This video is the proof that you don't need to be loud and extra enthusiastic to keep someone engaged in a video! Well done, as a micro micro micro youtuber I appreciate these videos!

[@angelrosales901]

That’s true, the good information is enough to keep our attention

[@alineeeeee1]

I agree. I think many youtubers think they need to be as loud as they possible can to be entertaining and I just really hate when people are just screaming nonsense at their microphone to be “fun”

Me too I decided to make a channel ,lets connect guys maybe this will help me to entertain myself for not worrying myself of whats going on,

[@ThaMonkeySquad]

Interesting take on it! I feel like YT is getting better at promoting smaller channels out there. A tip I have is to have the mindset of feeding KZbin with videos that u wanna do, and eventually it will figure out who to send your video to. That also means you have to focus in a specific niche and specific style/keywords/type of videos. I randomly came across this video btw! Good content keep it up :D

[@sumitsinghstories]

That's very true! The more you can niche down, your audience will eventually find you. Just a matter of creating content that resonates with you consistenly.

I disagree with promoting small channels.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Agreed with the tip about commenting on other people's videos that are related to the topics you like to talk about. It's how I got my first viewers and subscribers back in the day. But like Lana said, don't spam, just add something of value to the conversation and people will notice you :)

Great inspiring video to those who want to start! First barrier is to start posting videos and not to worry too much about it even if it's not good, the only way to get better is to keep DOING and learn through those mistakes and fix them. Then it's just all about consistency and persistency.

[@evangeline_eve457]

😭😭😭I love the part where you say "even if it's not good"...I think that is my problem right now I'm so worried about if my channel will actually be successful because I don't actually have good camera quality or sound since I'm using my phone I've literally taken so many vids but kept deleting because they aren't good enough...but for the one im posting soon I've decided not to think too much about it and just go for it

[@Veronmories]

Thank you for making this useful video. I like the idea of practicing speaking in front of the mirror and eventually, I believe it will help me to speak in front of the camera easily eventually too. Appreciate this! ❤

[@katherinelouise]

A message to all those who feel like giving up because they’re too busy with school, work or other commitments - Seriously, don’t just quit and leave all your hard work behind, it’s ok if your upload schedule becomes inconsistent! Your viewers are humans too and will understand! You’ll thank yourself for not quitting when you blow up ;)

[@x-perimentalthoughts]

Thank you for posting this. I was going through a lot these past couple of weeks. First thing I thought was like “oh no I didn’t make a video or started to record” I came to conclusion to not be stressed about it because life hits us but like what you said it’s ok to be inconsistent.

[@sairathealchemist]

Does anyone else really struggle with finding a niche? I feel like I have so much to talk about, but I'm not an expert on any specific topic and I'm not the best at explaining anything. I'm just the girl that people go to for advice and to be replenished in my daily life when they feel down. Other than that I think KZbin is going really well. If you're trying to get pass the threshold to be monetized DON'T GIVE UP! It takes time and discipline and patience. Your loyal subscribers will eventually find you.

[@abdylixhesika2194]

Same problem girl 🙄

[@kierrahope]

Yes I literally cannot focus in on one niche and I’m not sure what to do about that

[@arvindbachoe]

Hi Saira, so basically your channel’s message is: “replenish daily life”. You can do tips, talks, discussions, life lessons and questionnaires so you can help your viewers. Broad enough for your interests and niche enough to capture the attention of people. Good luck! 🙏🏽

[@introspectivelyliving3315]

same! I have a general theme I want to portray in my videos, but its so hard and you constantly want to try *trendy* videos as well starting off too to try and gain attention from the algorithm, such a hard balance to find!

[@kierrahope]

Rapha Carpio really? I’ve lost 1k subs because I didn’t stick to my niche in the last 7 days

[@MadisonJarboe]

1. That top is so lovely 2. It’s so kind of you to, having achieved “success” (however it shall be defined), turn back around and help those trying to do the same thing. I just upload covers and music I write, so not exactly a “KZbinr” haha, but I love your thoughts and your videos and I’m sure so many people will appreciate this and find it helpful.

[@TiaraSummer]

I gained a majority of my subscribers from when I used to do story time videos but once I started to grow in the truth of who I am, my content changed as well.

[@YestoHawaii]

6:45 I agree with this 100%. Rather than focusing on having the “perfect” video, starting is the better option so you can learn. Decision paralysis is so tricky when you’re trying to think of an interesting video idea. I like how you compared this to cooking - just because you aren’t a perfect chef, it doesn’t mean that you can’t cook at all. Better to try & learn...than to not do anything at all! :)

[@blusandia]

Not enough people talk about motivation. It's hard to create a video you love, but it's even harder to see it go completely unnoticed. Getting through that "nobody is watching my videos" phase is tough.

