i want to pursue relaunching my vintage business i had 2 years ago. I went travelling for 6 months and allowed procrastination and hesitation getting in the way. The past few months i've been planning and this quarantine has allowed me to prepare. Im ready ❤️ also guys feel free to follow my channel - Im always happy to support back ✨
Thanks so much for this video, I can tell you put so much thought into the advice. I myself have been wanting to make videos teaching coding online, but have been putting it off for a while even though I know it can give me the freedom I want. Anyway, thanks again and take are. :)
Run a youtube channel! i'm maybe sounds cliche like someone who always said "i don't have a gear", but i'm really save money for a camera, wish me luck ❣
I'm lacking of ideas currently but I like to make music cover videos and film production. I think for success we all need to be consistent like to make some schedule, that's the hardest move in the whole project of growing our channel, lots of time I would find myself working and then pausing at some point hmm
So true l wish I could be calm like that but because am struggling I can’t afford that now.I think a time will come when l will ease down for now am gonna keep screaming 😂 I guess #BrianinAmerica
Your comment "there are thousands of CZcamsrs, but there's only one YOU" cannot be truer! Thank you for the information and the very inspiring thoughts!
I agree 100%. I’ve gotten discouraged at times because of the bigger channels that dominate the niche but at the end of the dah their is only one you, you’re unique!
I’m reading the comments below after almost 2 years of Lana uploading this video and the first thing i did is checking most of the channels to see how far they go since then. It felt really nice when I saw that many of them have reached a higher level in their channels. Happy for you guys and all the thanks to Lana ❤️
Cora Zeap I just found your CZcams chanel through this comment and I must say it looks so good. Please don’t give it up, I’d love to see more your videos. I’m thinking of starting making content myself, but I’m still a little scared so I my two videos are about nothing, but when I saw your chanel, it really made me want to start filming something better❤️
@MyHiPoFro oh hahaha Thank you dear!! i also like koala 🐨 hahah there you go i got the name. plz come for more other videos too. thanks for subscribing as well 😂
I started my YT channel last year and i wasn't take it seriously. Im i was unconsistent, and yeah nothing happens. So now im back and try to be consistent again,. Goodluck to all of us.!
Honestly, this is one of the best and most authentic “grow your channel” videos I’ve ever seen. Leaving this comment to serve as proof for me starting over! good luck everyone 🙌
This video was so helpful! I always wanted to start a youtube channel but never dared to do so, until a few months ago. Now I'm so happy I started, it has become my passion and I just love doing it!
I started my youtube channel when the quarantine hit. I needed a project to encourage my self to be creative and to learn, and that's what my channel is about: creativity, and the difficulties of it, trying to be honest and vulnerable about my fears, insecurities, but also the things I love and that inspire me.

I just really love your videos. I like your delivery, demeanor, and tone. Very inspiring. I'm Dominican so my channel is about Dominican Culture and Fashion. CZcams is definitely a lot of work, but it has been worth it for me thus far. Keep inspiring all of us. Many blessings.
Quarantine youtuber here.When i lost my job early this year everything came to a stand still and thought that was the end of me.I started job hunting with no success that's when starting a channel cross my mind.It's hard but i won't give up now at 250+ subs.Thanks for the tips
I appreciate this so much! we all have the chance to succeed and now is the time to grow! I just started my channel like a month or two ago and it has been so hard getting subs and views but my motivation to make videos that make people happy is allowing me to keep going. I have been wanting to create a name for myself but never knew how to, so for those of you who are reading this, you will one day hopefully know my name and what I stand for. Don't give up!!
thank you for this video. I started following you since about 3 or 4 months and you are one of the reasons I started doing youtube videos again. hugs from france 💙🤍❤️xx
Just to let you know, algorithm is working, this was recommended for me at the time I have recently started my own CZcams channel, I listened thoroughly despite 2 ads to your speech, it was really informative and helpful for new CZcamsrs. Thanks Lana, and Stay Safe
i love how she is so calm and peaceful unlike many you tubers (no offence),i just meant you need to be YOU first and not being like if you are a you tuber you should be highly active & bouncing n jumping..!! You portraying your authentic self is highly powerful & charismatic thing ever ..
I just started a CZcams channel during this quarantine. It was always a dream of mine and now I finally had the motivation to pursue it. Edit: I am a cosplayer and writer, and post lifestyle videos about a lot of my nerdy interests. I also post some self-growth tips and philosophical ramblings. :)
you are a beautiful woman, you might have it easier than most of us, I say might cause there are other factors than influence success, anyway good luck!
