Emily, the reason that you are so successful as an influencer is because you uplift, educate and inspire , without causing your viewers to feel bad about themselves. I'm really impressed with your content as always. But what I also love is how your family is the most important thing to you. 💗💗💗
And love it that your honest... we got in to late and had a takeaway, Jackson’s still in our bed, need to go on a diet as relaxed at Christmas, clean with me. Very relatable! X
I love hearing your story! I went back to work after 9 weeks with my first child. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done and tears well up in my eyes just typing this even 6 years later. I love your channel and you as a person. Thank you for being such a light. I literally say in my head “what would Emily do” when I’m faced with parenting frustration. So thank you!
Just realized that I've been watching your channel for more than 3 years now. Started with the breastfeeding tips and kept coming back for more. Always very useful advice and genuine. You're doing an amazing job and totally admire you for choosing to stay home with children and inspire other mums. Lots of hugs 🤗
This is very true, you’ve definitely had a positive effect on mine! Often had “ok this seems impossible with the kids...let check what Emily Norris does...” only to find some great inspiration! Xx
When i was pregnant 3 years back, I came across your hospital bag video and i bought water wipes because of it.. i remember searching for your video months later again because your video was honest and so helpful to me and have followed you since. My 2.5 year old son recognises you now when i watch the new videos uploaded by you :) I honestly have so much respect for you because of all the positivity your channel brings and because how hard working you are! i started my teeny tiny channel because of you and for similar reason - i hated leaving my son at home to go to office :)
Yes I got my first camera with green stamps and had to send the film off. When I was 6 years old my mom let me take pictures with her camera and they were really good. So cute Emily talking about when she was young while she's still young. Ha ha.
Your video about sleep training Fraser absolutely saved parenting for me!! It took me a while to give it a try but it was a huge turning point and haven’t looked back since. I recommend that video to so many friends who are struggling with their baby’s sleep. Thanks 💕
I started following you when my son was a few weeks old & Jackson was six months old. I was so overwhelmed & scared & watching your videos certainly helped. Your positive attitude and calm nature really helped this nervous mum. Thank you.
as I’ve said many times before, you’re my fave RUclips mama, you’re so inspiring and genuine, love following you and you’re simply the best influencer❣️ thanks so much for all your work ❤️
It’s crazy, I found you when I was pregnant four years ago and that’s when I decided to become a RUclipsr too! I’m three years in now and you were the first to really inspire me that what I had to share was worthy!
Oh my word Claire - i just subscribed to your channel. cannot wait to binge watch - the same thing happened with me - i found Emily on maternity leave 4 years ago and now i have started my own channel. I am in South Africa and I am literally about to give up cause in 4 years i have only managed to get 247 subscribers. I love making videos and love editing and for the first 3 years i didnt really care about subscribers and views. somehow that has changed and i realised that i want to reach the masses. that i actually love being in front of the camera. I do online hosting for my church many Sundays and was a host for our online women's conference and i found my passion... i want to entertain, share places i find when we go out exploring, share things that i do and like and that may make someone else's life out there easier... (omw i wrote an essay - sorry - im just so passionate and so stuck at the same time)

Your videos on motherhood will help all the new mom to enjoy their motherhood and to balance their new life. Your cleaning vlogs with power hour, morning +evening vlogs and Your daily vlogs are amazing. ❤Love you. Thank you for your these wonderful contents.
I think I have been following you for more than 3 years when I had my first baby and I do think you are genuinely and seems so nice so I'm really happy that you are successful and that's it enables you to be with your children ❤
Having subscribed to Emily really early on, I remember Emily being a working mum of 2 boys, it’s so so interesting to hear her talk about how she built her channel. Well done Emily! X
This video has inspired me so much- I always look forward to your vids... and you’ve reminded me of all the things we’ve been through with you. I’ll never forget seeing your boys and Matt walking down the street and recognising them! I’m considering doing RUclips and for you to say ignore the haters has made me want to even more xx
I found you when I was pregnant of my first son and I've never let you go. It must have been 2017 or the first months of 2018. Love your content and your honesty since then!
Emily i really like you and your family.I have two kids same age as your younger two. I started watching you when you had 500 subscribers. And the only thing which keeps me connected with you is your genuineness.
This has just reminded me how long I've been subscribed! I've been here from around 32,000! You have so many subscribers now! I find motherhood quite challenging at times but your videos really help me to keep motivated! Thank you for keeping at it!
