    I think money is very relative! I started my channel one year ago and I have made money off of my channel without being monetized. If you are looking to make money early on, reaching out to companies for affiliate links or sponsorship videos. Actually smaller channels are more marketable now because companies feel that smaller channels have a more influence because people don't think they're just sponsored.
    Also, iPhone X has great camera quality! A lot of my favorite bloggers vlog with the newer iPhones and you can't really even tell the difference.
    If you're doing it for fun, just do it! No matter if people are watching or if you don't have the best quality right now. It's a truly fulfilling thing ❤️

      I have a 5 year camera but am going to ask for a new one for my 30th. I'm finding it hard not been able to see if I'm in shot ect. It's all about who you are and develop on camera. Some are funny. Some are crazy some people are geeky and are perfect for videos about Science Tech ect. I'm still working on myself and my channel. I have ruff ideas to try out. But sure know I care more at 30 than I did at 20. Care less do more.

    I have such a hard time NOT being embarrassed by videos that I've made. Even though I was proud of it when I made it, I just see all the tiny flaws that make me cringe and put it on private. But one of the biggest things that I hate is when someone I watch suddenly takes down old videos. So this definitely helped me think about what I appreciate in other channels that I can try to remember for myself!

    @AngelikaSings 4 роки тому +1

    Ok this is probably my favorite starting a UA-cam channel video I’ve watched. You talked about a lot of things I haven’t heard from other people. My favorite thing that I learned from you was learning about how many videos you have to make to really take off. I had a UA-cam when I was younger and I keep comparing myself to how much quicker it was back then to get views and it’s comforting to hear that it takes years to see that kind of growth instead of the instantaneous things that I keep expecting. Thanks for a great video and keeping it real with us 💖

  • @ArnelBrittany

    We started our channel about 2 months ago for fun and I can definitely say that's the driving force behind continuing regardless of numbers. The moment you start to focus on the numbers over the fun, you'll lose motivation.

    Thank you for this! I actually think your video is very complimentary of the other just bubbly ones we are more used to watch. People are not either black or white so watching your more practical (yet not demotivating at all) video AND other videos focused more on the bright side can give us a better view of what is really this youtube world about.
    What I really think it's important though is that we have to also understand that everyone's experience is different and personal and we must not think there is a standard path to follow. We can learn from already successful UA-camrs like you how to keep going and that maybe we're not alone in this journey but ultimately, our experience doesn't have to match anyone else's.
    Wish everyone good luck and sending positive vibes to you all!

    Wow. This video was awesome. Thank you so much for creating this. I didn’t find anything you said to be discouraging. If anything, I felt like a lot of what you shared was empowering. I think this is my favorite UA-cam tips video I have watched and I have seen a ton. My favorite tips you shared were around authenticity and not putting a video on private because it doesn’t have enough views. I’ve done that with three videos so far and I really liked those videos so I’m going to make them public again. I also appreciate the tip around putting out videos as soon a you are done creating versus sticking to a schedule. This just makes so much more sense when you are trying to grow. I also agree, definitely invest in a better camera as soon as possible. I have the G7x too and I just love it. Thank you for inspiring me. Also, love the necklace you are wearing and I so happy you posted a link to it so thank you for that. Thank you to the moon and back again for sharing all these tips 🌙💕
