I’m curious, especially for those of us starting YouTube later in life. What made you start your YouTube channel in the first place? I tried FB and IG and TikTok but none of these speaks to me. I just dont feel it. Additional for my purpose i think search engine maschine where people come asking questions I have answers to is better for my customer journey and monetisation later on. Your / my job is to be consistent and post videos so potential " customers" find you. How about you? Was it the wish to share your experience, help others, build income, create something of your own, or something that’s harder to put into words, journaling? I’ve noticed that the reason we start, often shapes how we show up on YouTube later, including how we think about content and monetisation , sometimes without us even realising it. I’d really love to hear what your original motivation was.

My name is Jenn. I’ll be 43 in May. I found the group via Alexa’s Freedom Formula course. I actually got it last July after watching her videos on YT for several months. I’m an Introvert and also have some social anxiety, which can make it hard to think of filming a video and putting it out there, but I want to try because I want to help people and make money too. I’m going back through the course. Trying to build up my confidence, not just for this. I’ve started to say affirmations, going deeper than I have before. Actually saying them daily multiple times a day, saying them while I look in a mirror, writing them down daily, and listening to a voice recording of me saying them. One of my current ones is: I release self-doubt and radiate self-confidence. Also thinking about how the late Wayne Dyer talked about seeing where you want to be, not where you are at the moment. For example, when he wrote a book, even before he started writing it, he'd see the book already published in bookstores, in people's hands, etc. Hope wherever you read this your having a blessed day. 🥰

Thank you tribe, someone on here told me to check out ChatGPT, I did, and I am loving it! I think this is a game changer for me. I personally am very direct and to the point. I write that way as well. ChatGPT has helped with adding a warm tone, softening my rough edges! Not to mention, the addition of Broll suggestions, and suggestions on where to insert my personal story. The best part, it writes my shorts, using the script! I will be honest, it took me a bit to be comfortable with the AI technology. Like anything new, use it with caution, don't blindly follow every suggestion. But wow, I am a fan of using it.

Video #2 on hold. Wow 😢😢😢 chronic illness strikes again. In and out of medical appointments. Solution: batch record on the good days as soon as I come back.

I’m planning to start hosting monthly workshops / masterclasses. If you could attend one and walk away with total clarity on something specific, what would it be? Where are you currently stuck? (here are a few ideas, but rather hear from you) - Writing stronger scripts? - Designing thumbnails that actually get clicks? - Packaging your videos for Browse? - Clarifying your personal brand? - Monetizing your channel? - Generating better content ideas? - Creating consistently without burnout? Tell me exactly what you’d want help with. The more specific you are, the better I can build it around what you actually need.
