I appreciate the humble reminder that chaos isn’t a plan
Very true
Hi Katie, thank you for your transparency. It’s interesting because being a content creator seems like an easy breezy lifestyle, but in reality it requires so much work, meticulous planning and execution. Granted you’re doing what you love so I’m sure it’s very rewarding. You inspire me. Thanks again for your helpful content!
The thought and creative that you put into these videos is insane , standing ovation my dear 👏. I struggle so much with my channel. Because I’m not consistent, but I’m not consistent because I don’t have a routine or schedule. So I love watching your content to learn how to get ny ass there lol. Thanks for always teaching us everything!
I feel the same way.
I just want to give a BIG shout-out to Shelby for making the newsletters! I am a subscriber of the newsletter and it is BY FAR, THE MOST informative newsletter I (actually) read. I've started to take the IG trend topics mentioned in the newsletter and schedule them into my Notion content calendar so that I can refer back to them when I need an idea for one of my content topics. It's definitely taken the stress out of content planning and has inspired me to put my own spin on the suggestions mentioned in the newsletter. Thank you Katie for always producing quality and really useful content for your viewers (and newsletter subscribers). If anyone is still sleeping on subscribing to your newsletter, I hope they read this comment. ☺
thanks so much!! I will definitely pass that along to Shelby :) so happy to hear you find the newsletter valuable!
Thanks for this comment!!
I checked the Creatorly website and couldn't find a newsletter 🕵♂ Lol - what newsletter are you mentioning here? I'd love to check it out.
Loved this sooo much! You don’t just tell us what to do, you show us - so powerful. Thanks for all the all you put into each one.
Omg I love that you mentioned the second guessing halfway through making a video, that is so oddly reassuring that you still feel that way 😅 also yayyy learning Spanish!! 🎉
That’s one of the best video I have watched about UA-cam channel!
You’re so transparent and real.
Tysm
I could watch you for hours!
Would you make one more video like that?
I’m sure your weeks are different!
I struggle a lot with planning, to do list and as much as those “be consistent” videos are encouraging, this video really showed me tips I haven’t ever thought about!!
Please do more videos like this showing your weekly schedule !!!
You’re such an inspiration 🫶🏽 I’ve been enjoying your videos for a while but lately I’ve been binge watching them 💜 I’m so happy for you and the life you’ve created for yourself.
I loved this video a lot! Had some vlog vibes, but also super interesting to see how you actually structure your week in a realistic way.
Katie for me this is the most helpful video of all your videos! I tend to micromanage time, fall off the wagon, and get frustrated, but the weekly plan has helped so much over the last few weeks. Thank you so much ❤
I love this! As someone who just became a full-time creator, the first thing I do when I wake up is work, but it's nice to be reminded that having a routine works best.
You have know idea how much your videos have changed my content creating flow for the better. Thank you so much, Katie!
So much value packed in this video, especially for newer content creators. Than you, Katie! Can't wait to check out your vanlife adventures.
loved this video. i love watching your videos especially these kind because it gets me motivated and helps me figure out a schedule for myself. working for yourself is challenging when it comes to set times for things to get done. its all just a scramble in my head.
hey!! Just wanted to tell you that I love your content! Super interesting, clear, and the way you are, your personality! It's a real pleasure to watch you! thank you for your honesty and authenticity!
It's so important to have a schedule in place, as always loving your videos
totally! i can't live without a structured schedule haha
Hey also from Canada! Love the plastic bag diffuser hack on the LED light 😂. This is so helpful to see I recently set myself a schedule based loosely off your "starting from zero 2023" video and it's so nice to have an actionable plan. I know I need to just get filming/uploading in order to see what works but it's still really helpful to see others' workflow! Would love to see your grow on instagram plan too I'm taking a break from there to focus elsewhere as it's exhausting on IG! Thank you for your insights!
