    Congratulations Jane on 10 years RUclips. My 10 years anniversary is on 20th March. I remember, you me and Terry all launched around the same time. I totally agree with all of the points mentioned, with the addition of a very important one for me. I made a big circle of friends within the community, both in person and virtually. Something I would have missed out on completely without creating a channel. Here’s to the next 10 years 🍾🥂😄

    • @JanesGrowingGarden
      @JanesGrowingGarden  8 дней назад +3

      Definitely - I've made friends here that I would never have met otherwise. I'm trying to remember who else I watched early on - I remember Sean and Tony, plus Claire's Allotment and Titli. There was certainly only a handful back then and most in SD! Crikey can you imagine another ten years - I hope it doesn't go by as quickly as the last ten! Thanks Nigel x

    Very timely as I have recently uploaded my first few gardening videos just to document our progress. My main reason for starting is to find a gardening community and be able to track how things change and develop over time.

    • @JanesGrowingGarden

    Congratulations on 10 years!
    I'm thinking about it. The empty channel is there. I haven't filmed anything, and I think editing on a phone might be difficult?
    I've always thought life itself is an algorithm. If you're grumpy and mean you're going to get more grumpy and mean. If you're satisfied and happy, more of that will come.

    • @JanesGrowingGarden
      @JanesGrowingGarden  7 дней назад

      Oh I'm sure you'll pick it up quite quickly - I know many people who edit on their phone! I do like your life algorithm - is that why I'm always craving chocolate biscuits? 😄 Good luck!

    I'm planting for pollinators and for wildlife as well and now I'm also trying to extend my growing season as far as possible. I still have to learn to do a call to action 😂 I hope you will write a book 📚 if it's your dream. It's really fulfilling once you've finished the the book and you hold it in your hands. That's an amazing feeling but it's hard work and I still remember how my back was hurting after sitting at the desk almost day and night to keep the deadline for the publisher. That's why I'm taking it very easy with my RUclips channel. As you've said so many RUclipsrs start and disappear again. So congratulations 🎉 on 10 years on RUclips Jane. Greetings Heidi 👩‍🌾💕

      Oh goodness what an achievement though - I'm still thrilled when my article is in a magazine - well done to you! It sounds like you know exactly what you're doing with your garden and your channel - there will be times when you think 'why bother' so it's really important to try and keep things in perspective. If you enjoy what you do it will shine through! Thanks Heidi.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this video, you made excellent points across the whole journey. RUclips is a learning curve for sure. The hardest is to start, the easiest would be to give up but we keep chugging along on this journey and without it I never would have thought it would bring me into such a wonderful community 🥰

    Congrats on 10 years! Well done sticking to it and still making fun and interesting videos. I'm always excited when I see you have a new video out. 😍 The storytelling is a good point.
    I have a 14 year old clip of my previous dog that the algorithm sometimes pick up and send out to new viewers and it has over 154 000 views. Most of my subscribers came from that clip and they don't care at all about my gardening videos in Norwegian, lol. Which I make mostly as a journal for myself anyway. I don't care about building my channel, but I sometimes wonder if I should do my gardening videos in English since I know some English speaking people are watching them. Don't think dubbing of Norwegian will come anytime soon. Plus, I speak a dialect, the automatic texting I saw on one didn't make much sense. I have a secret language the AI don't understand. 😅
    Btw, what happened to the krumkake, did you make it?

    • @JanesGrowingGarden
      @JanesGrowingGarden  9 дней назад +1

      The krumkake is still waiting in the shed - we actually took up all of the ingredients a few weeks ago but just haven't had the time to make them yet - something to look forward to! That's exactly what I mean about uploading videos - the fact your dog video is still doing well shows that once it's out there people will see it - whenever it was made! Why don't you try doing a few videos in English - I'm sure people would love to hear the Norwegian accent but yes AI has got a long way to go yet! Thank you.

    I've literally just started my own channel that I hope to use to look back on my growing journey. I've only made a few shorts so far & I've not appeared on camera. I'm using just my android phone & other than RUclips studio, I have no idea how to edit. I managed to add some background sounds to a short.
    I totally agree. It's a lot to learn. I'm happy that I've gotten 6 subscribers ☺️
    Well done for standing by your own morals ❤

      Oh the shed is lovely in a storm - good job the roof is well attached! Yes the one thing I would say is don't expect to be able to do everything at once - there is so much that you'll learn as you go along and it will soon slot into place. I've tried various types of editing software and to be honest there are some that give you so much stuff - you'll never use it all! So I stick with iMovie now and I'm still discovering new features! Good luck with your channel. Thank you!

    Congratulations mrs Jane for tenth anniversary of your RUclips channel. It’s great achievement. As I told you before iam Arabic lady subscriber to several British and American RUclips channels since Christmas 2019 . Since that I turned from ordinary subscriber to as real university student. There are very encouraging inspiring poem by American poet Douglas Malloch titled be best of whatever you are , if cant be pine on top of hill , be scrub in valley . But be best little scrub by side of rill . Be bush if you can’t be tree . The most important for continuation of RUclips channel is useful content for subscribers to benefit them in their life development not for waste and amusement. For example I learned about English language and literature, it I worked as tutor at home and applied to work as English teacher in academy improving plan for weak students. I hope all people both young or old understand importance of internet as great educational tool. Imagine I just read right now about honeybees are native to America , they were imported from Europe in 17 th century. There vegetables native in England potatoes, tomatoes, strawberry , broccoli, carrots,cabbage, apple. Famous flowers English rose , daisy .
