    Just wanna give anyone in the comments an example. She made this video about UA-cam marketing / growth. That is all I’m searching these days. Even tho she specializes in fashion content. This was on my home page because it’s relevant to me. Keep that in mind as she is explaining how UA-cam is a search engine.
    I wish you much success ❤

      @@PoliticsFashion thank you for taking time from your normal content to be real and genuine. I was tired of looking at all the flashy tips. I have had a lot of success here. It was that reels bonus on Instagram that took me off track. 🤭
      Thank you for bringing me back.
      & you are sooooo beautiful 😍 I’m subbing because I want to learn how to upgrade my wardrobe.

      That "UA-cam is a search engine" line changed my entire mindset. I already knew that and I use UA-cam mainly for that reason. But I never connected it to my content. 🤦🏾‍♀️

    Thank you so much. It was time for someone to have that conversation and to be candid. I watch Instagram, but everything is too short. It’s like grab and go. UA-cam is my go to media outlet. It is my television replacement. I learn so much more from UA-cam content than any other platform.

    I’ve watched you on both platforms, but mostly UA-cam. I believe UA-cam, allows you to get to know the person, Instagram only allows you to see a glimpse of person. I prefer to get know the person! Your videos are informative and insightful, your growth has been amazing to watch! I wish you more success!!! I saw you yesterday in H&M, I admit I was ⭐️struck, I appreciated you stopping a saying hello! Your presence in person is just as beautiful as it is on UA-cam! See you again soon!!!

    I agree with all of your points. I’ve purchased your e-book, bought jewelry and clothing from websites you’ve mentioned, recommended your podcast to others, and researched other topics all because of your YT videos. I really appreciate medium and long form content as it allows me to get to see a creator over a longer period of time instead of snippets. And it’s easier to go back and review older videos, which I appreciate. I do wish that YT did a better job of recommending similar creators or topics based on who/what you’re subscribed to. Thank you for all the work that you do, especially deinfluencing us.

    This the ONE right here! I've had a goal of being a content creator for close to 15 years now and finally took the leap this year. I initially wanted to create on YT, but shifted once IG became "that girl". But I realize that I need to get back to my original goal.
    Thank you for always keeping it real, for educating us, and being a true inspiration in so many ways. Your work is much appreciated.

    Thanks so much for this Tashira. I’ve been contemplating starting a UA-cam channel. I still have lots of research and work to do before I take the leap.
    I couldn’t agree more about IG being a play to pay. Once you play the game they bombard you with ads and incentives to boost more and more of your content.
    My views are not as high as they once were. However I’m still posting almost daily. I’ve reverted back and forth between reels and photos.
    Your content is always on point and your fashion is impeccable and relatable. Keep up the great work Sis! ✌🏽 and ❤️

    It's so interesting to hear your take on this because even when it was new, I could not get into IG and you hit it right on the head why! It feels too brief and impersonal but is so wildly additive to scroll through. I rarely post on IG but recently began posting on my UA-cam channel again about my overseas living journey since this is the space I have always loved to partake in for content anyway. I so appreciate your analysis on how UA-cam is truly a place to get thorough information as well as truly grow if it's a desire to create content. In about a month of posting, I am getting so much feedback and actually feeling like I am cultivating a community and that is such a great feeling to be on a platform where I am actually seen. Loved this video and can't wait for the next one!

I am in the second year of my UA-cam journey and I really want to focus my energy on this platform, but I knew that would mean scaling down my presence on IG. Honestly, scaling back on IG really doesn't matter because that platform is literally not serving me. I needed to hear this! 👊🏽🙌🏽🤞🏽😘

  • @kimigirl4794
    @kimigirl4794 8 місяців тому

    You are so right! When I view my insights on my uploads on IG it’s like less than 25% of my followers who actually see my content/reels. My followers followed my page because they wanted to see my account right? So why aren’t the statistics reflecting or encouraging that interaction? But 75% of my content was shown to non followers…. Okay soo.. is that converting to an increase in my followers? Maybe it’s a case of slow and steady wins the race. I’m good with quality over quantity but something isn’t adding up behind the scenes . Your video really helped me to understand why I’m seeing what I’m seeing. The platform is so grab and go it doesn’t offer as much support to a non product based business. Thank you for your videos I really enjoy your content overall!

I’m reaching out to you because of your knowledge of both fashion and politics.(the law)… I’m hoping you can help me to see if this cause is legitimate. If so… I would like to see affordable looks for the occasions …loving your content!
