Me girl 😂. I have seen people nich down so much and am like how many time times can you talk about this nich and keep finding interesting things to talk about.
I’m one of those people who was thinking it’s too late, but God put an idea in my spirit and I’m just gonna be obedient. I’m not into posting on social media so this is going to stretch me out of my comfort zone. I appreciate your tips. They were helpful. I think I’m going to be watching the rest of your videos!☺️ Keep growing and helping others. Be blessed.
God keeps bringing me back to starting a YT channel too and it’s actually really comforting to know I’m not the only one who hasn’t started it yet either 😅❤️
This is me too. I was told in 2020 but I started something on Instagram. But now I really feel like I am going to start the RUclips. Glad to know I am not alone on this
God's been putting this on my heart as well, and he's been preparing me to do it. It's awesome to see that he's been calling other people to talk about him as well. ❤🙌
2023 is the year for me to grow my RUclips channel with the help of Erin! I’ve been growing my page as a hobby but I’m over trying to keep up with IG. Videos are a joy for me to create and I’m excited to take this to another level
I just started my RUclips and I do weekly vlogging (for now ) an I had to just do it . I am a person that consistently research an try to make everything perfect but I just did it and went for it. I’m learning to stay focused and be consistent. Thank you for your tips
I’ve been doing RUclips for a minute now, but still appreciate these videos as a reminder on how to innovate my content. This year I’m focused on creating quality content I’m genuinely proud of. Not likes, not subscribers, but simply creating art 🎬
“Be yourself, everyone else is already taken” -Oscar Wilde. Learned so much on brand building from Erin within the past year. My biggest takeaway is authenticity + consistency over everything. Great video. I took notes.
Hi Erin, this is so helpful and definitely on time. I am wanting to retire within the next 2.5years from a 33 year career. I am an introvert but really want to start a 2nd career after I retire doing something that I Love, which is sewing and embroidering. Watching your videos is really helping to build my confidence. 🙏🏾. TFS
Definitely fear of the unknown and editing has been holding me back for 7 years. I’ve never taken a risk because I’ve always been so comfortable in life. But I don’t want to just be comfortable anymore and I know you tube is something I really want to do and I’m ready to put in the work but just trying to get over the fear part
I just started my channel and I’m still figuring out my niche. But starting was enough to keep me going so I’m excited on growing and improving ! Thanks for the tips
As a small content creator for RUclips, I know how hard it is to gain traction at the beginning. Like many of you guys, I was tired of creating quality content day after day and getting only a few hundred views on my best days. Buying views was my next move. I have never regretted it. Not only I get quality views for pennies, but those views also affect the algorithm and sometimes my videos go viral and get 4-5 times the initial amount of views. I use Famester for now, it works miracles!
The advice on the niche was SPOT ON!! I grew quickly by hyper-niching and now that I want to switch up and expand my content, I’m having a harder time than if I would have stayed a little more broad and grown at a slightly slower pace.
I love this advice. I’m beginning the RUclips world this year & I want to get more into the vlogging lifestyle. I definitely want my audience to be interested in me as a whole because I have different sides to me such as a nurse, being into fashion, traveling, cooking etc & I had a fear of not being able to show all these different niches.
I almost started yt back in 2014 and it makes me sad that I let my self doubt and fear of what people thought hold me back. I could’ve been in a different place by now. I’m here now, baby! Thanks for the tips, girl 🖤🖤🖤
JUST WANT TO SAY TO ANYONE WHO IS GOING THROUGH SOMETHING KEEP BELIEVING,& BELIEVE & TRUST IN HIM Keep trusting God , Keep Your Faith , Keep Praying , Keep going to church ,keep listening to worship music, & keep reading the Bible ,& and remember , The Lord is Bigger Than your Problems , Everything going to be ok , just keep praying & talking to him ,💕💕MAY GOD BLESS YALL& EVERYONE IN JESUS NAME AMEN 💕😊
I DID IT ‼️ I have been watching your channel for a while now, and I've finally decided to start my own channel. I'm really excited to get started and I hope it goes well! I just wanted to thank you for being such a great inspiration and motivating me to pursue my passion. Your content has been so helpful and I look forward to sharing my own content with the world.
