RUclips really isn't for the faint of heart. The amount of self doubt, imposter syndrome and feelings to quit have never been more prominent after a year of doing this grind. I recently hit 100 subscribers and I'm proud of the achievement. There's only 2 options so I wish everyone the best and keep pushing. This WILL become something. I believe in you
Thank you so much for your kind comment. And, congratulations on hitting 100!! That is no small feat - I know this for sure and you deserve some recognition for your hard work. I believe in you as well! Please keep us updated on your journey. Share your channel here and I'm happy to support!
Your video is really a breath of fresh air! It seems like everyone who talks about "RUclips is hard" has a million odd subscribers and has already made it. I've recently posted my first video for my business channel, it took me way longer than I ever expected, and my perfectionism stopped me many time. In the end after talking to some mentors, the consensus was that we are each our own worst critics and people will judge us whether they like or hate what we produce. Thank you for being open, honest and real. By the end of your video, I think you've found your niche: you, being you 😊 20 years ago, reality TV was all that, these days I feel it's more interesting peeking into the life of someone who isn't a celebrity and is just doing "normal stuff" and talking about it. We can all learn from each other and in a world which feels more and more superficial each year, it's great to see some people who are being themselves. I've subscribed and look forward to following you journey. Glad I've found you before you become a celebrity 👌💫
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! I appreciate your support and your perspective. Thanks also for subbing and watching. I hope to continue shoring up as me no matter how far I get on this journey.
This video is a testament to why we should all just post a RUclips video already. Hearing her share her emotions, and inner thoughts that many of us watching can relate to was very inspiring and motivating. We're so scared of posting an imperfect, embarassing video but yet it's that exact unpolished piece of digital bravery that would provide so much value to others just by it's mere existence. I literally almost (lol) visualized myself actually going through with posting my first video (gulp). I subscribed, and look forward to seeing you grow Jen!
I’m a new RUclipsr just randomly came across your channel. Thank you for your authenticity. Just subscribed as well. I’m with you girl on doing this thing together along the way!
I'm finding a lot of what you're saying, very relevant to me. I feel I've been gearing up to start this journey for a long time, and now I've started it. It feels just so right. I started in one niche and have niched down. I am much happier.
To all of my 58 subscribers. THANKS a Lot!! I appreciate you and I'm gonna keep improving for y'all and me 🥰🙌 Today feels tough, but I’m leaving this comment as a future reminder that I stayed strong. I wish everyone all the best, and never stop believing. God Bless 💪
A lot of these RUclips advice channels will try and tell you how easy being a RUclipsr is, but it's not easy at all. Especially in the beginning. My days are filled with so many late nights and early mornings because I still have to work a job while doing RUclips. I barely sleep, and I always feel drained. At the same time, there's no better feeling than living out your dream. Just make sure you are passionate about whatever it is you decide to do on RUclips because that is what's going to keep you going when times get hard, and in the end it'll all be worth it.
the TRUTH!! Thank you so much for the encouragement - what's up with people telling us it's going to be easy? It's been SO challenging but it definitely feels worth it. I do have to keep that in mind that I keep it about what I'm passionate about - because the burnout is what I'm actively working on avoiding. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey there! I am 42 and I have a RUclips channel where I talk about and teach retro horror. I was nicheless for a while and was at 189 subscribers. I'm learning and a year later I I'm at about 400 subscribers! I'm so proud of how far I've come and I can only go up from here!
I’m glad I came across your video! I’m a new YTber and I feel like it’s a push and pull! I’m niche-less on YT and it really is weird but I think it’s okay to not know exactly what you want to do I decided to embrace it. So every video is something new. I decided if I find something I want to hone on in then I will but for now just have FUN! (I’m the editor for my channel lol I feel you) -Camii
Thanks so much for your comment! I feel comforted by what you said - deciding to embrace being niche-less on YT. The just have FUN part is SO REAL - if I don't focus on the fun I ALWAYS burn myself out, and I'm not about that life anymore LOL. Hope you have the best time on your journey! Share your channel here so I can follow!
I can’t tell you how helpful your content is, I am on this rollercoaster myself and trying to find my niche and builds connection too. Building the coaching business and trying to perform when I’m not feeling that is so hard! 😅
Thanks so much for your lovely comment and for watching the video. Are you building a coaching business as you're building your YT channel? The performing is what really got me when I was doing the same (more on Facebook though, not here on YT). I love hearing that we're on the roller coaster together. Please share your channel, I'm happy to support your journey too!
@@jennavarx thank you, sent you a message on IG. I performed too long on FB and made a bunch of disjointed content not leading anywhere as I’m building my coaching business and using RUclips to establish authority and gain clients to help. You are SO not alone. I just came back from VidSummit and there were so many creators with millions of subs that still feel this same way!
Hey, I’m not in a place to give direct advice, but I’d like to share some thoughts that might be helpful. It could be worth reevaluating your channel strategy. Is it based on your identity, or are you focusing on your audience? A strategy focused on the audience can be easier to navigate. Try defining who your audience is, and look into the problems they’re facing. For example, if your audience is students, many struggle with procrastination. You could create content exploring solutions for that, or document your own journey testing strategies and sharing the results. Once you identify their pain points, start posting consistently-maybe one valuable video per week, or two if possible-for the next 3-4 months. Over time, if you find a solution that works, you can even turn it into a freebie to start building an email list. Keep going, stay focused, and good luck! ;)
Thanks so much for the suggestion! I hadn't thought about either basing the topics around my identity or focusing on the audience. I will definitely give that some thought and see what creative ideas I can come up with from considering what problems my audience might be facing.
@@jennavarx You're very welcome! Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing how your channel grows in the coming months. I'm sure it will take off! ;)
It is really hard. We often start thinking that we are going to crush it. The shock that follows slaps hard. We soon realize that to succeed, we need to allocate extra time, extra effort... Basically, we cannot win while sleeping. Keep going.
The first 3 videos i uploaded was in 2009 then life happened then 1 month later i started where i left off and am now on 990 subscribers and yip im well over 40. So who ever sees this NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR RUclips DREAM...!!!!
Hey Jen, as a longtime creator who’s using a lot of his spare time to work on developing what I’m hoping will be a solid future on RUclips, keep at it. Keep experimenting. Make each video a bit better than the last. Different footage. Music that’s meaningful to you. A mic you don’t have to hold so you can be as expressive as possible. You’ll figure it out. Keep giving it time!
This is great advice! I especially like the suggestion to keep experimenting, and making each video a bit better than the last. As a brand new RUclipsr, I’m glad I read your comment.
