I always tell everyone that it’s never to late to start something new! If you feel called to share what you love with the world, than do it! ❤️ With hard work, passion and dedication, it will pay off in the end! 😊
There’s been a huge influx of celebrity channels lately that to me seems so unfair to those starting out or trying to grow. It’s like there’s a celebrity take-over happening. But I still think there’s room for everyone. It’s just annoying when you see people who are already rich and have a huge following start doing youtube. But I get it. They’re going with the changing market. 🙄 My best advice is to start off with a narrow niche then broaden it. I have a channel that mostly focuses on fashion but I’m slowly incorporating other things as I grow. But I’m still staying mostly focused on fashion. I just hit 10k.
Celebrity has spent their time building their influence, where as someone who just starts a channel needs to built their audience over time. It seems unfair but comparing a smaller or new UA-cam channel to a celebrity who started one.
Everyone who clicked on this video deep down actually wants to be a UA-camr so go on, do it guys. I am still in the starting stages of my channel and don't earn any revenue yet , it still is so much fun!💙
I finally decided to give my channel a chance last year and it's been hard so far! It's quite 'demoralising' when you stay in the same place for long but I keep doing my best. Currently at 2k subscribers. Hope to grow more the remaining bits of this year. Thanks for your great points and encouragement always.
TheStyleSystem omg thats amazing!! Congrats! I just started my channel and It will be amazing to get to where u are now. Enjoy every single step and cherish the milestones!!! Xo Marci
well, GILLIAN PERKINS, I have to say thank you an advance. I stumbled upon your web site for advice, and so far this has been the most straight forward, and easy to understand. I wish I had a coach for everything in life, I have a lot to learn and look forward to see where I can get as a new channel!! Now I have to figure out how to make a web site......
It is never too late to start something you really enjoy. For me UA-cam is like blogging where it's a hobby I thoroughly enjoy but I really don't expect to make a living off of it. I think that's sailed for most people but hey we can still all support each other in our creative hobbies ❤️ and it's good to remember that everyone started out small too! Just like us ☺️
I can't tell you HOW MANY of these videos I've been watching lately (even though I've already started my channel...) haha but you're the only person who has really talked about how long it can take for a video to be picked up by the algorithm due to figuring out your audience. That was exactly what I've been searching for. Thanks for mentioning that! So so helpful. :)
Interesting topic. I've thought about starting a UA-cam channel for years, but I doubt I'd ever do it. Just because I don't have anything I can think of as a main focus. Good points in the video though. Very helpful info, as always.
Hi Gilian, Just wanted to say that i love your videos, they are soo easy to follow and straoght to the point. Thanks for helping me growing as i launch my youtube channel.
Gillian Perkins is definitely one of the best at what she does and she’s inspired me so much. Finally, I’m starting my UA-cam channel because of her and I’d be uploading my first content in 2 days. Please subscribe to my channel to support me. Thank you all. Keep watching Gillian, we’ve got more to learn.
Hi Gillian, I was thinking of holding off some of my better tutorial ideas until the algorithm had an idea of my audience but after hearing what you said about months later the video took off, maybe I don't need to plan things out so religiously. I was worried some of my better content would get buried at the start. Thanks for answering that for me! I just post my first tutorial last week, it's slow going but planning to stick with it.
Yes, UA-cam takes alot of patience, hard work, and dedication! But it is really fun when you love your niche. 💕Thank you for the tips and motivation, love your videos Gillian! 😊
I always watch your videos to get inspired and encouraged with my channel. Just started last 2 weeks ago and hit 100 subs ❤ Continue to inspire others!
Yey! thanks for the wonderful advices. I just started posting videos because of quarantine . I am hesitant at first but I did it anyways and hopefully I can post more unique and positive content 😘
Your office looks great! Love all of the plants! Also girl, your hair is amazing!! Thank you for helping us build confidence for creating you tube! I am excited to get started :)
I'm wondering if u used the existing UA-cam or create new channel. I open UA-cam 2013 but never post anything. I'm not sure if I need to create new UA-cam or used the existing now
@@ChristineChang99 same here I created UA-cam channel in 2014 but didn't post any thing. Just 2 weeks ago I started to post. Will it work ? Anyone has any idea
Is not too late I just strted mine and I am hopping for thr best while listening to diff UA-cam video to understand the tag, optimization and keywords search which am still struggling with but so far am grateful for my little subscribers
Thank you Gilian, your videos helped me alot with starting my channel to spread my message, watching your videos and all the tips you shared played a big part in helping me, even tho my videos are not highh quality yet, but yes i just did it, thankkkk you :*
Thanks for the inspiration ! My channel is under review for the monetization and i would like to know if the ad cent revenue is only based on view or watch ti,e too ( ofcourse after the prerequisite of 1000 subs and 4000hr/year)
I am so happy to hear that it is not too late. I mean we have had our channel for awhile, but have not been growing very much. I am glad there is plenty of room on the platform and not too saturated yet. This is probably the boost of confidence I need right now!
