I feel like social media turns people into numbers when it comes to things like this. I remember when I was a 300 subscribers not feeling like that was a lot, but imagine 300 people looking at me. Now I’m at 1000, of course I want to keep on building but it’s just so surreal.

My sister gave me a youtbe account with 4k subs but i didn't really feel welcomed with that account. Been scared to start a new channel so i asked God to help me make a decision, so i started my channel yesterday and i feel happy now i know tgat any sub i get is mine. And im grateful for this video it really motivated me so much.

being a youtuber is not as easy as it looks. That is why I appreciate good female content creators such as yourself alyssa even as a guy. I also must say I love how you engage with the subscribers in the comments section. a lot of youtubers just pick and choose the comments that they will respond to but I noticed that you literally will show love to everyone in the comments section which is awesome keep it up alyssa❤

I love this. I watched your video you made a while ago about how to get monetised on youtube when I was literally at like 17 subscribers 🤣 and now, 3 years later, I’m at 1.3K subs, monetised and lovingggg it. I have a LOT of growth to do, but the beautiful thing about this journey is that I enjoyed it before I was monetised, and I still enjoy it now. I would love to keep growing, but I’m having fun regardless. It’s my outlet and it’s enjoyable. Hopefully, 2025 will be the year of more growth and flourishing!! Sending love to you & all the small creators out there 💗

This video really helped me out a lot as I head into the new year with goals I want to achieve! 🎉 One of my main goals is to start my KZbin channel. I’ve been kind of stuck since graduating in June 2024. 🎓 I wanted to jump into creating content, but I got too comfortable just hanging out in my room. 😅 I’ve realized I’ve been holding myself back from posting videos due to fear, and as a result, I haven’t made much progress. 😔 I totally relate to what you said about views on your channel because I face the same challenge with my TikTok videos. 📹 But I'm hopeful for Christmas because I’m hoping to get a camera! 🎁 That way, I can create videos and edit them on my phone for now. 2025 is definitely going to be my year! 💪🏾I'm ready to push myself and make things happen. Thanks so much for this video, Alyssa! It was exactly what I needed to hear from someone who understands the content creator journey.

I've been watching you for about 2 or 3 years now and I never commented before, but I wanted add on to what you said at 12:00 because THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO UNDERTSTAND‼I also post content (not on this account) and I fell victim of comparing myself to other peoples views and feeling low about myself because my views dropped significantly. I do believe that God allowed those things to happen because you shouldn't find confidence or self worth in numbers. Like you said 1k view is a LOT. I think so many of use fail to understand that because of how we see so many people go viral and gain many followers so quickly. I like to remember theses 2 quotes "The higher you climb the harder you fall." and "Slow and steady wins the race." If y'all want something consistent and stable when it come to your channel, favor gaining consistent views or subs over a long period of time rather than going viral a couple videos and never seeing the light of day again. Your views are NOT who you are they are just numbers and those numbers are people. Your journey will happen the way it's supposed to happen. I wish the best to all you out there and God loves you
