Love the acknowledgment of the privilege behind having a safety net as you make the jump to full time self employed content creator! One of the biggest risks I can see is that you wouldn't have health insurance starting out. I see so many influencers making digs about people staying in unfulfilling corporate style jobs, when that's often the only way health care is affordable to most people in this country. The digs are normally from younger influencers that are still supported on their parent's insurance, or from married ones who get their insurance from their traditionally employed spouse. I just think that's one of the under addressed aspects of this, and is a big factor in gatekeeping disabled individuals, who have no choice to be insured or die, from gaining a platform and keeps them underrepresented in this type of space.
I totally agree with the “my viewers just want to watch me be myself”!!! You could literally post you watching paint dry or grass grow and I would be tuning in!! 😂
LOL YES
Okay but time lapse of the plants growing?! Yes please!
literally tho 😂😂
We need another rock tumble episode 😂
y’all i would love to hear about how the finances work with the people you employ and how your salary can pay others. i think it would be really cool if steve did some financial literacy content and explain how to manage money!!!
I love that you know your viewers will watch whatever content you put out. I will watch literally whatever video you do #bringbacktherocks
Yes! I was literally thinking the other day "hmm, we haven't seen Sierra's rocks in a minute"
we love the rocks
Oh my gosh the Best Fiends reference has me cracking up because I definitely remember when EVERYONE was sponsored by Best Fiends and saying the same thing 😂
I love hearing UA-camrs talk about the behind-the-scenes parts of their channel! It helps to show how real the people behind the channels are, and that there’s more than just filming or taking photos involved
I definitely don’t mean to overstep, just a piece of feedback from an audio engineer. Sierra, your mic has some reverb because you're sitting in a corner. Maybe while you’re redoing the set, you could add some foam on the walls that matches the new aesthetic! But I’m excited for the rebrand regardless 🧡
Yeah the other girls mics sound better
Thank you so much for the feedback, absolutely not an overstep. We will fix this moving forward- the next episode was pre recorded so may still have that issue, but we will troubleshoot it for the next recording sesh 😊
I came to say a similar thing! Love the podcast, peeps! But Sierra’s mic sounded a little off x
Literally came to say the same thing, though I’m not an audio engineer so I didn’t know how it could be fixed lol. I’m glad that you knew the solution! I love the pod. 😍
Not technical in the least, but to me it sounded like your microphone wasn’t working and we were just hearing through the camera microphone for you. Could also be the corner reverb too though.
So happy to hear that Riayn and Paloma are staying with the podcast permanently! Love the vibes from you three! 🌻
As someone that works in a STEM field, I had to learn the hard way that it is okay to value your worth when discussing pay with companies. It's neat that you're sharing this because even if you are not an influencer, that advice is still applicable!!
I think another big reason that you’ve developed into a “ perfect isn’t always best ‘messy’” type of video style, and someone correct me if I’m wrong for thinking this, is your self confidence and your confidence in not just being a content creator, but in your body and self worth. Looking back at your old videos, it’s very much focused on flattering ( I freaking hate that word lmao), slimming, and hiding the parts of your body accordingly, though through the years as you’ve fallen into ( though it’s less of a fall and more of a mental very forceful push) body neutrality and self acceptance, your content has changed as well. And as you had come to love yourself for your quirks and imperfections you’ve also come to love your content for the same, and your expectations of perfection were pushed from the foreground backwards. This year a big goal of mine has been to accept my body for what it is rather than shame for what it isn’t ( which your content has helped me with and I wear my merch proudly) and I had started at the beginning of 2022 a “ one photo a day” type thing to help me ‘fall in like’ with myself again. And when in the beginning of the year I’d take 30 photos to pick the one I like the most, now as I have become more appreciative of my body, I simply take a photo, add it to the collection, and move on with my day, without adding thought to it. And I feel that I’ve noticed a similar feel with your content. As our self confidence blooms, our internal monologue nags a little less, and becomes an extra rather than a sidekick. Anywho, all this being said, I love your content, thank you so much for helping along my own person journey of body neutrality, I hope you and the whole team and Ryan and Paloma and grace and your family and anyone who bothered to read this are happy healthy and hydrated, you’re loved you’re valid and you’re worthy of respect. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk!
This has been one of my favorite podcast episodes ever!! This was so fascinating!!