"lady algorithm" I am gonna start using this phrase. For me, I feel like many can relate to this, I have always wanted to start a yt channel, but I always allowed fear to get the best of me. I finally got the courage and posted my first video just a few days ago. I finally decided to try. 😊
good for you Sandy! I know I giggled a bit when I first heard the "lady algorithm" term .. Wishing you all the best, I started diving into my channel lately and getting really consistent with daily content .. it is very true that patience is for sure required. I really enjoy it. and it is fun seeing the small wins and the sparkles that CZcams puts out when you make your little wins ... Keep going, beautiful soul!!
Being a CZcamsr is a dream of mine! I've always wanted to start 1 but I was scared or shy. But during this time I've overcome my sacredness and started my youtube channel!
Same here, Full time youtuber is meh, I just wanna document my journey with a decent audience Although if it becomes a 2nd income source one day it would be fantastic!
This video was so motivational! I started my lifestyle + beauty youtube channel a month ago and it has been very hard! But it was nice to be reminded that patience is important and something I haven’t really heard anyone else is say is the matter of “luck”. Great video!
I guess you found the "perfect time" to upload this video. I've been putting off making a channel for like three months, because of fear. Thank you so much for this.
Awesome, imagine that feeling when you start recording your first video, let alone press the upload button. Just do it! Keep grinding & love what you do! 🙏🏽
Do it!!! You already have subscribers! ☺️ I had been putting it off for a year! I uploaded and deleted. I was scared, but what do I have to lose? Nothing! So I recently started uploading again. You can do it!!!
i don't know why i became teary eyed on the FEAR part. I'm planning to grow and create my own channel soon. deep down i want to share my own content and just create videos it has been my passion since Friendster days. Thank you for this Video this kinda worked like a small push to get me started.
The beautiful thing about this video is that if you swap the "CZcams channel" with anything you are interested in in creation, the majority of it still stands still.
This is one of the most honest videos I’ve seen regarding the subject of doing CZcams. Thank you for being straight forward about the topics many people or other creators don’t find “attractive” for the sake of just getting views.
OMG, sorry to double post - but your last supportive statement! Love what a kind thing to do! I really like nice humans. Everyone be like Lana!!! Be Kind!
I am about to start filming for my first video on CZcams. Honestly, I never thought this idea of creating content on this platform will cross my mind but here I am, eager to learn how it works & what can I do to promote, share, spread self-love & care to people. I want to reach most of the audience because I know YT viewers & YT itself deserves to be overwhelmed with such empowering videos like yours, Lana Blakely. I've been watching you for how many days now & I'm so lucky to find you. Your videos are worth watching! I hope someday I'll be able to influence like you. I know CZcams journey is a slow process- it needs you to be patient & motivated. Life would surely throw rocks at your dreams but don't feel discouraged about it; instead use it to start up & make your way to achieve them! ❤️❤️❤️
This video was very inspirational to me and I am so grateful that you uploaded it. I believe that the universe is blessing each of us and I am so excited to continue to grow my channel. Best of luck to everybody out there!

When you look at how many watch YT compared to how many are consistent with their channel's it is silly for me to ever think it is oversaturated. Thank you for this video it was so helpful!
I am SO GLAD you decided to make a video about this, even though it's not much related to your channel. Mainly because, I find your content some of the most refreshing and unique content I subscribe to on the platform, and am happy you are sharing your youtube journey with us!! BTW, I feel the same way, never been happier doing anything else. What a great opportunity 👌
Maybe you can do a follow up on this, and go more into detail about which videos or topics gave your channel the tremendous growth and how long it took to get to 100k subscribers.
Loved hearing your words on this Lana!! It’s been very inspiring seeing your channel grow so much, I remember watching your videos when your channel was a lot smaller. I also make CZcams videos & I try to keep in interesting, right this moment I’m working on improving the way I speak on camera I really wanna be more authentic! ❤️
Your channel was a big inspiration for me, although I’ve been doing CZcams for a few years on multiple different channels, Your videos inspired me to make videos in English, even though it’s not my native language, to share my thoughts, my experiences, and what I learned, so hopefully I can inspire others to change their lives for the better. Now this is only what I focus on. This is what drives me everyday, the idea that my videos can impact the lives of others. Since I focused on delivering value, I saw growth on my channel. Thank you Lana.
