[@jessaca]

I've had my channel for a while, but I've started really getting into it in summer of 2024.

[@GrowNayGlow]

Here from threads 😊 such a beautiful start to the video it was very peaceful and calm. I'm so proud of you for taking this step. I can relate with the fears you faced starting this journey. You are going to do amazing though. This is my 2nd KZbin . I wanted to start fresh. You definitely motivated me to do my 1st long form video this week. Thank you ❤

[@nicolechantellle]

Hi Renee! I think I just responded to you on Threads haha! Again, you are not alone in your fears - it is scary! But once you put out that first video, you will feel better! Make sure you have fun with it and don't take it too seriously because that's when it starts feeling like work. I'm so glad my video reached you and motivated you to put out your first video! I'll be looking out for it ;)

[@nuwannalovely3765]

Congrats on the engagement🎉 and welcome to KZbin. I'm 35 and have been contemplating creating a channel too. I wish you much success on your channel 🙏

[@nicolechantellle]

Such a wild journey, but a fun one!! :) Thank you so much for being here!

[@AltoonaYourPiano]

Welcome to KZbin! So glad you decided to start. And 41 is still young, you're about two years younger than my eldest niece (she turns 43 in February). I've got seen KZbinrs on here who are of my parents generation (born in the 1940s). You guys sound awesome, I'm also a bit of a nerdy guy (love video games, comics, etc, my first game system was Atari 2600). Honestly, I love that you are authentic and real, old school KZbin was people talking to a camera. Not sure if I'm in the small KZbinr or medium-sized KZbinr category (but I still interact like a small KZbinr, partly because I've been on here since the early days of KZbin, signed up in March 2006, became serious about it in July 2012), but I made sure to never lose sight of things I felt when I began. One thing I tell everyone, the newcomers and veteran KZbinrs is that they only advice you need is "have fun" and if in doubt, consult the first piece of advice. Also, always keep your oldest stuff, it's a quick way to look back at your first stuff and see how far you came. Small info about me: I'm a musician, been creating music since 1988 (in fact today is the 36th anniversary of when I recorded my first song, sadly the cassette has been lost to time).

[@nicolechantellle]

Hi there! Thank you for the warm welcome and for sharing some much needed advice/tips! I appreciate the support and wish you success on your KZbin journey🤗

[@bychristianna]

I’m a small KZbinr too! Congratulations on starting 🎉
