You're going to be a full-time content creator in 3 months & here's how you're going to do it..

[@TessBarclay]

Hi everyone! Thank you SO much for the love on this video - it means the world to me!! 🥹 I created a 30-page workbook to go along with it to build your strategy, brand and business as a content creator here: www.busyblooming.ca/shop + just wanted to share!

[@JdaPhoeniX9]

Thank you for the generous awesome content in this video.

[@mariechrismuncal]

Thank you for this. ❤

[@BrittanyCromwell]

😊😊😊

[@Miss_Annlaug]

Wow your online shop is stunning❤

[@Miss_Annlaug]

But for a 30 page sigital book that price is too high. Up to 30 dollars would be ok

[@johannaniesha]

Loved this! These are some notes I made but it’s not everything, just things I found useful in the video! 1. Start a series. This works especially well with short form content 2. Make the content about the audience. Use “You” instead of “I/me” 3. Have one liners and hooks 4. Post quality over quantity. Try to post over 3 or 6 videos per week. 5. Post outreach videos. Don’t post videos that are off brand during the growth phase. 6. Do not stop testing and trying things. Don’t stop testing new hooks, platforms, styles etc. 7. Focus on building community. Think about a specific persona who might need your videos. Think about the specific person you’re talking to with every single piece of content you post. 8. Adopt the mindset of someone who’s a content creator. If you had 100k followers what would you post? 9. Never stop pivoting, changing, testing or trying. 10. Give yourself permission to talk about the things that you want to talk about. 11. Remember comparison is the thief of joy. Run in your own lane!

Thank you!!!!!!!

Thank youuuu ❤

[@whereisrizanow]

Thank you for summarizing!

[@miniestarr4963]

Very informative. I would just advice to cut back on your body and hand movements. It was too much and honestly it made me dizzy. Another thing would be not to talk too fast, becomes it becomes so overwhelming and tiring. This is just constructive criticism, hope you don’t get offended.

[@LifeOfViette]

@@miniestarr4963my advice to you would be to manually slow down the video in your settings, I’m sure that would help a lot. But for us who speak English as a first language we don’t mind upbeat talking speeds. I always speed up most videos anyway to 1.5 or higher 😅. But for a language I am learning I would just slow the video down vs telling the creator to slow down their talking speed just for me 😂.

Congratulations. Please keep up the momentum and good work🎉

[@TessBarclay]

YAY!! You got this!!!

[@jackywacky4361]

I am small KZbinr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Fame- ster, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).

[@Kaurcreates22]

for me its really hard right now im only at 42 and want to get to 1000 but its hard, what is fmestart?

[@ClarissaCannon]

Same it’s super hard and I have 44 videos and there people who have less and get more traction

[@KathDpl]

Hey guys I started 2020 and it almost took me a 7 months to gain 1k subs and another 3 months for getting all the watch hours. Don’t stoppppp

I’ve found myself watching these types of videos over and over again every year of me wanting to just start, But I’ve always been my worst critic. Always looking for a “blueprint” on how to start, and I can honestly say your video has so much value and guidance I love it! Thank you !

[@Shy.N.Karl.Love-Jesus]

I feel ya girl.... Word for word, you read my mind.

[@withloveaaliyah]

even though you just uploaded this. i just want to say i appreciate these recent videos you’ve been posting so much! i’m a recent college grad for game design and it’s been so hard to find ANYTHING in the area. But i have social media with around a combined following of 110k people. i want to take a risk on myself and just pursue it full time as im dreading the job im at right now and since i haven’t been getting any interviews i wonder if this is just my time to go for something different. will be watching the video but just wanted to mention your videos truly have helped me through my lowest lows for being a content creator

[@britneyford]

What would you say helped You the most with growth?

[@TessBarclay]

This means the WORLD!! Thank you so much!! I'm so happy I can help!

[@LiLacLife359]

I’m at 62 subscribers and it’s been one month into KZbin for me.. I was actually feeling quite dejected and discouraged when I came across your video.. thank you for the energy and the hope! Although 3 months seems like a very short amount of time for me to become a full-time creator, it’s given me a little bit of hope :) So thank you!

[@Soulfulandvegan]

New subscriber here ❤

[@LifeOfViette]

😂 you have only been online for a month, imagine how people who have been here for a year with those numbers would feel….. Life isn’t over I promise. Just keep going. KZbin is not a microwave it’s a slow cooker in most cases and for some it’s a high temperature oven. You’re ok.

[@HeyImAedRianne]

Just keep going! That 62 subs might have took 1 year for other people to get. So thats a great start❤😊

[@livinrap]

[@justagirlnamedvllee]

Girl! I feel like I owe you after watching this video! This is pure gold! Thank you🫶

[@cagatayelmaci9874]

I think this channel is very, very underrated. I really don’t know why. Because there are channels that give less value but have 700k+ subs, I literally didn’t understand maybe part of it you giving tons and tons of value but don’t saying that please subscribe and like. To be fair, you are the most genuine content creator under a million subscribers, as far as I have seen so far. I love your work, Tess, and I want your channel to get bigger and bigger. Loves from London.

[@allofjenny]

Soooooo happy I found your channel since I will be getting back to posting my nursing content. Thank you for all the great information, May God bless you 😊

[@SometimesGlam]

Hey tess, you mentioned an episode on hard laiunching a rebrand, can you help point to that?

I wish I had found someone like you back in 2019 when I was trying to start, but I'm really glad people have you now though!

