Are you ready? Have you started? How's it going? What's holding you back? Share below. Thanks for watching! xoxo
Hey Alexa! I just finished an amazing video of yours. I’m loving your positive energy and very much resonate with your messages. So glad to find your channel. 🪷🕉️🦋
@@laurenluff Oh thank you for the kinds words. Warms my heart. Thank you. Have a wonderful day! xoxo
i waited 9 YEARS to post my first video. it went up monday, my 39th birthday. the way it felt like i finally broke the seal and feel confident filming without makeup is insane. i told my bf i was putting it off bc i wanted to do my makeup and he said "this is u tho. film without makeup." it was freeing. i cant wait to see where i can take my channel. 🥰
Hi Alexa , I'm currently taking an online course at think media vra, which focuses on UA-cam, I just started it seems pretty useful so far. Also I've been taking courses in utilizing Ai tools, and learning DaVinci resolve, and general marketing and branding from HubSpot
I have tried to grow my UA-cam channel multiple times but it's hard because I never saw traction, even when I was consistent, but I'm not giving up! I really envision myself being a UA-camr and I know I will be able to grow and find my community on here 💛
Success story videos like yours inspired me to keep going and know it's possible for me, so thank you.
I am almost 72-year-old and I have had a UA-cam channel since March of 24 but I have only put three very short videos on it. I have never been on camera and I have never talked to a camera before and it terrifies me and I know it shouldn't. I am ashamed of it because I have wanted to make videos for about 8 years. I think I will bite the bullet and finally make one this week! Thanks!
Oh wow just go for it! It is terrifying, but once you do it once, it will get easier and easier. I think it will be amazing! I love your voice, it would be great to listen to you share stories about the Appalachian mountains...I went to Appalachian State for a little while in Boone, NC. Those mountains were alive with incredible energy and history. It would be so cool to listen to your stories. Best of luck with it. Comment here if you remember when you post your video and I will go watch it!!! xoxo
@@AlexaSaarenoja I have finally made two videos and uploaded them when you have time take a look at them and tell me what you think what do you think I need to improve on
@@SNAKEDOCTOR-ve8nk I subscribed!!!
@@BrandzHD Thanks I need all the encouragement I can get
I just started a 30 day talking to the camera challenge. I want to build my confidence and speaking skills in front of the camera
Sometimes, I feel like quitting youtube. But, every time I see our chickens, bunnies and gardens,.I can't stop myself from sharing it on youtube.. 😊
Don’t stop ❤❤❤
@@jesswise2354 Thank you. 😘
aww this is totally my niche i wanna subscribe!!
@@by.carlie.lynch. Thank you! 🩷
I just subscribed. I wish you so much success!
I only have 53 subscribers so far and the challenge I face right now is not taking it personally that it is taking longer than I expected to gain subscribers.. I love the creative aspect and connecting with people though so I'm working through it! I agree that so far the positives have far outweighed the negatives for me and challenges are good for the soul!!❤
I'm a 46 year old Dyslexic truck driver
And I'm computer illiterate. I've Wanted to learn more about my PC. Editing filming and all that stuff. I didn't even know how to copy and paste. So I started a UA-cam channel. It's a budgeting channel, cause I enjoy that and about a month and a 1/2 of having the channel. I have almost a 100 subscribers. And everybody is so nice. I'm enjoying doing youtube. I'm learning so much. I wish I had started sooner.
Awesome! Congrats! How amazing is that! Wishing you many more beautiful subs! Thank you for watching. xoxo
Subscribed!
❤❤
"Learn how to be comfortable in discomfort." Definitely part of my YT creator experience.
@@vectrocomputers I am hopeful it will be the same for me
Definitely!
Yea it's like 99.8% of the process! haha We can do it! xoxo Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!
UA-cam and side hustle stacking really is the new having a job.
So true!
This is what I'm finding. I've been laid off 3 times over the past 4 years, now I want to travel more so I'm building this for my husband and I.
Starting new channel on UA-cam can be really tough, so I knew I couldn't afford to waste months trying to get noticed by just a handful of people. Instead of spending months to get few hundred subscribers, I found a shortcut to kickstart organic growth after reaching my first 1000 subs (by using a bit of Famester of course). Once that happened, my main channel has experienced a significant surge, and I have realized that people tend to focus on numbers when searching for content. Having a low subscriber count often means being overlooked, even if your content is top-notch...
