“If you want it to become your full-time job, you can’t treat it like a part-time job or a hobby.” That really spoke to me 🙌🏻 I switched my mindset the last two weeks, and I’ve been working 8-10 hour days on my UA-cam channel between filming, editing, and educating myself (about how to grow, how to do thumbnails, etc). It’s hard-ass work, but it’s all worth it 💪
i love this 🤎 the biggest takeaway that i've gotten since starting my channel is how youtube really is the ✨long game✨. i've realized that i'm going to upload a bunch of videos that i've worked hard on for it to possibly only get like 2 views but that's just the way it is. you won't always get a payoff every video but if you really enjoy it, you'll eventually grow enough to where you will be consistently getting those views. it just takes time
Yes, yes to being a long-game. Put decent foundations in to start with clearly helps keep the early motivation going. And probably a few early 'fortunate' video/shorts results.
"People love to judge you, until you're successful, and then they want to be your friend." THIS. The fear of judgement held me back for a long time, but then I posted my first vid and said eff it LFG. Thank you for this!
I can’t stress this enough that part where you say you have to be so self motivated to keep yourself accountable to meet your own deadlines I can’t stress this enough is 100% on the money. This feels exactly like a job. I film and edit all of my stuff. Since I’ve started creating and taking it up a notch with my content trying to consistently improve I’ve noticed the time has went up drastically trying to create. I literally go to work for 8 hours to come home and work another 6 to 8 hours on my videos to try and get them done by my deadline. The journey I’m grateful for it’s one I enjoy because I’m investing in myself being my own boss and running my own business. I enjoy creating and doing what I’m doing and making my visions come to light. The algorithm recommended this channel to me and I’m grateful it did. Really helps me out. Thank you for making this
I love Kelly stamps too. She’s hilarious! 😂 I know tik Tok is popping off at the moment, I do find tik Tok fun but I come to UA-cam for that deeper connection that you get with long form content. Congratulations on 10k! You’re smashing it!!🥳👏🏽💖✨
Something I learned recently that really, really helped me recently, was "Do one thing each day that takes you closer to your goal" ❤. I think it really ties into what you said about the power of consistency, and thinking about what your goals are. Yes I want to grow my community, yes I want to eventually get monetized, but I can only do this if I'm consistently on the platform. So it really helps me day to day when I've decided on a posting day, to use the other days of that week to focus on filming, editing, thumbnail design etc. Now I'm like a month old new FETUS to UA-cam,😅😂so I have a longggggggggg way to go, but I'm proud of myself for finally starting, and hope that I can continue to be consistent and treat my channel like a full time job.💪 Thanks so much for this video! 🙌
It's so true about how fickle the audience is. I myself will back out of a video for many of the reasons you listed, most especially poor sound quality. Newer channels often have low volume issues, me being hard of hearing that's an immediate nope for me. Im also a fan of Kelly Stamps, small world 🥰
ahhh i feel this as a vlog channel! I started with beauty videos which i love doing and I think my subscribers love the most, but i LOVE making vlogs and travel vlogs- but they don't get me anywhere when it comes to growth. I loved these tips, thank you!
thank you for being so real. as someone who just started, it can be so easy to doubt or question if I'm making the right decisions but this encouraged me to keep going! I feel like I never see "smaller" creators sharing milestones/attainable goals so this was super helpful. also "going on a walk, no one cares. going on a walk in new york, everyone cares" 😭 truer words have never been said
you're welcome! the beginning is definitely the hardest part. i just watched your most recent reset and love your vibe! can't wait to watch more from you and see your channel grow ❤️
I just started my UA-cam channel a little over a month ago. And I’m exhausted. It’s so scary and challenging to be vulnerable and putting yourself out there. Every other day I want to quit. I have a full-time job as an attorney in Hollywood as well as two young kids and so I work on my UA-cam videos at night between the hours of 11 PM to 2 AM and on the weekend. And I have no idea if my channel will takeoff and it’s like you to read my mind and put you into my feed today. Thank you so much for this video it was exactly what I needed to keep pushing myself and to remind myself that it takes time so hearing about your growth and the time that it took to get to 10,000 subscribers was so helpful. I really like your videos and appreciate you. Alexis, I’m sending you lots of love. ❤️❤️
I can totally relate. I decided to start a youtube channel and went out and bought a $700 camera 📷 🙃 and quickly realized i had no idea how to use it lol... that was in 2019! I finally built up the courage to post a video last month (sept 2022) because i turned 35 and I made a primise to myself to step out of my comfort zone! And they suck so bad i havent even shared it with my family and friends! 😔 but what you said totally resonates with me. ...and giving up will only seal the fate of failure. Thanks for keeping it 💯 real
I watched 2 of your videos saying that "we will never know until 2-3months after that it blowed up", thats what keep me going too. thank you, I hope every small channel like mine keep committed and remember why we make the video and keep grinding!!!! dont give up!!