Hey I’m also a “failed” business owner 😂 I was barely 19, couldn’t drive, and fresh out of beauty school - armed with business cards, walking into networking events 🤦🏽♀️ What’s your first language? My second is Spanish 🇵🇷
How honest and real can anyone be? Lana : yes It's so refreshing to see your content even after 2 years... Not even one video of yours is off or bad. How you do that? So relatable... so relatable So impressed... So happy to see you grow. 😊👏
I’ve always wanted to share my work, my thoughts and experiences so I’ve started CZcams. And I’m glade I’ve made this step because I have never felt this happy before. Your work inspired me to keep continuing even if my work doesn’t reach much people because I know my goal wich is to grow as an artist, to do better art and knowing it, helps me everyday to stay motivated. 🌱
So impressed with how you explained everything, I’m a new CZcamsr myself and I have been lacking but from this video I’ve got so much energy to keep going 😊
I honestly feel this! That’s why I state on my channel that “it’s never too late to start something you’re passionate about” because it is something I stand by. I started getting singing lessons last year in November when I was 25 years old, I’ve wanted them ever since I was 15 I but never knew where get them. I finally found a place last year and I’ve been getting weekly lessons ever since. I’ve wanted to start a CZcams channel for so long, but never had the fine but now I make time! For anyone who’s interested my YT will be about personal growth, my business ventures, my singing videos, make up videos and tips and tricks on how to stay motivated and obtain a steady, positive mindset. I was bullied a lot when I was younger, so I want to share with people how you can overcome it and love yourself again! 😌❤️
"You don't need to be Great to get started but You need to get Started to be Great" 😎 As you said- Patience, Consistency and Hard is all you need! Thanks for this lovely videos🙏
Watching this for a little extra motivation. It's only been a month for me but I can't help but compare myself to other people who have already perfected Content Creation! Thank you, Lana!
The way you talk and share your tips is very captivating and so down to earth. This makes your channel so refreshing ✨ I started a CZcams channel and I've uploaded two travel vlogs ✈️ Thank you again for the advice
Danke Lana! This video made me realize how many amazing videos I'm watching on CZcams that I never used to 1. Let the creators know in a comment how grateful I am for their content and 2. Share my reflections on the video with them and in that way attract people to my own channel (it's German though), that connect to the things I say. That's why this is the start of a new era - from now on I'm going to comment every single CZcams video that I watch and make sure that the comment is going to create value for both the creator and myself. I love your honest and straight-forward approach in your videos and it's such a relief from all the fake and attention-seeking techniques many other CZcamsrs use in their videos. When you said: "I gave up any social life that I had - which wasn't much - but I gave it up" at 4:03 I really felt sad but also happy for you at the same time because of the fact that with CZcams you found a job or rather a way of living your life that is apparently making you as happy as no other job has ever done. Thank you and don't stop producing this authentic content.
I love you so much Lana! Your videos have helped me so much! Wishing you all the best in your journey. You are an incredible and inspirational woman ❤️
I just found you through the algorithm of a youtuber mentioning your name. I really love how calm you are and your way of telling stories. It's amazing to see how far you've come and you're so right about patience. I started my channel one year ago where I talk about tight curly hair care. It's not an easy road because many don't see afro hair as curly hair, but we'll see where the journey will take me.
Congratulations on hitting 1k subscribers! It's so motivating to see other starters like me reach such milestones. I do have a CZcams channel where i post mixes and songs of other upcoming artists (taking people up with me lol). Hope you check it out and let me know what people think about it!
Watched from start to finish. Thank you for talking openly and sharing your tips in a calm and engaging way! I recently started a channel myself and am happy to learn more about how to grow it.
Wishing you a lot of luck with that! I started it recently as well and I’m so amazed with this CZcams nice people environment. Everyone is very supportive and communicative! Once again, good luck 🍀
I have been watching so many videos about starting a CZcams channel but yours made me feel really calm and motivated at the same time. You have convinced me to get better audio for my videos, staying patient, and staying consistent. Thank you for this video!
I really love how you view youtube. I've started my youtube channel last year and have posted only 5 or 6 last year. This year, I am going to post more not being fearful! Thank you for the warm and calm energy!
