After over 1 year of consistent weekly uploads, I've reached 1,000 subscribers. I just want to thank @Alexa Saarenoja for starting this group when she did. I was lucky enough to find her channel way back before she was monetized and was inspired to take the plunge into YouTube because of something she said. I believe that with persistence and patience, it is possible to grow your channel and find your audience. Although I am on the slow growth path, I'm building my channel in a way that feels authentic to me. Thank you--especially to the people who were with me in that first cohort of this group. So many of you were instrumental at that time. You shared your perspective and expertise and you helped me to have the audacity to think I could do this. I will always be grateful for that. 💚

I went public with my new video this evening and I’m so sad the quality isn’t good. The copy on my iPad is good but once on YouTube it’s not . I’ve watched a video about this and not totally sure what I’m doing. Will I end up reloading it . Advice so welcome .

Every video you post is valuable. https://www.loom.com/share/cabd71f640054234ab621408088351de

Hi I’m Chris G I started my channel seems like yesterday but it was about 8 weeks ago . I’ve 11 videos posted. My aim at the moment is one a week my theme is niche as it’s aimed at people who are going through grief. One of the playlists is “painting through grief” , I’m painting an affirmation card and chatting openly about the journey I’ve been on myself with the hope it might help others. At the moment I have 24 subscribers which I hope to build on. I wanted to get a number of videos on before I tried pushing for more subscribers. Hence why I’m here to learn.
