Anyone that has the bravery to present themselves is never a lame. Getting in front of the camera and giving your raw self is difficult but courageous❤️
I love how open she was abt taking 4 years to get to 10k, I feel like everyone talks about how quickly they got where they were so thanks for that👏🏼❤️😍
I almost cried when i watched this video. Seeing someone who overcame discouragement and got results is something i really needed to see today. Thank you Bria
Hey Bria, I have to say that you are an exceptional and inspirational young person. I am 56 and I've been a journalist for almost 20 years. And I say this because I've met a lot of people in my career and you are a great example of how our younger generation are going to bring our world into a fantastic New age. Keep up your wonderful work. Thank you for your inspiration. Your family must be so proud.
Slow growth is definitely underrated and I'm sooooo glad you brought that up and valued it here. Really enjoyed your candid and honest take on growing a channel. Thank you so much for creating this video.
Definitely, the hardest part is starting and growing slowly. We are currently in this 🛶 and journey. Hopefully in 12 months we manifest reaching 10k surpassing to 100k 😍
Girl, just like those other people, I am going to BINGE your content. I have NEVER liked the idea of being a niches UA-camr. Like you said, I am human and I LOVE so many things and live talking about different topics and there was no way in hell I was going to keep myself from talking about everything that I love. I started my channel to inspire moms. I am a teacher, mom of four, Christian, I love books, fitness, self-improvement and I have so many goals! So I share a little bit of all of that. I am growing, veeeeerrrrrrryyyyyyy slow, but like Bishop T.D. Jakes said, “I’m in it for the impact and not to be famous.” ❤️ Thank you for your valuable content. This was my first video and now you have a dedicated follower. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏🏻❤️🫶🏻 Wishing you all the best in years to come.
I love that you’re telling us that it’s about your personality and not a specific niche! I’ve always wanted to start out with social media but as you’ve said I felt like it was so restrictive and there’s not just one thing that I want to do. I want to show all of myself so that’s what I’m gonna do in 2023 🎉
Bria, you have no idea how much I needed this video. I recently quit my job after 2 years of working there in the hopes I would break through with my youtube/social media career. I had to quit my job because I was absolutely miserable and my mental health was really struggling. I decided to persuade youtube in the hopes of making it out there. I have been putting so much work in lately. I upload every single day and I try to reply to every comment, but not much is happening...Your words of encouragement really made my day and fueled me with new motivation! I know I’m gonna make it. I just need to keep believing. After all it’s just a keep of faith ❤️ thank you!
I envy people in 1st world countries because wdym you resigned from your job to start a UA-cam channel? How are you going to eat? Where do you live? So many questionssss
I agree with you 1000% on the "niche" vs authenticity. I was aiming for a niche but then realized I didn't want to get stuck or become bored within a specific market I don't care much about. Boxing myself in was not an option.
This video came at the absolute best time! THANK YOU! I have been so frustrated recently driving myself crazy trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong. “It’s easy to go viral it’s difficult to sustain it” really hit home for me.
Loved, loved, LOVED, your video! Thank you for your advice. I'm probably a year late, but glad I found you! Your tips are golden. I've informed my SM manager to add a playlist to my review stream today because of You. I needed to hear how important it is to be ME first on my vids! All the fears of a newbie you mentioned were dead on! I love your story! A huge light to me was responding, and the appreciation of comments to my videos! You're dead on that peeps will actually tell you what they want from you. This aspect is probably the most rewarding gift from viewers I've received. Keep soaring! You rock!
Small black content creators such as myself seriously appreciate you, Bria. I not only use your videos as great advice to apply towards my videos, but the very fact alone to finally be able to relate to somebody that looks and sounds like me is monumental. Keep posting and growing girl! Wishing you nothing but the biggest blessings.💛 Update January 2nd: Thank you all so very much for the new subscriptions and support! I have so much new and exciting content coming for you all! I wish nothing but success and good blessings to all of you! Have an amazing New Years guys.🤍
Yoooo this is RIGHT ON TIME!!!! I literally have been contemplating giving up for these same reasons! Thank you for being you, so glad I was referred to this channel.
Wow, I really needed to hear this… especially since I feel like my channel is stagnant right now. Thanks for making a video that is TRANSPARENT! Will keep this all in mind going forward ! Much love !!❤️❤️
"be thankful for the quiet" is so underrated cause you can use that advice for so many things in life. You are definitely bestie material wish i had a friend like you by my self ❤
Dang girl, I've been doing this for 10 years, and I got so inspired again with your fresh vibes!!! The note about viral is so important. I always wanted to go viral until I saw OG UA-camrs, with millions of subs, who couldn't event get 25K views. Many people don't understand that subs don't guarantee views, and the quiet times as you describe it prepare you on how to make actually "watchable" content. This way when you grow, you sustain the views. LOVE the tips of scheduling shorts and going live, I seriously need to get on that.