I found you when you were pregnant with Jackson and I was pregnant with my first child (Evelyn was born January 2017). I was so scared not knowing what to expect or do and I was 300 miles away from my family but listening to your videos was so calming and reassuring. I feel like you're a friend that I've never actually met. You're just such a lovely person with a lovely family xxx
It's so lovely to hear about your journey on RUclips - it is inspiring and encouraging, especially because I started my RUclips channel at the start of January 2019 but it has been very challenging to be seen with the algorithm. I started my channel because I worked in fashion journalism, I was on maternity leave and had suffered with my mental health during pregnancy and post-natally. I wanted to talk about mental health but also share fashion, beauty, home and lifestyle content. I haven't missed a week since I started but it has just been because I love creating the content and I decided I would make it whether or not anyone watched 😂 Honestly, I think it looks so much simpler to do than it is to have a youtube channel and it's such an amazing achievement to even start it I think, let alone stick to it and make a career out of it, which is an incredible achievement Emily! It has taken me nearly 2 1/2 years to get 500 subs, which feels tiny compared to some creators, but still 500 people is actually a lot of people. I still love doing it and the thought of stopping actually makes me sad so I know I have to keep creating even if it only helps or entertains one person - or just me 😜. I also started a second channel about tarot at the end of last year and that has grown a lot faster and is around 700 subs in a few months but still I do wonder what makes the algorithm show certain content to people at any given time. In all honestly, sometimes it can feel disheartening to put so much energy and passion into a video and get hardly any views, but I just often remind myself actually why I started in the first place and how much the whole process have given me and enriched my life. It has been amazing and I love it 💓 Thanks so much for sharing such inspiring content Emily! You truly deserve every success and happiness 🙏 😘 Xxx
For me watching your videos make me feel like i'm watching a member of my family 🌺 keep going. In RUclips people like you they makes a difference in a good way, and i thank you for that 🌺 Love from Greece ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad you decided to start a RUclips channel as you’re my favourite to watch!! Have learnt a ton from you so thank you so much for spending the time to make amazing content! X
Enjoyed this! I love cleaning and hacks content always gives me motivation. Really enjoyed the past couple of months forward planning content. Helps me prepare for the up and coming month as well as giving fab ideas. Would luv to know your tips on getting some ‘me’ time. Think with lockdowns and the waiting lists for days out those with kiddies are all feeling a bit frazzled and neglected. I will be watching as always, love your channel!
Your hospital bag video was when I first got hooked on your channel! Back then I remember you having about 18k subscribers, it’s amazing to see how well you’ve done since then x
That is the most inspiring story i have heard on this platform. And your tips are so spot on especially on being yourself and being authentic. Also my other take away is that you started your channel as a hobby and didnt get paid for it for 2 years. You dont know how inspiring and motivating you are to me. Am gonna continue making videos for the love of it. In any case i have learnt so much and i continue to learn more and have fun at it.
EMILY!! You read my mind. I can’t believe you just made this video. I have been watching & subscribed to you for 3 or 4 years now..and literally was JUST chatting with my husband the last few weeks about having the itch to start my own channel. He’s on board & says give it a go😄 Just last weekend we dug up your old video where you showed what gear you use etc & have literally been pondering the idea since!! Maybe this videos a sign🤣🤩 Thanks so much for creating this!! I may definitely reach out to you in the near future with some questions!! You are amazing and my main inspo❤️
I haven’t been brave enough to start a channel but yours inspires me tremendously and you have helped me so much through my motherhood journey! I remember I emailed you once when I was scared to return to work and the fact that you were so responsive and kind and had the best tips was just incredible! you are definitely a one of a kind person ☀️ and it’s just a joy to tune in every week!
Oh Emily, this video has been so helpful! I may have been one of the many messagers inquiring about this... my husband and I have decided to move forward and start a channel and we're in the "really excited and have fallen in love with editing" stage! We've also decided to keep the channel focused on us and not our 3 young kids because I feel like this pandemic has made us want to find something that was just ours! I love your story and your organic growth here on this platform, knowing you've helped so many people (including myself) must be so fulfilling ❤ Wishing you even more success in wherever life takes you and thank you for spreading joy through your channel!
You kept me going as a mum, never regretted subscribing to your channel. I started following when Jackson was born. I was pregnant with my second baby and was searching for labour tips 🥰
Dear Emily, thank you for all you tips. To be honest I’m watching you videos all the time, especially when I’m doing house chores 😅 I really like your voice, very calming, honest and entertaining. I also watched a lot of your house tour and products tips videos, very informative. I don’t always put a comment, but so you know I appreciate very much your videos 😊
LOVE THIS VIDEO! You are the reason I started this channel! Was lacking motivation and this has just give me the kick I needed! Thank you for everything Emily xxxx
So proud of how far you have come emily! 👏 i was struggling if what i should my lil guys 5 years ago & i came across YOUR video of frazier & you eating tips or think it was what i feed my toddler in a day im so glad i found you & watch you grow with your boys & family! Your the best MOM wife in my eyes lol thanks for all your tips & videos always makes my day! 😊
Your story sounds similar to mine 😀 trip around the world? That must have been amazing and I wish you were a vlogger then. I do miss your pink kitchen (cos pink is my absolute fave colour)
one of my fav youtuber commenting on one of my fav youtuber i draw strenght from your channel and that has helped me in startting my own youtube channel
Hi Emily, you were the first person I ever followed on RUclips and I did actually take the ‘plunge’ myself! I started a channel last summer and it has really become my special me time 😍 I really enjoy the creative side and it is just lovely having something that is my own (am a mummy myself so this is priceless 😆) watching your content really encouraged me to give it a go and am so glad I have ❤️ Am far from your level and for now I am simply enjoying the adventure. I completely agree with you, for those wondering about starting a channel just do it 😊 So amazing watching you grow as an influencer and as a person! X
Love this! Your positivity and story bring tears to my eyes. I wanted to say I love your “beginning of the month” planning new idea you’ve started! Love this style of video. Beautifully done with your channel, lovely Emily. Lots of love as always from the US ❤️ Claire
I literally found you last year when I found my self pregnant with my first child in a pandemic with no clue what I needed to prepare myself I’ve since watched all your videos and love your channel. Your tips really helped me xx
Love this! I would love to see a video about how you approach household chores when you get behind- like when the laundry piles up and the dishes get chaotic. I could use some tips! 🤣 I feel like we are always behind!
