I feel like in today's youtube world it is hard to become big. back then people didn't care what the video looked like. So people like you were able to grow. I feel anyone who starts today needs to be 100% flawless and have the most expensive equipment. any camera less then 600 is not going to work. That's just how I feel.
+fantasyxo90 I see your point! However I don't recommend starting a channel to "become big". Do it as a hobby bc you love it! Anything forced just for money or popularity will be clear in your videos.
Yes its sad to say but you do need quality equipment!! back in those days of filming videos any old sloppy way did work because nobody really knew better. But honestly if you had a choice of bootleg video and cinema quality wouldn't you want to see the better quality version not to waste your time? Also there is billions of people on RUclips everyday so if your content is decent and the quality is decent I'm sure you can still get a big following...
I remember! My channel was big back then I sat under a tree and shot myself on my computer. It was about content. Now the competition is tough I guess:)
Since Michael doesn't technically have to work now do you regret moving to Nashville since you moved there for his job? Do you think you will move back to where your family is?
You have definitely have grown since you first started out and RUclips hasn't gotten to your head and it didn't change your personality! Love you for that! And glad it turned into a family business! As long as you two are happy, why not!!!
It's really nice that you are talking about RUclips as a career and you are not a hypocrite as most RUclipsrs on this topic. They are all about "don't do it for the money", "don't do it as a career", "do it only for fun" where you said it yourself, you did want RUclips to be your career, and I think that is very down to earth and honest of you to say. Thanks for this entire video. xo
You can tell how passionate you are about youtube. I have never doubted your authenticity. Never lose that! It sets you apart from all the other people who are only doing it for the money. The tips you gave may help people to take the plunge becoming a youtuber, but the trick to longevity on youtube is to be as genuine as alex is. xo
I watched this video about a year ago just because I was curious about what goes on "behind the scenes" in your life. Now I'm making my own videos and watching this is SO HELPFUL! It's funny how you can watch the same thing over and over and get something different out of it each time. Thank you for opening up and sharing so much about your life here!
This was so helpful and motivating!! I have been trying to make my channel more of a priority lately because it really does make me SO happy, and this video got me so much more excited about doing that! Thanks Alex! 😊
love the questions you picked.... you know I have been waiting for this video haha. its such a 24/7 job but so worth it. So glad to call you my friend your so inspirational xoxox
I loved this video! This is the very first video I've seen and I subscribed right away. I'm a small RUclipsr and seeing a successful RUclipsr be so open and willing to share their tips and tricks, filming gear, etc. is so so nice and so helpful. I've come across a few RUclipsrs who are so greedy when it comes to sharing anything at all about how they film or how they operate their own channel, but this video is really genuine and just great! Thank you Alexandrea, for this video and for simply being genuine and really staying true to yourself & to those looking to get help from someone who's climbed the ladder. I really appreciate that you weren't selfish to keep your tips and techniques to yourself. This video will definitely help many and that's wonderful in itself! I really do hope your channel continues to grow & grow & grow! Of that, you're very deserving. You're very right when you say people want to know real people, & you're definitely one of them! That's awesome! Thanks again!
Best RUclips related Q&A!!! Finally. Thank you so much for all the advice!! I am new to uploading... took me 4 years and two kids later lol better late than never because I love it!! Xoxo
Currently in school for fashion and a huge beauty/fashion lover. Whenever I go out, I am complimented & questioned about my clothes, makeup, hair, etc. almost everywhere I go and often told to start a RUclips channel for this. I always wanted to but pretty lost on how to begin, until I found your channel. Thank you so so so much for all of your extremely helpful tips, advice, products, etc. I watched like 10 videos before I found yours and you were(are) theee best & the only one that stayed exactly on topic and answered every single question I had in my head. Again, thank you so much. You helped me (& I'm sure a huge bunch of others) A LOT. xoxo
I've seen so many videos about RUclipsrs and this one by far has been the most informative and real videos I've seen! This makes me so much more excited about my videos on my channel! Thanks for all the lovely advice and inspiration Alex!
I love how informative and personal all your videos are. Working full time as a cosmetologist and finding time to film definitely isn't easy but I hate going months without filming. Whenever I have a client who gets inspired and learns new things from me in the salon, it gives me motivation to film more regularly! Thanks for your honesty!
I really appreciate this Video! I started my channel 4yrs ago and like you said kinda eft it alone and since last year, I decided I wanted to commit myself to posting more especially now that my career as a hairstylist is growing. When I got to 1K subs I was ecstatic LOL and I have gained 700 followers in like 3 months, which I am over the top with. I know that I am no where near what bigger RUclipsrs are but I am definitely committed. You gave me so much insight and inspiration and I appreciate people like you that are willing to help!. Again Thank you and god bless
Learned so much from this video. Thanks for your awesome advice! Simple, no nonsense ideas on how to setup a RUclips channel. I think there's so much information out there that makes it intimidating for new RUclipsrs that people just freeze up and don't end up posting anything. Thanks again!
+Kevin La I totally agree, its so easy to freeze up! This video is super helpful +Alexandrea Garza I have been watching your channel since the very early days and your Mac Book videos! Time for me to just take the leap...my very first video is filmed and up! Thanks as always for the inspiration!
Even though I am not interested in starting a you tube, I still watched this video because I love your channel! I love how genuine you are! It is so sweet of you to take the time to motivate and encourage others! You are my favorite youtuber!! Also I need that jacket!! 😍😍
OMG!!!!! Genius with the monitor idea that's going to help me a ton because I'm always filming alone. 4 years you have put a ton into your videos and its paying off ! keep it up girl and thanks for the tips :)
Alexandrea, thank you so much for making this video! It was so inspirational and it really helped motivate me with my channel! I love how honest you are and think you are awesome girl!😁
Alex I adored every minute of this. At times being a full time Nursing student, having a job, freelancing on the side and trying to find time for youtube is overwhelming...but watching this served as so much inspiration for me to keep going! Hopefully I'll be as successful as you one day, you're an amazing role model. Sending hugs and many blessings XOXO
This was such an amazing video. I feel like this is the first RUclips video that actually gave us real advice and didn't try to sugarcoat everything. I've been making videos for the past 6 years and I can definitely tell you that being consistent helps because I have 2 jobs and haven't made as much time for RUclips as I should have, but you have definitely inspired me. Also, the clean instagram and branding yourself is so important. I need to step my game up lol. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
i just found your channel early this morning and decided to subscribe to you immediately! Love how open-minded you showed to us and give people who wants to dig into this word the unconditional supports thanks a lot^^
I just filled out the application for kin community last night! I'm happy you are having success with them, I'm praying I hear back from them!! they seem like a great fit for me
Thank you so much!!! I love this and its helped a lot! I just started my channel not long ago and have actually JUST ordered the lighting Ill need--- Im in Nashville TOO!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxo
I know I’m so late watching this video lol, but I have been watching you and Michael since your Nashville Days and you have been such an inspiration to me and helping me get out of my shell and go for it with youtube. I am kicking myself for not starting like 3-4 years ago when I first said I would really like to do youtube, but I have started finally in July of 2018 and am currently doing it and I am seeing results slowly. I am definitely going to stick with it and keep going I’m not a quitter lol, but again, just wanted to really say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being you and such an inspiration.
