When she said “ you’re not gonna see money for MONTHS” I felt that deep in my soul 😭😫🤣
-
Besides all the value, doesn’t Cathrin look gorgeous (like extra gorg lately?) ✨?
-
I lost my dream job this year and started this channel from the bottom. Didn’t see any money for months for sure. So I really appreciate Cathrin sharing her journey because it makes me believe that I can do it too. Thank you Cathrin for being authentic. You help us a lot.
-
Of all the channels showing you how to grow, this one always feels like talking to a friend, and not like I’m being sold something :)
-
The accuracy of focusing on growing Instagram in the beginning to just realize it gave me the least ROI... TRUTH!
-
3 success mantras on YouTube are selecting trending SEO topics, perseverance, and magic dust to differentiate your videos from others.
-
Cathrin is AWSOME!!! Who wishes that you could meet her??!?!
-
Who else is growing their channel in quarantine? 🙋🏼♀️Good luck to everyone!
-
Cathrin, I just had to tell you— we finally launched a paid product 3 weeks ago and totally crushed it in sales! We cleared $1,200 in revenue the first week alone! 🤯 We only have 12K subs, so that was huuuge for us! Thanks for all your advice, especially the tough love, as it kicked us into high gear, lol. Btw, this video is right on time as usual, can’t wait to watch! 😍

6 months into YouTube on top of full time college and I feel like I'm struggling to grow so much. This was the video I needed
-
Dear Cathrin, You may not know that by uploading such videos, how many lives are being changed. How many creators you are actually creating like me. I got the inspiration from your videos to create a YouTube channel & today in less than 5 months of serious working, I am half way through the target of monetization. Thank you Cathrin. You do not upload content but you change lives.
-
GOLD!! I'm so guilty of letting myself be distracted with my phone, mindless scrolling, repeat trips to the kitchen...I can't wait to time myself to see how long it really takes to actually get one specific task done. Thank YOU!
-
💜 Yasss. Side note only 100 hours till monitization!
-
Agreed 100 with the Instagram step. Getting the cross promotion growth from IG to YouTube is next to impossible!
-
The 30 minutes devoted to a task, no breaks, no distractions tip is gold for helping to build concentration and efficiency, thanks for sharing!
-
I started my channel about 4 months ago and I really appreciate tips like this. I kept trying to grow my IG and I spent so much time on it up till the point I hated it. And I realised, IG just isn't for me, I'm not good with photos, I'm not good with stories and the constant uploads. In the end, I stopped IG and use the time for YouTube engagement instead. It really helped when we focus on what grows and not what 'might' work.
-
Hey Cathrin I know this will probably get lost in the comments but I really appreciate your videos and they give me faith as a content creator. Thank you 😁
-
There are days when I want to give up on youtube when I don't see the right numbers, but then Cathrin uploads another video and I survive a little longer :)
-
I'm a side-hustler! Wow, 5 MONTHS! I'm listening. Thank you for helping us, Cathrin!
-
I am currently balancing a full-time job with a freelance side hustle, creating content on my blog and youtube.. oh and trying to raise a child! You raise some really great tips here! But I think most of all is understanding the value of your time and focusing your time on HIGH VALUE activities!
