I started filming back in May. I have two videos up on my channel but they're still set to private. I've been dragging my feet because I feel that I won't have enough content ideas to build a community. Which is what I want. Community is everything. IMO. I feel I'm just "small town" and who do I think I am to even entertain the idea of being a creator. I also don't want to be chained to one certain "thing"/ niche ( I dislike this term lol). I need a good kick to get off the scardey cat fence.
Editing. I know how to edit, I just don't have the motivation to do it. I've filmed countless videos over the years, I have SO MUCH FOOTAGE. But I hardly ever crank anything out.
finding a free editing program that does a little more than cuts and pre determined text placement...i'd love to be able to do voice over over b-roll and some more interesting transitions and captions, thanks!
@@lifewithmargotDavinci Resolve is the way to go! It's the software I use now and they're free version has almost everything the paid version does except for advanced audio editing.
Your channel makes this feel so doable. Thank you for being awesome! My hang up is I last uploaded a year ago and not sure if I should just start a new channel or revive my old one? I have 40 subscribers on my other one and I was also dealing with some crazy issues. So a part of me is thinking "fresh start," but not sure if that would be best practice.
I started filming this weekend and I wanted to cry I was so embarrassed the whole time I tried to film. This is helpful for me. I just didn’t look like I thought I did. I kept focusing on my looks too much 😢
I think it can be really hard to be in front of the camera & that we can be our own BIGGEST critic. I’ve struggled with this too, and I’m 99.9% sure every other creator has struggled with this as well. Just remember that you don’t have to listen to the story your brain is telling you-you belong, you are worthy, and you are beautiful just as your are 🤗 there’s a place for all of us in content creation!! xoxo
I go through this every time I start down a new endeavor that is super expansive. When I started my podcast, when I started my UA-cam, when I started coaching, when I started offering courses. To me, it's a VERY GOOD SIGN that I'm on the right track. In order to birth anything new into the world, there will be contractions. AND you are a powerful being with so much to offer the world. You got this. Keep going. ❤
@@katie thank you Katie for always being so supportive and giving us really good advice!! Following your newest UA-cam strategy and it’s working really well for me
This is literally insane. I am sitting here - starting to post more on TikTok and UA-cam and I am literally telling myself no one cares Lauren!! Why would they want to hear what YOU of all people have to say? Such horrible self talk, I know, I’m working on it lol. But then I open up UA-cam and it’s my favorite guru publishing a video - confidence boost for creators! I haven’t watched yet but I just know it’s going to be so helpful for me. Thanks Katie 💕 always happy to see a video from you
As a person who is practicing conscious manifesting can confirm that even though this is not particularly your thing you are already sharing pretty much manifesting techniques. Like there is no way of manifesting from the place of lack so finding things that confirm that you already possess the skill and possibilities (even if those are fractions of desired) is a good start for manifesting more of that. Thank you for the video! Love how you shifted from technical to encouraging type of content ❤
You know, I think as humans, we stress WAY to much over "the little things!" I recently started watching The Cottage Fairy & idk... everything just clicked! I watched her videos, and realized, THATS how I wanna tell my story!, just sayn❤
I LOVED the sims analogy! This is how I view my life. If i exercise for the day my progress bar goes up. If I socialise, my progress bar goes up. If im creative my progress bar goes up. And if none of those, im in the red haha.
I can’t do delusional confidence, but I Can jump and do things anyway. It takes a long time. But I love the idea of delusional confidence confidence. Very creative
This was timely, I just started posting and I wouldn’t share my link because I believe my content presentation needs more work. Then today I took the time to look at the people in my city posting without thinking too much and I realize it’s a confidence thing. My content isn’t where I want it to be, but it’s not horrible. So I’ll share away and grow with time,
Thank you for this! I just decided to jump in the water with 2 channels and literally every second I'm asking my self what the heck am I thinking even trying this. You are so inspiring. Thank you so much 💓
I think in general a lot of these tips can be applied to things beyond just being confident in front of a camera and with your content creation. I totally agree with nearly all these points! I've been working on a script for building confidence in writing/over coming imposter syndrome and your video helped me solidify some of the ideas I had floating around! What great timing!
Everything is set up and ready to go for my new UA-cam channel, but I'm struggling to believe that my intended content will be useful or helpful . This video is helpful for me to get over the hump. Keep creating.
