      I'm glad I said some good stuff 😊. I'm sure we creators could go on all day about the struggles of making content. It's SO much fun and also SO much work 😵‍💫. Keep creating 😉😊

    I stutter (Tourette's) and I don't edit it out. I also have ADHD, and comment on it.
    Loved all your points. I make vlogs because I love to. I met a host with thousands of subs earlier this year, he told me my content was "personality driven" and that's spot on.
    I looked at my analytics once, and that was enough for me.
    Love your content and style.

      Thank you!
      I agree about looking at your analytics 🤣... it can be depressing.
      Keep creating and keep having fun 😉🙂

    I am the creator 50 pounds overweight 🙋🏼😂You DO look in the camera and are engaging. Not sure what that dude was smoking. I agree with all of these, but, I do have some hesitation with #8. I think there are a lot of helpful channels with great information, but the problem is, there is too much of it. You really have to take the time to latch on to just a few channels, or else it gets too confusing. A few things I would add if I were doing a similar video, the first, which goes along the lines of "nobody cares," is that I thought right out of the gate I could easily get a hundred friends and family to subscribe 😬I didn't realize that creating a UA-cam account had so many "barriers" to do just that. Secondly, getting views on your channel is so cyclical. Found that out by being a travel channel. Nobody watches in the late Fall to Winter, and finally, how important thumbnails and searchable titles are. I have even gone back to old videos and changed both, to not much available. Once a video is in the toilet, it pretty much stays there 😆🥤

      Hello, fellow creator! I know what you mean about #8. I've found they definitely guide you to good ideas. Maybe I'm just still bitter about wasting money on tub buddy 🤣. Charlie talks about the same issue with friends and family 😂. You are so right about thumbnails and titles! I should've put that in this video. I guees it leaves it open as a part 2... maybe another collaboration idea video 🤔. I agree about once a videos in the toilet it done. I've only had 1 video do terrible, I changed the thumbnail, and now it's one of my better performers. They say your supposed to do the thumbnail first but channels like ours, we don't know what the thumbnail will be till after we do our trip...🤷‍♂️. I'm sure we could go on all day about the struggles of being a creator. End of the day we got monetized and it's fun! Till a video does poorly 😅🤣😂

      I do not have a ring light. This was at a hotel during our trip to Disneyland. Check out the mini series I did on our Disneyland trip. The mini series has gotten rave reviews from as many as 5 people!!

    Honestly and this is not something that I think is good but if you put a bikini in your thumbnail your channel will take off, it is crazy how many channels grow huge by using a bit of sex even though their subject is not related