Awesome video and congratulations to your success! It's also great to see such inspiring personalities just doing their thing and being successful. 😍 We're doing great on Instagram with over 40k followers but still working on putting out content regularly on youtube to succeed here as well. Basically it's the same as on Instagram, consistency and patience. That's all we need here 🥰 Keep on going and all the best 💛
This is honestly something I needed to hear, I've always been too scared to start a channel and I've always gone back and forth with thinking if it will be sustainable. I wish I could give you a hug because this is the push I needed 🤗
This is a blessing to watch, still plugging away as a life coach, working with goals journals, and affirmations, I truly appreciate this information, thank you from the bottom of my heart
I see you created this video 2yrs ago and it is still so relevant to today! Love it! Applying all of them to my small CZcams channel about Slow Living ✨
I just came across your channel and this video touched my heart and soul. I started my channel during the pandemic and it hasn’t been easy but I appreciate the real advice. It’s nice to know you can still succeed on this platform. I’m striving to get better day by day. My channel focuses on finance and real estate.
I wanted to start youtube for years but didn’t due to my own self limiting beliefs and excuses. I have finally started and there is no looking back. Advise from a rookie- For people who are scared to start, just go and do it. You are bigger than what is making you anxious. I make beauty, fashion and lifestyle videos... still trying to figure out but this is for now :D
Same!! I had a back and forth mindset about youtube for a couple years (7+ years) & when quarantine started, I thought why not. What’s the worst thing that could happen? I’m so happy I started! CZcams has been my light and has made me so much happier 😊
Love this! Limiting beliefs can be so powerful and they can stop us from living at our full potential if we allow them too! Love your encouraging message ♡ thanks!
This video got recommended, it was a pleasant reminder for me. I transitioned to doing CZcams full time in January. My channel is about documenting my chaotic good life through cinematic- vlogs, tutorials, and reviews. I also enjoy creating cinematic though pieces as well. Definitely subscribed to your channel, thanks!
I just checked out your channel & watched the 1st few seconds of your 'lost and alone' video and immediately subscribed...Something about you clicked with me & you just became a new source of inspiration!! I think you sort of embody what I've been envisioning my channel to be like. Definitely will start following your journey :) much love, Jala
Your voice is very calming and truthful feeling. I started my channel 4 years ago but only started taking it seriously about 3 months ago. The growth has picked up pace considerably. Thank you for this video. 🙏🏼
Finding it so hard to be consistent especially when I look at my numbers but I know that I need to be patient and that numbers aren’t everything🙏 thank you for this
This video is so encouraging, thank you! I just started my youtube channel which focuses on health, lifestyle and home. Will definitely be using your tips on my youtube journey!
This was super helpful and I loved how naturally you speak on this video. I have been following you since those early days, and have been incredibly inspired by your work.
Having the persistence to continue uploading no matter if there are views/subs were the toughest part for me. I had spurts of 10 upload months but then the fire just dies off... Thanks for the tips Lana!
Wow, I just re-started my youtube, scraped all my old stuff and started a new niche, filming my weightloss/muscle building journey. The whole blood sweat and tears of it all. I wanted to stop and say thank you for your video. I felt like i was sitting down having a chat with a friend about my path. I wish you nothing but luck, definatly gained a new subscriber. And to all of you! Good luck on your journey please leave your channel below so i can check out all the amazing people on this platform.
Being a youtuber is my dream since 2017, and I finally get the courage to start my youtube channel in 2020. So many things has changed, but I'm glad I still choose to start anyway. My channel is about tutorial, education, and humor (I deliver my message in bahasa Indonesia). Thanks for the advice 😍👍✨
Great tips. I think the most important thing is to do what you love. If your YT channel is about your passion it will be much easier to sustain it. Good luck to everyone out there!
I found the analogy of "lady algorithm" and her enjoying when people spend more time on a person's channel (creating a higher likelihood of the visitors returning) insightful and helpful. I'd never heard the algorithm explained that way, really helpful for small channel help! TY! 😄
What's something that you've wanted to start/pursue but haven't yet? (don't forget to promote your channel below!)
i want to pursue relaunching my vintage business i had 2 years ago. I went travelling for 6 months and allowed procrastination and hesitation getting in the way. The past few months i've been planning and this quarantine has allowed me to prepare. Im ready ❤️ also guys feel free to follow my channel - Im always happy to support back ✨
Thanks so much for this video, I can tell you put so much thought into the advice. I myself have been wanting to make videos teaching coding online, but have been putting it off for a while even though I know it can give me the freedom I want.

I think for success we all need to be consistent like to make some schedule, that's the hardest move in the whole project of growing our channel, lots of time I would find myself working and then pausing at some point hmm
I like that you speak softly - this is rare in CZcams, where everyone seems to be screaming
True :)
True indeed ❤❤❤
I agree
So true l wish I could be calm like that but because am struggling I can’t afford that now.I think a time will come when l will ease down for now am gonna keep screaming 😂 I guess #BrianinAmerica
I like the way she explains. I didn’t even listen to the audio. I just read the translation and I got inspired.
