin and they'll love that. Hiding let's them think they are still there to be seen, yet no one will see them, except the person that wrote it. Also you could set your setting to strict in the dashboard. The tough skin comes with age, I'm 63 just starting out on this journey, I wouldn't have had tough skin at your age, but as I say on my channel "I don't give a rat's rear end" what people say about me now. I'm just here to help others. lol I wish you continued success, I think you will go far, aim for the stars girlie!
we're all in this journey together!!! but it takes time 🌱🌹i have a good feeling about it for us :) the self doubt is dangerous, maybe instead of focusing on if you won't make it, think about all the potential positive effect if you *do* make it!
Subscribed! And yasss girl, i love seeing this. I started my channel 3 weeks ago, so I am really loving your updates on being a "baby youtuber". Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
oh my gosh you're gaining so much traction in 3 weeks!!! no surprise though - your story and passion about helping others with their physical fitness is so important and impactful!! keep it up!! i think the coolest thing about YT is the potential to reach a lot of people across the world to help them with their wellness🥗
thank you so much 😊we're in this journey together!!! we'll blink and it'll be december 15 - who knows what each month will bring but it's an exciting and fun process to learn :D I'm sure you feel similarly with your channel!
Subscribed! I’m the 401st subscriber lol! I want to get inspired by putting TH-cam videos every day to improve my communication. But I'm just gonna make it private just for me to review it and see how I grow over the years. I hope I'll see your channel grow like a really big one day like 1 million lol Keep making videos!
1 million would be insane 😅but who knows where things will go!!! I loveeee your approach - I talked about this in my month 1 reflection video but I totally feel like making TH-cam vids is helping with my communication skills and eloquence! and having the videos almost as a record of your own personal growth over the years - that would be sooo cool to be able to look back on! i encourage it fully 🥂
hehe i wonder how long we can be considered "baby youtubers" but that's really what it feels like - so new to this world and learning everything through mistakes!! and i completely agree - finding balance is so important from all the different through-lines in life! (side note - just checked out your channel, love the concept!!! i'm such a big podcast fan 😄and highlighting everyday people is so awesome we have so much to learn and share with each other! one thing i noticed is you haven't customized the home page of your channel yet which makes it look like you don't have content - I talked about it in this video because i made that mistake for a whileee before realizing th-cam.com/video/WyfMiktIXZo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NNc5h7j-wcqGCJwh )
Hi Kate loved your video as it teaches me how TH-cam works so hopefully one day I can start my new channel, I am working on ideas at the moment but everyday I’m getting closer to start it, I can’t believe you are getting some hate comments already, there’s nothing wrong with your appearance and I think you have a beautiful soul, remember people who hate don’t like themselves and they want to project there problems onto others, keep up the great work I will look forward to your next video 😊
thank you so much 🥰i'm so glad to hear sharing this journey helps as you get started on yours!! getting into the rhythm of posting is the hardest part, so i think as soon as you have some ideas ready it's time to dive in (you should do it!!) and thank you for the reminders around hate comments - you're very right about it being projecting! i can't believe i got a few this early but it's all a part of learning the platform 🌞i appreciate your kind words!! happy my content is resonating!
thank you so much Chris!!! fumbling through these early days but having a lot of fun along the way 😊congratulations on your success i'm sure you have so much advice to share from your journey💻
Great content and you are doing brilliantly, keep it going and keep doing what makes you happy. I am also a very new creator with almost two months under my belt, just got to 130 subscribers and I know there are moments where you put all you can into a video and it goes nowhere, but, its all a process and takes time, stick it out, you will get there!!!
thank you very much 😊 i appreciate the advice to keep trying the type of content that makes me happy! i'm definitely having fun playing around with it. we're in this together big time - it's funny watching one video do alright and the next go no where but like you said best - it's all a process 🤝
@@kate.cassidy I have found in my last two months as a channel that sometimes it also takes a while for a video to get traction, but, sticking to your goals and what you enjoy creating will pay off in the end, its certainly a journey to get the channel going and get the subscribers, but so long as there is progress every day, you will get there!!!
of course 🥰hardly felt like a pep talk, just speaking from my experience and what i've been learning!! we're all in it together here, us small creators! gotta stay patient and positive and have fun with it!
oooo great questions - maybe I'll make a full video about this soon!! i've touched on these in other vids :) I'm just using my phone camera and a cheap microphone off Amazon 😄 and for editing i've mainly been using Descript!! If you're curious, my Descript review/tutorial I have here - th-cam.com/video/ON-HNJ0nPY4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rZhPK2HmNwoJaBR4 and then I touched on some other basics I'm learning in the process in this video - th-cam.com/video/WyfMiktIXZo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=p-qlyiu9EScMukUH i think especially in these early days the last thing I wanted to do was wait for fancy equipment! just my phone and some other basics for now while I work on learning 📚
You know, one thing I'd be curious about is: What does "growing a thicker skin" entail? It's a one-line piece of advice that people have chucked about for years as if it's an instant solution, but I'd love to hear more perspectives on the practical development of emotional resilience - especially as I'm probably going to get a hate comment or two eventually.
oooo that is SUCH a wonderful question and thought experiment i should follow - I really did just throw a platitude out there without developing the concept 😅 a great call out!! i should make a follow up video on it 📝thank you for making me pause and think about it more!!
Thank you for this video. I needed some motivation to keep going. I'm only on my 3d video and my 2 first ones got quite a lot of views but the subscriber gain is veeeery slow. But I guess I'm quite niche. I'm doing everything related to fashion and personal style/lifestyle 🙂
oh my gosh your first uploads are crushing it - congrats!!! 🎉you're clearly striking a cord and resonating with your audience 🤩i feel like subscribers come with more content and consistency in uploads so people can get to know you as a creator more, beyond a hit video or two! this is of course just my hypothesis i'm so new but building up that catalogue so people can get to know you is a great new step :)
