START A YOUTUBE CHANNEL: Steps to create a successful channel from the start | YOUTUBE FOR BEGINNERS

[@kaussar]

i feel so down about my yt channel bc im not getting enough views and subs but tbh everytime i watch one of your videos i just feel better and get some motivation to keep going. thank you :))

[@ephraimsalvan8111]

You’re channel is blowing up and I👏🏻AM👏🏻HERE👏🏻FOR👏🏻IT

[@DanielRizza]

I feel like I'm late to the party. But I'm not. Go, Cathrin, go!

[@lorenrenee1]

I’ve been binging on your channel but this one is the best and most specific by far.

[@TiffanysBunnyGang]

I film & edit everything on my iPhone XS Max, natural light or a lamp & use my ear bud mic for audio. My quality is not bad but it could be better. I will upgrade as I grow.

[@DanielRizza]

Your channel is so cute! I love it!

[@SuzietheSchnauzer]

Cute bunnies and love your content, Subscribed! 😊

[@Chriss_Workshop]

I love to rewatch some of these videos to get myself into the right headspace for shooting my next video. Keep working until that dream becomes a reality everyone

[@justcallmejas5464]

I’m so happy youtube recommended you to me !! You are so genuine and you have really grown organically. I loveeee your channel 💕

[@glamgio_nyc]

I started my channel in October of 2018 but only started posted super consistently this year! I am proud to say I've been posting consistently and incorporating your tips since January and have gone from 47 to 102 subscribers! I can't wait to keep creating!😍

[@MindsetTheory]

Congrats, that's huge! Checked out your channel, but can't say I can relate to it, but keep up the amazing work and best of luck. :)

[@manuelarpo_]

I literally found your videos two days ago, and your videos inspired me so much to do my KZbin channel along with my family! I’ve been hesitant to do it for at least 8 months because I am so scared of what people had to say and scared I won’t be able to make it on KZbin..thank you for your amazing videos! I keep watching them all day long

[@olivierntahiraja3685]

One thing I like about you girl is that you are Authentic. You seem to be honest and Your advices are more helpful

[@alitrialchannel]

Girl!!!! I made the leap and am fully committed to KZbin now! Thank you so much cathrin! MY KZbin channel is for latina single moms from low income communities to get inspired and push through their struggles!!! I got mine and I share them with the world now! Let’s go! 💕♥️

[@Sukini1211]

Thank you so much for all your tips, work, and effort. I have been binging your videos, taking notes, and challenging myself. You have helped me a lot these last few days 😅

[@AliciaBLifestyle]

I’ve been making videos on KZbin for a while now but only started really taking it serious January 2018. So I enjoy these type of videos so much because I’m always trying to improve and level up my editing as well as my content! Keep em coming! 💙

[@CathrinManning]

Well I'm glad you like them! If you have any specific KZbin questions, just let me know :)

[@meghirsch3473]

I’ve been watching your videos for a little while now. I love how upbeat and positive you are. As a brand new youtuber, I appreciate it :)

[@jspringerwrites3873]

This girl is killing the game. Gonna be fun to watch and implement strategies into my own content. Trying to build an author platform while dealing with real life has been crazy, but watching stuff like this is reinvigorating. Hopefully, it'll pay off and be worth it in the end :)

[@CathrinManning]

Oh thank you so much!! I'm glad you like my videos and find them helpful :)

[@cdboyce17]

I don't know about anyone else but I am hopefully in the process of starting my KZbin channel but I have literally watched multiple of your videos over and over again to help myself get on it!

[@MARCELACARRASCO]

you are the best! i think i watched 90% of your videos!!! please post more and more haha

[@artinspirability4993]

I feel like 2020 is THE YEAR for us small youtubers to grow! Let’s do it guys!!

[@mimihair3805]

Let's!

[@knowledgecrumbs8423]

Time to shine!! Race you:))

[@actualchrisreid]

Yes, I am feeling really inspired this year. Just started my new channel and going into this whole journey head first. Good luck to you all!

[@evatheveganteen9771]

Especially for everyone spreading a good message.

[@otrovnaskorpija4481]

Lets do it!

[@lailasescape672]

Just started a KZbin channel today and it’s all due to you and your videos. So many of your videos r literally the guide that led me to creating my channel!

[@NineBlooms]

This is so what I need!! Thank you for constantly sharing your wisdom! I’m 7 videos in and constantly working to improve!

[@CathrinManning]

You’re so welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful!

[@TiffanysBunnyGang]

I agree, the only way to get better at speaking on camera is to do it!

[@CathrinManning]

Practice makes perfect!

[@pamieafg]

This is definitely what I needed. After searching for videos on how to start a KZbin channel, I’ve only seen 2 people including yourself that says to practice in front of our camera. Or make practice videos. Today, I’ll be filming a practice video and going to try out your tips here and on your ‘KZbin video outlines’. Thanks so much for you hard work and commitment! It has really added towards my understanding of creation.

