How I ACTUALLY plan my YouTube videos (to grow my channel!)

[@AnjaRamaroson]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. And to every small/new creators: WE CAN DO IT! :)

[@momatude1611]

Yes we can she gets me excited to film

[@AnjaRamaroson]

@@momatude1611 Same!!

[@AntheaReads]

Let's gooo!

[@chachanderi]

we can do this. So happy for everyone who got the courage to start👏

[@SupernovaJazz]

Just grabbed your template!!!! I’ve grown by 600 subs in the last week and excited to use this template to help me scale even more ❤

[@ChristinaWilliamson-cowgirl]

Thank You Katie! I barley started my YT and I've been so stuck. I'm going to sit down today and follow your steps. You're such a huge help. Thanks again, hope you feel better soon. 🥰

[@jeriheggie]

Since I’m still a small channel I don’t get many comments or questions so I get ideas from my fellow creators comment section. I can ask myself if I can make a video like what the audience is asking for. And I add it to my video idea database. 💛

[@ChristianCareerJoy]

Yes would love to see stuff about home studio ideas for creators! (To be honest, I didn't even notice the boxes!). Thanks for all the practical tips and tricks in this video. I appreciate the examples and thought process shares!

[@johannacoreas3968]

I 100% prefer your softer, more natural aesthetic than the graphics heavy (and let's face it, very masculine) look of most of the other KZbin education channels. Definitely fits my vibe more.

[@StarlineHodge]

Just a note, if you are a small creator and don't have enough views, YT won't have enough data to show "channels your audience watches" and "when your viewers are on KZbin" (I just checked mine and it says, "Not enough eligible data to show this report")

[@geistreichkalligrafie]

same with me 😅 We'll have to wait a little longer, don't we? 😆

[@StarlineHodge]

@@geistreichkalligrafie yup yup yup lol

[@johannacoreas3968]

I also went to check that when I saw this video. I kept asking myself, “How did I miss that?” Because I’m always all up in my analytics, but turns out I missed it cuz there’s nothing there 😅😭 lol

[@MrsGee2014]

​@@geistreichkalligrafie Yep same. Gotta keep at it.

Your videos have helped me so much! Ok so I’ve watched a lot of them now and I always admire your plants. I’m a digital creator plant person too with a fiddle leaf fig, pothos and other tropical house plants 🌱

[@DainLuka]

Katie you are such an inspiration! You deserve all the growth and more 🎉🎉 I’ve been slowly growing my KZbin channel over the years and videos like this keep me motivated ❤

[@thisoldjapanesehouse]

Hope you feel better soon, Katie. Thank you for another amazing video.

[@davidthescottishvegan]

This is the video I needed with awesome tips and suggestions to help plan our KZbin videos from the beautiful Katie. Video ideas are definitely the hardest part of video creation. Love 🥰 the video and love 💗 Katie.

[@katie]

so glad you liked it, David!

[@nikiwestergren]

love the new video style sooo much!! and would LOVE to see the office space setup 🤠 hope you get better soon Katie!

[@katie]

yay thank you!!

[@ChantelleArts]

I've been planning more and thinking about the title/thumbnail before filming because of your tips! it's made the rest of the process a lot smoother 🥰 whilst you were on studio I did think, I can't recall if you've already made a video, but it would be super helpful if you could show us how to get the most out of youtube studio, since I always find it so confusing to navigate ❤

[@shelivesconsciously]

Get well soon Katie. Thank you so much for your knowledge. Very very precise ❤

[@MoreWindy1]

Thank you! 🙏

[@blessedpursuitofmotherhood]

Thank you so much Katie! You provide wonderful tips and you get straight to the point which I think is awesome.😊

[@tarasdiary]

i always get excited seeing a new video from you!! love your comfy minimalist style

[@nomfundo_v]

I’ve really been enjoying your videos. I love the way you share information. Glad to have found you ❤

[@coryandmarissa]

This was so helpful! And the way you explained eveything was fantastic! Thank you 🫶🏼

[@tracigeiser4906]

Yes please show us your creator space revamp!

[@AnneJutras]

You always have great content Katie! 💙Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Take care.

[@sommiescorner]

Thank you so much, Katie This video was truly helpful

[@EasyBlush]

Thanks for this video and all the others 🫶🏼 love your Channel. A big thank you from a french youtuber 😉

[@SciArt.Jovanna]

This was super helpful! Thank you!

[@JiwonHan]

So many good resources I need to start using! Thank you so much!!

[@clairegasamagera3777]

I love you Katie❤❤❤ i have a folder named Katie Steckly i just save your videos so when i am doing my house chores i can listen to your videos. You made a great difference in my life as a creator. I admire you so so much. I am in metro Detroit [ few miles from Canada] just the Detroit river in between. I am confident i will meet you in person one day. Till then i am your big fan. You provide value all the time.

[@minazara_couture]

Thank you Katie, as always so much valuable info!

[@thecashstuffingcanuck]

Great video! Thanks Katie :) I've definitely noticed an improvement in my videos since following your advice. I try to focus on one area at a time.

[@AngelikiCreates]

Thanks, Katie - I've come back several times to pull info from this great video. Love the tool recommendations! I'm launching my YT channel and a large coloring book business right now, and I'm vibing with your vids and suggestions! I'm a big Notion girl -- I use that to manage my whole biz.

