Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences. It's important to remember that trading involves risks and it's normal to face looses sometimes. One piece of advice is to start small and gradually increase your investments as you gain more experience and confidence.

Most of us will not make enough money to be a full time youtuber, but all of us have what it takes to have a little bit of a following and have some fun. That is what I do, it has worked out OK.
I’ve been posting (they used to be terrible lol) vlogs for 4 years! Consistency is really what got me going and 2 or 3 searchable videos to get traction! I’m finally starting to see growth now!
I started my YT channel a few ago after watching your jaw surgery videos - I also had double jaw surgery and documented the whole process for the last 2+ years...now transitioning to making videos about my health journey with chronic fatigue (which is what led me to jaw surgery) and hoping that my (very small) group of subscribers will continue to follow along - even if they were originally there for jaw surgery content - because they've gotten to know me and are interested enough to keep watching. I found your jaw surgery videos super helpful and subscribed to both your channels after finding those - really appreciate all of your content and love your vlogs as well!
I've watched a lot of videos about how to start your own UA-cam channel and even though I feel like I know what to do, it's way easier said than done in my experience when it comes to actually execute the many steps that are involved in producing a great video people are enjoying to watch. Every time I watch a "How to start a UA-cam channel" video I still get a new perspective and fresh ideas so thank you a lot for your tips and advice. I'll try them for my channel :)
The reminder that it's okay for a video not to do well is really important! It takes time and effort to build a successful channel, and there will be ups and downs along the way.
This is my goal! I don’t know if I want to vlog but I’m not afraid to put myself on film😊 And I’m confident in filming/editing. It’s just being consistent for myself.
I think being successful on UA-cam 12 years ago was easier to get viewers. Now there's more competition. Quality is more important quantity. An editor can edit the raw footage differently and tell a totally different story.
Not really. I have a very specific niche that is for a very small group of people. Yet the thing that is insane is my videos that are getting the most views at the moment were posted 2 years ago. At that time, they got only about 100 to 200 views and were mostly found through Google search. Most of my videos are either the first or among the first 3 on Google search for the SEO and generally search terms in my niche. However, UA-cam didn't show my videos to many people interested in the tutorial for a very long time. How is it possible that a 2 year-old video is getting almost 10k views a month now and not before? Something isn't right in the algorithm.
I think adding background music in a video helps because it adds more stimulation during those quiet moments when you don’t have B Roll footage! Also, just adding yourself on a thumbnail or even in the video helps! I am surprised how there is more faceless content now especially with the advent of AI!
I'm 5 months away from making the jump to full time, I am both excited and terrified, but I am SO excited to put into practice the things I want to do but don't have time to!
Taking notes now!! I've probably been taking UA-cam seriously for the past 8 years and only at 5k+ subs at the moment I have been consistently uploading one video a week for the past 2 and 1/2 years I know I should probably just stick to a niche but I don't really want to 😂 open too it now I have been monetized since 2012 and have only made $5,016.43...
@@inlovewiththailand correct. Maybe I will get lucky and have a few videos blow up I mostly focus on food, travel and personal finance so I guess that's not too much
@@NicksDynasty each of those separately could even be huge. As you can tell from my profile name, I follow a lot of Thailand content and even a country-specific topic can be big. Just keep at it.
Very helpful! I like what she says at 5:36 about making anything interesting! Life is full of regular/ordinary moments (like laundry lol) we all can benefit from those types of videos.
Hi Shelby! This is a great video!!! Could you please share the link to the lavalier mic that you recommend.?Thanks for all the great content you share:)
I recently sold my condo for $400k and i want to invest the money in the stock market. However, it appears the market is at an all-time high. Should I invest elsewhere or wait for a market correction?
The stock market is risky But staying on the sidelines is riskier. Missing the next bull run will be far more costly to your long-term wealth than getting in at the "right price". Consult a financial advisor if you're unsure how to proceed.
You're right, I and a few Neighbours in Bel-Air Area work with an advisor who prefers we DCA across other prospective sectors. Instead of a lump sum purchase, Following this, my portfolio grew 37% in the last quarter
Mind if I look up your advisr please? I've worked in real estate for over 25 years and have neglected a major stock portfolio. This served me well when I was flipping and renting houses, however I need a different plan now
I've stuck with the popularly ‘’Laura Grace Abels” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up
thank you for putting this out, it has rekindled the fire to my goal... was able to spot Laura after inputting her full name on the web, she seems highly professional with over a decades of experience
Wow! congrats! I'm noticing shorts are how my subscriber count grows too...but it's not always translating to more views for my long form content unfortunately
Keep it up, I also recently monetized ❤ and had many subs from shorts, which can also be harmful as they dont watch the long format from which you earn. And also i have 5k subs but when I upload a long format videos 1/10 of them watch.
