The first 1,000 people to use the link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare skl.sh/katiesteckly08231 💻 The vast majority of KZfaq channels will never become financially successful - in fact, out of the 100 million KZfaq creators - only 10 million channels have surpassed 1000 subscribers. That means that if you have 1000 subscribers, you’re in the top 10% of all KZfaq creators. I’ve found there are really 5 main reasons why the majority of KZfaq channels “fail” or fail to grow into a consistent form of income for the creator. And they have nothing to do with having the right camera, or using the “best” editing software, or even knowing the latest changes to the algorithm. So we’re going to talk about the 5 things that might be really holding you back from seeing success on KZfaq in today’s video.

Stay consistent. Make decent thumbnails. Make video titles that are searchable/interesting. And like you said, your channel will definitely grow more if you see what content does the best and cater to your viewers more. And equipment means nothing. Some of my most viewed videos were filmed on an iPhone and edited in 10 minutes. It’s more so about the idea of the video. Not necessarily the quality. If anything, invest in better lighting than a better camera. Best of luck everyone ❤️

I am someone who is considering starting a KZfaq channel as a way to make money because I'm in a job that I don't even enjoy, but a lot of what Katie as well as other creators do on here, is stuff that I enjoy doing. With how stressed out I can get with my job, I get confused with how people can make content creation work. Then when I have time to relax, and reflect on all of the information I learned in college with my psychology degree......I begin to realize it's not that difficult if you put yourself in other people's minds, and focus on the things that people want. A lot of people have the wrong mindset, and they don't know how to change it.

Boy oh boy do I agree w the consistency advice. My views were picking up & in order to “grow faster” I said “now I need to post 2x a week”. So I started to do this & my latest video bombed. I changed title & thumbnail & it didn’t help. The video just wasn’t that great. I didn’t put as much effort into when I was honest w myself bc I was just pushing to get something out. LESSON LEARNED. I ended up deleteing it & will now focus on quality vs quantity.

One of the saddest things I see on KZfaq is when a content creator was booming and crushing it in views and see them years later still uploading and have over 4 mil subs but barley get 100k views. That to me is so sad because they then become slaves to trying to do what’s hot just to try and stay afloat and relevant.

13 months in and I so relate to just about everything you said! I hate being boxed in and although my channel is about our family's one-eyed rescue dog, I dared to branch out and found a way to incorporate some difficult topics (my mom's dementia, death, loss, grief). It was the right thing to do for many reasons and I have no regrets about that. Sometimes as creatives we have to dare to be creative and think beyond the niche! Thanks for this real and honest conversation! Much appreciated!!!

Now it is hot coca season and not iced coffee. But your advice is still spot on! As a new creator in 2023, at 73, I find the most important thing is to be able to manage my mood. I have had a lot of rejection in my work life, but something about social media can really get bad rental space in my head. Literally, I think the key skill I am refining as an influencer is the ability to shake it off and keep going.

This video really spoke to me, especially REASON #2. I had one video on decluttering go viral early on and now if i post anything outside of MINIMALISM or DECLUTTERING the video flops. I feel like I have so much more to offer to my viewers then just decluttering (although I do LOVE decluttering) but my "other" content is all over the place (BUILDING CHICKEN COOPS, RESET ROUTINES, MEAL PREP, GARDENING AND TRAVEL). Today I will brainstorm "that sweet spot" between what my viewers want and what I want to create. Thank you for creating great content!!!

Hi Katie, 1st of all i love your glasses and the van. 😁 Ive been watching your videos for a while and everything seems to resonate with my youtube journey. Ive been a KZfaqr since the very beginning of the platform like literally and i wish - i wish - i knew then what i know now. I struggled so much over the years with my channels, and deleted channels with thousands of videos for feeling like a failure over and over and over. This time i feel different, i feel ready and i feel like nothing will stop me from growing my channel now and watching videos like yours that put it in plain words what is wrong and what needs to be done is very reassuring. Thank you so much and a big cheers from New Zealand.

The part where you said "would you watch your own video?" stung a bit, but fortunately I realized I need to make my videos more interesting before even coming across this video, so it didn't sting as much as it would have, had i not realized this myself first. That's why I decided that, starting next year (because I already have my videos scheduled up to the end of december) I'm putting more effort into editing to make my videos really "flow better" and more enjoyable and "easy" to watch, as well as more engaging for the viewers. I'm looking forward to it!

Thanks for this video, I deleted my og KZfaq account in 2016, and it's the biggest regret, I have in terms of things I've done on the internet. I also had another channel that I created after, but I deleted it a few days ago, I wasn't fond of it, I wasn't taking proper care of the channel and it never reached an audience that my og channel had, and I never realized the exact reasons until now. Now here I am on this channel with less than 200 subs, and I've been on this platform since 2011, and now it feels like I have to start from square 1 again, and it really freaking sucks. But after watching this I kind of understand what I've done wrong in the past, and now get what I need to do differently, the crappy part is that I have to compete against alot more people now than I would of had to in the past.

#4, Perfectionism! I have a message to share about healing and resilience, I've been filming but I hate it all lol, kinda the same when I'm painting but usually I mess with it until I love or at least like it. This is just so out of my depth, way harder than it looks. I'm on my iphone, the lighting, angles, and some weird buzzing sound in the background, I realized pretty quickly this definitely way more work than it looks. It's terrible when I hear people ask full time youtubers what they do for work. This is work! However, I have learned from my own journey healing chronic health issues, CPTSD and my fitness achievements that the only way to fail is to quit. You can't fail if you keep going because really it's about the journey not the destination. My main mission is to help people come out of the depths of despair that I am intimately familiar with. Thanks for the pep talk, I need to remember my mission and put it out there imperfections and all

This was so insightful. I would consider my KZfaq a failed channel… I’ve had 2 real goes at it and then just stopped because I couldnt seem to grow an audience. Despite doing courses. I’m now starting it again… but totally changing my my content. I was on the fence about starting a brand-new channel and starting from scratch, how ever after much perfectionistic thinking, I think I’m going to keep my channel and rebrand it because myself as a person and my messaging hasn’t really changed it’s just more that I’ve moved into a new chapter of my life. So, for example, my KZfaq channel was always a business tool. It was never just to be a content creator. after 20 years of doing my business, I’ve decided to totally change my direction and pursuing more creative life. Because I was nutritionist before I did a lot of cooking but it was always based on health and fitness/binge eating recovery etc. now I do a lot of cooking for pleasure… so it seems relivant. A lot of my content before was about nutrition facts, aesthetics and the strategy to creating good habits. for me none of this stuff has changed however I am in the chapter of living slower and building a more intentional and enriched life. I think I’m going the right thing by keeping my channel and not starting from scratch x

The fan mentality spoke to me. I’ve been aspiring to be an illustrator myself but often struggle with the fact that I could also do it aside to being a fan of another successful illustrator! Loved the reasons shared, timely reminder for myself! Will give my own channel a little bit more thought from now on 🤪
