I've been watching "how to" KZbin content for years and this is THE MOST TACTICAL and PRESCRIPTIVE video I have ever seen!!! What great content, confident and yet humble, welcoming helpful presenter in Vanessa and perfect in length and subject matter covered. I cannot thank you enough!!! You instantly have more credibility with me than the thousands of other content creators I've watched. You are so incredibly helpful and generous with your knowledge. What a gift, so inspired right now!!

[@BestAudiovisualTricks]

I kept skipping this video on my feed because of the title ‘How to Start a KZbin Channel’. But I watched it because I watched all the latest Think Media content and didn’t know what else to watch. I am glad I did, this is premium content and has little to do with starting a KZbin channel. However, this video has tons of valuable content even for ‘veteran’ KZbinrs such as myself. Thank you Think Media!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@tonyafurbee304]

OH MY GOODNESS!!! every word you said... you are right on the mark! I started my journey 2 years ago, got out of the art field, then had to re vamp my brain to this new day in age art! I've always been very critical on myself and my work! I think all true artist are! But this Valley of Death I have one but mine I call My Rollercoaster of emotions! thinking I would sell right after I opened my shop on my website, all the nights crying, the highs the lows... now I need to do videos and I am so camera shy! but I have to get past this to be able to be successful and to make sure I don't fail! I researched for over a year, after I listed my products, I got so impatient and annoyed I took down all my products after only 3 months! This is all a learning process, and so much more than I ever anticipated! I will totally be following you, your amazing and I have felt all this your saying! Thank you so much for your time and help!

[@CliqzHD]

I would advice all creators to never give up and to do this is just by enjoying the process of creating, learning and accepting where you at. Also apply all the tips these growth channels provide, if it fails keep looking what’s wrong, what you can do better. And always enjoy the process. And one day all your hard work will pay

[@journeywithjaneel]

Am enjoying making the videos and editing too

[@AnnaChristina80]

[@rinusworldzm]

2023 is going to be my year to be consistent. That's the goal. If growth comes, it comes but I just want to get consistent at creating content and posting regularly, on schedule. Side note, Vanessa is so beautiful. And shes engaging

[@YouTubeTeacherRemote]

What's your schedule like when posting?

[@rinusworldzm]

@@KZbinTeacherRemote I want to start at once a week. I haven't posted in a year and this is me getting back into it and pushing to be consistent. I want to start with posting Mondays or Tuesdays evening... or atleast schedule them that way because i want to record multiple videos at once. Then post KZbin Shorts, Instagram and TickTock versions or atleast schedule them everyday till the next main upload.

[@YouTubeTeacherRemote]

@@rinusworldzm I hear ya. Its the hardest to decide if you choose a niche or a concept. The getting started part seems to be toughest. Took me many many years to take the plunge. Best of luck 😊

[@rinusworldzm]

@@KZbinTeacherRemote I appreciate it. Made the channel in 2019, uploaded random-ish content and ran out of steam for it. Realized it wasn't something I was passionate about. Went back to thinking about what I wanted my voice to be about... finally got it last year, made one video and got stuck in making a plan for it. I have the plan and the equipment I wanted, and now I have no excuse but to just start.

i have listened to her and i feel encouraged i declare that my channel will grow .For those who we are trying to venture to this KZbin family lets not give up..love love love you

[@jarredmacquoid7688]

Being a KZbinr is very similar to running a business. You should upload thing people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. When the growth is real, you should consider hiring people with different skills (editors, script writers...) and continue to maintain a channel image that your viewers have in mind when they see your video. The most difficult part is starting. If I hadn't discovered Famester (which really helped my channel kick off), I'm not sure I would write this comment today.

[@pachot88]

What is Famester I also would want to be a KZbinr, thank you!

[@ryder4313]

I disagree over the years it has become a Business sorta but the YOU in KZbin always stand for you so basically do what makes you Happy or is fun for you and ultimately people will follow sad how KZbin now at days is all about making money

[@jarredmacquoid7688]

@@ryder4313 Good point. Thanks for the comment!

[@victoryho-sangtv]

@@ryder4313 I understand what you're saying and it should DEFINITELY be about what makes "you" happy,however people like me would like to earn doing what they love so it makes sense to approach and handle it like a business in order to continue doing it with contentment not having to always be stressing over money.

[@AnnaChristina80]

Thank you bro

[@QueenArmie]

She's perfect! At the end she says make this your year! The information we learn at this vlog is useless unless we take good action.

[@RealOverClocked]

It's never been easier to start a channel and never been harder to grow one. I totally feel this but I pray and hope that all smaller channel makes it big in 2023. We just can't stop the grind 👊

[@TheColonFamily.]

Amen! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS COMMENT 🙏🏻❤️

[@fishhuntadventure]

ya, well I am guilty of the 'never starting' aspect she mentioned. For ten years. I look at some channels I admired when I started creating for youtube, and I hate myself. Somehow I just should have put the time in- many of those channels ten years later have millions of views and many have a million subscribers or more, and some have even had contracts develop in traditional TV media and their net worth reflects those successes. One creator i am thinking of in my niche has developed cash wealth in the millions of dollars via her youtube content and product promotion contracts, with over half of that wealth derived from the mainstream media contracts in just one year. No get rich quick really available with youtube, but with over ten years of development and commitment it happened for her - so the advice in this video rings true.

Her best video by far which oddly enough is on a channel not her own. I watched tens of her videos, and it was all completely useless. I felt people watched her for different reasons (I won't get into, neither here nor there), but for helping people grow, I can't say she helped me gain one subscriber.