When I started my UA-cam Channel, I was so scared to tell anybody because I thought they would make fun of me or something like that. The only person I told about it was my boyfriend and he supported me in all the ways he could. After 5 Months and about 60 followers I started telling my family and friends and they are so proud of me and always compliment me when I post a video. That makes me so happy and really keeps me going. 4 Months later I now have 230 followers. And I'm so proud of myself ☺️
I like your channel, like you said, it was the whole nyc vibe & loving your new apartment!! You just seem genuinely real & youre not screaming into the camera!
Finally I've found tips that feel achievable 🥰 still finding my feet 17 months in and 381 subscribers. It's super tough but I enjoy it more since watching your videos ❤ thank you for your advice ❤
I am really looking forward to the day that ill sit down and share my youtube journey with my viewers and maybe encourage my fellow creators who'll be starting their journey by then.
Thank you so much for this info. I started my channel two months ago and felt discouraged for a few weeks plus went out on vacation, when I came back from my trip I had a few very nice comments that inspired me to continue, so I resonate with you struggling with lack of motivation. Congratulations on 10k subs!
I've been on my UA-cam journey for 6 months now and I haven't seen much success yet BUT I am enjoying it every step of the way and having fun with the process and that's what really matters. Thanks for the video ❤
Alexis, The content I create couldn't be more different then yours. I'm in the mountains in Colorado, I make Tractor, trail camera animal, and firewood cutting videos on my acreage at 7,500' elevation. I tried a series of videos and it hasn't went well...lol The youtube journey has been ever changing, and frustrating. However I appreaciate a couple of the points that you make, I have looked at many of the growth videos and you summized it perfectly channels with hundreds of thousands of subscribers saying how easy it is. My niche is very unique it seems the channels are all huge or tiny like mine. Thank you for the tips.😊
You made it to 10k! Congrats ❤️ been following for a while and really REALLY like you channel. Your content is thoughtful and funny. This video being a prime example.
I happened upon your video late last night (around 4am 😴) while uploading a UA-cam video of my own! I loved hearing your journey and getting to know your personality. I’ve shared your channel with my girlfriend - she’s actually just starting a channel of her own - so I think she’ll love hearing your perspective. 😊
What an amazing, informative video! See this is why I follow you because you are open and honest and every video that I have seen of yours is very interesting! I watch them from beginning to end!!! Love this, keep posting and growing 🙌🏽
Hi Alexis. I am also a new UA-camr and have been posting for the past year plus. I am currently at 1,700 subscribers and have posted 39 videos. I recently posted some nyc videos and did not note that they did well. Thanks for the advice. I like your delivery style.
Those UA-cam growth channels are hard to watch, they usually just sell some sort of analytics product or training course. This video is much more personal and helpful to watch, no bs just tips from a real UA-camr. Thanks for this 😊
I’m just starting out and these tips are really helpful! I created a UA-cam 10 years ago and deleted it because of self doubt. I’m happy to watch your journey, gives me motivation to stay consistent!
I really enjoy your content. I’ve liked watching you grow, I’ve been here for a while, so I’m enjoying what is going on for you. Congratulations on almost 10,000 subscribers!
These videos have really helped me get a better idea of what I am doing, how to get better, and what to realistically expect. THANK YOU! From a UA-cam newb.
Watching in feb 2023 and your sub count has tripled congratulations! Loved that this video showed up on my recommended, really enjoyed it and can’t wait to keep going, it can definitely be demoralising when you’ve gone through the self talk to push past judgement and take time editing to not see results you wanted.
We've watched quite a few of these UA-cam tips videos, but you shared such unique and actionable tips. Thank you and may everyone who watches this video reach 10k subs in the near future!
Thanks for this great video, Alexis. And you are so right. I'm tired of all of those people who start UA-cam tips channels because it feels like those online guru's who sell courses on how to make money online and the only way they make money, is by selling you that course. I've bought all of these things and only recently started making videos and I'm glad I did. Although those videos suck. I know. I just have to get used to being on camera. But it's also a great way to express your feelings in my opinion. Congrats on the 11.3K subscribers btw and I'm looking forward to see you reach 20K. Although those numbers are just numbers.
