My First Month on YouTube- What It’s REALLY Like to be a Small YouTuber | From a Complete Beginner
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лип 2024
- In this video, I unpack what it’s really like to create a new channel on @UA-cam as a complete beginner. I discuss what’s been fun and what has been challenging during my first month as well as the truth about using paid promotions. Being on youtube is such a ride and there’s some really great content to help you grow. I discuss what I think of other channels including: @ThinkMediaTV @MillieAdrian @vidIQ @RobertBenjaminChannel as well as some helpful apps I use for creating and uploading my content.

Wow thank you so much for the shoutout 😊 you’re CRUSHING IT!!!
Ahhh! Thank you so much! You are amazing at what you do so 🔥
Hi Mara, don't be disappointed. You do have some successes. You have gotten your first 10 subs. You are close to getting your first 100 subs. That's 10 times larger than your first 10 or a %1000 growth rate. Your lighting is good, your sound is good, and your background is good. Given your niche, your audience is concentrating strictly on you and your content. Also, you speak well and directly into the lens. You are doing well, so keep going.
@@raykusko9365 thank you!! ☺️
Flowers need time to grow.
Just do you and trust the process.
“it” will happen naturally
Just subbed from Michigan here. Happy to support another growing channel like myself. Keep up the great work, you'll take this far!
Michigan? Awesome! Thank you for your support, can’t wait to check out your channel. I LOVE product reviews- if you have a great niche I’m sure you’ll do great on UA-cam ☺️👍🏼
I enjoyed watching this. I recently started my channel as well and I kinda feel the same way. But I’m definitely gonna keep going. Thank you for sharing this. ❤
Congratulations! I am your 101 subscriber
Thank you for sharing. I’ll make the 99th for you lol. I truly hope you’re able to accomplish those goals, and if not that’s ok as well just keep going. Best of wishes to you. ❤
Greetings. My GEN Boomer new channel remains a work in progress. I wanted to say hello and happy for the way your video is done. It's setup very nicely. I liked how you added the chapter headings/thumbnail, as screenshots from the video. 🎉 Good job! -j-
Thank you so much for your support! Good luck to you. I’ll be sure to check your channel out ☺️
Hey mara, good video, just about to start myself and looking for others in the same boat. Will follow your journey and see where it's going for u. Just don't give up and keep going, we will all make it if we don't give up amd believe in ourselfs. Cheers
Hi Mara, nice relatable video. I'm in the same boat, new channel and 34 subcribers at the moment. I'm still figuring out what topics to post, so I've been all over the place... which is not helping 😂 Good luck with your channel ❤
i just completed my first month as well i subbed to you us small creators gotta stick together
Congrats on your first month, well done! Hope you're having a fun journey. Yes we definitely do, thank you!
Wooow I completed my second month too
Am a very small channel and stumbled across yours . Subbing and supporting 💪🏻 . Starting anything new is brave and esp from ground zero! Besides putting yourself out there takes a lot of courage! I just began to niche down to the Gen X population . The YT journey does transform you and it doesn’t end! Keep going!
Thank you so much! You have a great channel, looks very interesting! Wishing you the best ❤
Same and your channel is awesome. My husband and I have lost 300lbs together with IF, keep spreading the IF message my man :)
@@bizbitch Hi there! This was an awesome comment I swear! Thank you VERY much indeed. IF is a life changer, and I'd say 90% of my "look" and results really comes off of that lifestyle. And congrats on the 300 lb loss! What an amazing feat that is. Fantastic work! Curious to see what types of exercises you were (are) incorporating. Fasted workouts is my guess..
@@lifebehindthereels yes, fasted workouts daily. We've really embraced functional fitness at our age. We lift 2x a week but the rest is farm work, hiking, we're building a house ourselves, etc.
How kind! Thank you so much and happy birthday! 🎈
I also just posted my first UA-cam video. You sharing your journey gives me so much hope though, its relatable. I felt awkward with my first video too and messed up so much but I'm glad I did it because I was authentically me. And besides I can only go higher from there. Let's grow together 👏👏👏
@@Bi_Archy thank you so much and huge congratulations to you! It’s hard work but can still be fun! 🤩
Keep going! You got this 🙌🏽
@@p3drogil thank you ☀️
Hello fellow small UA-camr!! I have subscribed and hope you make your goals! 😊
Thank you so much ☺️
Just subscribed 😊 I also just completed my first month and it was a learning experience for sure! But we will get there!
Thank you so much! Congratulations and wishing you the best with your channel too!
I’m also brand new, less than a month and only 10 subs😂. I guess it will take time to grow, we just have to preserve. I’m also your new sub 👍
Hi Mara .!! just subscribed your channel. Never give up , All the best .
@@spicefusionofficial you are so kind! I won’t, thank you ☺️ 🙏🏼
Thanks for your video....very informative! I am not sure how I feel about paid promotions....but thanks for being honest and talking about the steps you have tried! I have heard many other small channels say the same thing with regarding the AVR dropping. Good Luck!
You are very welcome, thank you! I'll definitely be uploading more as there's so much to consider. I do think promotion is worth it if you need a confidence boost and also subconsciously I think when you have more subs, viewers are more inclined to follow when they see others have - if that makes sense? Maybe that's just the psychologist in me thinking that!haha Sending you the best for your channel too!
Thanks for this - needed to hear it as a new UA-camr myself. Love your style and your calming voice. Good luck with the channel. We can do this!
You are so lovely, thank you for your kind words. It means a lot! Wishing you the best too!
This is very relatable. Stay at it. Love your energy.
That’s so nice of you, thank you! Your encouragement means a lot 🙏🏼
Best of luck Mara. You sound like you are doing such a great job of researching what works and what doesn't and you have realistic expectations. I've been focusing on building one of my channels recently and I've found that many of my older videos are getting a lot more traction - my stuff won't date and so I'm finding the older stuff is helping my stats. Stick with it. It's not easy to turn and produce regular content but it is a lot of fun and for those of us who are "teachers at heart" it gives us a great creative outlet!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your support and that’s very encouraging to hear that your older videos are still helping your stats. I’ve heard it’s all about “evergreen” content so well done 👏🏼 😅 also, that couldn’t be more true - even when my videos haven’t had much traction I still feel fulfilled and a bit proud of creating the work. We definitely need to hold onto that especially in moments when you just think this is too slow or too niche! Wishing you the best! 😊
Hello from Galway, I too am on the same journey. Best of luck ❤.
Thank you so much, Linda ☘️ I’ll be sure to check out your channel! It’s not easy but we can least enjoy the small wins along the way! 🤍
@@MARACoach. Absolutely. I've grown my Ticktok to nearly 15k so it's all possible for us 💟
So happy you showed up in my feed :)
Thank you so much, how kind of you ☺️
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It is really useful! Don't give up, you are doing a great job!
You are so kind, thank you! I’m so glad you found it useful. I’ve already thought of so many other things I should’ve shared so I’ll definitely be posting more. It’s so great to hear what everyone else is doing so I feel the need to give back! 😂
@@MARACoach. Yeah, please share more of your experiences! It's really helpful for beginners on UA-cam and for people like me who want to start a channel but aren’t sure what to do There's so much info out there, and it can get pretty overwhelming.
@@soraya5274 amazing, I definitely will. To be honest I don’t think I’ve fully found my niche but each time I post I get closer to it 😅
Sister I really love your video's keep it up do not give up be strong u will succeed one day may god bless you Love from Northeast India BTW today is my birthday ❤
Really struggling at the moment my watchtime keeps going down and it affects me a lot and I have asked a lot of people. Great video
Thank you! ☺️ Yes I can see how your views have dropped after doing so well. Hopefully this is just a blip with UA-cam and you get back up. You’ve set up your channel really well 👍🏼
@@MARACoach. thank you so much can you see where I need to improve as my watchtime is going down and this is all I need
Nice video, good luck with the channel 💪
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😅
🤗Hey I also just stated and posted my first video🎉🎉 1 month in🎉 Congratulations on your journey and peace and blessings to all that’s starting new in 2024
@@AprilAnne_ thank you!! Love the look of your channel sports mom!! 😁 wishing you the best ☀️