My channel grew alot by posting more than once a week but I still went back to once a week and focused more on high quality video and audio! That has helped my channel the most. I am still in a niche I suppose but I still feel like I post what I want. At first I felt people were following me for the information, but so many people tell me they follow me because they love watching my story and want to see how successful I will be... Your videos are so helpful!
This really helped I was worried that I was doing too much with my channel since I'm just getting started. However, after listening to you I feel more comfortable with showing more of myself to reach my brand persona. Thanks Erin!💖
Put the YOU in RUclips I love that Erin! I started my channel in 2014 as fitness now it's cooking etc. I'm working on getting 100 subs! lol I just have to take some of your advice and get to it! Thanks so much Erin for your help!!! I really appreciate it! :)
This is such valuable information. I am a Creative Entrepreneur and I used to think it had to be one niche. I am super versatile in who I am and I felt so confined to ONE thing. Thank you for this. You're awesome, Erin. 🖤
I am on it!!!! Thanks for the great advice! Ive got videos stored from 8-10 years ago and was just scared to upload.... and finally a month ago, i just started uploading videos.... new videos lol
I am grateful for this video, thank you! I felt so stuck because all I heard was narrow down to one niche! And who I am is not narrowed down into one thing! A Target Persona is so key!
This is very helpful! I just started my channel a month ago! I definitely want the video on niches! I love that you said not to focus so much on my niche because.. I haven't! And it was strategic on my part.. I wanted ppl to get to know me! Thanks for this it was confirmation for me 💕
Yay for the no niche! I feel having to niche down actually stops so many creators cause they feel they can’t show many aspects of themselves! I appreciate it ❤
I literally just started on here and I've gotta say; it's perfect timing for me! Repetition is a key point. I'll definitely pick a catchy line and stick with it. And optimization apps are what you say they are, needed! 15 minutes well spent.
Hi Erin! Just joined your Ebrand club last night and super excited for all the programs you have to offer. You are really out here changing lives. Many blessings looking forward to the next live!
Yes please with the video on the niche & persona.. I think I’m more in the persona more then finding my niche. I feel like everything you talked about in this video I’m doing but not really seeing any improvement.😩 I feel like I’m still missing something. I’m still going though I’m not giving up. Thanks for this info 💕
Thanks Erin! I've really struggled to produce one video or more a week. I'm getting my stuff together and hopefully I can be more consistent and hit my growth goals!
This was so helpful and relieving! I’ve had a hard time with the “pick a niche” thing forever and have found it so overwhelming. Erin, the perspective you painted about centering the content around the whole person unlocked a whole bunch for me. Thanks so much for creating these videos!
I love your content, it's so helpful and straightforward! But my biggest hurdle when it comes to being consistent on my channel is editing. Editing can take me so much time, and because I'm working with limited time during my week (i have a physically sutrenuous job where my hours are not consistent) i find myself choosing relaxation over editing. It's a struggle but I want to be better.
Try outsourcing sometimes. I had to learn with other projects that it's ok to delegate. Try fiiver, if you have some extra funds. I'm sure they have some good video editors for youtube videos. :) Some people do good things and won't break the bank.
Hey Erin! Just wanted to drop in and tell you I am now at 4,300 Subbies! 2 years in. I tell ppl all the time it's scary, but what's even scarier is never trying and never knowing what could be. I am claiming to get to 10K by the end of this year. Thanks for all you do! Xoxo
This was sooooo good. You articulate yourself so well! You’ve always dropped gems that I believe helped me grow. The part I resonated with the most was not to be super niched down! I feeeeeeel that. And screaming like comment and subscribe. If they like it, they’ll Stick around.
As a new RUclipsr I was always saying like, comment and subscribe. Erin is always dropping gems for us. You just gained a new subscriber on your channel! Wishing you the best!
I love this video! Very helpful! Fear of just starting is my biggest setback! I feel like it’s so much to just getting started and the fear of failing.
