I can help your YouTube channel get its first or next 5,000 subscribers. I run end-to-end YouTube content operations (strategy, scripting support, editing, thumbnails, SEO, upload, and channel management) so you only have to worry about filming. Maybe you're brand new to the content game. Maybe you've already mastered short-form. Maybe you've been putting out videos consistently for a while, but you're still not seeing growth. Now is the perfect time to build a serious, ride-or-die audience that scales your brand and your business. And join the YouTube Partner Program, the Internet's superior content monetization system. I'm Kenzie, a content strategist and YouTube creator who specializes in helping new channels grow from 0 to their first 5,000 subscribers. I've grown two different channels to 4-5K+ subscribers in two different niches, with a total of 750K+ lifetime views. But I haven't just mastered vanity metrics. I've used CTAs to get viewers off-platform and into my email list, mentorship program, and buying my digital products. I know what it feels like to post into the void on a new platform, to be stuck in 200-view jail, and to wonder if it's even still possible to grow a new YouTube channel in 2026. I also know exactly how long it can take to do it on your own, and the struggle to get monetized in one year. YouTube is a long game, but you can expedite this process by working with someone who has done it multiple times. If you're building a faceless AI slop cash-grab channel, here's the door →🚪These channels are being heavily demonetized right now and are NOT a long term business model due to their impact on the platform. I work with real people who want to show up authentically online and create genuine connections with their community. I fell in love with YouTube when I was eight years old, and it's a craft I highly respect. Here’s how I can help: • YouTube SEO — keyword research, titles, descriptions, and tags optimized so the algorithm pushes your content to the right people • Content Strategy — competitor research, niche positioning, and turning what you’re already passionate about into long-form content pillars that build a loyal subscriber base • Content Planning & Scriptwriting — transforming your raw video ideas into structured, binge-worthy scripts with shot-lists and viral hook templates that keep viewers invested • Channel Management — end-to-end upload support including channel optimization, thumbnail design, and A/B testing so every video is set up to perform before it even goes live • Retention Editing — pacing, cuts, and storytelling structure built specifically to maximize watch time and signal to YouTube that your content is worth pushing • Content Repurposing — turning one day of filming into weeks of Reels, TikToks, and Shorts so your YouTube content keeps working for you across every platform If your niche is: • Health / wellness / coaching • DIY / How-to / Education • Self-improvement / transformation • Spirituality / faith • Fashion / style • Lifestyle / personality • Professional mental health expertise Let's create together!

Hey! I'm a recent VCU film school graduate with experience in video editing, directing, and sound design.

I know how to step into a project, fix what’s not working, and deliver something that feels cohesive and professional. I also regularly work on marketing content such as Google Business Profile videos, website clips, and social media assets—ensuring they look polished, on-brand, and effective. Tools I work with daily: – DaVinci Resolve (color + finishing) – Adobe Premiere Pro – After Effects (light graphics / finishing) – Avid Media Composer
