Nice 👍
This video was so insightful….I need to keep adding my channel name as a key term to each upload but worry that it won’t rank high . After various posts I’m hoping I’ve finally captured a niche that I can work with…only time will tell…🧐
THANK YOU MAM GILLIAN
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 729 subs and > 200 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
To the person who is reading this, don’t give up on your UA-cam channel. Keep going it’s going to get better.
Yes! 🎉
Ty for the boost!
Great video! Thank you 🙏🏾 Wishing everyone here the best on your UA-cam journey. You got this!!!
Props for jumping right in. That's awesome! 👍
You always provide such practical, actionable advice, Gillian! It took me a year to hit 1,000 subscribers, and now I'm consistently gaining around 130 subs per month. I would love to gain faster, but I'm focusing on being consistent and setting my goals around things I CAN control (like my consistency) rather than subscriber goals that I can't necessarily control. It helps me feel motivated to keep going because as long as I'm posting in accordance to the goals I set, I'm going to grow by default.
Thanks for all the hard work you put into creating these videos! You're such an inspiration!
I followed you . I will be watching you. I have a channel for young women living with HIV desiring to become Moms. I really appreciate your insights into motherhood...Thank you. Will be sharing your videos and recommending your content to Moms living with HIV like me.
You put this into perspective beautifully @wildmother. “…focusing on being consistent and setting my goals around things l CAN control…” I vow to do this as well.
Since rededicating myself to UA-cam l’ve consistently published 77 videos over the last 19months and l still haven’t hit my first 1,000 subscribers.
But thankfully with consistency growth happens by default.
Wishing you much continued success!
Gillian perkins Thank Very Much for Your big Information
Gillian's succinctness definitely has kept we watching.
Gillian! You're the best. Thank you for all the great tips.
I’m over a month in now. Not been an easy task but I’m hanging on and learning on the go! Wishing the best to everyone! 💪🏾💝
Nicely presented Gillian. Very clear and concise. I am taking notes as you speak. This has been very motivating and helpful!
Fabulous video! Sooo informative. Love it.
Great information. Thank you very much!
Thanks Gillian 🌎 Blessings. Greetings from Colombia. The Venezuelan immigrant writer 🇻🇪
You're so good at teaching. The way things are so clearly structured and easy to follow. Filled with actual advise and packed with info but still clear enough that it can be easily followed. great video!
I'm glad it was helpful :)
thank-you this was so helpful!
Oh my gosh thank you for the action steps with the summary. You’re totally right I see so many videos and it’s all this information all over the place, but then you think “what do I do first?” Thank You Gillian 🧡❤️💙
Thank you so much, very helpful informations ❤
Thanks so much, Gillian! I just started my channel in January with mindset coaching content for 20-somethings and this was really encouraging. I’ll be sure to check out your workshop!
Sounds like a great topic! ❤️
Its a passion to create youtube videos!
Absolutely packed full of everything you need to start and grow your own UA-cam channel! Great video Gillian. Big hugs🤗🥰
Thank you, Amanda ❤️ I appreciate you!

Gillian is a Rock star!!!!!!
Thanks Gillian 🌎 Blessings 🌅🌅 Greetings from Colombia. The Venezuelan immigrant writer 🇻🇪
I wish!😄
Thanks 👍🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic video,beautifully explained.thanks
I am trying
UA-cam is a lot of work but .... so is going to a 9 to 5 (or longer). I prefer the flexibility and potential on UA-cam. :) Great refreshers Gillian!
So true!
Awesome feedback, thanks 😊😊😊.
Gillion I've been watching your videos for a while. I don't know how long but I know it's been way over a year. I've been thinking about starting a UA-cam channel for about as long as I have been watching your videos. I have been afraid to do this because of lack of knowledge and I am not a tech savvy person. I'm currently a truck driver. I'm ready to get started. Also want to let you know that I appreciate your professional approach and it is refreshing to see you doing videos decently and with dignity. You seem to be a credit to your gender
@johndenver 😎 Cool my Dad was a truck driver for many years. I know how hard you guys work and how vital you are to our economy, thank you!
Also, l know first hand what it’s like to be afraid to start because of lack of knowledge or not being a tech savvy person. I’ve been there myself.
If you have the desire to get started go for it! UA-cam is a skill+art. I believe that you’ll figure it out as you go.
Nice one! Very informative! 👍
Glad you think so!
Thank you for those tips.
Great info
Thank you so much for this video! My problem is that I'm in an over saturated/niche community so I need to find a way to be unique. I do a lot of paper planning and its a very niche community that's hard to become well known. But I am now encouraged to brainstorm some fresh ideas for my channel to help it grow!
Love this! Great video, the hardest part for me is to stay consistent.
@moneymomlime you’re not alone. Staying consistent as a Creator and a Mom is hard for me too, even with a post-production team. I have to remind myself that l’m not a robot. Life happens. It’s ok. Just keep going! 💕
This video was excellent and extremely, you so inspiring and enthusiastic about the utube channel creation and just incredible informative, for real, thanks a million
It is an awesome video which is point out that importance of different videos
Merci !
