I appreciate the humble reminder that chaos isn’t a plan
Very true
Hi Katie, thank you for your transparency. It’s interesting because being a content creator seems like an easy breezy lifestyle, but in reality it requires so much work, meticulous planning and execution. Granted you’re doing what you love so I’m sure it’s very rewarding. You inspire me. Thanks again for your helpful content!
The thought and creative that you put into these videos is insane , standing ovation my dear 👏. I struggle so much with my channel. Because I’m not consistent, but I’m not consistent because I don’t have a routine or schedule. So I love watching your content to learn how to get ny ass there lol. Thanks for always teaching us everything!
I feel the same way.
I just want to give a BIG shout-out to Shelby for making the newsletters! I am a subscriber of the newsletter and it is BY FAR, THE MOST informative newsletter I (actually) read. I've started to take the IG trend topics mentioned in the newsletter and schedule them into my Notion content calendar so that I can refer back to them when I need an idea for one of my content topics. It's definitely taken the stress out of content planning and has inspired me to put my own spin on the suggestions mentioned in the newsletter. Thank you Katie for always producing quality and really useful content for your viewers (and newsletter subscribers). If anyone is still sleeping on subscribing to your newsletter, I hope they read this comment. ☺
thanks so much!! I will definitely pass that along to Shelby :) so happy to hear you find the newsletter valuable!
Thanks for this comment!!
I checked the Creatorly website and couldn't find a newsletter 🕵♂ Lol - what newsletter are you mentioning here? I'd love to check it out.
Katie, I have always to create a CZcams channel with the amount of content I have. I was lost and then I stumbled upon your channel. You Are so inspiring. I am gonna do it now! Make it happen!
That’s one of the best video I have watched about CZcams channel!
You’re so transparent and real.
Tysm
I could watch you for hours!
Would you make one more video like that?
I’m sure your weeks are different!
I struggle a lot with planning, to do list and as much as those “be consistent” videos are encouraging, this video really showed me tips I haven’t ever thought about!!
Please do more videos like this showing your weekly schedule !!!
Omg I love that you mentioned the second guessing halfway through making a video, that is so oddly reassuring that you still feel that way 😅 also yayyy learning Spanish!! 🎉
“I hope this is interesting…” omg I’m so happy to hear this happens to you too!
Hey! Fellow creator from Canada!! Nice to see Canadian content creators :) We just started our creator journey & loving all the helpful tips! 🤗
To hear the at you question yourself mid filming is soooooo relatable. Oof. Thank you for your content! ❤
Couldn’t agree more that getting ready helps so much!
Hey also from Canada! Love the plastic bag diffuser hack on the LED light 😂. This is so helpful to see I recently set myself a schedule based loosely off your "starting from zero 2023" video and it's so nice to have an actionable plan. I know I need to just get filming/uploading in order to see what works but it's still really helpful to see others' workflow! Would love to see your grow on instagram plan too I'm taking a break from there to focus elsewhere as it's exhausting on IG! Thank you for your insights!
Heyy! 👋 Thanks for your video! It’s very inspiring and refreshing! I’m also from Canada! So really nice to see a CZcamsr from here! 🥰
having a routine of getting ready helps so much for me to feel like I’m really working and focused!
This is such a nice “day in the life” video. It’s a good reminder that YouTubing is hard work!
Loved this sooo much! You don’t just tell us what to do, you show us - so powerful. Thanks for all the all you put into each one.

Thank you for that video! I just hit 1000 subscribers on YT and I’m still a noob, but your content helps me a lot as I have so many things I want to create at once. Often I just end up getting too overwhelmed.. helps a lot to see how you work and it inspires me a lot! 🥰

Hi Katie! My name is Lucia and I have absolutely just fallen in love with your channel, your vibe, and the incredible content you share with the whole world! (I've been on kind of a binge of at least 5 of your videos and I finally realized I needed to say "Hi!") 😅🙂 I am just filling up my notebook with notes right now as I desperately try to figure out a plan for my new small business marketing strategy! I'm subscribed now and super excited to see what you create next! Thank you for being so awesome!

This video was so inspiring! It's cool to see how you organize your week and how much care you put into the whole process. I'm currently figuring out how to get back into content creation as I miss it so much, but the thought of starting is honestly overwhelming. I took some notes on recurring weekly tasks to break it down into a more manageable routine on top of my full time job and I'm feeling excited and energized to move forward! Thank you Katie!
Minnesoooooota! Yay. Also, thank you so much for sharing your process
I love the newsletter! Shout out to Shelby 🥳🙌🏾
I love this video Katie! I want to work up to creating an art vlog series, but was having some struggles lol so this kind of daily/weekly vlog video is super helpful.
I’ve been so much more productive on CZcams, in large part because of your helpful and actionable videos 💃🏾✨🖤
hey!! Just wanted to tell you that I love your content! Super interesting, clear, and the way you are, your personality! It's a real pleasure to watch you! thank you for your honesty and authenticity!
loved this video. i love watching your videos especially these kind because it gets me motivated and helps me figure out a schedule for myself. working for yourself is challenging when it comes to set times for things to get done. its all just a scramble in my head.
You have know idea how much your videos have changed my content creating flow for the better. Thank you so much, Katie!
I love this vlog, it’s so real! 🤗
Helpful video to a newbie! Thank you!! So glad to hear other people have self doubt as well, but knowing that pushing through is essential. Thank you Katie!

Heyyy 👋🏽 Seeing you go thru your content creation routine let’s me know my little beginning set up is right where it needs to be. Thanks Katie! Now to master the B-roll!
thats truly realistic insight that feels doable. thanks for sharing this :)
Hey! I appreciate your content so much. I've been struggling with time management as a creator, so I enjoy seeing the systems that work for other people :)
So inspiring! Thank you 🤩
I love this! As someone who just became a full-time creator, the first thing I do when I wake up is work, but it's nice to be reminded that having a routine works best.
Your videos are so helpful! ❤ Some of the best advice, and you give such clear examples. Thank you 🥰 Stuff I can actually use 🙌
Thank you, Katie, for sharing your expertise in such a clear and relatable manner. I would love to hear more about growing your two new accounts- as I will soon be attempting this myself. Best wishes and continued success and happiness!❤️✨
So helpful! Email marketing is SO powerful
Love your content! So helpful and I appreciate how you are honest about how you’re feeling along the way because I can relate to those feelings on those not-so-productive days but trying to be kind to oneself. Thank You!
Hey!!! I always love the day in the life! They are super cool 😎.
Katie for me this is the most helpful video of all your videos! I tend to micromanage time, fall off the wagon, and get frustrated, but the weekly plan has helped so much over the last few weeks. Thank you so much ❤
You are such a positive person
Really loving the advice and examples you give in your vid’s. I’m just starting my journey to hopefully become a full time content creator and these are really helpful and encouraging. ❤

This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and you are so sweet and such a hard worker and intelligent and Jesus just loves you girl. He is your strength and your rest.

Great content, Katie! I would love to see your journey of growing the Katie & Dan in a Van. I'm enjoying this channel as I contemplate starting my own channel.

You're kind of a superhero.

I'm just starting a channel and you have given me so much help. Thank you so much, Christina
Thanks for this! I recently monetized my channel and working on finding a good weekly routine for my content creation, or rather comfort in the routine ive made, as after watching your video Im realizing I do very similar to you. So thank you for the relaxed shoulders you just gave me! I too think I have to keep working till the very end, and no we dont! Lol