Sierra I just need you to know that I've been watching you for at least three years and I have never thought that you were annoying or talked too much. When I watch any of your content I feel like I'm hanging out with my silly, bubbly buddy and I wouldn't change a thing 😊. You're all awesome, keep being your wonderful selves! 💜
Hey Sierra! You mentioned that you don’t want to send an email at midnight, and I am the same way! Have you checked out the “schedule send” feature on gmail? It lets you get it off your mind and send it in the moment, but the send is scheduled to be received at whatever time, like 9:05am. It has saved me so many times! I highly suggest it!
Yes! I do this with texts too! I have to do it while I'm thinking about it or I'll get distracted...
schedule send is a life saver!
@@daniellekirsch5402 on Samsung?
@@juggalette702 yes, you can do this on samsung
Sierra‘s big personality and her being silly and loud is one of the reasons why I like watching her videos so much
Sounds like Sierra’s microphone isn’t on
I felt like your video with Molly Burke a few years ago felt super forced lol - I could tell you two didn’t fully vibe like you and Carrie do 😂 this was a cool podcast!!
I’m really stanning y’all’s dynamic like it’s so natural it feels like I’m sitting across from you guys ❤
you 3 are literally my new fav trio, even if you have the the folding table setup!! (no shade xoxo) i’ve loved the podcast since day one and now that Paloma and Riayn have joined i can’t get enough 🥹
I wanted you to know I’m a 59 year old woman. I LOVE your content. I feel like you keep me in touch with the younger generation and I have a niece who is your age(and has young kids) so I can relate to her better. You inspire me to be more confident even at my age so I thank you!!!!
I like listening to Sierra talk about the day to day details of her channel. E g. The brand deals etc.
Pleaseee make that part 2, the value!!!👏👏👏❣
Sierra, I first found you from Overshare with Joslyn and Lily! I love the channel and vlog too but long-form podcast Sierra is my favorite! It's like a phone call with a friend!! I'm so glad you're back and excited to get to know Riayn and P!
Sierra, you are a humble queen. You deserve every good thing that happens to you. I love that you called I your friend because often I feel like we’re just on FaceTime in your vlogs. Thank you for being here. ❤️
So excited for the rebrand! I’ve been loving the dynamic between you three and look forward to your future conversations! 🥰
I’m so excited! I’ve been dabbling in working with brands on insta and I’m glad to have the inside scoop from you 3!!!!
So pumped that this podcast is becoming a regular thing!
You can def do whatever you want. I generally do not agree with the idea of vlogs but I watch all of yours. they feel relatable.
I really loved this episode. I found your channel from that first viral video so it’s been awesome to see you grow. I totally relate to the fear of talking too much, but you did not do that here at all. You had so many valuable things to say. It was great! Can’t wait for part 2.
I'm only like a third of the way but I'm loving this episode so much (the other ones too to be fair haha). I honestly don't know how many subs Sierra had when I started watching but it feels like it was close to the beginning and wow! It's so awesome to see how your channel has grown, the ways in which you have changed and now to hear a little bit more of the behind-the-scenes. I really admire you Sierra, not just for the message you put out into the world but for the person you are and how you have managed your career. You are an inspiration to me and your content has made my life better in so many ways. I feel like the only thing I can really say to express what I feel is thank you!
I LOVE hearing all behind the scenes and would love to hear more about Instagram too. Please make more of these podcast!! ✨🙏
Love the open and honest dialog-thanks ladies for giving back!
im so happy that Riayn and Paloma are going to be regulars on the vlog! also loved the content of this episode, sierra is so self aware and i really appreciate her honesty. cant wait to see you 3 grow and get to know you guys as a trio :)
Totally agree about pre and post COVID. Before I would shake people’s hands and now I kind of hesitate. I always seem to have stuff in my hand when they want to shake my hand too.
This discussion was really insightful; I now have way more empathy for the hustle and struggles of content-creators/influencers. Definitely look forward to part 2 ✨
This was really fascinating. My husband (who does not do any social media) was even captivated by this content! So interesting!
This was such an awesome episode! 😍 It just shows what an amazing person you are, Sierra, and it was so sweet when you talked about your audience and how we would all be friends - I agree! ✨❤️
I am just starting out UA-cam. I love Sierra advice about make 100 bad video and learn and grow from that. That is going to be a new goals of mine. I also love talk about working with friends boundaries. I struggle with boundaries. I am so excited for the new branding. Proud of you Sierra 👏 ❤.