Thank you, @@Approaching60! It's important to remember that there's no such thing as a bad video if they help you grow to where you're ultimately trying to go! It's one of the biggest journeys that the internet has to offer!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I love what you're saying about keep experimenting and making each video a bit better than the last. @approaching60 - I'm grateful for this comment as well. Great tips - I will definitely take the advice @caseypalmer!
I finally hit 100 subs!!!! I am so promise of myself cause this is my 5th channel or so. Shit is hard but so fun and freeing in other ways.❤❤❤ and I’m watching ur channel at 222 subs for u and that’s my second 222 sign today and it was while editing my video so that is such a great sign for me
It’s such a rollercoaster- I wanted to start a RUclips channel for years…like at least 4-5 years and it was just this year that I decided to go for it. I get it…it’s hard. Keep going!
❤everything about this video. Very well done Jen. I think so much of what you're saying is so very relatable to so many who are either just starting out or are too scared to start. I'm over 40, and an over-thinker and I was stuck for 2 months before I finally started. For anyone out there too stuck in their heads to start, there is no better time than now and "done is better than perfect". Being real and yourself is a super-power. Not many people can do it or choose to do it. I am personally still struggling with finding my real voice and having candid conversations like the one you just had with us. I think I still come off too scripted and I'd like to be more relatable. Lean into this, because people need it, I certainly do :D And kudos to you for being brave and vulnerable. It's not an easy feat, and to anyone that might leave you negative comments, they can simply go f themselves. Thank you Jen.
Starting over is tough, especially when the new direction is public like this. I’ll say this, no one I know watches my stuff (except people I send a video to for critique) . I’ve launched several company social and RUclips channels very successfully, doing your own is a bigger challenge and the desire to be better than other beginners because of experience is the actual impediment. I’m putting out my second scripted video… it’s taken almost 14 months to do so ( my first I wrote and shot I about an hour and it’s got a few views) I’m here to see which path aligns with you
Great video. What you talked about is sooo relatable! I’ve only just started my channel and am coming across many of the thoughts you share in your video. The emotional rollercoaster is real. I love your perspective and appreciate all that you’ve shared here.💕
Thank you for sharing your journey. I’m also starting out on my YT journey, I have not set-up my channel yet but will within the next couple of weeks. I’m probably going to start out faceless as I have little control over my environment at the moment. It will be a craft/art channel starting out as easy and resourceful craft projects as I am naturally interested in this topic and I noticed one of the main things holding me back from crafting/art was the price tag associated with it. Another thing that I struggle with is putting myself out there authenticly while maintaining my privacy. I feel like that will not be as much of a concern with the faceless craft/art channel. Ultimate goal is to have multiple channels or one multifaceted channel and posting only when I feel inspired to do so and feel like I have value to provide because I have no interest in posting to satisfy an algorithm as I see so many content creators doing.
🗣️🗣️🗣️ “the emotional rollercoaster of being online” 😮💨 sooo relatable. Thank you for showing up authentically, it makes it feel safer for me to do it too 🫶
@@HealisticReserve feeling safe to post is a major road opener for me - no more gaslighting myself into thinking I need to show up as anything other than ME. 🙌🏽
Just started my own podcast (Notes & Quotes) and I'm managing everything! I'm the host, the producer, the digital market and I manage the instagram, RUclips and tiktok haha. So yes I know it is hard but the key is consistency and remembering why you do what you do. Why did you want to do it in the first place and if you stick with it long enough success starts to show. So you are not alone at all and something made me click on oyur video and like it so you must be doing something right!
Love the name of your podcast!! Thanks for sharing- it’s so easy to feel alone in this journey where we are literally doing everything and in the beginning we get little to no return. I’ll go checkout your podcast!!
Hey, i Feel everything you saying. I just turned 36 2days ago and i needed to hear this. I probably had about over 4 channels before over a period of 4 years and deleted them all because nothing felt right, didnt feel like me, the topics, the content etc i was just following everyone else, but this year i started up again and this time feels like it was the right time because i feel so much more different, my vision, my reasons and im still struggling to find my niche as well even though i dont want a niche because i do allot and want to do so much more. But i realised whatever i do i want to make sure that there is a positive message with all the content i create and i think thats a good step in the right direction. You are so real and I love that, i too dont want to be another fake youtuber wanting attention its so much harder to be fake and keep that up than to just be authentically you but it is a work in progress. Im extremely small 25 subscribers but i hope to my 25 people that i am touching your hearts in many ways, thats all i can ask for.
Having your niche is everything if you actually want views. I shot a video this past weekend and it had no direction at all but i still filmed until i could figure out what the purpose was. When it finally hit me i took the random clips and then shot 7 additional scenes to fill it out to make it cohesive. I used to just pick up the camera and shoot and then release. Now i shoot and then figure out what value the video provides and who i can send it to or i don’t put it out. Not because there’s no value in getting things done but because i actually want people to get something out of it so they have to be able to find it. Great video!
I am right with you on sticking with it, with the intent of being trustworthy- keeping the promise to myself. I did the same thing this year with making a habit of working out, after over 40 years of just not being a person who likes to exercise. :) And now I'm working to do it with my RUclips channel.
@@jennavarx The RUclips journey is definitely a roller coaster ride. Hard to want to keep going when you're at the low parts, but I'm doing my best to just push through. It's nice to hear stories like yours that give some hope. :)
No doubt it is hard. I unfortunately walked away several years ago due to health issues. Now returning to YT and reconnected to the love of editing videos. It’s figuring out what to record...and what is my niche. I decided to just leave it open for now. :) Thanks for the video and posting it! ❤️
@@TheCaviarLife Thanks so much for your kind comment and for watching and subscribing ☺ I truly appreciate the support. I don't even know if I said it in this video, but I walked away from social media and content in 2022 due to a lot of personal things happening in my life. I'm happy to be back in the game with you! Please share your channel - I'm happy to support you on your journey!
Love to hear it! Wishing you the best luck with the journey. And, just a little tip - some people actually have an easier time with longer form content than short! Is that you? I find it's when we have a lot to say and have a hard time cutting it short! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment too!
@@jennavarx it’s that I think that talking for 15 minutes is too much. But, I have to give it a try. I have done RUclips videos before and loved the experience. This time, like you, I want it to really work so maybe I’m overthinking a bit more.
