I would probably go crazy trying to figure out RUclips analytics. The lighting in this video is great, I'm very partial to green 😅 but I do think it brightens you up! The plant is absolutely beautiful 😍 I've been trying to run playlists to help with watch hours
Thanks so much for all your kind words, and for running playlists! It's working! My hours are going up. Even with last week being down from the week before, the overall trend was still up!
Thank you! I can't believe I've been able to keep him alive and thriving. I've even chopped him and propagated a new plant to add to the pot to fill it out. Turns out, now that I don't have tiny humans to keep alive, I actually DON'T have a black thumb. LOL
If you've ever struggled with what to talk about on RUclips, this video can help! If you are growing a YT channel, share you biggest success and your greatest challenge faced this week.
Hello! I loved the comment about coming to RUclips to hang out with a friend. That’s exactly what I do. One thing I would have loved to see on here is comparison shots. You talked a lot about changes you made with background and lighting, but I had to take your word for it. I feel like it would significantly increase the statement’s credibility if we could see it for ourselves with a before and after or side by side… and also add variety to the visual cadence. Thank you for your hard work 🎉🎉❤
Your explanation about the difference between chatting with friends and being in the teacher mode was very well said. Some people have a natural teaching gift and find RUclips is a way to express that. Any time something is a tutorial, a description, or an explanation, that mode seems appropriate. However when I think about make up, beauty, lifestyle etc, what I really want is just a friend to talk to, and I don't have any who care about those things in my real life. For example even in something like a beauty empties, I prefer when someone's style is like 'hey guys...this was really good stuff!" That person could hold PHD and have written a dissertation. But I prefer to hear everyday language that's fun and relaxing and not challenging. I hope that helps.
Another thing to mention to your viewers is that there are 3 Rules in making videos Audio, Clarity (video) and Esthetics. If they cant hear you they wont stay. If they can see clearly they wont stay. If the background is not pleasing to the Eye they wont stay. This has to do with distraction of the eye. And finally soooo many creators especially in sit down filming is creators tend to look in the view finder and Not Directly into the lense. This is distracting bcuz the viewer sees you looking to the side at yourself and not directly at them. Just a few of my additional thoughts. 😊
@beautybydez I used to kill plants too. Not sure what happened, but now I don't. Maybe I was just too busy with the kids to remember to take care of the plants. Lol
You are ON IT! It’s fun to learn so much and gain new skills! Colors are great, btw! In my room, my bedding colors are similar. Green white, and pink. Great choice!
Thanks! I loved the chill vibe of your last video. I haven't quite finished it, so haven't commented yet. Takes me a while to get through things sometimes, but I get there!
Hey Miss Tina! 👋 Shelby still makes me save all your RUclips Growth Journey videos. She still says shes going to be a MUA to the stars and a RUclips MUA. She watches ALL your videos, even these, but she says shes "not mature enough" to understand everything yet and wants to save them to "study" when she is. I am a believer in her and if she continues her interest in it, I have absolutely no doubt that she'll do it with love, humor, and finesse. Please tell your husband that I wish him a happy belated birthday & the next time you see your beautiful grandbaby, give her a hug and kiss from me. I still am finding these videos very interesting 🤔 and I'm not even thinking about having a channel. Tfs, for setting a wonderful example and for teaching my grands, and I'll see you again in a few minutes 🌈🌻🤗😘🥰
Oh my. I love this so much. This girl is going to do so much! My grandbaby took her first steps this week! So far I've only seen it on video, but I get to watch her on Saturday and I am so excited!!! Have a beautiful day!
Thanks! Yes I’m going to have fun with our channel - not interested in making Mr beast retention style videos ( not that there is anything wrong with that ) -
Another video I didn't comment on after I watched.. wth?? lol. I love this room Tina.. it's a beautiful backdrop for your videos. Love Mr. Monstera too!!
Thanks, Leanna. Sometimes, I'm watching when I can't comment, and then forget to go back, so no worries. It's 150 degrees outside again, so I may need to utilize the room again for a non-makeup video. LOL
I just made a video on my background lighting setup for my youtube videos and this video resonated with me in a lot of ways. Wish you lot of traction and growth. Hope all of us youtubers in 40 Plus category grow enough to share our life wisdom . Cheers!
I have a playlist called Midlife Musings! Not much there yet, but I plan to add more as I pivot just a tiny bit and add more than just makeup and beauty videos. Subbed as I love finding more over 40/50 creators to watch.
@@TinaHBeautifulJourney Thanks! I had subscribed to you as well yesterday when I commented as I love watching creators in 40+ age group . Love the way to break down the statistics and confidently talk while walking outside . Best wishes for your Midlife musings playlist to fill up and for you to achieve your RUclipsr goals 💐
Beautiful room Tina! Love the relaxing green and white vibe! Like I suggested before, with your acting background I'd like to know how studying your craft has assisted you in living your daily life. Particularly how to compartmentalize your feelings for a role. I have often wondered how actors do that, how do they get out of a bad day for a role? I think that would be so handy for real life! Also drawing upon your theater experience seems to tie in with your makeup channel since you use makeup for your characters. I really like your make up videos and particularly your panning videos. Thinking of and creating interesting content for a RUclips channel has to be one of the most challenging aspects of having one!
I have your idea on my list! Right now, with doing the challenge, I don't have as much space to do outside the box things. But I agree that talking about shifting into character is a valuable life skill! And I have done a few grwm's around roles I've had. I wish I'd had more time when I had the play where I started as a female Scottish shop manager, did a 20 second change as I was crossing backstage and came out the other side as the American mom of the main character, had a couple of scenes to change into a male doctor, complete with facial hair, and then returned in act 2 as the mom to finish out the play. THAT was fun!
Hi Tina! I love the background! I can relate to feeling constantly behind lately. I just can’t seem to get a batch of videos done and ready to go! You do give some good advice. Now if I can just implement it! Thanks Tina!😊
Oh my lord… i agree with the editing thing… I did the in and out editing on my last video, at someone’s suggestion, and I HATE IT! Trying to figure out if I can go back and take it out without taking down the video. 😂
All the yt editor let's you do is clip sections out. You can't change zooms or titles and such. You'd have to completely delete it and upload again re-edited.

Agreed!

This background is so so pretty…And that gorgeous monstera ❤
Thank you! He kind of is my pride and joy. Although I have a polka dot begonia named Betty who gives him a run for his money! LOL

Good suggestions! Thank you. Will definitely take that into account for future videos. Thanks for hanging out with me!

It helps so much! It's great to hear validation that I'm on the right track with my approach. I love geeking out over makeup with y'all!
Happy Birthday to your husband! 🎂
Thank you!! We had such a great day!
great video
Thanks so much!

Love your set up. Your plant friend is awesome! Great wall color choice too. Thank you for the youtube tips. 🤗❤️
Thanks, Missy. My youngest daughter selected the paint color. I was worried it might be too bright, but it's my favorite room in the house!
Wise words, Tina! And your plant is fab! I kill plants as soon as look at them 😱
@beautybydez I used to kill plants too. Not sure what happened, but now I don't. Maybe I was just too busy with the kids to remember to take care of the plants. Lol

Thank you for being here!
Been seen lots of new creators pop up and as I’m one too I’m glad
I'm glad you found me. Going to check out your channel too. And yes, I'm glad YT is showing newer creators more.
Thanks! Yes I’m going to have fun with our channel - not interested in making Mr beast retention style videos ( not that there is anything wrong with that ) -