She used to use a Shure SM7 and had a great sound. Not sure why she doesn't use it in this video (maybe she didn't bring her audio setup?) but the audio quality is not as good as when she uses her SM7
Some brilliant advice Shelby. I work in a niche area that have very few people who understand the topic. The Engineering industry is also very tight. You could give them the secret to life and they would struggle to buy you a coffee. Its difficult but I will continue on. I will watch this gain and apply some of your tips. You just never know. One of the videos may just pop! 🦘🦘
Authentic video! Never seen her before. Audio is echoing because the room is probably large without soft items around. (Throw it in Auphonics and it will sound great). However I loved your personality and care free mentality. It works!!! Thanks.
Shelby, your videos are always so honest and informative and I absolutely love your channel and the content you create. From informative videos like this to your vlogs, it’s so fun being subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work. 🤍
Interesting and fun video. I've watched several of your videos, ranging from real estate, travel, making youtube vids, etc. So if you had to categorize your own channel, what would your niche be?
Good to know. What you said to do, I have done and am doing. I’m finding that this takes a minute. Subscribers come slowly (at least for me) and the increase in viewership seems to happen slowly too. But, that’s ok. It’s giving me time to learn. This has been quite a journey and I’m sure it will continue to be. So…one thing that would have tightened the learning curve for me would have been a photography course. I couldn’t even work the camera properly. Hell I couldn’t even transfer my videos to the computer. So I just stuck with the iPad. Then I didn’t have enough memory on the iPad to move clips around and put videos together. So I bought the 1 tb iPad. So, yes. As I learn, I make improvements. I never know when a light bulb will come on. But … thank you Shelby. I consider you friend and mentor. It will be a while before I’m doing things with anywhere near the grace, style, and panache that you have. 😮. Shelby….👍🤩
Early in 2020 I was just randomly watching a video by India Batson on how much she made on UA-cam and her video was inspired by the video you mention at 11:54 👍and that's how I found you 😊So the reach of a video can even go beyond the algorithm😎
Thank you so much for not having that Vlogger speak. Man. Everyone on UA-cam seems to talk like they’re so bored and it’s taking lol this was nice. And informative thank you
This is such a great video. You came across like you should be teaching a UA-cam course at a college. The Amalfi video was also wonderful. Yay Shelby!!
Another thing that I think is important is combining your niche with a unique skill you possess. For example if I just did gaming content maybe people would like me for my personality but combining it with my programming skills makes it a bit more interesting. When there are a million UA-camrs out there you need a way to stand out.
I started a YT channel last year about travel and it has been so much fun! Learning how to navigate YT, shooting the video, researching the place and editing the video has been so rewarding. I actually have a video that has over 32k views!
Loved this video. It's just different to all the other videos on how to become successful on UA-cam. I'm curious, what font do you use for your titles on screen? It looks fantastic!
I started an asmr channel at the beginning of this year and am already almost monetized. I just do it occasionally as a hobby and find it's the most fun that way. No pressure.
Thanks for a great video with great tips and I have to say mostly for just getting to the point. Some of these videos just waffle on and don't get to the point so thank you.
The advice about not uploading random vlogs when nobody knows who you are extends to other genres too. In my niche its movie reviews. I always tell people nobody cares your thoughts on a movie when they don't know who you are. In gaming its Lets Play. Why would anyone spend their time watching a random person play a game? Etc etc
I made it my goal this year to be more consistent with my upload schedule even though having a full-time job takes up a huge amount of my time. This March I got monetized and really saw my hard work starting to pay off. However, in the last few months I've noticed that my channel has not grown. I have a very nice community of subscribers (which I'm incredibly grateful for), but I feel like the UA-cam algorithm doesn't push my videos out to the right audience (I see this under video analytics - content suggesting this video). I love making videos from filming to editing, it's become a real passion of mine, but it becomes really frustrating when your hard work isn't reaching a wider audience. Do you have any advice?
my channel casts a wide net. I do Zombie apocalypse vids, review old school Horror movies, and preform magic tricks with a few random topic vids. I kinda hard to find an audience when one's vids are so random
I m on youtube for 4months. I m 67 yrs old. My niche is "Health and Wellness". I find it hard to make my videos interesting and fun. My head is empty I don't know what to say anymore. What can I do?
I think the best time to plant a tree is many years ago. Planting a tree now is in your power though. Thanks for UA-cam tips I hope people and myself make some money on UA-cam

Is Rumble an alternative platform? It's likely UA-cam will censor / de-platform, as I am not at all PC.