Fun watch! Just got my gaming channel monetized and decided to launch my personal UA-cam channel this week! In it for the end game and to build a name for myself 🙏🙏🙏🤙🤙🤙😁
I appreciate you making this video for us NEW newbies. My philosophy is to be committed to the process, not the outcome. I think I'm a little confused as to what made my first video get the most views as opposed to the others given that my first video has the worst edits... lol.
I was only just suggested your videos.....I love that you DID start from scratch. Its encouraging. It's hard on the UA-cam rollercoaster to keep motivated and to not get too discouraged. This was really good advice...THANK YOUuuuuuuuu! 💙💙.
This girl's funny! I am gonna watch her stuff so that I can learn from her! LOL! Hey, so what do you think of The Hamptons for vacation next Summer? WOMP! WOMP! WOMP!
Hey Alexis, i found out about your channel yesterday and watched a lot of your videos 😂 thank you for the great tips. In January I did 10 days Daily Vlog challenge which helped me a lot to create a system. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND series or challenges. They help you to figure out where to start and where to end, take 15 minutes everyday to find music, create a format for thumbnails, to get used to editing etc. Thank you inspiring me yesterday when I felt very low.
Thank you for these tips!! It's easy to get discouraged after not getting the results right away. I've learned consistency is key and I need to continue to put out content
okay i srsly loved this and agree wholeheartedly. I sometimes will even watch youtubers who i share different beliefs from but I like their personalities so I stick around :) Thanks so much for this video, and hope you reach 10k soon! I subbed from the intro b/c I loved the dark humor lol
You are just amazing. I've been trying to grow my youtube channel and I just found something or a reason to love doing it. I do find myself loving to edit videos nowadays. My dad-in-law asked one Tuesday morning if there was a new upload about her baby grand daughter. That made my day. Right now, I just post family vlogs because we want to personally consume it with friends and family. Something that we can catchup in a different way. Something that we can have fun together. So, I agree with loving youtube first before trying to make tons of money out of it
Found you 3 weeks ago from a UA-cam growth video and you've grown another 3k since then! Love your editing style and ability to deliver to the camera/audience - keep crushing it!
This is so random but I found your channel for searching up ‘Indonesian food’ ??? You probably won’t see this but I just wanted to mention that😂😂 I’m so glad I found your channel btw! You inspire me to keep it up, thank youuu
Love. Love. Love. this video!! Amazing breakdown and great info! This helps me out so much, also giving me some ideas!! Thank you :) Massive Congratulations on 10,000 subs. I’m only about 9.5K behind you ;)
Thank you so much for sharing from the perspective of a small channel! I found your channel a few days ago from your video on how much you made in your first year of being monetised. I then watched the full NYC move series so your strategy on creating videos for your non-subscribers and making series' obviously works! 😂
I'm nearly at 1300 subs in 7 months so it's totally doable. You have to keep posting and she is right your first 50 videos will suck. On my previous channel they did and on this channel I've put what I learnt forward and I'm already monetized within 5.5 months and things just keep going
I believe!!!! for some reason I'm feeling lucky like im going to blow up TOMORROW!!! Your words are so inspirational!!! A thank you🤩 a thank you very much!
Leaving a comment, just incase I blow up tomorrow. I appreciate the growing videos from a smaller creator like you, gives me something to kind of guide myself off of, thanks for the videos!
You are amazing! Don't stop what you are doing. Put more videos about how to grow on YT. Like what camera do you have, how to edit your videos, how you promote your channel etc.
Loving your content! I'm currently sitting at 490 subs and I'm at 1.5 years of posting one video a week. The majority of the growth has been in the last six months. There is nothing like the high of a video taking off. There is also nothing like the low of a slump. 😅 But as long as we're all enjoying what we're doing, I guess we're good. You've inspired me to focus more on SEO. Thanks!
I’ve been going about 20 months and haven’t hit that magic 1K yet 🤣 I’ve been at about 995 for a month. My lovely subbies say they like me but it’s so hard. I’ve decided I’m going to be consistent with certain things on certain days. I enjoyed your engaging delivery. Thank you
I DO feel like we're best friends & we're going to vacation together next summer 😍 come to ITALY! hehe thank you for this! Love your personality, as well, just subscribed 💛✨
I would love to see a video on how you create your thumbnails! I feel like they are always an after thought for me and I’m never happy with how mine turn out, I also don’t put the time and effort into them that I should
First time watching your video - thank you so much for the advice. I was so close to splashing (money I don’t have!) on a camera! I’ve watched enough “how to […] UA-cam” and I think I’ll give my iPhone a try 🤞🏾 Love the words of wisdom at the end there👏🏽
I really enjoyed this video, Alexis! I found it really encouraging, and I’m happy to report that I think I’m on the right track. 🤣 The tough love bits are so important too! I love the idea of considering if you’d continue even if you got demonetized. That’s a great way of checking in with yourself. Thanks for this! 💜 P.S. Congrats on almost reaching 10K! That’s huge!