This is my first time stumbling across one of your videos and as a UA-camr who’s trying to grow my channel it can get very discouraging at times to stay consistent and keep going no matter what esp as a mom but I have been focusing on posting with purpose. I’m definitely grateful for content creators like you who tell us valuable info like this and I love how you keep it real. I am also inspired to keep going and not give up on myself this year so this was a sign from God and definitely the motivation I needed for 2023. Thanks so much for sharing and of course I subscribed! Stay blessed and keep being great beautiful!! ❤🙏🏽💯🥹
This is so encouraging!! I’ve been at around 8,000 for a while now and I’m ready to take it to the next level! Thanks so much Bria. Especially for the inconsistency tidbit 🙏🏽
This is so inspiring. I totally agree with not niching down. I niched down for YEARS and I kept failing - I kept becoming burnt out and wasn't having fun with my content. I felt like I was someone else. But now I've began making videos for myself on TikTok and UA-cam and although I'm not seeing the growth, it's more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing this and giving the real tea on growth. I've wanted to do UA-cam and just make videos since I was 8... I am turning 25 in a few months. I cry thinking about letting my younger self down but not anymore! I hoping that in the next two years, I can do this full time. GO BRIA!!!!!
Congratulations on your success. I’m 51 years old and decided to go and start a channel two months ago because I love the hobby that I make videos about and was looking for a place to share what I love. I started scared and taught myself how to edit videos. Although I’m still very tiny, this was very inspiring. I hope that when I get demotivated, I’ll come back to this and push on. You have a new subscriber here and I’ll be binging you. I wish you continued success.
Great content Bria, However I noticed that lof UA-camrs are saying that starting a brand new channel will be difficult\saturated because they don't want you to take a piece of the cake. It is not saturated and NOT even close to be. There's always a room for new creators. I started my YT journey a year ago and already crossed 85k\month with two major channels. However I noticed everyone are just keeping the real methods to themselves. I realized that after reading an eBook. No one is talking on how to outrank competitor videos which is one of the most important things, how to gain exposure and additional traffic outside YT, how to do proper off site SEO etc etc...
I am glad to hear about your success! Do you mind to share the name of the book? 2) Does it possible to rank a video with CTR manipulation with real users? (no bots).
This is gold guys! I just started a new channel and have experienced everything she’s saying and couldn’t agree more. Thanks for sharing sis, I finally subscribed. Not sure what took me so long. Excited to see your 1 Million subscriber video! ❤️
You're right , there is so much more to becoming successful on YT. Congratulations Bria !! I get down too , I have over 500 videos, I've made a lot of them private now, because my videos were all over the place. One thing for sure , having a niche in the beginning is very imperative . Now, I am sticking with it but it's tough because I have so many interest. I'm sure many in the comments can relate. Go girl !!!
Phenomenal video. As a starting out youtuber that decided this year to "take content seriously" this is a huge boost to my confidence and is helping me get past the hump of disappointment. Thank you!
I started my channel last month after years of doubting myself and so much of what you said in this video was so relatable and encouraging at the same time. Thank you Bria!
This is great content. You’re the first person I watched who talked about growth on UA-cam who said “Post what you love”. There is a crowd or group for everyone. Thank you SO much for the motivation! Blessings for 2023!
The thing that I love the most about you is that your honest and you speak to the girls in a relatable way. A lot of times on social media people wanna act like they have a one up on you and it’s sooo corny. This space feels so safe. Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I love when people get paid for their hard work. Even though I don't consider myself a beginner anymore, I still remember getting started. It was a tough journey. Of course, things are a lot easier now and I'm super grateful that I didn't give up and stayed patient all the way through. Consistency and hard work (and a little bit of Famester as well) made it possible for me, and I hope this could help everybody else as well.
I 100% needed to hear what you said about niches! Just earlier today I was talking to friends about how I always hear about needing to "niche down" and how my channel is not that at all - because I want to make the videos I want to make and am excited about and not be stuck in a box. Thank you for helping me feel validated on my decision.
Ah, this video is exactly what I needed to see. The part about boxing yourself in with a niche 🙌🏼🙏🏼😌 I’ve been refusing to find a niche, I like doing too many things and it gives me anxiety and makes the burnout come so much faster when I try to put that pressure on myself.
