How I Grew My YouTube Channel Over 60: Part 2

Join me for my second weekly check-in on my YouTube growth journey! From playfully experimenting with live streams and Shorts, celebrating subscriber milestones, and sharing the glorious spaces near where I live in Northwest New Jersey, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of what it’s really like to grow a channel in midlife and beyond.

This week, you’ll hear:

✨ How I gained 30 subscribers in 28 days

✨ What worked (and didn’t) in my first live stream experiment

✨ How tracking progress in my YouTube journal is helpful

✨ How community support (and a Hall of Fame shoutout!) makes this journey meaningful

Please follow this week's JJS YouTube Hall of Fame Winner:

If you live in New Jersey and the NJ/NY/PA Tri-State Area I suggest their Short Hikes/Big Views playlist and since we connected first via their Appalachian Trail videos, those are also inspiring to watch... and the Catskills ones are also such fun.

If you’re a midlife creator—or simply curious about YouTube growth—you’ll find encouragement, real talk, and strategies you can apply to your own channel.

💬 Question for you: What’s been your favorite growth win lately, big or small? Share it in the comments—I’d love to cheer you on!
