I'm Erin and I'm a full-time entrepreneur. I have a digital marketing & video production company called Erin On Demand. I teach entrepreneurs how to stand out online through content marketing, digital strategy, and video production. I’ve worked with companies from National Geographic, to local mom & pop shops, helping them create compelling content that attracts their target audience. This channel, takes you through my journey of building my business from the ground up, while sharing information on how I market, strategize, and operate in my business… to hopefully help you build yours!

[@KimmieNoel]

It gets discouraging when I’m making quality content and get little support. Some people post with no edits, kids crying, drama..bam they get tons of support.

[@LifeWithLocc]

Looking back over my KZbin journey, I can definitely say that ALL of these things helped tremendously! I am still at a space of finding that "binge worthy" content that keeps the masses coming back. Loved this, Erin! 🫶🤍

[@mobilefreelancer3831]

love this girl humble and straight up simple advice no shortcuts just do the work!

[@ThisSouthernGirlCooks]

I agree!

[@ThisSouthernGirlCooks]

This was so helpful, Erin! Thank you so much! Everything you're saying is so true. My channel is finally growing. 2k+ currently and looking forward to what the future brings! Thank you again, sis!

Loved hearing your perspective on this! It’s so true that in the beginning we wanna spend way too much time and money on professional gear. 😅

[@ErinOnDemand]

Yes!! I'm like, just focus on the content! The camera/gear is the cherry on top.

[@CoachSherri]

I keep saying I’m going to stop saying comment, lime and subscribe because it is stating the obvious. It is definitely a habit but this is great info.

[@Celinelikedion]

Love how helpful and refreshing your videos are 💞💞 a lot of advice videos say to introduce myself more & tell people to subscribe etc. but I totally agree with you about focusing on building trust and community over time 🙂

[@ErinOnDemand]

Absolutely! There's so much KZbin and social media advice that you just have to find the person who you connect with most! The most important thing is trying out different methods and finding what works best for you! xo E

This was a great breakdown. I found this from following you from Instagram. :)

@@ErinOnDemand thanks🙌🏽

[@TheMillennialHousewife]

Loved this! So informational! 👏👏 I find that in my niche, getting people to click is the hardest part, like you said! I think it's because the titles and thumbnails all look the same (at least in the cleaning niche), which makes it hard to stand out!

[@HomeWorkouts_LS]

Yeah I feel like a lot of people’s thumbnails look the same since they find their style / template. But like she mentioned, bright colors & cursive fonts are harder to read.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Totally understand! Getting people to click is absolutely the most challenging part. Which is why it's worth spending a good amount of time on it and experimenting with different styles of thumbnails until you find the style that works best for you and your audience! xx E

[@AboutBritney]

My thumbnails usually suck when I don't think about them until after I start editing the video 🤦🏾‍♀️.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Many people have the same issue. I just showed my eBrand Creator College students how to create thumbnails just like this one. We also talked about what you should include in your thumbnails and KZbin banner. We ended with a thumbnail and banner audit. If you join, you'll be able to watch the replay.

[@whywecreate9764]

Amazing content!

[@aaileyahunique1398]

I feel like depending on what topic you're trying to persuade or convey on KZbin your video quality needs to be excellent. I started on my phone but my quality was not how I wanted to be so i quit until I could afford to invest in new equipment.

You totally have my attention!!!

Always Dropping gems, too fire! I think it would be worth it to drop a video about the new algorithm and how that affects new and current creators!

Erin! Thanks so much for these tips I’m going to try to implement these strategies and switch it up a little. Do you provide a YT analysis or recommendation in your course?

My most recent video about African Romance Scam & I took very emotional & dramatic photos for my thumbnail & IT WORKED!!!

[@lxim8151]

I love your videos and it took me forever to feel confident to put my first video out there. The problem is that I can't look it up. I can't even find my channel. I type the exact name of my video and nothing. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is not the channel I'm writing this from.

[@maisitag]

I created a 3 “avatars” of people who I want to target with my jewelry and fashion videos, but it’s hard to implement their fears or goals in those kind of videos. Any ideas? 💡

[@ErinOnDemand]

I would focus on 1 avatar for now. Focusing on 3 is too much. Add as your business grows but focus on the one that your product will have the most impact on.

[@Mo_Kabelo]

I’m learning a lot from you

[@ErinOnDemand]

I'm so glad to hear that, Mo!

[@30blackandnerdy]

Can you use the same template for Anime/Mental health (Mindset) channel?

[@ErinOnDemand]

Absolutely! But KZbin is all about trial and error. This is a great starting point!

[@writingbywinifred6677]

Did you get a new camera? Such a crisp image.

[@ErinOnDemand]

No - I'm filming with the Sony A3 (linked in the description)! I use this for a lot of my sit-down vids xo E

[@quella339]

Can you use AirPods when recording content?

[@creativelyseen]

Hi Erin, can you explain what you mean by having a sensational title?

[@ErinOnDemand]

I basically mean - make your titles interesting! I could've made the title "How to Make a Good KZbin Video" but I made it a little more sensational by saying "If you don't know if your KZbin videos are good...Watch This!" -- The title doesn't have to be bombarded with keywords. Hope this helps! xx

[@padmeasmr]

Am I weird that I hate thumbnails that feel fake and full of text? I just love to see like "a screenshot" and that's what I'm doing in my channel but I dunno maybe I should try something different.

[@ErinOnDemand]

That's not weird at all! I have tried doing natural thumbnails and they work for some videos but not for all. I would say - try with text and then compare your results! xo E

[@abeniayisat]

It's tough sometimes, I need to work on thumbnails😩

[@nailedbyemoridenimmo905]

So I have a question 🙋🏾‍♀️. What if you hit a 1K subscribers, but don’t hit the 4k watch hours until after a year of building. Will KZbin monetize you later? Or do it have to be in 1 year?

[@soniateach]

Once you have hit 1k subs, you just have to have 4k hours in the last 365 days. So if you hit the watch time requirements a year later you would still get monetized.

[@nailedbyemoridenimmo905]

@@soniateach So I’m saying. Say I hit the 1K subs within 365 days, but not the watch time hours in 365 days. I won’t get monetized? I’ll have to start over?

By trailer, do you mean a nugget from your KZbin video to repurpose to your IG or TT? If so, you should! I don't recommend long intro videos though.