I decided to start my channel all over again simply because I felt I was on the wrong track. I agree that not niching down too much is good. That's what I did in the beginning and then I realized that I also enjoy vlogging and doing fun stuff. Although I don't recommend starting over from scratch, I felt it was the best move for me to make. But not having too narrow of a niche is definitely a big one for me.
Erin, this video came up on my feed right on time. I’ve been wanting to start a YT channel for years now. Unfortunately, fear and self-doubt have kept me from pursuing that, but your video has definitely given me some great tips to start and grown my channel this year. Thank you! I would love to see a video differentiating between a niche and target persona. God bless!
This was such a great video Erin, I recently started my channel and from the beginning incorporating different niches that I am passionate about, instead of just committing to one. This one is so important for creators, I've followed many RUclipsrs throughout the years and unfollowed them later on, as their content no longer serves me any purpose and they haven't evolved with that information, where I still follow some RUclipsrs and creators who have evolved and this has helped me love their channel even more!
Such a great video Erin ! I started my channel last year and I have been challenging myself for sure ! It made me feel better that it's ok to have different content throughout my channel without having to zero in on a specific niche .
I just restarted my channel this year and I am excited to grow!!! I am consistently posting once a week and will start posting more frequently in 2023. Thanks for the tips
The hardest thing for me has been creating a space with good lighting and aesthetic in my apartment which has terrible lighting & I feel very limited to where I can "setup" and consistent. But nonetheless, I'm ready & I'm going to figure it out!
YES! I so appreciate this up-to-date advice. I've come across some creators who are giving outdated advice. As a small/new-ish RUclipst, it can be really confusing. Thanks again!! This video came up in my recommended feed, and I can't wait to check out some of your other videos.
This was recommended for me after spending days and nights watching Other ppl channels, you won’t believe I started a channel 2 yrs ago and stop uploading after my dad died, I def have to start back, thanks hun
LOVEEEE the advice about creating content for your target audience persona vs niching! It ives such scope for changing, pivoting & creating into the future, vs if you niche, like you said, the algorithm kind of puts you in that bucket and it's hard to get out of it!!
You are an angel. I almost gave up on myself because things were looking so bleak. Thank you for your service and advice. God is going to bless you beyond your wildest dreams. You have no idea how you inspire. I am old enough to be your mother but I have had some recent failures but refuse to give up on myself. Jeremiah 29:11 I know that God will prosper me and my future.
Definitely loved this video! It was very helpful! I started my channel last year February and wasn’t consistent and when I actually took it seriously it started to grow! I will be using all of these tips and have already started using majority of them. Thanks Erin 🖤
Hi! Thanks for sharing this video. My fear is just getting started. I feel like there's so much to learn (like all the things you mentioned) but I also know there's value in stepping out and just making it happen as there are things you will learn along the way. I'm working to push past the fear. :)
Hi Erin! Great tips. You have been growing consistently. Congrats!! I started in 2012, QUIT, and started again January 2020. My only regret is I quit!! I would upload and not release. There’s no telling where I would be now if I had not quit. I’m full stream now since 2020 and loving the growth. I love RUclips and I’m an older, over 50, RUclipsr now. I have been uploading at least one or two a week, sometimes three, and it’s working. Much continued success and Happy New Year!
Thank you for this video Erin. You are always dropping the gems on us and we appreciate you queen. I started my channel a little over a year and I’m now learning that I need to upload more then once a week so thank you for reaffirming that❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad you said to get to the point. I personally get very annoyed when I’m watching a video as bad they start out talking about random stuff that I don’t care about or they just take too long to talk about the topic of the video.
I know absolutely nothing about starting a RUclips channel but I want to help my husband start his channel. So, we’re learning together. Erin, thank you for your tips and insights.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! Right on time too! This is literally what I needed. I took full notes and everything lol. Sending you so much love.
I've been wanting to start my channel for years but I didn't wanna buy all that equipment and my channel didn't do well. This video gave me confidence and me and my home girl going for it, thank you so much.