[@jamesrperry]

Cath, your channel was the reason I started 2.5 years ago. I just came back with my first video after 2 years away and I'm so pleased to be creating again. Hopefully not too far from 1000 subs now. Good luck everyone, you can do this!

[@TiffanysBunnyGang]

Fun fact 95% of people quit on youtube before they get to 1,000 subscribers & only 1% get to 1million.

[@torilaneross]

Ohh love this fact! Where did you see this??

[@tybalt915]

Bonus fact: 25% of young people start a KZbin channel

[@structurefitness]

im gonna be in that 1% haha

[@dianemcadamsmsdianepetrama464]

Cool beans!

[@PaulKaylen]

Soon +0.1% when I hit 1 Million 😎

[@TangledGrace]

You have inspired me to start this journey! Here we go!

[@bryonnaelizabeth6908]

Hannah Swanson Subbed girl, lets grow together. 💕

[@itskirstie]

Such a cute sloth painting!! 😊

[@TangledGrace]

Study Kirstie thanks! 😊

[@DayoSamuelMastery]

The "KZbin channel" you said in this video is probably about 2 million 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am on your playlist and watching this at the moment. I'm glad I've practiced many of these already. More to come

[@ThisIsSnaik]

I assumed you have 500K subscribers and views per video - that's how good all your content is! Filled with useful inspiration, good storytelling and editing. Keep it up, you're gonna be big!

[@CathrinManning]

Oh thank you so much! I'm working my way up so hopefully I'll have that many subscribers one day :)

[@JamesMuldrow]

Did you really go from 1500 to 150K+ in 9 months!? I’m amazed, proud, and taking notes!

[@strongeronplants]

That is so crazy right??? She's so close to 300k!

[@coffeebean_gina]

I made a deal with myself to truly work and put in the effort to make my channel and I'm glad I found this channel to help me grow THANK YOU

[@asialuka5812]

Omg you have been absolutely an inspiration to me this past months!! You really motivated me to finally film my first proper video and share it on youtube. Even that i haven’t made any progress as it still too early of course i feel so motivated to continue filming at list once a week for now xx Thank you so much xxx 😘 You are amazing xxx

[@mathsimplified8172]

Yes!! Good luck to all the new youtubers out there (including me ahaha)!! Keep on it - you will get there!!

[@Thesavannahgrace]

I've been binge watching all of your videos. I have learned so much from you! Thank you so much for putting out amazing content that helps others. I recently started my yt and I will definitely be implementing a lot of the tips you are sharing!

[@TheCarlrivera]

I’ve avoided making a KZbin video, even though I’ve wanted to for a little over two years. I FINALLY decided fear of failure or the excuse of “not having editing skills, not good equipment, etc.” prevented me from starting. Like you’ve said first 100 videos will suck, and I just couldn’t let that fear keep me from starting... I took the dive and made my first video and I honestly wouldn’t have figured out without discovering your instructional tips. So thank you, while My next 100 may be crap - starting and getting out my own way is the first step. Step 2 is figuring out all the insane tech support through you !!! Thanks so much !!

[@hiitsaggie]

I have literally binge watched all of your videos about starting a KZbin channel. New KZbinr here, so found them very informative. Thank you 🙂

[@mykelknight09]

Wow! You're video HAS to be the best " How to start a KZbin Channel" I've EVER seen. You explained it so perfectly. How do you not have over a million subs?? 👍 Seriously, great job!! 👏

[@EmilyGamess]

I’m still in the awkward talking in front of camera phase but seeing your growth gives me hope! Thanks for the video 😁

[@ErinReviews]

This video was so helpful!!!! I am holding myself back a lot because I see all these other youtubers who have amazing quality footage and crazy edits that I have no idea how to do (Have no idea how to anything other than text) and it's terrifying but I am determined to grow. I am a small channel on the road to 20 subs and my videos now are A LOT better than they were when I first started. After watching this I have no intentions of giving up. I love making videos and I try really hard to be consistent and I don't plan on stopping.

[@TinyHouseLife]

Honestly since i found your channel am loving it and definitely gaining more knowledge. Thanks!

[@lavieenblocs]

Great video! Starting my channel soon, thank you for the tips!

[@TiffanysBunnyGang]

Sylvain Cloutier I would love to check it out once you start! I have a video on starting & growing on youtube too. It’s about starting a pet channel but the tips are transferable to any topic if you would like to check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4vak52MiZhjrck. Good luck!

