I've heard from influencers I know that as soon as you hit monetization status, you might actually have brands reaching out to you. Of course you should vet anyone that reaches out so you aren't taking money from a scam business or something.

Hi Alexis, I want to thank you for the video. Because of injuries, I am a 60 yr-old woman starting my life over after spending 15 yrs taking care of my mother with worsening dementia until she passed. I took notes throughout your video to help me with getting started and I will go to your affiliate links to shop before I go anywhere else, in hopes that this will help compensate you for sharing your knowledge and experience. You're a lovely young woman and I wish you all the best. I did also subscribe and will stay subscribed, will look out for your new videos and I'll check out your old ones as well, to support you. Thank you again.

I wish I had this guide back when I was starting. I was so mad because I had great content but no reach. 1k subs looked like 1 mil. Lucky me I came across Fame Ster and got my self first couple of Thousand real subs for very low price. After that my main channel gain a ton of organic traffic.

As a former Buddhist Monk who does Meditation related material our genre are quite far apart. Yet I really enjoyed listening to your last video with KZfaq as a topic and this one seems to be a winner aswell. Thank you for taking the time to put all of this together in such a clear and concise way. Feels like a flowchart of how to get your channel up and then getting your first video out and even dealing with taxes and everything that comes after!

The best "how to start a KZfaq channel" video for REAL. I've searched for so many throughout the years and this is by far the most "humanized" and honest one.

@AlexaLikes Жыл бұрын

This is fantastic. I wish all these tips existed a decade ago. There was so much gatekeeping that I constantly underpriced myself without realizing it. When a PR firm reaches out to you on behalf of a brand, they have money to spend. I noticed that my best quality videos came from work I did with brands that paid more - they hold you to a higher standard and it motivates you to outdo yourself. Speaking from experience, you never know when the contracts will dry up - so really charge your worth and then some!

if I would to start again on YT, I just wouldn't waste months to get recognized by couple hundred people. When I discovered I could trigger organic growth after getting first 1k subs using Fame Ster Socia my life just got easier and my main channel exploded. People are just looking at the numbers when searching for some content. If you have low subs no one cares abot you even if you have best content on platform.
