Phase 2 resonated. Personal connections/interactions are gold in a communication based environment. Excited to see where Phase 4 continues to lead. Cheers!

[@ryandarling-exploringunlea5827]

Very wel deserved, Taylor! 🎉🥳🎉 Congratulations and thank you for what you do! 🙏🙌💯

[@dubayiweli4680]

I'm a phase 3 turtle baby! Kinda silly... but it was fun to relive when I became a subscriber and to learn your thought process/ mindset at the time :))

[@dubayiweli4680]

Also, your eyes are gorgeous 😍

[@DwainDwight]

well done Taylor. keep up the momentum - think creatively, be honest, be yourself. there is no ceiling so aim high.

[@TaylorBell]

Thank you so much! Will do 😊

@@TaylorBell Hi Taylor Bell im new in your vlog. Im from Indonesia (poor country from South East Asian close to Australia). Have you ever go to Indonesia?

[@chitatmodno]

Hi! This is one of the most open and genuine videos about starting a journey on youtube. Thanks, Taylor!

[@ricecakejohnson]

Look at you Taylor, you little hustler!! Beautiful plaque! You worked hard for it, so now display it proudly.

[@wamyy5]

Taylor, just found your channel - thanks so much for how comprehensive and honest your advice is! I can tell you put a lot of effort and thought into this, and it def delivered personality and value ;) I totally relate to the struggle of feeling “braggy” to talk about how I got into a T10 school but realized that it’s more about helping others and using the special cards we’ve been dealt! And hey what a coincidence - I’m a management consultant too 🥰

[@zachscohan]

Taylor, this video is incredibly well done. Thank you for sharing, love the vulnerability and your process. Excited to watch your continued success!

[@Vanessaguillen_]

I never exit out of your videos feeling like i just lost minutes from my life. Thanks for all the value Taylor! So happy for your continued success!

[@iwanttoplaywithspringsteen9188]

The hand written letter , such a warm , personal, considered touch . In a world where we are all so busy we sometimes forget the lasting relevance of just taking time to project a little of ourselves and there’s probably no better way to do this . Get the impression she truly is a top tier gal …

[@TaylorBell]

Appreciate this so much, thank you 😊

[@IldaKoka]

Taylor Bell! I have been watching your videos for over 5 months now and you have inspired me to the core to start my own channel and I finally did it!!! From Corporate to Content Creator!! True Inspo

[@TaylorBell]

I'm SO happy to hear this (despite my late response). CONGRATS GIRL!!!

[@zuhaohua7602]

Love the genuine authenticity and positive energy in all of your videos. Hopefully in the future, there could be more videos about life tips such as corporate life tips/interview tips, answering more hard questions during Q&A, books you read. Joined during phase 3 but went back and watched a lot of phase 1 and phase 2 videos. I just recently graduated from Cornell University and moved to NYC. 🗽Big congrats on hitting 100K!!

[@zuhaohua7602]

@zuhao_hua

[@jeannine1991]

So much depth and insight to your process. Fascinating. Congratulations on hitting on 100k. 1 mil will be soon. Well deserved. 🎉 For future videos, I’m curious how you develop your long term personal and professional goals.

[@TaylorBell]

Thank you so much Jeannine 😊 awesome, I’ll definitely discuss that in the future. Thank you again!!!

[@akshatmittal1234]

Congrats! I'm going into my senior year of high school and I'm trying to apply to business schools like Wharton and others. I hope that once I'm in college, I'm as put together as you are. It seems like you have done a lot of planning and branching out within your life even at a young age. It's really interesting to see that it is possible to actually do what you love. A lot of people make it seem to be very negative, saying things like you're gonna be working a job you hate or they're gonna work you to the bone forever. But it seems if you have the right mindset you can actually do something you love. I have no aspirations for youtube, (don't mind my dumb kid videos), but I am excited to see what the future beholds me in terms of educational and professional areas.

