Hi Cathrin, my question is how did you promote your channel when you first created it in order to get a bigger audience? Thank you and keep up the great content! Also I thought it might surprise you that even as the creator of a gaming channel, I have still found all of your videos incredibly useful. Of course your videos aren’t specifically directed at or designed for gamers but I’ve learnt a lot and I thought that I should let you know what a great job you’re doing for all of us small YouTubers, no matter what our niches are!

A general pep talk for those of us who are feeling discouraged would be super helpful 😅

Hello Cathrin! I almost cried when you hit 100k, im so genuinely super happy for you because you deserve it so much. No doubt hitting 1M is foreseeable so soon. 💓 Id just like to ask, before when you kept uploading and not many people were watching, did you ever feel discouraged and thought of not posting? What did you do or think of to combat unmotivation? It would be super helpful if you tell us the things that kept you going.. Much love, from philippines.

Hi Cathrin I think where we are struggling the most is getting subs and views. We have been following your tips just not to sure where we are falling short. Thanks for everything you have been doing for us small YouTubers

Hey Catherin, I would love to know; - How to convert a view to a subscription every time? - How to make an educational video fun? - How important are your views / algorithm during the first day? Does it rank you differently? - 5 key things when you first start YouTube that make or break the channel? - What to do when you don't want to talk about just one subject and want to switch it up? - How to really compete with your market ? (I find I would post something then the top dogs of that market would post the same thing 2 weeks later and kill it in views) - How to structure a video well? - What turns people off videos and to click away? Gosh I could keep going 😂

Hello Catherin, you’ve inspired me and many others so much with your content. I was wondering what is a good and economical camera to use when starting a YouTube channel? Thank you!

Your channel is so big now, I am not sure if you are going to see this comment, but I love your channel and have a request. Can you talk a bit about like-to-dislike ratios, how you keep them at a good percentage, and how you keep up on comments? (If you have done this already, I apologize.)

Hi Cathrin. First of all I want to thank you for this awesome channel. It's really helping me understand basics of how to manage and grow my channel. The only questions I have is how to increase your presence on YouTube, with so many channels churning new videos. How to basically stand-out from the crowd in the beginning when you don''t have a genuine subscriber base? Just so that you know, you were the first channel I subscribed to when I started my YouTube journey.

Hi Cathrin, thanks for being so helpful. I’ve only started my channel and I am still figuring out my niche. Apparently videos that shows my personality went really good (like reaction videos), while my cover videos which I’m thinking of doing in this channel didn’t get a lot of views. Shall I compromise my preference and make more reaction videos first to grow subscribers? Thank you so mich😘😘

Heyyyy Cathrin I loooove your channel, you’re a hoot. I have two questions. 1. How to manage & store your video files? 2. Do you compress before you upload? 1. They are such large files I worry my 1TB hard drive would be full in three months. Do you delete them from your hard drive once you have uploaded? 2. If so, how do you maintain quality. If not,do you just wait forever for videos to upload to YouTube?? I am just starting out & I really want to know the smartest way to do it. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK!!

A huuuuge question that I always wanted to know: Is there anay specific total watch time for a video to reach before it goes viral ? Can you please study that by trying to find the "common" amount of watch time that your viral videos had before they go viral! Have the answer to this question would mean a lot to me! Thank you ♥♥

Hi Cathrin! How can you come across as more genuine through the camera? Bc when I watch my yt videos back I just feel like a disconnection b/w myself in the video and myself watching the video, so that gets me thinking if I feel disconnected from MY OWN SELF how does the rest of my audience feel, and how can I change that so that I can connect and grow my audience? Bc I know a big part in growing your audience and having your audience stick with you is by creating a connection with them. Your videos are really helpful btw 💖, and congrats on 100K +

Hi Cathrin! Happy to report I just got monetized a few days ago 😍😍 Not really YT related but my question is, what is one thing people often misunderstand about you?

Hey Cathrin, Grats on 117k subs. I wanna ask this, so there is this keyword that has low volume of search but there isn't many competition, is it possible if I create a video with those keyword I'll be recommended when people watch big youtuber with the same keyword? ( I can't rely on search as it is low volume and my subs is only 22 xD) Oh and another thing, how to handle dislike and hateful comment mentally? Thanks Cath ❤️