So excited for part two!! I would also love to hear more about affiliate links and how (if it’s possible) to get into that as a very small creator.
Please don't feel like you can't complain about the bad parts or hard parts of your job. If anyone is watching thinking "she has the best job ever how could she complain" then they are not in touch with reality. Every job fantastic or not has it's down sides and opening your life up to criticism from strangers has to be really hard! And you do it simply so we can have entertainment. More power to you!
I'm so excited that the podcast is back and I can't wait to see the rebrand!
Thanks for your content in general!
This was so interesting! Great episode. I remember Sierra doing a similar video but it was years ago and so interesting to see how far you’ve come and grown!
such a great episode - love me some honesty and serious talks amongst friends
Loved this podcast! Thank you for sharing so much.
love this kind of content! thanks for the inside scoop girlies
Hello! Just finished watching the video and I wanted to comment and say how I really enjoyed it. I'm so glad Sierra suggested doing another podcast about starting out on UA-cam and learning and trying, that will be so interesting to hear about!
I loved this podcast! I have always been so curious on how Sierra makes money and what the behind the scenes are of her brand deals!
y’all have a great chemistry!!!! Love these videos! You’re def my fav UA-cam I always get so excited when I see you uploaded
I LOVED this video! Can’t wait for part 2!
We loved that rock tumbling 😂
I both love and hate that you touched on “being too much”. Hate that you’ve been told that, but love that the discussion came up. Elyse Myers has a saying “go find less”. I heard it around the same I was making an internal realization about myself and gave me the words I needed to express the feeling. I have a 9 month (next week) old daughter and I never want her to dull her shine or lessen her sparkle because some jerk thinks she’s too much, but I realized I hold myself back all the time. Terrible example for her. So I’m done. I will never make myself less again so that they can feel “more”. If I’m “too much” then as Elyse says, they can go find less. I like who I am and that took years. I’m embracing all of my “too much” going forward
Folks chasing money on TikTok should check out Hank Green's video where he explains how they pay creators versus how UA-cam pays. I'm not saying to abandon TikTok - I think the creators could force them to change their pay model. But Riayn and Palmona seemed surprised by the info that UA-cam pays better because for newer creators it seems like most are hypnotized by the popularity of TikTok. Good luck to you three with the new pod branding!
Love love love need more of this please do a part 2 please it's so helpful xxo we love you all
I shouldn't have favourites, because I love all three of you, but I adore Riayn 💕 love the new direction of the podcast! Hope Skyler is doing well!
i used to listen to sierra unfiltered back when skylar was on but this was the first episode i watched with riayn and paloma and i LOVE YALL TOGETHER !! p.s. i had this episode on when i finished my last ever assignment of my college degree so thanks for keeping me company 💗
Congrats!!!! 🎉🍾
Yay new episode
That's awesome that they're joining you full time in the podcast! 🥳
Didn’t think I needed Sierra making fun of Kim k in my life but here I am
As a very small creator, this was super interesting and helpful! So thank you!!!
This was absolutely AMAZING!!! I'm not a content creator but have been so curious! I love to learn!!!
Very interesting episode. Can't wait for more!
Hey y’all! A little constructive suggestion if you’re open to it:
All three of you are SO fun and have amazing chemistry. I love watching y’all!
However I think it would be nice to have more personality variety on some episodes. I feel like people like Kenzie and Steven are a great balance in the episode they’re on and I think more guests like that would be really appealing to your less-energetic/extroverted fans.
Love the pod, I’ll be listening either way ☺️
I just watched this entire video and loved it even though I'm not wanting to be an influencer lol but the advice can still apply to life in general so I still feel randomly motivated and inspired. I'm also super curious which video has the labels all covered up but it's fine!
Super interesting! I always feel bad when influencers feel like they have to almost apologize for acknowledging downsides to their industry. I think everyone has things they don't like about their job and we should all be able to share that without having to give a list of our privileges. I get where you are coming from and why you do, I just think people need to recognize that you didn't "wish you could do that", you worked 2-3 jobs in addition to UA-cam. You were committed and regardless of how hard life got or if you were tired, you got up and you made content, which involved so much! Sure, there are really idealistic aspects, but for all the people that are starting out and doing everything themselves, that's a full-time job without the pay.