"You are already failing by not trying" So truee
yesss. You miss 100% of the shots that you don't take.

"lady algorithm" I am gonna start using this phrase. For me, I feel like many can relate to this, I have always wanted to start a yt channel, but I always allowed fear to get the best of me. I finally got the courage and posted my first video just a few days ago. I finally decided to try. 😊
LOL I liked it too. It reminded me of "Lady Rona" what I've been calling the Coronavirus. LOL
good for you Sandy! I know I giggled a bit when I first heard the "lady algorithm" term .. Wishing you all the best, I started diving into my channel lately and getting really consistent with daily content .. it is very true that patience is for sure required. I really enjoy it. and it is fun seeing the small wins and the sparkles that CZcams puts out when you make your little wins ... Keep going, beautiful soul!!

Lets support each other. Lets grow together and stay connected.
That seems to be the common denominator of successful people.
100%
True! That's why will keep making videos too despite how busy real job is :)
i have been for youtube for 7 years and I can say it is hard work. Im in the process of rebranding myself and my channel and be more Me.
“You’re already failing by not trying” This statement just gave me new energy to create content.
Powerful quote
I know right ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
This video was so motivational! I started my lifestyle + beauty youtube channel a month ago and it has been very hard! But it was nice to be reminded that patience is important and something I haven’t really heard anyone else is say is the matter of “luck”. Great video!
It’s so hard!!! I agree. Small CZcamsr here ♥️
I guess you found the "perfect time" to upload this video. I've been putting off making a channel for like three months, because of fear. Thank you so much for this.
Do it!!
me too, so glad that this was updated. I see you as a relatable yet good role model for what I want in my life and what i am working towards Lana!!
Awesome, imagine that feeling when you start recording your first video, let alone press the upload button. Just do it! Keep grinding & love what you do! 🙏🏽
same here just uploaded my first video yesterday and it feels good so just start that channel
Do it!!! You already have subscribers! ☺️ I had been putting it off for a year! I uploaded and deleted. I was scared, but what do I have to lose? Nothing! So I recently started uploading again. You can do it!!!
i don't know why i became teary eyed on the FEAR part. I'm planning to grow and create my own channel soon. deep down i want to share my own content and just create videos it has been my passion since Friendster days. Thank you for this Video this kinda worked like a small push to get me started.
The beautiful thing about this video is that if you swap the "CZcams channel" with anything you are interested in in creation, the majority of it still stands still.
Sending good vibes to everyone else trying to start a successful CZcams channel !!!! 🥰
Thank you :)
Thanks!!! Sending good vibes your way as well!!!! ❤️
Thank you!!! Sending good vibes right at you!!! Xx 🥰
Thank you love, it's finally happening for me 🥰
Let's go, Let's go! A Successful CZcams Channel, Yeah!
This is one of the most honest videos I’ve seen regarding the subject of doing CZcams. Thank you for being straight forward about the topics many people or other creators don’t find “attractive” for the sake of just getting views.
OMG, sorry to double post - but your last supportive statement! Love what a kind thing to do! I really like nice humans. Everyone be like Lana!!! Be Kind!
I like how you explained that not everyone is going to rock with you, the people you truly connect with will vibe and support. Nice video
@@patriciamedia how?
I am about to start filming for my first video on CZcams. Honestly, I never thought this idea of creating content on this platform will cross my mind but here I am, eager to learn how it works & what can I do to promote, share, spread self-love & care to people. I want to reach most of the audience because I know YT viewers & YT itself deserves to be overwhelmed with such empowering videos like yours, Lana Blakely. I've been watching you for how many days now & I'm so lucky to find you. Your videos are worth watching! I hope someday I'll be able to influence like you. I know CZcams journey is a slow process- it needs you to be patient & motivated. Life would surely throw rocks at your dreams but don't feel discouraged about it; instead use it to start up & make your way to achieve them! ❤️❤️❤️
I did to wish you the best
Even i started newly wanna be friends?:)
Seeing someone talk about a topic they're deeply passionate about is so attractive i swear
Albert Jou totally agree!!
This video was very inspirational to me and I am so grateful that you uploaded it. I believe that the universe is blessing each of us and I am so excited to continue to grow my channel. Best of luck to everybody out there!

When you look at how many watch YT compared to how many are consistent with their channel's it is silly for me to ever think it is oversaturated. Thank you for this video it was so helpful!