This is by far my favorite "Informative Q&A." I feel like some RUclipsrs find it intimidating to share their secrets and show their behind the scene views. I really appreciate you being not only open, but completely honest! This is why you are one of my favorite bloggers. You and Michael are such a great team, KEEP IT UP:)
I found this video very helpful....tfs...I started doing youtube videos back in 2014 but lost my mojo and took a year break but now I'm back into it and I'm loving it. I'm working on making my videos better and I totally agree with you about taking it slow. I think my biggest problem was I was putting too much into my video all in the beginning and I got burnt out.
LOL I'm not a new youtuber either I deleted my two other channels and everything has changed so much so I'm learning everything all over again. Ugh there's so much
Thank you so much for sharing your RUclips wisdom with us! I'm going to need to check out all of that great equipment you recommended for filming, especially that camera/lens. I just recently started a youtube channel (nail art), and unfortunately, I don't have great equipment. But what you said at the end is exactly what everyone else says: start a channel anyway! Also, I'm so glad you spoke about upload frequency, because as a RUclips newbie, I feel like there's so much pressure to upload so frequently (almost every day) in order to gain more subscribers. I don't know how some people do it! :P
Hey ,when you first started out did you have all the equipment needed or did you just continue to build as you went on working on your channel? For example, i do not have the perfect lighting yet or right and I am using my lap top cam to film , but as I move forward with my channel I will be upgrading and investing. Its still ok in my book , I know creating and moving forward is still better then waiting till you have everything and the moment is perfect , that will never happened it would just keep anyone stuck in fear and not moving forward. Curious what you started out with. Thank you for giving the links to where you got your equipment products! :) Ps .... where you get your fluffy chair!?? ;)
This was so insightful! My favourite bit which EVERYONE should take note of is - IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING - MAKE TIME TO DO IT! If you want to be a youtuber, you will make the time to do it xx Great video Alex
Your lighting is seriously perfect. Also! I don't know if you have heard of it, but I use it for my videos and it's a lifesaver. I use Compressor by Apple and it compresses your video down like RUclips would and it tremendously decreases the time it would take to upload your video. I recommend checking it out. It takes around an hour sometimes more to compress, but then it usually takes less than 20 minutes to upload to RUclips. It is amazing! Just though I should tell you! :) Xoxo, Sarah Jane
Honestly girl this is by far the most helpful video of this topic! usually i hear the same things over and over but branding is one that I haven't! Thank you doll. I have a channel if you'd like to take a peak! xx
*Alex, you inspired me to begin my journey into the Beauty community. I'm starting on IG before I begin making RUclips videos as I work full time and I'm a mother of 3, so time is extremely limited for me. I've loved watching you grow these past couple years that I've been watching your channel. I've learned a ton from your videos, vlogs/tutorials and all. I just wanted to say "THANK YOU!!!" This video has definitely helped me to prepare myself better on what I should expect and how I can brand myself and be my own INFLUENCE. Since I'm just now starting, I will say it is tough to build a following when you're starting from nothing, but I've been doing everything I can to engage with others and get noticed by other beauty instagrammers although I haven't seen much of a difference. Hopefully things will start taking off for me, but until then I will take all the tips and help I can get.*
I just love your entire personality Alex. Ever since I found your channel over a year ago I fell in love with your videos and just your overall being and how much you have grown and evolved. It has also been so nice to see your relationship with Michael grow, since ALOT of youtubers don't really share their personal life, you have gone above and beyond to invite us all into your life. Keep up the great work Alex and doing what you love! BTW this make up is so beautiful!!! Glowing and fresh face! I'd love to see a tutorial on it! xoxo Teresa
+Alexandrea Garza You're welcome! P.S. what nail polish are you wearing in this video? and lipstick/liner? I feel like it's the Urban Decay liner and lipstick you showed in your last video :)
You are so refreshing! I love how honest you are!! You're def not like everyone on RUclips. We need more people like you. Thank you! You deserve 600k because you are almost there!!
Girl I get negative comments all the time. Here's some advice I'll give to all the new RUclipsrs... don't let the negative comments get you off your game. There will always be negative energy around you- you have to soar above it with thick skin to be successful.
+Hannah Witt Hi! We have a FB group for RUclipsrs who want to "Create 20 RUclips Videos" in 10 weeks Challenge. Would be great to have you, if you are up for the Challenge. facebook.com/groups/509145825935157/
I've watched SOOOO many of these videos and I have to say this one is hands down the best. You really were SO honest and went into such detail with every topic. This video helped me personally because I'm somewhat new with starting my channel. Thanks so much for being so informative I can't express how much this video helped soo much! Thank youuu xoxo
This is one of the best behind the scenes videos I've seen to-date! Thank you for the lighting links as well, I've been contemplating a lighting system because that's my major limiting factor at the moment, and I love the way you style your videos. I'd love to see a "hurdles" video, where you discuss common problems with a new channel, and things you overcame to get to be a full time content creator, like the balance you talked about w/ school+work+filming. Have you always stuck to a strict schedule, or has it evolved? Did you delete the previously uploaded content you deemed unsatisfactory after becoming successful, right as you gained momentum, or was it an action that helped hone your brand? Wonderful video!!
Accidentally stumble upon this video but really happy I did. This was probably the most genuine video I've heard from someone talking about their RUclips channel. Watching it from start to finish makes me wanna put more effort and dedication into building my channel ... and now i'll probably be getting beauty and fashion video recommendation in my feed smh
This is why I've always liked you! RUclipsrs rarely post videos like this, it's like it's some big secret or something. Love that you're honest and opened up this conversation! Great video.
