i'm a youtuber from Bangkok Thailand. I just finished your guideline for starting my own youtube channel. I love your guideline. It helps so much to be clear with what i'm going to do. It set up a solid plan for building up my little channel.


thank you so much with LOVE


keep doing and keep going with what you are good at.

I am currently very guilty of procrastinating starting my channel 😫 this video came at a good time

[LuuFromMars]

A big reason why I have been putting it off is because I´m bilingual and don´t know in what language to do my videos in, English or Spanish? D:

I´ve been debating over it for years, I consider English is more universal and might reach more people, and also people from where I live will less likely see my videos (feel embarrassed starting and finding out someone from college could see me online haha). But sometimes I wanna talk about certain stuff that is more local/regional.

Thought about adding CC subtitles.

I started YouTube then immediately stopped cause I was like I HAVE NO TIME AND IM SO BAD AT EVERYTHING AH!!! but now I think I'm gonna start again because even though I'm not perfect, the only way to get better is practice. I have to stop worrying about what other people want and try to have fun doing what I want.

i actually screamed when u uploaded! I love this channel

[KanishkaASilentObserver]

you are so so helpful..when I started thinking about starting my own channel I thought I'd do some research but it's worst ...you find thousands of advices, thousands of things to make u feel intimidated but when I found your channel I stopped looking for more....you have best and ACCURATE tips, advices and guidelines one can follow ...super love your channel 💕

[PickingKaleE]

I just want to say thank to you, this was the first video I watched that inspired me to create my channel two years ago and it is starting the take off. I've watch all of your videos and implemented your strategies on tags, cover art, video intros, lighting, themes... You advice has been invaluable and my channel wouldn't be what it is without your advice. I wanted to share this and let you know that I am grateful for you :).

Best filming tip I got was to cover a lamp with parchment paper....perfect filming light! Idk if I would ever use anything else :P

"Stop preparing and start doing." I need to say that fifty times after I wake up!

[TabithaKay]

Thank you for this quick yet informative video!! You had some great tips! I like how you said don’t wait until you have everything together to start your YouTube channel. That is a major key!!! I know I was very hesitant of starting my channel because I didn’t have xyz or better yet couldn’t afford all the equipment. I just started recording with iPhone and still do that to date. My goal is to get a good camera, backdrop/clean background, and lighting so my messages can be professionally explained but until that time come... I will continue doing what I have been doing to remain consistent. Thanks again for this awesome video!!

[evergirlglow]

OMg thank you so so much!! Girl you dont even understand how much you have helped me worry this video and i indend on continuously watching liking and probably commenting on and sharing your videos because everything is so precise clear and very practical advice and lastly i love the layout sheets idea i will be filling them. Much love, hope your channel continues to thrive, and thanx again💕💜💙💚😄

[jackmoser]

[kallmekrissarchivetiktoks]

That prepare for nothing tip is REALLY IMPORTANT. I wish I knew that when I first started

[civilpeople]

I started without preparation but now working on making my channel visible...Brainstorming is really important...thank you☺

[blankpaperstudios]

I'm still sooo bad about pre-filming. I am literally always working video to video. I feel like pre-filming would make things so much easier.

[NoraTKD]

Another great video, thank you for reminding me of these tips again Michelle! :) I have already binge watched all of your videos before I started my channel, your tips are great and useful, thank you! :) Now I should get to work! xoxo

[Meagols]

Hi Michelle! Your video came up as a YouTube recommendation. I was pleasantly surprised on your ideas. You've motivated to get things started for my channel. Thank you

[mamagina]

I've been doing YouTube for about 3 months now and I still couldn't reach 50 subs while other people hit like 2000 already. It's so frustrating but I guess I'll just not give up and keep going. ☺

[taylorwells]

i'm starting my youtube channel in the next few days and just wanted to thank you for this specific video! it's helped me learn a lot and prepare.
