HEY i'm so happy that you're here:))) thanks so much for watching!!!!!!!
Watching it 🥰
I’m so happy to be here:)) keep going I’m proud of you!!!
Love these type of videos ❤️🔥
Please don’t be shy about sharing how much you make off of what you love to do. You should be so proud of what you have accomplished! I have watched you from the beginning and seeing your success is so inspirational! Keep it up girl 🎉
thank you so much :,) you're so kind!!!!
I love the honesty you shared! This was SOOOOO informative and I loved it!
I'm so glad!🥹🫶🏼
Keep up the great work! Most of the reason we love your videos is due to your authenticity. You should not worry as much about the viewers and just do what you love and the success will follow. You're a really talented designer so keep that going. Do what excites you and don't do things for others. You're awesome!! Stay strong!! ❤
I love that you said no one will do your video like you will! Everyone is unique and we all have something amazing to add to the table! ❤
Yesssss :)))
Julia this was such a cool video to watch. I’m also an Indiana girlie and I work in marketing so I just love content like this. I truly hope yt continues to be sustainable for you in terms of an income but know would 100% watch videos of you starting a business if it comes to that! But I do love your vlogs too- and even though you feel like you’re not giving the audience anything with them those are low key my favorites- they’re entertaining and calming and fun! You’re giving me something enjoyable to watch on my lunch break or after work! Keep creating content and keep your head up! There are still so many exciting things to come 💕💕
awwww okay!! you're so sweet ahhhh thank you!!
LOVED this video and getting to see the behind the scenes!!! And thank you for your transparency on how much you make too 📷
hi julia! ive been subscribed to u since around the beginning of 2020! i have ALWAYS loved your tech videos! i’m a 26yr old stay at home mom and military wife so i’m home a lot and your unboxings, vlogs, morning routines and what’s on my whatever inspire me the most! hopefully this kinda helps ya out!
awww THANK YOU! okay so good to hear
Thank you for answering my question! Hope you have an amazing day Julia x ! 📸
of course:)))) you too!
I love your home/diy contact!! ill always watch your videos tho because you are so relatable and humble!
LOVE this type of video! I've been following you for about 3 years and love all that you do!
Wow, thank you!🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I loved this video so much! Loved a longer video, it was so much fun but I also loved all the insights and the transparency thank you so much🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved this long one! I think you should continue to make videos about things that make you feel good, dont force anything that is not natural to you 😅 and I personally like both vlogs and customization videos or productivity tips, and I have been watching you since Covid or even little before and you are definitely my favorite one! 🎉❤
Will support you no matter what! Thanks for being honest & vulnerable in sharing. My fav videos to see are anything home related & resets/ productive vlogs (or any vlogs honestly lol)🩷
aww okay!:))))))) thanks for the feedback you're the best!!
Love it thank you Julia! Also you answered one of my questions yayy awww fangirling hehe 📸
heheheh :) thanks so much for watching!
loveee this julia!! Thank you for sharing!
thanks for watching!!!!
shopping, thrifting, decorating, productivity, money making tips, sims content haha, and literally anything you want because i just love you :)
hahahah AWWW SWEET OKAY!! that all perfectly describes my favorite things ily
Hey Julia!
I stumbled upon your channel through a "What's on my MacBook" video and instantly got hooked. Your unique take on everything from the Oura Ring (keywords: FABM, FAM, NC, BBT, TCOYF) to Survivor drafts, gardening, CC3 (I started making an org chart on lucid chart cause, the characters…), and even camera tech is just spot on. Your narrative as a RUclips creator, emphasizing the crafted 'experience' and 'exclusivity' of your content, really sets you apart in this video.
As a MISBA student, I'm particularly drawn to how you weave analytics. Your approach to 'lookalike audiences' and ‘keywords’ echoes the strategies we dissect in class, and it's fascinating to see them applied so effectively.
