EXPOSING my Social Media Growth Formula for 2023

[@samheedy]

Main points mentioned in this video about KZbin: 1. The home page is more important than search results. It is all about human connection, rather than optimizing for a search engine. 2. Record ideas, so you always have them noted. 3. Have a strict calendar, where you write your plan for at least the week.

[@AnjuliMack]

Thank you ☺

[@ShauninParadise]

I wish someone would do this for my videos, because I still don't know what the hell they're all about :)

[@naikajean356]

Katie! I am so proud of your growth, I remember when you started this channel and your social media growth journey and to see you here on KZbin with 183K subscribers is so encouraging and motivating to see that consistency and sticking to your end goal will get you results. You are truly a great success story for all of us who are so afraid to start or procrastinating to start. Sending you much much love.

[@katie]

thank you so much!! that is so sweet 🥹

[@blackandgoldNI]

Well Done!!!

[@einarkuningas2196]

I've been using Famester for my social media and it works with all the platforms that Katie mentioned in the video

[@vanillapapers]

I'll definitely be letting go of Instagram and TikTok, and spending more time on KZbin in the coming year. You've been such an inspiration as I've launched my channel!

[@Zoe-ib4pb]

The way you lay everything out and explain it is super helpful! I’m planning to embark on my own growth journey this year and getting a peek into your plan, along with hearing your thoughts, is giving me so many ideas to get me started. Thanks so much for sharing and giving the gift of a springboard to newbies like me!

[@saronamarketing]

This probably wasn't the point of the video, but for some reason, this sparked my excitement for content creation again. The strategy is realistic, SUPER authentic to you and made me feel like I can keep doing what I do. I've been burning myself out with clients and I'm super excited to start posting for my own business and set healthier expectations with my clients ❤

[@daebabyg]

same here

[@lauraabell]

Thanks for sharing! I'm especially inspired by your emphasis on creating consistent content and setting achievable goals. I've also had success using Boost App Social to optimize my Instagram content and grow my audience. Their AI writing tools and profile enhancement features are a game-changer. Good luck with your growth this year! 💪

[@parkernatalie]

Boost app's a hidden gem. Been using it for my stories and hashtags. Life's easier, and my IG's on fire!

[@rogersharper]

Really? Putting boost app social on my to-do list now!

[@tracecasey]

As someone who started their channel in august - I feel my channel started really well then dived (daily uploads vs weekly) so really excited to get a fresh start and create wholesome vlogs ❤ happy new year to All!

All your platforms have performed really well so far in 2023! It's so crazy hearing you talk about not caring if you reach 40k on instagram and now your at 78k! Love to see your strategy work! Keep up the great content, also Jesus loves you❤

[@mossgatherer_]

That calculating a range of goals is so helpful and practical!

[@kyleeandsteven]

This is exactly what I was looking for today. So much inspo - thank you, Katie!!

[@adoriasia]

This is my first time seeing your videos and I appreciate you sharing your goals. They have inspired me to actually sit down and organize the goals that i have and where i want to focus my energy. That way im no longer scatterbrained about it :)

[@xiggygames]

You are amazingly inspirational. I pray that you hit every goal you set in your lifetime. Thank you for the amazing video 😄

[@forevergwladys]

What you say about TikTok is true! It doesn't always or often have to be trend-related. Congrats on the growth. And you're on your way to 200K here YAY! So proud of you. You deserveeee!

[@CarolineJanewayy]

Such a well done video! Very inspiring! Hope you post more updates on your goals along the year (check-ins kinda) ❤

This is so encouraging and I was also thinking about implementing this similar strategy in my social media platforms before I stumbled upon your KZbin video today 😊. Rooting for you in 2023 🙌🏽.

[@MadamMaxine5]

Kate, this video is everything! I started my channel last summer and am still struggling to develop any real strategy because I am an overthinker and overplanner. This is the guidance I needed to help me in the new year. Thanks so much for sharing and happy holidays!

Fab video.. i'm just starting out and this video has some fab info in it, thank you!

[@ourcarnivorelife3334]

I need to get better at my thumbnails and story telling. My channel is so, so small. I put so much energy and effort into my videos, and I love creating videos. It's just discouraging being so small I feel like my videos don't get pushed out there very much. I've been trying to make shorts ( but I'm awful at them. 🤣🤣), and working harder on my angles and video making. Your tips are always so, so helpful!!! Thank you!!!

