I literally just started my channel over 10 weeks ago, and decided this week to delete the youtube studio app because I was checking it every day. I guess it’s kinda normal in the beginning, you’re curious about what’s happening, but I sensed I was not dealing with it in a healthy way. It was my way of not letting youtube decide my worth (because I’m quite sensitive to that), so thank you for your videos, they are really reassuring

I deleted mine too. Nothing feels worse than making a video you love and it ends up being a 10/10. At the end of the day, I'm making videos my way and doing the best I can at times and it either grows or it doesn't but since I'm documenting my life I refuse to create videos about creating videos (not to offend those who are in that exact niche of teaching that). I live where I live (a small mexican town) I am who I am (a middled aged retired surfer) and life is what it is. Niche up, niche down, keyword this and that when you can but at the end of the day the videos that people love find an audience and a community builds. best of luck to you wawa :)

I just started making videos last week. I have been gifted with so many physical and nontangible items that have allowed me the opportunity to create. For the first three months, I am just going to focus on making good videos and nothing else. If I think about all of the things I need to I get overwhelmed and discouraged. My goal is to get three weeks worth of videos before I start posting to youtube/tiktok. Sometimes it feels like a waste of time because everything takes me FOREVER. Then I just remind myself that I am learning new skills that will take me to that next part of my life journey.....whatever that is.

Excellent advice. Especially the side note at 5:35. This is under looked and has been the biggest pain for me the last 2 years. One viral video, that I never doubled down on, and has always made it difficult to steer away in other directions because the audience from that video want more of the same. Great video Katie, always enjoy your perspective

Thank you so much for the tips. I finally got monetized and I guess what I'm working on now is not being obsessed with the subscriber count. I truly believe that after that 1,000k mark..after that it doesn't matter.Get to 1k and 4,000 watch hours. Your videos should be trying to reach views the subscribers will come after that. I think in the beginning it's slow and feels like you're not growing as quickly as you should. I actually appreciate that the KZitem studio app allows you to see what your CURRENT subscribers are searching for and their interests. Good luck everyone !! Your audience is out there just keep posting !!

Why I love your channel is because you have strategies that are realistic I feel like lots of advice videos are click bait and dont really adress the average youtuber. They focus on going viral which is truly unlikely and not the norm. I've had a YT for over 10 years only 1k subs recently and I always felt like I could never keep up with YT trends and numbers etc. I just want to make videos I like and other people like me want to watch. I have spent 2 years cranking out 1 video per week trying to follow that consistency advice but hadn't really worked for me (PS I'm a mom of 2 work full time - it's hard to find time to create so I do what i can 😅) But I like this approach of getting on the homepage. I'm going to try to slow down production too and make more quality videos! Here's to 2023! Thanks for making great videos - best of luck to you and business this year!

I love these tips Katie. I can relate to getting disheartened when you get great views for a while and then it goes back down again. I recently has a video that got really high views for me (50k+) and a few more videos after that got good views, and then they went back to normal. I'm trying not to chase that '1 out of 10' in the creator studio and attach my worth to it. BTW, do you have a video about making thumbnails? I'm trying to improve my CTR this year, starting with better thumbnails.