Love all your videos! Question, do you recommend a separate Google/UA-cam account from your personal one to create a boundary between personal and business (since goal would be monetization, etc.)?
You can, but it isn’t necessary. I initially established my UA-cam account with a separate business email. Today l no longer operate that business, but since the bulk of my UA-cam library lives under that account when l rededicated myself to UA-cam l chose to build from the same account and have all emails forwarded to my now business Google accounts.
I LIKE THIS VIDEO!🎉✔
Very helpful. Have you done a video on how to edit a video? I would be really interested in that. Thanks so much!
Laura if you go to Gillian’s home page of her channel and hit the 🔎icon you type in your query to see if she’s produced a video on whichever desired topic you’re interested in.
For beginners with Apple MacBooks, iMovie is user friendly. Adobe Pro is another good option. Or my favorite (if you have the cashflow) outsource your editing by hiring a part-time VA or video production company for roughly $100/video.
Really great advice. It is definitely a lot of work, but it can be very rewarding. I know that I am still learning a lot with my travel channel every day. I think the hardest part is figuring out the algorithm, which I think it takes some time as you try different types of videos.
It definitely takes practice and research to learn the algorithm. It's easy to get discouraged at first, keep staying consistent and learning. You got this :)
Gillian thanks for another great informative video. My channel is growing slowly but I am being consistent and doing the things you recommend. I am focusing on helping others and providing a ton of value to entrepreneurs. I hope to have your level of success. Thank you again!
You got this!
Thank you for always great content Gillian. I have a question that I just can't figure out. I have a channel that has been just under 10k subs for over a year and a half, and since that happened I really lost some steam because I kind of wondered why I was doing it when I wasn't growing and hardly anyone was seeing my videos. Also what I love about youtube is connecting and teaching but I don't love technical stuff, film making, photography, editing, and social media which I haven't been doing for over a year and a half. Ok, so I don't know what happened initially to change everything, but I do know what I would need to change and do differently to have a successful channel. My question for you or anyone who has an answer is how is it different if I do those things on my current channel vs. starting from scratch? In your story I heard you say you started a second channel and succeeded, but why didn't you just change your strategy on your first channel? My preference would be to clean up my existing channel and start doing everything right but I need to know if that is a waste of time and I need to start a whole new channel if I want to give youtube another go? Please help, I'd love to get your advice. and invite anyone in the comments to send what you know about this as well. Thanks for listening, and best of luck to all! 💕
Since you have been doing this for a while now. I would like to see you do it video on some of the legals. Like what you can and cannot do. And explain some of the terms what it means
@JohnDenver what do you mean exactly?
I like your background
Great content Gillian! I saw another popular you tube video the other day regarding this very topic and they mentioned that when you first start out, you should post 3 videos on your first day (not together obviously but hours apart) as this got the algorithm working quickly. Then start posting one a week as you mentioned. Do you agree with this advice? Thanks for the content!
This is very informative, thanks for the advice, I never planned on making money out of UA-cam, I don't think I could ever do it for a full time job as it would take away the fun/hobby side of creating videos 🤔
Such great content! I have been struggling on what to focus on. I am a photographer/videographer but I also do insurance. I am focused on helping small business grow and protect them! Is it too split if I talk insurance for small businesses and talk about marketing, social media and growing a small business? I’m torn! Thanks for the video!
Gillian, thank you for the information.. hope the new farm and office are meeting your needs..
Do you have a specific formula for constructing your videos??
I see videos that have an intro to the content and then an intro and then the content... and there are other formulas as well... is there one formula that works best??
Have a great day
Thank you for the helpful information! I was wondering if you take a year off UA-cam, do you start over on a new channel or keep posting on the old one? Thank you :)
Personally I’d come back to the old one if it is the same type of video content etc
I’m with, Zoe. I say stick to the channel you have. When l rededicated myself to UA-cam 8/2020. l came back to it publishing videos about online business and was also on the fence about starting from scratch or building from where l left off. Per the advice of UA-cam experts, @gillian included they encouraged me to stick with the same channel. My channel growth has been slow. Leaving me at times wondering if l made the right choice. However, some of my most engaged subscribers today and people who initially subscribed when l first launched the channel years ago talking about life coaching, fitness and motherhood.
Your revenue damn !!!! Well done
I use similar film equipment! What would you say is the most challenging part about creating and growing a YT channel?
Could you share some of the programs you use to edit UA-cam videos based on your experience?
I primarily use Adobe's Premiere Pro and highly recommend it. :)
The link to mic given in the description looks different from the mic you are using in your video. Can you confirm which mic you are using in this video? Also, what do you suggest about collar mics. Ours is a small channel?
I like this
Do you have a video on YT shorts, and how making those compare to full length videos?
Custom URL: You need 100 subs before you can create one. Just in case anyone else spent forever looking for that lol
I’ve had a channel for years and did not know about the link customizations.
I was doing well with my weekly uploads schedule for the first three videos. Then so many things went wrong with my fourth week and lost the footage and now I missed the week. It had me down for a few days, so I gave myself a few days to relax and focus on other aspects of my work. Now, I'm ready to go back at it!!