[@ElinaY]

You are so right! Can totally relate. I feel I’m going through this phase right now and trying to push through it

[@arvindbachoe]

Jodie Dewberry yes true, but isn’t that with everything?! It’s part of the game right? If you would stay unnoticed at work (or as a business owner) you would have a hard time too. It all comes down to your intrinsic motivation to begin with. Setting your goal realistically and doing what you love. If you work hard/efficient to find your perfect mix and stay resilient you will eventually get success. Question: does motivation come easier with proper goal setting and action?

[@duydang5886]

This is so true! We just have to learn to try to make our videos better and better each time and trust the process!

[@VyalaBloom]

This video came at a great time. I started a channel a few years ago about DIY haircare and when I first started I wanted to help other women take care of their hair and really embrace their curls. But, I always found it difficult to be consistent because there's a lot of other topics that I want to talk about... I love talking about philosophy, life lessons, photography... and I just picked up hula hooping as a hobby this year and I want to share my journey with that as well... I have so many things that I want to share with the world but I feel like I have niched down so much that I'm scared to talk about these other topics because I don't want to confuse my audience... I know people always talk about niching down as much as possible to help your channel grow, but for me, I feel suffocated.

[@arvindbachoe]

Vyala B how about you incorporate your other topics in videos you already make about hair? Just expand the storytelling part. Keeps it interesting for yourself and you get to see if people enjoy hearing about that from you. Chances are they do and you will create a stronger bond. They get to know you on a personal level too and would probably appreciate you more. No more suffocation for you! 🙏🏽

Am I ever going to grow? Why are others making more progress than me? Listen...I journaled, took a week off..then got down to the root of it- I AM DOING THIS BECAUSE ITS MY OUTLET. It’s my therapy, it’s genuinely something I love to do, because I am the director! And that got me refocused. If I never blow up, I will be OK. Because the 13k+ views I’ve already gotten have shared my art/service authentically with someone/anyone. I’m ok with that.

This video came at the perfect time in my life! Been dabbling if I should do it and here we are. Great tips!

[@DrTeresa]

Always love your calmness and the presentation of an idea. Thank you for this video to inspire us. I make dental videos and I am still trying to figure out my direction. Really appreciate you sharing about your KZbin journey 💕

[@lady_layne]

Yes! Just started my channel a little over a month ago! I'm loving the process more than I thought I would.

ur so calm and collected, I've got a couple of things to learn!

[@SanjaySkar]

This is something I wanted to hear when started my channel. Thank you so much, Lana, for putting it together. I always appreciate your effort! I can totally relate to the story of how you started your channel; it felt right to put my passion for writing, art, filmmaking etc. into one place and show who I am.

[@peterjuff]

‘There is no secret formula’ I love this because I think we’re all looking for the quick fix, but, in truth, there’s not just one right way. And that may take a long time to find. 💥👍🏽

[@lotusbackground7220]

I am in college studying aerospace at the moment. Sometimes when I want to give up or had a bad time, I come to your channel. Every time I watch your video, I always got something to digest and think about. You are really someone I look up to and you are changing lives! I just want to let you know how your work is actually impacting someone out there.

[@jeymariearchives]

I started my yt this year. I told myself that at least there's something good to do and get motivated. I hope for the best.

[@FlyWithLarry]

Thank you so much for this, many new KZbinrs need direction and you’re providing that. 🤍

[@ZestandTheCity]

Your videos are so relaxing, Lana. And all the pieces of information and advice are so valuable for us starting KZbin. Thank you a lot ❤️

[@Trebushea]

Lovely video and so informative with all of your amazing tips! I love the quote about 10k being harder than the million. I have a motherhood/parenting channel that finally started to pickup this last year in 2020 and I finally hit 1500 after years because I didn't know/research on what I was doing or anything about the KZbin algorithm. Your tips are definitely helpful and I suggest anyone watching to use these simple yet very important tips you have shared today 💕 have a lovely day!

[@nubreed1980]

Great advice. Thank you. Your cadence of speech has got mellow energy, which I find enjoyable watching after work while cooking or doing things around the house. And I agree 100%, everything starts off with an idea with words being the best tool to expand the content. I need to get back journaling.

[@imogenmoore3530]

im really glad you mentioned about being tied to videos your initially post: I find it hard to accept what i create especially if its new and others havent done the same and this leads to me wanting to delete to feel safer, but then i try and force myself to accept and admire what ive done even if some people dont like it or whatever

[@ilonaleclerclifeinusa]

Thank you for sharing! I have two channels, one started last summer and new one started a week ago and I noticed that the second one is growing faster because i already know what to do. At first I was scared that maybe its too late to start now, but i understood again that its never too late =)

[@RavalKaur]

Hi Lana! Hope you are doing well! I really like what you said about first videos not needing to control the rest! However I don’t know if it applied to me. I successfully gained 135,000 subscribers mostly because of 1 video that blew up. However I am not in that niche anymore and I have changed my direction. I used to talk about makeup and DIY and now I like to talk about self development. Please reply and let me know what you think! x

[@arvindbachoe]

Hi Raval, what about a video for your subscribes explaining this message and let them decide if they stay or not. Do you get the same watch time? Because big sub numbers without the watch hours hurt the channel because the algorithm thinks your videos aren’t interesting anymore (so I’ve heard). You can also do a message in the community tab. Good luck!

