Tip for anyone starting who is serious about KZbin, what she said about preparing videos consistently being hard is real! I made another channel about bra fittings and pre-filmed all the videos for the first month before publishing anything. On launch week, I publish 6 videos, then just one a week. I got monetized within 5 months of starting the channel. It didn't make a lot of money, but I got a sponsorship and PR samples. Preparing for the first month gave me time to prepare 4 videos for the following month with ease. All the topics were niche specific and due to planning, all my outros teased to the next video and they were in a sequence so that people would binge my channel. If your content is executed correctly, stay consistent, you will see success eventually.

Hi Katie! I'm so glad I found your channel! Fellow KZbinr here with a dog channel about our family's journey rescuing and adopting a very special, one-eyed Shih Tzu. I'm so glad you made this video because I really appreciate what you said about not wanting to put yourself in a box. I feel the same way! I think this is something many of us new and smaller creators struggle with because being niche specific all the time can feel restrictive. I think part of being creative is branching out a little bit here and there which I've definitely done. Totally agree with you about consistency - Sunday is our day and our viewers know it and look forward to it! I share your love of DisneyWorld by the way so, I'll be watching your videos! 🤗😊😘

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 343 subs and almost > 100 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 couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

So many videos out there focus on making thousands of dollars (It feels all about one should become a millionaire from KZbin!!) That is not my focus at all. I'd be happy if I eventually made $200 a month from my channel because that would cover the costs of the cat food I give out to stray cats here in Istanbul. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, so this video is very helpful. I wish every small KZbin channel out there the best!

Hi Katie. What are the rules on getting the full page monetized when you're using the partnered provided copyright music options of music artists in the KZbin shorts section? I saw you had music in your shorts so maybe you know. I have only non copyright music in my full videos on the actual channel..Question 2, I've started another channel & I'm using KZbin shorts to grow the channel, the shorts are singing clips from Instagram of different singers (no water marks) does this count as original content or it wouldn't qualify to be monetized? It’s only on the shorts videos, I’ve posted 3 so far..thanks.