I blew up with my 3rd video and was a bit scared cuz I was so new to this and had just started posting. I haven’t been too consistent since(been hard balancing everything). But this year I’m motivated to rediscover my love for making long form content again 🙌🏽
I started a UA-cam channel almost by accident and never really thought about get monetised. However after a few years 😉 I found I had about 800 subscribers and made a real push to up my game and get to 1000. 2 years later I am approaching 2000. Its not rapid growth, but much faster than it was for a long time and I intend to keep pushing. Great video. Funny and insightful. Thanks 😀 👍
This is such a great video! Thank you so much. The video really motivates me to not give up un doing what I like to do :)) I think you mentioned many many good points, that I also think about, like doing whatz you like for fun not for the money. Keep going !!
“If you want it to become your full-time job, you can’t treat it like a part-time job or a hobby.” That really spoke to me 🙌🏻 I switched my mindset the last two weeks, and I’ve been working 8-10 hour days on my UA-cam channel between filming, editing, and educating myself (about how to grow, how to do thumbnails, etc). It’s hard-ass work, but it’s all worth it 💪
Your videos are excellent. I have really loved it. I hope I can be succesful in my channel like you
Keep uploading! Don’t give up!
yes I agree with you! I am on that same mindset right now!
I just love your channel!
i love this 🤎 the biggest takeaway that i've gotten since starting my channel is how youtube really is the ✨long game✨. i've realized that i'm going to upload a bunch of videos that i've worked hard on for it to possibly only get like 2 views but that's just the way it is. you won't always get a payoff every video but if you really enjoy it, you'll eventually grow enough to where you will be consistently getting those views. it just takes time
Real talk!
thank you! it is definitely a long game, but so worth it!
Def long game!
Yes, yes to being a long-game. Put decent foundations in to start with clearly helps keep the early motivation going. And probably a few early 'fortunate' video/shorts results.
So true
"People love to judge you, until you're successful, and then they want to be your friend." THIS. The fear of judgement held me back for a long time, but then I posted my first vid and said eff it LFG. Thank you for this!
I can’t stress this enough that part where you say you have to be so self motivated to keep yourself accountable to meet your own deadlines I can’t stress this enough is 100% on the money.

thanks for watching! i totally agree with all of this, it takes hours of work and is a second full time job, but it is worth it!
I love Kelly stamps too. She’s hilarious! 😂 I know tik Tok is popping off at the moment, I do find tik Tok fun but I come to UA-cam for that deeper connection that you get with long form content. Congratulations on 10k! You’re smashing it!!🥳👏🏽💖✨
thank you so much! i am definitely a youtube girl over tik tok too!
Me tooo.... her dry humor and valuable content is epic

currently 2.5 months in and about 27% on my way to monetization. Thanks for the tips, great advice!
you're welcome! best of luck with your channel!
Ah just saw you hit 1000 subscribers I hope you come back for more videos soon 💖 keep growing!
It's so true about how fickle the audience is. I myself will back out of a video for many of the reasons you listed, most especially poor sound quality. Newer channels often have low volume issues, me being hard of hearing that's an immediate nope for me.
Im also a fan of Kelly Stamps, small world 🥰
Agreed, I am hard of hearing as well, and sound will get me off a video quick.
kelly stamps is the best!

Finally somebody who talks about personality. That is something that comes with the person.

Taking notes because my YT channel journey is loading again in 2023! Thanks for these amazing tips! ❤❤❤
These videos have really helped me get a better idea of what I am doing, how to get better, and what to realistically expect. THANK YOU! From a UA-cam newb.
It's nice to hear your experience in growing a channel and advice helping all of us here..
Watching in feb 2023 and your sub count has tripled congratulations! Loved that this video showed up on my recommended, really enjoyed it and can’t wait to keep going, it can definitely be demoralising when you’ve gone through the self talk to push past judgement and take time editing to not see results you wanted.

We've watched quite a few of these UA-cam tips videos, but you shared such unique and actionable tips. Thank you and may everyone who watches this video reach 10k subs in the near future!