Thank you for the tips. I will start adding playlist now at the end of my videos instead of just a video. That is my top tip to take away apart from being myself and consistency
your journey, and your personality + transparency continue to inspire me. Like truly. You make it feel as though the rest of us can do it to, and it's not the same age old "tips" we've been fed. I remember randomly finding you a few days before five am february started and it's been crazy to see you BLOSSOM right before my eyes, I was like woah and you stayed genuinely the same person 🥰
Every time I get down about my views I come to this video for that extra push. Consistency is definitely key. I haven’t been as consistent but in the new year I’ll be crushing all my goals. I have faith that it’ll all work out. Thank you for the motivation ❤
Ive had my channel since August and would absolutely Love to grow - although putting out videos then getting hardly any traction is disheartening. Thankyou for your encouraging words! We’ve got this 2023!
Thank you so much for posting this! I just started my journey with my UA-cam channel and so much of this resonated with me. It’s so clear that you care about your community and those watching your videos and it means so much!! Thanks for the advice!
I found you a few minutes ago and I needed this! Thank you for this video today (6th of October 2023) I have not posted for a while because of many of the things you highlighted in this video. I feel like you are in my head literally! The mood of the points you have made is on point. I have not posted for a while until a few days after I decided to show up and this video popped up.- I have a lot of work to do so here I go. I have joined the community.💃💃
Bria - this video could not have come at a better time! I've been binging a lot of "youtube growth" videos to see how I can move differently in 2023 & I agree with you - there's so much generic and outdated advice! Thanks for keeping it real as always & have a wonderful holiday & happy New year✨
Yesss last year I was doing the same thing, but then realized that it was the same glossed over advice that's not really specific and makes you feel like even though you're doing the things they say "why isn't it working.." This year I'm looking at things with a different strategy to truly push myself, & being free of consuming advice that won't help
I’ve been on a UA-cam hiatus and I literally just started watching today again… let me just say I’ve been in your channel only today and I’m so glad. Was having a dip in confidence and fell out of consistency with my tiktok and Instagram because I wasn’t getting the growth I was aiming for, but I needed to hear this. Thank you 🙏🏼
You made some great points in your video. I liked when you mentioned that anyone can go viral but they can’t sustain it. By continuing to be consistent your practicing and perfecting your craft. That was a perspective I havnt heard before and definitely going to take in. Thank you so much!
Hey Bria, I've had a channel for about 2 years and have a lot of the same issues you discussed in the video. I can relate to a lot of your comments! Many thanks and really enjoyed the video! Best, Greg
Girl I agree about niche!!!!!!!!! I believe in uploading what I like or what I am feeling in that moment. Thank you for this, I am just getting back to UA-cam-ing after a 2 year break (inability to edit) & I have been feeling down about it because I am not sure how to grow from 15k to my goal but this video has helped so much! Love from 🇰🇪
I love your comment cos this was me! I was away for about 3 years(pregnancy,baby, issue with editing); finally I learnt to do the editing myself (atleast the basics for now) and since last month, i've resumed back uploading and doing my thang! So go go go girl!
I got frustrated and deleted my first channel which I regret since I could have kept it to gain some views over the year.. But here I am.. Trying again.. Hoping for the best
Thank you, this was incredibly helpful! And for you guys that are watching with me, I hope your channel grows fast ! We are in this together. NEVER GIVE UP!
I just started my UA-cam journey and listening to you gives me a lot of encouragement. I know I can achieve those goals I set for myself, and even if it doesn't come fast, all I need is consistency. Thanks, Bria.
Girly I love this video! An Im so happy you touched on shorts because I was wondering. You rock and you randomly came across your channel thank you for the motivation
As someone who very recently started creating UA-cam videos, and was tired of hearing the same tips over and over again. This was a breath of fresh air. Thank you 🤩
Thank you for this Bria! I’m experiencing this right now, and I refuse to accept that I could be missing out if I give up on myself. Much love to everyone out here doing the same ❤️
You literally have to envision the life you want. Think about who you want to be and the things you want to accomplish daily. AND BELIEVE IT!! Those thoughts will come to fruition. I agree with you 100 Percent 💯
Thank you for reaffirming what I’ve been doing from the start of my UA-cam channel this year. For a while in the beginning of my videos, I felt like the odd one because though all the advice is out there on “How To” do a UA-cam channel, it didn’t feel like me. I didn’t start with a “niche”, I just started with me and what I felt comfortable sharing. I have 70 quality subscribers to date and I have no doubt they’re here because they accept me and my philosophy of life. I appreciate the tips, I’m definitely going to lean into them and work on continuing to growing as a person and content creator ❤
Wow! This video was so inspiring & motivating. I personally tried UA-cam back in 2016 and didn't really have the mental space or time. I am back now ,& slowly but steadily want to continue this journey. If anyone is reading this, listen to her, she's actually talking sensible & logical stuff. All the best, hope you all become successful in whatever you want to do in life. Have an amazing day & all the best! Finally, thank you Bria! 😁
You go Bria….. That was raw and real…. and it takes a lot to put yourself out there. I stumbled upon you by accident but you definitely have a new sub now.. I will be passing your video on to my daughters because I appreciate your vulnerability which is not often seen on here, plus it takes nothing to support others especially when it’s Real Talk… Keep striving and thriving… You got the wheels turning in my head, so it’s just a matter of time…😉
OMG! This video was made for me.✨✨I’ve been debating if I edit an already filmed video or not since I WAS a little down but girl, thank you for this video. I am already editing the video and I’ll keep going. The niche thing was the one that gotten me stressed and feeling down since I like to film everything and not necessarily just videos about 1 theme. Again, thank you sooooooo much.