Your honestly my favorite RUclipsr just because I feel like you're so real! You've never seemed to be fake or become different based on your channel growing and I love that. I strive to be as happy as you Alex!
I loved watching this video! What impacted me the most was when you said to put out something that you're proud of but don't kill yourselves trying to make it perfect the first time. I'm more into the visual/editing side of making videos than I am about being in front of the camera (kinda shy), but like you said, people want to see real people, not perfect people. Thank you for that! ;-)💝
This couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I've been contemplating RUclips for 6+ years now, and I'm finally ready to do it. I wish it wouldn't have taken me so long, but I don't think I was mature enough to do it until a couple of years ago.
I have no idea how anyone can dislike this video, but okay. This is the first video of yours that I've ever watched. I think that it's absolutely informative and all the questions you've selected to be answered from the bunch are great questions with given answers that are helpful, honest and straight forward! I appreciate this video. I found it to be super useful for me as I am thinking about starting my own channel as well and have been entertaining that idea for YEARS! Thank you so much! I am now your newest subscriber!
Alex, first off... I LOVE YOU! You are my greatest inspiration because of the sweet, caring, fun person that you are. I really needed to hear what you had to say about your career because I just started my own channel and you answered a lot of my questions. Thank you for pursuing us, followers, and I hope to be like you someday here on RUclips. Thanks again, girl!
This is THE best video on how to start RUclips and questions related to RUclips etc, honestly you can really tell how hard you work on your videos and how much effort of thoughts go into them! It's not just thrown together and you take it seriously which is amazing! Well done you deserve all the best😘
This was a fab video! I love how honest you are and your advice is so helpful. I just started my channel a couple of weeks ago and am loving making videos! ❤
Out of all the channels I watch, you have been the biggest & most positive youtuber that really is giving me a shove to try this out because as you said you just started out using the camera off the macbook! So since ive gotten my macbook its been an idea running through my head and hoping to find something to post that make me as happy as it has made you! Thank you so :)
I love that you always try to list what makeup/clothes your wearing in the description! I've been looking for a jacket like you're wearing for a while now and as soon as I saw you linked it I bought it. Thank you!
Thanks so much love!!!! My channel has grown in such a short period of time. I'm super proud of meeee.... 👏 everything you said is dead on! I'm so happy you did this video. It's my conformation that I'm on the right track I hope! Thank you sweetheart God bless you! 😘💕
I started my vlogging and lifestyle channel a couple of months ago. I came across your channel about a month ago and have been watching videos nonstop! And your vlog channel! This was a big help, so thank you :)
This is my first time ever watching one of your videos and I loved it! You kept me so interested the entire time. Also, you remind me so much of my older sister; you guys have similar mannerisms and speak very similarly. I think that also factored in to me being so drawn into this video. Your channel is lovely! This video was so informative and helpful. Thank you so much!
Hey Alex, I just wanted to say a quick thank you for this video. I started my channel about a year ago and it can be an adrenaline rush at times and sometimes it just seems like you get so addicted to the social media that you want to take a long break. This video really helped me to keep going and keep doing what I love to do. Again thank you and I hope you have a great night :) Jessica
This was awesome. I am a 34 year old, full-time working mom of 2 kids. I am nervous to get into vlogging, but excited for the challenge. I want to talk about my fitness journey and life as a working mom. Wish me luck!
OMG! Thank you for this video. It was so nice of you when you said at the end of the video you would watch other people's channel if they had one. That's amazing. I am from Uruguay living in Florida making videos of life style, fashion, etc in Spanish. I don't really know any other youtubers in my area. I feel very much apart from the whole thing and a bit lost. I tried to be consistent uploading and put videos that I would like to see. I would love to collaborate with other youtubers in my same category but it is just hard. 😳 It would mean so much to me if you stop by. Thank you again for this video Alex! And I loved that you work with your husband. 😘
Thank you so much for making this video! This was very open and honest. I feel like a lot of times people are really closed off about how this job works and it is hard for people who are thinking about trying it out to get started with the proper information. I started my channel because I fell in love with this community and want to give back to it. At this point I am not completely comfortable with talking to camera, so I also stated a blog. I have been really enjoying that! Alex, I really agree with what you said about Instagram being so important! Another thing I do other than using hashtags is actually tagging the company in my post. It lets them know that I exist, and am interested in their product. More and more I have been getting a response from that. Good luck to everyone who is pursuing their dreams! It is a truly amazing thing! 💖
Alex, thank you so much for this video! It was super helpful. There is so much that goes into building a RUclips channel and I always am so thankful to get some advice from some of my favorite RUclipsr's! I love how dedicated you are to your channel, your hard work really shows in each video
I love that you don't keep everything a secret. It is so helpful for people starting their own channels, to hear how you are successfully running yours!
Idk why but I felt a little sad when you answered the question about How you got successful so quick. Totally ignoring the last 4 years of work. I really appreciate the details in this video and how you simplified it. I am still in the infant phrase of my channel even though I've had it for 3 years. I am now taking it a more serious. Thank you for this advice!
This video was so incredibly helpful! I wish I could have watched this in the first hour so you were available to answer questions! I just recently started my own channel and I really agree with you when you said that rather than focusing on absolute perfection, you should get yourself out there and try your best. I'm slowly realizing that my videos will most likely not go exactly as planned and you have to roll with it! Your channel is such an inspiration for me and I'm so glad you gave some behind the scenes because most influential content creators don't! Love your style, channel, and personality! ✿
I just started my own channel this week finally after months of thinking about it and I am so happy I just randomly ran across your channel tonight and saw this video. I loved watching it and hearing your opinion on things, thank you for answering all of those questions. You seem so great and relatable and I can not wait to watch a bunch more of your videos! :)
I love that you posted a video answering all of these detailed questions from your subscribers. I have never heard a RUclipsr go so in depth in these questions. So cool! I love watching your videos. Keep doing you :) and by the way, your wedding ring is GORGEOUS. my husband is upset I want a ring like that now☺️
Alex, I'm so happy for you and Michael him being able to work part time and working with you has to be awesome. You guys are so young and to able to do what you 2 are doing is great. My husband just retired and I love love having him home. He was in construction so no more worries where the job was concerned. You know I think you 2 are great. From the first time for me seeing Michael he just seemed so laid back and such a gentlemen and really was he's so sweet to you, and you can tell you 2 click. Really enjoyed this video. You will have to do a Q&A with you and Michael. Hope Colby is doing good. Thanks for all your work, oh and thanks for introducing Mallory she is a doll.