All channels start with ZERO subscribers. Tricks to get subscribers are subscribers that will stay and support your channel.
What is famester? Well whatever works! Glad it worked for you! I've grown a channel organically so I think it can work without any extra support...but if it helps, go for it! xoxo
Two months ago, I started my YT channel. Unlike you, I am not as confident in speaking on camera or going live. I enjoy creating content on Canva and have spent about a year putting together relaxing videos to ensure I am well-prepared. After finding the necessary tips and making numerous corrections, I was initially hesitant to upload, but now I thoroughly enjoy creating and sharing videos. I am more active on UA-cam than on other social media platforms, and I frequently watch channels like yours to learn more. Thank you.
Congrats on your UA-cam channel! Wishing you the best with it and thank you for watching! Yes go at your own pace - that’s the best way! Xoxo
407 subscribers so far.. doing travel,exploring,abandoned. & a a little bit of paranormal vlogs videos
The internet needs more positive, passionate energy like yours. Just started my UA-cam channel 2 weeks ago and it's definitely a life changer. Thanks for the uplifting vid.
Absolutely!! And thank YOU for watching!
You sold me. Ive been debating about getting on here and doing a fitness channel. I lost my job of 14 years and struggle financially home schooling my autistic son. I cant really work at a gym or get many clients because he needs so much of my attention. So Ive been thinking about doing free at home workouts for stay at home moms. You got me excited to start. Plus I need positive community. Thanks for this video.
Go for it girl 🎉 Im sure you will rock ❤ All the best 😊
When you upload the right content, like you have done, your tribe will find you. And I'm so glad I found you.
What a warm and fuzzy comment! Thank you for this and happy to have the youtube gods connect us! haha xoxo
I'm loving this trend of reflections at 500 subs...a great way for us to find each other. Keep on going. I'm loving the whole process too and seeing the future of us over 40 content creators (though I'm 59).
Yes, it's wonderful. I agree. We have so much to share with the years behind us! I'm so excited to see so many of us jumping on youtube. woop woop! xoxo
just became #508 for you and even watched some videos to give you the watch time! my goal is to reach 1000 by the end of the year without quitting because some days it feels hard to keep going when there are no results for your time and effort but i will keep trying to reach 1000 by the end of the year without giving up hopefully i can do it 🙏❤
@@AlexaSaarenoja Yes exactly! Linking arms here...banding together for change. Love it.
Lisa, how do you not have more subscribers?! I just checked out your channel and some of your videos - you're on fire girl! Stick with it, I swear you'll pop off soon!!! 😆💪
@@whatsnewamanda Awww thank you. I'm trying so hard to be consistent and it's so hard for me. This was just the encouragement I needed to see today. Thank you!!!!
I was working for a large tech company, and we were all laid off. I decided to take my severance and travel for fun. While traveling, I was inspired to finally start the UA-cam channel I've always dreamed of. I'm currently working on editing my videos. "Wish me luck!" situation 😂 I have my doubts about myself as an interesting presenter, but hopefully, the subject will be appealing. Thanks for these videos, they work as a great pep talk.
Thanks for sharing! Wow how fun to deal with a bad situation. I think going on UA-cam with those videos will be great fun! Wishing you the best with it! ❤️
OMG! Your story about losing your faculty job, is exactly what's happening to me! Just about to end the semester and they're dropping me before the next! No explanation, no f***s given! And I rarely put anything on UA-cam but have been considering doing it more frequently!
DO IT .
I just subscribed to your channel.
BELIEVE WITH FAITH .
its crazy i made a video like this and posted it yesterday and today yours showed up on my feed, i have been doing this for 2 months and have seen a lot of changes as well. i do hope the right people find me and i can also grow because this is my dream. your at over 2k and i hope i can one day be there as well, best of luck moving forward and more success to you!
I checked out your channel and impressed how you have so many subscribers in such a short amount of time with a small view count. That means you have a lot of potential! I checked out your video thumbnails and they seem a bit busy. There is a lot going on, a lot of color, and the text gets lost. Try reducing the number of images and maybe add some depth to the photos. Perhaps reduce how much color and provide a text background so you can read what it says more clearly. Hope that helps and keep on getting after it!