[@matirijo]

Hey! Sometimes life cannot be planned. It’s good to have a goal in life and direction you want to go to, but sometimes you cannot predict where you’ll end up! The best universities won’t determine your future, just do your best and you’ll succeed. I didn’t study at an Ivy League and got my Bsc in. Econ and MSc in Finance and still made it to the biggest consultancy firm in the world! If you have any questions ever, feel free to reach out!

[@MrJesuslosa]

I subscribed with you because I am learning English by listening to you, and to get to know the city at the same time where you live, Congrats on hitting 100k.

[@OliverFoote]

The fact that you were able to continue the momentum after gaining a crap ton of subscribers very quickly, well done

[@matirijo]

That’s indeed crazy! I would have just flocked right there!

[@TaylorBell]

Thanks so much Oliver 😊

[@ishikajohari1508]

Taylor, I’m full on staning you at the moment. Make whatever, I’ll be there 👌

[@toshikaaggarwal8744]

Hey Taylor, first of all - Congratulations on 100K subscribers. I have just started content creation on Instagram but even then this video was kinda helpful (especially since I plan to create content for YT later on too). Finally, I like how your videos look effortless, fun, and conversational with some funny moments.

[@sarg5449]

Love your channel! I’d love to hear about things you’ve learned in your first corporate job, tips, tricks, anything related to being successful in the work place.

[@elishaannmusic]

This is the most helpful video EVER! As a small youtuber, this is one of the most motivational and informative video I've seen. Just subscribed. Thank you so much for making this!

[@johns9jst]

Well deserved! I always enjoy these videos Taylor. Your down to earth personality is inviting and you have a good harmonious balance when talking about your personal success with a humble delivery. I can't remember how exactly the algorithm stork dropped one of your videos onto my doorstep (probably the NYC vlog) but I initially kept watching because my tenant, who is also a good friend, went to Wharton and then went on to work in finance / consulting so I told her about your channel. I don't even think she got around to watching but ended up subscribing. I also lived in Philly for a while and I liked going to Continental too! I don't want to drag this out too long so I'll just say keep up the awesome work!

[@molecularbandit]

I found you through your apartment tour video! I love seeing how people in cities live since I live in the country. Your personality and intelligence got me hooked. I also love seeing fellow ladies succeed and wanted to follow your journey

[@fatchabrutehy7436]

Congrats Taylor!!!!!! Continued success in all you do! Also can’t help but notice how the plaque and the window frame are exactly the same shade.

[@matirijo]

That’s so satisfying

[@Pirrelli8]

Well, I’m a big fan of the show Million Dollar Listing New York. And I was impressed with how well you picked a living space on your budget with such incredible views. Because, it’s not very easy. It’s expensive, and you were resourceful enough to manage the situation so effectively. Plus, you’re attractive and witty. So, it added all up for some very good content. You’re a natural, you can sell mostly anything.........it’s all up to you. Congratulations on your new venture. I hope you exceed your expectations 100,000 times more!!! Subbed about a month ago. Blessings and prosperity Taylor,

[@ramoncaolboy]

Shoutout from the Philippines. I watched your vlog once and was hooked since then. Keep it up!

[@paulmarvik]

Very honest. Authentic content. As I am thinking of starting a KZbin channel myself, I have to say thank you, for all the valuable information you give away. I hope you will find the time and energy to continue!

[@rwansingh]

I love the AUTHENTICITY! And this makes you relatable.

[@TaylorBell]

Aw thank youuuu

[@SManSte]

Congratulations on 100k subs, Taylor! I remember when i watched your Apartment Tour video you had i think around 70-80k , and i immediately saw the potential this girl had. Keep it up, there is no ceiling for you right now. Cheers from Macedonia!

[@Jen-wg9me]

Congrats!!! My favourite videos of yours are the ones about personal finance, it's always super helpful to hear professional women my age discuss this topic. But I love all the content you post. I'm in NYC as well!!