Thanks for this great video, Alexis. And you are so right. I'm tired of all of those people who start UA-cam tips channels because it feels like those online guru's who sell courses on how to make money online and the only way they make money, is by selling you that course.
I've bought all of these things and only recently started making videos and I'm glad I did. Although those videos suck. I know. I just have to get used to being on camera. But it's also a great way to express your feelings in my opinion.
Congrats on the 11.3K subscribers btw and I'm looking forward to see you reach 20K. Although those numbers are just numbers.
Fun watch! Just got my gaming channel monetized and decided to launch my personal UA-cam channel this week! In it for the end game and to build a name for myself 🙏🙏🙏🤙🤙🤙😁
Fellow creator here, these tips are literal GOLD! thank youu
This was super helpful! I usually don’t watch videos without skipping through. I watched the whole thing!!
Awesome video! Thanks for the info, motivation and tips - all of your success is really well earned!!
I appreciate how frank you are with the start and becoming a UA-camr.
I appreciate you making this video for us NEW newbies.
My philosophy is to be committed to the process, not the outcome.
I think I'm a little confused as to what made my first video get the most views as opposed to the others given that my first video has the worst edits... lol.
I was only just suggested your videos.....I love that you DID start from scratch. Its encouraging. It's hard on the UA-cam rollercoaster to keep motivated and to not get too discouraged. This was really good advice...THANK YOUuuuuuuuu! 💙💙.
you're welcome! it definitely is a rollercoaster, but worth it!
This girl's funny! I am gonna watch her stuff so that I can learn from her! LOL! Hey, so what do you think of The Hamptons for vacation next Summer? WOMP! WOMP! WOMP!
Hey Alexis, i found out about your channel yesterday and watched a lot of your videos 😂 thank you for the great tips. In January I did 10 days Daily Vlog challenge which helped me a lot to create a system. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND series or challenges. They help you to figure out where to start and where to end, take 15 minutes everyday to find music, create a format for thumbnails, to get used to editing etc. Thank you inspiring me yesterday when I felt very low.
thank you for watching! i am so glad you are here!
I am a new UA-camr. You have showed me that I am not alone and I can do this 😊 thank you for giving me faith 😅
Thank you for these tips!! It's easy to get discouraged after not getting the results right away. I've learned consistency is key and I need to continue to put out content
you're welcome!!
okay i srsly loved this and agree wholeheartedly. I sometimes will even watch youtubers who i share different beliefs from but I like their personalities so I stick around :)
Thanks so much for this video, and hope you reach 10k soon! I subbed from the intro b/c I loved the dark humor lol
thanks so much for watching!
You are just amazing. I've been trying to grow my youtube channel and I just found something or a reason to love doing it. I do find myself loving to edit videos nowadays. My dad-in-law asked one Tuesday morning if there was a new upload about her baby grand daughter. That made my day. Right now, I just post family vlogs because we want to personally consume it with friends and family. Something that we can catchup in a different way. Something that we can have fun together. So, I agree with loving youtube first before trying to make tons of money out of it
Please make an updated how much you make from UA-cam video!! So encouraging & so helpful. Thank you🫶🏻
Found you 3 weeks ago from a UA-cam growth video and you've grown another 3k since then! Love your editing style and ability to deliver to the camera/audience - keep crushing it!
motivation to keep on keeping on :)
Yess keep going! You’re almost at 100 subs. That’s amazing!
I felt the exact same way watching videos from UA-cam tips channels
If you like a creator. Don’t skip the ads. Watch up to 30 seconds of them. That’s a good way to support someone
This is so random but I found your channel for searching up ‘Indonesian food’ ??? You probably won’t see this but I just wanted to mention that😂😂 I’m so glad I found your channel btw! You inspire me to keep it up, thank youuu
Love. Love. Love. this video!! Amazing breakdown and great info! This helps me out so much, also giving me some ideas!! Thank you :)
Massive Congratulations on 10,000 subs. I’m only about 9.5K behind you ;)
you're welcome! good luck on continuing to grow your channel!
Thank you so much for sharing from the perspective of a small channel! I found your channel a few days ago from your video on how much you made in your first year of being monetised. I then watched the full NYC move series so your strategy on creating videos for your non-subscribers and making series' obviously works! 😂
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing! Congrats on doing so well! Almost 10,000 is amazing!
thank you!
'Long form content is fighting for it's life' 👏🤲 Very true! 😂
Thanks for this - it's very thorough and informative! I'll definitely take note of your tips on my UA-cam journey! :) Thanks again!