Such a great video, Erin! I struggled with vloggin as a new RUclipsr because I felt like "no one knows me so they won't watch my vlogs." or I felt like I couldn't translate my full self before growing my platform based on a specific niche. This was very reassuring!
I remember when you had like 40k subscribers and you were talking this same stuff, I haven’t been here for a WHILE and WOW! 300k! She knows what she’s talking about!! 🙌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Hi , I started my first video yesterday 6/6/22 … I was scared at first … now I’m researching editing & trying to bring fun & interesting content… my vlog will mainly be a day in the life “Mom” , “wife” , “travel” , “food”… I love your videos. Thank You for sharing!
Erin, thank you for these tips! This was very helpful. My goal is to grow my youtube channel this year, so I am definitely going to implement what you shared!
I love these tips, thank you Erin for the hard work you put in all your videos! I am trying to grow my youtube channel this year, and I agree with your point about not niching down too much and just focus on my own persona. Wish me luck on my RUclips journey! I know it is going to be a long journey but its worth it!
Hey Ms. Erin I'm a older gentleman who's been contemplating starting my own RUclips channel _ I do some stand-up comedy, write Urban lit and have a wide variety of interest, hobbies, skill sets, life experiences which I plan to utilize to my benefit... Just wanna thank you for this video
Thank you for mentioning getting straight to the point and no long intros. I just discovered your channel . You are a beautiful soul. I appreciate your insight.
Erin! Thank you SO much! I have been taking notes and implementing things that you've been teaching about RUclips for some time now! I'm so excited to apply these tips & continue to see my channel grow. You really are the plug girl!!~
loved all the tips in this video... I was trying to grow my channel a few years ago and took a MAJOR break due to a variety of things but now I'm so determined to grow now that I'm back so thank you so much for this ! xoxo 💕💕
Timely video!! I just launched my channel on January 3rd, and my growth has been a bit slow, even for it being the first month. Thanks for these tips! 😀
Question - so about uploading more. What are your thoughts on uploading using the different RUclips features? I do one standard video a week, one short and tryyying to add in one live video to boost that number up without needing to edit more and more.
Hello Erin, Thank you for this super helpful tips. I came across your channel few days ago while searching for RUclips start up kits and I must confess you are doing an amazing job. I am international teacher, I moved to the US mid last year and I’ve always wanted to start a RUclips channel. I’m struggling with self doubts and confusion on how to basically start this journey.
Thank you sooo much Erin these tips are actually helpful. I love when I come across a video that doesn’t just sound like every other video I’ve seen. Seems like you actually took time to study what’s actually working 😊
Thanks for sharing my biggest thing is fear I’m scared to start my RUclips channel I want to but fear is holding me back.Thanks for all your incredible words.
Hey, I'm a micro RUclipsr (lol). My biggest issues when it comes to creating WAS feeling like I had to niche down, but this video reassured me. But now my main issues are 1. Knowing what content to make 2. What my brand is/who my audience is and 3. Marketing myself on other platforms. How did you become comfortable and insightful with these?
OMG!!! I am sooooo thankful that I found you. I needed you for such a time as this. Love the way you take time and illustrate and Demonstrate what you are teaching and sharing. God Bless you!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Erin! What a great video to come across! My YT channel is 4 months old and I feel like I’m just starting to get the hang of filming etc. A couple weeks ago I changed the format when I moved from art / Procreate / KDP tutorials to an art/ city guide series… and I’m having SUCH fun making these videos! Loved everything you said here! So inspiring and helpful 🙏🏻 Liking and Subscribing!
Hi Erin, I have been planning and preparing my RUclips Channel for about two years now, probably going on three. I have the basic essentials needed concerning equipment + persona + desire + target audience; however, it has been extremely difficult for me to carve out time to learn how to edit. Although I won’t allow my amateur editing skills hinder me from posting content, I know I will run into a brick wall if I commit to starting it today, or this week, or next month. The thing is, I am ready to begin and my desires are aligned. I just need help finding a way to build a schedule that works for me with my RUclips endeavors joining the mix! - hope you read this & LOVE you + your content!
