Tip for anyone starting who is serious about UA-cam, what she said about preparing videos consistently being hard is real! I made another channel about bra fittings and pre-filmed all the videos for the first month before publishing anything. On launch week, I publish 6 videos, then just one a week. I got monetized within 5 months of starting the channel. It didn't make a lot of money, but I got a sponsorship and PR samples. Preparing for the first month gave me time to prepare 4 videos for the following month with ease. All the topics were niche specific and due to planning, all my outros teased to the next video and they were in a sequence so that people would binge my channel. If your content is executed correctly, stay consistent, you will see success eventually.
UA-cam can be SO discouraging. It's so hard to start a channel and not compare yourself to others. I love your content and you are very inspiring. Thank you so much for making this video and congrats on your first paycheck, Katie! ✨
So inspiring! I recently hit 1000 subscribers after starting in January, so this is super motivating! I totally agree with starting a series. Most of my videos are a series focused on my life and travels whilst studying abroad in Japan, and I think this has really helped my channel to grow! ❤️
Congratulations! UA-cam can be so exhausting and tiring. I'm still a long, long way from being monetized but the journey to being monetized can be the most rewarding part. People like you are what keep me going 😄
Consistency is the real name of the game. But wow, $374.99 is huge as your first paycheck ! Congratulations! Approval within 24 hours is unbelievable! Is this the normal process? Sorry, I'm still working on my channel and thanks for the tips you've shared.
Sometimes approval can take longer! I think UA-cam says it can take up to a month. They only approve channels that post original content (no reposting of other peoples content or something like that) no spam, meets community guidelines, etc.
@@KatieBrown thanks for the additional information. I'm doing my best to post original content as much as possible, even though it can be challenging since my channel mainly focuses on sports and I rely mostly on online sources.
Your spike encouraged me to keep going that I could achieve these goals soon! So excited for you and the details of what happens right after you hit those minimums is super helpful!!
I found your Disney videos and will say that the creators I prefer are “organic” - which is to say, they post what they want and IMO it’s more genuine. The audience will find you 💫 TFS and congratulations!
Hi Katie! I'm so glad I found your channel! Fellow UA-camr here with a dog channel about our family's journey rescuing and adopting a very special, one-eyed Shih Tzu. I'm so glad you made this video because I really appreciate what you said about not wanting to put yourself in a box. I feel the same way! I think this is something many of us new and smaller creators struggle with because being niche specific all the time can feel restrictive. I think part of being creative is branching out a little bit here and there which I've definitely done. Totally agree with you about consistency - Sunday is our day and our viewers know it and look forward to it! I share your love of DisneyWorld by the way so, I'll be watching your videos! 🤗😊😘
Congratulations. It is so inspiring to see small creators generating a fairly decent amount. I really need to work on being more consistent. I have a video doing well but I really should be capitalising on that.
So many videos out there focus on making thousands of dollars (It feels all about one should become a millionaire from UA-cam!!) That is not my focus at all. I'd be happy if I eventually made $200 a month from my channel because that would cover the costs of the cat food I give out to stray cats here in Istanbul. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, so this video is very helpful. I wish every small UA-cam channel out there the best!
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 343 subs and almost > 100 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 couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Great video, loved that you were so honest. It’s nice to have come across a smaller channel (although doing very well) usually the ones that come up are over 100k subs. Just subscribed 👍🏻x
Love hearing this! Like you, I had two videos blow up which got me my watch hours first and now I'm just watching my subscriber count & trying to be more consistent. Congratulations on getting monetized! That's my goal for the end of this year!
New subscriber :) so motivating and loving your channel. I started mine and just keep going, I find the main key is just having fun so far :) well done on your first pay check 🎉
making videos for myself first, and now working towards that 1000 subscribers. By seeing the numbers go up it has motivated me to be more consistent. Thanks for the information!
I’ve been pushing out my content for years now and I’ve just been stuck at 680 subs for so long. It’s SO DISCOURAGING! But I’m not giving up and one day I’ll build my little family and get monetized too! It’s only up from here!!
I’m in the process of preparing 40 videos before releasing them to the public once a week as I make new vids. On video 9 so far. It’s a drastic strategy after the first two vid release. Am I over killing it?
Thank you Katie for this video! New channel here and the low view / subscriber count is REAL. But I won’t allow it to discourage me. Currently trying to save money for a camera 🤍
You never know what is gonna happen to your channel. I started three weeks ago and I have two videos that have been picked up by the youtube algorithm. Keep going and you will get there. If I could anyone can. Cheers.
Hi, I am planning to start a youtube channel for the first time. Can you please guide me. I have created a channel, just need your suggestions to do the settings.
Thanks for sharing your story. I started uploading about a year ago but was very inconsistent at first. Now im uploading regularly and have 383 subs that are growing but super slowly which is a bit discouraging so your story is really giving me hope 😊❤
Hi Katie. What are the rules on getting the full page monetized when you're using the partnered provided copyright music options of music artists in the UA-cam shorts section? I saw you had music in your shorts so maybe you know. I have only non copyright music in my full videos on the actual channel..Question 2, I've started another channel & I'm using UA-cam shorts to grow the channel, the shorts are singing clips from Instagram of different singers (no water marks) does this count as original content or it wouldn't qualify to be monetized? It’s only on the shorts videos, I’ve posted 3 so far..thanks.
Congrats Katie! I found your channel searching for Disney packing videos and u were packing to go on your trip with your mom and sister. What interested me was u were from Colorado which I live in Nebraska and Colorado is familiar to me and then found out u were a nurse like me, so I was hooked! I also was in Disney in Jan same time u were and it was fun to see the things u did dur same time. I think you are so sweet and down to earth. I also look forward to watching your videos! Cant wait to see whats next😊
So hard to even get to the 1000 subs. Although my videos aren’t perfect but I work hard on them and yet hard to get the audience to watch and subscribe😅
One day at a time. For now the aim is to post content almost every day and the rest will fall in place. Thank you for motivation. All the way from South Africa.
I can’t believe it I finally got monetised and got 80k on 1 video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 good luck to everyone who is really trying hard if I can do it so can you, keep going you’ve got this ❤️

