Thank u

I just started thank u
to you as well!
I just started. Thank you. All the best to every one
Just started
thanks
are you starting a UA-cam channel in 2021?!
I just started a UA-cam channel so thank you for your advice !! 🤍
Started one in the end of 2020 thanks to you, your motivation and your helpful video! :)
I started 2020🥺
Yes and tbh I watched your advice from the start✌🏽
I also started at the end of 2020 with a lot of your tips! ♥️
Famester had the biggest impact on my channel. Highly recommend!
You would think the common goal is: "I want a million subs" Nope, I think all of us just want to build up a community that enjoys our content. Keep working hard at it folks!
So true!
My goal is to create as much original content as possible
Yes!
Nope, I want millions of subs. Millions and millions.
@@turntablesrockmyworld9315 me too..i add u
No one is you. And that is your superpower. Facts! Yes cathrin!
@@cryptodaily4954 bruh
@@cryptodaily4954 faker
hahahah I'm glad you noticed it's a scam account.. they are going crazy in my comments lol
@@CathrinManning omg! I was like, ummmm? That's not cathrin
@@CathrinManning yeah it's pretty easy, you just have to click on the pfp
Fair warning to newbies: it’s taken me 19 months to start getting traction. Don’t let up until you’ve made like 100 videos!
my first year on UA-cam I only gained 300 subscribers 😂 it's a labor of love! you gotta love it and stick with it to see the results from your hard work 🤗
Not having any expectations till I finish my first 100 videos!! Still 40ish videos to go!!!
@@themindlessmess keep going, you got this!
@@CathrinManning How many videos did you make in that year? Am at 20 videos 6 months in and barely have a 100 subs. Phew! It's so frustrating most times to work hard and see no results. I guess my biggest lesson is to be PATIENT.
@@BlessedMwangi lol I share the same frustration. The time invested in Equipment + Video filming + Editing + Time to upload + inputting youtube video details = 1 or 2 subs. My channel is very niche to motorcycle culture but I recently released a video about what it is like to be latecomer youtuber. I think you might get a kick at it! I will do the same with your channel and support that sub!
Thanks for taking the time to make the video Cathrin. Hearing from others creators who are relatively new is good motivation.
who else is starting their channel this year? LET'S ROCK IT TOGETHER ❤️✨
Me. goodluck. Wish me luck with mine!😍
@Barbara Stephens yessss!!!

thanks! Ill subscribe if you do!
YESSSSS love this!
Wow, that was powerful and so true, i figured it out at the age of 33!
You are so inspiring Cathrin. I love your style, you talk fast but articulately and clearly-get the message out in a very easy to understand way. I've been doing my research mostly using your advice as I prepare to venture out on my own to start a channel re: mental health. I have to quiet the voice that keeps saying, "It's already out on the internet." Thank you
I cannot express adequately the amount of gratitude I feel for creators like you that don't gate keep their tips for success! Thank you!!
Calling all new UA-camrs!! We got this!! 💪🏻✨ we are all in this together!
Here here 🙌
💯
Yesss
Yuk
YESSSS! ✨
Never let the numbers discourage you. Just keep going because there is always hope as long as we don't give up!
True man, don't back down!
Hi 🤍
Thank you 💯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😩😩😩
Thank u 😀 needed to hear that
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ great encouragement line
Thank you for sharing, Cathrin. I just started and I am learning a lot from experienced UA-camrs like you. Good luck to everyone!
I wanted to start for a long time, I finally have the courage to put myself out there. Thank you for the tips Cathrin!
Loving these tips! Especially the one about unique and innovative content. It's exactly why I've been using boost app social - helps me brainstorm those out-of-the-box ideas. Might be something you'd like, too.
boost app social is such a cool app for brainstorming ideas and profile enhancement. really adds a boost!
I’ve been using it for my business profile, and it’s legit! Makes everything look professional and engaging.
It's so good for crafting unique content.
To the person that reads this, you're gonna get a successful UA-cam channel.
Let's wish each another all the best
Thanks i wish you all the best too
So sweet! You as well💓
I wish you the best too!
