I really hope the information in this video is helpful!! I’m not a youtube tips channel so I wanted to pack everything I know into one video. I’ll be back next week with my normal vlog-style content🫶🏼🫶🏼 P.S. so sorry about the sun setting towards the end. If you have any suggestions for lighting for filming I’d love any recommendations! 💗💗

@UlyssiaGayle 4 ай бұрын

Great tips! I would also like to stress being consistent. As a growing channel, once you take a break ( because life happens) it’s such a challenge to get your views back😅but like you said we’re in it for the long game so remaining consistent pays off in the end.

My take is that seo/description is more important than tags! Since KZfaq is owned by Google, I think that KZfaq is indexing videos by keywords in the transcript and the description vs just looking at tags!! But that might be skewed by my blogger background LOL

I love your vlogs but this is super helpful ❤ Also, it'd be nice if you can keep at least one video per month related to KZfaq and tips. Topics that i find interesting to watch as an aspiring KZfaqr are : how much i made this month, things i wish i knew before i started etc. 😊

@rebekahjoy 4 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for watching my vlogs and I’m so glad this video is helpful!! Honestly I really want to stick to my usual lifestyle content. I’ve found it’s better to keep my niche smaller like that rather than gaining a split audience of people who want to watch youtube tips vs watch vlogs. So I kinda just brain dumped a ton of info into this one video🤍 however i do have a video out from a few months ago about how much i’ve made on youtube (and I may film another one of those in the future!) 💗

#newsubscriber [forthevlogs😁] Rewatching! MAJOR tip! ❤But I’m a reformed Virgo who has cured herself of Perfectionism because if you’re infected with the P, rewatching will probably be super stressful Um, Rebekah, this is the first time you entered my feed and I’m happy. This video was refreshing for a 5mo old vlogger such as myself. &TYSM for being realistic about the time commitment. (not the end of the world if you miss an upload ☺️) &🎉 for being realistic about your beginner journey (50-vid rule) Btw, while you’re editing, do you ever leave markers on your timeline with notes during your phases of editing? 15-20 hours is actually normal I think. But I’m guessing you do that over the course of a few days, yes? And when brands gift you a product (which is separate from brand deals I imagine), do they expect you to mention them within a certain time frame and do they ask you to send them the video to before or after you post it? How did you know that you should have a contract before working with brand deals? I mean, are you part of a community where you are being educated on how to be a good vlogger lol

@rebekahjoy 3 ай бұрын

Hi!! I'm so honored you're choosing to stick around. So sorry my late response! As for leaving markers on the timeline while editing, I do sometimes! It can be helpful if I need to go back to a certain point to add something. I typically use them for where I want to add text or a transition. And yes, it's typically 15-20 hours of editing per video total (typically spread out over 3-4 days). Some brands will have specific requirements with gifted collabs. I did some of those at the beginning but I pretty quickly started telling brands I will accept gifted items with no requirements attached. If I like the product, I will mention it in a video but it won't be a structured collaboration meaning I won't send the video for approval and I can include it in a video as I please. (If they want that structure, then I will share my rates and discuss a potential paid collaboration.) There are always exceptions though - for instance if I reallyyy love the product and brand and think the deliverables are fair, then I will agree to do an unpaid collab. As for having a contract, I've just watched a lot of KZfaq related videos about brand deals, growing on KZfaq, etc. And from talking to other KZfaqrs it is pretty standard to receive a contract. Personally, I just feel safer and more protected. But it's super important to read through the contract and make sure you agree with all the terms. I've had some contracts include things that I don't want in there - I just let the brand know and most of them are pretty good at changing some things as necessary. It's a lot of trial and error honestly, I'm learning as I go :)

Omg, I get one or two comments on my videos and it’s a commitment to make sure I respond (and I do and love to) & here you are, like a pro, with a million comments to respond to. You are above and beyond so thank you for responding however long it took. You never have to apologize. Your answers were on point and I appreciate that you took the time to answer them since you probably don’t have any recents plans to make another video like this to address “how to be a yt’er” questions lol.

I found this by accident and i'm assuming mostly women watch this channel. i have been watching lots of youtube lately and really wonder why some people get success and some have like 25 views.. My observations so far is a little blurry but i have a few ideas that some of you can comment about.(if you're trying to be a youtuber) 1. If you are a woman under 40 it seems to be almost like a given that you get 5-8k views per video if you make videos about anything that is close to a male dominated subject. (cars, motorcycles trucks etc) so if you really want to make it try to make videos about things in that type of field.. if you have the slightest interest in those subjects of course. 2. This is more of an observation, some creators have professional intros and talk to the camera like they are MKBHD even from the first video. I don't know why they do it but are you not blowing up really fast you look stupid and narcissistic so i wouldn't do that myself. 3. If you are new KEEP VIDEOS SHORT! it used to be a 10 minute line when you could get more ads in but if you are brand new that doesn't matter. 4. If you can talk endlessly about nothing start doing videos about how expensive things is, there is a lot of brand new channels talking about housing and car prices. And most of them don't provide anything new but i guess lots of people really wanna hear about how prices are about to drop shortly.