You have such an uplifting personality.thanks for your advice
Thank you and I subscribed to your channel 🎉 I’m an avid UA-cam watcher transitioning to content creator.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.......thank you for the tip
what kind of equipment did you use to start off with? making videos ahead of time was a good idea.
Thank you so much for this 🩵
UA-cam can be SO discouraging. It's so hard to start a channel and not compare yourself to others. I love your content and you are very inspiring. Thank you so much for making this video and congrats on your first paycheck, Katie! ✨
Thank you for your sweet comment! Thank you for watching 🫶🏼
Get inspiration but don't compare yourself to others. That's my quick tip for you so won't get discourage.
totally agree 😕
I just subscribed, great content Jenn
So inspiring! I recently hit 1000 subscribers after starting in January, so this is super motivating! I totally agree with starting a series. Most of my videos are a series focused on my life and travels whilst studying abroad in Japan, and I think this has really helped my channel to grow! ❤️

You got this girl!! 💕
I monitized January of 2023 and still have not cashed out yet but i keep pushing forward
Congrats! It's such a dream to finally get monetized. It was so nice to hear you dive into your entire journey from the very beginning.
What would you do if you made $1,000 in a month on UA-cam? What would you think if you made $10,000 in a month on UA-cam?
Simple down to earth break down it to me 2 and half years to monitize
I found your Disney videos and will say that the creators I prefer are “organic” - which is to say, they post what they want and IMO it’s more genuine. The audience will find you 💫 TFS and congratulations!

How come you tube only pays certain ppl .. some ppl with alot of subscribers say they aren't getting a check while others with less receive a check
I can't wait till I get to make this video! I'm only 7 weeks into my channel so I have a ways to go, but I'll get there! ❤
Soooo encouraging thank you🎉. I just started yt 5 weeks ago with 800 views. Slowly m getting there.

Congrats: I am young UA-camr and hoping someday I will be like you. Thanks for inspiring me
Let's see
Very useful video
Congrats Katie! I found your channel searching for Disney packing videos and u were packing to go on your trip with your mom and sister. What interested me was u were from Colorado which I live in Nebraska and Colorado is familiar to me and then found out u were a nurse like me, so I was hooked! I also was in Disney in Jan same time u were and it was fun to see the things u did dur same time. I think you are so sweet and down to earth. I also look forward to watching your videos! Cant wait to see whats next😊
That’s amazing! Love finding my fellow nurses. Happy belated nurses week & thanks for watching 💖
Congrats on being monetized!!
I also love you have beautiful items and make it so pretty, lots of eye candy. Then after we listen to you we get hooked 😊
Thank you for watching I appreciate it so much 💖
I wish I had 1k subs😢
Thank you for sharing this! It’s so motivating 😊 that is the sweetest thing to know people drink their morning coffee watching you!
Congratulations and very well done. It is great to see a small channel making it. A fantastic video and great information.
UA-cam is very hard to reach but it's ok our hardworks will be rewarded someday,and it's worth it we just need to proceed ❤❤
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!!
So hard to even get to the 1000 subs. Although my videos aren’t perfect but I work hard on them and yet hard to get the audience to watch and subscribe😅
One day at a time. For now the aim is to post content almost every day and the rest will fall in place. Thank you for motivation. All the way from South Africa.
So encouraging! I just started my channel and its's doing well so far but it is definitely a lot of work
Congrats!!! Thank you for sharing this ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for watching 💖
You're an inspiration to fairly new UA-camrs like me.🎉❤

Technically all views total, but I primarily post regular videos and very few shorts!
Well done 👏 I can feel your genuine excitement, thanks for sharing 💛
I usually don't comment on UA-cam videos, but I just came across your channel and your personality is so comforting. Thanks for sharing this!
This is such a sweet compliment, thank you for commenting friend
Congratulations!! Im at 1500 subs but need the watch hours.
