How to Start a YouTube Channel in 2021 | What you REALLY need to know when starting a channel

[@TheRealMaryAnn__]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I’ve been struggling but, I’m not giving up. I already started my channel but it’s staying consistent and knowing what to make videos about. To any small youtubers out there stay focused and don’t give up.

[@elenaismail1396]

[@Moments_115]

The struggle is real but the ones who stick it out with be successful... Supporting each other is key, I hope you all smash 2021 out the park! Thank you @Jessica Stansberry amazing video :)

[@insideoutbeauty3170]

im with you , just started yesterday and have 4 subscribers lol.... two of them family members.... one day at a time !

[@unmiss-com]

Just start it. Overthinking kills productivity. Nobody knows what works. Be consistent with filming your videos. The high results will come. I submit a lot of videos because I love to help and support my audience.

[@YestoHawaii]

23:04 Yaaaas! I love how you talk about being hyper consistent. I think that is by far the most difficult part of starting and maintaining a KZbin channel. It’s totally true. I’ve watched videos from creators and when I browse their channel, if I see the videos are uploaded kind of at random...I’m less likely to subscribe. But, if I see clearly from their channel art, “new videos every TUESDAY” (or Wed, Th, etc.), plus that there is quite a bit of content, I’m more likely to subscribe. Thanks for this sis! 🙏🏼

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

That's interesting to hear. I have been incredibly random but working on being more consistent.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you for this. I was one of "them" that jumped onto the KZbin bandwagon during 2020 and really wanted to start a channel after hmm'ing and uhh'ing about it for months. Yep, It takes a lot of effort (and it's scary as an introvert for sure!) but boy is it fun. Is it too late? Am I too old? Is the niche too big? blahblahblah. NO, just do it . I watched you A LOT as I was starting my channel and your personality really did keep me watching. Thanks ! xx

[@jessicastansberry]

Yay, I’m sooooo glad to hear that you got started!!!!

[@luisterrust]

Mistake #1: making videos people need and NOT what they want. Make sure to make videos people WANT and fill it with what they NEED! ❤️🌟

[@jessicastansberry]

Absolutely

[@simple_naildesigns]

Very true 🙌🏽

[@eadconnections]

Typo in you’re comment. Don’t post about mistakes with a mistake in your post.

[@BeyondSustainableLiving]

@@eadconnections E D, you had a typo in your criticism about typos. "They're" is a contraction of "they are". You mean to say "your". :-)

[@MinniChoudharyVlogs]

Yes I agreed 👌🌺

[@1.5Koreans0.5American]

I started a KZbin channel in 2020 and it's the best thing I've ever done! Congratulation with you getting 100k soon!! I just subbed :)

[@KrisAndLarry]

Thanks for some more great pointers! My family has a family vlog. We love the fact that we do this together as a family!

[@jessicastansberry]

Oh my gosh, yes! We do vlog videos off and on and it’s always so fun to do as a family

[@SMoore2Love]

Fun way to document memories!

[@adventurepantsmcgee]

Fingers crossed that 2021 is rainbows and peaches. 🌈🍑 I love this saying - "EMBRACE YOU". Great video, yet again - thanks!

[@RikkiSaLess]

I’m just getting started again, I’m so unsure about everything! But one thing I do know is that my personality shines through 🥰

[@IntrovertAmateur]

Congrats to almost 100k 🥳 2 weeks ago I finally got the courage to start a channel with English as a foreign language. Still have to get used to speaking to the camera 😅 - that personality is really hard Thanks a lot for your tips 🙏🤗

[@skinsguy34]

I love the fact that there is someone else with a good southern accent who's making it in KZbin! I hear myself on camera and it's a hoot! And yes, I'm from North Carolina as well!:)

[@jessicastansberry]

Oh fun!! And yeeeesssssssss - we gotta stick together!

2020 was hard. But a lot of good came from it. At least in my life.

I’m starting a KZbin channel really soon on another account and came across your video looking for some of the best ways to keep a channel growing ♥️great video!!!

[@sydneyrepasky736]

I just started putting effort into my channel a few weeks ago and I'm currently learning how to edit! Thanks for the tips :)

[@TiffanisOnlineCollection]

This is the realist how to start KZbin and what to expect. More people need to see this.

[@romoplans]

Thank you for this! I just started my channel in August and your videos have helped so much!