I have this fear too, that I wont have time to get it all done since I still have a day job. My plan is to knock out like 4-8 videos on a Saturday and then Edit them on a Sunday. I will use a scheduler to release the edited videos and then on weekdays after work I will do small things for a couple hours like respond to messages, write down ideas, research trends, analyze my analytics and other maintenance things. I'm hoping that this schedule will work for me. Now to just get the courage to start 😳
To all the small RUclipsrs or new RUclipsrs do not give up. Keep going we can do this! The big RUclipsrs we’re once in our exact place. Anything is possible. Keep pushing, keep grinding. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Really insightful video! My biggest concern is fear, but also niche. I'm a very eclectic person. I love sports, I love comics, I love music, I love working out, I love my animals. I have a hard time picturing all of those things being thrown together and being successful lol
Thank you for this great video Erin! My husband and I started our channel in April of 2021, and the quality of the videos are good, as well as audience feedback and support, but the growth is not as fast as I expected. We post consistently every week, and just started trying shorts in addition to the longer videos. The editing takes so much time, I can’t swing more than one a week with my job and toddler. We are considering paying an editing service so can can produce videos faster. We are definitely committed. We know certain types of channels grow faster than others, so we are wondering if the niche just requires more time. Yes, we are interested in another video discussing target audience vs. niche. And is the audience a little broader with a family channel?
I love a polished, beautiful, well spoken natural sis!! Keep setting the bar high and breaking stereotypes!!! You remind me so much of a younger msvaughntv
Who else was super relieved when she said do not focus on one niche! 😍😍 I would definitely love to know more
Yesss girl!
@@hisfavvv 👏🏽

Yes! Bc everyone says to focus in a niche.
Me girl 😂. I have seen people nich down so much and am like how many time times can you talk about this nich and keep finding interesting things to talk about.

This is me too. I was told in 2020 but I started something on Instagram. But now I really feel like I am going to start the RUclips.

Being a RUclipsr Is the best if you are an introvert. It is a way of connecting with the world but from a distance.
Definitely fear of the unknown and editing has been holding me back for 7 years. I’ve never taken a risk because I’ve always been so comfortable in life. But I don’t want to just be comfortable anymore and I know you tube is something I really want to do and I’m ready to put in the work but just trying to get over the fear part

I want to start a channel but I have a lot of fear.
Fear of failure , fear of have having to put self out there.
You just need to start Emma, press record!
Kick that fear and start.
I just started a New YT Channel🎉 This info was right on time! Thank You🤎
Anyone else starting, just know We Got This!!🙌🏾
I’m so glad you mentioned when RUclipsrs say “ like, comment, and subscribe “ at the beginning of the video. I feel the exact same way!
Thanks Erin for your wisdom. Can’t wait to use your techniques and see what 2022 has in store for me and my channel.
Same here and you just gained a new subscriber. Wishing you the best!
@@latoyab8337 thank you so much. Returning the love. ☺️
I love your content, it's so helpful and straightforward! But my biggest hurdle when it comes to being consistent on my channel is editing. Editing can take me so much time, and because I'm working with limited time during my week (i have a physically sutrenuous job where my hours are not consistent) i find myself choosing relaxation over editing. It's a struggle but I want to be better.
Completely felt this!
Try outsourcing sometimes. I had to learn with other projects that it's ok to delegate. Try fiiver, if you have some extra funds. I'm sure they have some good video editors for youtube videos. :) Some people do good things and won't break the bank.
@@briannaodom7338 thank you so much. I have definitely heard of Fiver before so maybe I'll start to utilize that.
Hey Erin! Just wanted to drop in and tell you I am now at 4,300 Subbies! 2 years in. I tell ppl all the time it's scary, but what's even scarier is never trying and never knowing what could be. I am claiming to get to 10K by the end of this year. Thanks for all you do! Xoxo
This was sooooo good. You articulate yourself so well! You’ve always dropped gems that I believe helped me grow. The part I resonated with the most was not to be super niched down! I feeeeeeel that. And screaming like comment and subscribe. If they like it, they’ll
Stick around.
