Hey! Today I wanted to discuss why I started YouTube/blogging and what it's like. I haven't been doing it for long, but I really enjoy it. That brings me to my first point. I blog and make videos because I ENJOY it and not for any other reason. If you have to force yourself to do videos or post regularly than, it's probably not the thing for you.
Anyway, I was inspired to start YouTube and blogging by some youtubers that I watch. I watch too many people and if I had a record to see how many videos I've watched in the last year, I think I'd want to crawl into a hole for a week. However, seeing their videos made me want to create my own. It looked like so much fun and I started filming clips on my laptop and editing them. I'd love seeing how it all came together and the final result.

One Christmas I received a video editor, camera and tripod. I couldn't wait to start filming on it and editing and I was sooooo happy! It really helps to have a good/okay quality camera and make sure you be yourself! Don't come across as fake. if you find it hard at first, keep going. You'll become more and more comfortable around the camera. Another very important thing to remember is that it's not all about views. Sure, views and subscribers are great and every time someone subscribes/follows me or comments on something I do, I get so happy, however, don't try and force people to subscribe to you, it takes time and effort to earn an audience. If you want to subtly let people know about your channel, get social media, mention other accounts on the social media or tweet/post about it every so often.
Moving onto blogging. Blogging is extremely hard at first, I always get writers block. if this happens, don't post. If you have a good idea blog about. People would rather have good quality content than a average post every day. At first my posts were extremely short, however you get more used to it and they tend to become longer. Post about relatable interesting things and people will enjoy it. I think one of the best things about all this, is knowing that someone enjoys something that I have created:-)
Question of the blog: Do you blog/make videos?
