I've heard from influencers I know that as soon as you hit monetization status, you might actually have brands reaching out to you. Of course you should vet anyone that reaches out so you aren't taking money from a scam business or something.

KZread has a new feature tab that displays brands who you can just hookup to
Hi Alexis, I want to thank you for the video. Because of injuries, I am a 60 yr-old woman starting my life over after spending 15 yrs taking care of my mother with worsening dementia until she passed. I took notes throughout your video to help me with getting started and I will go to your affiliate links to shop before I go anywhere else, in hopes that this will help compensate you for sharing your knowledge and experience. You're a lovely young woman and I wish you all the best. I did also subscribe and will stay subscribed, will look out for your new videos and I'll check out your old ones as well, to support you. Thank you again.
As a former Buddhist Monk who does Meditation related material our genre are quite far apart. Yet I really enjoyed listening to your last video with KZread as a topic and this one seems to be a winner aswell. Thank you for taking the time to put all of this together in such a clear and concise way. Feels like a flowchart of how to get your channel up and then getting your first video out and even dealing with taxes and everything that comes after!

hey, I saw you on a dan koe video
if I would to start again on YT, I just wouldn't waste months to get recognized by couple hundred people. When I discovered I could trigger organic growth after getting first 1k subs using Fame Ster Socia my life just got easier and my main channel exploded. People are just looking at the numbers when searching for some content. If you have low subs no one cares abot you even if you have best content on platform.
I have watched sooo many videos on starting and growing a KZread channel, and this one is by far the best. Thank you so much, Alexis! I was vigorously writing notes the entire time as I plan to restart my channel soon and this was so helpful. I really appreciated all your tangible tips and specific ideas rather than just the general scheme of things.

Don't give up, you just started! your audience will find you. 🚀
This is fantastic. I wish all these tips existed a decade ago. There was so much gatekeeping that I constantly underpriced myself without realizing it. When a PR firm reaches out to you on behalf of a brand, they have money to spend. I noticed that my best quality videos came from work I did with brands that paid more - they hold you to a higher standard and it motivates you to outdo yourself. Speaking from experience, you never know when the contracts will dry up - so really charge your worth and then some!
I wish I had this guide back when I was starting. I was so mad because I had great content but no reach. 1k subs looked like 1 mil. Lucky me I came across Fame Ster and got my self first couple of Thousand real subs for very low price. After that my main channel gain a ton of organic traffic.
My portfolio has good companies, however it has been declining since last year. I have lost over 30% of my $600K portfolio in the stock market and i'm looking to recoup. How do i turn the tide around?

Find st0cks with market-beating yields and shares that at least keep pace with the market long term. For a successful long-term strategy you have to seek guidance from a broker or financial advisor.

Thank you Alexis! I appreciate your detailed advice KZread Video.
The best "how to start a KZread channel" video for REAL. I've searched for so many throughout the years and this is by far the most "humanized" and honest one.
you probably don’t even know how grateful I am to you for this series of videos on KZread. I literally sat with a pen and wrote down most of what was said, because in fact there are mostly only videos from big channels, but not from those who started organically and in their quiet time. (It will be nice later to remember that I am a subscriber from a couple of thousand haha) 💜 Also, I had a small question after this video, so if possible, open up the topic of managers later, it has always been a mystery to me how people find them, pick them up, are they given all the passwords and you just check up everything from them, do they make deals with brands and do they write like from you themselves?

Alexis! Hi! Thanx so much for the help. Your video has been the most easily comprehensible I've seen! You answered all of my "huh?"'s and worries. 😂 I'm more confident to continue filming and uploading. 🎉🎉🎉😊
Thank you for going so in depth for all of us future content creators out here! Loved this so much! 🙏🏻💞✨
thank you for giving us information that is not only useful, but purposeful and easy to understand more on your insight on youtube and your experience starting a channel. i have learned a lot from this video and i thank you for your honesty and allowing others to grow their channels!
Came here from the 10k video you posted about 6 months ago and subscribed from that too! Thank you so much for this video, started my channel a few months ago and I can’t wait to apply these tips!
Thank you so much for this video! So happy my home page suggested you :) As a new channel, it's a relief to know that my first 50 videos may be a little subpar 😅 this is the biggest note I'll be taking from this video, you've literally helped to take the weight of "perfection" off my shoulders and reminded me to just keep creating. Thanks again 💗
This was great! I learned more from you than any of the other 30 videos like this that I've watched. Thank you for doing this! I think it helps that you're so down to earth about it. ❤
Omg thank you so much! It seemed like the first video from a KZreadr who is honestly telling about their journey. Loved it!
Thank you for being so transparent with the growth of your channel and sharing all of your tips. This video was so insightful!
First time landing on your video, thank for this amazing content!! Yes, I did get a lot of great things out of your video, makes my work day go by a lot faster. Can’t wait to get home, rewatch the vid and take notes and start my channel. I’ve been putting it off for 4+ years!!😭😭
And here I thought I would have to hop around from video to video trying to learn how to become a KZread content creator and boom your video pops up with literally everything I need. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this for us. ❤

i absolutely love the video!! and the fact that it's actually long enough to include all the details, thank u sm!! can you show us some examples of scripting the video idea before filming? i was struggling with that a bit
This is probably one of the more helpful videos on this topic. Really appreciate your perspective.
Thanks for the thoughtful look into the beginning of your journey. Good luck! I appreciate your candor on numbers.
I've just watched a bunch of these youtube channel starting out videos and yours has been the most helpful! Telling us the actual resources you use (Canva, youtube copyright music) is such a huge help. Thanks!

