  • Hey guys I wanted to make this video to help people. I get asked everyday advice about starting a channel and I wanted to give right truthful advice. RUclips is hard work, but if you are passionate I believe you can make it happen. I hope this video answered questions and most of all inspired. xo - Laura

    I'm new to making videos, The biggest problem I'm facing is getting the courage to promote it on instagram or Facebook, where ppl I actually know see me. I know some pretty mean and "judgey" people, how do you get past that shyness?

    • @LindsseyLew
      @LindsseyLew 7 лет назад +137

      I know you're not asking me lol but girl I had the same issue posting on my facebook and instagram but I finally did. I still feel a little awkward when I do it but I realized that a lot of my friends are actually into my videos and watch them regularly without me even realizing it. You just have to take the first step and do it! :)

    • @daynalien
      @daynalien 7 лет назад +38

      I feel the exact same way!! It's so scary putting yourself out there....I'm just sticking to RUclips until I feel courageous enough to post on IG.... Good luck sweetie!!!

      @KatieoftheNight 7 лет назад +40

      omg that's my problem too! when i started i was unsure - do i want to start from the ground up, or tell my friends and family what i'm doing? so far i've only told like one person i know.

    I literally want to cry watching this and yes, I know it’s an older video, but Laura, genuinely Thank You! I feel so passionate about all of this but I am so scared - so scared in fact, that I was hesitant to even search tutorials on doing this because I was so scared of making this real and actually being vulnerable. Listening to you talk and explain the process was such a blessing to me. Thank you so much!!

  • @ClarizMarielle

    I LOVE how honest this is. I am in that little transition right now, finishing paying off my Macbook this month. Constantly trying to improve. This is 100% worth it. I get the same weird reactions to people hearing what I do, but this is all I could ever ask for as a career. This is all that I want. Thank you for more inspiration.

  • @codebreakthrough

    As someone who has been doing RUclips for many years, you've hit a lot of great points and have encouraged me to keep pushing! Although I'm not much of a makeup channel, everything you're saying still holds true. RUclips has been one of the most hard and demanding things I've done, but the reward is amazing. I've struggled to stay consistent because I lost sight of my goals and my passion weakens. Thanks for helping me see clearly again! 🙂

    This is by far one of the best RUclips advice videos, I'm starting to post twice a week, but the only thing for me is figuring out what my channel is about. I'm just like you as far as personality I'm a crazy and goofy person and I want to show that, but I see myself doing more hair videos because that's what people like to see from me (based off my views) and by you saying don't let people run your channel that just inspired me to post what I want and if people don't like it and want to unsubscribe that's fine at least I know who my real "fans" are.

  • @rosaliedawn6535
    @rosaliedawn6535 5 лет назад

    I'm glad I clicked on this.. over the past week I've decided I'm probably gonna start a channel, granted it's not going to be beauty, it's going to be me opening up myself to the world about the 10+ years of abuse i lived through, how I got through it, and my healing journey. but my biggest reason Im still hesitating is that "fear of RUclips hate" so thank you for helping me realize it might not be as bad a I'm imagining.

    I've been doing RUclips a little over a year and this video is so true! Thank you for being so honest and real. I hope people who are thinking about starting a RUclips channel are able to find this video! Thank you for being so motivating. I started watching you around 100k on your regular channel and I'm so proud of how much your channel has grown. It is so crazy to hear how you only had 1,000 people in your first year I'm so glad you stuck with it!!!!!! Seeing this and how much content you put up is def making me want to try and start uploading more each week! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ sorry for the long comment this video just really spoke to me! Love ya girl 💄

  • @Cgaraguso
    @Cgaraguso 6 лет назад

    Thank you for this video. This is probably the most informative one I’ve watched yet. I’m about 2 weeks in, definitely growing slower than I’d like, but your experience of 1000 subscribers in 12 months when u started, to where u are now, was definitely a little motivation. Thank you ❤️

  • @LaceyElizabeth
    @LaceyElizabeth 6 лет назад

    I love RUclips so much. It’s genuinely my passion and I’m uploading regularly and love my content! It’s hard not seeing an audience grow. But starting my RUclips channel was the best thing that ever happened to me. I love being creative. I hate when people are like “oh you just want to be famous and get attention” like actually no, I love having an audience because it’s a COMMUNITY. It’s people that have joined your life with you and are on board for whatever you do! ❤️