Yep, it's a trending video topic right now! Wishing you the best with your channel! xoxo
Great channel! Once you upload 400 - 600 minutes of video your channel will take off! I have studied 20+ channels, and this is the average upload amount when the channel takes off. Silver and Solo was 393 minutes, BOOM, channel took off.
Oh very interesting! I haven't heard that one before, insider info...how cool! Thank you for sharing. How-to channels I think are a brilliant idea. I know this probably isn't your target market, but I know many widows over 75 that are still living in their homes and have no idea how to fix things like a toilet or replace batteries in say lights on the stove or simple house maintenance because their husbands did it for them. I think they benefit greatly from youtube and I am watching it empower many of the women who feel embarrassed or alone at this time in their life. But anyway, How-to channels are what I spend most of my time on in youtube and I always find the answers I need. So fabulous channel! xoxo Thank you for watching and commenting and I am going to see how many min. I have uploaded now. haha :)
Oh thank you for the info. I'm building my travel channel on 6 platforms with main focus on youtube and tiktok.
@@AlexaSaarenoja Thank you for the kind words! I just need to get back in gear and get creating! I just analyzed your channel, your 61st video is your most popular video (UA-cam Over 45! Ready?!) At this video you have roughly 825 minutes uploaded. Your most popular video is a representation of your target audience, (double down). I saw your channel last week and you had 600+ subscribers, now you have 2.2k, congratulations! You are on your way! I want to make a humble suggestion, it's the only suggestion you will ever hear from me, invest in a microphone, I bought one for narrations, it was $50 on Amazon. You videos have a lot of (low) background static. Just trying to help, not trying to be an annoying dude! Best regards.
Not necessarily
@@saidgrc expand
I sincerely appreciate your authenticity and sharing your back story while confirming why UA-cam is worth it! Thank you so much for your time & best effort in this video. ✨
I am going to stop holding myself back. Im just gonna make UA-cam videos. That's what im called to do! You definitely inspired me to go do it! ❤
You can do it gurl! Just keep moving forward! ❤❤❤ Life really is so short. And time flies by so fast. We only have today! Looking forward to your new content and videos 🎉
@ayteesee man, I really appreciate this comment more than you know. This made my day! Not a lot of people can do that. I hope you have a wonderful day and a good life! 🤍
Late middle-aged dad, young family, young channel in idealist philosophy and esoterica. What you say resonates.
Thank you for saying! I appreciate your comment. Thank you for watching! xoxo
What crazy is when I made I video, I sent it to my family and they were so critical…they told me it was to long! I said well it’s my first video and I want ppl get to know me…they were like no one is gonna watch it…ppl wasn’t to see 30 sec videos….it was a 9 minuet video and i scrubbed it to less than 3! All I have to say is don’t let ppl stop you from starting a channel. Big or small just start! Good luck everyone and great video! I love in-depth videos. I sub’d bcuz u remind me of me!
Love this message!! 100% agree. I'm a full-time working artist and finally decided to take my channel seriously. Haven't posted long-form yet, but in the process of editing. I'm a millennial but still felt weird about going all in on UA-cam...until now. Thank you!
just became #42 for you and even watched some videos to give you the watch time! my goal is to reach 1000 by the end of the year without quitting because some days it feels hard to keep going when there are no results for your time and effort but i will keep trying to reach 1000 by the end of the year without giving up hopefully i can do it 🙏❤
@@Kaurcreates22 You're so sweet! thank you so much. I just followed you back and watched and liked your videos as well
Oh definitely go all in! I think it’s awesome! Thank you for watching! ❤️
Yes, there is a lot of stress in our lives...and believe me, stress is the number one enemy of mental and physical health...and without health you will not survive.
This is why humans need a boost of healthy fun and rest to encourage us to move forward in life
I'm 72 and been working on wanting to do videos on things I've learned. You are an inspiration. I really got caught up in your energy and excitement. Thank you for your insight I feel more confident than ever. I am going to join you on you tube. Bless you and I wish you continued joy and enthusiasm. Thank you for moving me forward.