Thank you so much for doing this video, I've just started out really and doing it because I find it so helpful watching other mums videos about cleaning and home decor stuff. So nice of you to give top tips and I really appreciate the insight into how you built your channel. I think consistency will be my biggest challenge and I'm much more present on Instagram so far but I have really enjoyed doing longer videos!
What a lovely video. I found you Emily last year when I was going to start couch to 5k and needed some tips. Loved your tips etc and have watched ever since. I am a 57 year old woman who lives at home with her mum. No kids but work full time. I really enjoy your content and pop your videos on when chilling in bed at the end of my day. Thank you . You are a lovely genuine lady 😀
So encouraging. I've been watching since the video about u finally quitting your job. Actually, bibana yetty recommended your channel on her channel a while back so when I was looking for videos on moms quitting their jobs, youtube recommended yours. Kudos Em! You have done so well. I enjoy watching your channel.
I have been following you for years and have always been so interested and related to your content. Your first Amazon review video absolutely mesmerized me and I bought everything you suggested. From there I decided I wanted to do an Amazon review channel and finally started. Thank you so much for the inspiration. You are absolutely wonderful and I truly love you and your family!!
I always look forward to Mon, Weds, and Fri when you post. I first found your channel 3 years ago when looking for breastfeeding tips. Every video honestly feels like catching up with a friend. Lots of love from Canada! In lockdown here still, which is honestly so hard because it’s legitimately been over a year of on again off again lockdowns here. Your videos have helped me stay productive and positive!
Loved this video!! I have been with you since you were pregnant with Jackson 😊. My fav videos are Hacks, Cleaning, slow cooker meals and when you just sit down and chat with us, like you did in the beginning!! I am really enjoying your reno videos and how your new house is changing!! Thanks Emily 💚
Love this video! you are spot on about when someone is acting! That’s why you are doing so well, because you are being your lovely self. I always come away from your videos feeling so positive 😊 I’m really glad you didn’t listen to the doubters at the start and continued with your channel 🥰
I remember joining you in 2016 when we had our first boy and your content and personality inspired me to start up my own channel in 2019 after we had our second boy. I have to say that I haven't been as consistent and dedicated as you have been but watching this video has inspired me to get serious with youtube and start uploading more consistently. ❤❤❤
I need to say that when i started my channel you were my inspiration and i have my bell on so i dont miss any of your future ones. Keep doing what you are doing. I love your work.
Love watching ALL your content Emily. You are such a motivated worker. Your genuineness, love of family and focus on making a happy and supportive environment shines through. You and Matt share a little of the trials too so we can all relate. I hope you can all get away for a lovely holiday very soon. Till next time - thanks for all the fun and inspiration ❤️♥️🧡
I know I’m late... but you are so inspiring! My first experience really with digging into RUclips was when I was pregnant and I was searching for what to put in a hospital bag and I found your video. You put me so at ease. I was so anxious about becoming a mom but it was the best thing ever! And I could relate to your story you shared about your childhood. Thank you for being a bright spot for so many, especially during this crazy year. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I also have my own channel, it is over a year now, although my growth is very slow, I just can’t seem to give it up. It is something that is for myself aside from being a mother and a wife. Thank you for this video Emily and you are so kind. I by the way found your channel when I was looking for what to pack for a child when traveling in an airplane.
I put off starting a channel for years because I kept waiting for everything to be perfect, like a camera and my house to be perfect and my weight to get back to pre pregnancy annndddd...... it never happened lol but I started anyway in august 2019 I shared our gender reveal and i didn’t tell a soul 🙈 But I absolutely LOVE making videos and the whole editing. I think my problem has been finding my niche but I do love making helpful parenting videos so maybe something more down the mommy path. I really struggle with consistency too having a family of 5 and a business from home, I can’t believe how consistent you have been WELL DONE be a it’s not easy at all! You really do deserve all that you have achieved. I love how you say tunnel vision and ignore the negativity I take it so personal just a thumbs down. I think you have to have thick skin being on RUclips & you’ve done amazing. I can’t Thankyou enough for this chatty video ❤️ I’d love more tips like this for us small youtubers 🥰 lots of love J xoxo
Loved you since the beginning! Found it for my wife when she was pregnant, we found out at 24 weeks! Loved your stages videos as very relatable at the time. Now love all the organising and days in the life, please do another best buys for your kids now! Especially Jackson, would be great to know what I have to look forward to with my 3 coming on 4 years old!