I’m surprised Notion hasn’t snagged you for a collaboration yet, given your nuanced content and widespread appeal. Ever considered designing a bespoke 'neutral dash' homepage? It could be a game-changer for your brand's digital footprint.
Looking forward to your next analytical deep dive. Here's hoping for a sponsorship reveal in your future updates!
xxoo
hi!! woah, thanks so much!! hahahah you're too kind. i love notion!!!!!that would be an amazingggg partnership!:)
Hey Julia! Thank you so much for your honesty about how it really can be! I’ve been following you for years now and you’re one of my favs!!! I just wanted to tell you that if you feel lost with your content and don’t know where to go from here like you mentioned in the video, I’d say go with your heart! Remember when you started the channel it was something you just loved to do and I’m pretty sure your heart and your passion for the content you were creating is what led you back then. I feel like leaning on those things now will not lead you astray!!! You’re amazing and it’s okay, we all feel that way sometimes!! Just keep swimming 🤍
Hey Julia, I don’t think I’ve ever interacted with you on any platform but I do follow you and love watching your videos and instagram posts. I am an Apple lover so you got me on that pillar, especially unboxing and recommended apps. Thanks for explaining all about being a RUclipsr, I promise that I won’t skip any add in your videos 😊 Greetings from London, UK ❤
Thank you so much!! You are soooo sweet 🥹🫶🏼
📸!! I love your content because it inspires me Julia! I think a lot of us have been here awhile on your channel and still love the content you love making. I personally will be a subscriber for whatever content you decide to do💗
ahhh you're the sweetest!! okay got it thank you!
📸 I love your videos so much! They’re so inspiring. You’re doing amazing! ❤
thank youuu awww!!
To be honest - I started watching for the college day in the life videos you used to make. However, I love watching your videos and no matter what you post, I will always click on it and watch it. I personally really like the day in the life videos, cleaning videos, and reset videos. More like lifestyle content is what I enjoy. I really loved when you guys were moving and I also love decorating content. Obviously, the last couple I noted aren't always realistic because why would you just move for the content lmao but yeah. Like I said, I will genuinely just watch every video you post because I love your energy and I feel like you're one of my besties lol
I also feel this way about Lauryn. I started watching her college videos but still watch her stay at home mom day in the lifes/week in the lifes even though I am still in graduate school and no where near getting married and starting a family. Just because we discover you a certain way doesn't mean we will stop watching because you make something different or your life changes. I watch for you and not necessarily because of the content :)
Hopefully this helps a little bit!! :)
Been here since you were filming in your room at your parents house!!! I love your content and watch weekly. Whatever content you chose to do I feel like a lot of us will still be here! I love the reset videos, weekly vlog videos (it feels like we’re on FaceTime🤣). Again whatever you do, I’ll be here watching every week!!! (:❤
awwww 🥹🥹🥹🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 ily forever!! okay thanks for the feedback!
Loved this
Julia!! I've been watching your videos since 2020 but haven't been watching much RUclips for the past 6 months. Just starting to get back into and came straight to your channel. So proud of you and your hard work! Thanks for always being consistent and so real in your videos :)))
awwww!!
Love this video so much! And girl don’t be embarrassed to vlog in public because if you think about it you’re just doing your job and paying your bills. 📸❤
What a cute video of you sharing what you love about being a RUclipsr, Julia!
thanks for watching!
My favorite videos of yours are Iphone and macbook customization. I think you make the cutest wallpapers and stuff. I also really enjoy watching your weekly vlogs. You are one of my favorite people to watch. I love how in this video you were so honest!
awww YAY! thank you so much you're so kind
i love tht ur honest with where to go with ur videos
🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
THANK YOU! I've been working on growing my channel (not this acc) and I feel like u explained everything very well. I feel like most people when they do yt tips they aren't open and it feels fake so I feel like u being open made everything seem a lot more helpful!!!
ahhh i’m so glad! :)
This was so interesting and I love the transparency and filming style!
thanks so much!!!