I am SO GLAD you decided to make a video about this, even though it's not much related to your channel. Mainly because, I find your content some of the most refreshing and unique content I subscribe to on the platform, and am happy you are sharing your youtube journey with us!! BTW, I feel the same way, never been happier doing anything else. What a great opportunity 👌
Thanks a lot!!
@@LanaBlakely Absolutely! Thanks for making the videos 😊
Maybe you can do a follow up on this, and go more into detail about which videos or topics gave your channel the tremendous growth and how long it took to get to 100k subscribers.
You explain everything so calmly💗, now I feel reassured n hopefully my channel will be successful as well.
Best of luck
Loved hearing your words on this Lana!! It’s been very inspiring seeing your channel grow so much, I remember watching your videos when your channel was a lot smaller. I also make CZcams videos & I try to keep in interesting, right this moment I’m working on improving the way I speak on camera I really wanna be more authentic! ❤️
aw thank you. I still struggle sometimes with truly being myself in front of the camera. It's a journey!
@@LanaBlakely I know right! :)
I’m literally watching you because I think you’re eye brows are amazing
Your channel was a big inspiration for me,
although I’ve been doing CZcams for a few years on multiple different channels, Your videos inspired me to make videos in English, even though it’s not my native language, to share my thoughts, my experiences, and what I learned, so hopefully I can inspire others to change their lives for the better. Now this is only what I focus on.
This is what drives me everyday, the idea that my videos can impact the lives of others.
Since I focused on delivering value, I saw growth on my channel.
Thank you Lana.
Just saw your recent video and I got to say it was so inspiring man! I needed this, thank you. I subscribed.
@@eskieski2480 Thank you! this was my intention with that video, I'm glad the message resonated with you :)
Hey I’m also a “failed” business owner 😂 I was barely 19, couldn’t drive, and fresh out of beauty school - armed with business cards, walking into networking events 🤦🏽♀️ What’s your first language? My second is Spanish 🇵🇷
That's awesome. Keep it up!!
How honest and real can anyone be?
Lana : yes
It's so refreshing to see your content even after 2 years... Not even one video of yours is off or bad. How you do that? So relatable... so relatable
So impressed... So happy to see you grow. 😊👏
I’ve always wanted to share my work, my thoughts and experiences so I’ve started CZcams. And I’m glade I’ve made this step because I have never felt this happy before. Your work inspired me to keep continuing even if my work doesn’t reach much people because I know my goal wich is to grow as an artist, to do better art and knowing it, helps me everyday to stay motivated. 🌱
Yay, keep going 😊😊
So impressed with how you explained everything, I’m a new CZcamsr myself and I have been lacking but from this video I’ve got so much energy to keep going 😊
I agree with you 100%.
👍
I honestly feel this! That’s why I state on my channel that “it’s never too late to start something you’re passionate about” because it is something I stand by. I started getting singing lessons last year in November when I was 25 years old, I’ve wanted them ever since I was 15 I but never knew where get them. I finally found a place last year and I’ve been getting weekly lessons ever since. I’ve wanted to start a CZcams channel for so long, but never had the fine but now I make time! For anyone who’s interested my YT will be about personal growth, my business ventures, my singing videos, make up videos and tips and tricks on how to stay motivated and obtain a steady, positive mindset. I was bullied a lot when I was younger, so I want to share with people how you can overcome it and love yourself again! 😌❤️
Love that! I'll have to check out your channel!
MZGZ thank you for your time ❤️
Yes I am all about just going for your passion, no matter if other people might think you're too old or any other excuse. Best of luck Leanne xx
@@BillyWillows Amen to that, thank you so much, it means a lot. I hope you have been well ❤️ xx
Beautifully formatted and presented topic. You're an excellent facilitator Lana.
Thanks very much for the content,
Daniel
"You don't need to be Great to get started but You need to get Started to be Great" 😎
As you said- Patience, Consistency and Hard is all you need! Thanks for this lovely videos🙏
SO TRUE
Agreed
S184 done.. Hope you will visit my channel too ya.. Tq
Amazing
I love that you call it “Lady Algorithm”
I second that.
haha me too
I LOVE IT TOO. haha
Me too 👍
Hahahaha trueeee
Watching this for a little extra motivation. It's only been a month for me but I can't help but compare myself to other people who have already perfected Content Creation! Thank you, Lana!
me too! We will get there surely
Just subscribed to you girly I’m in the same boat!!! We got thissssss
I'm always consistently reminding myself to not compare my own channel to others! but really it's very nice finally starting out youtube..