[@CathrinManning]

You're welcome! And best of luck with your channel :)

[@lavieenblocs]

@@TiffanysBunnyGang thanks Tiffany! I will keep you posted

[@timothydorriety7734]

Hey Cathrin, I came across one of your videos a few weeks ago. And I just thought I'd let you know that it has convinced me to create my own outdoor KZbin channel. I should have it up and running in a couple of weeks. Successful or not, I'll be doing things that I love, making memories with family and friends and sharing them with anyone who cares to watch. So thanks for all of the awesome info. And helping me make the decision to start down this path.

[@Rj-cd4rf]

Time to get started. Good luck to you all!

[@SusyMaldonado]

You have grown a lot. And it's true. My first videos are not that great but you have to start somewhere. I am shy and I am barly getting the hang of speaking with more confidence. Am slowly finding good angles to record my self. I learn new things when I record and think of KZbin.

[@CathrinManning]

That's so true. I've come to realize where I like the camera, what angle. And that only comes from practice!

[@Financial_Awareness]

Thank you for your tips! Very helpful. Planning videos & content calendar...yes!

[@EwaBrzeskaMortgagesFinance]

Love watching your older videos and seeing how you’ve grown! 💕

[@joshjohnson5839]

You went from 1,500 subs, to 66k subs in 6 months? That’s insane! Keep Killin it 🙌 These videos help me out a lot.

[@TheThornhillFamily]

My channel is my third child right now, I work 40 hours a week, I have a family but I'm so dedicated to youtube and making this work. I'm following all of your advice and I'm hoping to grow and develop my channel into something amazing, I am lacking a little bit of confidence though.

[@mayadarshokeir786]

I just started mine and published my very first video! Thank you so much for the advice cant wait to start this journey!

[@brandycampbell2334]

So glad I found your channel. Toying with the idea of starting a channel and I’m scared to death! Thanks for all the amazing info.

[@kylashay3027]

I just reach my 200 subscribers milestone because of you 😄 thank you

[@DaphneGsell]

I just started my channel! So excited for this journey 💕

[@lifeasabasicmillennial]

Just found your channel today - and I’m obsessed. I love your positive attitude and being straightforward with the struggle that can be KZbin. I’m all in with my channel - thanks for the motivation!

[@XieRC]

Thank you for all your videos! You honestly give me lots of help and lots of hope that I too will make it someday on KZbin. This gave me so much hope and I will defiantly keep fighting the good fight!

[@GabyRosie]

Cath, I've spent the last 3 days binge-watching your videos!! Thank you so so much for all the helpful tips & advice. You deserve all the blow-up/hype you're getting. Thank you for inspiring me and giving me the tools to start growing as a (very ) small KZbinr. Currently at 83 subs and so excited to hit 100 to make a custom URL! Much love from the Florida girl in New Zealand xx

[@PattisLupusJourney]

I am definitely going to start practicing more and vlogging things I dont intend to upload so I have that freedom to get used to camera. I prefer to be on the other side and very much an introvert. But I have a mission and a passion to spread awareness about chronic illness and share every day life as well. Thank you for great advice!

[@CathrinManning]

You're welcome! Practice makes perfect! So just shoot as much as you can to get used to it :)

[@nelsonbeandre]

I love your videos ! you definitely deserve to hit 1 Million subscribers ! Keep up the great work ! You are doing really fine !

[@schannelclariesa5860]

Wow in 1 year you grew 200k+ subscribers! Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your insight Cathrin 🌻

[@DanTheVeterinarian]

Your videos are awesome! I just started my channel pet health as a veterinarian. No joke...just starting is scary, but super exciting.

[@nohea_robertson]

I love all of these tips! I just started my channel to vlog my writing journey. One of the things I need to work on is saying 'um' a lot lol. I look forward to gaining more knowledge from your channel! :)

[@MyGymnasticsLife]

🥰 You are amazing!!!! My channel is doing so much better since I started to do everything you mention in your videos. I started to change my thumbnails with canva just yesterday and 1. Is so much fun! 2. I already saw an increase in views. I know my channel is not amazing but now I know so much more of what I was doing wrong and how to make it better. I cant THANK YOU enough!!!! I received my new camera today and I cant wait to begin filming better quality videos.

[@marbar333]

Your videos truly helped and inspired me to make my own channel after years of thinking about it!!! I appreciate you girl & just posted my first one :) wishing all you other newbies lots of luck & happiness!!!

[@lanny3068]

Thanks for the video! I’m new to KZbin but I’m just a kid. And school is important but I loveeee KZbin and editing is my favorite part. But when school starts I’m going to try my best to upload twice a week

[@CathrinManning]

Yes yes yes school is top priority but if you love KZbin too, save some time to make some videos :)

[@BattleBeautifully]

Girl, I had to search to find your video today. I'm finally ready to purchase better equipment for my youtube channel. I wanted you to get your funds because you really made this easy for me. (affiliate marketing) Thank you for your videos. Please do another video really breaking down SEO. Your score was 96/100 for the video. That's amazing. I'm struggling in that area. God bless you!