[@SriLankaTravelatease]

Thank you so much for sharing this❤❤ You are such an inspirasjon - and this video gives me a lot of motivation for my own strategy for 2023🎉 Thank you!

[@Penfriendrocks]

This is so helpful, thank you Katie! Question: how are you managing to find time for your agency work as well as all this? I ask because I'm a musician running my own label and mail order business, plus a subscription club - those things have to come first for me, then after that it's KZbin (1 video per week) and TikTok (3 videos per week). I'm trying to keep things ticking over without everything spreading into important rest time and leading to burnout (2021 and 2022 were bad for that!). Agree on Instagram not being a time intensive priority, I've been putting my TikTok's up as Reels as well though and have been surprised that they've got a lot of views! It's definitely ok to have some social media that's just for fun :)

[@krisssc]

I just started my youtube channel! And this video is really hitting the spot in what to do in 2023 :)

[@nayacerola]

Thank you for this, i want to get back at my blog and KZbin, and this helps me a lot to have an idea how to organize my time, as a freelancer i don’t have a specific period of time i work makes it complicated for me, but with this video a get a better idea. Happy new year🎉

[@TessBarclay]

Found you through TikTok & so happy I did! 💕👏🏼

[@teenagers_beauty]

Katie thank you for creating amaizing quality videos about social media, the tips are really helpful

[@KatherineYoung]

I would keep the TikTok content short enough so you can use it cross platform on to KZbin for sure. Make the content pull double duty.

[@DogsEyeViewTraining]

This is so what I needed to see right now!!! I've been feeling the social media burnout for a while and decided to take February and maybe even March off to regroup and regain my sparkle. 🤣 I've had a similar idea in mind for my content strategy going forward so this was fabulous validation. 🙃 Looking forward to seeing you smash your goals this year!!

[@zeinabhashem2750]

Good luck Katie! Happy new year 🎈

[@chatswithmaz977]

Love this Katie! So helpful, I've been loving your content and gonna implement this across my socials in 2023 :)

[@nikkionherway]

I find the same is true about what you talked about with TikTok! Trending sounds and crap are so not worth the time! Information is what people really want especially once they make it to your page, they are looking for info not more trendy videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@nikkionherway]

also I am struggling with the difference between Insta Reels and TikToks too! I primarily make Tiktoks and thats they style I like, but Instagram doesn't perform well with those, so I can't repurpose content as much as I would like. I don't want to create separate content for both tiktok and insta but maybe I need to :/

[@Yetti.]

This is so helpful, thanks for being transparent

[@FullyLovingYourself]

I just shouted you out on tiktok because I love your sit down videos & how they have a Vlog type style. I love your personality and transparency. Cheers to 2023 being the biggest year yet!

[@karrinebeasley]

Thanks for sharing your strategy. I love getting an insight into other KZbinrs goals and processes. I've only just posted my first KZbin videos this week so looking for all the tips and advice I can get right now 😁

[@ectomorphe_]

This is so inspiring, I also want to plan my content for 2023 to be more organised because I feel like I haven’t done enough just because I didn’t have a proper schedule so thank you so much for all the infos !

[@Welovehorrormovies]

4:20 yass! 💯 5:26 also, your scripting template has helped me immensely! I just started my channel about 7 weeks ago and now 75 subscribers and am seeing an increase in views, click through rate, and watch time

[@yanaslight]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! You have explained clearly what seems to be very overwhelming!

[@sycamoreandsalt]

I feel like my channel doesn't grow because A: I need to work on my storytelling/thumbnails/titles and B: I don't market the videos because I got rid of all my social media (except yt)... Once you delete social media, it's easy to never go back.. been clean almost 3 years

[@heyyitsjoshie]

Wow that's amazing! I was off Instagram for 2 weeks and it got easier towards the end but then I missed it. I can't imagine being off for 3 years?!

[@sycamoreandsalt]

@@heyyitsjoshie FB makes the process of terminating your socials EXTREMELY hard to do. I would suggest saving all the contacts/friends/photos to a drive, THEN DO IT... By saving everything, you won't fell like it's a complete loss. Trust me, after a couple weeks, you don't care about what your 'friends' are doing. As a creative, I believe having an email list of supporters is most beneficial.

