You should also add a community page for more interaction with your audience.

Great strategy: less watching, more creating. Your unfair advantage is your great voice and your gaze into the camera. Continue your 31 day challenge.

You are too kind! Thanks for watching and for the feedback. Will definitely check out the community page. Didn't even know that was a thing, lol.

Yes, the community page is pretty much what it says - community. You will find that your subscribers will respond to each other and to you. It is much like a bonding place. Post some questions there and respond to the comments.

Count me in those stats!! Supporting a woman over 50 and her youtube challenge! DONE!! xo

Thank you!!!!!!

Hey lovely. I posted a video about 4 years ago out of pure curiosity. When I checked back in January this year 😆I had got 52 subscribers which I couldn't believe. It was the push I needed to crack on and make some more videos. I only post every week or two - I will not make videos if I have nothing interesting to share - but I hit 1000 subscribers on 3rd May which was just so exciting - and I got monetized on 19th June. It's absolutely pennies and I've not had my first payment yet because the threshold is £60 - but I am so honoured and thrilled to have reached this point and to have started to build a community of lovely people to share my life with. What I'm trying to say is - keep being your lovely authentic self and your audience will find you. Definitely use the Community tab on your channel to share updates and have conversations with your followers. Make your videos because it's what you enjoy, not because you think it's what people want to see. I think you lose your identity if you just do what you think people want and it stops being fun. I'm looking forward to following your journey x

Hi Alison, thank you so much! I just went to your channel and subscribed, too. I could listen to you all day! I especially need to watch the menopause one. Congrats on getting monetized. That's fantastic. I so appreciate the kind encouragement and I will definitely check out the Community tab. I totally agree about authenticity. I'm really enjoying the process and it has been such a therapeutic process even if no one follows, lol. Looking forward to following your journey as well!

Inspiring! I started my channel and haven’t set aside the time to continue, so now I need to re-learn everything it feels like. Good ideas on what to work on. Thanks

Hi Molly, thanks for stopping by! I went to your channel and subscribed. I used to homeschool my kids so your organizational video was a trip down memory lane. YES! Jump back in. You'll be surprised at how fast it comes back to you. Looking forward to following your journey!

Awesome job, I subscribed!!! Love your ideas and YES, I never realized how much I say ‘so’😂😂😂 Started my channel this week at 54-years-young and I just love how all of us 50+ are starting KZread, sharing our voice, and courageously stepping into a creative space that nourishes us!!!

Woo hoo! So proud of you for getting started. I'll hop over and check out your channel this weekend. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! And I love your description of what we're doing as 50+ women on her "sharing our voice, and courageously stepping into a creative space that nourishes us!!!".

@@Shushingtheshame1 Thank you!!! I love how we all support each other, it makes KZread feel like a super supportive place to be to share ourselves!

I'm just now starting to focus on growing my KZread Channel too. I mostly do podcasts so this is a stretch goal for me. I've subbed and we don't know each other - so +1 to you!!!

Hi Brandon! Yes, to just saying F*CK it! I hate regret and I've had enough to last a lifetime. No matter the outcome, we will know we DID IT instead of just talking about it. Thanks for watching, subbing and commenting. I'll hop over and check out your channel this weekend. All the best to you!