@@FranMerchan I am a chronic over thinker! I totally hear you on this one. ❤ I am also an oversharer so this helps me out a bit with longer form content lol
I haven’t started yet, but the desire to start has been burning in me for years now. I just keep putting it off and waiting until I’m “ready”. But it’s time. Following ❤️👏🏽
It’s funny how this works. I keep hearing that there’s someone out there who wants to hear what you have to say. And I think this video was that for me. I keep thinking about it. Taking notes. Saving stuff. Getting that little extra gadget, but it’s intimidating. There’s one question that pop up in my head while listening to the bit about professionalism and being vulnerable. I think being vulnerable is the way to go today, but what about tomorrow? I apply for a private job and all this info is out there about me. There’s so much I want to talk about! What are your thoughts?
Hey! I love this comment, thanks so much for watching and bringing up this conversation. I've had that thought so many times about potentially applying for jobs and having all this info available on the internet about me. I currently have a job where I work with content creation and teaching social media strategy to entrepreneurs for a marketing agency. I feel lucky with this job tbh. My boss actually encourages me to post and grow my social media accounts and I hadn't had the guts to really do it until now. I think what I will do is shoot for my biggest dream/goal - I do want to be a full time creator (hard/vulnerable for me to admit!) so if for some reason this job doesn't work out for me, I would seek something like it in the future. Do you currently have a job? Are you working on growing your RUclips too?
@@jennavarx how cool that your boss is cheering you on! I currently do have a corporate job online. My situation will be changing in the upcoming months and I really want to take it as an opportunity to try something more personal and creative. I’ve been jumping from job to job, form industry to industry since I got out of college and I think is time to dare. Lol.
Good for you to go for it! I just staterd to and it's really scary. I am very self-concious and perfectionist. Watching new youtubers inspires me. So Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts🥰
I stumbled across your channel, and i totally understand what you're going through. I have watched and followed many and seen them grow, and just to let you know that your on the right track. Just be yourself, as your niche is already started to shine through ✨️ Look in the mirror and smile back to yourself and high-five yourself and remind yourself why you're on this journey.
Thank you for sharing this honest video of struggles. I can relate to everything you said. I find myself hiding behind editing. I also find myself getting exhausted unconsciously putting on a performance for the camera. These are two areas I am working on. Putting yourself out there online is a journey - I am reminding myself to celebrate the very small wins and just move forward. If not for anyone else, but to keep a commitment to myself and my childhood self
I feel like you're telling my story. You are so relatable. I did the makeup thing, struggled to make it look like all the other "gurus" so I gave up. I'm a tech junkie as well. I have a ton of cameras, mics, software etc. I've still been investing even though I didn't post. It's like I've been waiting for it my whole life. Love your content and am super happy I found you!
Thanks for the video. You have done something right because youtube pushed your video on my screen 👍 I am also quite new here. Started about a year ago. Been doing mostly videos about our dog, have about 900 susbscribers, happy for each and everyone of them 😊 I have been thinking about maybe start doing some talking head videos, but getting in front of the camera is a little bit scary, especially when english is not my first language. Keep pushing, hoping to see you grow. At least you have one more subscriber from Finland now 😇👍
Focus more on talking head videos with less editing. What you say is much more valuable. Plus, you can churn more that way. Your personality and what you say will love watching your videos. Keep at it.
I started in 2010 and I still feel the way you do. I feel like 14years later I’m starting over because the algorithm, my audience and my contents changed so much in that time.. so it’s never too late and you may have started back then and still be here now ♥️
You sound a lot like me :-) getting started is my problem, had so many false starts, I joined youtube in October.....october 2006! and have stopped and started since then ..... have decided to relive my life in my channel and instead of a book its going to be my youtube channel, I'm 67 now. and have had 57 different jobs... and never been fired ! or had a leaving party! Back in my childhood ADHD and dyslyxia did not exist, Add to these Diabeties type 2 and dementure or that old timers disease :-). But these are all but bumps in the road... Keep on keeping on and we'll get there in the end!
I think you did a wonderful job at connecting with us on a personal level in this video. I've only seen this one so far, but I think you are doing great!
Yes it is but keep it up and you will reach your goals on RUclips I started posting in 2019 and I’ve only just reached 1k subscribers in 2024 no matter what there will always be supporting people for whatever your going to post on your RUclips channel … I’ll be honest til lithos day I still don’t know how to edit 😅
Wow, thanks so much for the encouragement, and thanks for your honesty! Congrats on 1k - guaranteed I will throw myself a party as soon as I hit 1k lol. Editing got easier for me once I figured out Descript - have you ever tried it?
Hi Jen, thank you for this video and being so open about your journey. I am starting this RUclips journey and have done so much research just to start. Your video has been a breath of fresh air and sparked something inside of me just to start so Thank you. Keep shining.
This could have easily been pulled from one of my journal entries about same, same topic, accompanied by the same "challenges", almost verbatim.😂😳 Thank you so much. It resonates.
I'm just starting to learn what starting a new channel might be about. I'm still at that stage where I haven't made the first video and need to test a mic. Those challenges you're talking of are yet to come but I'm learning what I'll have to prepare for
I saw your video come up on my recommended… so glad I did because it’s very relatable. Sometimes it’s just very validating to see others are thinking / struggling / working on the same things. Thanks so much for sharing.💕You’ve got this! 🙌
Thanks for this video. I have decided to do a few lives about starting a RUclips channel. Side note , I use a cell phone at the moment as well. I did niche down as well. RUclips is not easy but it’s worth it.
I’m so happy that you are taking the courage to get back on YT! You are going to be amazing! Even tho most of the time starting can be challenging but my advice to you is to just stay consistent making videos that you like and enjoy and you will discover your niche. There’s power in Quantity over Quality. I wish you the best on your Journey! Have fun!😁
Hi! So glad your video got recommended, I started my yt channel about 3 months ago and I don‘t know what my niche is either. I‘m focusing on mental health right now but I‘m also an artist and I‘m constantly scared that people will unfollow cause of the variety of interests I have and I feel like my channel is not cohesive
Tbh, I have the same fear. I want to make vlogs of my life here in the city and I’m afraid people will hate it 😅. Thanks for sharing and for watching ❤
I subscribed. I just started my own channel as well. It's too time consuming to edit. I want to focus more on making low-edits talking head video. Great job and persistence is key! Thanks for the video.
Looks like you are already doing fine. All you need to do is stay focused and accept constructive comments but there will be some who will want to go down with you. Rhe journey is hard, very very hard especially when you commit your time to produce great content and get very few views.