Aw I found your channel when I had just had my baby! I found your baby updates so helpful! I was so inspired by your channel and decided to start my own! I am so happy that I made the jump, I love looking back at my videos to see my babies and memories made! I’ve now upgraded from my iPhone to a new Sony camera and I love it! So a huge thank you to you Emily ❤️💕
I love your story! i first found your videos when i was pregnant in 2016. my first video was your 12/13 week pregnancy update with Jackson. Ive learned so much from you and your boys. i have two kids now and i go back and watch the ones relevant lol. so cool to see your channel grow in the last 5 years!
What a lovely lady you are, Emily! Thank you for being so open and honest. I am a more recent subscriber, since your house move and the last couple of lockdowns. I love your videos and find them so helpful. We are going to try your one pot pasta recipe this coming week! Thanks for what you do. You are such a gorgeous Mummy to your boys, you are so kind to them, that really stands out to me. Have a great weekend xx
Such a lovely and helpful video! I've been enjoying your videos for years and it's so kind of you to share tips on what's worked for you. Thank you Emily! x
Your amazing Emily. I only got watching your videos since beginning of 2019 but you're doing amazing.ive really enjoyed watching your boys growing up. Thank you x
I love your story, so romantic. I enjoy your regular content as you mix it up and don't stick to one topic all the time. You have kept me sane during lockdown and given m something to look forward to.
I love your channel.my family are grown up now.2 girls laura 31 and Roisin 24.so I have a bit more me time.I enjoy videos about self care.makeup,skin care styling clothes.diet and exercise so I would appreciate more of those.you are doing an amazing job,keep up the good work.by the way I have been around since Caleb was a baby I hope to be here when you hit a million subscribers.lots of love.✨💕
Really interesting to watch as I’ve started curtain and blind tutorials and really want to improve my ratings! Your channel is really amazing Emily 😘 xx
Loved this video, thank you. I am 31 with 3 children, and run a business. I have thought about starting for a while, but didn’t think my life was interesting enough, but I guess real life is what people are after! 🤩
Such an interesting story Emily. Your business has grown organically over time and your positivity and authenticity shines! Thank you for all the fab content and for sharing your ideas to help others ❤️
That was so heart warming 🥰 It's so nice to see passionate people, as yourself, follow their calling and succeed from it. The results are ten-fold from having your heart in it! I could feel the love for your job through your voice, Emily :) It made me so happy for you! Thanks for sharing 🤗
Thank you so much!!! This video was an answered prayer! You said something I needed to hear! "Start doing it! I learned so much from just starting and making videos!"- Emily :) I have actually filmed myself a few times, but lost the courage to actually start my channel! I am jumping in! Launch date 7/1/2021!! Fully committed!!!
I found your channel watching Jackson’s baby updates years that correlated with my daughter’s age (now 18 months). Thank you! I really enjoy you and your content!
Hey Emily, I felt like you were talking about me, literally! Thinking to start a channel..recording n editing on phone..ignoring the negativity...need to workout on setting a schedule though ( working on it) But I’m grateful that I hit 218 subscribers for today which to me is such a big deal...& you know what? YOU ARE THE ONLY INSPIRATION+ MOTIVATION for that to happen, love you lots...thankyou so much deedi ( means sister in India) Stay blessed...stay safe...you are amazing 🤩
I love this type of video 😍 I started my channel when I was pregnant as I missed the creative and structured side of my job! I love it! I only have a tiny amount of subscribers but I really love it! Seeing my wee boy growing up and documenting is so nice 🥰
I found you when i was pregnant of my third baby, and was looking for a hospital bag video. And then i saw your birth video! Immediately i became a fan 😍 love your videos, love your vibe, all my family already knows your name 😂 really like your content, and i think your family is gorgeous. Just wish you loads of success in this path, because you were born for this ❤️
Emily, that’s why I love you 😍, because you are you!! You are so natural, so beautiful inside/out!!!! Really helpful for me all your videos!!!🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ You and your family are so precious!!!🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
It’s so difficult to stand out, so many people with great channels!!! Congrats on yours, we watch you from Tenerife, our toddler likes watching your children, good family fun! 😍😘
Great tips Emily! I’ve been following your channel since I was pregnant in 2018! And you inspired me to start a RUclips channel also, your content is always brilliant! 🙌
Love this, thank you! I’m one of those ‘thinkers’, managed to get as far as a new camera but have zero confidence to get started 🙈 definitely making note of those tips ❤️ x
You honestly helped a lot of us(lost mums) !! AND THANK YOU for that 😁 you're in my top 5 fav youtubers (and all of the others are vanlifers) 😜 keep up the good work!
