Hi everyone,
Many of you may not know but I actually have a YouTube channel. I have been doing YouTube for roughly 3 months now and I love it. So I thought today I would write a post to tell you about why I started YouTube. I am also going to include what I love about it and give you a little insight into what my channel is all about.
So as you can probably tell this blog post is going to be a bit more chatty and less pictures. So I will try and keep it short but sweet.
I started YouTube because I had been watching youtuber's for what felt like forever. I loved watching other peoples videos, everything interested me. From the way they film, the quality of their videos and the incredible amounts of confidence they oozed in every video. It had always been something that interested me and I thought for a good few years that I should do it. But if you have been reading my blog for quite a while you will know I am not the most confident coin out there. I need a little push to help me along. Like my blog, without the kind and inspirational words of my manager at work, this may have never happened. So when it came to YouTube I still needed that push. It was on my bucket list for this year, but I was aiming more end of the year than beginning. Then one day I am sorting out a post to publish on here and the video I wanted to attach was too large. I spoke to a good blogger friend of mine and she convinced me that if I wanted people to see my video I had made and spent 5 hours editing, YouTube was the way. That's how it all started.
I will be 100% honest with you, like I always am, I don't own any fancy high tech gear. I film and edit all my videos on my IPhone. Yes you read that right, everything is done on my trusty IPhone. I do plan on getting a camera in the future and a better laptop so I can edit my videos to the best standard. But these things come. All that really matters is that I LOVE making videos. Yes mine are not the best quality videos out there, but believe me I am trying, and I love what I do.
Others things I love about YouTube and another reason I wanted to start is that it is an amazing way to meet new people. Also it is in my opinion an amazing place for my readers to go. As it is a place where they actually get to see me. This then gives all you guys a chance to get to know me and get a better understanding of who I am.
If your thinking of starting YouTube please bare in mind, its hard work. Yes that's right I said hard work. But trust me when I say its worth it. I have 7 subscribers. Yes I know that's not that many, but every time it goes up I get a little wave of excitement. Hard work really pays off. I honestly believe that you should do something that makes you happy, and for me this does. I work a full time job as a hairdresser, and in my spare time I blog and make YouTube videos. I couldn't be happier about this situation at all. Yes sometimes it hard to explain to clients what I do in my free time, but I wouldn't change it for the world.
My channel is all about the things in life I love. Just like my blog. Think beauty, hair and lifestyle videos. I am also hoping to get out some baking videos. If this interests you let me know in the comments. Also if there is any videos you would like to see me do please do let me know in the comments.
I hope you have enjoyed this little post about why I started YouTube and what I think about it. I hope I didn't rant too much. If I did I am sorry I am just passionate about what I do. If you would like to check out my YouTube channel you will find that here. I will be so grateful if you do and while your there I would love if you subscribed and left me a comment saying you are from my blog. I hope you are all having an awesome week.
Love