Niche down or you yourself become the niche, so the algorithm doesn’t get a concussion, but if you have multiple interests, make different accounts. Also, do it for fun. The sec u take this RUclips game serious, you’ll burnout to levels that are incompressible. Keep doing long form content tho, good luck on ur journey 🙌🏾
I just started after watching videos for 6 months. Then I just created a channel last month and now uploaded my 4th video couple days ago. Let’s goooo!!
I started posting a few months ago, fulfilling something I wanted to do in 2011. I didn't pick up the camera until a couple years ago, posting sporadically. I made it up in my mind to try to post one video a week at the age of 42 with a kid and a full-time job
Soooooooooooooo hard oh my goodness. Love your content, also over 40 (42) to be exact. You are beautiful, and so charming. This whole RUclips thing is difficult but very rewarding and getting easier week by week.
Hey Jen, awesome video, thank you for sharing. You’ve given me lots of inspiration. I’m going to follow your lead and share my authentic story today on my channel. Thank you 🙏
I really struggle a lot with overthinking too. Just kinda comes with a creative mind. I stopped doing RUclips. It's just way too time consuming and I wasn't getting a whole lot out of it. I shifted into Pinterest and enjoying it a lot better but realizing that no matter WHAT you start online, it's gonna take a very long time to grow an audience. In most cases. And if you don't have an audience then you ain't gettin sales. If you want to make money fast, get an actual job that pays hourly. Online business is not for everyone.
New RUclipsr here. It’s definitely harder than it looks , but you definitely have to have your heart in it to stay moving. Good luck on your channel, subcribed!
Yes I filmed a video for my new teacher channel. Edited part one LAST MONTH. Haven’t gone back to edit part 2. 😢 I now have 18 videos planned so truly hoping I will just do it.
Tbh with you I have a hard time sticking to your video because you take ages to get to your point. I think, ytb is about good storytelling and grasping people’s attention. If you wanna grow, maybe work on this. Nowadays people have short attention span especially because of short type content, so it takes more mental energy to stick on your videos and actually be focused. I hope this will help for your future creation. Best of luck.
I restarted my channel this year too! I can understand each word you are saying . I am just trying to be consist send improve on my videos But doing everything alone is soo hard 😢
Starting your channel can be really tough if you don't plan everything ahead. I knew I couldn't afford to waste months trying to get noticed by just a handful of people. Instead of spending months to get few hundred subscribers, I found how to get organic growth immediately (I am using a lot of Famester of course). Ever since I started using this tool, my channel blew up and I realized that people tend to focus on numbers when searching for content. Having a low subscriber count often means being overlooked, even if your content is top-notch...
Perhaps you need to be consistent. I saw you have a short from Jan 2023. And just videos all over the place just like me. Try posting 5days a week for 4 weeks straight and see how much better your channel will improve. I do not like editing, but i want the skill so i am doing it myself and after posting randomly every couple of months in the past few years. I decided 2 weeks ago to do a challenge and post 5days a week for 4 weeks straight because many people are doing that to kickstart their channel and get to monetization stage first then set a schedule for themselves to post 2-3 days a week.
Thanks so much for the suggestion! Yes you're right - my videos have been all over the place! I did give posting every day a try back in January 2023 and unfortunately it was too much for me. I'm giving 3 videos per week a try. Hopefully I can stay consistent with it, I know that consistency is my biggest downfall so this time around I'm committed and going all in! Good luck to you on your journey! Would love to hear back about how doing 5 days a week works - let us know!
I watch you because you seem genuine,a little insecure and pretty. But don't get crazy about your channel going through the roof. How's Mexico? Hi from Brooklyn 🤟
I think its funny when your niche is kinda decided for you. I wanted to do car tips in general, but then I posted videos about my car and those did 10X better, so I guess is gonna be videos about my car then 😅
RUclips really isn't for the faint of heart. The amount of self doubt, imposter syndrome and feelings to quit have never been more prominent after a year of doing this grind. I recently hit 100 subscribers and I'm proud of the achievement. There's only 2 options so I wish everyone the best and keep pushing. This WILL become something. I believe in you
Thank you so much for your kind comment. And, congratulations on hitting 100!! That is no small feat - I know this for sure and you deserve some recognition for your hard work. I believe in you as well! Please keep us updated on your journey. Share your channel here and I'm happy to support!
I have been obsessing over my feelings of imposter syndrome for the last few months. I can’t even get started!
💯True
Congratulations and this was a great comment 😊
@@renatarattlesnake Thank You :)
Your video is really a breath of fresh air!
It seems like everyone who talks about "RUclips is hard" has a million odd subscribers and has already made it.
I've recently posted my first video for my business channel, it took me way longer than I ever expected, and my perfectionism stopped me many time.
In the end after talking to some mentors, the consensus was that we are each our own worst critics and people will judge us whether they like or hate what we produce.
Thank you for being open, honest and real. By the end of your video, I think you've found your niche: you, being you 😊
20 years ago, reality TV was all that, these days I feel it's more interesting peeking into the life of someone who isn't a celebrity and is just doing "normal stuff" and talking about it.
We can all learn from each other and in a world which feels more and more superficial each year, it's great to see some people who are being themselves.
I've subscribed and look forward to following you journey. Glad I've found you before you become a celebrity 👌💫
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! I appreciate your support and your perspective. Thanks also for subbing and watching. I hope to continue shoring up as me no matter how far I get on this journey.

I’m a new RUclipsr just randomly came across your channel. Thank you for your authenticity. Just subscribed as well. I’m with you girl on doing this thing together along the way!
I'm finding a lot of what you're saying, very relevant to me. I feel I've been gearing up to start this journey for a long time, and now I've started it. It feels just so right. I started in one niche and have niched down. I am much happier.
To all of my 58 subscribers. THANKS a Lot!! I appreciate you and I'm gonna keep improving for y'all and me 🥰🙌 Today feels tough, but I’m leaving this comment as a future reminder that I stayed strong.
I wish everyone all the best, and never stop believing. God Bless 💪
@@thetraveltitan thank you for the comment and I’m happy to witness your strength today 🫶🏽
A lot of these RUclips advice channels will try and tell you how easy being a RUclipsr is, but it's not easy at all. Especially in the beginning. My days are filled with so many late nights and early mornings because I still have to work a job while doing RUclips. I barely sleep, and I always feel drained. At the same time, there's no better feeling than living out your dream. Just make sure you are passionate about whatever it is you decide to do on RUclips because that is what's going to keep you going when times get hard, and in the end it'll all be worth it.
the TRUTH!! Thank you so much for the encouragement - what's up with people telling us it's going to be easy? It's been SO challenging but it definitely feels worth it. I do have to keep that in mind that I keep it about what I'm passionate about - because the burnout is what I'm actively working on avoiding. Thanks for watching and commenting!