Emily, the reason that you are so successful as an influencer is because you uplift, educate and inspire , without causing your viewers to feel bad about themselves. I'm really impressed with your content as always. But what I also love is how your family is the most important thing to you. 💗💗💗

I love hearing your story! I went back to work after 9 weeks with my first child. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done and tears well up in my eyes just typing this even 6 years later. I love your channel and you as a person. Thank you for being such a light. I literally say in my head “what would Emily do” when I’m faced with parenting frustration. So thank you!
Just realized that I've been watching your channel for more than 3 years now. Started with the breastfeeding tips and kept coming back for more. Always very useful advice and genuine. You're doing an amazing job and totally admire you for choosing to stay home with children and inspire other mums. Lots of hugs 🤗
Yes!!!! Keep going. You truly ARE an awesome influencer and have a more-than-positive effect on many lives. Your versatility speaks volumes as well.
This is very true, you’ve definitely had a positive effect on mine! Often had “ok this seems impossible with the kids...let check what Emily Norris does...” only to find some great inspiration! Xx
Oh bless you Pam 😘 Thanks for watching, stay safe xx

Lol I love Emily describing what a disposable camera was. Anyone else feeling old?
🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
@@mrsemilynorris your not old
@@hayleyhenwood5360 Emily is exactly 1 year older than me. We are indeed a little tiny bit old. 😭😭😭😄😄😄😄
Yes I got my first camera with green stamps and had to send the film off. When I was 6 years old my mom let me take pictures with her camera and they were really good. So cute Emily talking about when she was young while she's still young. Ha ha.
🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
I came for the story and wasn't disappointed. I find the best influencers never set out for it. I love your channel x
Your video about sleep training Fraser absolutely saved parenting for me!! It took me a while to give it a try but it was a huge turning point and haven’t looked back since. I recommend that video to so many friends who are struggling with their baby’s sleep. Thanks 💕
I started following you when my son was a few weeks old & Jackson was six months old. I was so overwhelmed & scared & watching your videos certainly helped. Your positive attitude and calm nature really helped this nervous mum. Thank you.
as I’ve said many times before, you’re my fave RUclips mama, you’re so inspiring and genuine, love following you and you’re simply the best influencer❣️ thanks so much for all your work ❤️
Ah so sweet of you to say Angelica, it means the world 😘 Thanks for watching, stay safe xx
You’re definitely an example of hard work and effort paying off, Emily. You deserve every success! x
It’s crazy, I found you when I was pregnant four years ago and that’s when I decided to become a RUclipsr too! I’m three years in now and you were the first to really inspire me that what I had to share was worthy!
Amazing well done Claire! Thanks for watching, stay safe xx
Oh my word Claire - i just subscribed to your channel. cannot wait to binge watch - the same thing happened with me - i found Emily on maternity leave 4 years ago and now i have started my own channel. I am in South Africa and I am literally about to give up cause in 4 years i have only managed to get 247 subscribers. I love making videos and love editing and for the first 3 years i didnt really care about subscribers and views. somehow that has changed and i realised that i want to reach the masses. that i actually love being in front of the camera. I do online hosting for my church many Sundays and was a host for our online women's conference and i found my passion... i want to entertain, share places i find when we go out exploring, share things that i do and like and that may make someone else's life out there easier...

I prefer a youtuber who replies to comments or likes your comment! It can make someone's day 😊
Me too Amy!! Thanks for commenting and watching, stay safe xx
True. Emily is the only influencer among the others i follow who replies / make a like to my Instagram pm. She's simply amazing.
Your videos on motherhood will help all the new mom to enjoy their motherhood and to balance their new life. Your cleaning vlogs with power hour, morning +evening vlogs and Your daily vlogs are amazing. ❤Love you. Thank you for your these wonderful contents.
I think I have been following you for more than 3 years when I had my first baby and I do think you are genuinely and seems so nice so I'm really happy that you are successful and that's it enables you to be with your children ❤
Having subscribed to Emily really early on, I remember Emily being a working mum of 2 boys, it’s so so interesting to hear her talk about how she built her channel. Well done Emily! X
The whole premiere thing is such a tease! I can't handle the wait 😅😅
Haha sorry Kathleen! Thanks for watching, stay safe xx
This video has inspired me so much- I always look forward to your vids... and you’ve reminded me of all the things we’ve been through with you. I’ll never forget seeing your boys and Matt walking down the street and recognising them! I’m considering doing RUclips and for you to say ignore the haters has made me want to even more xx
Go for it!!!! Thanks for watching, stay safe xx
I found you when I was pregnant of my first son and I've never let you go. It must have been 2017 or the first months of 2018. Love your content and your honesty since then!
I've been following you since you had Jackson. It's so nice seeing the kids grow up.
Emily i really like you and your family.I have two kids same age as your younger two. I started watching you when you had 500 subscribers. And the only thing which keeps me connected with you is your genuineness.
