How I Started a Successful YouTube Channel (Full-Time in 1 Year)

[@LanaBlakely]

What's something that you've wanted to start/pursue but haven't yet? (don't forget to promote your channel below!)

[@pagesbynika7627]

i want to pursue relaunching my vintage business i had 2 years ago. I went travelling for 6 months and allowed procrastination and hesitation getting in the way. The past few months i've been planning and this quarantine has allowed me to prepare. Im ready ❤️ also guys feel free to follow my channel - Im always happy to support back ✨

[@fitfuelplanner]

Thanks so much for this video, I can tell you put so much thought into the advice. I myself have been wanting to make videos teaching coding online, but have been putting it off for a while even though I know it can give me the freedom I want. Anyway, thanks again and take are. :)

[@lawrencelord9777]

thank you for this video Lana

[@policeyoutube2369]

Run a youtube channel! i'm maybe sounds cliche like someone who always said "i don't have a gear", but i'm really save money for a camera, wish me luck ❣

[@PhillDrakeEntertainment]

I'm lacking of ideas currently but I like to make music cover videos and film production. I think for success we all need to be consistent like to make some schedule, that's the hardest move in the whole project of growing our channel, lots of time I would find myself working and then pausing at some point hmm

[@helinika]

I like that you speak softly - this is rare in KZbin, where everyone seems to be screaming

I love that you have made this video! I'm always intrigued how people grow their channels, especially relatively quickly (as in your case). I'm trying really hard with these most of these tips, I guess now I should always strive to improve the content in general, and be consistent (consistency is something I find extremely difficult when life gets busy). You're right, it is about priorities. P.s. I love the vibe of your channel!

Every new KZbinr that I talk with says that consistency is their main difficulty

To everyone out there starting a channel: let's connect and support each other!

Saw your channel, good luck with it!

[@highvibrationalliving2day]

YES! amen sister!! just keep going!! we are bigger than our fear and discomfort!

[@JessentialLife]

Love this! Limiting beliefs can be so powerful and they can stop us from living at our full potential if we allow them too! Love your encouraging message ♡ thanks!

[@JessentialLife]

@@TiffanyVi right on! Quarantine was just a great push for a lot of us. That is inspiring how you are pursuing KZbin!

[@GreatMusic467]

I’m literally watching you because I think you’re eye brows are amazing

[@adrianops7]

This was super helpful and I loved how naturally you speak on this video. I have been following you since those early days, and have been incredibly inspired by your work.

[@RainaTeachings]

Your voice is very calming and truthful feeling. I started my channel 4 years ago but only started taking it seriously about 3 months ago. The growth has picked up pace considerably. Thank you for this video. 🙏🏼

[@hriswitakalita5575]

"When is the timing perfect for anything ever." That's what blew my mind.

[@user-vr8mv8ho1q]

your voice is so relaxing!!

[@WhatJoeKnows]

I just came across your channel and this video touched my heart and soul. I started my channel during the pandemic and it hasn’t been easy but I appreciate the real advice. It’s nice to know you can still succeed on this platform. I’m striving to get better day by day. My channel focuses on finance and real estate.

[@BothFireAndIce]

For an aspiring content creator, this video comes in with lots of inspiration and positivity. Hearing her definitely calms the anxiety in me and makes me more eager to come up with a plan to move forward.

Finding it so hard to be consistent especially when I look at my numbers but I know that I need to be patient and that numbers aren’t everything🙏 thank you for this

[@AmandaHayes_16]

would you mind checking out my channel. I just started mine and hoping to grow ❤️

[@yourcellularuniverse3235]

@@AmandaHayes_16 same dear...I make informative videos... would you kindly check....i checked yours and subscribed

[@mindfulinvestor]

Having the persistence to continue uploading no matter if there are views/subs were the toughest part for me. I had spurts of 10 upload months but then the fire just dies off... Thanks for the tips Lana!

[@songeofmay7215]

I’ve always wanted to share my work, my thoughts and experiences so I’ve started KZbin. And I’m glade I’ve made this step because I have never felt this happy before. Your work inspired me to keep continuing even if my work doesn’t reach much people because I know my goal wich is to grow as an artist, to do better art and knowing it, helps me everyday to stay motivated. 🌱

[@DamiBlankestino]

Yay, keep going 😊😊

[@NobodysNormal]

Lana, your message was just what I needed today! I started my channel, Nobody's Normal in May, 2019 which focuses on mental health. You're "on-point" w/your message of "persistence, patience, consistency and luck!" Diving into your video, "I Dated for 10 Years:..." to find out what your generation is experiencing! Thanks again, Tom.

[@NorberisR]

I just really love your videos. I like your delivery, demeanor, and tone. Very inspiring. I'm Dominican so my channel is about Dominican Culture and Fashion. KZbin is definitely a lot of work, but it has been worth it for me thus far. Keep inspiring all of us. Many blessings.

[@Visaipalagai]

"Desk my cave" I definitely heard that myself. Great video, Lana. I'm Ranjeth, I've started my youtube channel 3 years ago. Visaipalagai is an education channel on science and technology. But I'm not consistent with uploads and my videos are specifically made for Tamil speaking audience.

[@Melureia]

Whoa, I love how you broke it down and explained it so well! I finally started my own music channel since the lockdown started

[@ilonaleclerclifeinusa]

I needed this video! I started mine last summer and very soon will have 1k! I am looking forward to hear your advices! ❤️

[@sandythesloth295]

Congratulations on hitting 1k subscribers! It's so motivating to see other starters like me reach such milestones. I do have a KZbin channel where i post mixes and songs of other upcoming artists (taking people up with me lol). Hope you check it out and let me know what people think about it!

[@rabbith0led]

Loved hearing your words on this Lana!! It’s been very inspiring seeing your channel grow so much, I remember watching your videos when your channel was a lot smaller. I also make KZbin videos & I try to keep in interesting, right this moment I’m working on improving the way I speak on camera I really wanna be more authentic! ❤️

[@LanaBlakely]

aw thank you. I still struggle sometimes with truly being myself in front of the camera. It's a journey!

[@rabbith0led]

@@LanaBlakely I know right! :)

[@Adventureswithbecky]

Loved when you talked about taking a test and how getting an F was still far better than not taking the test at all! If I don't try then I am already failing. Such a powerful statement and something that really resonated with me. Thank you!

[@leanneemily]

I honestly feel this! That’s why I state on my channel that “it’s never too late to start something you’re passionate about” because it is something I stand by. I started getting singing lessons last year in November when I was 25 years old, I’ve wanted them ever since I was 15 I but never knew where get them. I finally found a place last year and I’ve been getting weekly lessons ever since. I’ve wanted to start a KZbin channel for so long, but never had the fine but now I make time! For anyone who’s interested my YT will be about personal growth, my business ventures, my singing videos, make up videos and tips and tricks on how to stay motivated and obtain a steady, positive mindset. I was bullied a lot when I was younger, so I want to share with people how you can overcome it and love yourself again! 😌❤️

[@TheUltimateLifeTester]

Love that! I'll have to check out your channel!

[@leanneemily]

I remember seeing your comments all over KZbin on many of the same videos I watched. The fact that you seemed to be watching the same bunch of youtubers and videos I was at the time motivated me to check out your channel, and I'm glad I did. I just hit 500 subs, and have been enjoying every moment of the way. Great video!
