I appreciate this video, all those hoping to achieve this like me, WE ARE GETTING THERE.....2021

I was just YELLING at my KZfaq studio app saying “WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME” ..... I can’t keep being the ONLY one watching my videos. 😂😂I’m going to use some of your tips thank you sm 🥰

I am grateful, to all those who wish to increase their channel, I am here ready to hug you all.

Shoutout to everyone that’s trying 🤙🏾

Reaching 1k is the most frustrating thing ever 😭 but we can do it guys keep going 😊✨

If you see this, you might be frustrated and want your videos to get noticed. Trust me, keep grinding it out, you’ll see numbers rise🖤🙏i believe in you

Change from how can I GET to how can I GIVE and more growth will be on your way ❤️🔥🌟

I’ve been working so hard in December and feel so motivated for 2021! Not going to quit!

My Story with my smaller channel is like that. My first 1000 took a year. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The next thousands came faster. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Edited to add: this is my main channel. My smaller channel is "Fun Little Art"

It took me just under a month to hit 1k subs and that was with constant uploads every week, lots of editing, and hard work! If you can do it in 30 days, I applaud you! Keep up the great work guys!

I reached the 1000 about a week ago...took me 13 days shy of one year. I started knowing nothing so had a lot to learn...I have loved my journey so far, and look so forward to the future. 😀

Almost 500k on tiktok, and 100k on IG in the last year- gonna trickle over to KZfaq now!

I will say reaching 1k takes a lot of time and consistency. I’ve gotten super close and I feel like it would’ve happened a lot faster if I was more consistent sooner, but I’m working on it lol. Good luck to everyone, we can do this🧸🥀🤎

Best of luck to everyone trying to grow their channels! Here's to 2021, wishing you all success, and stay safe! :)

We got this guys let’s start the grind!

Started YT few months back and whoever started recently let’s smash the targets this year keep helping each other where ever possible as we humans can achieve wonders if we support each other ☺️😀

I’ve been doing KZfaq for 4 years and still on the road 1000 so definitely going to try this

I have already started my channel but it literally isn’t going anywhere so I hope this year I can grow.

Just starting my KZfaq journey now after wanting to do it for months.... we can do it guys!! We've got this 💞

Some great tips here! I just started my channel and hitting 1k is one of my goals this year. Good luck to me and all the new youtubers out there!

Start Unknown, Finish Unforgettable. ❤️🤞🏻

Good luck to everyone trying to make it, I know it’s tough, but keep going!

This is the video I NEED!! I just started YT a few months ago and would love to make this achievement! 🤗

To the person reading this, remember that everything begins with you. You are Light, You are Peace, You are Harmony.😊

You inspired me this spring - I started my channel in July and just hit 1000 this month using a lot of your advice! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this video! I haven't started my channel yet, but doing a lot of research at the moment. Really appreciate all the info! Thanks!!

LOVE THIS! Thank you for sharing- I just hit 100 and thought that was FAB ahahahh can't wait to see where this journey goes. Appreciate all your value here

This was brilliant. I’m stuck on 97 in my first month. Sooo frustrating. I have a niche but gonna follow all these tips. Thanks for the direction.

To anyone reading this, you rock, keep going! Wishing you all a wonderful new year full of growth ♥️🙏🏼

Okay I have watched SO MANY “how to grow videos” but WOW!!! This is actually so helpful, thank you so much 💛💛💛

Thank you for posting this! I didn't even realize you could add sections to your home page. I'm pretty new. My homepage now looks much better!

Just made my channel and didn't realize how in depth the process was...I'm motivated

🤩IMMEDIATELY taking your advice! Love the playlist option. Had no idea. Thanks! Also, already a BIG fan of SKILLSHARE. Glad to see you giving it props!

I lost my job as a chef in December and I am really starting to double down into my channel and other social media now that I am in between employment. I want to be my own boss and make people happy with food again, and restaurants just aren't cutting it right now with the pandemic. I already commented but I am so grateful to content creators like yourself, showing us how youtube can be a realistic way to provide ourselves with income and grow. So thank you again!

