I decided back in October to just do a video on what I WANTED to do, which was an empty house tour for our new house. That is the first video that has grown for me. And yall, a lot of my followers have come from SHORTS. And they Return to my channel each week. So try shorts!

    People may say that starting YT channel is saturated because they don't want you to take a piece of cake, well it is not and not even close. I just started three years ago and already crossed 85k\month with two major channels. However, lots of info is missing. I noticed everyone keeps the secrets for themselves, I understood that after reading an eBook. No one is talking on how to outrank competitors videos properly (Which is one of the most important thing), how to gain traffic outside YT, how to do proper off site SEO to gain additional traffic etc...

    I took almost two years off from posting cause I literally got stuck. I had lots of video ideas about a topic I wasn't passionate about, I was doing it cause that's what my audience were looking for. Layering seems like it would work out much better for me. I do want the layers to make sense while allowing me to express myself fully. This video is truly helpful

No more shoulda coulda wouldas. 2023 is the year of execution. Thank you for the constant inspo, Erin.

    I'm starting this week! If my 12-year-old nephew can have a monetized UA-cam channel, then I can too! This video is exactly what I needed to see, especially the part about layering. I want to be able to talk about ALL the creative things I'm passionate about, especially about fashion and my hand-crafted wardrobe, reading and book collecting, maybe a little music, and then a smattering of gardening and art and decorating.

    I made my channel but I have been so fearful to show my face in videos. Seems like all the channels are of young people so that's one fear. I have been watching you for over 2 years and you are so knowledgeable and willing to share. Hoping this will be the year I get over the fear and just start. Planning to start with just shorts as I have a ways to go as far as editing goes. So I will keep watching and gaining some know how. Thanks for the inspo!

    Need work on letting my personality come through on my videos. I’ve been in corporate America so long I deleted several because they seemed so staged like a presentation but very glad I did them because it help me see and to me apart of the process for getting better.
