[@DillonAJacobsma]

The official answer is no. Haha. I love the quote, “to make KZbin easy…make KZbin easy.” Genius

[@singwithblanka]

It's not too late, it's the right time 😀

[@TopMarketingConsultant]

Over saturation is ebb and flow. It’s all about getting tot the right audience and producing what they either want to hear or the opposing side of what they hate. Preferring to have both sides that feel strongly on either side

[@kaseebonline]

no it is never too late

[@encounteredtruth]

It is not too late. KZbin is the 2nd largest search engine out there! Gotta start somewhere! Blessings! To 2024!

[@ClarissaWinchester]

I don’t think it’s too late to start a KZbin channel. I was told this a long time ago: Someone out there needs exactly what YOU have and how YOU deliver it. Yes, you might be talking about the same thing several others are talking about, but your method of delivery is much more relatable than what others are doing. The channel you start today may change someone’s life next week, next month, next year, or next decade!! 😊

[@fashiontok4064]

Well said!!

[@RoadmanRich]

Powerful message, I couldn’t agree more!

[@joshuasmith3682]

This is it right here

[@robienillosistoso628]

Very true 💯

[@becomesavvy]

This is really inspiring! Just because one style works for a lot of other people doesn’t mean that your own style won’t work much better for you. Everyone is unique and has massive potential for success on KZbin, but a big part of the journey is finding out what fits you best and how to best approach your own unique style and personality :)

[@SeanzViewEnt]

Thanks to think media I now have nearly 140,000 subscribers

[@TheFloNTheMo]

Yep, they motivated me to finally start and find a good, cheap, set up 👌

[@MexicoAdventurer]

Awesome. I just crossed the 1,000 sub mark a few days ago... not even trying.

[@michaelbricks733]

I just 50 subs yesterday

[@Stahlengelmusic]

Thats awesome. Congrats!

[@MexicoAdventurer]

@@michaelbricks733 Keep going! You'll have success!

[@RecoveryMisfit]

When Patrick Bet-David said he only had 2k subs in the first 2 years, that gave me some real perspective

[@tstyleartistry]

5 minutes in and I'm hearing great advice. Keep it simple. Don't stress. Just chill. Commit to 1 upload per week to start. Don't overthink. Be true to yourself. You don't have to do what others are doing.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Well said!

[@LorieWoodruff]

Absolutely! Just keep moving in your business! :)

[@Oursimplelife907]

4 years into my channel and still learning. Committing, making it a part of my life was hard until it became my normal. Starting is always hard, but if you start your channel today, next week you will be 1 week in.

[@harrisonparker3125]

Great perspective! You're right!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Keep at it!

[@LorieWoodruff]

You are definitely right! Progress is progress!

[@karlbodmer4368]

Amazing video with valuable tips and insights on how to succeed on KZbin and make a sustainable income. You guys never disappoint with your content, and I can't wait to apply some of these tips you mentioned (I am also using a bit of Famester), and see enormous growth on my channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep up the great work.

[@hallorwalahfrid6074]

Thanks for sharing, really awesome tip to use Famester

[@KimberlyAmato]

Great advice... reminds me what my writing coach told me - just write. It might be a mess, but you can always edit, reshoot or what not. You can't get better if you don't start. That being said, I'm starting a new channel as an extension of the podcast my wife and I have. I'm concerned I won't be able to put in all the time necessary to make it a success.

[@LorieWoodruff]

Absolutely! Just get it started! :)

[@ekweanichukwudi]

I personally dont believe you can succeed on KZbin without being a watcher of KZbin. Alot can be learned by just being a good observer😊

[@MishaElRusito]

08:44 That's the best advice. I've done it without thinking about it. I uploaded different types of videos and then a few of them started to get lots of views and the others didn't. So I focused on the ones that did and kept going in that direction.

[@PistachioVentures]

Is it too late? No way, I just started mine! Thank you for another solid video. This has been years in the making for me. You guys are killing it and have been a huge help in my journey.

[@ProsperousPathways]

I’m tired of being a loser on KZbin 😢 2024 I will tackling my KZbin goals!

[@antno_2064]

Rs

[@attazmills29]

Go Getter!!!

[@fitnessandthings]

I didn't start my channel with the intention of making money. It was really about doing something completely out of my comfort zone and showing people what I do to stay physically active for a better quality of life as I get older. Also enjoying life with family and friends! Hence the name "Fitness and things". The more I do it, the more I enjoy it. The whole process. I'd have to say out of all of it, editing the videos is my favorite part! Never thought I would say that being that I'm technologically challenged, but learning more with every video I create! Now if I were to start making a little money someday, well that would just be icing on the cake! Good luck to everyone in 2024!!

[@robienillosistoso628]

Love what you said, totally relate ❤

[@ThinkMediaTV]

The more you give, the more you'll receive eventually!