Thank you so much! You have my support and I hope you all do amazing! I would highly appreciate support over at my channel I do fun aesthetic content 😊
Goodluck everyone!
Be 100% yourself. There are people who need to hear what you have to say even if you don't think there is. put in the work and have patience.
Very true!!
Your so right
Couldn't agree more
Agree
Right
love that you are so natural. clearly just being yourself which is refreshing to see you girl!
I first found you a couple years ago when I was thinking of starting a channel and would study your videos. You had a couple hundred subscribers and went by the content bug. You just popped up in my feed and I saw you have 400k+ subscribers and it made me smile. I want to congratulate you on your success and hard work. It takes much dedication to grow a business and I'm so happy for you. Wishing you continued growth 💕
"... There's only u, that's your superpower." I loved that.
Same!
The ONE THING I wish I knew when I started? Make mistakes and don't be afraid of trying new things. The entire process of bringing an idea to life and realizing it wasn't the right kind of video that you wanted to make ... is EXACTLY what you need to do to understand and figure out what you want your channel to be about.
ohhhh that's such a good one! another piece of advice is just start and adjust later. it's really a learning process and nothing is going to be perfect from the very beginning!
@@CathrinManning I totally agree with you! Figure out everything later since nothing is gonna be perfect!
Yes! I love this! I had the same realisation!
@@BenjaminBlak So.. Keep making mistakes? Haha
Same here!! Trying new things is so important, but it's kinda hurts making consistently related content
All of your videos are so helpful, clear and concise🧡✨ I’ve been wanting to start a UA-cam channel for a year and I’ve started taking the steps finally outside of a virtual note of ideas, I’m so excited and starting to feel more prepared to truly launch. ☺️
This is great Cathrin , answered a lot of questions some I realised I had , others you brought to
Light .
You are refreshingly authentic, thank you .
I’m struggling to find what makes me unique , well to actually make it appealing .

True my name rolls off of the tongue and my channel is about art
❤ Thanks
12:02 YESSS you are SPOT ON! I made a video (12 Air Fryer Mistakes) in December... and what is incredible is that I actually almost DIDN'T make the video because "air fryer mistakes" isn't something anyone even searches for. But I decided to just move forward with it because I was out of time to develop another idea and stay on my posting schedule. Seriously, 2 weeks after I published that video, YT picked it up and it's my most popular vid and literally exploded my channel! I am sooo grateful I didn't let that little voice that was saying "no one is going to search for that" stop my from moving forward with my idea! (before I exploded, I was only getting search traffic - and had just barely monetized in Oct). Anyway... just wanted to be another witness that YOU SPEAK TRUTH GIRL! xoxo
Wishing you all the most progress in your future journey, on UA-cam and beyond!
This is such a reinforcing video for me! Just getting started here in 2022 and I love every single bit of this. Thank you so much for the genuine content.
If You're Reading This. You're Gonna Achieve Alot Of Greatness. Just Keep On Pushing!

Thanks!! I was definitely thinking of giving up

@@thelitthomasfamily8214 thank so much for the motivation I just subscribed!!!
I always kick myself for not starting a UA-cam channel sooner in life! If you're sitting on the fence, just do it! Get out there, it's a lot of fun to put yourself out there and now I can't wait to see where my channel goes in the future 😁
Just do it
Same I’ve been wanting to start one since last year and I always beat myself up for not doing it when I had the chance😩
I love this!! I really needed to read this on today.
thank you for your advice and tips Cathrin!
1 This vid is insanely good and is so so authentic and personal! And 2. The comment section is a goldmine. The amount of care that people are showing is beautiful. Hope everyone gets the dream they've been longing for!
Well said!
IF YOU SEE THIS MESSAGE I PRAY THAT GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Many blessings to you :):):)
May God bless you and be with you too and all the people !!
And you as well. Thank you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amen
I pray God be with you also.
I’m new to UA-cam and if your reading this and are new too don’t give up, we got this!!
I'm here for support 🤝
Yes I’m new to and if we can support each other that will be great
Yesss!
Same girl❤️
me too!
