About This Video

We did it—Loki and I just hit 1,000 subscribers, and I wanted to sit down and reflect on what that milestone actually took. This video is basically my cat lady YouTube journey plus a little pep talk for newer creators who are putting a ton of pressure on themselves. YouTube growth isn’t my niche (cat care is), but sharing milestones is one of my channel pillars, and I have some opinions. I talk about schedule and consistency—because yes, it matters, but no, it’s not one-size-fits-all. I started thinking I could do one video a week and quickly learned that wasn’t realistic, so I settled into one video every two weeks. I also get into the “timeframe” trap and why comparing your timeline to someone else’s will mess with your momentum. For me, it took 6 months to hit 1,000 subs, and I’m still working toward watch time, but I see that as progress—not failure. Then I address the “YouTube is on easy mode” lie (it’s not), plus the niche debate. My take: pick a general niche with three pillars, stay flexible, and don’t niche down so hard you burn out and quit. The real key, honestly, is not giving up.