Thank you so much Alexis for great tips! And for a tough truth 🙏🏼💚 KZread is teaching me to improve myself every single day, y’all just need to start a channel for a huge personal growth here, so worth it! Yesterday I watched my first video (which I thought was great) and omg it’s so embarrassing 😂 but at the same time, I’ve grown so much! 🎉
Omg thank you Alexis for this video. This is the first video I see, where a person is actually talking about the secret tips, real facts and just generally wants to help people out. But guys, I think that the most important thing by making this videos is to make them just how and because u like it. Just enjoy it❤
This was SUPER helpful! Didn't know so many things that went along with having a youtube channel. Thank you so much for the good info!
I literally almost clicked off because the video was so long😫 but my name is Alexis and I’m 25 too so I stayed. I’m so glad that I did😌 I took so many great notes from this video. I can’t wait to start my channel. And it also took me so much longer to watch having to pause and rewind for notes😅😂
This video was so helpful, i've watched countless videos, podcasts, etc sharing advise on youtube and this video helped enormously. I feel somewhat knowledgeable going into this industry. All the other videos have been blunt and boring in what information they give out, but alexis just spilled and was willing to share everything for successful entertainment! Thank you so much!
This information is so helpful! Thank you so much for including ALL of the basics of starting a channel and sharing your experiences of what worked best for you!
thank you for going so in depth because all the other videos I was coming across were not helpful at all to the kinds of questions I had.
3rd video I clicked & this is the most in depth one. Thanks
Alexis, you said it at the end of your Video, The Ultimate Guide 100%. I am so Grateful for this video, as I seen a few for beginners. Nothing came this close at covering everything as you have. Thank you so much for making this video and continued success, Always, Danielle from Canada 🙋♀❤
Thank you so much for this. You gave super interesting tips and tricks for starting a channel that not a lot of KZreadr share
Ton of valuable information! Thank you for making this video. I’m new to the KZread content creator space and this info is GOLDEN 🌟🌟

I've been on KZread 7yrs (I have 4 channels) and I think using a DSLR camera (Canon g7x Sony or canon 90D is possibly a good option) I started with my phone but got frustrated with always having to transfer files and running out of space and having to pay more to keep it all in tact. Plus when your out filming you get calls texts etc. Lights I have had them all a full photography studio of lights but they were bulky and hard to put up and take down and the average person doesn't have a studio to keep lights up like that so I decided using small lights or ring lights ( I use 4 cheap ones lol I got mine from walmart $29 a great affordable option) works just as well. Sound or audio aside from quality and lighting of course is almost THEEE MOST Important! I feel like some creators just don't really think about that. So looking into getting a good mic is really important. My motto is always stick to the Golden 3 RULES of filming. If they CANNOT SEE YOU they wont stay they'll click off. If your QUALITY FO FILM is Grainy or POOR they wont stay! And finally if they cannot HEAR you CLEARLY they wont stay. I think the very last thing I have found is if CHANNEL BACKGROUND esthetics are not Pleasing to the Eye ppl might not stay as well. People are visual and they want to feel at home and cozy watching you like you are just besties hangin out! So keep that in mind as well. I think that's the single thing I have found other than lights, camera, action! I feel like the public is a very fickle and sometimes creators just don't take into acct their backgrounds its almost as important as the quality you produce! Just my two cents. =)
this was so awesome and super helpful! thank you for putting so much detail into every aspect of your video :)
This is such a good video with great information. A lot of videos do have very similar information on starting youtube channels, but this one was so helpful and genuinely fresh. I really appreciated all the specific information. Thank you!!!!
Thank you! As a new KZreadr I STRUGGLE with picking a niche, but I’m going to keep making what I love and hopefully something just happens for me
thank you so much alexis! i'm trying to grow my channel right now and your videos have been so helpful
EXTREMELY informative. Thank soooooo much
I just started mine, and this has really helped me out. You broke it down in different categories.
It seems like you might have another niche because your youtube videos brought me here! But this is the best one I've seen because usually other channels are really big already, and don't get into specifics like you do. Your transparency greatly helped. Thanks!
One of the main reasons why the RPM varies for each video is that a large percentage of viewers are using Ad Blocker software. Ads are annoying and time wasters for the viewers which is understandable. For those who don’t have Ad Blockers installed, they can simply click/touch “Reload” at the very beginning of a video to skip the ad.
I found your channel through content about earning on KZread. HOWEVER, I really liked your personality in those videos, and now I'm watching your vlogs now :) Of course, I'm waiting for more channel growth content (I'm a creator too), but I also really enjoy other videos.
Alexis, thank you for doing this video. It's really helpful. Your honesty is appreciated.
Very good video, I plan on coming back when I need to refresh. Thank-you!
If you are watching this video rn don't give up on your KZread channel you can do it! + Have a nice day ✨
Thank you so much for all this information. It is indeed ALOT of information to take in, but I respect you so much for giving this out for free and really taking the time out of your life to do everything that you do. I 100% will always fully support your channel 🫡😎
This is one of the best video about KZread grow that i have watched so thanks!
Thank you Alexis for these tips, your videos are always really helpful ❤ I have to say that no matter what type of business you decide to start, you will always need a good social media presence. You will use it to either promote your product/service directly, or to have a place for sharing good content. In both cases I think you need to look credible, sou your customers could gain trust in your product. My go to service these days is Famester to boost my presence. I still don't get why people are afraid of using these while struggling to take their businesses off.