That's fantastic news! I love it! Go for it. I can't wait to see you grow! xoxo
It truly is a creative outlet, bringing joy to so many other parts of life. Shifting your mindset changes everything
Great testimony on your UA-cam channel journey.❤
You are one of a kind, very talented motivational speaker. Believe me, you’re well above average. That said, the problem is that most people don’t have your talent. Now I agree, that shouldn’t refrain them from trying to do UA-cam. But it’s a fact for everybody who is watching you, that you’re very talented in what you’re doing. Maybe your prior life as a teacher helped you to get this good at talking in front of an audience. You could give training to other people, who wish to become like you.
You're a kind person.Wishing you all the best.
So true! The monotony of a day job can really get to you. The sole purpose I opened a channel is to monetize my passion to break free from traditional employment.
Exactly, let's do this. Ready to break free for sure!
Wow 😍 Great Motivational Story ✨ Thanks 💕 Blessings !
I feel UA-cam is like sent from Heaven 🕊️saving so many thousands the Road to Success 🎉
Hmmm🤔 thinking to be a Faceless UA-camr thinking for a long time to engage in Tourism Travel & Beauty of Nature ☘️ Yea here I come😁am in by the🙏 Grace of God ❣️
Go for it! xoxo
You are so encouraging, thank you 🙏 😊
Just keep on keeping on.
So nice to hear! That’s my goal. We can all do this! Xoxo
This is honestly the best video I have found so far (and I've watched ALOT 🤣) as I've started a you tube channel a few days ago... You are so natural and engaging and humble and down to earth....Thank you for this, it has been very motivating. As a 46 year old Woman, I am also scared... but I think it gives us an edge, we have had so much life experience already and all have gifts and talents and advice to share. It's also, I think, a really special thing if we can pass on some of this experience to someone else who might need it, it takes us out of self and helps us give to others.... so I'm excited about it and you have really motivated me even more. Hearing my own voice is so cringe sometimes 🤣but I think I'll get used to it... Anyway I'm rambling, thanks again for a really special video, you will do amazing because of your authentic awesome self! xox
Hi Alexa , thank you for your videos, you are also leaving a timeless video, that not only your kids but your grandkids your great-grandkids can watch how exciting is that❤
Yes, exactly. Since I am an older mother, it is nice to think they will be able to watch me whenever they miss me if I am not around to meet their children for example. Beautiful coment! xoxo
Yes! I love the taking a risk to go towards a new trajectory. I agree it’s been amazing. I’m very slowly growing and I’m pleased with the whole process.
Slowly growing and improving. Over the past 4 yrs I've been laid off 3 times. Even with a lot of experience I wasn't able to find the same level of income in a new role. Now building my travel channel on 6 platforms and bringing along my travel team.
Fabulous! Wishing you many more suns in the near future! Xoxo
Being in a similar situation job wise and struggling with impostor syndrome in regards to my creative endeavors, this video is a huge inspiration. I'll definitely watch it a few times more on my way to producing and sharing my stuff on yt!
This was so inspiring, and I hope your channel blows up. Thank you!
Thank you Jaros! I appreciate the positive energy! xoxo
I FEEL LIKE THIS VIDEO GONNA CHANGE MY LIFE. GREETINGS FROM MÉXICO!
I love Mexico! Hello from freezing finland! haha xoxo
The thing about any company could let anyone go in a sec is so true! I'm happy to say that I have the same thoughts as you do and today I'm posting my 7th video on UA-cam! Your video is so relatable and gives me the encouragement I need. Nothing is certain but you just gotta have faith in yourself and keep posting and improving! I think it's true! Best of luck to you and all new UA-camrs!
7 is a big accomplishment! You’ve been consistent!
