Best of all, your content is not about fake drama, fighting, or cheating people out of their money. You are providing content that is helpful, informative, and honest. Stick with these content principles and you will be up there with Mr. Beast! Congratulations on all you have achieved.

Along with nice people, Caring people that took time out of their day to help me and make me try to have a better day in the most tough times. I want to start putting videos about my journey, what I’ve learned and who I’ve learned from. Try to relay that you can always learn from anyone at any age, that maybe we can have a different perspective if we listen and learn, share some of my life and maybe change at least 1 persons views on life.

It was very interesting listening to your story about the week you had one sub and could have easily given up then, but soon after you 'figured' out a bit of KZread puzzle out and immediately started seeing success with that big upswing in the graph. So many creators reach the point just before that upswing and believe KZread is not for them and give up. And yep, couldn't agree more about skills and resources not being important to begin with. You can learn skills and acquire gear overtime. Mindset is the most important thing a creator needs to have. Commiment Consistency Passion Paitence

You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of help from Fame - ster of course) will always pay off at the end.

    You could talk about hair care in your 50ies and beyond. Because my hair texture changed with meno pause, the horrifying hair loss that came with thyroid problems, etc etc - it has changed the way I look, how my face looks and my overall appearance. I'm at the point where I am seriously considering wearing a wig. There must be hundreds of thousands of women out there with the same/similar problems, needing suggestions and help.

Over the next week or two my subs rocketed from 400+ to 1000+ and over the next few weeks went up to more that 4000. My lifetime views also took off, reaching 300,000 this month. I'm waiting for my first payment. It's not huge but if I can keep the channel going, I think it will grow more income. I'm going to subscribe so I can follow your journey. Good luck.

I started with my art, but no one care about that.. people love my dogs but I know it’s not enough. I’m a Firefighter/ Paramedic for NASA at Kennedy Space Center… I’d like to really start talking about how I grew up with lower class means, my surroundings of my siblings and the effect they had on me and how I wanted to do better and overcome. How anyone can always do better and move forward, learn from mistakes and failures. Also being a female in the fire department for over 20 years, Just discussing working in a male dominated environment can be… the positives and negatives.. The laughs and tough times. But it is a lot and I’m not sure where to start! lol should I show a mural and tell a story with a voice over.. maybe flash some pics of where I’m from? lol great video!!!!

    One thing I think will help the algorithms is to interact with each comment (a like or comment). Encourage interaction between subscribers, as well. Just found your channel. I’ve been considering doing something similar, although don’t know that I have a single niche that anyone would be interested in. Because I support small channels, I will help you, by start rewatching a playlist when I go to bed & let it play while I sleep. I can’t stand watching ads, but I don’t mind letting them run while I snore 😂. You may be my inspiration…

    @@SonetLandman, It could be your niche if you are struggling and thinking it seems hopeless to get monetized. I had a KZread channel for years, and it never went anywhere. It was depressing because I posted videos at least three times a week. Later, I posted every day, and I had about 20 subscribers. On May 12, 2024, I had about 20 subscribers. That day, I had a little over a half hour of watch time and 51 views. That was pretty normal for me, even though I had about 150 videos on my channel. Then, I watched a video about making videos in the kid's niche. The lady said you would get significantly more views and subscribers. I had one kid's video posted already, but I did not have it set as made for children. The video had 4 views. So I switched it to made for children, and it went crazy. I made that little video myself on May 19, 2024, and I think it's pretty lame, but so far, it has 5,339 views! However, I have one video that currently has 15,075 views! I posted a video yesterday, and it already has 8,127 views! That one video also got me 46 subscribers yesterday and 42.8 hours of watch time. I have only been in this niche for about 2 weeks. I had about 20 subscribers when I started this niche, and I currently have 725 subscribers! So, I gained about 700 subscribers in two weeks! I never could have imagined that this could happen. Sometimes, I feel like I am in a dream and will wake up and have 20 subscribers again. You can check out my channel to see for yourself. kzread.info/dron/XeWbeslERni5R050XOoCtw.html (Curious Kids Network) These are just simple kid's videos. Most of them I don't even make myself. I use AutoShorts.ai. I am on a plan that costs $69 a month. For that $69, they make and post two daily videos on my KZread and TikTok accounts. What I love about it is that the videos are professionally done, and no matter what happens in my life, they are posted twice a day without my assistance. You can check it out here: autoshorts.ai/?ref=rk4155 Their videos have gotten me over 8,000 views in one day!

    Awesome video. I am small KZreadr, 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).

If you can do it maybe I can to, I'm trying so hard. I won't be discouraged as my first 20 videos, do suck!! Lol. And, a question - what if you never get viewer feedback??

    ❤ So glad I found you! I started my YT channel (barely) 4 yrs ago, but had to take a 4 yr break due to health issues. Multiple difficult surgeries. Mental health issues involving hospitalizations, etc. After 2.5 yrs of ketamine IV therapy sessions averaging 1 per week. Life SAVING stuff! And the ONLY reason I'm still "here". I started back May 2024 all over again. Relearning everything! I'm a 61 yr old 100% permanent and total disabled female marine corps veteran from the early Desert Storm era. Hence my YT name: Desert Rose The 9063 stands for the year 1990 when I was put out of the USMC & 63 for 1963, one of the last baby-boomers. You give me HOPE that this bat-sh*t crazy old lady stands a chance alongside the "perfect" young people that seem to dominate YT. I guess my niche is helping veterans with resource information others aren't talking about. My life living with chronic illness, psychiatric illness, and my PTSD service dog Stella. And attempting to add humor where I can. Thank you for being REAL! & sharing your amazing journey. Rose💜

    The universe removes us from situations that were toxic when we don't resist and allows better to flow in because we don't even know what the Divine has planned for us, trusting and surrendering is the key❤