This has just reminded me how long I've been subscribed! I've been here from around 32,000! You have so many subscribers now! I find motherhood quite challenging at times but your videos really help me to keep motivated! Thank you for keeping at it!
I found you when you were pregnant with Jackson and I was pregnant with my first child (Evelyn was born January 2017). I was so scared not knowing what to expect or do and I was 300 miles away from my family but listening to your videos was so calming and reassuring. I feel like you're a friend that I've never actually met. You're just such a lovely person with a lovely family xxx
Thank you for this Emily! You're such an inspiration and role model for many mums around the world!
It's so lovely to hear about your journey on RUclips - it is inspiring and encouraging, especially because I started my RUclips channel at the start of January 2019 but it has been very challenging to be seen with the algorithm. I started my channel because I worked in fashion journalism, I was on maternity leave and had suffered with my mental health during pregnancy and post-natally. I wanted to talk about mental health but also share fashion, beauty, home and lifestyle content. I haven't missed a week since I started but it has just been because I love creating the content and I decided I would make it whether or not anyone watched 😂 Honestly, I think it looks so much simpler to do than it is to have a youtube channel and it's such an amazing achievement to even start it I think, let alone stick to it and make a career out of it, which is an incredible achievement Emily! It has taken me nearly 2 1/2 years to get 500 subs, which feels tiny compared to some creators, but still 500 people is actually a lot of people. I still love doing it and the thought of stopping actually makes me sad so I know I have to keep creating even if it only helps or entertains one person - or just me 😜. I also started a second channel about tarot at the end of last year and that has grown a lot faster and is around 700 subs in a few months but still I do wonder what makes the algorithm show certain content to people at any given time. In all honestly, sometimes it can feel disheartening to put so much energy and passion into a video and get hardly any views, but I just often remind myself actually why I started in the first place and how much the whole process have given me and enriched my life. It has been amazing and I love it 💓 Thanks so much for sharing such inspiring content Emily! You truly deserve every success and happiness 🙏 😘 Xxx
Ahhh you are so sweet Emily 💜 🙏🏻 😘 Xx
For me watching your videos make me feel like i'm watching a member of my family 🌺 keep going.
In RUclips people like you they makes a difference in a good way, and i thank you for that 🌺
Love from Greece ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad you decided to start a RUclips channel as you’re my favourite to watch!! Have learnt a ton from you so thank you so much for spending the time to make amazing content! X
Enjoyed this!
I love cleaning and hacks content always gives me motivation.
Really enjoyed the past couple of months forward planning content. Helps me prepare for the up and coming month as well as giving fab ideas.
Would luv to know your tips on getting some ‘me’ time. Think with lockdowns and the waiting lists for days out those with kiddies are all feeling a bit frazzled and neglected.
I will be watching as always, love your channel!
Your hospital bag video was when I first got hooked on your channel! Back then I remember you having about 18k subscribers, it’s amazing to see how well you’ve done since then x
You videos showed me how to get organized in my home, a life changer! Thanks~
That is the most inspiring story i have heard on this platform. And your tips are so spot on especially on being yourself and being authentic. Also my other take away is that you started your channel as a hobby and didnt get paid for it for 2 years. You dont know how inspiring and motivating you are to me. Am gonna continue making videos for the love of it. In any case i have learnt so much and i continue to learn more and have fun at it.
EMILY!! You read my mind. I can’t believe you just made this video. I have been watching & subscribed to you for 3 or 4 years now..and literally was JUST chatting with my husband the last few weeks about having the itch to start my own channel. He’s on board & says give it a go😄 Just last weekend we dug up your old video where you showed what gear you use etc & have literally been pondering the idea since!! Maybe this videos a sign🤣🤩 Thanks so much for creating this!! I may definitely reach out to you in the near future with some questions!! You are amazing and my main inspo❤️
I haven’t been brave enough to start a channel but yours inspires me tremendously and you have helped me so much through my motherhood journey! I remember I emailed you once when I was scared to return to work and the fact that you were so responsive and kind and had the best tips was just incredible! you are definitely a one of a kind person ☀️ and it’s just a joy to tune in every week!
Oh go for it! You will feel such a relief starting just enjoy the process 😊
Ah thank you Alejandra! Yes just go for it!! Thanks for watching, stay safe xx
Oh Emily, this video has been so helpful! I may have been one of the many messagers inquiring about this... my husband and I have decided to move forward and start a channel and we're in the "really excited and have fallen in love with editing" stage! We've also decided to keep the channel focused on us and not our 3 young kids because I feel like this pandemic has made us want to find something that was just ours! I love your story and your organic growth here on this platform, knowing you've helped so many people (including myself) must be so fulfilling ❤ Wishing you even more success in wherever life takes you and thank you for spreading joy through your channel!
