To the person who is reading this, don’t give up on your YouTube channel. Keep going it’s going to get better.

Okay the “if no one was watching, what would you make?” SPOKE TO ME. My biggest fear is judgement of others and have to move past that if going to make content on YouTube. So happy i found this video. Thank you Annie!

Awesome video. I am small YouTuber, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Fame- ster, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).

I feel as though my biggest issue is perfectionism, but I will just be consistent and allow others to see my growth in real time! Thanks for the encouragement Annie! 🧡

My biggest issue is laziness and lack of motivation- but, now, I’m just gonna push through the stress and work because I know that every dream of mine will take work, effort, time, and dedication. Thanks for the vid, Annie!

When she said "hey Google" my Google assistant answered with options on how to start a yt channel 😂😂

[mushyfrog]

Hearing from others that already have a bigger audience that they’re still figuring stuff out is refreshing, it’s nice to hear that, as someone who’s just begon with YouTube. Knowing that you’re not alone. This really did help, thank you 🧡

[WasabiBlues]

Great video & a lot of good points! I only recently started taking YouTube seriously about two months ago and it's been a fun honestly, especially when it just starts to click and you start to enjoy watching the process of how you evolve over each video you make. 🧡

[kittysonder]

Thank you so much for this. Thanks to you I finally started my own channel. I wrote your advice down in the back of my journal and read it when I started to doubt myself. I loved the bit when you said 'start it before you think you're ready'. This has become a bit of a mantra for me now so thank you!

[schalagauthier]

Thank you annie, i felt really nervous starting my channel but now watching and taking notes i think im finally prepared to start. It means a lot that you made a video to help us beginners out. Keep up the great work! 🧡

[authenticallykyle]

The scariest part for me was certainly starting without any prior knowledge but that hurdle has passed so it's just enjoying the process of content going forward 🧡 Thanks for the tips and encouragement🧡

[charnelledonalson]

I feel lucky that this was the first video I watched when interested in starting a channel. I feel very empowered and ready to move forward regardless of all the obstacles I've created in my mind. Thanks!

[shakillia]

Great video Annie! 🧡 I especially loved your advice on not focusing on the numbers. I have attempted to launch youtube channels in the past and tried to follow the advice of hyperfocusing on one niche and each time I would get burnout and evetually quit. This time around doing youtube has become more fun for me because I am no longer trying to target a niche or following certain guidelines. Im just creating videos that I want to create and am enjoying the process. Ive been more productive than I have ever been!

[JustFun-kvls]

Oh my god. I have never felt much more motivated than this. I love the way you talk and make things sound really easy and achievable.

[TheLubiDiary]

I was such a mess when I first started. I still haven't mastered being on camera but I can say that it's gotten so much easier with time. Loved the part about planning your shots in advance. And lastly, yes the editing was the part that killed me the first few months. I still have a tough time with it sometimes. Great points. Thank you for this video!

[VivianLeS]

a little late to this video but I'm so glad I came across it, these are definitely really good tips and reminders. I felt like I held back for so many years because I kept waiting for the perfect time but I realized my inner child really wanted to get into youtube, so I've been trying to make her wish come true. 🧡

[AJDLyrics]

Dear beginner, embrace the challenges, be consistent, experiment, engage, and most importantly, have fun. Believe in yourself and your ability to create amazing content. Your YouTube channel has the potential to inspire, entertain, and make a difference. Keep going, keep learning, and never give up.

Best of luck on your YouTube journey!❤