As a new RUclipsr I was always saying like, comment and subscribe. Erin is always dropping gems for us.
You just gained a new subscriber on your channel! Wishing you the best!
I love this video! Very helpful! Fear of just starting is my biggest setback! I feel like it’s so much to just getting started and the fear of failing.
I decided to start my channel all over again simply because I felt I was on the wrong track. I agree that not niching down too much is good. That's what I did in the beginning and then I realized that I also enjoy vlogging and doing fun stuff. Although I don't recommend starting over from scratch, I felt it was the best move for me to make. But not having too narrow of a niche is definitely a big one for me.
Erin, this video came up on my feed right on time. I’ve been wanting to start a YT channel for years now. Unfortunately, fear and self-doubt have kept me from pursuing that, but your video has definitely given me some great tips to start and grown my channel this year. Thank you! I would love to see a video differentiating between a niche and target persona. God bless!
Me too
This was such a great video Erin, I recently started my channel and from the beginning incorporating different niches that I am passionate about, instead of just committing to one. This one is so important for creators, I've followed many RUclipsrs throughout the years and unfollowed them later on, as their content no longer serves me any purpose and they haven't evolved with that information, where I still follow some RUclipsrs and creators who have evolved and this has helped me love their channel even more!
Such a great video Erin ! I started my channel last year and I have been challenging myself for sure ! It made me feel better that it's ok to have different content throughout my channel without having to zero in on a specific niche .

I just restarted my channel this year and I am excited to grow!!! I am consistently posting once a week and will start posting more frequently in 2023. Thanks for the tips
Literally one of the best videos, so informative and no fluff. 🌸
Thank you Erin ❤️ literally a stay at home mom now (veteran) and was wondering how. Yes please for 🎯 😌☝🏽
The hardest thing for me has been creating a space with good lighting and aesthetic in my apartment which has terrible lighting & I feel very limited to where I can "setup" and consistent.
But nonetheless, I'm ready & I'm going to figure it out!
YES! I so appreciate this up-to-date advice. I've come across some creators who are giving outdated advice. As a small/new-ish RUclipst, it can be really confusing. Thanks again!! This video came up in my recommended feed, and I can't wait to check out some of your other videos.
This was recommended for me after spending days and nights watching Other ppl channels, you won’t believe I started a channel 2 yrs ago and stop uploading after my dad died, I def have to start back, thanks hun
LOVEEEE the advice about creating content for your target audience persona vs niching! It ives such scope for changing, pivoting & creating into the future, vs if you niche, like you said, the algorithm kind of puts you in that bucket and it's hard to get out of it!!
This was helpful as I've just started my channel. Also loved when she said you must not only focus on one niche. Thank you for the tips Mrs Erin😊
You go girl. Excited for your journey! I just started mine too :)
Just started mine and I need all the helpful info as possible…
You are an angel. I almost gave up on myself because things were looking so bleak. Thank you for your service and advice. God is going to bless you beyond your wildest dreams. You have no idea how you inspire. I am old enough to be your mother but I have had some recent failures but refuse to give up on myself. Jeremiah 29:11 I know that God will prosper me and my future.
Great information that's much appreciated . We've had our channel just over a year but thinking of revamping.
Yes please do another video.
Thank you!
Definitely loved this video! It was very helpful! I started my channel last year February and wasn’t consistent and when I actually took it seriously it started to grow! I will be using all of these tips and have already started using majority of them. Thanks Erin 🖤
Hi! Thanks for sharing this video. My fear is just getting started. I feel like there's so much to learn (like all the things you mentioned) but I also know there's value in stepping out and just making it happen as there are things you will learn along the way. I'm working to push past the fear. :)

Hi,
What is still holding you back
So me, fear of getting started.
This is me , I really want to oust past my fear
I’m glad I ran into your page🥰 I feel motivated into starting my own channel!
