Hey Department Fam, I am getting bogged down by trying to figure out how to make recording videos sustainable for me, but I’m getting stuck in the expectation that YouTube rewards the polished video look. Anyone have some insight they can share of the results they get posting with a simpler setup?

Hey 👋🏾 I am a Relationship Coach with a YT channel and a talking head Podcast. My niche is professional women over 30 looking for love. I am also a Bible Teacher with a YT channel and a talking head Podcast. My niche is Christians who want to grow spiritually and become disciples. I am struggling getting noticed. I am here to learn everything I can. Any tips on how to increase views organically?

I wanted to reach out and get thoughts on something I’m working on. I’m in the process of restarting my podcast called Sea of Hope, which is all about the intersection of faith and mental health. It’s a space for sharing encouragement and offering a bit of hope to folks who need it. Alongside that, I also run a platform called Rested Brown Woman, which is more specifically for women of color, focusing on self-care, intentional living, and faith-based encouragement. It’s got a bit of a mentorship vibe and is really about helping women embrace rest and confidence. I’d love to get advice on how to best relaunch my YouTube channel and whether you think I should keep these two platforms separate or consider combining them into one. Should I focus on Sea of Hope first and let Rested Brown Woman grow out of it, or keep them as distinct channels?

Has anyone uploaded a free course to their YT channel yet? If so, did it increase your views or subscribers?
