A Behind-the-Scenes Look at My First Year on YouTube

December 12, 2024 marks my one-year anniversary as a RUclipsr and my journey from a novice tarot reader to where I am now. During my first year I created 160 videos, gained more than 650 subscribers, and had viewers watch more than 2,300 watch hours of my videos. I also conducted more than 450 readings.
I’m taking people for a behind-the-scenes look at my channel including:
Why I started this channel.
Decisions that I made about what I should and should not include in my videos.
What I’ve learned about myself, tarot and RUclips.
How and where I film my videos.
The rewards and challenges of the channel.
The spooky, other-worldly thing that happened during filming.