Thank you new sub, so lovely to have you! Good luck on your journey, we can do it!
I just subscribed (#53) You have a beautiful authenticity about you. In this era of artificial everything, your style will resonate with many. It is those who share your vibe who will stay with you. Views obtained organically are more likely to produce lasting support than those that are coerced. Please stay in touch.
Thank you, kind subscriber ❤ Your comment is very touching, it’s exactly what I have been hoping to convey so that really means a lot. And yes you’re absolutely correct regarding authentic subs! Thank you again, I’m so pleased to have you along for the journey 😊
All the best, I also recently monetized!! 😃
@@Escapingrheality wow, good for you!! How long did it take you?
@@MARACoach. about 5 months!
@Escapingrheality wow that’s amazing 🤩
Since October been posting not even 250 sub yet.
Your experiences are just similar to mine. We started at the same time. What video editor do you use, quite impressive for a new channel. Perhaps you can make a new video on your editor. See you at the top. I just subscribed
@@TechTalkWithVictor thank you so much for your comments. Great to have you join - clearly we’re on the same level as I’ve just recorded a video on the tools I use! 😁 I’ll post it on Sunday so be sure to check it out! Wishing you the best 💟
Hi new subscirber! Hope we make it to the top!

I thought things has changed. They say nomore 1000 subs but 500. Nomore 4000 watch hrs but 3000. Is it true?
Well it’s different for monetising and joining a partner program but I’ll cover this in my upcoming videos so be sure to check it out ☺️👍🏼
Really Informative Video
Your Content Deserve Million of Views
How Can I Help You to Grow on UA-cam with Good Thumbnails?
Thank you so much! If you check out my other video it covers a bit on thumbnails which should hopefully help 👍🏼
You should Improve your editing skills
Your video thumbnails are weak and your video hooks are weak, if you fix these two things, your views will increase.
Hey Mara,
It's Borhan here! I'm a huge fan of your "MARA Life & Career Coach" UA-cam channel. Your content is always top-notch, and I can see the passion and effort you pour into each video. I believe you have incredible potential to reach an even wider audience with a solid UA-cam strategy.
I would love to schedule a short meeting with you to discuss how I can help you grow your channel faster. This is not a sales call, but an opportunity to share ideas and offer assistance.
Let me know if you're interested, and we can find a convenient time to chat.
Thanks for your time and for creating such amazing content.
Keep up the fantastic work!