[@alexisstaroneal]

I grew my first 3k subscribers without promoting on ANY other social media platform - I say this to say, if being on Instagram or other platforms isn’t something you want to do, you don’t need to! Just focus on your KZbin channel (storytelling like you mentioned).

[@sycamoreandsalt]

@@alexisstaroneal thank you and keep up the hard work!

[@MartinKPettersson]

Just minimising social media is such an upswing on energy, good for you that you went all in :)

[@studiokayley]

Didn’t realize you had a tiktok! Def gonna go follow! I think my focus is IG, YT and TT for fun 🤔

[@SilverPawStudio]

Thanks so much. I love the idea of having fun on IG. Also need to dig in and finish your course in 2023!

[@ericalreeves]

Katie, what do you think about content creator planners? Like from the App Store? Have you tried a physical planner?

[@Lidia_i_Siwy]

Very nice ideas, only you didn't mention one. Do you use paid ads on your KZbin channel? Do you get all this "for free"? Please answer :)

[@ArtWithAllie]

I love all of the information in this video! I’m excited to start working out what my content will look like! What do you recommend for someone new that is going through the exploratory/experimental phase? In regards to planning and sharing content?

Would love to see the breakdown on strategy for Creatorly too!

[@DasiaSade]

Heya! Do you have tips on converting your KZbin videos to TikTok/Instagram? Not the full videos but as a way to drive traffic back to your channel?

[@AlyssaReids]

I really enjoyed this chattier style video. It allowed us to see a more in-depth view of what your strategy is going to be. Thanks. I found it helpful.

[@sandiestiles2015]

Hi Katie, First i want to say I love your videos. As I prepare to start a YT channel I've been binge watching yours. I like your style, presentation, relevant information, and you don't overmarket yourself. For example, I know where the Like & Subscribe buttons are, I don't need to be told every few frames, like one video I just dumped - sadly, it was good info too but I won't go back to it. My suggestion - limt the hand gestures. My research indicates there are some benefits to them but I find it VERY distracting. Once you become aware of it you can't unsee it. Although I have ADD, I also think it detracts from your message. Also, stop messing with your hair. More than once in a video is too much. You are extremely well-spoken and present a comfortableness that is inviting, engaging and inspires trust and confidence. Focus on that! I hope some day to be in a position to receive constructive feedback. You are quite inspiring! With warm affection! Sandie

[@itsjesshart]

Loved this! So helpful. We got it! 👏🏽✨

[@23FOEVA]

[@TheCourtneyProject]

How did you know this is exactly the video I needed! Thank youuuu!

[@MicahRaburn]

When you talked about instagram reels being all about aesthetics it made me realize that for my brand instagram wouldn’t be a good fit. Think I’ll focus on KZbin shorts instead.

[@innermusemystic]

I JUST said the same thing for my brand, the other day! This is confirmation to focus on shorts instead!

[@SuccessNothingLessco]

Awesome content video - Thanks Katie! Exactly what I need to hear to grow The Success Nothing Less Show and Podcast. Definitely have to focus more on engagement especially on TikTok along with KZbin. Instagram algorithms are now more geared towards paid ads so it made me shift my strategy as well! Plus it boosted my energy and creative juices to get some of my results completed in 2023 that has been sitting on my to-do list. Look forward to more of your content :) #SuccessNothingLess

[@Cristinashubin]

Thanks for another great video. What about using the TikTok videos and posting them on instagram automatically? It will still help to have the videos on both platforms, and the Reels time is now 90 seconds long. I have been experimenting with doing the short style of video and posting it across all 3 platforms, but doing 60 seconds videos is difficult as you said. Thank you for creating this video.

[@MartinKPettersson]

This video was so helpful! I lived as a Buddhist monk for several years and am trying to make that into something I can life of of. Problem is getting a clear strategy. Usefull tips in a clear and concice format, thank you for this :)

[@anthonygoodmans]

Which social media is best for business and marketing?

[@megwd4130]

Do you edit your tiktok/shorts videos on a separate editor or use the apps? If you use the apps do you have a specific way to remove watermarks becuse I know youtube doesn't like repurposing tiktok videos? :) love your videos btw

I what to ask you a weird question. On my channel that I have that has the name Peter The Aussie Rainbow Lorikeet (for argument sake) and I had a non-relevant video(s) that I want to post. Would it damage this existing channel by posting? A Cooking, Travel or point-of-view video or anything content. Perhaps scrapping the channel and renaming it with a no specific name and posting all different videos?