First time I am seeing you, I love your energy, your positive vibe...I am definitely subscribing, I am starting my UA-cam soon actually this month❤
Wow! Subscribers doubled in two weeks. Well done! Thanks for this. I'm just starting to post stuff on my own channel which has been sitting doing nothing for a few years. As an over-40's person with self confidence issues, it is scary but I'm happy to be doing it now. Better late than never, right? :)
Yes, now is the perfect time. So great that you are going for it! Wishing you the best with your channel and many subs! Thank you for watching and commenting. xoxo
just became #31 for you and even watched some videos to give you the watch time! my goal is to reach 1000 by the end of the year without quitting because some days it feels hard to keep going when there are no results for your time and effort but i will keep trying to reach 1000 by the end of the year without giving up hopefully i can do it 🙏❤
@@Kaurcreates22 Oh wow thank you! I will definitely drop by and do the same. :)
I finally got the courage to make a channel I started maybe a couple weeks ago and now I have more than a few videos and I'm having a blast with this honestly I don't care if nobody watches I'm not planning on being big all I know is that it's such a great feeling knowing that I created something that other people could watch as well as myself and family that I have in Mexico
Thanks much and my half hearted holds me back in everything 😢😊❤
What crazy is when I made I video, I sent it to my family and they were so critical…they told me it was to long!

First of all they don’t know what they’re talking about! UA-cam is long-form content and the people who watch videos on here are wanting to watch 20 mins-1 hour depending on the content. So don’t sell yourself short!
Now if you are wanting to focus on Reels then those will definitely have to be about 30 seconds for people to want to consume that form of content.
Hi, just watched your 1st video, I subscribed & watched til the end. Good channel. Thank u.
The magic of youtube is that it doesn't take many subscribers for it to really make a difference for you, I love this platform so much! I just need to find the time to really invest in it! Congratulations on your journey!
THANNNKKKKK YOOOOUUUU!!!!! YOUR VIDEO HAS ACCOMPLISHED IT!!! IM GOING TO LITTLE BY LITTLE BE A UA-camR!!!! YOU HAVE CONVINCED ME!!!
Yes!!!! WOohooo! I am so excited for you it's going to be awesome! xoxo
You’re clearly a teacher… this video is great. Love it ❤
Thank you for your kind words! I lost my job last December and I'm still trying to find work in my field. I'm a scientist, and I was doing important research in the biomedical field. But now, the job market is very tough because many companies have laid off workers, and there are a lot of excellent professionals looking for jobs. While I keep searching, I've started a Lo-Fi music channel. It's been a great way for me to stay creative and positive during this tough time. Thank you again for the encouragement!
I looked over your list of videos. Your thumbnails with your picture are perhaps the best example of thumbnails.
People don't need to show how shocked or excited they are about what they "just discovered." That's not genuine anymore.
*You* show us how others should appear in their thumbnails.
I wish you so much success and fulfillment. You must feel so free.
There's no easy you're 45! You're resonating so much with my experience as well.. youtube has changed my life too in just a couple of short years. Congrats Alexa!
AWesome to hear! Love it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for watching! xoxo
Thanks for your video ❤️ I started my channel around two months ago. It takes a lot of work but I find it very enjoyable. I also find it to be a very kind, supportive community on here 🥰
Woohoo! Congratulations! xoxo Thank you for watching and glad you are having a similar experience with the community!
There are some evergreen topics that have been repressed by UA-cam, particularly men's issues, based on advertising algorithms. So it depends on what your subject matter is within the current social structure.
Oh really?! I haven't experienced that yet. That would be a shame if not all could speak their truth as long as it is not harmful to others. xoxo
You are going to do great!
I’m going to bet that losing your job will turn out to be one of the best things that ever happened to you, when looking back at it in a year or so. Great energy, and you’re a natural motivator!
Keep at it!
Thank you. Change is always worth it, even if it is forced upon us sometimes. It's just the universe telling us what's up! haha Thank you for the comment and positive thoughts. It helps in those moments where I thinking..."what am I thinking" but luckily I'm just crazy enough to keep believing in big dreams! Thank you for the kind words! Xoxo
@@AlexaSaarenoja I think that "crazy enough to keep believing in big dreams" is one of the greatest assets we can have. Keep Believing and Dreaming Big!!
Thank you for this! I’ve been procrastinating with the most creative excuses for two years 🤦🏻♀️. You “just happened” to drop into my feed today. Wishing both of us success 😉
Wow! Your perservance and drive is amazing! The passion you have is amazing. Sounds like you have been through lots of things, but have held fast to your dreams. I love creating because if I can make someone smile it means alot. 😇 So happy for you,and anyone who enjoys what they do😃
Thank you so much! Let's live our passion!! xoxo
Thanks for your positive and motivating energy 🙏❤️
Loved your video very positive ❤
To encourage you, I applied to your channel. I will restart mine since the beginning more seriously too. I think that UA-cam can be a great community to exchange experience of life, of everything and here we are not simple numbers because we will take care of each other. 😉
Great words, I’ve more than 100 subs. Happy for it ..awaiting for more
My wife has had several experiences like this as a teacher's assistant, a 1-on-1, EC teacher.