[@Kiri727]

Love to see more about navigating life in NYC. Budgeting there, exploring, challenges, meeting like minded people, dating, lessons learned etc. It’s such a unique city that many find fascinating.

[@Oscar-ku2eh]

CONGRATS ON 100k!!! 🥳 So cool to see your journey to this point. I was one of the those early Graham Stephan subscribers and remember wondering what direction you would take your channel in the beginning. Glad I never unsubscribed and excited for the future growth of this channel. Best of luck!

[@viksanbg88]

For me personally I found you with the apartment tour video, the reason I subscribe is because the view from the apartment and the desk by the window. I just really like that kind of setup.

[@ellieinspace]

Great tips!!! Thanks for taking the time to make this.

[@TaylorBell]

Thank you!! Of coursee

[@angeloschulz1999]

I liked the adding value phase. With every video comes something you can apply to your own life.

[@buywithleo]

I just started uploading videos to my KZbin page about a month ago. The quality isn't so good. I think it's because Iike any task I am new and learning, I'm starting to get comfortable with doing it and I'm now learning how to edit my own videos and I know my video content will improve over time. The one thing that I commend you on is I didn't understand how hard it is to take that first step until I actually did that first step. Putting yourself out there is a huge thing to do. It's getting out of your comfort zone and learning something new. A lot of people don't understand that in life we learn many things when we fail because we adapt and keep going and learn more and more. Thank you for this video It is helping me learn how to improve myself.

[@jpielago]

I think you're underselling just how good your videos are. I can really see the thinking behind how the videos are made, specifically how you really lean on your strengths and add specific quirks on delivery/editing/shots. I also run a couple of channels, and watching your videos is very educational (not just what you say, but how you're doing the videos). It's pretty much why I subscribed.

[@TaylorBell]

This makes me soooo happy to hear, thank you so very much

[@Unrealisednostalgia]

Your content really inspired me to try consulting! Super excited to see where it will take me. Congratulations on the huge milestone!

[@masudbcl]

Congrats on your 100k. Huge things to learn from your journey. Happy youtubing.

[@JenLauren]

I love that you showed each phase. It makes me reflect on my journey and notice the phases of my own. This is the most relatable KZbin journey video I’ve seen! I relate so much to being strategic with your channel while also leading with passion

I think KZbin is deleting our ig handles!

[@hnnhml]

already watched this a while ago but just found it again and again i got so much value out of this. turtle thank youuu

[@Entername-md1ev]

Taylor it’s been awesome to see your channel growth. I subscribed at around 30-40k (I think lol) because I was looking for management consulting advice online and KZbin brought me to your channel. Even though you’re no longer in the industry your advice was great and your personality helped me stick around.

[@Jewellene]

Hi Taylor! This is the first video I have ever seen of yours. I'm a brand new KZbinr, 2 months in (of having an actual audience), with just under 600 subs, and I am super motivated to making my channel grow!! This is the best video I have seen so far for new KZbinrs, so thank you for putting so much value into it!! I would love to see more videos just like this. I live in Missouri, but no Instagram. Keep up the great work!!

[@chloesmith2149]

Came cause I’m weirdly obsessed with NY apartment tours despite living in Australia but stayed because of your personality :)

[@ariadnasc9847]

Congratssss Tay ! I'm always waiting for that day of the week in which you upload a video, literally brighten my day ❤

[@Han.ban11]

I started watching you when you were on the podcast and then forgot to subscribe. Glad I stumbled upon you again ! Subscribed and will watch every video :)

[@TaylorBell]

Thank you Shanna!!!

[@meiagal]

Congratulations!! I just want to say…binge watching your videos helped me get motivated, get moving and do more productive work. That’s a big “influence” so thank you, really!! ♥️

[@millennialeconomics9145]

Found your video from Grahams channel. I've enjoyed following your growth and enjoy your finance videos. Keep it up!