I wonder if I come off as confident in my videos. Cause I feel it for the most part, then later I look at my videos and go hmm.. but we’re our own worst critic sometimes. Loved how you explained confidence, you made it easier to understand and lessened the stress around it. It certainly is a skill one can practice. Everyone has it. Just gotta practice. Love your content, Katie, stay well!
Katie you are amazing!!!! I love you!!🥰🤗😃You always bring in content that helps me tremendously. I am a beginning UA-camr and need all the help I can get and you bring it in beautifully. There is not even ONE content message that is great. Thank you so so much for all that you bring in that helps us not be afraid of beginning and how to move on in our journey. God Bless my friend. Muah!!💛💜🧡😘
Love this all so much! And huge YES about the negative thoughts translating to negative experiences...my mom calls it "self-fulfilling prophecy". If you tell yourself, "this is going to suck," chances are, it WIĹL. Keep up the amazing content, you are so appreciated!
When I started my UA-cam Channel, it was so uncomfortable to see myself on camera I believe is part of the process but UA-cam has helped me build my confidence and my teaching skills. Great video you just need to start!!!
This is a great video but I feel like the angle with the title/thumbnail are in a ‘confrontational’ type voice & the avoidant unconfident person in me wouldn’t have clicked this video because of that (but since it’s from you I knew it would deliver!) Just thought I’d share some perspective from your target audience in case anything I say can help your video do better! Thanks for sharing your tips! ♡
This is awesome; thanks so much for making this. Definitely struggling with this off and on since starting my channel but I really think confidence/believing in yourself is the key to all of it. Trying to get over the hump of self doubt and videos like these helps 💕
Well I was contemplating if I am doing the right thing with my channel but this video helped me be all the more motivated. My confidence level fluctuates every time I upload a video. Hopefully your steps will help me through
Your content always speaks to me! I do not have confidence in my ability to create interesting content based on where I am; and there you are creating amazing content in your van; which I love, by the way!❤
Katie, your content has really inspired and motivated me to get back to youtube. Thought you should know you're making a difference! I was planning on upping my editing skills so if you have any specific courses on skillshare (or somewhere else really) that have helped you I'd love to check them out :)
I feel like I need a video on how to REGAIN confidence that’s been lost. I was feeling super confident and good about my content. Then I got my first truly nasty comment (very personal, attacking me as a person) and it’s really messed with my head. I’ve received dozens of positive comments and my channel is growing, but that one comment has made me question if UA-cam is healthy for me in the long run, because I just have an icky feeling now when I think about posting. If comments like that become common, I’m not sure my mental health could handle it.
Spot on advice Katie. 👍🏻 I stumbled across your channel a couple of months ago, while researching how to really invest my time into the world of digital content. Love your messages in each video you’ve shared with us. Brava. And, you deliver your messages in a very genuine way and I appreciate that. And, I just took advantage of that one month promo for Skillshare using your link. Thanks! 12:06
This is the BEST! Such great advice and I'm going to work on these questions. I love your approach here! "Be delusional!" haha, I love it. Thank you so much for this, Katie! :)
Loving your advice, as I'm still working up my nerve. Have to say, I am an equal opportunity believer.....just as you think negative thoughts and create negative outcomes in life, the opposite has to be true as well. The bible says that words have power.....so be careful what you say. So.....speak good and powerful things about yourself and THEY WILL HAPPEN! You have the power. And yes, it's always hard to take your own advice! 🙄
If you are more science based, then what about quantum physics? Check out, What the Bleep do we Know? There are scientists there that explains some strange things with life. 🤔 Actually, there's a lot of research and measurable proof that there is something going on with intention. Plus, logically, like you said, there's no down sides and we all have a biase/filter going on that helps us isolate what we are already looking for so.. there's that too.
Hey Katie, I hope you’re reading this. In one of your other videos you mentioned a platform that can be used to host coaching videos. The name started with “U”, I believe. I’d be interested in that as this sounds perfect for me to create training videos for my team. 🙏
honestly I personally don't (for the most part)! partially because I don't want to accidentally start copying others, and partially just because my youtube watching time is relaxation for me so I'm trying not to think about work lol