Same here😫 but don't give up!
I started my channel during quarantine. Telling stories is my passion so... I am really working hard on it. Thank you for sharing the message✨ ❤
👏🏻👏🏻
The way you talk and share your tips is very captivating and so down to earth. This makes your channel so refreshing ✨
I started a CZcams channel and I've uploaded two travel vlogs ✈️ Thank you again for the advice
Great ..we can sub?
your voice is so relaxing!!
CZcams recommended this video to me and I'm hooked already, you're so calm❤️
Danke Lana! This video made me realize how many amazing videos I'm watching on CZcams that I never used to 1. Let the creators know in a comment how grateful I am for their content and 2. Share my reflections on the video with them and in that way attract people to my own channel (it's German though), that connect to the things I say.
That's why this is the start of a new era - from now on I'm going to comment every single CZcams video that I watch and make sure that the comment is going to create value for both the creator and myself.
I love your honest and straight-forward approach in your videos and it's such a relief from all the fake and attention-seeking techniques many other CZcamsrs use in their videos. When you said: "I gave up any social life that I had - which wasn't much - but I gave it up" at 4:03 I really felt sad but also happy for you at the same time because of the fact that with CZcams you found a job or rather a way of living your life that is apparently making you as happy as no other job has ever done.
Thank you and don't stop producing this authentic content.
I don’t know but i loved the way she explained!
Me too!
I love you so much Lana! Your videos have helped me so much!
Wishing you all the best in your journey. You are an incredible and inspirational woman ❤️
"When is the timing perfect for anything ever." That's what blew my mind.
I just found you through the algorithm of a youtuber mentioning your name. I really love how calm you are and your way of telling stories. It's amazing to see how far you've come and you're so right about patience. I started my channel one year ago where I talk about tight curly hair care. It's not an easy road because many don't see afro hair as curly hair, but we'll see where the journey will take me.
I needed this video! I started mine last summer and very soon will have 1k! I am looking forward to hear your advices! ❤️
Congratulations on hitting 1k subscribers! It's so motivating to see other starters like me reach such milestones. I do have a CZcams channel where i post mixes and songs of other upcoming artists (taking people up with me lol). Hope you check it out and let me know what people think about it!
Hi downthyme, am a new subscriber to your channel. Hope you subscribes to my channel, it would mean so much to me 😘
@DownThyme How long did it take you to get 1k subscribers
czcams.com/video/mwJkFG71HBY/video.html
Watched from start to finish. Thank you for talking openly and sharing your tips in a calm and engaging way! I recently started a channel myself and am happy to learn more about how to grow it.
Wishing you a lot of luck with that! I started it recently as well and I’m so amazed with this CZcams nice people environment. Everyone is very supportive and communicative! Once again, good luck 🍀
I have been watching so many videos about starting a CZcams channel but yours made me feel really calm and motivated at the same time. You have convinced me to get better audio for my videos, staying patient, and staying consistent. Thank you for this video!
Happy to hear. Best of luck :-)
I really love how you view youtube. I've started my youtube channel last year and have posted only 5 or 6 last year. This year, I am going to post more not being fearful! Thank you for the warm and calm energy!
Awesome video and congratulations to your success! It's also great to see such inspiring personalities just doing their thing and being successful. 😍 We're doing great on Instagram with over 40k followers but still working on putting out content regularly on youtube to succeed here as well. Basically it's the same as on Instagram, consistency and patience. That's all we need here 🥰 Keep on going and all the best 💛
This is honestly something I needed to hear, I've always been too scared to start a channel and I've always gone back and forth with thinking if it will be sustainable. I wish I could give you a hug because this is the push I needed 🤗
Starting something is indeed hard!! Small CZcamsrs here💛🌻 I love the way you explain in a very honest way!!
The way you explained it is amazing, clear and honest. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your knowledge 😍💕
This is a blessing to watch, still plugging away as a life coach, working with goals journals, and affirmations, I truly appreciate this information, thank you from the bottom of my heart
I absolutely love your videos and your voice is so calming!
Watched this from start to finish and I must say, it's super helpful 🙌🏾
Thank you for this💖💖
Motivated me to keep going
Support
I see you created this video 2yrs ago and it is still so relevant to today! Love it! Applying all of them to my small CZcams channel about Slow Living ✨
I just came across your channel and this video touched my heart and soul. I started my channel during the pandemic and it hasn’t been easy but I appreciate the real advice. It’s nice to know you can still succeed on this platform. I’m striving to get better day by day. My channel focuses on finance and real estate.