I was on a verge to delete my main channel which now has over 200k subs because I was so much struggling in the beggining. Luckily I discovered Famester and gave my self a little push in terms of subscribers. After that my I was getting so much organic traffic. Channel just exploded.
I knew once i saw this title in my recommended and i saw your face i'm like she's actually about to give us TEA because she ALWAYS keeps it real in her videos. Congrats Bria 🎉💙
Bria you’re truly amazing and you inspire and motivate me to get serious about UA-cam. I’m praying 2023 is the year for growth. Thank you so much girly ❤❤❤
I really appreciated the encouraging words! I started a little over a month ago and i’ve found myself already having that “embarrassing” feeling at times but this was definitely helpful ❤
Just the first section of this video was all I needed to hear, going from growing to hitting this wall was such a depressing moment 😭 but seeing you say don’t give up on yourself really hit
It’s so validating and encouraging to hear your thoughts on finding a niche. There are so many things that interest me and really, in the grand scheme of things, I want my channel to be a place to just hang out and chat with the tribe/family we’ve created there no matter what the topic is or the video is about. Sometimes I feel like I need to make it all make sense but this year I was like eff it…I’m going to post whatever I enjoy filming and talking about or feel like sharing and those who are about it will come and enjoy it with me and those who need a niche or need more can find it elsewhere. Loved how you broke this down and reflected on how it all applied to you and your journey. So happy to see your success and wish you so much more growth and incredible experiences in the future !! ❤️🤗 Happy New Year! 🎉
You hit the nail on the head. I feel the same way you do. I will speak about whatever is real to me and those who need a niche can find it elsewhere. Love it
I think you finally gave me the courage to start my own channel. I’ve been thinking and talking about it but I was too scared to do it until I watched your video. Thank you so much❤
I love that you did this for the small content creators that are constantly thinking of giving up. You are proof that things can work out if you have the right mindset and approach. I'm at 430 subbies hoping to get to 500 by Jan 1st. Wish me luck 🤞
Yasss you’re so inspirational. I started following you earlier this year and watched you blow up I was so amazed 😊 🙌🏾. You definitely deserve it Bria ❤.
Hi Bria, I came across your video and really enjoyed it. I completely agree with you about the value of having a smaller number of dedicated subscribers rather than a large number of unengaged followers. I've only had my channel for a month now, and I'm so grateful for every view I get, even if it's just a few. It's like having a small group of people in my living room, listening to what I have to say 😝 Quality is definitely more important than quantity! Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see you reach the 1 million subscriber mark! ☘
Thanks Bria! I have been really discouraged in UA-cam and gave up. But I’ve been thinking about starting up again and this just gave me a lot of motivation. I don’t need to do it for subscribers. I can do it because I like to!
Briaaa, girl!!! thank you so much!!! it means a lot to see this video, especially to a small and growing channel like mine. numbers can messed you up sometimes, but I think I agree with what you said and a firm believer of imagine it in your mind and make it happen. thank you so much!!!! xx
Thank you for clarifying why consistency is so important! It's important to be consistent with a posting schedule AND consistent in incrementally improving your content. ❤
Thank you for this! Literally every single point was so valuable. I just started my channel recently but I'm so excited for this journey! I can't wait to follow you as you go on yours
Yeah I'm at the part right now of feeling embarrassed and asking why I'm doing this and my mom is definitely my only cheerleader😂 thanks for putting this together, definitely gave me some tangible things to start doing which I appreciate! Plus the much needed encouragement lol
My mom told me "you're a professional, you can get a real job." She doesn't understand, and neither does anyone else that putting in those 15-20 hour days with little return (so far). But it's what makes it that much sweeter when you finally do win. No one ever said it would be easy, in fact, it should be hard, otherwise everyone would do it.