the best part of you tube is the interaction and actually find out hat you solved any problem for people. it feels like actual life and you feel like your life matters and what you have been blessed to learn makes someone happy!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!1
This was the first video of yours that I've watched (popped up on my home page), and you seem so lovely and genuine :) look forward to seeing more videos xx
What a great video! I have to say when I started my channel almost a year ago I didn't realize how hard being a RUclipsr really is. Not that I expected it to be easy but I didn't think about all the hats you have to wear and what all goes into making a 15 minute video. At the same time, I started my beauty channel for 2 reasons.....I love people and I love makeup. Those two components parley into why I'm still making videos. My channel hasn't grown as quickly as I wish it would have and I don't have huge brands sending me free products, but that's not why I started my channel. If you start for the wrong reasons you can end up being very disappointed because you can't control how other people are going to receive you. Although this is not my full time job, my channel is something I love devoting the time and effort into and the reasons why I started my channel are the reasons why I know I'll be doing this for years to come!
Thank you for the great tips and encouragement. It felt like you were talking to me! I had started my channel 3 years ago and filmed a few videos but stopped myself. Just last week I decided I was just going to do it and I uploaded 2 new videos this week. I know I have a lot of work to do and things to improve like audio, lighting, branding, etc but I knew it was now or never. I can't improve if I never start.
Your new vlog channel link is broken, just thought I would let you know. Real great video, I don't do make up as I'm a dude :p But great advice on the light setup :) Only came for that but ended up watching the full video lol. You obviously work very hard. New to RUclips myself, I know how long editing can be. Keep it up
I seriously loved this video! Especially how you said that it's the saddest thing to see people stop themselves from doing something they love or challenges them and it really pumped me up! I loved seeing how u film and edit it just brought this glam fun video life to reality and it made me appreciate what you girls do. Thanks for thinking outside the box and getting personal love ya can't wait to watch more videos
Alex, I always leave a comment or try too! I watch other you tubers as well, but lately you have been killing it with the videos, like you said you have grown and it wasn't just over night! I've been watching RUclips for years, I love it, and I really think your doing a great job, and I know I'm not a RUclips but you can tell you put in a lot of effort, I love your passion for RUclips it's so cool, congrats to Michael and you on your journey of RUclips!
I've never seen your channel before and I have to say, I loved this video! It seems like you're totally and genuinely sincere with your channel and people. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the whole video and hearing you answer your fans and subscribers with sincerity. Kudos and keep on crushing it. Thanks for the video and advice!
Totally felt you on being your own worst critic. I began putting videos up in 2009 here and there, and most of them have never seen the light of day lol. It's mainly been from self criticism, but also because I've found it difficult to mesh all the different genres I like into one, like who'd wanna watch eccentric ol' me? But I think you're right, I just need to put myself out there, upload what I like, and hope for the best! Great video chica and I'm happy I've found your videos!
Hey Alex! You are honestly one of my favorite youtubers! I have a channel as well but lately i've been in a funk. I get discouraged because I feel like my videos aren't as good as other youtubers who have a bigger space to film or better quality products to film with, but watching this video just helped me remember why I love filming youtube videos and it honestly raised my spirits once again to try to get myself out there and get noticed. This video was soo helpful xoxo
Getting to watch your youtube videos can literally turn my mood around and make me have a better day. I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you do and thank you for being the genuine person you are
I just wanted to thank you for making this video! I am on the brink of starting my channel and this was so helpful. Aside from all that, I wanted to send you some hugs to make up for any nasty comments that anyone has ever left. You're adorable. Don't listen to any of it. ;) Keep on making awesome videos!!
Even though this was two years ago, I just watched it for the first time and it was SO helpful. You have such an amazing, genuine personality. I recently started my channel so I'm definitely going to use all of these tips.
Alex, you are such an inspiration to me. I currently started college in my first year for International Business Management, and i love it, put i know that my passion is makeup. Your advice has given me the confidence to start my own channel and just like you said if you love it you will try to make time for it, which is what i want to do because it makes me happy watching videos and doing my makeup and helping others :) Thanks so much for your videos, xxo

I feel like in today's youtube world it is hard to become big. back then people didn't care what the video looked like. So people like you were able to grow. I feel anyone who starts today needs to be 100% flawless and have the most expensive equipment. any camera less then 600 is not going to work. That's just how I feel.
+fantasyxo90 I see your point! However I don't recommend starting a channel to "become big". Do it as a hobby bc you love it! Anything forced just for money or popularity will be clear in your videos.
Yes its sad to say but you do need quality equipment!! back in those days of filming videos any old sloppy way did work because nobody really knew better. But honestly if you had a choice of bootleg video and cinema quality wouldn't you want to see the better quality version not to waste your time? Also there is billions of people on RUclips everyday so if your content is decent and the quality is decent I'm sure you can still get a big following...
I remember! My channel was big back then I sat under a tree and shot myself on my computer. It was about content. Now the competition is tough I guess:)
I don’t think you need anything expensive to start off I am starting off with my iPhone 😊
Since Michael doesn't technically have to work now do you regret moving to Nashville since you moved there for his job? Do you think you will move back to where your family is?
+AndreaJxo great question! im curiou to know as well
I actually admire the fact that you made this video explaining how the whole RUclips career works not many youtubers would actually do this so thanks!
You have definitely have grown since you first started out and RUclips hasn't gotten to your head and it didn't change your personality! Love you for that! And glad it turned into a family business! As long as you two are happy, why not!!!
It's really nice that you are talking about RUclips as a career and you are not a hypocrite as most RUclipsrs on this topic. They are all about "don't do it for the money", "don't do it as a career", "do it only for fun" where you said it yourself, you did want RUclips to be your career, and I think that is very down to earth and honest of you to say. Thanks for this entire video. xo
I love how you're so honest
Thank you for that
You can tell how passionate you are about youtube. I have never doubted your authenticity. Never lose that! It sets you apart from all the other people who are only doing it for the money. The tips you gave may help people to take the plunge becoming a youtuber, but the trick to longevity on youtube is to be as genuine as alex is. xo
+Lei la Thank you, that means so much to me and I'm so happy to hear you can tell how much I love it! You're support means the world to me xoxo
I watched this video about a year ago just because I was curious about what goes on "behind the scenes" in your life.