[@InstitutoBiblicoColombia]

Thank you so much for the tips and the encouragement. My husband and I just started a channel less than a month ago and we are working on applying your suggestions. I loved the one about the Thumbnails from one of your past videos. We have put that into practice and many more of your great tips!!! Thanks!

[@rebeccajones6345]

I filmed a video on my phone last week. I've been hesitant to actually edit and post it bc of the low quality. This encouraged me to go ahead and work on it! I've gotta start somewhere. Thank you!

[@mylittlefigurine]

Truly obsessed with your channel! Thank you !!!!💯💛👌

[@natachaguyot]

I just discovered your channel, and loved all the advice in this video! Lots of useful tips as I'm planning my channel! Thanks!

[@KamilaYtb]

I started my own youtube channel last week and I started to watch your videos since I want to do it great :) Just wanted to tell you that I love what you do ! Your videos are really dynamic and interesting.

[@actualchrisreid]

Kamila, I see you already have over 100 subscribers. Good job on your fast growth.

[@KamilaYtb]

Stock Music by Chris Reid Thanks 😁

[@knight8821]

I love this chick she had helped me grow so much as a vloger and KZbinr.

[@juliefordreister]

I love your "tough love" comments. My channel... maybe I need to niche down, but I want it to be a fun, inclusive, entertaining and educational space. I am going to create a KZbin binder and content worksheet for myself so that I can take notes, but also record my ideas with some consistency. Right now I have little notes scribbled everywhere! (Who can relate?) Thank you for your posts and for giving us hope! keep them coming and I will totally recommend you as I meet more small KZbinrs!

[@CathrinManning]

Thank you so much!

[@unmissablemovies1058]

Very good this Cathrin. We've just got started and I think, as a new KZbinr, you kinda hope you just blow up... but that's obviously not the reality for most. Perseverance is key it seems. Your vulnerability in the process is great to watch and no wonder you're growing. :)

[@aniboston5799]

You are so helpful! Thank you for the encouragement.

[@margotwientjes3201]

I love watching your videos and because you taught me about the ads I am fully watching them for you! I really am going to make a channel. I am just still thinking about my content and nieche.

[@movielifter7712]

[@averykathryn2320]

I am AveryTube and I just want to say without your videos, I would not be able to do this.

[@itsjessewilson]

[@NailGirlShae]

Totally loved this! Thanks for all the tips! :)

[@Thegeekoffworld]

This channel rocks! 🤪 hope you get to 1M+ subs this year!

[@radhamaharlika5836]

Oh my gosh, you had 1500 subscribers back in August, and now you're over 60k! That's amazing!!

[@Veronique8376]

Im about to start my own youtube channel.. I dont have anything concrete yet but when I do I will definitely post it in the comments!

[@lucyluasmr2238]

Ur advices are so helpful ! Thank u so much ♥️

[@mollymason9182]

Wow, there is so much good advice here!!! Thank you for making this & being so honest about the process. I have a music/singing channel that I started uploading regularly to about 3 months ago. I JUST hit 100 subs, so I'm definitely in the beginning stages. At this point, the channel is a fun and challenging outlet for me, but it would be cool to see it go somewhere down the road.

[@CathrinManning]

Thank you! And congrats on your first 100 subscribers, that's awesome! Keep up the good work, make lots of great videos, and don't forget to have fun with it :)

[@ybaby4542]

We do family vlogs ! its been a struggle but your videos really help us out ! thank you so so much

Thanks for this really helpful in starting my channel!

[@jennifersclubhouse6516]

Thank you very much for the tutorial you did a good job explaining in detail and now i can adjust my camera :)

[@CathrinManning]

I'm glad you found it helpful :)

[@mrmtruckermax2]

This is great wisdom for KZbin. I've been with you sinse you were around 1500 subs. I just enjoy your ability to explain. I'm working on my channel and need to be more consistent. My channel is mostly about Photography and cinematography. But I also like to have fun and upload my fun stuff as a vlog. I absolutely love vlogging but it's a lot of work.

[@therobinsonsunleashed2483]

Looking at how far you've come and it's definitely inspiring!

[@nikicoffin9909]

Excellent tip: record yourself talking to your camera with no intention of uploading it, and do it often, just to get used to doing it. Thank you for that.

[@rockscybersecurity]

I've learned soo much from you over the past couple of months. Soo happy for your success, hopefully, my channel will get your level one day as well 😍

[@valsdalley1276]

okay thank you for this!! im a small youtuber so they really help me out :)

[@lorenaespiga]

Girl, you are on fire! So much great information! I am about to start my YT channel and you have given me the inspiration and information I needed!