For this comment I will subscribe to your channel now
@@apollosmartyn thank you
Hey there! I am 42 and I have a RUclips channel where I talk about and teach retro horror. I was nicheless for a while and was at 189 subscribers. I'm learning and a year later I I'm at about 400 subscribers! I'm so proud of how far I've come and I can only go up from here!
I’m glad I came across your video! I’m a new YTber and I feel like it’s a push and pull! I’m niche-less on YT and it really is weird but I think it’s okay to not know exactly what you want to do I decided to embrace it. So every video is something new. I decided if I find something I want to hone on in then I will but for now just have FUN! (I’m the editor for my channel lol I feel you) -Camii
Thanks so much for your comment! I feel comforted by what you said - deciding to embrace being niche-less on YT. The just have FUN part is SO REAL - if I don't focus on the fun I ALWAYS burn myself out, and I'm not about that life anymore LOL. Hope you have the best time on your journey! Share your channel here so I can follow!
I agree 👍 💯
I can’t tell you how helpful your content is, I am on this rollercoaster myself and trying to find my niche and builds connection too.
Building the coaching business and trying to perform when I’m not feeling that is so hard! 😅
Thanks so much for your lovely comment and for watching the video. Are you building a coaching business as you're building your YT channel? The performing is what really got me when I was doing the same (more on Facebook though, not here on YT). I love hearing that we're on the roller coaster together. Please share your channel, I'm happy to support your journey too!
@@jennavarx thank you, sent you a message on IG. I performed too long on FB and made a bunch of disjointed content not leading anywhere as I’m building my coaching business and using RUclips to establish authority and gain clients to help.
You are SO not alone. I just came back from VidSummit and there were so many creators with millions of subs that still feel this same way!
Keep moving 💯
Hey, I’m not in a place to give direct advice, but I’d like to share some thoughts that might be helpful. It could be worth reevaluating your channel strategy. Is it based on your identity, or are you focusing on your audience? A strategy focused on the audience can be easier to navigate. Try defining who your audience is, and look into the problems they’re facing. For example, if your audience is students, many struggle with procrastination. You could create content exploring solutions for that, or document your own journey testing strategies and sharing the results.
Once you identify their pain points, start posting consistently-maybe one valuable video per week, or two if possible-for the next 3-4 months. Over time, if you find a solution that works, you can even turn it into a freebie to start building an email list. Keep going, stay focused, and good luck! ;)
Thanks so much for the suggestion! I hadn't thought about either basing the topics around my identity or focusing on the audience. I will definitely give that some thought and see what creative ideas I can come up with from considering what problems my audience might be facing.
@@jennavarx You're very welcome! Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing how your channel grows in the coming months. I'm sure it will take off! ;)
I mean...the conditioning we have is a GOOD thing.
One of the best things I got out of my RUclips journey was being natural on camera.
It is really hard. We often start thinking that we are going to crush it. The shock that follows slaps hard. We soon realize that to succeed, we need to allocate extra time, extra effort... Basically, we cannot win while sleeping. Keep going.
I’m also a new RUclipsr and I don’t really know my niche. Let’s work together and grow our community
YESSSS please! What are your videos mostly about? Share your channel here - I'm happy to follow!
❤
@@jennavarx Pls mee tooo!!!
Me too don't have a niche. Let's connect.
The first 3 videos i uploaded was in 2009 then life happened then 1 month later i started where i left off and am now on 990 subscribers and yip im well over 40. So who ever sees this NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR RUclips DREAM...!!!!
So happy to hear you’ve come back!! Glad to be on this journey with you
It really is! ❤️
Yes so true!
I'm a new RUclipsr as well. This video really resonated with me.
Thanks so much! How long have you been creating content on YT? Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey Jen, as a longtime creator who’s using a lot of his spare time to work on developing what I’m hoping will be a solid future on RUclips, keep at it. Keep experimenting. Make each video a bit better than the last. Different footage. Music that’s meaningful to you. A mic you don’t have to hold so you can be as expressive as possible. You’ll figure it out. Keep giving it time!
This is great advice! I especially like the suggestion to keep experimenting, and making each video a bit better than the last. As a brand new RUclipsr, I’m glad I read your comment.
Thank you, @@Approaching60! It's important to remember that there's no such thing as a bad video if they help you grow to where you're ultimately trying to go! It's one of the biggest journeys that the internet has to offer!
@@CaseyPalmer Love this perspective! Thanks for taking the time to reply & share that wisdom 😊
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I love what you're saying about keep experimenting and making each video a bit better than the last. @approaching60 - I'm grateful for this comment as well. Great tips - I will definitely take the advice @caseypalmer!
I finally hit 100 subs!!!! I am so promise of myself cause this is my 5th channel or so. Shit is hard but so fun and freeing in other ways.❤❤❤ and I’m watching ur channel at 222 subs for u and that’s my second 222 sign today and it was while editing my video so that is such a great sign for me
It’s such a rollercoaster- I wanted to start a RUclips channel for years…like at least 4-5 years and it was just this year that I decided to go for it. I get it…it’s hard. Keep going!
Keep going!!! We are all here for it. This video is popping off too. Hopefully this will serve as fuel!
Thank you!! And thanks for the comment, I appreciate your support 🙌🏽
I’m proud of you for working so hard on authenticity and combating uncertainty during this discovery process.
❤everything about this video. Very well done Jen. I think so much of what you're saying is so very relatable to so many who are either just starting out or are too scared to start. I'm over 40, and an over-thinker and I was stuck for 2 months before I finally started. For anyone out there too stuck in their heads to start, there is no better time than now and "done is better than perfect".
Being real and yourself is a super-power. Not many people can do it or choose to do it. I am personally still struggling with finding my real voice and having candid conversations like the one you just had with us. I think I still come off too scripted and I'd like to be more relatable. Lean into this, because people need it, I certainly do :D
And kudos to you for being brave and vulnerable. It's not an easy feat, and to anyone that might leave you negative comments, they can simply go f themselves. Thank you Jen.
