Hi! 👋 Newbie-ish ADHDer here that keeps coming back after distractions but hasn't started interacting much yet. I'm Angie, or Angela, whichever you want to call me (one side of my family calls me one way, and the other side another way, and it's all the same to me). I'm wondering about your experiences with something - have any of you just went ahead and posted something right after videoing, that ideally you would edit, but you want to get it up before you get lost in something else (maybe other ADHDers out there thinking this way -?) and then did you go back and put up a more polished version later? If so, how'd that go for you? I'm imagining there's reasons to not do this, that probably outweigh the benefit(s?), but knowing them would be helpful for me too. Thank you all for sharing your experiences and thoughts on this!

Pick something you love, film with what you have, and keep learning as you go. Don’t wait for perfect — your first video is your biggest step forward. Who else is starting a channel this year?

Hi guys, I wanted to share some exciting news with you—I’ve been offered my first brand deal with Daolar, a company renowned for creating innovative EV chargers designed to save time and energy. They’ve proposed sending me a free charger to review honestly with my audience, and since this is a significant milestone for my channel, I wanted to take you along on this journey and outline the careful steps I’m taking. To start, I’m diving deep into research about Daolar and their product lineup. I’ll explore their official websites (https://www.daolar.com/, https://de.daolar.com/, https://eu.daolar.com/) to get a comprehensive understanding of their offerings, such as the Type 2 EV Charging Cables, Mobile Wallboxes, and other models showcased in their catalog. Next, I’ll search YouTube for existing reviews from other creators to gather insights, spot any potential concerns, and see how these products are perceived by the community. This will help me approach my review with a well-rounded perspective. Most importantly, I’m committed to ensuring this opportunity aligns with the integrity of The Electric Oracle. I’ll meticulously verify Daolar’s certifications to confirm the product meets stringent safety and quality standards. Beyond that, I’ll assess whether the collaboration fits my channel’s brand—focused on reliable, viewer-friendly EV content—and ensure the company has a solid reputation. I won’t just accept the deal outright; I need to be fully confident that it’s safe for my viewers and upholds the trust placed in me. If any red flags arise during this process, I’ll reconsider moving forward. Looking ahead, I’m excited about the potential growth this could bring. As views on my channel increase, I anticipate more of these opportunities coming my way. With that growth, I plan to leverage my audience size to negotiate better terms, ensuring any future deals reflect the value my community brings. This first step with Daolar is just the beginning, and I’m eager to see how it unfolds.

The amount of people pitching their services in here has me frustrated slightly. I am going back to approving all members again. Which means there might be a slight delay when new members sign up, but perhaps that will be better than having to remove like 15 members every other minute. haha I'm considering a paid community (again - because of this) for those of you who would be interested. Could you let me know below your thoughts? I want to keep this one free because it's important to me that information is accessible to all, however I know a lot of you just want to focus on your channel and advice from each other without the extra noise. Price point less than 20$

Hey Everyone - for those of you that have been following my journey know that I have a business mentor, Harut of the Achieve Greatness community here in skool. I will be interviewing him for a youtube video on Friday of this week. If any of you would like to submit questions to ask him that I could include in the video - post them below. If not, no worries!