[@kirstenmagdalena9310]

Not Lana, but I just wanted to say that your amazing group of followers obviously like your beauty content but also you as a person. In my experience with watching vloggers shifting their niche it makes the content even better as you truly sense the creator enjoys it. Good luck!

[@SashaThePanda]

Wow! Just checked out your videos. That’s honestly what I’m going through I’m making a lot of videos I feel like other people want to watch and less what I actually wanna talk about which is about self development. Good luck with your journey!! Will definitely watch :)

[@itszelhar6763]

[@LiamSeniorYT]

This is great! Some great tips which I think will help me grow my channel. Thanks so much!

[@Sha3shaboan]

That was so relaxing for me... I’ve been watching KZbin videos about how to start a channel for a while now and you video really took a lot of the fear I had... what I loved the most is the part talking about the drive and intention and I believe this where you need to start going into anything not just KZbin!!!

For everybody that wants a free editing program, google "davinci resolve". Good luck on your very first video if you intend to make videos!

[@blacklightaura6777]

Wow thank you!!!!!

[@nourishedmotherhood6381]

I use davinci resolve!! I can't believe it's free!! I think I need a better computer though because mine crashes sometimes... Any advice on a good, affordable computer that can handle davinci's power??

[@naijagems8656]

Nourished Nectarine is it better than iMovie?

[@nourishedmotherhood6381]

@@naijagems8656 I've actually never used iMovie. I don't have a MAC so I had to stick with what works on my PC. I wonder if iMovie is more "user friendly" and simple? I feel like Davinci Resolve is more for professional videographers, but there are plenty of great tutorials on KZbin so I was able to learn the basics. :)

[@JoshAmes1980]

@@naijagems8656 It's more like Final Cut Pro than iMovie. It's very powerful.

[@AbhidevVaishnav]

love your content keep up the good work, you've inspired me to start my own channel!! :)

[@kimmo_vuorinen]

Really helpful information, I try to keep this in mind when working on my channel.

[@jeanneoracion]

Yeah, if we always just hesitate on doing what is going unto our mind, nothing will happen. I'm happy I've listened to my heart decided one day last Oct2020 to start a youtube channel. Last night I finally got monetized and its so fulfilling. Happy to see some youtubers sharing their personal truthful experiences to help young channels like me..

[@kimmy_sander]

Lana, Thank you. I've been thinking about starting a channel for a while, and this is just what I needed.

[@SteAndRach]

Looking forward to see your channel start!! Lana inspired us to launch our KZbin channel a few months ago and it's been one of the scariest but most exciting decisions we have taken in a while!! Wishing you the best and looking forward to see what you create 💛

[@WadeWalker22]

To anyone that doesn’t have confidence in making it on KZbin u got my support and hopefully everyone here ❤️

[@BanshanMarwein]

Sure dude, check out my channel #banshanmarwein

[@KistiReads]

This was great! I love the advice about the first 10K was more difficult than the first 1M :) I felt that! I'm a booktube creator - so very niche, but hoping to expand very soon!

[@heptanonagon]

This is exactly what I need! I just tried uploading 'Study with me' videos this week with no background whatsoever in video editing. Thank you! :D

[@irenekxm1278]

Super excited to start posting more videos! Thank you for the inspiration:)

[@WeAreCreators]

Thanks, Lana, This is really helpful. I've been experiencing a bit of lack of motivation and putting out less and less videos while at the same time trying to make the ones I do get to create more interesting and watchable... It was awesome to hear that it takes time to get more and more authentic and more you on camera because I feel I'm pretty funny in life but on camera somehow it comes out robotic... Or maybe it's just my self judgment? Either way, really enjoyed your video. You have nice energy. :)

[@methodicallymaya]

I definitely agree that it can be very disheartening to be posting videos consistently and not getting views. I feel like I spend soooo much time on my content (with the planning, research, filming, and editing) but YT is just not promoting my videos. I post videos about psychological concepts as well as some school based or KZbin based videos but everything is very methodically done! I’ll just have to keep going and hope to get noticed!

[@jamdaybook]

This is so motivational, especially for those who are still trying to start their channels like me. Thank you for this, Lana! :)

[@rachaelchee3953]

wow yes! i totally agree with just being consistent and putting out whatever you have. I'm really trying to do that now but wow, coming up with content ideas is NOT easy haha

[@personaldevelopment6488]

Thanks for the transparency Lana hope we all succeed !