Starting over is tough, especially when the new direction is public like this. I’ll say this, no one I know watches my stuff (except people I send a video to for critique) . I’ve launched several company social and RUclips channels very successfully, doing your own is a bigger challenge and the desire to be better than other beginners because of experience is the actual impediment. I’m putting out my second scripted video… it’s taken almost 14 months to do so ( my first I wrote and shot I about an hour and it’s got a few views)
I’m here to see which path aligns with you
I will watch and subscribe to your channel for trying keep moving ❤❤❤
Great video. What you talked about is sooo relatable! I’ve only just started my channel and am coming across many of the thoughts you share in your video. The emotional rollercoaster is real. I love your perspective and appreciate all that you’ve shared here.💕
Thank you for your comment and watching the video! I'm wishing you the best on this emotional rollercoaster - I'm right here with you!
@@jennavarx Thanks so much, Jen! 😊
Thanks for sharing honestly. I'm very early in my YT journey, but I still needed to see this, this week! 🥰
Thank you for sharing your journey. I’m also starting out on my YT journey, I have not set-up my channel yet but will within the next couple of weeks. I’m probably going to start out faceless as I have little control over my environment at the moment. It will be a craft/art channel starting out as easy and resourceful craft projects as I am naturally interested in this topic and I noticed one of the main things holding me back from crafting/art was the price tag associated with it. Another thing that I struggle with is putting myself out there authenticly while maintaining my privacy. I feel like that will not be as much of a concern with the faceless craft/art channel. Ultimate goal is to have multiple channels or one multifaceted channel and posting only when I feel inspired to do so and feel like I have value to provide because I have no interest in posting to satisfy an algorithm as I see so many content creators doing.
🗣️🗣️🗣️ “the emotional rollercoaster of being online” 😮💨 sooo relatable. Thank you for showing up authentically, it makes it feel safer for me to do it too 🫶
@@HealisticReserve feeling safe to post is a major road opener for me - no more gaslighting myself into thinking I need to show up as anything other than ME. 🙌🏽
Just started my own podcast (Notes & Quotes) and I'm managing everything! I'm the host, the producer, the digital market and I manage the instagram, RUclips and tiktok haha. So yes I know it is hard but the key is consistency and remembering why you do what you do. Why did you want to do it in the first place and if you stick with it long enough success starts to show.
So you are not alone at all and something made me click on oyur video and like it so you must be doing something right!
Love the name of your podcast!! Thanks for sharing- it’s so easy to feel alone in this journey where we are literally doing everything and in the beginning we get little to no return. I’ll go checkout your podcast!!
I will subscribe to your channel for your energy 💙💙💙👍💯👌
@@jennavarx Awe thank you! Saw you commented over there too so thanks for that too😊 And yes you are so so right
I felt like I was listening to a friend, love your authenticity and energy. Thank you! 💛
Wow, thank you! That means so much!
Hey, i Feel everything you saying. I just turned 36 2days ago and i needed to hear this. I probably had about over 4 channels before over a period of 4 years and deleted them all because nothing felt right, didnt feel like me, the topics, the content etc i was just following everyone else, but this year i started up again and this time feels like it was the right time because i feel so much more different, my vision, my reasons and im still struggling to find my niche as well even though i dont want a niche because i do allot and want to do so much more. But i realised whatever i do i want to make sure that there is a positive message with all the content i create and i think thats a good step in the right direction. You are so real and I love that, i too dont want to be another fake youtuber wanting attention its so much harder to be fake and keep that up than to just be authentically you but it is a work in progress. Im extremely small 25 subscribers but i hope to my 25 people that i am touching your hearts in many ways, thats all i can ask for.
You are for sure 🫶🏽 and happy belated birthday - so happy to be on this journey with you!
Having your niche is everything if you actually want views. I shot a video this past weekend and it had no direction at all but i still filmed until i could figure out what the purpose was. When it finally hit me i took the random clips and then shot 7 additional scenes to fill it out to make it cohesive.
I used to just pick up the camera and shoot and then release. Now i shoot and then figure out what value the video provides and who i can send it to or i don’t put it out. Not because there’s no value in getting things done but because i actually want people to get something out of it so they have to be able to find it.
Great video!
I am right with you on sticking with it, with the intent of being trustworthy- keeping the promise to myself. I did the same thing this year with making a habit of working out, after over 40 years of just not being a person who likes to exercise. :) And now I'm working to do it with my RUclips channel.
Love that! And you definitely got this- I truly believe it takes turning on just one habit for the domino effect to start!
@@jennavarx The RUclips journey is definitely a roller coaster ride. Hard to want to keep going when you're at the low parts, but I'm doing my best to just push through. It's nice to hear stories like yours that give some hope. :)
No doubt it is hard. I unfortunately walked away several years ago due to health issues. Now returning to YT and reconnected to the love of editing videos. It’s figuring out what to record...and what is my niche. I decided to just leave it open for now. :) Thanks for the video and posting it! ❤️
Oh, subscribed! 👍🏼😆
@@TheCaviarLife Thanks so much for your kind comment and for watching and subscribing ☺ I truly appreciate the support. I don't even know if I said it in this video, but I walked away from social media and content in 2022 due to a lot of personal things happening in my life. I'm happy to be back in the game with you! Please share your channel - I'm happy to support you on your journey!
@@jennavarx 🥰❤️❤️ @TheCaviarLife
I'm on the same journey. I decided to start with social media until I feel comfortable enough to make longer videos for youtube :)
Love to hear it! Wishing you the best luck with the journey. And, just a little tip - some people actually have an easier time with longer form content than short! Is that you? I find it's when we have a lot to say and have a hard time cutting it short! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment too!
@@jennavarx it’s that I think that talking for 15 minutes is too much. But, I have to give it a try. I have done RUclips videos before and loved the experience. This time, like you, I want it to really work so maybe I’m overthinking a bit more.
@@FranMerchan I am a chronic over thinker! I totally hear you on this one. ❤ I am also an oversharer so this helps me out a bit with longer form content lol
@@jennavarx We are very alike
I haven’t started yet, but the desire to start has been burning in me for years now.
I just keep putting it off and waiting until I’m “ready”.
But it’s time.
Following ❤️👏🏽
Get to it! Don't let the imposter syndrome trick you out of doing something you know you will love 😘 ( talking to myself too) 😝😘
It’s funny how this works. I keep hearing that there’s someone out there who wants to hear what you have to say. And I think this video was that for me. I keep thinking about it. Taking notes. Saving stuff. Getting that little extra gadget, but it’s intimidating. There’s one question that pop up in my head while listening to the bit about professionalism and being vulnerable. I think being vulnerable is the way to go today, but what about tomorrow? I apply for a private job and all this info is out there about me. There’s so much I want to talk about! What are your thoughts?