[@the.yellow.princess]

I love that you mentioned not being a copycat! 💛

[@PhDandProductivity]

yes!! I needed this so bad. I've finally had one video do well in the home page (for me like that's couple thousand views in the first few days bc most of my vids are viewed in search) and I know it's cos I made a loosely good outline. But I NEED to learnt to do that consistently.

[@MorningCoffee_with_Jesus]

This is a REALLY great super helpful video thank you

[@Nata21Mila18]

Yes, please, show us your office makeover! ❤

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks Katie - really useful

How to create content in bulk for youtube ( long form) ? What's your schedule?

[@Greedysmalls]

You have now gained a new subscriber solely due to this advice. We sincerely appreciate your support!

[@johnclay7644]

informative topic.

[@mrshabster]

Thanks Katie, but does this work on vlogs?

[@FrankPersico]

Another great video. I’m recently monetized (may9th) and you have helped get me there!

[@sillyarmsasmr]

Great video Katie! Can't wait to implement Your suggestions in my new ASMR channel :) Good luck everyone!

[@felicitasosborn9146]

Thanks for sharing Katie❤❤

[@emmadanyale]

I really need to work on talking up my other videos! I get so wrapped up in the current one that I just forget!

[@scofieldfarm]

I tried the lead into the next video outro on my latest video for the first time. I am hoping that it is helpful to my channel! By the way, I love your past tip about how to organize the videos by date and time with a shortcut - that has been so helpful to me!

[@SoniaB]

Thanks for the great info. I'm wanting to introduce different content onto my channel, and I recognise that I should be strategic on it. If I want to give myself a good chance of success - I think I need to implement your ideas onto my next video!

[@veganlunchmom]

I always look forward to your videos 😄

[@veganlunchmom]

So my audience doesn’t even watch a lot of videos and my views come from non subscribers so I don’t have enough database to see what channels they are watching. Is this odd?!

[@kimberlycorrine]

I can get with the planning my content but honestly this is a lot wow.

[@mrsbebeeledger]

This is exactly what I need right now! I plan my content out pretty well BUT I just feel like I need that extra step to keep people engaged long enough to really decided to stick around and subscribe. I’m so close to monetization but I just can’t seem to fully get it

[@katie]

you've got this!! maybe it's time to switch it up a bit - try a slightly different format, or throw in even more b-roll or extra visuals. Sometimes all it takes is a little something to get more more inspired to make your videos 10% better 🙏🏻

[@mrsbebeeledger]

@@katie thank you!! ☺️

[@senorasarahCDMX]

very helpful!

[@SlumberandBloom]

I’ve had my channel for YEARS and I still don’t have any data in either channels or what my audience watches. Why would that be happening?!

[@user-nlvmruu]

can you address what to do about burnout? i dont have a team and im monetized and make maybe 2k a month from ad sense but i dont know how to make more as i am using this money to support myself cant hire an editor right now and i am just so burnt out.. i want to keep going to make more and make more of my ideas.. but just feel like i cant

[@nature.earth.wisdom.]

I get that a lot of KZbin is structured like a middle school 5 paragraph essay, but I'm looking for advice on authentic, flowing, storytelling. Someone's gotta be talking about this.

[@thenewchapter4956]

Hi Katie Im so glad i found your channel I have my youtube channel but for me is very dificult to talk in public and also show my face when Im filming especially my eyes :( I wish I can have your confidense. I just susbscribe to your channel thanks ❤❤❤❤

[@aditiohreally]

Home office video please!

[@beast-mode115]

I have about 1000 video ideas inside of my Microsoft OneNote. Able to break them down into short and long form content For TikTok and KZbin. The problem I’m having is being able to remember all my talking points without reading. Still coming across as my authentic self.🤯 but I have no shortage of content! Because I’ve learned to write down at least the first paragraph when it comes to me, which is generally in the wee hours of the morning! But I will always wake up and drop them down in my OneNote no matter what. Trust me people you will not remember it in the morning!! At least not the way God first gave it to you. 😫😭😡🤦🏽‍♂️

[@sergioin3D]

I’ve done “research” like that because I have seen people do 3D and their videos aren’t really good they’re just 3D videos of weapons… Like please set it up, and shoot a weapon in 3D

[@MarLindaPerez-s1i]

Question, do you go through your comments and answer them? How often? Do you make a point to engage or just like? I'd love to hear your view. Thanks🤔

[@Malekfahad420]

Hey Katie, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?

[@beast-mode115]

For instance, show me how you remembered everything you want to say in this particular video. Did you have your talking point, and then fill it in off the top of your head? Or did you read the first part, stop recording and then go to the next topic. And then just edit it and post? Never mind, you kind of just answered that question in the video with the bullet points.😆

[@divyv20]

Hey Katie , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?

[@EveryFurtherMile]

Scripting is hard, but the mental block when in front of the camera is harder. Editing...gah... the worst.

[@Its_MsGift]

Ohhhh yesss.. absolutely correct 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@michaelblake1624]

Please. $20 for a form?

Are you a Christian? You should become one...😅

[@nosiiyoutuber]

Thank you for this! so helpful🥹❤️

[@LaserLady]

Brilliant, as always! I'll be sure to see what my viewers are watching in the analytics. Unfortunately for now, that area just says "Not enough eligible audience data to show this report." I'll keep checking back as my watch time increases!

[@lia.soprano]

I purchased your media kit template and I’m unable to access it. I’ve sent an email, a dm, and an Instagram comment. Please answer me.

Do you accept a paper ring as proposal? 🥹 (Not like that ok, just a joke 💀)
