Great advice! I just published my first video today. Thanks to you and the others who give out the helpful info regularly.

You are a breath of fresh air on social media. You have no pretensions and just seem like a really likable interesting guy I’d enjoy a beer or coffee with and with a positive perspective on life and what we are all doing with them. You are going to continue to grow a lot I suspect!

Yesterday I watched your “if you’re over 40, start a channel” and loved it. This video is a delightful gift and can’t wait to walk thru it (when I’m not rushing to get ready for the day 😅).
I’ve wanted to start a channel for a while and I believe the time is now. Thank you for your content! New subscriber ✅

I propped up a cell phone in my garage in the dead of winter of Cleveland. Lol

Just started a channel, now at week 2 of my monetisation path. Slowly growing and enjoying the learning. Thanks for your helpful words.

Kevin, Thank God! I found your channel. After 20+ years of working in IT I was laid off recently. And I'm feeling like it's time for my "Act 2" and man. It's really encouraging to see someone doing videos. I'm going to make my first YT video and I'm going to dedicate it to you brother! 🫡 🙏

I’m starting my channel on Monday. I’m I figure what the heck? Thanks for your very helpful video! Now all I have to learn is editing! I’m excited about the sounds too! Yay!

Why I'm I now seeing your videos? Wow! I've been listening to the noise for a year now. You're the only person who is so helpful. I'm definitely following you. Thanks, Kevin. God bless

I have just watched your ; if you are over 40, start a channel video, and then i went to your site to listen to a few more in the playlist about starting a channel.

I have been wanting to do this for over 2 yrs but never felt comfortable about doing it.

Your teaching made sense, and i love the way you explain the process.
Other videos like this have just made it feel more daunting to start creating.

I am seriously considering making the dream a reality after watching your videos.

Thank you so much.

From Leicester England 😊

This is so good! I stopped about 10 times and fixed my new channel with your suggested settings. I really appreciate this easy-to-understand tutorial, Kevin. Thanks!

Best channel that I've seen for our age bracket... I'm an old-school illustrator pen and ink drawing.. Been wanting to start a channel. Thanks for the content...

[julieevans]

👋 Hello. I am so glad YouTube added you to my feed!I had no idea where to start. I know nothing about how YouTube works. You share value. You have so much class, I dig that. I was beginning to lose hope that I could do this. Thank You!!! 😊No doubt I will watch this video several times😂

[chadontheroad]

Another good video Kevin. I have been watching your videos for awhile now. I love how you present the information, like a friend talking to a friend. I never knew about the audio library or the thumbnail test & share feature till now.. LOL . I have a small channel I am trying to grow so I watch your content. New subscriber here now ! Kudos

Hey Kevin, great video! Thanks so much for making this, it's very helpful. As someone who is over 50 I was recently inspired to start a YT channel. So I created one a few days ago but the various settings are a mystery to me, so your video was a "god sent" one. I have already recorded my first video but I haven't uploaded it yet; I'm in the process of editing it, which is another thing I need to learn. I have subscribed and liked this video. Anyway, from one "born-again" Christian to another: "thank you brother!"

[gslmxbj]

This video is step by step, line by line helpful, valuable and very needed. This is great!! I will keep coming back to this for reference.
Thanks Kevin.

[Holmesawayfromhome]

I'm enjoying watching your videos and agree 100% about creating and starting a YouTube channel! I'm about to be 43 years old next month and I started my YouTube journey as a theme park blog about 6 weeks ago and I have been having such a great time. I look forward into watching more of your videos! Jeff

[slcrooks]

Thank you Kevin, I appreciate having all of this in one place!!

[Thegrandmathatplays]

Whew! I need to take notes! I can’t wait to start!

[SweetPsTastyTreatz]

If you’ve already created the channel without putting it as a business account, can you go and change it and if so how? Thanks in advance for considering this comment

[Richard_Broom_Photography]

This is very useful Kevin as I'm in the process of building my first tutorial (it might take some time to finish). Many thanks. You are a true gentleman.