You kept me going as a mum, never regretted subscribing to your channel. I started following when Jackson was born. I was pregnant with my second baby and was searching for labour tips 🥰
Dear Emily, thank you for all you tips. To be honest I’m watching you videos all the time, especially when I’m doing house chores 😅 I really like your voice, very calming, honest and entertaining. I also watched a lot of your house tour and products tips videos, very informative. I don’t always put a comment, but so you know I appreciate very much your videos 😊
LOVE THIS VIDEO! You are the reason I started this channel! Was lacking motivation and this has just give me the kick I needed! Thank you for everything Emily xxxx
So proud of how far you have come emily! 👏 i was struggling if what i should my lil guys 5 years ago & i came across YOUR video of frazier & you eating tips or think it was what i feed my toddler in a day im so glad i found you & watch you grow with your boys & family! Your the best MOM wife in my eyes lol thanks for all your tips & videos always makes my day! 😊
Your story sounds similar to mine 😀 trip around the world? That must have been amazing and I wish you were a vlogger then. I do miss your pink kitchen (cos pink is my absolute fave colour)
Sisi and pink😀😀😀
one of my fav youtuber commenting on one of my fav youtuber i draw strenght from your channel and that has helped me in startting my own youtube channel
@@bukky9241 yes ooo
I remember everything. Even the 100,000 subscribers and how phenomenal and unbelievable that was. Well done Emily. Your journey is inspirational
Again another great video. Thank you 🙏 I do always look forward to watching them x much love ❤️
I would love to hear about some of your travel stories and see some of the pictures you’ve taken! Love your story!
Hi Emily, you were the first person I ever followed on RUclips and I did actually take the ‘plunge’ myself! I started a channel last summer and it has really become my special me time 😍 I really enjoy the creative side and it is just lovely having something that is my own (am a mummy myself so this is priceless 😆) watching your content really encouraged me to give it a go and am so glad I have ❤️
Am far from your level and for now I am simply enjoying the adventure. I completely agree with you, for those wondering about starting a channel just do it 😊 So amazing watching you grow as an influencer and as a person! X
Love this! Your positivity and story bring tears to my eyes. I wanted to say I love your “beginning of the month” planning new idea you’ve started! Love this style of video. Beautifully done with your channel, lovely Emily. Lots of love as always from the US ❤️ Claire
I literally found you last year when I found my self pregnant with my first child in a pandemic with no clue what I needed to prepare myself I’ve since watched all your videos and love your channel. Your tips really helped me xx
Love this! I would love to see a video about how you approach household chores when you get behind- like when the laundry piles up and the dishes get chaotic. I could use some tips! 🤣 I feel like we are always behind!
I love your authenticity! I’ve always wanted to try RUclips but the negative side of it really puts me off! X
Thank you so much for doing this video, I've just started out really and doing it because I find it so helpful watching other mums videos about cleaning and home decor stuff. So nice of you to give top tips and I really appreciate the insight into how you built your channel. I think consistency will be my biggest challenge and I'm much more present on Instagram so far but I have really enjoyed doing longer videos!
I am so glad that I found you when I had my first daughter.. your positive energy really helps get through a tough day.. thank you..
Thank you a thousand times over for this Emily! I appreciate your honesty and encouragement!
What a lovely video. I found you Emily last year when I was going to start couch to 5k and needed some tips.
Loved your tips etc and have watched ever since.
I am a 57 year old woman who lives at home with her mum.
No kids but work full time. I really enjoy your content and pop your videos on when chilling in bed at the end of my day.
Thank you . You are a lovely genuine lady 😀
You are such a ray of sunshine Emily ☀️
I’ve been so impressed with your ability keep up with your comments. Such helpful information.
So encouraging. I've been watching since the video about u finally quitting your job. Actually, bibana yetty recommended your channel on her channel a while back so when I was looking for videos on moms quitting their jobs, youtube recommended yours. Kudos Em! You have done so well. I enjoy watching your channel.
Ah I love this. Thanks for watching for so long, stay safe xx
I have been following you for years and have always been so interested and related to your content. Your first Amazon review video absolutely mesmerized me and I bought everything you suggested. From there I decided I wanted to do an Amazon review channel and finally started. Thank you so much for the inspiration. You are absolutely wonderful and I truly love you and your family!!
Hi Emily! I recently heard that you can email RUclips to get a verified tick. Some people with 100k get the tick just by asking!
Ahh I'm looking forward to this! I have a parenting / lifestyle channel which is slowly growing, but I definitely need allllll the tips!!
I always look forward to Mon, Weds, and Fri when you post. I first found your channel 3 years ago when looking for breastfeeding tips. Every video honestly feels like catching up with a friend. Lots of love from Canada! In lockdown here still, which is honestly so hard because it’s legitimately been over a year of on again off again lockdowns here. Your videos have helped me stay productive and positive!
Loved this video!! I have been with you since you were pregnant with Jackson 😊. My fav videos are Hacks, Cleaning, slow cooker meals and when you just sit down and chat with us, like you did in the beginning!! I am really enjoying your reno videos and how your new house is changing!! Thanks Emily 💚
Love this video! you are spot on about when someone is acting! That’s why you are doing so well, because you are being your lovely self. I always come away from your videos feeling so positive 😊 I’m really glad you didn’t listen to the doubters at the start and continued with your channel 🥰
I remember joining you in 2016 when we had our first boy and your content and personality inspired me to start up my own channel in 2019 after we had our second boy.