Awww! What’s your channel? ❤ I’d love to subscribe!
you're so right, girl. We need to stop stressing and thinking too hard. People are not going to like us and then people will. It is what it is.
Fake it till you make it is indeed valid, and I gotta say that Sims edit was so cute!
Super grateful for the ability to create content! One day I will become full time and hit my goals!
1,000 you will!!! 🤜🤛
yes! you've got this 🙌🏻

Haha can relate to that self talk :D 🥲
600 subs with 8 vids is doing great. You are rocking it Lauren! Keep grinding! 🌿
"Failure also gives you confidence points" I love this perspective shift. Great video :)
Yessss, anytime we do a new thing, regardless of the outcome, we prove to ourselves that we CAN do it, and we're not going to die. Level UP!

That Sims-like editing was so good Katie!

I can’t get myself to get in front of the camera. This is a great reminder!
Thanks for the encouragement! :D
I hit 300 subscribers today and did a little happy dance!! I have a lot further to go but your content is helping me!!
Thank you for this! I just decided to jump in the water with 2 channels and literally every second I'm asking my self what the heck am I thinking even trying this. You are so inspiring. Thank you so much 💓

Good morning my love thank you for posting so consistently I get so much value from your content. Have a great week.❤

Tysm for this. Aspiring ASMR content creator here 🙆🏾♀️🤍
Thank you, it's just what I needed :)

Keep up the amazing content, you are so appreciated!

I really love your videos. They are informative, realistic and relatable. Thank you for all you share.
Thanks again!
I needed this video! Thankyou

Your content is so inspiring! I needed to hear this. ❤️
I will rewatch that video today..thank you so much, you've no idea how much your video is helping me 🌻

Love your content and the way you present it. And the Van doesn't hurt . I love travel.
haha thank you!!
The intro to Coffee Chats with Katie is amazing. You should be proud!
Thank you so much.... for boosting myself confidence.😇
I don’t really like practicing manifestation so I liked your theory and I’ll use it from now on!
Really liked this one Katie! Felt like a lot of this was generally applicable (outside of just content creation) and a really good mindset reminder!!
True! I just started posting more!
Your content always speaks to me! I do not have confidence in my ability to create interesting content based on where I am; and there you are creating amazing content in your van; which I love, by the way!❤
This was simply excellent. I'm so glad I've watched and hopefully listened to it. Time will tell. Thank you so much. Be well.

Wow! I remember when you had 5k subs! Congrats Katie!
I love your videos!!
I need more confidence to help me stay consistent.
Excellent video. Again, you know your audience 🎉
I use my iPhone 13 Pro Max to make my videos and iMovie for editing. Is there a special thing about cinematic video?
Just signed up with skill share
I'm sorry but it's the small things that make me LOVE. a video. when you said "pop off queen" listen here, I GAGGED😂😂😂love this channel!
I just bit the bullet and did a thing on my channel and now I don't care about it anymore 😂 Now I think I can do any stupid thing on there.,

Do you watch other UA-camrs in your niche? I heard maybe we shouldn’t so we won’t compare ourselves.??
honestly I personally don't (for the most part)! partially because I don't want to accidentally start copying others, and partially just because my youtube watching time is relaxation for me so I'm trying not to think about work lol
Mahalo Katie ❤
Manifesting small youTubers like me to get monetized😊❤🎉
Btw, your video is very informative❤ ty
I am constantly uploading and views are not really specific
I hope it get better❤
Omg! I can be delusional 😂
❤❤
I don't have the confidence to show my face on tiktok live
lol yeah delusion can help a lot, think you can do something, its at least worth a shot at it😝
Working on that😂 Thanks for great info! 🫡🇵🇷
incredible video Katie 🤍🤎 this is what i’ll send my friends that constantly ask how I do this :3
Great video, Katie!😊
