  • Hey guys I wanted to make this video to help people. I get asked everyday advice about starting a channel and I wanted to give right truthful advice. UA-cam is hard work, but if you are passionate I believe you can make it happen. I hope this video answered questions and most of all inspired. xo - Laura

    I'm new to making videos, The biggest problem I'm facing is getting the courage to promote it on instagram or Facebook, where ppl I actually know see me. I know some pretty mean and "judgey" people, how do you get past that shyness?

    • @LindsseyLew
      @LindsseyLew 7 років тому +137

      I know you're not asking me lol but girl I had the same issue posting on my facebook and instagram but I finally did. I still feel a little awkward when I do it but I realized that a lot of my friends are actually into my videos and watch them regularly without me even realizing it. You just have to take the first step and do it! :)

    • @daynalien
      @daynalien 7 років тому +38

      I feel the exact same way!! It's so scary putting yourself out there....I'm just sticking to UA-cam until I feel courageous enough to post on IG.... Good luck sweetie!!!

      @KatieoftheNight 7 років тому +40

      omg that's my problem too! when i started i was unsure - do i want to start from the ground up, or tell my friends and family what i'm doing? so far i've only told like one person i know.

    As someone who has been doing UA-cam for many years, you've hit a lot of great points and have encouraged me to keep pushing! Although I'm not much of a makeup channel, everything you're saying still holds true. UA-cam has been one of the most hard and demanding things I've done, but the reward is amazing. I've struggled to stay consistent because I lost sight of my goals and my passion weakens. Thanks for helping me see clearly again! 🙂

    This is by far one of the best UA-cam advice videos, I'm starting to post twice a week, but the only thing for me is figuring out what my channel is about. I'm just like you as far as personality I'm a crazy and goofy person and I want to show that, but I see myself doing more hair videos because that's what people like to see from me (based off my views) and by you saying don't let people run your channel that just inspired me to post what I want and if people don't like it and want to unsubscribe that's fine at least I know who my real "fans" are.

    I LOVE how honest this is. I am in that little transition right now, finishing paying off my Macbook this month. Constantly trying to improve. This is 100% worth it. I get the same weird reactions to people hearing what I do, but this is all I could ever ask for as a career. This is all that I want. Thank you for more inspiration.

    I literally want to cry watching this and yes, I know it’s an older video, but Laura, genuinely Thank You! I feel so passionate about all of this but I am so scared - so scared in fact, that I was hesitant to even search tutorials on doing this because I was so scared of making this real and actually being vulnerable. Listening to you talk and explain the process was such a blessing to me. Thank you so much!!

  • @prettyfallon

    Thank you so much for making this video!! Appreciate it so much!! My son is a UA-cam hit from 4yo to now almost 14yo. So I’m now deciding to enter the UA-cam world doing make up, DIY & funny videos with my 3yo. This was the most honest video on UA-cam for those of us just starting out. 💕🙏🏼

    I totally get this. I'm a mom of 3 and full time worker and I've been doing UA-cam for 2 years. I am almost at 5k subs. So I'm growing really slow lol. People in my real life ask me all the time why I still do it. I tell them it's because I do this for me! This is something that I get to have for myself since my job and my kids take up all of my other time. Lol it's just something that I love and that's why I do it! 😊

    Thanks for your advice. I started about a. year ago& I have a lot of ideas. You have helped me greatly. I am going back to College. I started writing songs last year too. I started making inventions too. Every thing started after I opened the UA-cam channel not even knowing that I started a Channel or even knowing much about. I didn't watch a lot of You Tube before. Shalom and blessings! Have a great and blessed day! Amen Hallelujah! Shalom! GBY!

  • @stephaniebooth9951
    @stephaniebooth9951 6 років тому +1

    Thank you for being so open. I only see the polished side of the videos, so I thought I had to get it right from the get-go, which is paralyzing. I’ve been on the fence for so long about putting my goofy self out there. I’m a Realtor and most people in real estate are stuffy and create stuffy content. I want to help people and make it fun in the process. I’m so freakin’ awkward on camera and that has stopped me. Your advice helped me see that it’s a process and it will evolve as time goes on.

      My family thought it was weird at first too and they didn't understand why I wanted to do it. Now they are on board. I don't think I would be able to record around them. But they do watch my videos and then talk to me about them and give me advice on things I can do to make it better for the next video.

      I've been doing youtube for over 2 yrs now and my biggest difficulty is being consistent! With juggling school, and my mother keep telling me to get a "real" job (because she thinks this is just a hobby I like to do) It's hard to keep motivated. But Im working on it though because I know making videos is something I love to do and I see myself doing this for a long time.

    my biggest thing was getting over the fact that eventually people from school would find my youtube channel, and when it finally did happen it was the most awkward thing ever and i literally wanted to go home that night and delete my channel- that was 2 months ago and i’m so glad that i didn’t delete my channel. i hated thinking that kids from my school saw my videos but i didn’t want that to stop me and now i’m comfortable talking about my channel at school and i’m so glad that i gained that confidence!!

    I know you probably won’t see this, but I just want to say THANK YOU. Thank you thank you thank you! For filming this, because of this video I finally took the leap I’ve been wanting to take for the absolute longest. I started my own beauty channel. & honestly there was no awkwardness for me behind the camera or to sit there & film & upload. Now I’ve only done 3, but I’ve been uploading lately every other day. But I just wanted to say thank you Laura, for getting me to take the jump that I’ve been wanting to do for so long. I’ve always been passionate about make up but just got really serious about it, almost a year & a half ago. So thank you again, so much.

    I appreciate this video so much because I am just starting out on UA-cam and all these worries run through my head regarding hate/people won't like my content/don't have a lot of makeup because I want to grow in the beauty area. But I've come to realise that being yourself is super important because no-one else can copy your personality and it makes your channel/videos unique! Just having that little extra support from big youtuber's for the smaller youtuber's really helps :) Love you Laura! xoxo

    This video is what made me start my channel. I still think about it to this day. It has stuck with me! I have not been consistent enough and I'm going to start by doing VLOGMAS. I'm excited to get back into this!!!