Bria Congratulations 🎉 on your You Tube SUCCESS. Thank you for taking the time to post this original advice because that is what makes your channel unique. What you’ve learned and shared will make this journey easier for others who are struggling with their mission. May you have continued success in your online endeavors. Know that we are watching You, God Bless, Bria. 😊

honestly the opening of you talking about almost giving up on yourself made me tear up! Thank you! I needed to hear this! 💗💗
This was recommended to me and it was right on timeeeee. This is so different than the generic advice we hear and I appreciate it sooo much
This is so inspiring. I totally agree with not niching down. I niched down for YEARS and I kept failing - I kept becoming burnt out and wasn't having fun with my content. I felt like I was someone else. But now I've began making videos for myself on TikTok and UA-cam and although I'm not seeing the growth, it's more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing this and giving the real tea on growth. I've wanted to do UA-cam and just make videos since I was 8... I am turning 25 in a few months. I cry thinking about letting my younger self down but not anymore! I hoping that in the next two years, I can do this full time. GO BRIA!!!!!
Keep pushing
Same things happened to me 😢❤now I'm in right path ❤keep supporting 🙏
Congratulations on your success. I’m 51 years old and decided to go and start a channel two months ago because I love the hobby that I make videos about and was looking for a place to share what I love. I started scared and taught myself how to edit videos. Although I’m still very tiny, this was very inspiring. I hope that when I get demotivated, I’ll come back to this and push on.
You have a new subscriber here and I’ll be binging you. I wish you continued success.
Congratulations on going for what's important to you! It's never too late to start.
Nice to see another 51+!
I just turned 54! Time flies. Keep going!
@@digdeeptarotbyveda me too ,last Friday!
@@Autodidactic9105 happy birthday!
Great content Bria, However I noticed that lof UA-camrs are saying that starting a brand new channel will be difficult\saturated because they don't want you to take a piece of the cake. It is not saturated and NOT even close to be. There's always a room for new creators. I started my YT journey a year ago and already crossed 85k\month with two major channels. However I noticed everyone are just keeping the real methods to themselves. I realized that after reading an eBook. No one is talking on how to outrank competitor videos which is one of the most important things, how to gain exposure and additional traffic outside YT, how to do proper off site SEO etc etc...
I am glad to hear about your success! Do you mind to share the name of the book?
2) Does it possible to rank a video with CTR manipulation with real users? (no bots).
@@danielrony4169 Yes, it is possible with getting a few REAL people. Then you can definitely rank.
@@alexandergoldberg5375 thanks! and the book name please? :D
@@danielrony4169 YTalgoexposed
That's the site name as well ^
I agree 100% with your point on consistency Bria. Content creation is craft, and consistency allows us to master that craft!
This is gold guys! I just started a new channel and have experienced everything she’s saying and couldn’t agree more. Thanks for sharing sis, I finally subscribed. Not sure what took me so long. Excited to see your 1 Million subscriber video! ❤️
You're right , there is so much more to becoming successful on YT. Congratulations Bria !! I get down too , I have over 500 videos, I've made a lot of them private now, because my videos were all over the place. One thing for sure , having a niche in the beginning is very imperative . Now, I am sticking with it but it's tough because I have so many interest. I'm sure many in the comments can relate. Go girl !!!
Phenomenal video. As a starting out youtuber that decided this year to "take content seriously" this is a huge boost to my confidence and is helping me get past the hump of disappointment. Thank you!
I started my channel last month after years of doubting myself and so much of what you said in this video was so relatable and encouraging at the same time. Thank you Bria!
❤❤❤
Exact same situation for me! ❤
Me too finally after months of contemplating 😢
Congratulations! Great job in taking the plunge and believing in what you are capable of.
Congratulations 🎉 2023 will be much success. God’s timing!
This is great content. You’re the first person I watched who talked about growth on UA-cam who said “Post what you love”. There is a crowd or group for everyone. Thank you SO much for the motivation! Blessings for 2023!
The thing that I love the most about you is that your honest and you speak to the girls in a relatable way. A lot of times on social media people wanna act like they have a one up on you and it’s sooo corny. This space feels so safe. Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤

Thank you so much for this video. I love when people get paid for their hard work. Even though I don't consider myself a beginner anymore, I still remember getting started. It was a tough journey. Of course, things are a lot easier now and I'm super grateful that I didn't give up and stayed patient all the way through. Consistency and hard work (and a little bit of Famester as well) made it possible for me, and I hope this could help everybody else as well.
Thanks for the tips, I checked that website and it seems great on the first glance.
I 100% needed to hear what you said about niches! Just earlier today I was talking to friends about how I always hear about needing to "niche down" and how my channel is not that at all - because I want to make the videos I want to make and am excited about and not be stuck in a box. Thank you for helping me feel validated on my decision.
the niche thing, is very discouraging😢 it’s a dark closet 😊
Your authenticity really shines through in this video! So much respect for your entire journey! 1M incoming :)
She is a good actress.
