I love following your progress and really appreciate your transparency and honesty.

Hello! KZfaq sent me this video and now im a subscriber. Im also struggling with being seen, and 57 years of hiding is a tough habit to break. But im determined to grow my channel and grow personally through it. Im rooting for us!!🎉🎉🎉

Learning about creating a better description, using a template, made a HUGE difference for us. It made the process faster for me, it made the channel look more professional, and it gave me the right place to put the keywords I needed. It's really about balancing and connecting the thumbnail, title, and description, so each adds different (and complementary) information. I'm enjoying watching you go through the process I've so recently been through. You have a great attitude!

Thanks for sharing your journey with us! It definitely helps to know we’re not alone. Something I realized yesterday was that I could customize the “end screen” at the end of each video. Turns out you can actually pic videos to be suggested for viewers to watch next. Pretty cool! And I’m hoping it will help people to watch more and more of my videos.

Just let it go and be patient, it will work out. YT will find you 😀

I’m also in my fourth week. And also just realized the power of descriptions! I had posted 3 shorts in one day, after about 4 days (under 10 views). After your last video with the idea that KZfaq just needs more information and WANTS people to watch your stuff they just need to know who to send it to- I decided to add descriptions. I got through 2/3 then got distracted. After only 30 minutes my views went from 4 to almost 400 on 2/3 video😮 they were the 2 shorts that I added descriptions to! It was very encouraging! Thank you for that change in perspective.

Yayyyyyy I want to do this too! You inspire me loverly!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ KEEP GOING! I love listening and watching you!

OK, here I am again from my new channel. Exciting 👀. My first video is scheduled to release at 12 pm EST and I still have that feeling of... "no, no, delete it now...I am not ready" 💥

Hi Anne! I’m also following Jen’s monetization videos on Patreon. I appreciate your videos so very much! I have created space for two channels, but have yet to get past my block of actually turning on the record button. I’m an artist and retired educator (sounds familiar?) Your idea of being of service truly resonates with me. I also feel that this is the time for women such as we are to get involved and support each other!

You may be able to cut time in the transcript process by utilizing “talk to text” in your phone notes! Then copy pasting to your desktop. Unless you are a fast typer… I am not. 😂I think my generation got the very butt end of typing classes right before phones and touch screens really took over.

Luv this video, tell your friend I also have a faceless channel and hope to transition over, just not ready yet. She should do "her", that's what people enjoy. Mistakes and all.🙂

You may want to see if KZfaq automatically makes transcripts of your video. I know it does close captioning, but it takes a couple of days after you post the video.

I used to hate being in front of a camera, but I needed to get used to it for work. To build my confidence, I created a private Facebook group where I was the only member. I started going live in that group, so no one else could see me. This allowed me to get comfortable talking on camera and review my videos to see how I could improve. I noticed that I often looked too serious and used filler words like "uh" and "okay" too much. Practicing in this way helped me become more aware and improve my on-camera presence. I hope this tip helps your friend. As for me, I plan to watch all your videos that I have not seen yet, to help increase your view hours. Plus, I have another surprise for you, but I'll share that from a different channel. Yes, I have multiple channels where I just used to post videos of my rescued animals to not loose them and will subscribe to you from those as well. Just like you said, we're over 50 and here to support each other. I want to do that for you. 😊
