It’s not that I have regrets (okay, maybe I do have ONE regret) but I definitely think that I could have grown my channel much more easily and much faster. So today I’m sharing 5 things that I’d do differently if I was starting from scratch on YouTube in 2024.

    I started my journey a week ago 😁 I have 19 subscribers! And I already feel so connected. If not now, when? Just do it! This is my motivation to you 💪😀

  • @justbetterwithcoffee
    This is my 3rd try at starting a YouTube channel and for the 1st time I am past 350 subscribers 😅 so excited to see where this journey will take me !

    "Entertaining enthusiasts rather than educating students" love this idea

    Being a youtuber is my dream since I was 14 years old. I'm so happy that now I can fully enbrace this dream job. I've posted only two videos last year, got a little nervous and stressed, almost quit. But thankfully I'm posting a new video monday, have already recorded four more of them and I'm planning to post seven in July. So excited with my 56 subscribers!!
  • @EveryFurtherMile
    BTW...I LOVE all the graphics you're drawing and adding to your videos. They help me so much!
  • @D.Fay_Coe
    today you win the internet for using the word "horcruxes" in the context of building businesses. Well played Katie. another reason to love your content. I'm currently just focusing on youtube and a much smaller secondary focus on IG. Trying to build back into a regular posting schedule but not a daily posting schedule. that got to be a little much.
  • @Jack_Clemans
    You advice to post videos that help people to get invested in you as the creator is SO GOOD! I make personal finance videos, so I assumed my viewers just wanted the education/information. But my highest viewed video is also the only one where I talk about my personal experience. Thanks for the reminder and keep it up! 👍
  • @sarahconard5894
    I always love when you post, you drop SO MUCH useful knowledge in an easy-to-understand way that makes YouTube feel approachable! HBD and thanks for all your hard work! ♥️
