My "Get Ready With Me in Five Minutes" video. Filming wasn’t hard, but getting ready in five minutes is truly difficult!
Do you have advice for a reader that wants to start a channel?
I actually made a video called "How to Make Your Dreams Come True," and I go into so much detail in that video series, but here are my top three tips. Make videos you like that really showcase your personality. It’s not as much fun trying to be someone else. Also, make consistent content and post regularly. No one can get into your videos if you don’t make content frequently enough for them to rely on! People like to know you’re sticking around. Finally, have fun! People love to watch someone enjoying themselves—it’s contagious!
