you can tell how good a youtuber is if you feel like ur on facetime with ur bestie and every video of yours feels like we’re such close friends

[@annaspeaks373]

You said this so well. I just started my KZbin channel and hope one day I will get to that point❤️

[@thelifeofruth]

So true! I’ve been watching her videos for the last 3 years and she remains the same just super friendly.

[@JewelAdrianne]

SO TRUE!!! keeping this in mind for all my vids

[@kade_slays]

huh explain idk

[@aleciastxx]

@@annaspeaks373you made it

[@ellieandhannah]

its crazy how hard it actually is to have a youtube channel and post consistently as a teen in school. we've been trying really hard to make our videos aesthetic and not boring!! we've been trying not to care of what others think of us and we don't want to tell people because we are embarrassed and don't want people we know watching us! :)

[@mariewynne390]

I’ve just started a KZbin channel to I had a little look on your Channel going to start watching some of your videos but I will already say your thumbnails look very aesthetically pleasing !!❤️❤️

[@fathooptiebang2137]

The only advice I could impart is keep on keeping on, because you already have a decent subscriber and view count. Also your thumbnails/titles need a little work, but nothing major. Maybe use higher contrast photos with letterface that pops out at you; as they stand, they're just really... Light. Flat pastel. Pretty, but not super interesting if that makes sense. Otherwise you have a really fun channel 😊 way better than mine 😂

[@admiresesay2132]

So me

[@kirsirosesdiaries]

@ellieandhannah Hi I would love to do a video with you guys or something, I love your channel! 🌟

[@alyssamiller5258]

i totally get it. i want to start making videos but im hesitant i wont be consistent enoughhh also your vids look great and im confident you’ll gain lots more subscribers in time

[@alessandracafar2428]

Can we just appreciate how much effort she always puts in her videos and no matter what there always so peaceful to watch❤love and admire you

[@bettybrown29]

We do she is an inspiration 😍

[@Dee_vlogs14]

Girl you're really inspiring me cuz I'm going to come on KZbin channel and this is my brother's account so I want to start so I'll be able to make a tik Tok video you really inspiring me

[@karlbodmer4368]

I wish I had watched this video before starting my own faceless KZbin channel! These tips are so helpful and would have saved me so much time and trial-and-error. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience, it's never too late to learn and improve as a content creator (Recently I also discovered that using a bit of Famester has leveled up my channel even more). Keep up the great work Kenna!!

[@kennedytaylor1716]

Okay, now I’m definitely taking this as a sign! I just moved across the country to NYC to pursue acting, and have wanted so badly to start a KZbin channel so I can create content I enjoy doing! Well yesterday I decided to sit down and really write out my ideas and even watched your 3 year old video about starting a channel. So after I saw you posted this TODAY, I got goosebumps.

[@bettybrown29]

Good decision you've made and welcome to youtube. I've started my channel too and this video have helped me to post my first videos 🥰🥰

[@futurefate.offical]

I was definitely getting in a slump after uploading a few videos and getting the outcome I wanted. You definitely reassured me of what is going and it helped me have the confidence to continue my new youtube life. Thank you, Kenna.

[@liamhays3181]

f I would to start again on YT, I just wouldn't waste months to get recognized by couple hundred people. When I discovered I could trigger organic growth after getting first 1k subs ( I was using Fame Ster) my life just got easier and my main channel exploded. People are just looking at the numbers when searching for some content. If you have low subs no one cares about you even if you have best content on platform.

[@rageena_b]

I just started my channel this year and these tips are very helpful. And you’re so right- it’s a lot of work but I’ve been loving it so I’m going to keep putting in the hard work and hopefully it’ll pay off soon! Thanks for the video!

[@danielacmoran]

i am always so inspired by you! been working on my youtube channel for 2 y ears and it is true, you do need to have a lot of patience but i have been having alot of fun with it so im just excited to see where it takes me, thank you kenna for your tips!

[@nathananderson8720]

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 861 subs and > 500 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@nathananderson8720]

@@Meljust_vlogz Thank you for taking the time to show your support! I wasted years of my life pursuing what I thought could fulfill me. I was lost as hell. I was searching for a feeling of purpose, being appreciated, being loved in many different wrong places such as career achievements, clubs, others’ opinions, etc. I worked hard for many years to graduate and have a stable high paying job and acquired most of the materialistic pursuits I’ve ever wanted but that spike of happiness didn’t last until I had enough and started to ask myself many existential questions that truly make this life matters and that’s when I got out of severe depression and actually experience how it is to be fully alive rather that being like a puppet and just let my life pass me by. So many sacrifices are needed to actually attain the authentic life I was scared of facing for so many years so that I can stay in my comfort zone but be miserable. I will be uploading videos that I hope can inspire others as well. It takes time but I will never stop.