[@ericzedd]

Congrats on the 100k! If there's any regret here is that is not discovering this channel any earlier to belong to the OG squad. This channel is really refreshing because you seem to be having fun most of the time. I get that there most likely stressful things in the consulting role and big city person life, but you don't seem to have ranted about it so far, and always took up the difficulty change as a challenge (apartment hunting, some client/project consulting examples, etc, etc). That. Is. Refreshing. I mean, you can also see this with your video thesis "always provide value", because you always have something to learn. And if you have something to learn, you always have something to share. I love that there's a healthy balance of privacy and sharing in on your videos because the things you share are also things that almost anyone, anywhere, with access to internet, can also learn. They're not just exclusively about you. I also love the rhythmic themes on the videos you post. They seem to cycle through work/money, lifestyle vlogs, travel. Make it seem relatable and multi-faceted. It's not your just your typical KZbin channel that talks about one thing and that thing only. Also, the semi-deadpan humour/personality adds a touch of quirk to the videos that just makes them so Taylor Bell. Here's to 250k to Turty squad 🥳

[@TaylorBell]

Ahhh I so appreciate your thoughtful comment Eric!! Thank you soooo much so this 😊

[@ryandarling-exploringunlea5827]

#Agreed! 💯 I just #subscribed 4 weeks ago while in a course for starting my #CreativeJourney! Surprisingly, I realize now I DID recognize Taylor as, I used to follow Graham's videos and Podcast with his brother and remember watching both her Tinder date interview and then even better, her follow up interview that included her significant other! 😂 It was #golden! So cool how things come back around #FullCircle sometimes; especially now that I am #SharingMyWork as well and trying to continue to #BeMyself as well as Taylor does in her content! 🙌 I will continue to; 👀 to #learn and #GrowMyContext and #KnowledgeBase. 🙏

[@someirishdude7822]

My favorite part of this and other videos of yours is the little outtake at the end! I think why I come back to your videos is because of the fact that you could be a really stuffy snob (talking about finance and living in New York) but you're very relatable. Also the fact that you even consider teaching viewers something --👌I do get a little drooly listening to the finance stuff but I'm a sucker for a sunset/sunrise and! Those freaking dogs! So cute 🥰

[@superarnaud1457854]

I love the channel because of your funny personality and how you are on camera. It feels like it's the real you 🍻 🥂. And because not every video is about personal finance or finance in general because the videos I like the most are the travel one's, the vlogs and the personal finances not in any particular order. and congrats on the 100 k subscribers🔥🔥🔥🥂🥂

[@IgKnight]

One of the subscribers that found you through Graham! Love to see how you've grown and developed! Here's to all of your success, now and to come!

[@javirojeda]

What a fantastic ride, as always it's a mixture of good decisions, high perfectionism, consistency and a tiny bit of luck that only arrives after the rest is in place. Happy to have been here for almost a year, and happy to see what you bring forward next!!! My favourite phase is clearly 3 since I've been a consultant for 15 years and it's the one that drew me in 😋

[@abdallahfirass6674]

Congrats Taylor.the Next 500k .God willing

[@rebekkaroe]

I love your authenticity and positivity :) Thanks for taking us along on your KZbin journey! I get the tip with sharing videos on Facebook/instagram, but I'm not there yet, haha - too cringy. Out of your videos, I love the personal finance videos (even though I know you don't want them to be your main focus) and just the day in the life etc. Keep up your momentum!