I started my channel last year in October and going in not focused on anything! Had no clue about seo and just uploaded just cuz...I left and went on hiatus for 6months and was actually surprised I was still getting subs. Came back and started back up in September and got super focused, learned about seo and search optimizing my videos. I was at 110 subs. I grew it now to 706. I had the most growth just the past couple of weeks...was at 500 on the 7th and here we are over 200 subs in like 3 weeks. When it upswings, it upswings and starts snowballing with the momentum. My goal is monetized by the end of January 2021.

Never give up Try your best everyone We all got to start somewhere Hope I can Hit 1000 someday. Good Luck Everyone 💓💓💓

Thanks for the tips and I hope everyone on here meets their goals this year 🤎🤎

such great tips for small channels! thank you so much! i am going to start implementing these today

Love this I’m only on 79 it’s going to be a journey

If you’re reading this, 2021 will be your BEST year! 🎉

I REALLY needed this video, it’s been discouraging lately for me. Thank you for going out of ur way to post this! 🤍🤍🥰

I just subscribed homegirl!!!😘 You had me with “throwing spaghetti on the walls”🤣🤣 #guilty 🙋🏽‍♀️

The first time I had real growth I had just tested Roberto Blake’s tip of pimping out your channel. He called it branding, but I like your term better 🙂, that little extra step earned me an extra 40 subscribers and Roberto himself watched and commented on that video. Fast forward a few months and I was approved into the YPP two weeks ago. I also focused on bringing people to the platform and even recommending other creators videos on my own when I still did not have enough of my videos because I remembered this was a tip you had given on another video about growing as well.

😂 Fun fact: the word “short” is longer than the word “long”

I am just finding you and seeing this and I have to say, I instantly like you! You seem so genuine and have a great personality. Thanks for sharing this video girl!

I watched the whole vid. Thank you so much for sharing your insights. I’m on the boat of wanting to get my first 1,000 subs, but I haven’t really done anything but upload 1 video. I guess the hardest part for me is creating my own niche. Hopefully I find out soon!

We are only 6 subscribers away now, so close yet still feels so far haha! This will help going forward with the next 1000 🤞🏼😊

thank u for the motivation! i’ve been trying to grow my channel for a while now!!

Great, advise! Thank you. I just started my channel on Saturday. I’m archiving my weight loss journey, being an open book and vulnerable regarding weight loss, binge eating, mental health, etc. I love the process!

CONSISTANCY!!! Without this hang it up. I have a successful channel and just started my second one doing something love which is tarot reading. Get your niche and turn the camera on. Great advice!

Thank you for sharing Jessica!Hope everybody here becomes successful on KZfaq.

I always struggle with SEO and figuring out the best content to produce.

Learned few things, been in KZfaq for few months now abs it’s getting better, big up to everyone trying as well

Hopefully one day this happens because I want to spread my love for gaming ☺️

And here we are...we took our channels serious from day one but the subscriber number is not that impressive though 😢 but we're still moving forward 🙌 i hope some miracle will happen 😂

Thank you! I just woke up and needed a pep talk! 😎

Great video Jessica! A lot of practical advice that I knew but wasn't even implementing.

Been on and off with youtube since I was 14 (I'm nearly 22) ugh this video motivated me to be more consistent for when I decide to come back again :)

getting crystal clear on your niche is so important, I took a short break from posting to be able to think about that concept and have a good solid foundation before going strong in 2021! Thank you for your tips

I just started my KZfaq channel a month ago and I found this really helpful....Love from Nigeria💕💕

Omg I'm working on my first 100 subs 😩 Thanks for such great info! Definitely going to use your tips

I’ve created my yt channel 7 years ago when no one really heard about monetizing their videos... now I went back after a huge break with uploading covers and I can admit it’s really hard to be reachable outside of friends and family, who watch my songs the most recently! I would definitely like to share my covers to the larger audience so thank you for your vid! 🙏

Who else is growing and starting their channel during quarantine? Let’s grow together. :)

Thank u 🙏 The best way i am using 1 concentrate about more uploads ⬆️ 2 search for a hobby you like for ex. I play piano👍 so you don’t get bored 3 upload at least one video per week 4 join channels with same contents

Thank you for the tips! I never thought of creating a playlist of relatable content. Definitely will try it out ❤️

Thank you for the encouragement and tips! You are giving me hope (gotta have patience and stay the course).