Love this! I just started this channel for my 4yrs old Daughter a Month now. I am confident this will do well. I wish you all reading this the best of luck for 2022 and beyond❤️
Love ya Cathrin! Been watching your videos for awhile. My first channel wasn't sustainable, but my new channel makes me SO happy and I actually enjoy recording and editing my content. I've been working on it for 4 months, but am not growing. Thanks for these tips! I've been using Epidemic from the beginning and LOVE it. Here's hoping with consistent hard work, I see some success. Congrats on your brand and all you have achieved! You've truly fought for it!
keep going!
Thank you soooo much for the great tips Cathrin! It's so scary starting out but so reassuring when you break it down like this.
So glad to have found you here, Cathrin. I loved this video (your tips are so straightforward and sensible) and your approach. I explored more of your videos recently and found even more helpful information--thanks for all your hard work and honesty. It's so appreciated!
I have recently began a channel and Im thankful for your info! I also watched where you have purchased a new....old house! Way to go! Love some good reno's.... Wish you best!
Thank you for the video. Happy spring.
Hi Cathrin...I appreciate you sharing this video. I’ve been following you since The Content Bug (I’ve been a silent subscriber...watching, liking but not commenting). I must say that it’s amazing to see how you’ve blossomed over the years. I love how you approached your channel rebrand and took us original subbies along with you the whole entire way. Your transparency draws us in (well...speaking for me, it drew me and keeps me watching). I normally don’t comment but I just wanted to share how inspiring it to see much your channel has grown. Congratulations on your UA-cam success!! Thank you for what you do and the raw guidance you share with us! Greatly appreciated. 💞
I love the originality piece at the end there. That and thumbnails are my absolute biggest takeaways. I have this vlog channel but I am also doing a content growth channel ( that is being built around one product) as well so I am growing from the ground up on that one, and I am kind of relearning as I go. I am super happy I started watching before you blew up. Have no idea how I found you!
This is one of the most informative yt videos that I have seen. Usually I get bored and don't finish a video or I start to do other things but this one had my full attention. Was thinking of starting a channel and this was so helpful.
You are giving my life Cathrin, thanks a million, still pushing forward to grow my channel.
To everyone who is reading this, it's obvious that you're here because you want to start a UA-cam channel, so I pray and hope that God Blesses you with the hottest platform on UA-cam, and I really mean that!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks!

Just looked at your page. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber 🥂
@@nataliesartchannel355 thank you so much 🙏❤😊
@@trulybless176 you’re welcome
Cathrin is here again with all the good tips, really grateful for them thank you! Love your videos ❤️
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been following you for a few years now & I recently made the decision to take my UA-cam channel seriously. Your tips are always so encouraging 🤍✨
I was feeling down before i watched this video, but it really lifted me up, it's really nice to have a transparent youtuber like you. Thank you so much for for the video, im really inspired by yr growth on UA-cam.
It's the changing your name part for me! I struggled with figuring out my name for my channel at first because I had the same issue with not wanting my family to find my channel. It took me a couple of months, but realized that I (personally) wouldn't be able to embrace my AUTHENTIC self if I weren't using my name. Thanks for all of this!
thank you
Haha the first thing people see when they look for my name are exorcism videos (weirrrd) but I LOVE making videos and I got 50 subscribers in the past week. That doesnt sound like much but it makes me so happy because all the effort I put into editing starts paying off AND people skip the exorcism videos haha! Maybe u can check me out and tell me what u think?:)
Great looking channel jane
okay... I wanna know that's the one piece of advice you would give to someone starting a channel?!
To be patient. Nomatter how much they follow every UA-cam success rule, growth on YT takes time 9/10 times. So patience and consistent improvement is key in my view
BE CONSISTENT! Don't quit...
Make videos as long as they need to be. If you can get your point across in 5 minutes, why add an extra 5 minutes of fluff that doesn't add any value. Keep it as concise as possible and it'll give so much more value to your audience, and they will probably appreciate you more for it. If it needs to be 15 mins long, make it 15 mins, it doesn't matter how long you need to say what you have to say, just don't make it longer than it needs to be.
