[@habsom1406]

Love the music played at the end, very soothing and heartfelt. Thanks for all the youtube information, never knew all that stuff. Hope you excel and prosper, best wishes.

Just wanted pull up a video and say how thankful I am to have found you! You aren't afraid to be honest about your music, your knowledge, and your experiences making it as a musician. Thank you, Helen! Please don't ever quit playing guitar and helping the musicians of today learn what you have for us to learn ❤ Love you, please keep it up and I'm sure it will only continue to pay off more! ☺

Thank you Helen for all your videos. You don’t need to ‘cover’ someone else’s music. Your music is amazing and stands on its own!

[@cheryldee9240]

YES!! I approve this message! 😍😍😍

[@cheryldee9240]

Yes Helen dear, do you hear that? We just want to hear you play even if it's just plucking strings with a nice tone. You could even hum along and we would love it!

[@HelenIbemusic]

Wow, thank you!

[@robertschulz6558]

Agree, she doesn't need it. But... Cover songs can give you a big amount of new audience. That's why she and so many other does it and it quite works. So she shouldn't stop even tough monetization is a problem.

Hi Helen, i have no word to tell you how i appreciate you

I wish you had been around when Mark Knopfler recorded the soundtrack to “Local Hero”. The collaboration would have been magical. Great sensitivity in your playing. Ti o dara julo lopo.

What a terrific and informative overview of significant information concerning KZbin. Comprehensive and well organized. Thank you very much Helen.

[@michaelburkley1225]

Hi Helen , This is Michael In Colorado and I personally want to thank you for doing the Video explaining how to get money from KZbin and also how Skillshare can help a person with business and technical training that can get them to the next level. I seriously should consider doing these classes myself. Thanks again 🙂

Hello Helen. Your videos are great and inspiring. I must acknowlegde that you are beautiful and very intelligent. I want to say that your dress sense betrays all the potential and creativity you have shown in your videos. Pls dress more modestly. Your skill set and wonderful output are enough incentive to attract viewers like me. Ibu ada igbo. You are highly dignified already my sister. Keep inspiring all the people who follow your music

[@VictoriaWhitlock]

Thank you! I make covers and once I get monetized, I’m not going to have high expectations for AdSense, but I think just having an audience alone is very valuable.

I know you said you were in a creative block, but if you could make videos of your own creative tunes, you'll be amazed at how many views you would get with no copyright issues!

[@HelenIbemusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stephendavis5530]

Nice detailed description of how KZbin works. I am a very small content creator at the moment and recently had up to eight of my videos taken down due to a copyright claim. One of them had been there for months. I have also put several of my own music recordings up on KZbin and one song. They received very little views though. I am keeping up the kind of content I have always done as that has the most views. Someday, I hope my channel is somewhere near as successful as yours.

[@HelenIbemusic]

So sorry about that😥 I wish you all the best dear

KZbin should consider sponsoring this as their "Introduction to hosting a Channel" required training video for new channel owners.