[@yshanayleoincabo]

Hey from Mexico! This video was so helpful! I really enjoyed hearing about your growth…Thank you so much for all of your tips ☺️

[@michellecd4722]

Here's how you get to 100K subscribers...1. Be a gorgeously photogenic kick-ass young woman, 2. Be as intelligent, educated, humorous, chill & super fun as you are stunning to look at which is appealing to all genders 3. Have a great audio voice as well (ok, well beyond triple threat territory here now) 4. Be SO genuine, humble, respectful, integrity filled AND endearing so that we all wish you were our friend, 5. Have a fabulous variety of content that stretches & grows along with said content creator & ALWAYS in an entertaining way and finally, FINALLY 6. Be willing to take risks, follow your heart while using your intuition & brain and then, maybe, just maybe you could almost model your YT channel after Taylor Bell's :) Lol, but seriously, super congrats!! I told you the first video I watch of yours long ago that you are going to be something BIG! Not, overweight big, but you know what I mean, lol. And even greater things are to come Taylor!! :) Superstar right here!!! :)

Just putting this into the universe. I would definitely subscribe to a Taylor Bell podcast, if one were to come along in the future. Congratulations on 100K. Can’t wait to see the 1 Million subscriber video.

[@jimkroustalakis2268]

Honestly, Taylor it seems to me like you have the perfect character but also skills to be a KZbinr( you’re welcome 😇). You’re funny and talkative but also hard working and focused. Your videos are all so natural and enjoyable and I also love your editing style( I m scared just thinking about the time that takes🥲). I think you have a long way to go and grow your channel and platform even more. Congratulations for 100k subs!! 🎉can’t wait for more content (post more🙃no pressure)

[@jimkroustalakis2268]

I think your business/consulting background is really helpful because you know how to work methodically, understand stats and set goals that you focus on?Correct if I m wrong but I honestly think it’s pretty visible in your channels’ growth.

[@YOUinConsulting]

Yes, Taylor comes across as very easy-going, but you can tell she is very focused and goal-driven. Not least from her prestigious school & job, too. And yes consulting background helps to get organized and get things done.

[@TaylorBell]

Thank you so very much Jim!!! This means a lot to me. And hahaha the business background definitely plays a part there, you're right 😊 thank you again

[@martinjordan4627]

Love this video Taylor. Had the pleasure of visiting your city a few years ago and will definitely be back. Video is very professional, sound is great.

[@neelandrohit6490]

Taylor! Love the video, and can relate to the position your channel was in during Phase 2 (right after gaining many new subscribers "inorganically"). My channel had something eerily similar happen! I made a viral LinkedIn post and it funneled ~5K sub to us over night. And I'm still on that journey to figure out how to best add value and retain + grow that audience! But as usual, great video. At first glance, I would've assumed I actually wouldn't have enjoyed your content too too much. Mainly because I already know about consulting and am normally not the one to watch vlog-type stuff. However, I think you strike a unique balance of valuable information, down-to-earth-ness, humor, and vloggy-ness that makes your content quite engaging! Plus, your editing is very impressive. I've tried taking many notes on it myself to adapt to my own videos. Here are some things I'd think about if I were you: ---To continue: including your humor, using editing as a way to introduce your personality and liveliness, adding tidbits of your personal life (b-roll with friends, shots from home in LA and NYC) ---New stuff to think about: talking about more existential topics (what motivates you, how have you grown since college, etc.), content around how you actually learned to make and edit YT videos, how you (will) manage work and YT Best of luck going forward! Hope this helps @neelisreddy

[@TaylorBell]

Ahhh I'm late to responding here, but thank you soooo much for your comment! I appreciate it and this is super helpful 😊

[@crystleobeng4296]

[@Villatoro23]

Congratulations on your 100K!! 🎉 I'm sadly not in the US, but even before getting to the giveaway part I was thinking of leaving you a comment with the reason why I got hooked to the channel, it's funny because we work in different things, I'm a software developer and I kinda hate it so I don't usually feel like working, but for some reason, when I started watching your Consulting videos, it left me with that hustle mood and put me in the right mindset to get things done, so I used to watch your videos whenever I wasn't feeling like working and that helped me a lot! now that your channel has a different perspective it is always fun to keep up, and I still watch every single video, it's cool to see your progress in life, I'd love to see videos about your new corporate job but you keep doing what you're doing, it's paying off and we enjoy it! Thanks for everything Turtle and keep it up!