❤
Ah, this video is exactly what I needed to see. The part about boxing yourself in with a niche 🙌🏼🙏🏼😌 I’ve been refusing to find a niche, I like doing too many things and it gives me anxiety and makes the burnout come so much faster when I try to put that pressure on myself.
Thank you for the tips. I will start adding playlist now at the end of my videos instead of just a video. That is my top tip to take away apart from being myself and consistency
your journey, and your personality + transparency continue to inspire me. Like truly. You make it feel as though the rest of us can do it to, and it's not the same age old "tips" we've been fed.
I remember randomly finding you a few days before five am february started and it's been crazy to see you BLOSSOM right before my eyes, I was like woah and you stayed genuinely the same person 🥰
Every time I get down about my views I come to this video for that extra push. Consistency is definitely key. I haven’t been as consistent but in the new year I’ll be crushing all my goals. I have faith that it’ll all work out. Thank you for the motivation ❤

Ive had my channel since August and would absolutely Love to grow - although putting out videos then getting hardly any traction is disheartening. Thankyou for your encouraging words! We’ve got this 2023!
Man, you've got me so pumped! Thanks so much for your wisdom & transparency! I feel like going on! Keep it up!🤗💓👍🏾
Thank you so much for posting this! I just started my journey with my UA-cam channel and so much of this resonated with me. It’s so clear that you care about your community and those watching your videos and it means so much!! Thanks for the advice!
Coming from someone who has 50 subscribers since starting my channel a year ago… I so NEEDED to hear this 🥹 thank you Bria 🙏🏾💕
All thing you need is one vid goin viral
@@flyylegacy thank you 💕
I’m only 4 minutes in & already fighting back tears. Thank you for this video, extremely authentic 💕
I found you a few minutes ago and I needed this! Thank you for this video today (6th of October 2023) I have not posted for a while because of many of the things you highlighted in this video. I feel like you are in my head literally! The mood of the points you have made is on point. I have not posted for a while until a few days after I decided to show up and this video popped up.- I have a lot of work to do so here I go. I have joined the community.💃💃
Bria - this video could not have come at a better time! I've been binging a lot of "youtube growth" videos to see how I can move differently in 2023 & I agree with you - there's so much generic and outdated advice! Thanks for keeping it real as always & have a wonderful holiday & happy New year✨
Yesss last year I was doing the same thing, but then realized that it was the same glossed over advice that's not really specific and makes you feel like even though you're doing the things they say "why isn't it working.."
This year I'm looking at things with a different strategy to truly push myself, & being free of consuming advice that won't help
For me it’s tough to find me after the divorce and figure out which direction I want to go in
Girl....this video was everything I needed and more! You are a total boss and I'm here for it! Thanks for all the tips! 🙌
Thank you so much for being honest and transparent because you just don't know how much I needed that!
I’ve been on a UA-cam hiatus and I literally just started watching today again… let me just say I’ve been in your channel only today and I’m so glad. Was having a dip in confidence and fell out of consistency with my tiktok and Instagram because I wasn’t getting the growth I was aiming for, but I needed to hear this. Thank you 🙏🏼
You made some great points in your video. I liked when you mentioned that anyone can go viral but they can’t sustain it. By continuing to be consistent your practicing and perfecting your craft. That was a perspective I havnt heard before and definitely going to take in. Thank you so much!
Hey Bria, I've had a channel for about 2 years and have a lot of the same issues you discussed in the video. I can relate to a lot of your comments! Many thanks and really enjoyed the video! Best, Greg
Girl I agree about niche!!!!!!!!! I believe in uploading what I like or what I am feeling in that moment. Thank you for this, I am just getting back to UA-cam-ing after a 2 year break (inability to edit) & I have been feeling down about it because I am not sure how to grow from 15k to my goal but this video has helped so much! Love from 🇰🇪
I love your comment cos this was me! I was away for about 3 years(pregnancy,baby, issue with editing); finally I learnt to do the editing myself (atleast the basics for now) and since last month, i've resumed back uploading and doing my thang! So go go go girl!
This is exactly what happened to me I’m an overthinker
I got frustrated and deleted my first channel which I regret since I could have kept it to gain some views over the year.. But here I am.. Trying again.. Hoping for the best
Thank you, this was incredibly helpful! And for you guys that are watching with me, I hope your channel grows fast ! We are in this together. NEVER GIVE UP!
I just started my UA-cam journey and listening to you gives me a lot of encouragement. I know I can achieve those goals I set for myself, and even if it doesn't come fast, all I need is consistency.