Thanks Gillian. I have had a channel for two years and growth has been slow. Still not making any money from ads. BUT, some of my videos have hit the 1000 views mark (huge for me!) and of course my filming and editing skills are getting better with each video. The first video I ever posted was literally the first video I ever made! You h as very to start somewhere! Better to put yourself out there and get the experience and feedback than to not try at all!
I somehow never gave it a second thought... 🤔 I've just started a channel a year ago (about work at home jobs, IT jobs and online businesses) and now I've got almost 700 subscribers... Thank God I haven't met with "it's too late" attitude, because I might not have started 😅
Thanks for sharing the bit about one of your videos gaining popularity 6 months after you posted it! I've not heard that yet! Giving me hope over here!!! Lol 😊
I started my channel at the beginning of this year. The first reasons I'm doing it are: to create a visual journal of this important period of my life and to learn something new. I admit that it would be nice to have at least some people watching my videos, but I have a goal of creating 100 videos and I won't give up before that.
Love this! Make sure you don't just crank out those 100 videos, but really make them intentionally, working to make each better than the last. If you do that, I'm sure you'll go far!
Hi Gillian ❤🥀 Someday all of us will move away from UA-cam to another social media platform ... "maybe I'm diverted by false hope" but anyways I'll build a surprising channel dealing with "engineering matters" out there.
If you had to start a new channel today on a low budget, is there a certain resource, channel, workbook, resource list (or all of the above) you would recommend. That's for the encouragement to get started
Well I started a month ago...have uploaded about 12 vids....one day, when I have a Million plus subscribers I hope to say, No its not too late to start! I started right before the plague and look at me! LOL....great advice. thx
@@plantedsoul7043 I now have 67 vids uploaded so proud of that.....Im at 89 subs so its slow but growing steadily....I've narrowed down my niche too ...more trading and finance videos now....
I think it’s never to late. But it’s harder now because there tons of other tourneys... I started it last summer and I hope it’ll be successful one day 🤞
I think the quarantine is going to be the cause of a whole new group of UA-camrs. A year ago I would have never even considered posting a video or even launching an online course. Now I have no choice, and that is true of teachers everywhere.
I want to let you know gillian that you are my inspiration . Omg I just uploaded my first video and as I was recording it the thoughts goin thru my head were man is this vid gonna suck ! And boy was i right but it is my first so I will learn from it and I am trying to fight the urge to take it off !
Hey, I like your videos very much as they are very informative and gallantly narrated. I was wondering was this video made before Corona outbrake and is there any negative effect on your ad revenues in these times? Thank you.

(Yeh I’m interested in making art videos)
Gillian I just need help with one thing. I have around 400 subscribers on this channel but I stopped posting videos almost a year ago. But I really want to continue it with dedication n consistency but is it good with UA-cam algorithm if I resume this channel or should I start a new one? Plus there's a language change this time. I want to make new videos in my native language, Urdu. Please respond.
I don't think UA-cam is going away. There might be competition arise. Think, you have a few minutes to kill. Do the most popular entertainment, watch a movie!
I am in quarantine now and I'm BORED to death! So I decided I needed to find a new hobby - youtube! Would love for you to consider watching my first youtube video - an unboxing of the Fendi peekaboo mini 😍 did it feel this horrible/fabulous/fantastic/"help me"/"I'm regretting this!" for you as well when you uploaded your first video ? 😅🙈 love your videos and you helped me out so much!! ❤
I always tell everyone that it’s never to late to start something new! If you feel called to share what you love with the world, than do it! ❤️ With hard work, passion and dedication, it will pay off in the end! 😊
Thank you. Means a lot as new content creator
agreed
you are right
Thank you for this! I just started mine but I more so did it to hold myself accountable and if 1 person can relate to me then Im winning:)