Where the Sierra fan boys at🙋♂️
Love the longer podcast!
Been here since the voice lesson days. I remember when you hit one million 🥺❤️
i loved this episode!!
I’m cracking up at you talking about how excited we got over your rock tumbling😂 Because yes. We love YOU. I literally do not care what you do. Rock tumbling, gardening, making a smoothie, your presence just puts a smile on my face. Like you said we are your peers and really see you as a friend because you are so relatable. And when you think about good friends, you can hang out with good friends and do absolutely nothing and still have the best time and that’s really how I feel about your content! I watch 100% of the videos you post on your main channel, vlog channel and podcast channel, but my favorite is definitely the vlogs and podcasts. I love the relatability and authenticity and that comes with the vlog and podcasts. Also, OBSESSED with Riayn and Paloma. So so so glad you 3 are doing this together. I am now following them on social and would love to see their careers take off!
I'm not at all meaning for this to come across as rude or unnecessarily critical, but I have some honest feedback that I wanted to share. I loved this podcast before, but I find it hard to watch now, even though I really want to love it! It's just that the number of times the word "like" is said makes it almost unwatchable for me. I say like regularly myself, so I completely get it, but it seems very excessive here and I had to shut it off, even though I'm genuinely interested in the topic and enjoy listening to the three of you.
This was such a fascinating video - thanks for sharing!
I think it helps that a lot of us og subscribers have grown through our 20’s with you so we’re kind of on the same journey together
*Me tearing up when Sierra said she has worked with her top 3 brands*
I work on the payroll side of commercials and especially bc depending on the brand they might have to be compliant with The Union, and or state laws. i.e. California law says non union has to be paid in x amount of days
Yes my daughter is almost 6 and she watches kids UA-cam on her tablet and sees like kid channels and knows I watch mom channels and others like your vlog channel and she begs for us to have a UA-cam channel she’s so sweet & pretend films videos on her tablet but I’m very much like no I couldn’t imagine all the hateful comments, mom shaming, or criticism. I’m one of those people that constantly on social media if someone takes something I post or said wrong I’m always trying to explain myself so I worry that I would struggle
*cough cough lacroix cough cough*
I remember the vlog of your last day giving voice lessons!
Great podcast.
Just curious about sharing income on a channel like this, like since now the podcast is all three of you how are you sharing the income since its technically Sierras channel? Is it like a salary? Is there an owner/ leader or are you all equal in the podcast “company”
Hi I loved this so much. I’m a UA-camr for 2 years and really enjoy it. But I also have a fulltime job. But I was wondering wat is a good website to make links to products in the description box. I never do this cause there so long and don’t know if this will help my channel?
Please make a 7 hr version of this
Yes I was told I was too old and fat for the Internet. It has made it hard to make consistent content. Well, that and being technologically challenged.
Rian is so pretty omg
Casually perusing the comments to see if anyone else did the dirty work for me and figured out which brand made you tape up all the logos in your house
I think it was Best Buy. She had to blur her Starbucks cup for something and ended up buying a non-branded cup with that in mind.
Aww, I am that 2%, I am not your age😀 but love you!!! I have been following for years!
Hey Sierra! You have 40 plus viewers too ❤️❤️❤️
For the part 2: how do is saving for retirement while being self employed?
Great episode. Y'all are amazing and can't wait for the rebrand. Can you please move the mics down and towards y'all so we can see your faces?
Y’all should podcast with Alex Michael May😍
very interesting learning about how youtube works. love it.
I wonder if Sierra’s microphone wasn’t working? She sounds so different and less crisp and though we can still hear her it’s more echoey.
#bringbacktherocks
I just want to be a part of this friend group. Can I join girls night out from NY? lol
I am female, but not your age. I’m 38. Just thought I’d let you know grandma is in the house. 👵🏻 😆
I think Sierra has to talk very loudly with her mic and the other girls just talk normal
𝓅𝓇𝑜𝓂𝑜𝓈𝓂 💞
Fix your audio. I say this with kindness lol
WOW Do not know how you should up in my feed..so happy you did! New Subbie here and now going to your main channel too.. Always Fun when Fellow Creators Share their journey..