I have to say that I haven't been as consistent and dedicated as you have been but watching this video has inspired me to get serious with youtube and start uploading more consistently. ❤❤❤
I need to say that when i started my channel you were my inspiration and i have my bell on so i dont miss any of your future ones. Keep doing what you are doing. I love your work.
Love watching ALL your content Emily. You are such a motivated worker. Your genuineness, love of family and focus on making a happy and supportive environment shines through. You and Matt share a little of the trials too so we can all relate. I hope you can all get away for a lovely holiday very soon. Till next time - thanks for all the fun and inspiration ❤️♥️🧡
I've only recently come across your channel, but I have actually been binge watching your videos, and I love watching , you are always so happy x
I know I’m late... but you are so inspiring! My first experience really with digging into RUclips was when I was pregnant and I was searching for what to put in a hospital bag and I found your video. You put me so at ease. I was so anxious about becoming a mom but it was the best thing ever! And I could relate to your story you shared about your childhood. Thank you for being a bright spot for so many, especially during this crazy year. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I also have my own channel, it is over a year now, although my growth is very slow, I just can’t seem to give it up. It is something that is for myself aside from being a mother and a wife. Thank you for this video Emily and you are so kind. I by the way found your channel when I was looking for what to pack for a child when traveling in an airplane.
I put off starting a channel for years because I kept waiting for everything to be perfect, like a camera and my house to be perfect and my weight to get back to pre pregnancy annndddd...... it never happened lol but I started anyway in august 2019 I shared our gender reveal and i didn’t tell a soul 🙈 But I absolutely LOVE making videos and the whole editing. I think my problem has been finding my niche but I do love making helpful parenting videos so maybe something more down the mommy path. I really struggle with consistency too having a family of 5 and a business from home, I can’t believe how consistent you have been WELL DONE be a it’s not easy at all! You really do deserve all that you have achieved. I love how you say tunnel vision and ignore the negativity I take it so personal just a thumbs down. I think you have to have thick skin being on RUclips & you’ve done amazing. I can’t Thankyou enough for this chatty video ❤️ I’d love more tips like this for us small youtubers 🥰
lots of love J xoxo
Loved you since the beginning! Found it for my wife when she was pregnant, we found out at 24 weeks! Loved your stages videos as very relatable at the time. Now love all the organising and days in the life, please do another best buys for your kids now! Especially Jackson, would be great to know what I have to look forward to with my 3 coming on 4 years old!
Aw I found your channel when I had just had my baby! I found your baby updates so helpful! I was so inspired by your channel and decided to start my own! I am so happy that I made the jump, I love looking back at my videos to see my babies and memories made!
I’ve now upgraded from my iPhone to a new Sony camera and I love it!
So a huge thank you to you Emily ❤️💕
I love your story! i first found your videos when i was pregnant in 2016. my first video was your 12/13 week pregnancy update with Jackson. Ive learned so much from you and your boys. i have two kids now and i go back and watch the ones relevant lol. so cool to see your channel grow in the last 5 years!
What a lovely lady you are, Emily! Thank you for being so open and honest. I am a more recent subscriber, since your house move and the last couple of lockdowns.

Loved this video, thank you. I am 31 with 3 children, and run a business. I have thought about starting for a while, but didn’t think my life was interesting enough, but I guess real life is what people are after! 🤩
Such an interesting story Emily. Your business has grown organically over time and your positivity and authenticity shines! Thank you for all the fab content and for sharing your ideas to help others ❤️
Omg I'm here with my pen and paper waiting. Thanks for this Emily, I know its going to be good.

Thank you so much!!! This video was an answered prayer! You said something I needed to hear! "Start doing it! I learned so much from just starting and making videos!"- Emily :) I have actually filmed myself a few times, but lost the courage to actually start my channel! I am jumping in! Launch date 7/1/2021!! Fully committed!!!

My heart for you Emily 🥺♥️ I’m so inspired!!!
I found your channel watching Jackson’s baby updates years that correlated with my daughter’s age (now 18 months). Thank you! I really enjoy you and your content!
Hey Emily, I felt like you were talking about me, literally!
Thinking to start a channel..recording n editing on phone..ignoring the negativity...need to workout on setting a schedule though ( working on it)
But I’m grateful that I hit 218 subscribers for today which to me is such a big deal...& you know what? YOU ARE THE ONLY INSPIRATION+ MOTIVATION for that to happen, love you lots...thankyou so much deedi ( means sister in India)
Stay blessed...stay safe...you are amazing 🤩
I love this type of video 😍 I started my channel when I was pregnant as I missed the creative and structured side of my job! I love it! I only have a tiny amount of subscribers but I really love it! Seeing my wee boy growing up and documenting is so nice 🥰
Amazing Claire! Thanks for watching, stay safe xx
