it’s funny how the algorithm works.. an hour before seeing this video i texted my boyfriend that i was done trying to make this dream happen because i’ve been so frustrated, trying for years, to grow an audience and feel like a failure year after year. after watching this video and a few other videos of yours i noticed that you give a lot of mindset shifting advice that other “gurus” don’t talk about. your advice reaches beyond just analytics and you have really turned my day around and gave me the motivation to take a new approach with my content and keep making the content that i love and focusing on growing both online and in my everyday life. thank you for this video!!

Tessa, i can relate to you.

Edits are dope. Chapters are convenient. Advice is honest and valuable. Audio sounds great. It's crazy how often we have to remind each other to do what we love and stop chasing money. Lol the end of your video is very strong of using hate strategically to qualify a warm, hot lead by annoying the ones you could've never served in the first place

I actually do share your content with folks all the time! You have some of the most helpful creator content I've found.

I had to sit down and rewatch this video because I've been feeling incredibly let down and disappointed in my content over the past year or so. It feels like nothing I do has reached my followers, even the ones who regularly engage with my content, and made me question why I share what I share. It absolutely has a lot to do with comparing myself to others, though I try hard not to do that. I've been feeling like nothing on Instagram is worth the time and effort I put in to only reach 40 people when I used to reach a few hundred. While my content has never gained a wide following, it used to be a lot better. The more I think about it, the more I'm realizing that I need to take a step back and have a serious conversation with myself about why I'm doing this, what my goals are, and what I'm going to do next.

i make art and i keep seeing people with way worse art skills are making a living from the social media stuff. i feel really defeated and disappointed for this since my accounts aren't even at 200 yet.

@lightlawliet3526 don't feel you have to become a marketer to sell your art. You are an artist stay an artist and befriend a marketer it will be less stressful if you do not have to learn something you are not passionate about. Plenty of marketers here would be happy to give you free advice myself included but just outsource the marketing and it will be much easier for you trust me marketing is extremely hard and there is a lot of snake oil out there so by making a bunch of marketing friends you'll learn what's right for you by getting all that expert advice

oh same, growing an art account especially right now on instagram feels kinda dire! My last quarter I gained 1 follower in 3 months despite making 5-6 reels a week hahaha. And it's like, I have a webcomic that has over 6K followers on webtoon, but the followers don't travel from one account to another, so my comic instagram doesn't ever exceed 200 followers. Social media right now is sooo weird. I just have to constantly remind myself to make small adjustments over time and focus on the audience I have. So after I do my daily reel (which usually doesn't land whatever) I just hang out in stories where I can at least connect with the people that care. Otherwise it feels a lot like "why am I still doing this?"

I feel you! Same here. I think we need to look at our art differently. Good art cannot be created like a machine like these platforms expect. Also I tend to unfollow artists who just upload every day to be honest coz it gets too much… So I think there is a balance that needs to be created❤ haven’t figured that out yet but that’s my next step. And contrary to what Jade said throwing money at the problem in our case acutually helps. I ran 2 ads on 2 pieces and got amazing feedback. So it’s not your art that is the problem. Sending you love

Good art does not mean you're also entertaining... social media is about entertainment

I feel this so hard!! I feel like I’ve done everything I can and just nothing. Crickets. My art takes too long to post constantly and keep it entertaining. It’s exhausting.

Needed this! The LOVE for creating content is REAL for me. It's my north star!⭐

I use FB groups where my target audience is too & that was a game changer 🙌🏾💜💜💜 I tell folks about you all of the time

I have told so many of my Colleagues about your videos and now we all talk about how amazing your ideas are!!!

Thank you so much for this. I've been in denial a bit about struggling with my bookstagram and stagnant growth. I've been trying to hit 1500 followers for two years now, and am close to 1000 but I've been at it for some time and I've always struggled to get growth, mostly because I don't want to show myself in reels. My biggest issue is comparison. I see people who don't do reels at all, and have been here for half the time I have and already have way more followers and can't seem to figure out why when we're all sharing such similar content. This video really has given me ideas to reevaluate and crack on as I'm aware my posts are probably jaded now. Thanks Jade for sharing these tips.

It’s how you said “Quick coffee break and then an ad pops up immediately 😊

Great insights into how to make a lasting impression on your audience and become their go-to resource for information on your topic.

Thank you for the information!

Definitely needed this video! Jade always comes through at the perfect time

Thank you jade! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 nedded this!

Thanks for this, Jade.

I like this type of motivational/inspirational content from you Jade, especially when you talk about mindset. In one of your much earlier videos, you talked about how you would practice gratitude when you were younger, even before you knew the ‘benefits of having a positive and grateful mindset’… do you remember talking about that in a video? I’d like to hear more about this, more about your mindset etc. Thanks for your great videos, they are helping me. Keep up the great work, it’s been fun to follow your YT journey and cheer on your successes!

Thanks Jade! The video I didn't know I needed x

Jade, thank you for your words of advice. I think a lot of us needed to hear this. I felt like giving up last week because I thought I wasn't growing and since I don't niche down, it's hard to identify my audience. I had to come to terms with myself that my audience is the people who like me for who I am overall. Love your tips and strategies when it comes to being a content creator. Thank you 🥰

Jade, I have totally recommended your channel! keep up the good work!

I share you all the time! You always share such great stuff 💕

I needed this today. Thank you.