Honestly the best video that I saw about this topic. Thank you so much for sharing !!
Thank you for filling ‘that gap’ Alexis
I'm nearly at 1300 subs in 7 months so it's totally doable. You have to keep posting and she is right your first 50 videos will suck. On my previous channel they did and on this channel I've put what I learnt forward and I'm already monetized within 5.5 months and things just keep going
Just went through my first 50 (including shorts)
Theres definitely a learning curve!
😄
RT!
I believe!!!! for some reason I'm feeling lucky like im going to blow up TOMORROW!!! Your words are so inspirational!!! A thank you🤩 a thank you very much!
Leaving a comment, just incase I blow up tomorrow. I appreciate the growing videos from a smaller creator like you, gives me something to kind of guide myself off of, thanks for the videos!
I almost exclusively watch “how to UA-cam” niches and you’ve shown up twice on my feed now with the UA-cam conversation videos!
Thank you so much for sharing your tips! I’ve been looking for a video like this for so long 🫶🏽
I have really admired this topic. İt is so useful for everyone. By the way, your black dress is amazing. You look so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
You are amazing! Don't stop what you are doing. Put more videos about how to grow on YT. Like what camera do you have, how to edit your videos, how you promote your channel etc.
I looove your UA-cam style. You’re so personable and knowledgeable. New subbie! 😊 I’m trying to grow to 1k and am currently almost halfway there!
So true!! Thanks for the encouragement!
Loving your content! I'm currently sitting at 490 subs and I'm at 1.5 years of posting one video a week. The majority of the growth has been in the last six months. There is nothing like the high of a video taking off. There is also nothing like the low of a slump. 😅 But as long as we're all enjoying what we're doing, I guess we're good. You've inspired me to focus more on SEO. Thanks!
Saving video to check out later. Thanks for doing this.
I’ve been going about 20 months and haven’t hit that magic 1K yet 🤣 I’ve been at about 995 for a month. My lovely subbies say they like me but it’s so hard. I’ve decided I’m going to be consistent with certain things on certain days.
I enjoyed your engaging delivery. Thank you
I DO feel like we're best friends & we're going to vacation together next summer 😍 come to ITALY! hehe thank you for this! Love your personality, as well, just subscribed 💛✨
I would love to see a video on how you create your thumbnails! I feel like they are always an after thought for me and I’m never happy with how mine turn out, I also don’t put the time and effort into them that I should
Wow, you have grown so much in the last week even!
SPOT ON YES
Thanks for this video,good advice 👍🏽 Most def gonna help.
I really like that this is actually realistic and not about getting to 100k in 6 months lol.
so so helpful! been needing one of a smaller creator! such good tips, thank you :) 💛
Thanks for the tough love and your insights!!!
Hi! New subscriber here! Just found you this morning and I’m exciting to binge watch! This is a great video! 🙌💖
First time watching your video - thank you so much for the advice. I was so close to splashing (money I don’t have!) on a camera! I’ve watched enough “how to […] UA-cam” and I think I’ll give my iPhone a try 🤞🏾
Love the words of wisdom at the end there👏🏽
I’ve found posting UA-cam shorts has helped my channel grow.
I really enjoyed this video, Alexis! I found it really encouraging, and I’m happy to report that I think I’m on the right track. 🤣 The tough love bits are so important too! I love the idea of considering if you’d continue even if you got demonetized. That’s a great way of checking in with yourself. Thanks for this! 💜
P.S. Congrats on almost reaching 10K! That’s huge!
thank you so much!
I blew up with my 3rd video and was a bit scared cuz I was so new to this and had just started posting. I haven’t been too consistent since(been hard balancing everything). But this year I’m motivated to rediscover my love for making long form content again 🙌🏽
Very informative, thanks for sharing 🥰
Oh great intro, funny, I’m gonna steal that and rework it.
I started a UA-cam channel almost by accident and never really thought about get monetised. However after a few years 😉 I found I had about 800 subscribers and made a real push to up my game and get to 1000. 2 years later I am approaching 2000. Its not rapid growth, but much faster than it was for a long time and I intend to keep pushing. Great video. Funny and insightful. Thanks 😀 👍
Smashed the like for you
Hi Alexis I loved this video and I’m gonna keep coming back to it as I revive my channels ❤️
Enjoy your insight on being a UA-camr. It’s way more relatable, than say a UA-cam growth channel. Thanks, and congrats on your new milestone 👏
