Thanks for the advice! 😁 It's hard to post sometimes because I feel I have to live up to my expectations and standards. I feel guilty when I don't live up to them. But it's all about the process, not the outcome! "Life is about the journey, not the destination."
"...sucked into the vortex of your backend..." Made me laugh but you're absolutely right about being focused on learning and improving. Thanks for the encouragement!
Haha I'm glad you laughed Laura! Sometimes we just can't take things so seriously, aye? And also - hello fellow voice actor! 🥰 So great to see you here! Hope you're well!
Have to agree with you Gemma. I started my channel several years ago and just made videos about building model kits. Something I did as a kid and figured I would do again later in life as a stress relief from work. Well it started off quite well and I got monetised and all that exciting stuff. Then life got in the way and I didn't do much with the channel for a few years. Fast forward now and I am retired and think I will kick start the channel again. Problem for me is I went into analysis paralysis. Thirteen million videos telling me what key factors I had to consider in my videos and how just making one about what I know was far to simplistic. So a month or so ago I looked at what worked and what people were still watching on my channel from years ago. Me as a teacher (my old day job) chatting to camera about what I was doing, because as a teacher thats kind of a skill you get good at. I had no plan, no niche, I just did videos on what I liked to do in the hobby and what I was exploring like new products for the hobby. Then your video came along and basically said the same thing. Be authentic and be you. Sure makes the day a lot simpler to plan. :) Cheers, Dan
Hi Dan! 😊Thank you for watching and leaving your comment - I enjoyed reading of your YT start, hobby and also career past. Truth reveal time - I had a peek at your channel and WOW you have really fun, interesting and well made videos! I find your videos quite calming and the vibe reminds me of art class (which I loved!). I collected a couple of egg plane models myself (both WWII), but I felt sad I never put them together so gave them away (years ago!) - wish I'd known of you then, I could've sent them Tassie way 😃 Thank you for sharing your creative adventures here. I hope you continue to create and have fun doing so.
I went in with the technical mind as you call it, and I had a depressing time. I plan on going back after 2+ years of not making videos and this time I just want to have fun.
I hear you CeeC! I also went down that track at certain points and realised I didn't get a 'kick' out of tick-boxing (it took the creative spirit out of things!) Curious to learn what videos you enjoy making in future 🙂 Thank you for leaving your comment and sharing here. Wishing you joyful adventures, whichever form they take!
😁 awwww yes! You're right. We need more goof! Hope you're well Wayne 😊 I need to paste myself with dog food and visit a puppy shelter. That would be an epic vid.
OH WOW I just searched goat yoga and that. is. a. thing! hahaha definitely something I'd do, although I doubt I'd do any yoga at all 😂 Don't wear anything that's tasty.
Thanks for watching Robert! I appreciate it 😊 I found Pixabay and Pexels to be helpful sites, and there are RUclips channels also offering copyright free videos too (Google search will bring these up!). Happy creating! 😊
Thank you so much! That was just the inspiration I needed right now. I am in the processes of creating my first video. I'm having fun but, boy, do I have a lot to learn! I will think of your pep talk as I continue the process.
Amazing! Thank you Julia for leaving your comment - I'm so happy you're starting and finding the fun in it 😃 I look forward to hearing how you go, if you're open to sharing here again. Thank you for watching and have a great weekend ahead! 😍
Hi OnboardingInformation! Thank you for watching - and also congrats on having a YT channel! I love that you share science & tech subjects - this area will only get bigger and there's a lot of change happening too! I hope you're enjoying creating. Have a great weekend 😊

Great content Gemma, may I ask were you get your videos from that you add to your content. Thanks so much