YAY Katie this was sooo helpful! Thank you for sharing! Being able to see your whole process day by day was amazing and you sharing your vulnerable side about being nervous with content was so relatable! Happy Travels 😍❤
This video was so inspiring! It's cool to see how you organize your week and how much care you put into the whole process. I'm currently figuring out how to get back into content creation as I miss it so much, but the thought of starting is honestly overwhelming. I took some notes on recurring weekly tasks to break it down into a more manageable routine on top of my full time job and I'm feeling excited and energized to move forward! Thank you Katie!
Helpful video to a newbie! Thank you!! So glad to hear other people have self doubt as well, but knowing that pushing through is essential. Thank you Katie!
I really enjoy Katie’s content motivates me to continue creating and I’ve learned so much here 💙✨🙌🏽 I still in the learning process but it has been really helpful. I adore that she is learning Spanish ❤ keep going girl 🙌🏽
you are literally my comfort channel ❤ loved this one!
having a routine of getting ready helps so much for me to feel like I’m really working and focused!
Katie, I have always to create a UA-cam channel with the amount of content I have. I was lost and then I stumbled upon your channel. You Are so inspiring. I am gonna do it now! Make it happen!
Honestly you’re one of my fav creators because you’re so natural and down to earth. I’m struggling so much to get over myself to start a channel as well and every time I watch your videos I get motivated but than get back to overthink it again 😢 anyway.. long story short - you’re great! Don’t doubt yourself. Lots of love from London
I loved this video format! 😊 It was so nice to come along with you and your videos always feel so relatable!
Hey Katie, been watching your videos for a while, never really comment before. I just want to say I'm learning a lot about being a YT creator from you. And I appreciate all the great info and links to find great products to help me be a better content creator. So, kind of you. I truly enjoy your videos. 😀
LOVE watching this!
Hii!! I just wanted to say I took your Domestika class and thats how I found about you and now I'm binge watching your channel ❤ all your content has given me the energy and confidence to starting a channel / content creator business of my own. Thank you ! I want to subscribe to the newsletter 😊
Made it to the end of the video 😍😍😍 thank you I am so happy I found your channel. I am currently re entering the social media world again and content creation world so you have been a beacon of light thank you ❤
Love your content! So helpful and I appreciate how you are honest about how you’re feeling along the way because I can relate to those feelings on those not-so-productive days but trying to be kind to oneself. Thank You!
Thank you for showing us and walking us through. I love it!! I so love your content and your videos.😍❤💚💛
I am newly discovering your channel, but I am so impressed with how thorough, and well thought-out your videos. Extremely informative, AND aesthetically pleasing to watch. Really really awesome. And sharing your creative tools, tips, and tricks with the interwebs?!
You're kind of a superhero.
Thanks for the great video, keep creating. You're really good at it, and I hope to learn as much as I can. 😊
Hey Katie, always a joy to tune into your channel!
Katie, you really are amazing. You do such a great job with your videos and I inspire to organize myself like you. Plus thank you for bringing the reality into how much work and effort all of this seems to take. I'm going to go take a deep breath now, and figure out my weekly plan. I'm just starting a channel and you have given me so much help. Thank you so much, Christina
Hey Bestie! Yes I made it all the way through. Loved this one. It is so helpful and you shouldn't worry too much about which video will go viral. All your voseos help someone and thats whats important. Thank you again!
Thank you, Katie, for sharing your expertise in such a clear and relatable manner. I would love to hear more about growing your two new accounts- as I will soon be attempting this myself. Best wishes and continued success and happiness!❤️✨
Hello Katie, I'm only starting out being a videographer and the content that you have in the vids that I have sen actually give me a greater foundation to expand my knowledge which I super appreciate and feel more confident to learn and try new things :) Thanks and keep up the amazing work
I'm a Permanent Make Up Artist in NYC and my job has me doing SO much content creation. I love getting inspired by your routine and I've really niched down to a SUPER similar routine! Your purple smoothie looks delish! Love the content - here for the vibes 💗 xoxo - Marlo
Katie, I wanted to tell you that I have 25 YT videos open in my tabs, and I was very un-productively flipping between them - getting distracted and being a general scatterbrain. Then before I realized it, I had finished your entire video in one watch. So... kudos to you for the storytelling. I watch most of your videos, and I really enjoyed this format. I love your tactical how-to videos too, but something about this one obviously stopped me in my tracks! Hope you're having (had?) a great trip.!