Now I'm making my own videos and watching this is SO HELPFUL! It's funny how you can watch the same thing over and over and get something different out of it each time.
Thank you for opening up and sharing so much about your life here!
Love how positive you were throughout the whole thing! Love you! xo
Thanks girl! Love you xoxo
This was so helpful and motivating!! I have been trying to make my channel more of a priority lately because it really does make me SO happy, and this video got me so much more excited about doing that! Thanks Alex! 😊
love the questions you picked.... you know I have been waiting for this video haha. its such a 24/7 job but so worth it. So glad to call you my friend your so inspirational xoxox
+Sam Ozkural Love you girly! xoxo
I loved this video! This is the very first video I've seen and I subscribed right away. I'm a small RUclipsr and seeing a successful RUclipsr be so open and willing to share their tips and tricks, filming gear, etc. is so so nice and so helpful. I've come across a few RUclipsrs who are so greedy when it comes to sharing anything at all about how they film or how they operate their own channel, but this video is really genuine and just great! Thank you Alexandrea, for this video and for simply being genuine and really staying true to yourself & to those looking to get help from someone who's climbed the ladder. I really appreciate that you weren't selfish to keep your tips and techniques to yourself. This video will definitely help many and that's wonderful in itself! I really do hope your channel continues to grow & grow & grow! Of that, you're very deserving. You're very right when you say people want to know real people, & you're definitely one of them! That's awesome! Thanks again!
Best RUclips related Q&A!!! Finally. Thank you so much for all the advice!! I am new to uploading... took me 4 years and two kids later lol better late than never because I love it!! Xoxo
In new too! I find it a lot of fun having my own channel!
Currently in school for fashion and a huge beauty/fashion lover. Whenever I go out, I am complimented & questioned about my clothes, makeup, hair, etc. almost everywhere I go and often told to start a RUclips channel for this. I always wanted to but pretty lost on how to begin, until I found your channel. Thank you so so so much for all of your extremely helpful tips, advice, products, etc. I watched like 10 videos before I found yours and you were(are) theee best & the only one that stayed exactly on topic and answered every single question I had in my head. Again, thank you so much. You helped me (& I'm sure a huge bunch of others) A LOT. xoxo
I just started a channel and this is so inspiring! Thank you💓
Sara Flail thanks love! Same to you
Lamia Dagher Great channel :)
hey I just started my channel it would mean alot to me if you guy check it out & SUB! i will be sure to return the favor
:) great channel! Check mine out as well just uploaded a new video
Lamia Dagher I am a newbie too! Let’s support each other ?
You are seriously such a hard worker and I admire how supportive and helpful Michael is as well. LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel.
I've seen so many videos about RUclipsrs and this one by far has been the most informative and real videos I've seen!
This makes me so much more excited about my videos on my channel!
Thanks for all the lovely advice and inspiration Alex!
I love how informative and personal all your videos are. Working full time as a cosmetologist and finding time to film definitely isn't easy but I hate going months without filming.
Whenever I have a client who gets inspired and learns new things from me in the salon, it gives me motivation to film more regularly! Thanks for your honesty!
I love your theme on Instagram & your style! It's so different from other RUclipsrs and it makes you stand out. Xo
Ellie Cecilia Tabares What's her theme?
I really appreciate this Video! I started my channel 4yrs ago and like you said kinda eft it alone and since last year, I decided I wanted to commit myself to posting more especially now that my career as a hairstylist is growing. When I got to 1K subs I was ecstatic LOL and I have gained 700 followers in like 3 months, which I am over the top with. I know that I am no where near what bigger RUclipsrs are but I am definitely committed. You gave me so much insight and inspiration and I appreciate people like you that are willing to help!. Again Thank you and god bless
Learned so much from this video. Thanks for your awesome advice! Simple, no nonsense ideas on how to setup a RUclips channel. I think there's so much information out there that makes it intimidating for new RUclipsrs that people just freeze up and don't end up posting anything. Thanks again!
+Kevin La Absolutely! I'm glad you enjoyed.
+Kevin La I totally agree, its so easy to freeze up! This video is super helpful +Alexandrea Garza I have been watching your channel since the very early days and your Mac Book videos! Time for me to just take the leap...my very first video is filmed and up! Thanks as always for the inspiration!
Even though I am not interested in starting a you tube, I still watched this video because I love your channel! I love how genuine you are! It is so sweet of you to take the time to motivate and encourage others! You are my favorite youtuber!! Also I need that jacket!! 😍😍
This was the most helpful "starting out on youtube" video I've watched and I've watched quite a few.. Thank you!
I agree.. finally a good one. Most just tell you to subscribe and people will subscribe back
OMG!!!!! Genius with the monitor idea that's going to help me a ton because I'm always filming alone. 4 years you have put a ton into your videos and its paying off ! keep it up girl and thanks for the tips :)
you have inspired me to go for it. Investing in the equipment and hope to put my first one up soon! xx
+Louise Latham Great! Good luck!
Amazing video!!
I love all your information to set up the lights!! and your motivational message to do what we love in life!!!
Alexandrea, thank you so much for making this video! It was so inspirational and it really helped motivate me with my channel! I love how honest you are and think you are awesome girl!😁
Alex I adored every minute of this. At times being a full time Nursing student, having a job, freelancing on the side and trying to find time for youtube is overwhelming...but watching this served as so much inspiration for me to keep going! Hopefully I'll be as successful as you one day, you're an amazing role model. Sending hugs and many blessings XOXO
Thank you so much for this video Alex! This was so helpful to me. Plus your lighting is AMAZING! Those soft boxes give awesome lighting :)
This was such an amazing video. I feel like this is the first RUclips video that actually gave us real advice and didn't try to sugarcoat everything. I've been making videos for the past 6 years and I can definitely tell you that being consistent helps because I have 2 jobs and haven't made as much time for RUclips as I should have, but you have definitely inspired me. Also, the clean instagram and branding yourself is so important. I need to step my game up lol. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
i just found your channel early this morning and decided to subscribe to you immediately!
Love how open-minded you showed to us and give people who wants to dig into this word the unconditional supports
thanks a lot^^
Wow thanks so much! I'm so happy to hear you like my channel 💕
I just filled out the application for kin community last night! I'm happy you are having success with them, I'm praying I hear back from them!! they seem like a great fit for me
Thank you so much!!! I love this and its helped a lot! I just started my channel not long ago and have actually JUST ordered the lighting Ill need--- Im in Nashville TOO!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxo
Awesome, thank you!!