Thanks, Bria.
Really appreciate
@Nisha's Stew do the same
Happy growing 🤗
❤ You got this. Just subscribed.
Girl! I really needed to hear this. I feel this in my soul!
It's so great to see how much you've grown on UA-cam and the impact that it's had on your life.
ua-cam.com/video/0CqQ00xE-j0/v-deo.html
I know right!
Bria I think you’re a jem. Your personality is out of this world and very happy for you stayed strong and didn’t give up. Keep on rocking
It's refreshing to see someone who talks more about the difficulties in the beginning of starting with youtube and focusing more on the personality 🥰
Girl I literally just hit 10 thousand on my channel so this really hit home for me ❤thank u
This comment just gave me life. Congratulations love! You got a new subscriber ❤️
Congrats Maddie!!!
Congratulations! I’m waiting patiently 🎉
❤❤❤
That’s amazing! Congratulations 🥳🥰
Very inspiring - I've watched this 5 times thus far and taken lots of notes to improve my channel. Thanks Bria x
Girly I love this video! An Im so happy you touched on shorts because I was wondering. You rock and you randomly came across your channel thank you for the motivation
As someone who very recently started creating UA-cam videos, and was tired of hearing the same tips over and over again. This was a breath of fresh air. Thank you 🤩
Thank you for this Bria! I’m experiencing this right now, and I refuse to accept that I could be missing out if I give up on myself. Much love to everyone out here doing the same ❤️
Hi Lauren can we connect!
@@afriusfamily74 hi, yes we can!

Cheers to us 🥂 we’re doing it, we got this 💯
You literally have to envision the life you want. Think about who you want to be and the things you want to accomplish daily. AND BELIEVE IT!! Those thoughts will come to fruition. I agree with you 100 Percent 💯
thank you! so happy for you for not giving up ♥️ congrats
Thank you for reaffirming what I’ve been doing from the start of my UA-cam channel this year. For a while in the beginning of my videos, I felt like the odd one because though all the advice is out there on “How To” do a UA-cam channel, it didn’t feel like me. I didn’t start with a “niche”, I just started with me and what I felt comfortable sharing. I have 70 quality subscribers to date and I have no doubt they’re here because they accept me and my philosophy of life. I appreciate the tips, I’m definitely going to lean into them and work on continuing to growing as a person and content creator ❤
Wow! This video was so inspiring & motivating. I personally tried UA-cam back in 2016 and didn't really have the mental space or time. I am back now ,& slowly but steadily want to continue this journey. If anyone is reading this, listen to her, she's actually talking sensible & logical stuff. All the best, hope you all become successful in whatever you want to do in life. Have an amazing day & all the best! Finally, thank you Bria! 😁
You go Bria….. That was raw and real…. and it takes a lot to put yourself out there. I stumbled upon you by accident but you definitely have a new sub now.. I will be passing your video on to my daughters because I appreciate your vulnerability which is not often seen on here, plus it takes nothing to support others especially when it’s Real Talk… Keep striving and thriving… You got the wheels turning in my head, so it’s just a matter of time…😉
OMG! This video was made for me.✨✨I’ve been debating if I edit an already filmed video or not since I WAS a little down but girl, thank you for this video. I am already editing the video and I’ll keep going. The niche thing was the one that gotten me stressed and feeling down since I like to film everything and not necessarily just videos about 1 theme.
Again, thank you sooooooo much.
I edited my first video today and it took about a few hours😅
Love your realness, your energy and you are not shy. Great inspiration for this gal
Bria, this video was so valuable for me. Thank you so much for continuing your journey, and congratulations on all you’ve accomplished!
I was on a verge to delete my main channel which now has over 200k subs because I was so much struggling in the beggining. Luckily I discovered Famester and gave my self a little push in terms of subscribers. After that my I was getting so much organic traffic. Channel just exploded.
You have 15 subs??
This is so insightful and encouraging. Congrats on hitting 200k 🎉♥️
I literally loved this video! It's very uncomfortable to put yourself out there, but it's so worth it. You did a great job, my congratulations! ❤
I knew once i saw this title in my recommended and i saw your face i'm like she's actually about to give us TEA because she ALWAYS keeps it real in her videos. Congrats Bria 🎉💙
yesss I thought the exact same thing!! lol
She stays keeping it real!! 💕✨🫶🏽
such a dope video....I totally agree.
She said it all and she was so truthful ❤
Girl you are so real! ♡ I just came across your channel and I'm obsessed. This was so helpful to someone trying to build there channel. Thank you!!!