[@RobReynosa]

“The dept” and your niche is the culmination of your essence.” I watched this twice now. This time taking notes and what you said here deeply resonates. I use essence for everything, to understand and express the “real” reasons or to describe the life or meaning behind “the thing.” This helped me understand me a bit better. So, thank you! 🙏🏽

[@EatDrinkWot]

Some great nuggets here. Loved the question about what pitfalls/mistakes to expect when starting out. Key takeaways for me: 1. Consistency is key. Some videos take off after 100 days. Videos compound like interest 2. Just post something. Don't take a leap of faith. Take the next step 3. Hire a thumbnail expert for $10/thumbnail. I'd personally do this after the first couple of months so I can understand what's actually involved 4. Break down your goals. For example, if you want to make $2,000/mo and your RPM is $22, you would need 91,000 views per month.

[@LorieWoodruff]

i love it! You got it! :)

[@itsocooltooknow]

Never too late! So excited for 2024! 🥳

[@kickitinthesticks1446]

I really love hearing the advice in this video. I definitely stress way too much over editing, and it really slows my process down. I know it has been shown and proven in many Think Media videos that the most perfect uploads are not needed to get views and subscribers. The content itself, and it's ability to connect with viewers and provide some form of value, is what matters more than anything else.

[@TheSwedishCarGuy]

I can relate on this, my best edited videos get the lowest views ^^ and the one videos I almost did no edit to goes really well :S Mega strange, sure some of my love videos it shown and the stats its finally catching up on them :)

[@harrisonparker3125]

Couldn't have said it better myself, I completely agree!

[@PistachioVentures]

I can relate! I was a professional musician for over 20 years and always used to limit my solos to one take (I was a saxophone player). I would get stuck for hours trying to record, re-record, splice, edit, etc. I eventually had enough and limited myself to lay it down in one shot. I just recently started my channel (today) and am going to stick to the limited editing mindset. Best of luck on your journey!

[@siobhandeguerin9221]

I have always said when these two are together, they are content, creator, gold for information on how to grow and maintain a channel!

[@becomesavvy]

I like what you said about the editing! As a small KZbinr, I used to think that more fast-paced edits, sound effects, etc. were what I needed to hold an audience’s attention. A couple weeks back, I ran an experiment on my channel where instead of doing my usual scripted, edited videos, I did no script (just bullet points) and only jump cuts for editing (cutting out breaths, silence, etc.). In the end, viewer duration was VERY similar to my more edited videos! I think the big thing there is that people still enjoy slower-paced videos with more authenticity. I do plan to do scripting and editing in my future videos, but my goal is to keep things feeling more natural and authentic while only doing edits if they truly add to the video

[@marcgabasTHINK]

@becomesavvy Thanks for watching and this awesome point. Sometimes less is more. Happy Holidays!

[@SennTherna]

I love this, i am trying the exact same type of strategy Keep it up man and goodluck!

[@kerilintner]

This was RAD! Ive joined VRA and have been slow to start implementing what I've learned this far. I am my husband's social media manager, so my main focus is there. I learned here WHY he has only 1 video that has done well and now I need to get him on board making more these kinds of videos (Instead of a hodgepodge) so we can monetize what we've started about 8 years ago. His industry is changing so we need to step-up our game! Thanks for the motivation to move forward guys!

[@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478]

I’m starting a business and I’ve earned 3 certifications in the field, was able to connect with Codie Sanchez and ask 4 questions about business and now I’m flying to Costa Rica 🇨🇷 to focus on my coaching business. I’m considering documenting my trip for KZbin to practice while away. I’ve bought two domains and working with AI coaches for prompt engineering and coaching classes.

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

This video is reminding me of why I started my channel in the first place. Thank you so much for all the little reminders and nudges that I needed to regroup, refocus, and get back out there this year. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@KellyYoumans]

I wasn’t sure if it was too late, but knowing that we are the only one that can deliver our message in our own unique way makes me know if done correctly, success can and will happen! 😊

[@Manzanoliving]

So excited to dive deep into my KZbin channel this year, thank you for ask this valuable information!

[@gigworkmama]

This was such a great conversation. There were so many nuggets in this video. It's like being a fly on the wall of such a deep convo filled with tips. I loved that Omar was like amateur hours with the RPM but he's crushing it. Just goes to show that you don't really need to nerd out on the numbers. Just do the thing.

[@FriarTuck81]

It took me over a year to figure out what my niche was, but now my channel is doing amazing

Omar, I always watch all your videos. Your insights are top-notch, and you explain things in a way that's accessible. Thanks a lot!

[@EthicalDilemmasInScience]

The point about phases/seasons really hit home for me. I can definitely see how my progress up to now is the entry point for building skills and the ability to create consistent content. Hopefully, after participating in the Think Media KZbin 1k Challenge, I am moving into the next phase where I will begin to understand how KZbin works and I can position my videos to perform better.

[@barryfeatheringill6472]

[@SelfCareSoothesTheSoul]

"There's so much more learning in the doing than there is in the hearing" Yes yes yes!!!! So true.

[@reginaviscount]

I do not think it's too late to start a KZbin channel. I think if you have clarity on what you want to create and systems that help to simplify the process coupled with an open mind to track and tweak results you'll build momentum faster and clear the clutter from what's out there.

[@PrepHERedness]

Thank you for the encouragement! As I get ready to launch my channel, this was perfect timing.