[@HannahWeir]

Tess, honestly thank you so much for making this video! It was just what I needed to get my sh*t together. I've been kidding myself for so long, saying I don't want to put myself into a box when it comes to content creation (which is true), but I think it was really just the fear of showing up that has made me avoid getting clear on my vision and strategy. This was exactly what I needed. Appreciate it so much! ❤

[@loberrysnowberry]

Wow! What amazing advice! I usually listen to these and click away with nothing afterwards, but today I updated my bio and already came up with an idea for a series plus ideas for videos for the series 😄 Thank you!!

[@brookienicole]

I am excited to start this year! wish me luck. I have always felt like i am an imposter and i shouldnt make content videos because i am not an expert on a lot of things. so i tend to shy away from it.

[@Bealena_]

me and my friends started posting on yt around seven months ago and i feel like my life is completely different. when we started it was really difficult because we didn’t really know how everything worked but now we have around 260 followers and we couldn’t be more happy or proud, even tho it’s not that much we appreciate each one of them

This is the first time I'm seeing you. I'm so glad it come up on my feed. This is so, so helpful! I love you passion too!❤😊 God Bless

[@EmilyWard88]

Hello. I stumbled across your video today, and in keeping with the spirit of the video, IT WILL CHANGE MY LIFE IN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS! Thank you for being kind enough to share such detailed steps about how you can grow as a content creator on social media over the next 3 months. This is exactly the type of video I have been searching for. I feel (and know) that so many creators would keep this information for paid clients only. So, thank you for sharing and helping us all blossom x

[@ivy_gibby]

I recently moved here in the US from the Philippines and as I started my life over again, I decided to be back in KZbin after being MIA for so long. I initially struggled with consistency and structuring my upcoming contents and watching this video kinda gave some sort of clarity because not gonna lie, it can get overwhelming! Thanks for giving us drive and for inspiring us to be the best content creator version of ourself, Tess!

[@TranquilMaple]

Thank you so much for this. Tranquil is a faceless channel with music and ambience videos, but all of these tips are still so helpful.

[@erikadalay3661]

I haven’t fully finished watching this video but I thought I should mention I LOVE your positivity and energy! So contagious!!!❤

[@cheriebakertv]

This has got me excited! There are so many points you made that I would never have thought of, and yet I did think I knew enough. I'm lucky to always think about the "end user" so to speak, so whenever I create content I always envision how it may impact someone. I'm about to binge watch your other videos.

[@TessBarclay]

Ahh I'm so glad!! Thank you so much!

[@AustineMills]

I’ve been uploading content for years and I just now have 1.6k to everyone just keep going you got it!

[@GirlBossAlways07]

I’m a small KZbinr and learning so much about KZbin, I’m trying to be consistent and post weekly and just don’t give up!

[@TessBarclay]

That’s amazing!! Keep going!! 🎉

[@whitneysommer2351]

OMG this was THE BEST video I've ever watched about becoming a full-time content creator. I just want to say how much I appreciate it! I have a full-time corporate job and I'm a part-time KZbinr, with the goal of making it my full-time profession. Recently I branded my videos "The New 40" as a way for women to feel more confident and embrace getting older. By doing so, I saw a big increase in subscribers and comments in my videos. I love the idea of starting a series, do you think this would work well on KZbin? You mentioned uploading 3 to 6 videos a week on IG and TikTok. Thanks!!

[@sabrinakalea]

I looked at your account and it's so smart of you to say ‘the new 40’ because just from your thumbnails I thought you were in your twenties. So that's a very important piece of information that makes it more relatable and interesting.

[@sarahspeaksup]

I totally smirked when you said, owning being a content creator, I am so bashful about this when my boyfriend tells other people about my KZbin channel I turn red and shush him. You are right though ❤

[@TessBarclay]

Own it!!

[@itsgenesislee]

Yessss I love this video!! I do work a 9-5 but also love being creative and myself (since I'm not at work) so uploading on yt really gives me balance on life. I would love to leave my job and pursue content creating so I will do my best in uploading every week. My advice for people who are still contemplating on uploading- Life is short! Do what you love and be authentic!! Someone will subscribe if they align with your content and energy

[@Shiellayakubu]

I’ve been inconsistent on KZbin but this month I decided to do full time content creation cus my 9-5 work place is toxic and I hate it and want to quit so bad. This video just came in time to help me get better with creating

[@victoriaveeart]

3:25 is so true! I don’t even listen to much of the advice just staying true to yourself and Seo/trend forecasting helps

[@GoThaliaGoThaliaGo]

This was soooo helpful thank you so much. I love an assignment and framework. Thanks for putting this together

[@WhaChuUpTo]

This was recommended to me and I'm so glad I clicked. 🙌 I gotta admit, as a girlie who nervously just started her KZbin channel, I've tried to avoid clicking creator tip videos because I was worried the advice would overcrowd my own judgement and cause me to overthink. But your energy was so encouraging and your tips were super practical. ❤

[@prettysmartpresius]

This video is excellent! I'm going to document myself doing this guide for 3 months!

[@TessBarclay]

[@TessBarclay]

YAY! I'm so glad! 🎉

[@surabhitrivedi6915]

Absolutely loved your video. I have watched 100s of videos and tbh I was like I know it's one of those videos post 5 days a week or niche down etc, but I am so glad I still watched it, your video is somehow so comforting and makes me feel like I can start. Thanks :)

[@livelightnomad]

It took me an hour to finish this video because I had to pause so many times to take notes. By far the best video I’ve seen about how to be a content creator. I was planning to follow the advice of “niche down and post 3 times a day” but your approach sounds so much smarter and more fun. Thank you!

[@Urexquisite]

This has been the best information I’ve seen/heard yet!!! Thank you soooooo much for this video!!! I will be following you hard!!!!