    Totally agree I started my channel 6 years ago when no one was on RUclips now I wish I didn't pick makeup by...
    RUclips takes a lot of time and hard with and not everyone makes it so don't be too hard on yourself guys enjoy it that's the main thing x

    Thank you for being so open. I only see the polished side of the videos, so I thought I had to get it right from the get-go, which is paralyzing. I’ve been on the fence for so long about putting my goofy self out there. I’m a Realtor and most people in real estate are stuffy and create stuffy content. I want to help people and make it fun in the process. I’m so freakin’ awkward on camera and that has stopped me. Your advice helped me see that it’s a process and it will evolve as time goes on.

    I totally get this. I'm a mom of 3 and full time worker and I've been doing RUclips for 2 years. I am almost at 5k subs. So I'm growing really slow lol. People in my real life ask me all the time why I still do it. I tell them it's because I do this for me! This is something that I get to have for myself since my job and my kids take up all of my other time. Lol it's just something that I love and that's why I do it! 😊

I started making inventions too. Every thing started after I opened the RUclips channel not even knowing that I started a Channel or even knowing much about. I didn't watch a lot of You Tube before. Shalom and blessings! Have a great and blessed day! Amen Hallelujah! Shalom! GBY!

      My family thought it was weird at first too and they didn't understand why I wanted to do it. Now they are on board. I don't think I would be able to record around them. But they do watch my videos and then talk to me about them and give me advice on things I can do to make it better for the next video.

    • @Krystal9991
      @Krystal9991 7 лет назад +4

      I've been doing youtube for over 2 yrs now and my biggest difficulty is being consistent! With juggling school, and my mother keep telling me to get a "real" job (because she thinks this is just a hobby I like to do) It's hard to keep motivated. But Im working on it though because I know making videos is something I love to do and I see myself doing this for a long time.

    my biggest thing was getting over the fact that eventually people from school would find my youtube channel, and when it finally did happen it was the most awkward thing ever and i literally wanted to go home that night and delete my channel- that was 2 months ago and i’m so glad that i didn’t delete my channel. i hated thinking that kids from my school saw my videos but i didn’t want that to stop me and now i’m comfortable talking about my channel at school and i’m so glad that i gained that confidence!!

    I know you probably won’t see this, but I just want to say THANK YOU. Thank you thank you thank you! For filming this, because of this video I finally took the leap I’ve been wanting to take for the absolute longest. I started my own beauty channel. & honestly there was no awkwardness for me behind the camera or to sit there & film & upload. Now I’ve only done 3, but I’ve been uploading lately every other day. But I just wanted to say thank you Laura, for getting me to take the jump that I’ve been wanting to do for so long. I’ve always been passionate about make up but just got really serious about it, almost a year & a half ago. So thank you again, so much.

    This was great! It's so funny because I literally just had someone tell me I have a big nose yesterday on my Too Faced x Nikkie Tutorials 1st impression. My channel is starting to finally grow and the haters are trickling in but I👏🏾DON'T👏🏾CARE!👏🏾. RUclips is my passion and I cannot WAIT to turn it into my full time job. You are amazing, Laura!

I devote my extra time filling in surveys and I earned $256 the other day. Explore the website.. *LIVEONLINEJOB. COM*

      LiveLifeQueenSize as long as you do it because you enjoy it then it’s well worth it, I reached my goal of 100 subs by end of 2017 and that has continued to show me how worthwhile it is. All the best, I can see you sub count is doing well also!

    I appreciate this video so much because I am just starting out on RUclips and all these worries run through my head regarding hate/people won't like my content/don't have a lot of makeup because I want to grow in the beauty area. But I've come to realise that being yourself is super important because no-one else can copy your personality and it makes your channel/videos unique! Just having that little extra support from big youtuber's for the smaller youtuber's really helps :) Love you Laura! xoxo

    all of this advice is so spot on!

I'm still a little shy about telling my co-teachers at my school I do youtube but I know one day they'll figure it out. Hopefully I'll be ready for the questions at that time.