[@SMoore2Love]

Totally agree! I just revamped our channel this month to see if I can get it going better

[@simple_naildesigns]

As a small KZbinr it’s hard to stay motivated when the numbers are low - Thank you so much for all your tips! 💖🙏🏽

[@Ivanne_neethling]

same here but we should all just keep going and do what we love

[@simple_naildesigns]

I don’t have Facebook but would really love to join the ‘party’ later this month. Would I need a Facebook account to join? Thank you in advance!

[@mycutecatvidz9610]

Same here. I can't even get many 👍🏼 on my videos. Keep pushing 💪

[@amandarachael]

Thank you!! I have been wanting to get my channel going and have been so scared to start!

[@HelensLife_]

Iove how raw you are about the highs and lows of KZbin! I started last year to give focus and creativity and it's the best thing ever , I get so excited to post 😊 Would love to grow!

[@KristaMollion]

I really appreciate your advice, Jessica! When I first discovered your videos in late 2018, I was amazed. It seems unattainable to achieve your level. I started in 2019 and it proved true: IT WAS SO HARD! But I'm trying. Thanks for motivating others!

[@ilonaleclerclifeinusa]

I just started a new one and hopefully I’ll be able to work on both at the same time 😁

“If you ain’t consistent, you ain’t legitimate!”. Best quote ever!! Something I’m definitely working on right now!

Congrats on 100k I love all your tips I’ve been doing KZbin for several months and I will definitely say being yourself is the best way to grow!

[@rachdupree]

I LOVE that oyou talked about showing up as yourself. I agree we think we have to come across super professional but I love that you are always laughing and joking through all the teaching!!!

[@voguelyn4060]

My channel is only 4 months old and i have a variety of videos even though everyone keeps saying to have one certain niche but i find that kind of hard to have just one niche lol. Its growing slowly but its okay because i love what i do and im not a big hurry. Your hair looks GREAT btw! 💇‍♀️

Congrats on 100k wow - me hoping to have 1k by next month haha. Good advises Jessica....the technical and tactical knowledge can be learned but the ongoing positive creator attitude, hard work and discipline hustling and running a channel. This is THOUGH your so right! I love your natural appearance. Many others show us only their fake persona on social media. You are real! Jeremy :)

[@CouponingWithEmma]

I love Kelly Stamps too 🙌🏽❤️

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

When I first started my channel, I was skeptical of how difficult it was to continuously push out content Every. Single. Week. I had sleepless nights, the money I spent on filming equipment seemed like a waste, and I overall had no motivation to grow this channel... but I kept focused. Not only did I listen to the feedback, I learnt from my mistakes, focused on a niche and, most importantly, stayed consistent. Now... my channel is thriving more than I ever expected. If I can do it, you can too! ☺️

[@simple_naildesigns]

That’s amazing! 🙌🏽

[@JenFarrer]

I thought your sweatshirt was nice & I was going to ask where you got it, about that time you hopped up & said it was from Walmart 😂 definitely gonna go find me one! Serious question though, how long should someone stay in a niche before they decide they aren’t gonna make it in that niche & try something else? I’ve been on KZbin since 2017, I was doing knitting videos & that never took off for me, now I’m doing service dog videos & that isn’t taking off either. I LOVE making videos but I guess I pick niches that not many people watch 😳😬 I even got the 30 days course to try to help & im still not growing. So, long post to ask, how long before someone should try another niche? I love your videos! Thank you for sharing so much!!!!

[@SMoore2Love]

I just started vlogmas! Thank you for the advice!

[@ZitaM]

Kelly Stamps is the best!!! 😂 It's so hard to be yourself though when you grew up as a perfectionist. I'm currently unlearning that to find out who is underneath. ❤

Hi, I'm Charlie from Manila, PH. I started my KZbin Channel in August 2020. If you don't know yet what niche or target audience you want to serve, I suggest do topics or a subject that you like to do and go for it, so you can start uploading videos in KZbin. BTW, almost every KZbinr suck in their first video. So, don't worry, you'll improve yourself in the long or short run, depending how serious you are as a KZbin Creator. Thank you for sharing this video Jessica and congrats on your 100K and growing subscribers (me included).

Coffee does not taste like burnt tires. Tea tastes like soggy tree bark. :-) Actually, I drink both. I like that you don't use the cutesy KZbin mispronounced words, and odd words, that other KZbinrs use. I think I may have a misspelling, but you get what I mean; Imperfections: Thomas Heaton is just Thomas, imperfections and all. And, he has a huge following.