Loved this video. Very informative and inspiring. I wish you all the success in your exciting future ahead.
Thank you so much!
As a tech content creator (VERY small), I think it's great to not worry about breaking down to a specific niche. It seems this advice is divided amongst other content creators, but I've liked the feedback and advice from people like Katie Steckly, who say a mix of niche content, vlogs, and whatever else you like can be a good mix. The caveat is, the vlogs should be under that umbrella of what your channel is mainly about - EG Tech, Lifestyle, etc That's what I plan on doing. Phew, sorry that was a lot. lol I LOVE your content and I watch everything from your iOS content to your vlogs.
I loved this video!! Watched it ALL ❤
awww YAY THANK YOU!
I enjoyed watching this video. I am a new RUclipsr and was motivated to keep going after watching this video! Thanks for being honest about things!!
ahhh YAY thank you so much!!!!!
I love how open and honest you are with this video! It also has such a cozy vibe that was def needed today! 🩷
awww yay perfect :)
Woo!! You answered my question!
i love this so much!! thanks for the kind advice, i love those ideas
i genuinely love how happy she is with doing youtube. i can FEEL the happiness radiating through the screen and i’m so proud of how much you’ve grown!! no matter what you do or what you post , i will always support you julia !! 🤍
you're SO SWEET IM CRYING
Hi! I’m not your average viewer as I am 52 but absolutely love you and your channel! I have followed you since 2020 and have learned so many tips and tricks from you on organizing, time management, iPhone tips, gmail tips, and more. Plus I love your vibe and style too. You are so genuine, sweet and it shows how much work you put into your content and editing too! I have been so impressed with all you have done and achieved in your life so far and that you’re still the most kind, humble, real person ever! I look forward to your videos and find them so relaxing. You truly deserve everything you have and have worked hard for!!! Thanks for sharing your life with us!!! Happy 2024!
you are so so kind 🥹🫶🏼 thank you for the sweet words!! i love the feedback, ahhhh thank you!
Keep up the amazing work Julie your such an inspiration ❤🫶❤
Thank you so much!!
I've been here for a few years and honestly, after you graduated and got married I haven't been watching your videos a lot, which I'm very sorry for! 😢
I love your vlogs, car cleaning, decluttering videos. Well I'd like to see even more decluttering content, seeing you try out new routines, being a wife, life advice on self growth, maybe do tutorials on your Mac for Final Cut Pro (just an example), hacks that you love for your iPhone or Mac or whatever.... stuff like that maybe 🙈 love ya!! And tons of hugs from Germany 🇩🇪
Welcome back!!! thanks so much for all the ideas!!💡
I think the thing that really stands out to me about you and your channel is your aesthetic. You are just so good at making things look cohesive and cute. So maybe focusing on content focused on home decor, DIY, aesthetic planning… stuff like that!?
Of course the OGs will always love vlogs (me included), but I know that gets repetitive for the creator!!
oooo okay!!
You’re giving me the motivation to keep going 😊
awww yay:)
Julia I’ve been watching your videos for a long time. You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs and I’ve picked some really good tips from you to customize my Apple products. Keep up the good work❤❤❤ Sending you love from San Francisco, CA 🫶🏼
ahhh thank you!! you're so kind!
in love with the wall behind you in your office❤
awww thank you!
LOVED this video! 🤍
Thank you!!
So glad I found you ❤
📸 I follow you since early 2020 and your Evolution is amazing - keep going 😊
You're the best!
Hey Julia!!! I think it would be awesome if you do a nail tutorial video, whether its press ons at home or going to the salon. Those are the type of videos that I enjoy. It even made me purchase a nail kit from amazon and I just did my first set yesterday 💅🏼
oooo okay!! good idea!
