The more I watch your videos, I see you was MADE for this. Keep up the good work. Them numbers steady climbing. I got a long way to go.

[@zulfphotography]

It's great how to cover these topics so simply yet comprehensively if that even makes sense.

[@Styles_and_sass]

I get so so so excited for new videos from you! Such a burst of motivation and encouragement! Us new KZbinrs need all we can get!!!

Hahahaa thank you!!

[@StrongwillGameTheory]

You don't need thumbnail or clickbait. Just putting your face is enough. You're too goodlooking, smart and with hardcore work ethics. I love your work. I first got attracted with your face now watching your videos because of ur brain. And I finally subscribed.

[@beautygirlsguide]

You have the best clear and understandable KZbin growth channel! And tips that ACTUALLY work!!! Thank you for these videos! You’ll be to 100k in no time 🥰🥰😍

[@SayLavi]

Great work on your channel. Keep it up. As a new KZbinr (4 months) I am constantly looking for ways to improve and you are great at giving instructions that aren't vague like "make better videos" or "Find better keywords" so it's nice to see that you get detailed!

[@Victoria_Leone]

I have to say it has been SO fun to watch your channel grow. I keep checking and seeing the number go up dramatically every time. I told my husband the other day about what I’ve been learning from your videos and then said “and her subscribers have like tripled since I saw her first video just a couple weeks ago!” I started watching the first weekend of Nov when I think you had around 5k? Could have been a bit more, but still, so awesome! :) keep it up!

[@HullerDorothy]

The last time I watched your video. i have FLAT 100 subscribers. I followed your advises and I now have 286 😭❤😭 I just want to say THANK YOU!!!! I will keep learning from you!!!

I watched a lot of your videos a lot. Very useful and practical information! Thank you!!

[@CathrinManning]

You're so welcome!

[@ImTingTing]

I know youtube look for the keyword in the title and description, but will they look for keyword in the thumbnail as well (since it's a photo)?

[@ImTingTing]

Beginning to end would be awesome! I would especially love to see how do you position your camera. Is your camera on the same level with your eye or nose or... I am still having a hard time for the position of the shooting...also do you use any lighting or just natural light? Thank you!!

[@savannahjackson2684]

[@AMAZINGHOODFACTS]

Keep up the great work! I’ve been on KZbin since 2005 I have watched KZbin go from not paying us to paying us. For years there was no real information on how to get started on KZbin. I took youtube serious in 2017 and here I am today like damn. I wish you were doing KZbin in 2017 cuz literally all your videos is what I’ve done or went through to get to where I am now. People take her serious because everything she posts is literally every thing you will experience. So shave off 3 yrs of struggle and learn this in a few months with her.

[@CathrinManning]

Awe thank you! I got started in 2017 too and it took me awhile to get to this point. That's why I want to share the things I learned to help others grow faster than I did!

[@courteney-louise]

I took inspiration from your titles in my latest video (MY FIRST YEAR ON KZbin | What I Learned In One Year on KZbin and How I’m Growing My Channel Now) and so far the video is doing pretty good compared to my usual videos! That video went up this morning before I saw this one so it was super helpful to get more info on why you structure your titles that way and how you know what to include! I’m definitely going to use these tips to improve my thumbnails too! Thank you🌟

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

Went through and changed my titles like you are talking about. Funny how when you do it that way the emphasis is actually on something more than what I started with. Same meaning, just able to do it a little better. Thanks for the info.

[@DarzRojas]

So so good. I knew to put keywords in the title but wow even better to start with something for the viewer and put another part more geared toward youtube that people don't necessarily need to read. Thanks again! 👍🏼

Almost 20k! Good work friend. QUESTION: do you advise leaving your own videos on a loop? So you can get those watch hours up?

[@CathrinManning]

NO! Don't do that for your own videos because KZbin can tell that it's just you watching them! If you want your subscribers to do that, then create playlists so they can watch one video after another. But don't just watch your own videos.

Excellent advice all around. I've started printing out storyboard templates in 16:9 format so I can draft out thumbnails super quick. Once I settle on a look, then I go digital. Btw, I didnt know about the 100 characters. Thanks for that! I'll totally utilize that.
