Starting a YouTube Channel Over 40: Essential Tips for Beginners

[@Moneyfromzero]

This video came out of some frustration with trying to develop content, and the things I don’t want KZbin to become. I pray you are encouraged by it and let me know if this was helpful😊

[@scarlettburnham-purelyscar6720]

I have been there...

[@walkingwithgoddevotion8312]

I started my channel over a year ago and It really keeps me focused on God! 🙏 Amen and Amen 🙏

[@CookinLivinForgiven-Scarlett]

I needed that scripture today... Thank ya, ma'am! I look forward to getting to know you more. This video is filled with great info.

@@CookinLivinForgiven-Scarlett Thank you so much for watching! Welcome to the community!🥰

oh wow! Thank you for the shout out, Melissa. I appreciate you. I quit paying attention to my analytics because it was stressing me out. I've pivoted my niche and I think I've finally found my purpose. The reason I pivoted to talking about ADHD is because it's my specialty and I feel really confident talking about this stuff. You literally made me cry. Thank you so so much for that. It really means a lot

[@Moneyfromzero]

@@LonnaRaeDHD You are so welcome!💕 I love watching others grow. You are doing great!😊

[@LonnaRaeDHD]

@@Moneyfromzero thank you. You’re growing a lot faster than I am and it’s awesome! It makes me really happy to see other small creators growing, especially the ones I’ve connected with. 🩷 I’ve joined a group on FB that’s on the small side and it’s a bunch of GenX women KZbinrs. And they’re all genuine and real people…not a bunch of bots. It’s super supportive. We do monthly zoom calls. They’re actually the ones doing the 30 day challenge that I’m in. I love it! Let me know if that’s something you’d be interested in and I can talk to the group about it. It’s a private group and requires an invitation so everyone is vetted. I think you’d fit in well. 🩷

It was for me Melissa. When I tell you my anxiety was through the roof this week, it really hit me hard. That hasn’t happened in quite some time. It was a combination of things including KZbin at the top of my list. After 3 years of doing this, I continually have to remind myself I’m doing the best I can. I try not to get caught up in the numbers and concentrate on the positives of this journey. Right now, you and many of the women over 50 that I have met has been the most positive part of this journey. I definitely feel like I have learned so much from all of you. I gave my anxiety to Jesus and said I know you got me and I will keep going. Thank you for the encouragement and I loved the bloopers!

[@Moneyfromzero]

@@joannsalas Awe🥹I so glad you were encouraged and Lol about the bloopers. I was feeling everybody has the same struggle and sometimes it just helps to see what other people experience❤️

Hey lady, this is Scarlett Burnham from Scarlett's Cookin and Livin Forgiven. I wanted to subscribe from my second channel! I am enjoying your content, and I will continue to watch. Thank you!

[@Moneyfromzero]

@@scarlettburnham-purelyscar6720 Thank you so much! I’ll check your channel out as well. I love your channel name🥰

[@scarlettburnham-purelyscar6720]

@@Moneyfromzero , you are very welcome! I appreciate your support and compliments on my channel name. That was very nice!

[@simplifyyourlifewithgwen]

I set out to only use bullet points but end up writing a script. And then not following it. But at least I’ve thought it through. Lol Kudos to you for putting in the time on your channel after a full week of work! 🎉 It definitely gets easier with time and is also frustrating at times. Lol. Philippians 4:6-7 is a favorite passage of mine! ❤ Jesus is my Savior too! Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. Yes! 🙌🏼 Another great video! 💗 Love the bloopers. 😆

[@Moneyfromzero]

@@simplifyyourlifewithgwen Thank you so much for watching. 💕

[@Psalm23bytheSea]

Great Word ❤ Phillipians I agree I've made mine a hobby whilst I'm learning. Mainly for my children. Eventually it will improve

[@Moneyfromzero]

@@Psalm23bytheSea Thank you for watching! 😊

[@CookinLivinForgiven-Scarlett]

Yes, the scripture was something I needed to hear today!

[@LivinLifeontheR5]

Great video! Im proud of you for listening to the Holy Spirit’s prompting and for having the courage to rise to the occasion! My wife and I enjoy your channel and watching your confidence grow behind the camera. We are right behind you in our journey and it’s so easy to connect with everything you are going through. We loved and laughed at the bloopers. Thank you for adding that! It was real and beautiful to see the perfection within the imperfection!

[@Moneyfromzero]

@@LivinLifeontheR5 ok now you are going to make me cry😭💕🙌🏻🙏 if you saw my live, you will see I get emotional easy😂. Thank you so much for y’all’s support! I sincerely am grateful. God Bless Y’all!

[@PattyB.Gardening]

Great video! You are a big encouragement for me with my KZbin channel and with my faith! I thank God for you, Melissa!💚

[@Moneyfromzero]

@@PattyB.Gardening Thank you so much Patty🥹🥰❤️

[@travelingexpats]

Great video, Melissa! We just started using Google Sheets to create a spreadsheet of content ideas because Lee and I would write our ideas in notebooks but we had so many of them laying around the house that we had a hard time finding our "notes." It's working out so much better being able to log it into our phone when an idea strikes and we both can edit and view the spreadsheet. I love how you spotlight a small channel in your videos - so supportive and kind of you. Also love your bloopers.😂

[@Moneyfromzero]

@@travelingexpats awe thank you Betty! That is a great idea 🥰 about the spreadsheet and I have seen others do that as well. Thank you for your support, it means a lot❤️

[@Kittyheavenwith21cats]

I just video on the go.. for me uts just fun videoing my cats and we talk about my 21. Im just starting and i am nervous about doing long videos and I will write down what I want to say otherwise i will forget everything..but editing maybe a few minutes but then again im just doing this as a hobby and a way to share my passion of my love for my pets..i just don't have patience for editing and trying to figure out..

[@Kittyheavenwith21cats]

I would like to figure out some editing though because I definitely have bloopers. I should probably edit those out sometimes I suppose..so what editing program do you use? And how hard is it figuring it out