Sara Flail just subscribed!!!
Franklin & Nashville, Tennessee represent!!
Loved the clarity of your walkthrough! Thanks Alexandrea!!!
I know I’m so late watching this video lol, but I have been watching you and Michael since your Nashville Days and you have been such an inspiration to me and helping me get out of my shell and go for it with youtube.
I am kicking myself for not starting like 3-4 years ago when I first said I would really like to do youtube, but I have started finally in July of 2018 and am currently doing it and I am seeing results slowly.
I am definitely going to stick with it and keep going I’m not a quitter lol, but again, just wanted to really say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being you and such an inspiration.
great video, this is the first of yours I've seen, gonna check out your channel.thanks for the realness xoxo
This is by far my favorite "Informative Q&A." I feel like some RUclipsrs find it intimidating to share their secrets and show their behind the scene views. I really appreciate you being not only open, but completely honest! This is why you are one of my favorite bloggers. You and Michael are such a great team, KEEP IT UP:)
Thank you so much! I've got nothing to hide and I'm proud of my job so I have no problem talking about it you know?! Xoxo
Just started my channel a few weeks ago & this video was sooooo helpful & detailed. Thank you!!
& OMG I'm in Nashville too! Lol
I found this video very helpful....tfs...I started doing youtube videos back in 2014 but lost my mojo and took a year break but now I'm back into it and I'm loving it. I'm working on making my videos better and I totally agree with you about taking it slow. I think my biggest problem was I was putting too much into my video all in the beginning and I got burnt out.
LOL I'm not a new youtuber either I deleted my two other channels and everything has changed so much so I'm learning everything all over again. Ugh there's so much
Indigo Inspired I feel you girl. I feel like my videos look like such crap 😩
Elizabeth Miller girl not even! You're adorable and have great lighting. Lighting is my biggest problem.
You girls are doing awesome :) keep at it
Sammy Jayne - Idle Girl Sammy!!! I love your videos babe! 💖💖💖
Thank you so much for sharing your RUclips wisdom with us! I'm going to need to check out all of that great equipment you recommended for filming, especially that camera/lens. I just recently started a youtube channel (nail art), and unfortunately, I don't have great equipment. But what you said at the end is exactly what everyone else says: start a channel anyway! Also, I'm so glad you spoke about upload frequency, because as a RUclips newbie, I feel like there's so much pressure to upload so frequently (almost every day) in order to gain more subscribers. I don't know how some people do it! :P
Hey ,when you first started out did you have all the equipment needed or did you just continue to build as you went on working on your channel? For example, i do not have the perfect lighting yet or right and I am using my lap top cam to film , but as I move forward with my channel I will be upgrading and investing. Its still ok in my book , I know creating and moving forward is still better then waiting till you have everything and the moment is perfect , that will never happened it would just keep anyone stuck in fear and not moving forward. Curious what you started out with. Thank you for giving the links to where you got your equipment products! :)
Ps .... where you get your fluffy chair!?? ;)
Stephanie salazar I think is a rug put on top of chair!! I have several of those! Got them from Costco!
This was so insightful! My favourite bit which EVERYONE should take note of is - IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING - MAKE TIME TO DO IT! If you want to be a youtuber, you will make the time to do it xx Great video Alex
Yeah iMovie doesn't give you everything you need or would want to do. If you want to do more advance editing Final Cut Pro is worth it.
I'm using iMovie right now and it's fine but limiting. Hopefully I will upgrade by the end of year.
Your lighting is seriously perfect. Also! I don't know if you have heard of it, but I use it for my videos and it's a lifesaver. I use Compressor by Apple and it compresses your video down like RUclips would and it tremendously decreases the time it would take to upload your video. I recommend checking it out. It takes around an hour sometimes more to compress, but then it usually takes less than 20 minutes to upload to RUclips. It is amazing! Just though I should tell you! :)
Xoxo, Sarah Jane
Honestly girl this is by far the most helpful video of this topic! usually i hear the same things over and over but branding is one that I haven't! Thank you doll. I have a channel if you'd like to take a peak! xx
*Alex, you inspired me to begin my journey into the Beauty community. I'm starting on IG before I begin making RUclips videos as I work full time and I'm a mother of 3, so time is extremely limited for me. I've loved watching you grow these past couple years that I've been watching your channel. I've learned a ton from your videos, vlogs/tutorials and all. I just wanted to say "THANK YOU!!!" This video has definitely helped me to prepare myself better on what I should expect and how I can brand myself and be my own INFLUENCE. Since I'm just now starting, I will say it is tough to build a following when you're starting from nothing, but I've been doing everything I can to engage with others and get noticed by other beauty instagrammers although I haven't seen much of a difference. Hopefully things will start taking off for me, but until then I will take all the tips and help I can get.*
thank you for this video! super informative and helpful xo
I just love your entire personality Alex. Ever since I found your channel over a year ago I fell in love with your videos and just your overall being and how much you have grown and evolved. It has also been so nice to see your relationship with Michael grow, since ALOT of youtubers don't really share their personal life, you have gone above and beyond to invite us all into your life. Keep up the great work Alex and doing what you love! BTW this make up is so beautiful!!! Glowing and fresh face! I'd love to see a tutorial on it! xoxo Teresa
Thank you so much! I love sharing my life with you guys xoxoxo
+Alexandrea Garza You're welcome! P.S. what nail polish are you wearing in this video? and lipstick/liner? I feel like it's the Urban Decay liner and lipstick you showed in your last video :)
New Subscriber! Love your channel :)
+Jamie Walsh that is what I was thinking :D
You are so refreshing! I love how honest you are!! You're def not like everyone on RUclips. We need more people like you. Thank you! You deserve 600k because you are almost there!!
I just started out with RUclips and this was very helpful :)
Sub for sub?? 🤗
Girl I get negative comments all the time. Here's some advice I'll give to all the new RUclipsrs... don't let the negative comments get you off your game. There will always be negative energy around you- you have to soar above it with thick skin to be successful.
any small you tubers wanna support each other??
+Hannah Witt Check out my channel and leave a comment/like so I know to check out your channel :)
+Hannah Witt I will support both of you as well. Always trying to connect with other beauty YTers!
