my first year on YouTube | motivation, equipment and strategies

Hi loves! I can't believe that it is already one year since I posted my first KZread video. It has been the most fun journey and I have learned so many things on the way. I wanted to make a video to emphasise how much you can achieve by solely taking action in your life. You all are so talented and you just can't let fear and other people stop you from reaching your fullest potential. In this video I go through tips and tricks on how to start a KZread channel and all the things that go into making a video like thumbnails, titles and tags. I also tell you all about my equipment and what softwares I use to edit my videos and thumbnails. I hope that you learn something from this video and I want to thank you so much for all the love and support that I have received over the past year. I love you all so much!!!

    As a fellow KZreadr I totally agree with you that it takes motivation, effort, and the will to develop in order to grow on KZread as it is such a big time investment! It takes hours/days to film, edit, upload, and promote. But you are doing a great job!!💜 PS: I ADORE your nail colour!

    Ay Birta, you are so lovely to watch, I can understand why you have had a good first year on YT. You have so much engagement form your audience and it really makes sense because you feel like such a genuine breath of fresh air in this community. This was probably the first video of this kind that I feel like I learned something from. I am not interested in being a content creator, but after watching I am like "but Birta is having so much fun with it!" 🤣 Congrats on your success so far, I look forward to seeing you grow more!❤

    Hallo Birta, thank you for sharing your motivation and all that. I just want to say I lived in the Netherlands for a year as an au pair and I travelled a lot and it was such an amazing time in my life. I only visited Copenhagen for 9 hours exactly and I really wished I could see more of it and Scandinavia and through your videos this is possible. Not to put pressure on you but I live vicariously through your videos. Please visit NL and tell me what you think of it. Not just Amsterdam but Utrecht, Maastricht, Dordrecht and Zaandam are also great and beautiful cities. I look forward to your videos every week cause I am like it is Wednesday and Birta will be posting a video.

    Hi Birta 💜 First of all, I want to say that I absolutely love your content. I was actually really curious about your KZread strategy, so this video came at a perfect time! Thank you for taking the time to film & post this. As a half-Danish half-Turkish artist/wannabe content creator, I was so ready to give up on my KZread journey this past year, although I uploaded 20+ videos, my strategies simply did not work for me and I ran out of motivation. Then, one day my algorithm lead me to discover your channel and your lovely energy and creativity really brought back my hope and motivation to give it all another shot and continue. I can really sense that you are a kind soul and simply wanted to let you know that as an influencer, you really made (and continue to make) a huge difference in my life, so I truly want to thank you. Also -planning on hopefully moving back to Copenhagen soon, so would love to meet you in person over a coffee 🌞✨ Keep shining! Sending love..

    Hi Birta! Your vlogs are like short movies in which there is a beautiful girl and a handsome fiancé.They tell us the story about their everyday lives and how they enjoy their lives.I have seen some of your vlogs in which both of you look towards each other so lovingly like their is no one except the both of you. Hope you make everyday vlogs in the future.♥️

    I recommend the Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 Full Frame mirrorless camera, which offers 10-bit video (4:2:2). I had a Sony Alpha ZV-E10, but I sold this camera, because it had burnt spots on the video, overall it offered average image quality :). P.S.: You have a problem with audio and video synchronization, the sound is out of sync halfway through the video :)

    dear Birta thank you so much for this video, and of course all other videos you’ve made!! i’ve enjoyed all of them 🤍 i still remember i came across a tiktok of yours when you were just living in cph, and i immediately starterd following your tt and insta. I was so happy when you started a yt channel as well!! your videos are my fave! 💕 and what you said about fear, you are so right! for a long time (and still often) i’ve been letting the fear win from the curiousity. I’m so happy that a while ago I finally decided to apply for an exchange semester abroad, and last week I heard that i’m going to Oslo!! I’m so happy that i didnt let fear win from me this time 🥰 my next goal is to be more active on instagram and try to grow my audience there, but its still scary… But these tips will defenitely help me! ☺️ Thank you birta for uploading every week and making me look forward to something all week. And also thank you for replying to all my comments and engaging with your audience. That defenitely makes you stand out 💕