Bria you’re truly amazing and you inspire and motivate me to get serious about UA-cam. I’m praying 2023 is the year for growth. Thank you so much girly ❤❤❤
Omg! I needed to hear this. You’re on point. Thank you for this X
I really appreciated the encouraging words! I started a little over a month ago and i’ve found myself already having that “embarrassing” feeling at times but this was definitely helpful ❤
I feel like this sometimes too 5 months in!
Just the first section of this video was all I needed to hear, going from growing to hitting this wall was such a depressing moment 😭 but seeing you say don’t give up on yourself really hit
It’s so validating and encouraging to hear your thoughts on finding a niche. There are so many things that interest me and really, in the grand scheme of things, I want my channel to be a place to just hang out and chat with the tribe/family we’ve created there no matter what the topic is or the video is about. Sometimes I feel like I need to make it all make sense but this year I was like eff it…I’m going to post whatever I enjoy filming and talking about or feel like sharing and those who are about it will come and enjoy it with me and those who need a niche or need more can find it elsewhere.
Loved how you broke this down and reflected on how it all applied to you and your journey. So happy to see your success and wish you so much more growth and incredible experiences in the future !! ❤️🤗 Happy New Year! 🎉
You hit the nail on the head. I feel the same way you do. I will speak about whatever is real to me and those who need a niche can find it elsewhere. Love it
I think you finally gave me the courage to start my own channel. I’ve been thinking and talking about it but I was too scared to do it until I watched your video. Thank you so much❤
I love that you did this for the small content creators that are constantly thinking of giving up. You are proof that things can work out if you have the right mindset and approach. I'm at 430 subbies hoping to get to 500 by Jan 1st. Wish me luck 🤞
Good luck love! I too battle with this whole youtube creating but im on it 2023! You got a new subscriber.
@@VanityTableTalk thanks hun. I wanna be on your journey too. Gonna subscribe right neow!

Yasss you’re so inspirational. I started following you earlier this year and watched you blow up I was so amazed 😊 🙌🏾. You definitely deserve it Bria ❤.
Thank you so much! So thankful for all of you 🤍
@@BriaJonesdid you delete your influencer video
Hi Bria, I came across your video and really enjoyed it. I completely agree with you about the value of having a smaller number of dedicated subscribers rather than a large number of unengaged followers. I've only had my channel for a month now, and I'm so grateful for every view I get, even if it's just a few. It's like having a small group of people in my living room, listening to what I have to say 😝 Quality is definitely more important than quantity! Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see you reach the 1 million subscriber mark! ☘
Needed to hear this. Thank you❤
Thanks Bria! I have been really discouraged in UA-cam and gave up. But I’ve been thinking about starting up again and this just gave me a lot of motivation. I don’t need to do it for subscribers. I can do it because I like to!
This is hands down the best advice on starting a UA-cam channel! Thank you Bria! Let's all get it in 2023 Queens! 😍🙌🏻💞
Yes jackie!! Let's get it baby! 2023! You have a new subscriber!
@@VanityTableTalk Thank you so much beautiful lady! Let's get it Queen!! 😍💞✨
Briaaa, girl!!! thank you so much!!! it means a lot to see this video, especially to a small and growing channel like mine. numbers can messed you up sometimes, but I think I agree with what you said and a firm believer of imagine it in your mind and make it happen. thank you so much!!!! xx
Thank you for clarifying why consistency is so important! It's important to be consistent with a posting schedule AND consistent in incrementally improving your content. ❤
Thank you for this! Literally every single point was so valuable. I just started my channel recently but I'm so excited for this journey! I can't wait to follow you as you go on yours
Yeah I'm at the part right now of feeling embarrassed and asking why I'm doing this and my mom is definitely my only cheerleader😂 thanks for putting this together, definitely gave me some tangible things to start doing which I appreciate! Plus the much needed encouragement lol
My mom told me "you're a professional, you can get a real job." She doesn't understand, and neither does anyone else that putting in those 15-20 hour days with little return (so far). But it's what makes it that much sweeter when you finally do win. No one ever said it would be easy, in fact, it should be hard, otherwise everyone would do it.
Don’t give up! Keep pushing.
Moms are awesome!
Don't be embarrassed. Taking chances takes courage and you never wanna live with what if 💙
My Mum is also my greatest cheerleader, her excitement keeps me motivated 🥰
GIRL, YES! The consistency part….thank you for sharing. So many helpful tips and truth in this!
❤❤
Your points about consistency is so important. It’s so true growing like a snail reaches you and takes pressure of. Well done
Congratulations Bria 🎉✨🤗🌻 Thank you for sharing and inspiring us 💕😊
You’re funny and this is so so helpful, I appreciate the honesty girl and hope you continue to grow💗
Being delusional is me this year! Love this so much you’re so inspirational