Am just starting my channel, and watching this video I think am in the right track, God see me through
Hi Erin! Great tips. You have been growing consistently. Congrats!! I started in 2012, QUIT, and started again January 2020. My only regret is I quit!! I would upload and not release. There’s no telling where I would be now if I had not quit. I’m full stream now since 2020 and loving the growth. I love RUclips and I’m an older, over 50, RUclipsr now. I have been uploading at least one or two a week, sometimes three, and it’s working. Much continued success and Happy New Year!

Thank you for this video Erin. You are always dropping the gems on us and we appreciate you queen. I started my channel a little over a year and I’m now learning that I need to upload more then once a week so thank you for reaffirming that❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yes love her
Just subscribe love, congratulations! I just started last July being consistent and I'm learning so much.
Just subscribe to your channel ♥️

I’m so glad you said to get to the point. I personally get very annoyed when I’m watching a video as bad they start out talking about random stuff that I don’t care about or they just take too long to talk about the topic of the video.
I know absolutely nothing about starting a RUclips channel but I want to help my husband start his channel. So, we’re learning together. Erin, thank you for your tips and insights.
What great tips 🥰 thanks so much for sharing 🤗 your background setting is gorgeous ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much for sharing this video! Right on time too! This is literally what I needed. I took full notes and everything lol. Sending you so much love.
I've been wanting to start my channel for years but I didn't wanna buy all that equipment and my channel didn't do well. This video gave me confidence and me and my home girl going for it, thank you so much.
Definitely need that niche video 😉, I’m so glad to hear you don’t think we need to niche down too hard!
Thanks Erin! You always dropping gems girl and this was a great reminder and encouragement to keep going but tweak my videos basically! 🙏🏼
Such a great video, Erin! I struggled with vloggin as a new RUclipsr because I felt like "no one knows me so they won't watch my vlogs." or I felt like I couldn't translate my full self before growing my platform based on a specific niche. This was very reassuring!
Absolutely
Totally agree!
I feel the same way about being a new RUclipsr and no one knows me.
But hey I just subscribed to your channel to support!
Let’s do this together
I remember when you had like 40k subscribers and you were talking this same stuff, I haven’t been here for a WHILE and WOW! 300k! She knows what she’s talking about!! 🙌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Hi , I started my first video yesterday 6/6/22 … I was scared at first … now I’m researching editing & trying to bring fun & interesting content… my vlog will mainly be a day in the life “Mom” , “wife” , “travel” , “food”… I love your videos. Thank You for sharing!
Erin, thank you for these tips! This was very helpful. My goal is to grow my youtube channel this year, so I am definitely going to implement what you shared!
I love these tips, thank you Erin for the hard work you put in all your videos! I am trying to grow my youtube channel this year, and I agree with your point about not niching down too much and just focus on my own persona. Wish me luck on my RUclips journey! I know it is going to be a long journey but its worth it!
I am a new RUclipsr and any good info is just what I need…
Hey Ms. Erin I'm a older gentleman who's been contemplating starting my own RUclips channel _ I do some stand-up comedy, write Urban lit and have a wide variety of interest, hobbies, skill sets, life experiences which I plan to utilize to my benefit... Just wanna thank you for this video
Thank you for mentioning getting straight to the point and no long intros. I just discovered your channel . You are a beautiful soul. I appreciate your insight.
Erin! Thank you SO much! I have been taking notes and implementing things that you've been teaching about RUclips for some time now! I'm so excited to apply these tips & continue to see my channel grow. You really are the plug girl!!~
loved all the tips in this video... I was trying to grow my channel a few years ago and took a MAJOR break due to a variety of things but now I'm so determined to grow now that I'm back so thank you so much for this ! xoxo 💕💕
Timely video!! I just launched my channel on January 3rd, and my growth has been a bit slow, even for it being the first month. Thanks for these tips! 😀
I’m taking notes. Thank you 🙌
Question - so about uploading more. What are your thoughts on uploading using the different RUclips features? I do one standard video a week, one short and tryyying to add in one live video to boost that number up without needing to edit more and more.
Hello Erin, Thank you for this super helpful tips. I came across your channel few days ago while searching for RUclips start up kits and I must confess you are doing an amazing job. I am international teacher, I moved to the US mid last year and I’ve always wanted to start a RUclips channel. I’m struggling with self doubts and confusion on how to basically start this journey.