For channel advice, have you ever thought about becoming a travel blogger? I’ve been watching guys like Drew Binsky, Bald and Bankrupt, Indigo Traveller, etc who go to places that not many people think of going to.

100k!!!!!!!!!!!!! So very well deserved! It is pleasing to see genuinely nice people finish in front now and again. For me Taylor your personal 'presence' and style is the clincher - just entertaining and informative no matter what the subject matter. And yes, I climbed on board during the early 'thrifting' days which was soooo not me lol! but wouldn't change a thing now about your journey. "I guess the tip there is to quit your job" was very funny and finally I think your thumbnail captures your pleasure and amazement in equal measure. Well done you!!!

congrats Taylor! great and valuable insight in this video! I still remember seeing that comment on Graham's video and I'm so happy to see how far you've come! one point I found helpful - just like you said make content/talk about what you're interested/passionate about, GaryVee had a framework that was interesting which was you don't have to be an expert as long as you're an enthusiast. Re-framing yourself in this way will help you find your direction and display that authenticity w/o even thinking about it that people are attracted to. another point I found helpful is new creators should triple down on KZbin shorts in the early stages of starting a KZbin channel - this mechanism arguably works better than TikTok because you're building a community directly on KZbin and don't have to worry about conversion rates from platforms like TikTok. KZbin is where the most opportunities are long-term and their shorts algorithm works on par if not better than TikTok because it has the great search engine implemented in it by KZbin, supported by Google - so once you find your niche/find the content that works, it'll help blow up your channel before you build your core audience and then you may shift to making whatever content you please. The easiest way to start off doing this is via a podcast-style format where you create ~1 - 3/day - this is also the easiest way to display your authenticity bc you'll likely talk about stuff you're passionate about and target some audience who's interested in the same things. 18:45 would love to hear more about KZbin growth insights 19:25 this is interesting bc you tend to think about what goes viral and ppl. tend to say - optimize the quality of your content and that's like 70% of the formula, but you really don't know 26:08 Ironically, I love the authenticity in your videos because of how your personality comes through and it's a great way to get into a flow state with whatever you're doing. I love the sort of listicle format content mixed in with the longer form videos and I think if you keep making those, it'll help grow your channel to the 300k - 500k milestone. I think what can be an interesting thing for you to explore content-wise are alternative pathways to different careers. For example, what would be some non-traditional ways to land in various consulting jobs just by networking, an online certificate, straight out of highschool, etc. Another related video concept that may work well on the algorithm is "Why Consulting Is For You" and "Why Consulting Is Not For" - or some variation of these titles like "Why You Should/Should Not Pursue Consulting." To the degree you're allowed to disclose related information, a different video concept but something that I think may go well with your style/you may find interesting to explore is - "What my consulting project on xyz has taught me about xyz (the world, climate change, people, money, the future, opportunities, etc.)"

Taylor! Grats on 100k. Honestly, I stumbled upon your content when I was logged out of my KZbin account. KZbin threw up some suggested videos on the home page and I clicked on your nyc apartment tour video. I'm not sure if I would have seen your content otherwise but grateful I clicked! I think I keep watching because I'm from the NYC area and I enjoy the city! Also, you seem authentic in your presentation and I find the lifestyle you choose to lead pretty awesome! I liked the videos on consulting because I can see myself going into consulting for software development process and automation in the future (if writing software gets boring down the line). I don't really have any constructive criticisms yet. I didn't come looking for your channel for anything specific so I have no expectations and just sort of enjoy the variety and get a little something from every video you post. They inspire me in different ways and that's pretty cool. However, I think it be cool to get your take on how you study/learn new things optimally, cool and fun things to do around the city and the personal finance things given the crummy financial climate... but mostly, keep doing you! @matt.perrelli 🗽