Jade, I really needed to hear this. I got serious about my instagram and tik tok about three months ago and while I’ve seen progress on tik tok, instagram has had me so frustrated. 😭 I’ve been posting every day only to grow by like two followers a month. Putting all that work in and getting zero to no reward has been difficult. These tips are so helpful. It’s also great to know that I’m not the only one going through this. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Thank you Jade! 🙏🏼 this is exactly what I needed to hear at this exact moment! 🥰

Your content is so true and I love it! Thank you Jade, for these wise advices!!! Love you!💗

I needed this. Thank you 😊

Loved this one🙌💗💗

Thank you Jade, this was so encouraging 🥹

I share your content all the time with friends. Recently, my goddaughters and I started an Etsy shop, and I made a playlist for them to better understand the content and priorities we need to invest in for the marketing. As a corporate marketer (me), you're content is just ON POINT and succinct. So GOOD!

Thank You, I appreciate it

Thanks 🙏🙏. This is what i needed to hear

Ive watched 2 videos and im a believer. Your content is so genuine and helpful!!! Thank you and please DONT’T STOP!

Excellent advice! It's nice to hear some suggestions that are different.

You are fabulous! I'm so glad I discovered your channel.

Great video as always, giving hope even when all the odds are against us✨ I'm a cosplayer, and this niche became more social media focused. Very often I see other cosplayers, my friends talking about low engagement, struggles of managing social media. Everytime when someone brings out this topic I always mention you. You're practical advices and information you're giving on your channel are always very easy to understand and adapt to every niche. They're always amazed by your videos. Lately, my close friend told me, that because of your channel they're finally seeing some changes and effects. I hope you're having a great day and thank you for your hard work💖

Thank you so much Jade!!! This is the video I truly needed to see today 🥰

Jade, thank you for your educational videos on social media! You are actually very honest and talk to the point.

I share your content to everyone who is starting now because you are so concise and on the money! You break it down well and give a shared perspective unique to the creators I work with

Thank you for this info. The point about taking a break and then starting back refreshed is so valuable. Sometimes life gets so hectic that you have to take a break. Keep giving us valuable content, Jade.

Always dropping 💎 as always. I literally referenced & shared your video to someone just a week ago. Gurll we talk about you cos you're the plug here 👌🏾

You are helping me so much at the moment when all I think about is giving up! I don’t want to give up! I love KZread so much! It’s a huge passion of mine and I really want to succeed in growing a community more than anything but I’ve been doing this for 7 years now and it’s seems so impossible. I’m an artist making tutorials and I love it but I used to have a vlogging channel about my life and I kind of miss that. I was wondering if there could be a way of me doing both ?

Wow simply Amazing again I appreciate you great advice truly inspiring thanks

Great advice, i liked it😊

This is what I needed to hear

thanks for sharing - for me This season is for KZread.... and Im telling myself not to get discouraged.

I literally just forwarded one of your videos to my daughter yesterday who was complaining about lack of engagement in Instagram! 💚

Giving up is not a option. Thanks for sharing these tips and another informative & inspirational video Jade. Love 💞Jade.

LOL yes, I tell all of my social media friends about you Jade!

Love your accent! 😊 great video - thank you! ❤ I am a very small channel so this is helpful!

I talk about you to my friends regularly!

Thank you for your encouragement really great video it’s giving me such a uplifted keep pushing on KZread. Thank you so much❤

I actually do that 😅 I shared your channel with my friends that are looking for a sound of reason when talking about social media 😄 thanks for the value you add in every video - I really enjoy them!

Oh, so you've been in my head have you? Thank you for making a wonderful video that is exactly what I need! I am currently doing all the things you said not to do and not doing enough of what I should be doing! Time to reverse that.

I think your videos (and this one specifically) are great, especially for creators where their face is their brand. For me, I work with food brands where the product is the star and budget is very limited, making a lot of the recommendations a little bit difficult to apply. We were growing like crazy until September when our reach and growth came to a full stop and we still have not been able to get out of it. We offer educational content (nutrition/food facts from dietitians), entertainment/inspiration (UGC recipes), inspiration (BTS from our founder and her story) and still nothing. Do you have any recommendations specifically for food brands that do not rely on having an actual person in videos?

So funny I gave your links to a friend this after noon😃

Love your voice and accent 😍

Hello Jade, I have been watching your videos for about a month, and I have benefited from them immensely. Thank you for making this knowledge available. I have a question for you. Since content that has value does better, what point of value should I be including in my content for my handmade jewelry business?

This was a mini therapy session for us who have lost all hope 😊

Thank you for this video! I love your content and I listen to your podcast. I just subscribed and joined the family 💕

Yesterday morning I sent your link to another aspiring content creator like myself.

I love how you say each view is a human. I tell myself that… like if I only get a thousand views that’s still a GIANT PARTY that could not fit in my house 💖

I wish I knew more, had more experience in all this. Most of all, I wish I could borrow Jade for a few days for hand holding of an old lady creator who is just starting out...... I appreciate you x

Wow and I was just considering boosting my posts 😅 Let me refocus

I was literally talking to my mom about you today lol

The challenge is: you need to be famous to grow, you need to grow to become famous... Our content is great (honestly, it is), but people don't know us yet and the algorithm doesn't help (and why would it? It's not like youtube cares?). So it's a constant struggle to grow.... and yeah, I do compare our content with other similar channels and my gosh, people post garbage! But once you're famous people still love it, and so does the algorithm (obviously).

Ive got almost 500 videos on YT and im not even monetised i just dont know what to do! im trying so hard

Just so you know, I absolutely recommend you to anyone I know trying to grow their social media ❤ I send them links and everything. It helps me too because people want me to teach them everything because I have a big following but you would teach them better and they can watch your vids in their own time.
