Hey, Bleu Bells! 💙

I’m putting this out into the universe, stamping it in the blog, and holding myself accountable—2025 is the year I hit 1,000 subscribers on YouTube! And not just 1,000… I’m pushing even further to double that and hit 2,000 by the end of the year!

Phase 1: Hitting 1,000 Subscribers by March 31st 🎯

Right now, I’m at 570 subscribers, and I have exactly 430 more to go to reach 1,000. The plan? 8-10 new subscribers per day. If I can do this consistently, I’ll hit my goal by the end of March (or even earlier if we keep this momentum up)!

Here’s how I’m going to do it:

✔️ Daily Consistency: Post live Sariah & Shay Storytime every Monday-Friday from 7-8 PM and Saturday-Sunday from 5-6 PM.

✔️ Postpartum Fitness Lives: Every weekday 8-9 PM, because let’s be real—I need to hold myself accountable on this fitness journey too!

✔️ TikTok & Shorts Strategy: Short-form content has been working! Posting engaging clips of Sariah’s storytime and my fitness journey to drive new subscribers.

✔️ Pinterest & Blog Traffic: My blog, ShayBleu.com, is where I keep everything together. Posting weekly content and linking back to my YouTube for full videos.

Phase 2: Hitting 2,000 Subscribers by December 31st 🎯

Once I hit 1,000, I’m not stopping there. The next challenge? Getting another 1,000 subscribers by the end of the year. That means I’d need to gain about 84 monthly subscribers for 9 more months to double my growth.

🔥 So what’s the game plan?

💡 More Live Streams! Expanding Storytime and adding interactive Q&As about parenting, books, and my postpartum journey.

💡 Collabs & Shoutouts! Connecting with other YouTube moms and creators to cross-promote content.

💡 More Shorts, More Engagement! The YouTube algorithm LOVES short-form content, and I’m using it to reach more people!

💡 Amazon Affiliates & Monetization! I want to start monetizing by hitting 4,000 watch hours, so I’ll promote books and products I love through affiliate links to keep growing this brand.

Why This Matters 💙

I’m not just chasing numbers—I’m building a community. I want Sariah & Shay Storytime to be where parents, caregivers, and book lovers come together to share, learn, and grow. The more we build, the more we can spread the joy of reading to babies and kids everywhere!
