    Need Advice Advice on coming back after a break?

    Hi everyone! I started posting videos about four years ago and then stopped for various reasons. I have recently decided I want to start again and am so much more passionate and confident about the content I'm making/planning to post thanks to the wonderful addition of my husband who not...

    YouTube Question What has been the most successful platform for promoting your content?

    Hi everyone! I'm curious what creators have found to be the most successful platform for promoting their content and bringing in views? Has it been a social media site like twitter, instagram, tiktok, etc.? A forum like this one? I saw someone recently talking about how reddit has caused a...

    YouTube Opinion Endorse a product you don't believe in?

    I think this is more complicated then just immediately siding with a moral no. For many it tends to lean more into a grey zone of moral ambiguity and becomes a larger discussion about the true impact (or lack there of dependent on your views) of a "little white lie". On one hand I...

    YouTube Question What do you find the most challenging aspect of YouTube (don't say getting subs or views)

    Also I posted a very similar thread to yours before seeing this one xD I tried to delete mine as I feel like the topic is covered pretty well here but was unable to figure out how. Sorry about that! Looks like we were on the same wavelength today!

    YouTube Question What do you find the most challenging aspect of YouTube (don't say getting subs or views)

    Amen to that. There is definitely a technical aspect of this that a lot of creators, myself including, don't initially think about. Sometimes that can be the most time consuming aspect of the medium.

    YouTube Question What do you find the most challenging aspect of YouTube (don't say getting subs or views)

    I love everything about this post. You acknowledge a very real challenge that so many people face. Balancing creating with real life schedules and situations which so often take precedence. However, I really enjoy how positive you are and it is clear that you have the dedication and positivity...

    YouTube Question What do you find the most challenging aspect of YouTube (don't say getting subs or views)

    It's so interesting I just posted a video talking about the reason I stopped making videos for awhile and I think reiterating what was said is a great answer to this question. For me the biggest challenge has always been myself. I tend to be an insecure person when it comes to sharing the things...

    YouTube Question What is the biggest personal challenge you've faced creating?

    Hi everyone! My last video talked a little bit about my journey with my creativity and what I've found to be the biggest obstacle when posting youtube videos and sharing my art; my own insecurity. I became extremely critical of myself and it set me back until I found ways to cope and...

    YouTube Question Why did you start a YouTube Channel?

    I understand the parts of this discussing frustration and falling out. I had a very similar experience. I enjoyed making videos but became overly critical of myself and didn't want to post something that wasn't perfect. I think the reason why you do something is important, like you mentioned...

    YouTube Question Why did you start a YouTube Channel?

    I started because I had absolutely zero courage to share my creativity with people in my life. (Which is still kind of true but I'm trying really hard to get over it). I was writing music all the time and it would just sit on my computer. I cared so much about what I was doing. Posting on...

    Music Channel Just making music and trying to keep my plants alive

    Honestly I'm not either. I can't count how many plants I've sent to early deaths (especially in the beginning). But, as with anything, it just takes practice and learning and they really add positively to your life and environment. I highly recommend.
