She's telling the truth. I intentionally focus on posting on youtube and took a break at posting on facebook, tiktok, & instagram. I am starting to grow more on KZread. 💚
This is good insight. I am also small content creator with mainly some faceless content, and I started posting bunch of Shorts lately. The thing that worked best for me was giving my videos a initial dose of views and likes using online tools (like Fame ster). This caused them to spread everywhere literally, bringing more and more organic views day after day.

Focus on long term content if you're looking for a loyal audience for a long term revenue generation. Shorts will destroy your channel
Girl. The most important point you mentioned was not putting your energy into a bunch of different platforms. This morning I was really getting down on myself bc my reels were performing so poorly on instagram. Then I came across this video & it was affirmation to me that I can’t be out here recording podcasts, uploading yt videos, and expecting to have every reel go viral- not to mention working & doing school full time 😅So after watching this I’m excited to narrow my focus. Thank you❤️ subscribed!!!

I created my channel back in December but i posted a video 2 days ago. I also have a intense fear of promoting my channel on my other platforms because I'm afraid that people i know or went to school with would make fun of it. So the only person other than my family who knows about it is my best friend.

What I hated the most when I was starting on my main channel was that I had better content and videos generally than most of the bigger youtubers but i just couldn't move from a dead point. Here is my advice for beginners. invest couple of dollars in Fame ster and save yourself from stressing.

Thank YOU for sharing these gems! I posted my first video on Monday and I’ve mentioned the same thing! KZread is almost like a digital biography. The skills you gain and content you make starts to refine you and you ultimately grow as a person. Whether or not you take is as a serious profession, youtube-or rather content creation- is great for personal development! Congrats on reaching a new milestone and May God continue to bless you 🤍
i’m an upcoming content creator/influencer and i genuinely took notes because this video informed me on how to grow more ✨ i’m 3 months in and i can’t wait to see my channel keep growing 🌸 you definitely gained a new subscriber babe!!!

Wow! I like your vibe!!!I used to be like this. I used to hustle like crazy to chase my career dreams, and guess what? I nailed it! Positive vibes, prayers,😊 mantras, and all that good stuff brought me exactly where I wanted to be. Then, I found myself traveling a ton and thought, "Hey, why not start a channel to spread some inspiration?" So, I'm vibing with that energy. Similar to you, I aim for my channel to reach 10k this year or even soar to 40k and beyond like yours. Maybe I should swap "hope" for "will" and start manifesting like a pro! 🤭 To all the new KZreadrs out there, good luck to us all!❤
I’m just starting my own channel and I’ve always wanted to start but I finally gathered up the courage I needed. ❤
"Post for your audience and not for the algorithm." A word! I've been growing slowly but consistently. Now I'm ready to increase my engagement and build a similar community like I have on TikTok. Thank you!! Ps. You are such a beauty.

Sadly, for the 4 months I've been creating I haven't grown that much and it really puts me down. I hope I get better and continue to grow🎉❤

Thank you for this video. I’ve been on here for a few years, with some growth but not enough watch hours. This has been so helpful for me to get off my bit and be consistent and check the analytics.
Thanks for all the valuable advice! I made my channel specifically to record memories for my son when he’s older. Hopefully, it will grow, if not, that’s ok too. Thanks again and keep up the great content!
This video honestly motivated me so much!! Thank you. I started my channel about 3 years ago and was not consistent enough and I started getting serious about my channel around a month ago and I’ve seen my channel grow little by little. On the road to 500 subs in less than 2 months at least!!
Congrats on 96K very proud. I’m going to try these tips. Thank you!❤❤❤

Also like you said focus on GROWING ONE platform at a time has been very helpful and staying consistent! I’m not where I want to be but I’m definitely growing. 💕 Thanks for the tips🤗
We need more sisters like this!!!!!! 😭🥰💕
Heavy on the robot like captions! When I did my KZread videos on my old channel I focused so much on putting key words in the title and those videos would flop. The videos that I put my own fun/creative title were the best performing videos 💕😭
This is really motivating 🥰 thank you for this I know I’ll make such a video soon, sharing why and how I’ve grown❤
this has truly motivated me to keep going with my channel! I also love how you include how God has blessed you throughout your journey!