Thanks for the inspiration! I resonate with Everything you’ve said about UA-cam! I learned so much from creating a website and blog, but I think UA-cam sounds even more fun!
UA-cam is much more fun! I have created a blog and websites as well in the past, I think this is much more fun and easier on some levels! Wishing you the best! xoxo
I just reached 64 subs after 2 years.i make car content so its not really easy to make videos everyday cause it cost money but i think in like another 5 years ill be where i want to be.Never give up guys
Hi thank you for your inspiring video, i have very similar experience as you and i believe the universe force me to go into another direction. This has brought me encouragement and hope for boosting self belief.
In all honesty, I think the universe knows best! Wishing you the best in life and your future endeavours both on and off youtube. Hang in there, you've got this. Life only knocks you down to make you better. I don't think it is ever malicious, but more for growth and rocketing you to the place where you are supposed to be in life. Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like heck, but you've got this! Sending you motivating energy! xoxo
Hi, I'm at the start first week with 4 subscribers so I'm watching your series on getting to monetization. Thanks for all the info!
Oh how lovely! Welcome to my channel. Happy to have you here. Yea! Thank you for watching my videos. I'm now planning a sort of youtube starter kit for getting your first 500 subs (for free), so I'll be posting a video about that when it's completed! Thanks again for watching, I truly appreciate it and best of luck to you on your journey.
Wow, this encouraged me much more than I expected! Thank you for this content. Maybe this is the week I start my own channel. 😊
I can relate to so much here! Great video and so many valid points! 😊😊
Thank you Sierra! xoxo
Really great advice! You’re an encouraging teacher! Thank you!
Thank YOU! xoxo
Jeez! I'm so hyped up right now! You are a great motivational speaker too!
Thank you that is a huge compliment for me. I really appreciate it and thank you for watching! xoxo
I decided two days ago to finally come back at 40! A famous youtuber told me to own my 40's! So talk about all about health and lifestyle which is what I already love and do! You just motivated me more!
Love it! Congrats on all your subs doing and talking about what you love. You have inspired me right back! Thank you! xoxo
You're so easy to listen to and spoke nothing but facts. Thanks for sharing!
Owah! Thank you for the kind words. Thank you for watching. I appreciate it! xoxo
Good for you! Happy for you and your new journey. Welcome to creator community!
Why thank you! I am having a blast. It's a wonderful place to be! xoxo
Awesome energy and enthusiasm and encouragement, well done miss! Cheers!
This is such a great motivational video!!!
We can do this. Let‘s go! ❤
Alexa thank you for your uplifting words very encouraged I need it today God bless you, I need to start my channel that I have for Years to Help Business Owners to Growth and multiply their business and profit. 🥰😇🥳
Thank you for sharing your encouragement, its very refreshing and You did pop up on your other walking video and so much that I needed to hear.
Tyank you❤
Woohoo! Wishing you the best! ❤️
I absolutely love this. I feel like I can relate to some parts of your journey. Also, I used to hate those looooong pointless weekly o bi-weekly meetings. Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Haha, why do they do those meetings....no one enjoys them! Just send an email poll around or something haha Thanks for watching! xoxo
Love this!! I couldn’t agree more. My channel is still small, but I’ve already met a ton of people who I genuinely refer to as friends now. I’ve travelled to meet those people in person and it has literally changed my life.
