Good morning, Alexa! Yesterday I applied for your case study. As I stand here stirring eggs, I'm realizing I misunderstood the intent behind some of the questions! I hope you can arrive at where my mindset was! I currently make $0 on KZitem as I have not started a public channel. The second part of my drive to start a channel is to create a lifestyle that frees up more time to better help me homeschool my 7yo. I have only ever heard "a single mom is not capable of working and homeschooling successfully." I just don't believe that! I so appreciate and identify with you are ability to take on and overcome challenges while staying present with your children! Thank you for taking that step and sharing your journey with the world!

Great video! Something I’ll add onto that is to participate in other channels or in communities of other creators that you’re a big fan of or that you look up to. I regularly leave comments and participate in livestreams of channels I like as much as I can, and that has done absolute wonders for my growth. Also, the great thing about that is that there’s often a lot of crossover within the audience members that takes place between the two audience groups, which is really awesome!

Always so motivating and encouraging, Alexa!! I wasn't sure what number of weekly videos was realistic since I have a full-time job, but I've been doing three videos a week since starting about six weeks ago, and surprisingly, it's been not only doable but very enjoyable! Plus, I've been making most of them into Shorts. I think part of why it's not too much for me and why I'm not experiencing burnout is that I'm feeding that part of me that craves time to create. 😌💖 Thanks for your great advice, as usual! 🥰

Thanks Alexa, I'm enjoying your content! My question is if you think channels that are NOT talking about how to make money, grow on YT or other platforms, manifest millions, etc. can still have the same kind of growth and success with this advice. I'm seeing so many success stories in my feed but every single one of them is a channel in some aspect of the money-making or success online niche. This isn't the content I'm here to make and it feels like anyone not selling a dream to viewers is facing a harder journey.

I certainly agree with you there.. Channel growth is rather like the turtle and the hare. Some channels do achieve monetisation very quickly. Other channels grow very, very slowly indeed, and it takes them a few years to achieve those magic monetisation figures. This scenario definitely reflects itself in the channels that I am subscribed to. I'm not living in cloud cuckoo land about my channel 🤣. I'm 70, enjoying my journey, and the learning curve in producing videos is giving me a new focus in life......plus it is helping to keep my little grey cells active

Such great advice! You always make me feel better about this journey--I have met with such weird resistance trying to get one video out a week: film a video, find out there's no sound, film it again, no sound. Things like that--I've still managed to do one a week (well, maybe one time it was a week and a half), but it's felt like pulling teeth--the tech, not me. But what I discovered yesterday was I could have filmed another one right away: my energy was good, the tech was working, the Universe was complying :), but I had a meeting, so I couldn't. Buuuuuut, now I know to schedule my filming in BIG chunks, so I have the time to keep going. I'm only on video four since I started in earnest, I am seriously considering your advice to do more than one video a week, and I can do it if I schedule the filming in chunks. Okay, I've gone on long enough! Thank you, as always!

I wonder how long you can keep this up, Alexa. After a while you may be asking yourself, what more can I say. Personally, I've run into that in the last few months. But, it's not that there isn't something new to say, it's more like you have to dig for it. It does become harder as time goes on. Yes, that's way you really need to love your subject. At 1 year and 16 days I'm at 896 subs. I spend a lot of time, thinking what should I post next. A lot of the time it's because what is next is hard. And, after several months in, you realize hard is boring!! No one wants to be bored with their job. I think this is the first time I haven't watched one of your videos all the way through. Not to discourage you but, it is something to think about. Could be just my mood as I try to come up with something new🤭 for my next video.
@richardhyatt-beekeeping
24 күн бұрын
Ok, you got another 20+ minutes of my watch time. I think for someone who is completely new 2 or 3 videos a week is a bit much. New creators have to learn how to film, edit, talk, baby steps. Most of us don't have video background, script writing, KZitem knowledge, etc.. And, time is a factor. If you post 3 videos a week that's a lot. One fair video a week is great for someone just learning these skills. Everyone seems to push the idea that you can build a KZitem channel in a month or so. Or a year and a half. It can happen in a few weeks as you have proved. But, it took dedication and serious WORK, I'll bet. Keep in mind that while I have 896 subs, I only have 697 public watch hours. At that projectiion 4,000 public watch hours is still 4 years away! I have another 30 days or so, to hit 1000 subs. After that I'll see if I can cut that down but, I'm not sure It will be soon.
