Love watching your channel grow ❤

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Oh thank you! That's lovely to hear! 🥰

[@BBenoist]

Great tips. Especially your bonus ones which I will not giveaway here. People just need to watch to the end to discover what those tips are 😁

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Thank you! I appreciate you keeping the "secret" 😄 Hopefully new video up tomorrow showing how to use canva to make a eye-catching banner. Thanks again for watching! 🙂

Woot! 1st commenter! Gurl…you are in beast mode doing these videos!

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Beast mode is on! haha This idea was generated by VidIQ testing to see how it compares to my own ideas...of course I enhanced it with my own dialogue, but outlined by VidIQ so let's see what happens.🤔 I wanted to create a different title, but this one had a rating of 95 in the app, so very curious to if the computers are smarter than us. 😅haha :) Thanks for the support as always - it's much appreciated!

[@MeredithLeigh81]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing! Definitely going to use some of these in my next video. I’m playing around with transitions and text on the screen to break things up bit.

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Thanks for watching Meredith! I appreciate it - more than you know! Definitely play around with those, I am going to make a tutorial soon about how to create slides for your videos in canva as well as where to find great free video footage and gifs! Stay tuned and thanks again for watching! xoxo

Hi Alexa, your tips were all useful. I just posted my 10th KZbin video on June 2nd and I guess I can no longer claim beginner status! Ha! I did try in my first 10 videos to experiment with a few different topics (early retirement, slow living, and my new KZbinr journey as a GenXer) and the YT Studio analytics tell me that of these 3 topics my audience is only interested in one of them - early retirement. I confess to being a bit sad that I can't branch too far out in different directions with my channel, but I do understand the logic with the algorithm. It actually helps me - now I know where to focus my time and energy. No need to make more videos on topics my audience has no interest in! You had mentioned in one of your earlier videos that you live in Finland and I thought that was so interesting! Like how did you end up there, how long have you lived there, where do you live, what is it like being an American there? I would be so interested to know more about these things. Have you given any thought to creating another channel that is a vlog style on being an American in Finland? You would attract an entirely different audience. I think there are many Americans who are seriously interested in moving abroad and would like to know what it is like to be an expat in Finland, which is constantly at on the top of the Happiest Countries lists. I follow this couple KZbin (Grounded Life) and they have several KZbin channels, and each one has its own theme and revenue stream. It is more of a time commitment but they seem to enjoy it. I guess that is one tip to earn income on KZbin - have multiple channels! I'm looking forward to your future videos! Thanks!!!

Is this a sign?! I have had so many signs the past few days regarding doing a different channel with a different focus. I’ve been considering exactly what you wrote - serendipity maybe? ☺️ Thank you for the idea confidence. I think I will start it actually, because I am incredibly passionate about living abroad and raising my children here and how wonderful living abroad is (and the difficulties), but yes I think you have been the final push for me to start that channel! Woohoo. 🥳 As for your channel you could start there in the retirement zone and then branch out more once you grow. Are you passionate about early retirement? I think that draws quite a range of folks. So that’s great! It’s really nice to hear from you and learn about your journey. 💛

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

I started it! No vids yet, but it's called Found in Finland

[@kristannonfire]

@@AlexaSaarenoja Yay!!!! I’m subscribing right now! Make sure to tell your viewers on your original channel that you’ve got a new channel - I bet many will subscribe! 😀

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

@@kristannonfire Thanks will do!

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

@@kristannonfire And thank you for subscribing - you would be numero uno!!! woohoo!!

[@franciscokameko4671]

Thanks for these videos! Is there any way that you can raise the volume of your videos? I have my headphones on high, but your voice doesn’t seem to go loud enough. Thanks! Keep it up. Your vids are super helpful.

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Yes I have since fixed this!! Thanks to a viewer like yourself sharing that info with me! I had no idea about my mic settings within the audio of my computer settings! 😅 But anyway fixed now 🎉🎉❤️

How do you do a clickable survey at the end? I've never heard of or seen that.

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

You can create a survey/poll in the community tab. I think it is only available to those with 500+ subs. You can create it in your video in the cards section when you upload and you choose poll instead of video or playlist. You can also do this later if you want to add it to an already posted video. Just edit video and go to cards and add a new one. Hope this helps! Xoxo

[@PeaceKitty]

Hi Is it a good idea to start the channel with several videos being released at once? Or is one ok? Thanks!

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

One is totally fine and expected I think when you have few subs. So just go for it and don't overthink it too much! If you want to wait and upload a few at once, that could work too. But there are usually so few people watching in the beginning it doesn't matter that much. xoxo

[@PeaceKitty]

@AlexaSaarenoja Thanks Alexa! Just wondering, by any chance would you be able to help me (and my wife) with something... we are literally starting our new holistic-wellbeing-coaching business (called Aligned Harmony) and we are looking to have a successful KZbin channel as a significant part of the work. I'm looking for a mentor really as our need is to get going quickly. I understand you will be probably quite full with projects, but I imagine you would find our project interesting. Thanks!