Perseverance is the key to success.
It takes time, you have to put the work in!
Love the candid and energetic content. I've queued 10 of your videos. Great content thank you!
I've just started my channel yesterday and this is soo helpful. Thanks Cathrin! ❤😊
So many wonderful tips, thank you for this video Cathrin!
I love the adorable Fancy bloopers at the end! Love the advice! Your videos/advice has definitely been a huge help for me to get started on UA-cam! And getting good equipment without breaking the bank has been a huge deal, especially as I will also use it for future online courses I am planning to create between this year and the next one!
I feel like you literally shared everything! Thanks for not holding back. The video is well enlightening.
❤❤❤❤
My favourite UA-camr yet; I love that you are talking facts and no watery info; thank you for sharing.❤
Currently in the process of rebranding my channel. Just completed my first 6 months and I've learnt a lot! Now looking apply those learning and grow even faster in 2021!! Hoping you guys also achieve all your goals!! ❤️❤️
rebranding in terms of content or also the actual look of your videos?
@@lastnamebase as of right now content, niche, and upload schedule. There isn't much of a drastic change but just making things streamline and refined. But I do want to change the style as well. But for that some equipment upgrades are very much necessary. So looking to save up a little more and get the canon m50 mark ii. Having a better camera is all I need to upgrade my quality. I have exhausted all the equipment I have. No room to upgrade within my means! 😅😅
@@themindlessmess I see, thanks for sharing that :) good luck!
I love this page so much. I've had my page for about a year and I really wish I had known this stuff when I started. I feel like I'm just now getting into a groove..it's a slow groove.. but it's still happening lol
Thank you so much for your knowledge. It's been so helpful for me 💚
Cathrin, your information is wonderful. The day i have subscribed and started watching your contents, it change my life. Thank you for all the valuable contents that you shared with us.
Gurl, I'm new to this, but I am loving your help. Thanks for the great and detailed content! ❤
All about the self-improvement game. Definitely using this. Ty!
I’m almost a year in now with my channel. Learned lots, learning still. Live the journey though and some of the connections I’ve made with other creators. It gives hope to humanity.
You're amazing, Cathrin!
Thank you 😍♥️
I just started a channel and I love your style so much! I hope I can be as relaxing as you in front of the camera!
This is the most riveting video I've ever seen on UA-cam by far. Not a single "umm second", excellent verbal skills, fantastic content, great quality both on video and audio, not so serious but also not too slack either, actually sincere (or gives that vibe) an so on. Love it!
wow thank you so much!!
Agian with your transparency, such a joy to watch and learn, Thank You!
She is totally the best 😍 I started my channel last year and she has helped me so much
Wow, You are so cool to watch and the info was quick and furiously entertaining. What a great mentor you are, thanks so much!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! You also put a spin on every single one of my fav quotes 🤯💛 God bless 😌
Great tips! My biggest tip is to avoid trying to be perfect. Your main focus when starting should be to focus on pushing out content consistently then as you grow you can continue to learn how to improve your content and channel to make it better. I see so many people fail to start because they think their content is not good enough. My video with the most views about 8,000 is just me sitting in a hotel room with bad lighting and bad audio retelling the story of how I had just been denied entry onto a flight to Dubai due to an expired COVID test. Long story short people didn’t care about fancy editing or production value they connected with me and my story.
These tips were so helpful! It’s so great having a creator like you sharing this info ❤️
I concur and strongly agree with you. Have you started a channel as yet?
only two videos in and already subscribed! love this. love the personality. love it all!
Im finding this so so helpful to start a new youtube channel! thank you for being you! x
SUCH fabulous tips! I also love your style. I currently just film in one location, one spot because I just don't have the capacity to create BROLL but your switching up of angles etc is so do-able. Feeling inspired :)
A sincere thank you. I believe you’ve sent me off in the right direction and have given me a foundation to grow from.
I love your videos! Oh, and the sweet part about your puppy, that was great too!
This video is in detail,helped me a lot thanks cathrin !
Thanks Catherine, love your videos! I'm wishing everyone blessings on the UA-cam journey this year :)
Thanks! Ill subscribe if you do!