Jessica, great video! Could you do a video, sometime, of encouraging those of us with children and limited time of how to stick with content creating or how to get on a good schedule to do videos? I feel like I am really struggling right now! But, I always love checking out your videos, because for some reason, I feel like you're my neighbor! Maybe it's our strong southern ties and our home state being NC.

Creating playlists of other people’s videos is such a great idea! I’ve watched so many videos like this, but your the first one to say this. I’ll need to try this!

Thanks for the tips. I just started my channel two months ago and looking for my first 1,000 subscribers. This video helped me get some ideas to help grow, so thank you for that. Good luck to you in the new year!

It's so awesome to see people like you helping us all reach the top! Thank you 🔥

i really just want to be at 1k by June as a graduation gift 😔 I feel like I’ll never make it to 1k ever

This was one of the best videos that covered this topic, I love the phrase "earballs" lol love VAL as well. I heard Sean from Think Media say AVL but VAL is much doper. Awesome vid Jess 😊

Thank you for these tips!!! I can’t wait to use these for my KZfaq channel!

It is never too late to start anything, I just started mine 2021! Nothing can stop you but yourself 🤍

Notification squad ♥️♥️♥️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇺🇸 This was really helpful , thank you so so much for sharing 💕.

I love the idea of the playlists. What a great sneaky way to keep people around..... moves onto thinking about all the cool concerts out there to put in a GIANT playlist.

10 minutes in and absolutely captivating! You are teaching me even more than you're talking about. I wouldn't necessarily get that without actually watching w my eyes in observance and awareness. Thanks again, I'm so excited for your new videos. You are helping so many!

My first week on here and needed to hear this! Thank you 🤍

That awkward moment when you searched 25 and no friends and ended up on that video :')

This is really valuable advice, thank you Jessica. You really are amazing 😉👌

Thanks for the early morning inspiration and knowledge. New channel member here and I've rung that notification bell so that I can continue to get these "golden nuggets" in 2021 and beyond. Wishing everyone success and joy and please stay safe, stay motivated, and stay encouraged!

Crazy to think of 1,000. I feel blessed with my 6. Thank you for sharing!

Just what I needed. Just started YT a month ago and this is really helpful 🔥🙏

WHO‘S READY TOMAKE 2021 THE BEST YEAR FOR THEIR CHANNEL? 🤩🙌🏾

Jessica, I love how down to earth and fun your personality is and how authentic you are on camera!!!! 💕😀

As a teacher, I’ve created tons of playlists for each subject I teach, I didn’t realize you could do this for a public channel (as mine are all private)...great content, thank you!

This was s helpful!! Thank you :’)

I will try "Focus on search ", it seems more easy to attract people to come to my channel and watch the videos. Thanks for sharing. Hope every youtubers channel will grow up fast.

I SOOOO love the concept of “PIMPIN YOUR CHANNEL” 😀 I feel silly that I never heard of that before. 💛

really really interesting advice :) I like that youre not just re-selling the 'tips' from all the other how-to-youtube channels. Thanks for sharing Jessica :)

Love all the tips you've shared in the video. Lighting is still hard though.✌🏻

Great vid! I’ve just started a Tarot reading/ranting channel. Great pointers🙏

Let's keep pushing hard💪 till we reach our goal 😊

This is really valuable, thank you Jessica. You really are amazing 😉👌

Every time I edit a new video I always take notes on what should I do for the next video to imporve the quality, so its actually fun seeing how I keep learning something new at every step, like better camera settings, better audio, the lights etc etc (o^o)b

Just made my channel about a week ago, I never knew how long the editing process took as I’m still learning 😭. I’m open to any tips !

I’m almoooost half way there! Thanks for all your tips. They help me so much!! ♥️

Very good tips and some of them I haven't heard before like creating a playlist on your channel with other people's content when you are small. However, I do struggle with the tip about niche down. I want my channel to be about a broad topic and I think that is because that is me and I can't do it differently. Thanks for a great video.