+Hannah Witt Hi! We have a FB group for RUclipsrs who want to "Create 20 RUclips Videos" in 10 weeks Challenge. Would be great to have you, if you are up for the Challenge. facebook.com/groups/509145825935157/
+Hannah Witt i Post New Videos Every week Im Looking For Someone To Collab With
+Hannah Witt hey! i'd love if you could check out my channel, thank you! have a nice day x
I've watched SOOOO many of these videos and I have to say this one is hands down the best. You really were SO honest and went into such detail with every topic. This video helped me personally because I'm somewhat new with starting my channel. Thanks so much for being so informative I can't express how much this video helped soo much! Thank youuu xoxo
Beauty room tour please!!!! 😁😬
This is one of the best behind the scenes videos I've seen to-date! Thank you for the lighting links as well, I've been contemplating a lighting system because that's my major limiting factor at the moment, and I love the way you style your videos. I'd love to see a "hurdles" video, where you discuss common problems with a new channel, and things you overcame to get to be a full time content creator, like the balance you talked about w/ school+work+filming. Have you always stuck to a strict schedule, or has it evolved? Did you delete the previously uploaded content you deemed unsatisfactory after becoming successful, right as you gained momentum, or was it an action that helped hone your brand? Wonderful video!!
Accidentally stumble upon this video but really happy I did. This was probably the most genuine video I've heard from someone talking about their RUclips channel. Watching it from start to finish makes me wanna put more effort and dedication into building my channel
... and now i'll probably be getting beauty and fashion video recommendation in my feed smh
"persistent, consistent, patient and don't give up" excellent motivation in those 4 words. Thanks for this awesome video.
This is why I've always liked you! RUclipsrs rarely post videos like this, it's like it's some big secret or something. Love that you're honest and opened up this conversation! Great video.
Your honestly my favorite RUclipsr just because I feel like you're so real! You've never seemed to be fake or become different based on your channel growing and I love that. I strive to be as happy as you Alex!
I loved watching this video! What impacted me the most was when you said to put out something that you're proud of but don't kill yourselves trying to make it perfect the first time. I'm more into the visual/editing side of making videos than I am about being in front of the camera (kinda shy), but like you said, people want to see real people, not perfect people. Thank you for that! ;-)💝
This couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I've been contemplating RUclips for 6+ years now, and I'm finally ready to do it. I wish it wouldn't have taken me so long, but I don't think I was mature enough to do it until a couple of years ago.
I have no idea how anyone can dislike this video, but okay.
This is the first video of yours that I've ever watched. I think that it's absolutely informative and all the questions you've selected to be answered from the bunch are great questions with given answers that are helpful, honest and straight forward! I appreciate this video. I found it to be super useful for me as I am thinking about starting my own channel as well and have been entertaining that idea for YEARS! Thank you so much!
I am now your newest subscriber!
Alex, first off... I LOVE YOU! You are my greatest inspiration because of the sweet, caring, fun person that you are. I really needed to hear what you had to say about your career because I just started my own channel and you answered a lot of my questions. Thank you for pursuing us, followers, and I hope to be like you someday here on RUclips. Thanks again, girl!
This is THE best video on how to start RUclips and questions related to RUclips etc, honestly you can really tell how hard you work on your videos and how much effort of thoughts go into them! It's not just thrown together and you take it seriously which is amazing! Well done you deserve all the best😘
This was a fab video! I love how honest you are and your advice is so helpful. I just started my channel a couple of weeks ago and am loving making videos! ❤
Out of all the channels I watch, you have been the biggest & most positive youtuber that really is giving me a shove to try this out because as you said you just started out using the camera off the macbook! So since ive gotten my macbook its been an idea running through my head and hoping to find something to post that make me as happy as it has made you! Thank you so :)
I love that you always try to list what makeup/clothes your wearing in the description! I've been looking for a jacket like you're wearing for a while now and as soon as I saw you linked it I bought it. Thank you!
Thanks so much love!!!! My channel has grown in such a short period of time. I'm super proud of meeee.... 👏 everything you said is dead on! I'm so happy you did this video. It's my conformation that I'm on the right track I hope! Thank you sweetheart God bless you! 😘💕
Love it girly!!! Keep up the hard work!
I started my vlogging and lifestyle channel a couple of months ago. I came across your channel about a month ago and have been watching videos nonstop! And your vlog channel! This was a big help, so thank you :)
This is my first time ever watching one of your videos and I loved it! You kept me so interested the entire time. Also, you remind me so much of my older sister; you guys have similar mannerisms and speak very similarly. I think that also factored in to me being so drawn into this video. Your channel is lovely! This video was so informative and helpful. Thank you so much!
Hey Alex,
I just wanted to say a quick thank you for this video. I started my channel about a year ago and it can be an adrenaline rush at times and sometimes it just seems like you get so addicted to the social media that you want to take a long break. This video really helped me to keep going and keep doing what I love to do.
Again thank you and I hope you have a great night :)
Jessica
This was awesome. I am a 34 year old, full-time working mom of 2 kids. I am nervous to get into vlogging, but excited for the challenge. I want to talk about my fitness journey and life as a working mom. Wish me luck!
OMG! Thank you for this video. It was so nice of you when you said at the end of the video you would watch other people's channel if they had one. That's amazing. I am from Uruguay living in Florida making videos of life style, fashion, etc in Spanish. I don't really know any other youtubers in my area. I feel very much apart from the whole thing and a bit lost. I tried to be consistent uploading and put videos that I would like to see. I would love to collaborate with other youtubers in my same category but it is just hard. 😳
It would mean so much to me if you stop by. Thank you again for this video Alex! And I loved that you work with your husband. 😘
Thank you so much for making this video! This was very open and honest. I feel like a lot of times people are really closed off about how this job works and it is hard for people who are thinking about trying it out to get started with the proper information. I started my channel because I fell in love with this community and want to give back to it. At this point I am not completely comfortable with talking to camera, so I also stated a blog. I have been really enjoying that! Alex, I really agree with what you said about Instagram being so important! Another thing I do other than using hashtags is actually tagging the company in my post. It lets them know that I exist, and am interested in their product. More and more I have been getting a response from that. Good luck to everyone who is pursuing their dreams! It is a truly amazing thing! 💖
Alex, thank you so much for this video! It was super helpful. There is so much that goes into building a RUclips channel and I always am so thankful to get some advice from some of my favorite RUclipsr's! I love how dedicated you are to your channel, your hard work really shows in each video
I love that you don't keep everything a secret. It is so helpful for people starting their own channels, to hear how you are successfully running yours!