👍
thank you
The best time to start is always now, inspirational as always Cathrin!
I LOVE making videos and I got 50 subscribers in the past week. That doesnt sound like much but it makes me so happy because all the effort I put into editing starts paying off! Maybe u can check me out and tell me what u think?:)
Thanks for the tips, will follow a couple of them. Good luck for all who just starts :)
I am just now looking into starting a UA-cam channel and your videos have been so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you, I have been having trouble starting a UA-cam channel, I was needing support and knowledge, thank you
Can't wait to watch! I've had a YT channel forever but it's only now started doing better with your tips! ❤
oh that's so awesome to here!
One of the more informative videos I've seen all year. Thank you!
Boy, this was so good. Thank you, Cathrin.
PS: Your dog is cute
I started vlogging when I was 14 years old because I really wanted to be a vlogger so badly and then my classmates made fun of me, so I stopped. Not just because of that, it's because I can't think of any content that I am comfortable with LOL or I haven't chosen my niche yet. But now that I am 17, I can tell that starting vlogging helps me be better in editing, planning, and etc., especially when creating videos at school. Even though I stopped not uploading to UA-cam anymore, I realized that it really helps me a lot in terms of experience, editing style, and what not to do and should do in making videos. Maybe soon, I will create videos again connected to my plans in my mind because this is one of my teenage dreams.
You got this
Can we talk??
I’m 14 and in eighth grade any classes or stuff I should do I can become a UA-camr successfully
I started this year 🙌🏻 I hope I can accomplish what my goal is 🧡
Just started and I’m so excited! ♥️🙏🏼
Thank you for the fast track!!! So amazing 😇
I'm not going to quit UA-cam. I don't know how to quit, I only know how to get better.
Yes! That’s the attitude! Good luck❤️
@@LifeWithJules04 Thank you 😊
yes girl keep on going , i'm planning on launching in the next 2 weeks
@@styledbygeorgy8781 Great!! I’d definitely check you out 💕. Welcome, UA-camr!
You are so awesome.Giving up should never be the option:).Good luckk!!
Great tips... 2020 was the year I started making videos to prove I could be consistent. 2021 is the year I want to grow my channel. I'm learning so much from successful influencers like yourself. Three keys I got from this specific video are around creating a channel brand, the idea of making unique content, and the quality that makes me different as a creator. I think I have been making unique content with an angle that others are not doing, but that's not obvious from the way I've been branding my channel or positioning my videos. Thanks for those tips! I'll definitely be exploring your catalog of videos to learn more!
Thanks for the video! This is so helpful and it’s great to hear such transparent tips from a successful creator, such as yourself!
I just found out when searching for tips on how to start in UA-cam. Thank you soooo much for this video, it was fun to watch but also very "hands-on" and practical!
👏🏻 YES 👏🏻 YES 👏🏻 YES 👏🏻 fantastic video, Cathrin! You nailed it! I can’t decide which tip made me clap harder while watching 😂. Well done and now I’m going to go and share this video with everyone who asks me about starting a UA-cam channel. ❤️🎉
I agree
Cathrin is very lucky to have someone like you on her side.
yes yes yes...
I subscribed to you just now,
Hi, can anyone help me reach 1k subscribers? Give me some love guys. 💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
“No one is you, and that is your superpower.” Is very inspiring 🥺🙌 sml ♥️♥️♥️
Your turn
A few of these tips I lucked out when I was thinking of stuff for my channel. Plus I am still working on it and haven't done my first video yet. There are a couple things I think would be beneficial to my channel beginnings. Thank you for your video I really think it is going to make my channel much better. I found this when googling for setting up my channel but I am excited to watch more of your videos. You are so personable. Keep it up!
Thankyou so much Cathrin , youre the best
Where my newbies at? all in this together, we got this! 💛
Your turn
I had a couple of these tips in mind before watching the video, specifically about combining my passions into a niche. Either way, this video was incredibly helpful for a channel that I'll be creating relatively soon. (Not too soon before I know it's ready lol) So thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your tips.
To all newers we got this 🤗🤗