As someone who’s about to begin RUclips, I loved your advice. You’re very articulate and beautiful
Revamping my RUclips so these tips are super helpful!!
Thank you sooo much Erin these tips are actually helpful. I love when I come across a video that doesn’t just sound like every other video I’ve seen. Seems like you actually took time to study what’s actually working 😊
Yes I’d love a video on target audience persona ! I’m multifaceted and do lot want to box myself in
Thanks for sharing my biggest thing is fear I’m scared to start my RUclips channel I want to but fear is holding me back.Thanks for all your incredible words.
I’m going to start my first RUclips videos in January. I’m glad I found your Channel!
Hey DK! Just reminding you of what you said last month about posting your videos this month!
This was excellent!! So helpful and encouraging 🤗 looking forward to using ALL of these tips! Thanks, Erin!
Hey, I'm a micro RUclipsr (lol). My biggest issues when it comes to creating WAS feeling like I had to niche down, but this video reassured me. But now my main issues are 1. Knowing what content to make 2. What my brand is/who my audience is and 3. Marketing myself on other platforms. How did you become comfortable and insightful with these?
OMG!!! I am sooooo thankful that I found you. I needed you for such a time as this. Love the way you take time and illustrate and Demonstrate what you are teaching and sharing. God Bless you!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aww! Thank you so much!! I'm glad it was helpful!
We are our own niche. We all bring our unique perspective! Great video Erin, very timely! Target persona video next
Hi Erin! What a great video to come across! My YT channel is 4 months old and I feel like I’m just starting to get the hang of filming etc. A couple weeks ago I changed the format when I moved from art / Procreate / KDP tutorials to an art/ city guide series… and I’m having SUCH fun making these videos! Loved everything you said here! So inspiring and helpful 🙏🏻 Liking and Subscribing!
Hi Erin, I have been planning and preparing my RUclips Channel for about two years now, probably going on three. I have the basic essentials needed concerning equipment + persona + desire + target audience; however, it has been extremely difficult for me to carve out time to learn how to edit. Although I won’t allow my amateur editing skills hinder me from posting content, I know I will run into a brick wall if I commit to starting it today, or this week, or next month. The thing is, I am ready to begin and my desires are aligned. I just need help finding a way to build a schedule that works for me with my RUclips endeavors joining the mix! - hope you read this & LOVE you + your content!
I have this fear too, that I wont have time to get it all done since I still have a day job. My plan is to knock out like 4-8 videos on a Saturday and then Edit them on a Sunday. I will use a scheduler to release the edited videos and then on weekdays after work I will do small things for a couple hours like respond to messages, write down ideas, research trends, analyze my analytics and other maintenance things. I'm hoping that this schedule will work for me. Now to just get the courage to start 😳
What's a good editing program?
To all the small RUclipsrs or new RUclipsrs do not give up. Keep going we can do this! The big RUclipsrs we’re once in our exact place. Anything is possible. Keep pushing, keep grinding. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Really insightful video! My biggest concern is fear, but also niche. I'm a very eclectic person. I love sports, I love comics, I love music, I love working out, I love my animals. I have a hard time picturing all of those things being thrown together and being successful lol
This was helpful ❤️
Thank you for this great video Erin! My husband and I started our channel in April of 2021, and the quality of the videos are good, as well as audience feedback and support, but the growth is not as fast as I expected. We post consistently every week, and just started trying shorts in addition to the longer videos. The editing takes so much time, I can’t swing more than one a week with my job and toddler. We are considering paying an editing service so can can produce videos faster. We are definitely committed. We know certain types of channels grow faster than others, so we are wondering if the niche just requires more time. Yes, we are interested in another video discussing target audience vs. niche. And is the audience a little broader with a family channel?
What is your editing program?
This makes me so happy because I’ve always wanted a RUclips channel but niching down has been difficult because I want to be known for multiple things
Been having my channel since 2014. Just now taking it seriously. Taking in all the advice I can get 🥰
