    I saw your how to make notepads video maybe almost a year ago (I can't remember, time is a myth) but I've been subscribed since then! But also I love listening to studio vlogs, they're so calming and relaxing and they help me with my mornings and are just a really nice chill thing to have on in the background. I definitely like them since I have a hard time focusing and it feels like I'm actually hanging out with someone when watching. I love tutorial videos too, but I can't always focus and pay attention to those. But it was also really inspiring to hear that you were also extremely awkward in your early videos! I have the same problem when I even remotely try to record myself, and video recording feels so unnatural and like so much work, but I really want to be able to provide the same experience for other people. Watching this was very inspiring, and while I can't say whether or not I will be ever starting a youtube channel, this was very helpful to watch for anyone who would want to start on video content.

      That’s why I love studio vlogs so much too and why I wanted to start my own. I can be someone else’s company like other artists are mine but at the same time I’m also sharing my day to day with someone and makes me feel less alone!

    Hi I found your channel a few months ago and loved hearing of your journey. I started my channel last year and became too fixated on subs. I work full time so I don’t really need revenue from YT but the dream would be to earn enough money from YT to stop work and be at home more. Yourself along with Katnip, Neptunu, Coconutasha have inspired me to go back to my channel and change it to be more of a vlog. I am a sewist but have had fun doing some illustrations. Keep up the great content. Love from Australia.

    Aaa I wanted to share my experience and what made me start a youtube channel! First of all, you were one of my biggest inspirations alongside with Katnipp, JulianneDoodles, AppleCheeks and so many more. I wanted to make "Studio Vlogs" and I wanted to make "Daily Life" vlogs and somehow I found a way of mixing both and people seem to enjoy it as well ^^ I was very nervous in the beginning, not having english as my first language and without any experience talking to a camera ahaha I was also afraid I was "too late" for the party, since everyone was already making it. But I just did it! And it's one of my favorite things to create now! Editing the best parts, choosing the songs to go with it, making little animations for parts of the video. I don't know, there's so many things you can do with your videos so please if any of you want to start, start now! Or anytime really! Don't feel like you're "too late". I know it's probably lame to hear it like that but it's never too late if you enjoy doing it! Let's go!! 🥰💙

    Biiia este video era mesmo a motivação que eu estava a precisar 🥲 E adorei que dissesses para as pessoas criarem um canal só se gostarem mesmo, porque muitos videos que já vi dizem para criarem um youtube porque ajuda nas vendas e a promover o negócio. Eu criei o meu canal só porque queria partilhar as coisas que faço . Adoro conteúdo longo, o YT é a minha rede social favorita. Estou em pausa nos meus videos porque andava desmotivada por gastar tanto tempo neles e depois não chegar a muita gente. Acho que é normal depois começar a pensar se não devia estar a usar esse tempo de uma forma mais útil. Aquela culpa.... No começo desta semana voltei a ter imensa vontade de filmar para fazer um studio vlog. Este teu vídeo ainda me deu mais alento para isso. Obrigada ❤❤❤

(aliás vejo todos 😅) Também me licenciei em conservação e restauro na Nova de Lisboa, na Caparica, que coincidência!! 😮 mas nunca cheguei a trabalhar na área e entreguei montes de currículos, depois comecei a fazer videos para o youtube com DIY & Crafts, senti me perdida, trabalhei em alguns sitios como retrosaria e recepcionista e nunca me sentia feliz. Depois entretanto em 2017 decidi abrir uma loja no etsy e este ano decidi voltar ao youtube e tal como tu, ainda falo super devagar inglês, mas temos de começar por algum lado. 😊 És a minha grande inspiração portuguesa, continua e orgulha-te de tudo o que já conseguiste alcançar ✨️💖 Grande beijinho, Sofia

    I love watching you work. I’ve crafted and created things since I was very small and people would ask how did you do that. I am incredibly shy and never think that what I do has any worth, but I finally found the courage to start a RUclips channel three weeks ago. I am happy just to collect videos of my process and show them to anyone who asks how I did things. I agree is weird talking to yourself and I hate the sound of my voice, but I faced my fears and I just did it. Bravo to anyone who takes the plunge and just do it for yourself.