Your channel is huge in my opinion! But that's really cool to hear that you have gone to meet the people you are conversing with in youtube. Sounds lovely! xoxo
I agree with you! I have noticed a boost in my confidence level, and my overall mood just by posting! I look forward to working on my videos and love learning all the things to go along with the process. I only wish I had more time every week to devote to it, but that will come! I have made it my goal to do this full time so that is what I am going to work towards. I was having the conversation of being disposable at work with my husband yesterday. It’s sad but true no matter how good you are at what you do there is always a chance it can disappear. Doing something for yourself and that you truly love is so fulfilling! Thank you for sharing your story and your passion, it is very inspiring! ❤
That's awesome. I mean, who knew youtube of all places would be a confidence and mood booster. It's pretty crazy, but it is! Glad you are having so much fun as well. It sounds like you are committed and in your spare moments you will be able to built a great channel. I've heard in so many places you only really need to post one video a week to grow, so that's probably doable for most people. Keep going!!! xoxox Thank you for watching, I appreciate it again!!
thank you so much for the encouragement Alexa, love your positive attitude. I'm exactly at the point you were on the video, and I 3000% agree with everything you said. I wish you the best and I'm sure your channel will be huge!
You are so kind, thank you for the encouraging words. Happy to hear you could relate to this. WIshing you the best as well! Have fun, share wisdom and grow, grow, grow! xoxo
Great reminder, needed that!!❤
No problem, thanks for watching. xoxo
I'm so happy for you! Thank you for this video. I'm slowly gaining the courage to put myself out there on UA-cam
Woohoo!! Go for it! xoxo
1:35 that's exactly when Life teaches you a lesson on humility and makes us remember we are not in control of everything no matter how good we believe to be. There is more to life than believing one is too cool for school😂 Stay grounded to Earth and do not believe yourself to be indispensable so when the lesson comes, and they will come, the shock is not so tough. I see this a lot with europeans, they seem to believe they control everything and i see how life teaches them good lessons in humility and control.
Love this! I really needed to hear this. Thank you❤
You're welcome! Feeling grateful that I could be the one to inspire you today! Thank you for watching. xoxo

Wow thank you for such kind words! Wishing you the best! xoxo
This is such an awesome video, gave me a pep talk to start posting the videos on my channel - really feels like a community and I loved hearing about your experience. This is something raw, real and different - don’t change!
Am so glad I clicked to watch! I have been really reconsidering starting on UA-cam- but this gave me a smile and a giggle sometimes watching and am grateful for the push again to focus on it and not listen to my imposter syndrome, and do this properly! Thank you!! 🎉❤
So nice to hear! If you really want more encouragement I would watchi this video, where I am sweating and walking and basically showing people that anyone can start on youtube...what's great about that video is that it proves you can get started with nothing but a phone and your voice. Many people have said they really felt like "I could do that" after watching that video....so if you want to watch it, no pressure of course, just want to help encouage you some more...here it is: ua-cam.com/video/sYqMrlbb2wU/v-deo.html Thank you for watching and commenting. I wish you the best with your channel!!! xoxo
Thank you for the inspiration
You're welcome! Thank you for watching! xoxo
This was such a wonderful video! Seriously thank you…I needed to hear this to keep going and growing my channel
Keep going!!! xoxo
Thanks for sharing your experience 👊🏼😎
I love tour joy and positivity!! ❤🎉
dammnnn!! i am watching this video 3 weeks after you released it and in that 3 weeks, you have gone from 500 subscribers to around 2.7k. subscribers. that’s amazing!
it also proves your point that things. can change and improve very quickly for creators on youtuve.
Thank you for the inspiration! You helped me take the leap 🎉😱😃
I love your energy and enthusiasm. You make creating UA-cam videos more realistic and “doable.” Thanks for the information.
Thank you for the kind words and great to hear it sounds more "doable"! Go, go, grow!! Thank you for watching. xoxo
Thank you so much for this push and inspiration. I have been writing sooo many scripts for eventual YT videos, researching about how to do filming, editing, etc. I have been diverting my attention and energy into "learning" instead of just pressing that record button on my phone... Great advices, I definitely need to take action even imperfectly. At 51, it is time for me to create the lifestyle I want by being the creator I want to be even while I still work at a repetitive job and take a chance to quit before retirement age.... Thank youfor this video.
As an obsessive learner - I totally hear you! Been there always learning and applying but not "out there", now is the time! Go for it. You are in a great position to try having a job and planning ahead for your retirement years! Wishing you the best! xoxo
Show me the ways masta !!
Super job! I’m going to subscribe and check out your other videos as well. Thank you for being you!
Thank you Michelle! I appreciate your kind words and sub. xoxo