Been there. Losing footage can be so frustrating! Keep your head up @jonathan and remember UA-cam is a marathon that you run at your own pace. If you have to stop and catch your breathe it’s ok. But then pick yourself and get back after it. Your audience IS searching for you. 😉👍🏻
@@MollyAnnLuna thanks for the encouragement!!!
@@jonathaneduardo7332 of course! We Creators must stick together. 😉👍🏻It can be a rough go and there’s no need to do it alone.
Informative as ever. I'd love to see a deeper look into the actual business end of UA-cam. For example Joe Bloggs UA-cam channel is called Bloggs Blog but does he have to go off and set up Bloggs Blog plc or whatever? How do you switch to having built a channel to earning money and dealing with taxes? You don't do that from the get-go? So something explaining that would be great.
Great question BF Blethering! Your UA-cam Channel name and account name can be different from your business name. If you’re selling products or services then it’s a good idea to set up an LLC. Depending on your state you’re looking at spending $500-$800 to set your LLC up. Typically l recommend waiting until your business is generating revenue before establishing an LLC. I recently published a videos on how to set up your LLC and pay yourself as an LLC business owner l’d be happy to share with you if you’re interested.
@@MollyAnnLuna Thanks, I'll look into that. I'm in the UK and realise there are differences but the general idea will be the same. When I know more I can go off and research. I'll check out that video.
Do you recommend creating a new Google account? Keeping it seperate from you personal/ private account
Hello miss Gillian thanks for everything you have sent taught us but I need your help am a new youtuber and I have a problem with my English language is it okay for me to use my local language and put an English title 🙏🙏🙏
I 100% recommend the workshop Gillian suggested towards the end. It is the besttt practical and really effective ways to get to 1000 subscribers. I'm soon to try it🤩
No links to be found! Great video though, God bless!
I use my iPhone for recording, but now want to add voice over to explain the video.
Is there a way I can do this without my own voice?
I draw and paint and also do music. Would it be much disadvantageous to pose them all on one channel? I feel that the aesthetics are similar and relates between drawing and playing music so I wish I wouldn’t have to separate them.
Consider your ideal viewers. Would they be interested in watching videos about drawing, painting and music? If so, go for it. If you think that only some people might be interested in drawing and others music or painting then perhaps you do consider separating them.
You don’t touch on editing the easiest way. Would it be iMovie for iPhone users
I record my videos using my iPhone and edit many of them iMovie.
Ok..
I need help.
Wish you were here in Oahu to get me started.
i'm working towards 100k 😍
ok fun
If i use english & other language to talk in same channel is that have any bad issue?
Are your ideal viewers bilingual? Or interested in being bilingual. If so then it shouldn’t be a problem. My friend, fitness pro @MassyAries publishes her content in both English and Spanish and she’s built a following of over 2.7M
🌹🌹🌹🌹
Just posted our first UA-cam video!
Wahoo!!
I want to do one where I showed day in the life of a restaurant daughter owner day in the life and show people that where not rich and what goes on our daily lives if that’s interesting?
I think that sounds like a great idea.
@@MollyAnnLuna I feel like I would be able to get millions of view on tik tok rather than UA-cam but I can try to post it on both platforms what do you think?
@@mayrazuniga8421 l depends on your endgame. What action are you wanting your viewers to take next? Or what are you hoping to gain from sharing this? The UA-cam platform is more like library and the video would have a longer shelf life. Where as TikTok you might get a faster response from your viewers, but it’s also a much shorter shelf life. What are your thoughts?
we started making videos for fun but it is true that if they have zero views it demotivates a bit XD
I am glad that I found your channel, now I know what was my mistake. You got +1 and I will follow your advices ☺️🍀
Tips to be a successful UA-camr, miss
Expensive camera to start out ...
I say just use what you have available for now until you get to your first 1,000 subscribers. I have recorded all of my UA-cam videos from my phone with a cheap $20 lapel mic.
He
I love to see women dedicated to thi side hustle lifestyle I might give you a shoutout this Summer on my UA-cam channel. How long would you estimate it took you to get your 1st 100k UA-cam subscribers?
What if your Email and your profile file won't let you create a UA-cam channel? What if your Email and your profile file won't let you create a UA-cam channel???
you need a team to edit your videos?, try doing it yourself it aint that hard.
You are so gorgeous, feels a fallen angel. Reply me I am your die hard fan...
mam couldn't join your workshop because you have not send gmail link
I really don't know what type of UA-cam channel to start but my expertise and specialty is in Irrigation and Sprinkler Systems.
I don't see any real good quality sprinkler channels.
I have made many videos and posted them on my FB page and the community pages in the areas I've worked.
My videos have all been done with my Samsung S8 Plus phone.
I get alot of great reviews and comments and I think i could do a very successful UA-cam Channel
Hey be God news 🎉 Gillian Perkins for Google Ads connect to You Tube channel and I have You Tube channel Journey and Shorts and could I success? Gillian Perkins thanks to you anyways !
