The answer to how long it takes to grow a YouTube

The answer to how long it takes to grow a YouTube channel to 1000+ subscribers isn’t as important as you may think. It could take as little as one month, or perhaps even more than a year!
Yes, getting to 1000 subs and qualifying for the YouTube Partner Program and earning revenue from AdSense is exciting, but if you focus instead on how you can create video content that is truly valuable for your viewers... THIS will be the lever that grows your channel and gets you views and clients.
Remember that quality trumps quantity when it comes to YouTube video content.
Create your videos, review them and look at how you can make the next one 1% better than the last. Doing this consistently will get you to 1000+ subscribers.

Forget about trying to buy your way to success wit

Forget about trying to buy your way to success with fake subs and views, instead you should be investing your time and energy into mastering your video content! It’s all about making real connections - no artificial sweeteners necessary.
The secret to success on YouTube is creating videos that connect with your ideal audience.
It’s not just about churning out videos as quickly as possible, but rather taking the time to consider what your viewers need and want from you, and delivering it in an engaging way.
Keep creating, keep reviewing, keep making those improvements for the next video. Doing this regularly will get you the subs and views you dream of.

If you’ve been told that the best way to grow yo

If you’ve been told that the best way to grow your YouTube channel is to ‘publish often and consistently and you will make it’ - think again! Posting videos too frequently could be destroying your channel growth, instead of helping it.
“Publish often and consistently” is thrown around a lot because the YouTube algorithm values recency of content and relevancy of content.
The big issue is that if publishing consistently becomes more important than the quality of your videos and you don’t take time to learn, process and grow from what you just did…what happens is you jump from one video to another without the chance to review for improvements.
You prevent learning about how you can make the next video better and repeat the same mistakes that you carry into the next video.
This isn’t something we think about. Instead, we get caught up in the hustle and pumping out videos.
Publish when you have a good video.
Believe it or not, there is no schedule that if you don’t follow will lead to your channel’s imminent death. Better quality content means that’s more potential for your content to perform and reach your audience.
Fit your schedule around how long it takes you to create a good-quality video and focus on consistency of effort more than posting frequently.

Wow, it feels so good to be back and creating content for my YouTube channel again! I’m excited to share all the insights I’m learning along with the new training and tutorials to help you grow with video for your business.
My 3 takeaways which are also handy if you’re just getting started with your YouTube journey:
Be gentle with yourself - it will feel a bit rusty at first. Choose topics you know you can create quickly and go easy on yourself.
Block out the time and commit to it - focus more on the time than the end product, and you’ll get there eventually.
Have fun - creating content should be an enjoyable experience, so make sure you have fun with it!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨The key to success

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨The key to success on YouTube is to make videos that people want to watch.✨
And finding the balance between topics people are searching for and what you actually want to create videos about is the art of YouTube.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you uncover the topics to create videos about?
Keyword research is how.
Trust me, this is something that your future YouTube self will thank you for when you create videos that actually get views AND that lead to sales for you! 🙏🏼
And it's not as complicated or scary as you may think it is.
1. Use my top recommended tool: KeywordsEverywhere. It's super affordable and easy to use.
2. Download and install the KeywordsEverywhere Chrome extension. Once installed, set up the plug-in and add some credit($10 is plenty to get you started).
3. Start entering topics in the search bar for videos you want to create.
4. Look at the "Search volumes" that KeywordsEverywhere reveals. This is where the magic is. You want to go for keywords that have >1000 searches per month.
5. Look at the "Related searches" for more keyword ideas and keep refining.
6. Check out Askthepublic.com to help generate more keyword ideas and see the search volumes.
Following these steps will ensure that your YouTube videos are successful data-validated topics. 💃🏽💃🏽
But this is just one part of the equation (so much math! LOL).
You need a system that will help you turn your YouTube videos into reliable sales...
So check out my YouTube Masterclass where I'll walk you through exactly how to make it happen.

Do you want to make YouTube videos (and an income

Do you want to make YouTube videos (and an income from them) but aren't sure where to start? 🤯🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll break down some of the most important aspects for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Step 1 - Before you start filming your video, do some research to make sure people are actually searching for it.
Step 2 - Take the time to script it out or create a list of bullet points.
Step 3 - Decide what style you want the video to be. A talking-head video is completely fine and often simplest. Create a list of shots you need to take.
Step 4 - Choose a day and block out a few hours to record.
Step 5 - Hit Record! Film your video content (or Go live!)
Step 6 - Edit your video, either do it yourself or outsource it.
Step 7 - Upload your video and optimise it for YouTube search
Step 8 - Release your video.
Step 9 - Promote your video (in non-spammy ways).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Getting clear on this process will help you understand realistic time requirements and identify which areas you can outsource.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this is only the video creation aspect of things. How do you go from having a YouTube video to generating money? It doesn't work by magic; you'll need a focused plan to make it happen. I go deeper into what's needed in my YouTube Masterclass. Link in bio. ✨

Umm Hey hey 👋🏼👋🏼
I'm back!
After almost a year off Instagram, I’ve missed you guys so much!
Quick recap of the past year:
1️⃣ Gave birth to our incredible daughter - her name is Kai. She is amazing (if you didn't know...surprise!)
2️⃣ Learning all about life as a new mama #relentless (so much vomit and laundry LOL)
3️⃣ Figuring out that work/business/life/balance thing whilst sleep-deprived.
Thanks for joining me on this journey of tech tutorials, tips & insights.
Please say hi in the comments because yaaay!!! I'm back, and I've missed you all!

I love creating videos for YouTube and the YouTube

I love creating videos for YouTube and the YouTube experience. But I also believe that there needs to be balance and that YouTube (or anything for that matter) shouldn't occupy every second of your life.
.
.
.
A few subscribers have called me out about not releasing consistently on my YouTube channel and that's true. I haven't released lots of videos for a little while...however, I made the choice to pause YouTube whilst I prioritise looking after my newborn baby.
.
.
.
And I think we need to normalise taking a break and not being "on" 24/7.
.
.
.
Whether you need to do it for your own mental health, or physical health, or because you've had a big life change. Or just because you want/need to.
.
.
.
I want to encourage you to not feel guilty about taking a side step on YouTube and in your business. It's part of the road to success and doesn't mean that your journey has ended.
.
.
.
So, take care of yourself, okay?
xoxox.

One of the biggest, best things has happened and it’s literally turned my world upside down. I had a baby! My husband and I welcomed our daughter, Kai, into the world in October…just after a long and stressful 4-month lockdown in our city – Sydney. In my latest podcast episode, I talk about navigating life as a creator when you’ve just had big ass changes.
