WOW! WOW! WOW! If you haven't watched Alexa's new Rebel video - run to it. I came across it right after I wrote a new channel description - not published yet - about my channel being a Sanctuary for Creative rebels and those longing to awaken to their own inherent unconventional creativity and joy for life that fills them with awe, curiosity, confidence and contentment that is independent of other people and outer circumstances. And planned my first 3 videos according to rattling common beliefs around creativity - together with unconventional short, fun methods to create without fancy supplies and absolutely no traditional rules. Timing couldn't have been more perfect!

Hi Everyone! Thank you all for being part of this journey!! After 6 months of posting 1 long form per week and mostly posting 1 short 4-6x a week (only for the past 3 months with the shorts) I've reached monetization! It's official!!! PINCH ME!!! Super excited!!! 🥳

I’m curious, especially for those of us starting YouTube later in life. What made you start your YouTube channel in the first place? I tried FB and IG and TikTok but none of these speaks to me. I just dont feel it. Additional for my purpose i think search engine maschine where people come asking questions I have answers to is better for my customer journey and monetisation later on. Your / my job is to be consistent and post videos so potential " customers" find you. How about you? Was it the wish to share your experience, help others, build income, create something of your own, or something that’s harder to put into words, journaling? I’ve noticed that the reason we start, often shapes how we show up on YouTube later, including how we think about content and monetisation , sometimes without us even realising it. I’d really love to hear what your original motivation was.

Hey everyone — quick question for those of you who’ve done a pivot or rebrand. I started my YouTube channel about 5 weeks ago and realized I had too many niches going at once. After talking with a mentor and looking at the data, I decided to narrow my focus and pivot more toward Veterans content, since it’s less saturated and fits my voice better. I’m keeping my old videos, just doing a light rebrand and moving forward with a clearer direction. For anyone who’s done something similar: - Did you pivot early or later? - How did it affect your growth? - Anything you’d do differently? Appreciate any real-world experience you can share. Thanks. 💪

If you have or are planning to do a faceless AI channel, this video is a must watch. Over the last couple of months we had a lot of spam in here promoting automated faceless systems. In the video, Sean talks about how YouTube is cracking down on these types of channels, and literally thousands of channels have been demonetized and some completely removed.