Great content, Katie! I would love to see your journey of growing the Katie & Dan in a Van. I'm enjoying this channel as I contemplate starting my own channel. I'm a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom and as my kids start to leave home, I'm searching for what comes next. My next career will definitely be on line. Thank you so much for making fantastic content that is easy to follow, filled with valuable advice, and so honest and real. Keep up the terrific work.
Love love this video! I don't know how you manage so many different social channels at the same time: I find UA-cam, Tiktok and Insta so overwhelming! Love the working week vlog content x
I started taking my UA-cam channel more seriously recently & your videos have been so helpful 🖤
Couldn’t agree more that getting ready helps so much!
thank you for this! recently found your channel and loving it :)
I love the newsletter! Shout out to Shelby 🥳🙌🏾
I love this video Katie! I want to work up to creating an art vlog series, but was having some struggles lol so this kind of daily/weekly vlog video is super helpful.
I’ve been so much more productive on UA-cam, in large part because of your helpful and actionable videos 💃🏾✨🖤
Heyyy 👋🏽 Seeing you go thru your content creation routine let’s me know my little beginning set up is right where it needs to be. Thanks Katie! Now to master the B-roll!
Hey! Fellow creator from Canada!! Nice to see Canadian content creators :) We just started our creator journey & loving all the helpful tips! 🤗
Heyyy BFF! Yes, I stayed to the end. 😂 Having never created a video for UA-cam before, I appreciate a glimpse into your workflow. You make it look easy, but I can see it takes some discipline and tenacity to keep focused and productive with so much going on. I appreciate your honesty in where your challenges lie. Everything seems like a challenge to me, so from here it looks like you have all your balls in the air. Bravo! 🍾👏🥳
hey bestie!! hehe thanks so much, I appreciate that! ❤️
Loved this vid! Was so helpful to see how you organize your weeks! Also good for you for doing some self care on Thursday!
Hey! I appreciate your content so much. I've been struggling with time management as a creator, so I enjoy seeing the systems that work for other people :)
Wow Katie! How did I just found out you're canadian! ❤ Love this! I'm not canadian-born but I live here for the past 5 years so it's cool seeing this! Love your content! ❤
So glad I came across this video. You were so informative and inspiring!!
This is so transparent and ho nest and i love it. Thankyouuuuuu
I just found your channel and I love it! So much valuable and helpful information. Thank you! 💕
Loving these kind of videos:) and your hairstyle with hair clip totally rocks:D
I love the idea of listening to your background music while editing to feel the vibe, I might start trying that. I also generally respect that you edit your own videos and not hired an editor, there's nothing wrong with hiring one of course! But I do admire those who take passion in their own editing and still manage to have time for other things. As always Katie, thanks for the wonderful content!
thanks so much Tara! I've tried here and there to get help with editing, but I ended up realizing that it's my favourite part of my job! i love editing more than I love filming haha so I would be sad to outsource it
I wanna see the van and thank you for this video as well really helped me decide how I'm going to create my routine, I love that especially in the morning you just wake n keep it mindfully Lokey, breakfast and a book 👍🏽
I'm not even nearly a full-time creator, and I probably won't ever be - but I'm still serious about social media and my content so this video helps me get perspective. Thanks Katie!
Heyyy gf! I started creating content for my travel page as of jan 1, 2024 and I really appreciate this vid! Super helpful to see someone else’s process. Also somehow you managed to make working mostly on my computer all week compelling and interesting so kudos to you 🙌🏼😅
Thank you for posting this. Its very helpful and gives me some things to try.
Oh hey there! Ha, I love your videos, and as someone who went to school in KW, I love the little references to "uptown" and such.
Loveeeee the style of this video!!! So beautiful and creative AND helpful WHAT ‼❤
Great info! I love seeing how you structure you're week!