Hey! I love this comment, thanks so much for watching and bringing up this conversation. I've had that thought so many times about potentially applying for jobs and having all this info available on the internet about me. I currently have a job where I work with content creation and teaching social media strategy to entrepreneurs for a marketing agency. I feel lucky with this job tbh. My boss actually encourages me to post and grow my social media accounts and I hadn't had the guts to really do it until now. I think what I will do is shoot for my biggest dream/goal - I do want to be a full time creator (hard/vulnerable for me to admit!) so if for some reason this job doesn't work out for me, I would seek something like it in the future. Do you currently have a job? Are you working on growing your RUclips too?
True 💯👌💙
@@jennavarx how cool that your boss is cheering you on! I currently do have a corporate job online. My situation will be changing in the upcoming months and I really want to take it as an opportunity to try something more personal and creative. I’ve been jumping from job to job, form industry to industry since I got out of college and I think is time to dare. Lol.
Good for you to go for it! I just staterd to and it's really scary. I am very self-concious and perfectionist. Watching new youtubers inspires me. So Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts🥰
I stumbled across your channel, and i totally understand what you're going through. I have watched and followed many and seen them grow, and just to let you know that your on the right track.
Just be yourself, as your niche is already started to shine through ✨️
Look in the mirror and smile back to yourself and high-five yourself and remind yourself why you're on this journey.
Thank you for sharing this honest video of struggles.
I can relate to everything you said.
I find myself hiding behind editing.
I also find myself getting exhausted unconsciously putting on a performance for the camera.
These are two areas I am working on.
Putting yourself out there online is a journey - I am reminding myself to celebrate the very small wins and just move forward.
If not for anyone else, but to keep a commitment to myself and my childhood self
I feel like you're telling my story. You are so relatable. I did the makeup thing, struggled to make it look like all the other "gurus" so I gave up. I'm a tech junkie as well. I have a ton of cameras, mics, software etc. I've still been investing even though I didn't post. It's like I've been waiting for it my whole life. Love your content and am super happy I found you!
You have a new subscriber in me! 🫶🏿Love the authenticity in this video. It’s really helpful for creators who are just starting like myself.
Thanks for subbing and I’m so glad you found it helpful 🫶🏽 happy to be on this journey with you!
Thanks for the video. You have done something right because youtube pushed your video on my screen 👍
I am also quite new here. Started about a year ago. Been doing mostly videos about our dog, have about 900 susbscribers, happy for each and everyone of them 😊
I have been thinking about maybe start doing some talking head videos, but getting in front of the camera is a little bit scary, especially when english is not my first language.
Keep pushing, hoping to see you grow. At least you have one more subscriber from Finland now 😇👍
Ditto
Focus more on talking head videos with less editing. What you say is much more valuable. Plus, you can churn more that way. Your personality and what you say will love watching your videos. Keep at it.
💯
I started in 2010 and I still feel the way you do. I feel like 14years later I’m starting over because the algorithm, my audience and my contents changed so much in that time.. so it’s never too late and you may have started back then and still be here now ♥️
You sound a lot like me :-) getting started is my problem, had so many false starts, I joined youtube in October.....october 2006! and have stopped and started since then ..... have decided to relive my life in my channel and instead of a book its going to be my youtube channel, I'm 67 now. and have had 57 different jobs... and never been fired ! or had a leaving party! Back in my childhood ADHD and dyslyxia did not exist, Add to these Diabeties type 2 and dementure or that old timers disease :-). But these are all but bumps in the road... Keep on keeping on and we'll get there in the end!
Hey there! I joined in June ‘06 as a viewer. Have been trying to do a channel since like 2011.
You got a hit with this one. Keep it up. Things are not easy in any area 😉
I think you did a wonderful job at connecting with us on a personal level in this video. I've only seen this one so far, but I think you are doing great!
Thanks so much for watching and for your comment! I appreciate your kind words.
This for the candid share on small creators' grind. Luv your authentic vibe!
Joining u on your journey!
Yes it is but keep it up and you will reach your goals on RUclips I started posting in 2019 and I’ve only just reached 1k subscribers in 2024 no matter what there will always be supporting people for whatever your going to post on your RUclips channel … I’ll be honest til lithos day I still don’t know how to edit 😅
Wow, thanks so much for the encouragement, and thanks for your honesty! Congrats on 1k - guaranteed I will throw myself a party as soon as I hit 1k lol. Editing got easier for me once I figured out Descript - have you ever tried it?
I will subscribe to your channel for your powerful comment❤❤❤
Hi Jen, thank you for this video and being so open about your journey. I am starting this RUclips journey and have done so much research just to start. Your video has been a breath of fresh air and sparked something inside of me just to start so Thank you. Keep shining.
Keep going, don't give up.
I like your energy
Felt this. Currently weighing authenticity knowing where stress comes from. Also trying to be less judgmental.
I had to come and check out your first video in this area. You do this so well!!
Wow!! Thank you so much for saying so!
This could have easily been pulled from one of my journal entries about same, same topic, accompanied by the same "challenges", almost verbatim.😂😳 Thank you so much. It resonates.
I'm just starting to learn what starting a new channel might be about. I'm still at that stage where I haven't made the first video and need to test a mic. Those challenges you're talking of are yet to come but I'm learning what I'll have to prepare for
I love all of this!!!
😊 thanks so much! You inspire me!
Good luck to all Small RUclipsrs like myself wishing you all the best ❤great video ❤
I saw your video come up on my recommended… so glad I did because it’s very relatable.
Sometimes it’s just very validating to see others are thinking / struggling / working on the same things. Thanks so much for sharing.💕You’ve got this! 🙌
Thanks for this video. I have decided to do a few lives about starting a RUclips channel. Side note , I use a cell phone at the moment as well. I did niche down as well. RUclips is not easy but it’s worth it.
I’m so happy that you are taking the courage to get back on YT! You are going to be amazing! Even tho most of the time starting can be challenging but my advice to you is to just stay consistent making videos that you like and enjoy and you will discover your niche. There’s power in Quantity over Quality. I wish you the best on your Journey! Have fun!😁
Your video randomly popped up on my feed, it was an interesting listen. Good luck on your journey.
New RUclipsr here. You’re spot on. And you’re doing great 👍🏻
Thank you so much!!
Stick with it girl! 😊
Thanks for this Jen, appreciate your authenticity!
Thanks for watching and your kind comment, I appreciate your support!