Thank you so much for posting this video.
thanks for watching :)
Dear Julia, I saw your video a few days ago but I finally have time to leave you a comment. JULIA you are my favorite RUclipsr, you started me on an obsession with YT and aesthetic content, and certainly "overspending" in Apple devices LOL. It makes me a little sad that you might feel discouraged about not getting the same results in your channel as you used to but right now you are 425k subscribers ahead of me so I would say you made it LOL. I totally understand the economic frustration but rest assured you have done your part, the rest is just waiting. You are so hard working and I love that you are not giving up and neither will i, i dont pretend to ever get to be as good as you in content creation but i dream to inspire others the same way you have/and are inspiring me ✨🫶
This was a great video. Thank You for sharing so much. The advertising business sounds like an awesome idea. ❤
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!!
@@juliakcrist 🥰
📸 hey girl! Love all your videos 😊
Yay! Thank you!
📷 love how real you were with us all!!
Hi Julia! I was still in the Philippines when I started watching you and now I live in Fort Wayne! and still watching you. Just the YOU is perfect and anything that you’ll get in to, I will be here watching. ❤
oh my gosh HEYYYYY!! we're pretty close to eachother hehe... thanks for being here
@@juliakcrist 💞💞💞
Thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching:)
I love longer videos!

This video was so amazing! 📸

📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸Btw, I love the longer videos. I mean, I love all of your videos but you know what I mean haha
YAYYYYY OKAY!
Loved this video! A rug would help with the sound/echo in your office
thanks!! and yes i need to get to ordering asap!
hey!! i just wanted to say that i love all your videos that you post!! you’re such a inspiration to me to stay motivated and be productive! you’re so full of light and i just love watching your videos!! keep being you girl 🥰💗🤍
awww hey thank you so much!! you're so so sweet!
Awww Julia!- you’re so humble and honest, always enjoy watching your videos. I have a question, did you say in one of your past videos that your major in college was advertising? So , with your office there wouldn’t it be it something if your advertising business began there in your office at home? Cheering for you Julia!!!!🎉🎉🎉
yessss:)))) that would be so fun!!!
Keep up the daily vlogs when you can’t think of something “new” to post. One thing you do that day may inspire a whole series!
great thinking:))
📸 I so enjoyed having this one!!
YAY OKAY
very very helpful ☺️
Glad you think so! ;)
📸 you did amazing. I started my channel last year it's definitely a struggle. I started mine to get exposure for me as graphic designer and digital artist . I learned really quick editing a video is definitely a long process. I love using capcut on my all devices. Thanks for the tips I definitely need it
it is tough to start!!!! thanks so much for watching!
Hi there! This is cool you share what it’s like to be a RUclipsr and they help you find things to be featured in! How do you set effective boundaries to separate commenting, replies, and personal life? Spectacular Julia appreciate your creativity and aesthetics! 💃
hey!!!!! i block my time out now usually so when the work day is over i try not to look at work things and that helps:)
I'd love to see an in-depth look at how you utilize Notion and integrate it into your daily life.
Yes I love my Oura Ring! 😅💖✨
AHHHHHH I NEED TO TRYYYY
❤❤❤
This was a good video to give us an inside look of how you work.
I like the Apple info so tips and tricks of different Apple products would be nice. I know other RUclipsrs do this but you explain it so much better.
It is nice to enjoy your work.
Have a good day
oooo okay!!!
Thank you for sharing! But also you worked hard for this so I am glad you are getting paid correctly for your work!! No matter what, it’s a job and you deserve to get paid for the work you put into this to get here.
I have a question tho, does youtube pay you for those that don’t have ads? I forget there are even ads cuz we pay for the subscriptions.
@@juliakcrist oh okay!! Good haha
I think we like the vlogs BECAUSE they are motivating, if that makes sense! :)
Good to know!🫶🏼🫶🏼
I loved this video! I discovered you with your IOS 14 video and I follow you and watch all your videos since then! I love that you have been so honest and feel so close as a friend. I love everything you do and I've always felt inspired by your videos. Just keep it up as you really are and all of us who watch and follow you will be here for you regardless of the subject matter of the video. Ily♥️📸
You’re the best 🥹🫶🏼 Thank you so so much😭😭
@@juliakcrist 😍😍😍
I personally love daily vlogs, weeks In my life, routines etc. I’m nosey and like to see what everyone is up to 😂😂. I do love all the Apple product videos, and tech content as well
awww cute okay!!!