This video truly motivated me to get started with my content creator journey. I needed this. Your work, your vision - is truly inspiring. Keep up the great work! You got yourself a loyal subscriber.❤
thank you so much, that's so kind! 💕
Love your channel Katie, have a great day😊
Really loving the advice and examples you give in your vid’s. I’m just starting my journey to hopefully become a full time content creator and these are really helpful and encouraging. ❤
Awesome video 💕 i loved the reminder to take some time in the morning, i’ve been guilty of rushing to my computer as first thing lately… and on the long run i dont think it is healthy. So thank u!
I am learning so much from you and I appreciate your content 💜
hey katie, i def stayed till the end of this very informative video. you always offer such amazing tips &n ideas, plus you're such a natural, i feel like we're"kind"of chatting! LOL i'm a beginner content creator, i taught in my previous life, then had my kids😍😍, and now that they're a little older I'm enjoying this. i've been watching your videos for a while, this is probably my 1st time writing. your vlog for the kodak camp trip was so good, it brought tears to my eyes! (what can i say, i was happy for you), and I'm a sensitive mom! thanks for all your wonderful & entertaining content! ~laur 🤩
Thank you SO MUCH for making these videos
Heyyyyy!! Love this video, so cool to see how your week goes!
Hi Katie, thank you so much. I have a problem managing my work routine then I found your video it helps me so much. Thanks.
Your videos are so helpful! ❤ Some of the best advice, and you give such clear examples. Thank you 🥰 Stuff I can actually use 🙌
Right when I'm feeling stuck and walking in circles with my social media, KATIE DROPS A NEW VID ♥
I love the motivation, thank you as always!
thank you for watching, Tess! ❤️
Loved this video so much! 💜
Hi Katie! My name is Lucia and I have absolutely just fallen in love with your channel, your vibe, and the incredible content you share with the whole world! (I've been on kind of a binge of at least 5 of your videos and I finally realized I needed to say "Hi!") 😅🙂 I am just filling up my notebook with notes right now as I desperately try to figure out a plan for my new small business marketing strategy! I'm subscribed now and super excited to see what you create next! Thank you for being so awesome!
Thanks so much! This really helped me gain some perspective and ideas on how I can organize myself and my channel better.
This was EXTREMELY helpful!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Katie is my go to girl! Such a hard worker. Wonderful video
❤️❤️❤️
Oh my gosh, I'm the same way about my self-doubt during the actual filming process. (Not for this channel, but for my HeartBreathings channel) I feel confident in the outline process, but then I doubt myself and want to immediately start over and rerecord everything when I'm in the thick of it. Glad to know I'm not alone.
Minnesoooooota! Yay. Also, thank you so much for sharing your process
Loved this one. Thanks for sharing your week!
This is such a nice “day in the life” video. It’s a good reminder that YouTubing is hard work!
This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and you are so sweet and such a hard worker and intelligent and Jesus just loves you girl. He is your strength and your rest. And He has given you so many gifts to be a really successful entrepreneur! He just adores you girl and His thoughts about you are just bountiful and blessed🙏 anyway, loved this and you friend! 💜
To hear the at you question yourself mid filming is soooooo relatable. Oof. Thank you for your content! ❤
Loving these vids!
Thank you for everything you share! 💜☺️
Hey girl! Love this video as always. Safe travels.
Hey!!! I always love the day in the life! They are super cool 😎.

So helpful! Email marketing is SO powerful
Thank you! I've been wanting a video about this!!!
OMG! Just saw a Domesitka advertising with you as the course creator for UA-cam! Congratulations!! That's so awesome!!
Dropping a hey! Loving your content. I’m a new creator and the specifics you give are really helpful and comforting. Have a great trip!
hey hey! I'm so glad to hear that :)
Heyyy! Always watch 'til the end. 😁

the timing on this is IMPECCABLE i was just trying to figure this out an hour ago

I am enjoying your content always! 😊
Love this! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for that video! I just hit 1000 subscribers on YT and I’m still a noob, but your content helps me a lot as I have so many things I want to create at once. Often I just end up getting too overwhelmed.. helps a lot to see how you work and it inspires me a lot! 🥰
