What I Learned in My First Months Of YouTube

I did something that for a while I thought I would never do, even though I’ve wanted to for so long and that was to start my YouTube channel. 




It’s been two month since I started YouTube! I’m am really proud that I’ve finally put myself out there.  While it’s not as easy as it seems, being on YouTube is totally worth it! I love watching the number of views I have increase and I love that people are watching even though I only have 17 subscribers.

I started my channel with the plan to weekly vlog and after a month I started with more traditional sit down videos, I have only done 2 but I hope to do more as the weeks go by! 

I have found that vlogging is a great way to reflect on your week/ month/ life. Before I started vlogging, I thought my life was really boring and plain but the more I vlog I realize most people’s lives are boring but it’s the moments in between that make it worth remembering. 

It can be very hard balancing my personal life/ work life and YouTube life but everyone I've spoken to says they've been there, so at least I know I'm not alone.

I have learned that I have to get better at capturing my day. I still forget to vlog a lot and I feel like I’ve missed some fun moments worth remembering. Another thing I learned is that not every video will be perfect, its hard to talk to a camera sometimes. Being active on social media is also super important when it comes to growing a channel. I don' think mine is growing very much now but I'm hoping that will change as I get better managing my time.

I know so many “big YouTuber” say this but, if being on YouTube is something you want to do, GO FOR IT. It is totally worth it. Some days it might take hours to film a single video, but that's Put yourself out there!  Now that I’m uploading I can’t ever see myself stopping. I’ll leave a link to my channel down below and I’d love it you all would watch!

Until Next Time,

Bexs