You look so good in black!
thank youuuu you're so sweet
I do have a question…I love the most your tech/apple videos. Do you find useful having an iPad keyboard? Do you have it/use it? Thanks 💕
thanks!!! and yes I do use it, i used it a lot during college to take notes super fast because sometimes I couldn't write fast enough to take notes
Such a great video. Just keep going love to see more of you and if you start your own agency please tell us if want to do it worldwide:) big need in Germany
thanks so much!!

They want to see hauls, declutter videos, reset videos and vlogs.
love that advice from filming in public
the best!!!! 📷
Heyy, so I love your videos obviously and I love vlogs and tech and tips videos equally..so if you ask me you should focus more on your subtopics like reading books...it might be harder from the start, but I think it should work out
Noted!! Thanks :)
I love a TV episode the worse for me is trying to find another video to watch after a 10 min video 😂😂😂
hahahahha well PERFECT
Hey, Julia, you should post your notion template as for RUclips beginners that want like an inspiration to post and do those what you do! I’m just suggesting one thing for beginners. So don’t come at me for saying this and that!
That's a great idea!
@@juliakcrist OMGG your my biggest tech channel... thank you for replying to me back as soon as you can. I love your videos... thanks for inspiring me to do my best.
📸
Hello Julia! I've been watching your content for about 2 years now and I really appreciated this behind-the-scenes video! I just started content creation for books in November but mainly only stuck with TikTok. I want to eventually start creating more long-form versions of content but feel intimidated and anxious about it. Any advice on making that push from short to long-form? Also, 📸.
Thank you so much!! Oh my, It’s kinda funny because I am intimidated by short form content! I’m not sure if there’s any advice or tips other than just going for it and trying, and learning along the way!
thank you for responding! i'll have to keep the "just go for it" attitude when filming long form in the future!@@juliakcrist
Wonder if you could expand *some* of your content to other areas as you are now older and some of your audience is also no longer in high school and college anymore? I **LOVE** your productivity and cleaning vlogs, but maybe also do some on what you like to cook or your workout routine (could just incorporate in your regular vlogs)???
I cant even imagination how nervous u were to film this and for being so transparent with us but thank you! LOVE love how honest u have always been
ahhh thank you :,)
For filming/editing TikToks do you just film on the regular phone camera app & then load into TikTok? Or how do you edit/use trending sounds?
the first part yes, and for trending sounds i’ll film in the app!!
can you do a video on how to use notion? i really want to start using it for school but its soo confusing
oo okay!! sure!
i liked how long it was because of the type of video
okay amazing! yay!!!
Great Video! Maybe do a baking video
Thanks for the idea!🫶🏼
Hey I like all your vlogs that I am in
Inspire to try to do one of my own but I am to shy to try i don't know what te do
You're doing good you're pretty good youtuber
I appreciate that!
U welcome
📸📸📸
YAY!
more sit down videos!
okokok!!
how much icloud storage do you have?
I love your videos, they are so satisfying. My faves are probably monthly resets & cleaning videos.
I would love to see shop with me videos ~ grocery shopping, self care shopping etc ❤
yayayya! okay!!
What tripod do you use for your camera and your phone? I saw it in the video.
Also, I was wondering if maybe you could show how to use Imovie? Lol I'm trying to figure it out and I'm just lost 😂
rstyle.me/+YwAgxOiES5bTp7_8wyJt5A this tripod!! i love it!!!
and okay maybe!! i don't use imovie much anymore
@juliakcrist thank you so much! I am starting my first channel, and I posted my first video, raw and unedited, because I couldn't figure out how to use it. Thank you for the link, and I absolutely love watching your videos!
Thanks for the advice in this video!