Idk why but I felt a little sad when you answered the question about How you got successful so quick. Totally ignoring the last 4 years of work. I really appreciate the details in this video and how you simplified it. I am still in the infant phrase of my channel even though I've had it for 3 years. I am now taking it a more serious. Thank you for this advice!
you're so real and raw and I love that you stay true to yourself and you're not just in it for the money, you're amazing Alex!
This video was so incredibly helpful! I wish I could have watched this in the first hour so you were available to answer questions! I just recently started my own channel and I really agree with you when you said that rather than focusing on absolute perfection, you should get yourself out there and try your best. I'm slowly realizing that my videos will most likely not go exactly as planned and you have to roll with it! Your channel is such an inspiration for me and I'm so glad you gave some behind the scenes because most influential content creators don't! Love your style, channel, and personality! ✿
I just started my own channel this week finally after months of thinking about it and I am so happy I just randomly ran across your channel tonight and saw this video. I loved watching it and hearing your opinion on things, thank you for answering all of those questions. You seem so great and relatable and I can not wait to watch a bunch more of your videos! :)
I love that you posted a video answering all of these detailed questions from your subscribers. I have never heard a RUclipsr go so in depth in these questions. So cool! I love watching your videos. Keep doing you :) and by the way, your wedding ring is GORGEOUS. my husband is upset I want a ring like that now☺️
Alex, I'm so happy for you and Michael him being able to work part time and working with you has to be awesome. You guys are so young and to able to do what you 2 are doing is great. My husband just retired and I love love having him home. He was in construction so no more worries where the job was concerned. You know I think you 2 are great. From the first time for me seeing Michael he just seemed so laid back and such a gentlemen and really was he's so sweet to you, and you can tell you 2 click. Really enjoyed this video. You will have to do a Q&A with you and Michael. Hope Colby is doing good. Thanks for all your work, oh and thanks for introducing Mallory she is a doll.
the best part of you tube is the interaction and actually find out hat you solved any problem for people. it feels like actual life and you feel like your life matters and what you have been blessed to learn makes someone happy!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!1
This was the first video of yours that I've watched (popped up on my home page), and you seem so lovely and genuine :) look forward to seeing more videos xx
Aweee I love it. This was probably one of the best videos on being a full-time RUclipsr. And I love your branding. :)
What a great video! I have to say when I started my channel almost a year ago I didn't realize how hard being a RUclipsr really is. Not that I expected it to be easy but I didn't think about all the hats you have to wear and what all goes into making a 15 minute video. At the same time, I started my beauty channel for 2 reasons.....I love people and I love makeup. Those two components parley into why I'm still making videos. My channel hasn't grown as quickly as I wish it would have and I don't have huge brands sending me free products, but that's not why I started my channel. If you start for the wrong reasons you can end up being very disappointed because you can't control how other people are going to receive you. Although this is not my full time job, my channel is something I love devoting the time and effort into and the reasons why I started my channel are the reasons why I know I'll be doing this for years to come!
Thank you for the great tips and encouragement. It felt like you were talking to me! I had started my channel 3 years ago and filmed a few videos but stopped myself. Just last week I decided I was just going to do it and I uploaded 2 new videos this week. I know I have a lot of work to do and things to improve like audio, lighting, branding, etc but I knew it was now or never. I can't improve if I never start.
Props to you Alex for being so open and honest. It helps make you seem more like a friend rather than just another person on RUclips.
Hey Lindsay! Thank you so much
Your new vlog channel link is broken, just thought I would let you know. Real great video, I don't do make up as I'm a dude :p But great advice on the light setup :) Only came for that but ended up watching the full video lol. You obviously work very hard. New to RUclips myself, I know how long editing can be. Keep it up
I seriously loved this video! Especially how you said that it's the saddest thing to see people stop themselves from doing something they love or challenges them and it really pumped me up! I loved seeing how u film and edit it just brought this glam fun video life to reality and it made me appreciate what you girls do. Thanks for thinking outside the box and getting personal love ya can't wait to watch more videos
Alex, I always leave a comment or try too! I watch other you tubers as well, but lately you have been killing it with the videos, like you said you have grown and it wasn't just over night! I've been watching RUclips for years, I love it, and I really think your doing a great job, and I know I'm not a RUclips but you can tell you put in a lot of effort, I love your passion for RUclips it's so cool, congrats to Michael and you on your journey of RUclips!
This is one of the best, most comprehensive videos from a RUclipsr I've seen. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, Alexandrea!
I've never seen your channel before and I have to say, I loved this video! It seems like you're totally and genuinely sincere with your channel and people. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the whole video and hearing you answer your fans and subscribers with sincerity. Kudos and keep on crushing it. Thanks for the video and advice!
Totally felt you on being your own worst critic. I began putting videos up in 2009 here and there, and most of them have never seen the light of day lol. It's mainly been from self criticism, but also because I've found it difficult to mesh all the different genres I like into one, like who'd wanna watch eccentric ol' me? But I think you're right, I just need to put myself out there, upload what I like, and hope for the best!
Great video chica and I'm happy I've found your videos!
Hey Alex! You are honestly one of my favorite youtubers! I have a channel as well but lately i've been in a funk. I get discouraged because I feel like my videos aren't as good as other youtubers who have a bigger space to film or better quality products to film with, but watching this video just helped me remember why I love filming youtube videos and it honestly raised my spirits once again to try to get myself out there and get noticed. This video was soo helpful xoxo
Getting to watch your youtube videos can literally turn my mood around and make me have a better day. I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you do and thank you for being the genuine person you are
I just wanted to thank you for making this video! I am on the brink of starting my channel and this was so helpful. Aside from all that, I wanted to send you some hugs to make up for any nasty comments that anyone has ever left. You're adorable. Don't listen to any of it. ;) Keep on making awesome videos!!
Even though this was two years ago, I just watched it for the first time and it was SO helpful. You have such an amazing, genuine personality. I recently started my channel so I'm definitely going to use all of these tips.
Alex, you are such an inspiration to me. I currently started college in my first year for International Business Management, and i love it, put i know that my passion is makeup. Your advice has given me the confidence to start my own channel and just like you said if you love it you will try to make time for it, which is what i want to do because it makes me happy watching videos and doing my makeup and helping others :) Thanks so much for your videos, xxo