Hi! So glad your video got recommended, I started my yt channel about 3 months ago and I don‘t know what my niche is either. I‘m focusing on mental health right now but I‘m also an artist and I‘m constantly scared that people will unfollow cause of the variety of interests I have and I feel like my channel is not cohesive
Tbh, I have the same fear. I want to make vlogs of my life here in the city and I’m afraid people will hate it 😅. Thanks for sharing and for watching ❤
Hello Jen, you’re hitting a lot of subjects that no one else has offered. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
🌹It’s fine! Keep going it’s like you’ve been in your own RUclips university as I have been as well. Just keep creating posting.
I subscribed. I just started my own channel as well. It's too time consuming to edit. I want to focus more on making low-edits talking head video. Great job and persistence is key! Thanks for the video.
Looks like you are already doing fine. All you need to do is stay focused and accept constructive comments but there will be some who will want to go down with you. Rhe journey is hard, very very hard especially when you commit your time to produce great content and get very few views.
congrats Jen!!!!!!!!!!!
Niche down or you yourself become the niche, so the algorithm doesn’t get a concussion, but if you have multiple interests, make different accounts. Also, do it for fun. The sec u take this RUclips game serious, you’ll burnout to levels that are incompressible. Keep doing long form content tho, good luck on ur journey 🙌🏾
Do it for FUN!! 🙌🏽 that’s the part I gotta remember. Thanks for watching and the reminder 😊
I just started after watching videos for 6 months. Then I just created a channel last month and now uploaded my 4th video couple days ago. Let’s goooo!!
Love the honesty. I feel like I'm in the exact same boat. Keep making the world more awesome. Happy to subscribe!
Thank you for the lovely comment! This journey is a REAL ONE. What's your channel about? Would love to support your on yours!
👍
I started posting a few months ago, fulfilling something I wanted to do in 2011. I didn't pick up the camera until a couple years ago, posting sporadically. I made it up in my mind to try to post one video a week at the age of 42 with a kid and a full-time job
@@sharonpearson 🫶🏽 we got this
Soooooooooooooo hard oh my goodness. Love your content, also over 40 (42) to be exact. You are beautiful, and so charming. This whole RUclips thing is difficult but very rewarding and getting easier week by week.
Hey Jen, awesome video, thank you for sharing. You’ve given me lots of inspiration. I’m going to follow your lead and share my authentic story today on my channel. Thank you 🙏
wonderfull. will be following your journey
I appreciate your support!
RUclips is hard,I am currently experiencing the struggle but keeping it positive. I know that one day, my videos will be viral.Amen
Thanks so much for sharing 🫶🏽 what’s your biggest struggle?
Life is hard, nothing is easy keep going
I really struggle a lot with overthinking too. Just kinda comes with a creative mind. I stopped doing RUclips. It's just way too time consuming and I wasn't getting a whole lot out of it. I shifted into Pinterest and enjoying it a lot better but realizing that no matter WHAT you start online, it's gonna take a very long time to grow an audience. In most cases. And if you don't have an audience then you ain't gettin sales. If you want to make money fast, get an actual job that pays hourly. Online business is not for everyone.
Your niche will find you. Just keep making videos. And commit to an upload schedule. You already did the hardest part just by creating this channel.
New RUclipsr here. It’s definitely harder than it looks , but you definitely have to have your heart in it to stay moving. Good luck on your channel, subcribed!
Love to see whatever you're doing keep going❤
I just started my RUclips channel, too! Also 41 💚💚
Yes I filmed a video for my new teacher channel. Edited part one LAST MONTH. Haven’t gone back to edit part 2. 😢
I now have 18 videos planned so truly hoping I will just do it.
Thank you for this! I’m restarting my channel and am finding it really hard to gain❤
I’m wishing you the best in restarting your channel! You totally got this- happy to be on the journey together!
@@jennavarx thank you 🙏 ❤️
Great job with the mic. Sound definitely increases the quality of the video.
Subscribed❤ can relate so much as someone who just started posting 😊
Thanks for subscribing ☺️ so glad to hear you can relate 🫶🏽
Tbh with you I have a hard time sticking to your video because you take ages to get to your point. I think, ytb is about good storytelling and grasping people’s attention. If you wanna grow, maybe work on this. Nowadays people have short attention span especially because of short type content, so it takes more mental energy to stick on your videos and actually be focused. I hope this will help for your future creation. Best of luck.
I restarted my channel this year too!
I can understand each word you are saying . I am just trying to be consist send improve on my videos
But doing everything alone is soo hard 😢
It is right? Although I do like to have the creative control. Glad to be on this journey with you! Thank you for watching 😊
@@jennavarx yes absolutely
Yeh growth is very slow and at time so frustrating ❤️
You are doing great and all the best. Praying we all succeed 🥂♥️
Starting your channel can be really tough if you don't plan everything ahead. I knew I couldn't afford to waste months trying to get noticed by just a handful of people. Instead of spending months to get few hundred subscribers, I found how to get organic growth immediately (I am using a lot of Famester of course). Ever since I started using this tool, my channel blew up and I realized that people tend to focus on numbers when searching for content. Having a low subscriber count often means being overlooked, even if your content is top-notch...
Are you ME? You literally said how my experience has been w YT n social media! TO THE TTTTTT!!!!!! ❤ TO THE TTTTTTTTTT TTTTT!!!! mic drop
Twinsies 👯♀️🫶🏽
You don't look 41. You're awesome!
Follow for follow is against the RUclips policies. But good video. Well done. 👍
Perhaps you need to be consistent. I saw you have a short from Jan 2023. And just videos all over the place just like me. Try posting 5days a week for 4 weeks straight and see how much better your channel will improve. I do not like editing, but i want the skill so i am doing it myself and after posting randomly every couple of months in the past few years. I decided 2 weeks ago to do a challenge and post 5days a week for 4 weeks straight because many people are doing that to kickstart their channel and get to monetization stage first then set a schedule for themselves to post 2-3 days a week.
Thanks so much for the suggestion! Yes you're right - my videos have been all over the place! I did give posting every day a try back in January 2023 and unfortunately it was too much for me. I'm giving 3 videos per week a try. Hopefully I can stay consistent with it, I know that consistency is my biggest downfall so this time around I'm committed and going all in! Good luck to you on your journey! Would love to hear back about how doing 5 days a week works - let us know!
@@jennavarx ok i will try to ghet bk to you. end of october on my progress. I also wish you well on your journey. Keep pushing and never give up! 💙
I watch you because you seem genuine,a little insecure and pretty.
But don't get crazy about your channel going through the roof. How's Mexico?
Hi from Brooklyn 🤟
I think its funny when your niche is kinda decided for you. I wanted to do car tips in general, but then I posted videos about my car and those did 10X better, so I guess is gonna be videos about my car then 😅