I wanted to start youtube for years but didn’t due to my own self limiting beliefs and excuses. I have finally started and there is no looking back. Advise from a rookie- For people who are scared to start, just go and do it. You are bigger than what is making you anxious.
I make beauty, fashion and lifestyle videos... still trying to figure out but this is for now :D
Same!! I had a back and forth mindset about youtube for a couple years (7+ years) & when quarantine started, I thought why not. What’s the worst thing that could happen? I’m so happy I started! CZcams has been my light and has made me so much happier 😊
Saw your channel, good luck with it!
YES! amen sister!! just keep going!! we are bigger than our fear and discomfort!
Love this! Limiting beliefs can be so powerful and they can stop us from living at our full potential if we allow them too! Love your encouraging message ♡ thanks!
@@TiffanyVi right on! Quarantine was just a great push for a lot of us. That is inspiring how you are pursuing CZcams!
This video got recommended, it was a pleasant reminder for me.
I transitioned to doing CZcams full time in January. My channel is about documenting my chaotic good life through cinematic- vlogs, tutorials, and reviews. I also enjoy creating cinematic though pieces as well.
Definitely subscribed to your channel, thanks!
just checked out your page and now I'm subscribed, love your energy
I just checked out your channel & watched the 1st few seconds of your 'lost and alone' video and immediately subscribed...Something about you clicked with me & you just became a new source of inspiration!! I think you sort of embody what I've been envisioning my channel to be like. Definitely will start following your journey :) much love, Jala
@@thesandiexperience s144 done.. Hope you will visit my channel too.. Tq
@@UniquelyJala s109 done.. Hope you will visit my channel too ya. Tq
Just subscribed! Please support me also as newbie in vlogging, I need you. Thank you
Your voice is very calming and truthful feeling. I started my channel 4 years ago but only started taking it seriously about 3 months ago. The growth has picked up pace considerably. Thank you for this video. 🙏🏼
Hoping everyone that reads this finds success in CZcams and stays consistent 💯 nice video btw 👌
Thank you, I just started. Hopefully I do 😊
@@maryeld6416 me too! GL
#223, i just subbed your chunnel, subs back buddy, let gro together buddy
Thanks so much! You too!!!
Thank u hope for the best
you are soo relaxing and love listening to you...
Finding it so hard to be consistent especially when I look at my numbers but I know that I need to be patient and that numbers aren’t everything🙏 thank you for this
would you mind checking out my channel. I just started mine and hoping to grow ❤️
@@AmandaHayes_16 same dear...I make informative videos... would you kindly check....i checked yours and subscribed
This video is so encouraging, thank you! I just started my youtube channel which focuses on health, lifestyle and home. Will definitely be using your tips on my youtube journey!
This was super helpful and I loved how naturally you speak on this video. I have been following you since those early days, and have been incredibly inspired by your work.
Having the persistence to continue uploading no matter if there are views/subs were the toughest part for me. I had spurts of 10 upload months but then the fire just dies off...
Thanks for the tips Lana!
Wow, I just re-started my youtube, scraped all my old stuff and started a new niche, filming my weightloss/muscle building journey. The whole blood sweat and tears of it all. I wanted to stop and say thank you for your video. I felt like i was sitting down having a chat with a friend about my path. I wish you nothing but luck, definatly gained a new subscriber. And to all of you! Good luck on your journey please leave your channel below so i can check out all the amazing people on this platform.
Being a youtuber is my dream since 2017, and I finally get the courage to start my youtube channel in 2020. So many things has changed, but I'm glad I still choose to start anyway. My channel is about tutorial, education, and humor (I deliver my message in bahasa Indonesia). Thanks for the advice 😍👍✨
We should help each other grow really
Vibing With Gladys am here for you

Everyone together....let's just rock....on CZcams
Lol I wanted to do CZcams ever since 2011 and I’ve just started now 😂 I stalled 6 damn years
Great tips. I think the most important thing is to do what you love. If your YT channel is about your passion it will be much easier to sustain it. Good luck to everyone out there!
Yes for sure!
Good luck to you too. I hope we'll testify soon
Omggg I legit feel like she was speaking directly at me 🥺 This was extremely helpful, thanks for this 💖
👍
I found the analogy of "lady algorithm" and her enjoying when people spend more time on a person's channel (creating a higher likelihood of the visitors returning) insightful and helpful. I'd never heard the algorithm explained that way, really helpful for small channel help! TY! 😄
