small creators, don't worry; we've got this. Keep going; your time will come. Have a good day, keep up the grind, and have faith in yourself!

[@BenjaminKatesook]

Keep grinding legend! All the best with all your journeys!

[@juanbenavidesj]

Ruri I was finally able to recover my subscription to your channel! KZbin is very difficult, but you show us that with determination and perseverance you can achieve results. Many thanks for everything. Happy New Year everyone! Let's move forward together!

[@LukeSutherland.]

Along my journey, I've learned you must be willing to stop caring what others will think about you. The ones who judge you, don't want the best for you. This is a game where you MUST be relentless with your own goals. You've got this

[@theashlienicole]

I totally needed to hear this! Thank you

[@warmdatastudio]

Ah, yes, perfectionism! I've always struggled with it and after over 10 years of wanting to start my channel, I was fed up with it and just started posting this past week. Even though I basically have no views at all yet, I feel soo liberated from it and like I'm actually actively kicking it in the butt by...just doing it (in tiny, imperfect steps). It sounds so simple and obvious, but it's one of the hardest things I've tried to overcome and it just feels so rewarding and exciting already! (: Just do the tiniest steps and you'll get there! Also, Ruri, thank you, from one adhd brain to another! (: Simple, clear and lots of valuable nuggets!

[@AdwoaAvor]

Dear Ruri. I am so glad I found your videos two months ago. I think you are an amazing lady with a lot of intelligence. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Keep posting.All the very BEST to you.

[@Tristo9]

Been binging some of your content, you're definetly one of the more genuine self improvement creators I've watched, appreciate you

[@Vikoboi]

Happy seeing you ruri! Have an amazing rest of the year! Much love to you and your loved ones

[@Chan-cm9do]

Simple, fluent and full of advice we may desperately need. As always excellent video from Ruri.

[@heitoroliveira5166]

I love your videos, Ruri. And i totally agree the most important thing is to keep posting anyway. Your videos actually help me a lot, a tried to make a channel some years ago and had no consistency cuz i was tu worried about lighting, setting, editing, b-roll... but i'm a photographer, so you're right again lol. Now i'm carefully thinking about what type of content i like to make and all of my thinking is been around reduce friction. Find a video editor that don't crashes on my computer cuz i don't have money to get a new one, finding a framing that i like, cuz i know if i dont get the framing i won't post it cuz the photographer in me would be outraged. Nothing fancy. Just clean. A light i can control. All jus so i can simply record and edit without worry too much about. Just like working out, if the gym is close to home, is way easier than walk an hour every day or something like that. Btw, i lived the spoonsor of today, i never saw something so cool, definetely gonna check it. Happy holidays and new year for y'll folks.

[@brandonswhispers]

You are one of the creators that helped give me that push to start my channel. I appreciate the thought behind all your videos!

Well, after a year off of youtube, i gotta say that i feel myself better without the toxicity on youtube. I learned many things while being away, traveled on some countries, writing a little book for myself to explain my journey and also, i finally got my big surgery and it was the thing that i truly needed. It's good to be back and seeing your content while doing mine on my own.

[@jeneralgod]

I only started my channel not too long ago and this is really giving me some insights on how to make the journey a lot more smoother, so thank you!

Ya are a strong woman!! The tough times ya have been through has made ya a warrior! Thanks for the video❤❤

[@VansMoney]

It takes time to grow your channel - to all the upcoming creators, I want to say, don’t give up. The most successful creators grinding for years before they reached a point where they can live off of their channels. We got this 🙌

[@ozaneylul]

I missed you girl! Welcome back!!

[@AjaMarjorieTV]

I watched this video 3 times. It’s a lot of great information. I am a small KZbinr trying to grow my channel. I cannot afford your one on one class! Which I’m really sad about because you know what you’re talking about! I will continue to watch and learn. Thank you for making this video!

[@LuxuriousBlu]

Thank you for that mission statement template. It helped me to better articulate my mission for my channel.

[@ZERALEM2127]

Wow you're active to give us the productive contents, Thank you

[@markkelderman2439]

Awesome content as always, and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us and I hope 2025 is going to be even better :) IMO, growing channel is never about luck. You have to be ready to get popular as fast as possible. Trends are always the same, just give people fun and engaging content, and you are good to go. Of course, it can be tough at the beginning (that's why I am using a little bit of Famester for every video I post. It makes everything a lot easier).

[@Johnworkout]

Its great to see how you transform and grow from the beginning. :)

[@MomKukunka]

There's a book called The Gilded Nexus of Prosperity, and it talks about how using some secret techniques you can attract a lot of money, it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal

[@BigCat-z4k]

I used some techniques from that book to make money, and I can truly say I'm earning more now

I miss your videos, thanks for this reommendations!!! GReetings from Venezuela

[@MonetizeWithMicah]

This is excellent advice. One of the biggest tips is to copy bigger creators, but that advice alone will do nothing. You have to know why they did what they did. And THAT should be the manner in which we copy. Not by just copying their style.

[@ruriohama]

Exactly!!!!

[@saburwolf2792]

Very Good Video Ruri, 0:45 that was one of the 3 strategies of making my KZbin videos for my Channel. Figuring out what can attract certain audiences, and what videos can be a real eye opener. And that's what i figured out over the past 4 years since i started my KZbin Channel. TYVM for sharing this with me Ruri, you are the best at what you do. Also, Happy New Year and i'll see you 2025 🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎊🎊🌹🌹🌹🌹🖤🖤🖤🖤♥♥♥♥❣❣❣❣

[@Araspus]

Perect Video Ruri. Keep up the good job.

[@T.E.L4urence]

Great Video, Ruri! I started my channel almost a year ago on a whim just to promote my art. But one video somewhat went viral and encouraged me to make it a proper channel with its own content and not just some backlog. I first didn't know what I was doing, but that was fine because I didn't need to figure everything out at once. I learned things one step at a time and have been gradually growing. I hope to reach 1000 subscribers next year. And thank you as well for inspiring me to take the first step! Your story of initially starting KZbin before the eventual success motivates me to keep pushing forward! GANBARE! :)

[@Thurstech]

The perfect video I needed to see to get ready for my startup in 2025. Thank you for all of your videos, you've been my biggest help with self help / KZbin startup videos.

[@dannylightning-audio-reviews]

Great video, i do want to point out that your mic sounds a little muddy which can make your voice a little harder to understand for some people, learning to EQ out the muddiness and maybe a presence boos6t with eq would make your voice allot more intelligible and sound allot nicer. . the sm7b is a very bass heavy mic that focuses on the low end, its a great mic but it usually needs a little EQ work

Super helpful to this small KZbinr. 😊 I like to make uplifting and motivational content about going for your goals. Thank you for the help with my channel. ❤

[@LearnPremierePro101]

Being a KZbinr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work will always pay off at the end.
