I'm Erin and I'm a full-time entrepreneur. I have a digital marketing & video production company called Erin On Demand. I teach entrepreneurs how to stand out online through content marketing, digital strategy, and video production. I’ve worked with companies from National Geographic, to local mom & pop shops, helping them create compelling content that attracts their target audience. This channel takes you through my journey of building my business from the ground up, while sharing information on how I market, strategize, and operate in my business… to hopefully help you build yours!

Who else was super relieved when she said do not focus on one niche! 😍😍 I would definitely love to know more

I’m one of those people who was thinking it’s too late, but God put an idea in my spirit and I’m just gonna be obedient. I’m not into posting on social media so this is going to stretch me out of my comfort zone. I appreciate your tips. They were helpful. I think I’m going to be watching the rest of your videos!☺️
Keep growing and helping others. Be blessed.

Learned so much on brand building from Erin within the past year. My biggest takeaway is authenticity + consistency over everything. Great video. I took notes.

2023 is the year for me to grow my YouTube channel with the help of Erin! I’ve been growing my page as a hobby but I’m over trying to keep up with IG. Videos are a joy for me to create and I’m excited to take this to another level

[lifeoflatia]

I just started my YouTube and I do weekly vlogging (for now ) an I had to just do it . I am a person that consistently research an try to make everything perfect but I just did it and went for it. I’m learning to stay focused and be consistent. Thank you for your tips

[dianelogan]

Thank you for mentioning getting straight to the point and no long intros. I just discovered your channel . You are a beautiful soul. I appreciate your insight.

[sprinkleoflight]

My Husband and I are about to start our youtube channel we are so excited I'm not nervous bc this is something I will be passionate about

Hi Erin, this is so helpful and definitely on time. I am wanting to retire within the next 2.5years from a 33 year career. I am an introvert but really want to start a 2nd career after I retire doing something that I Love, which is sewing and embroidering. Watching your videos is really helping to build my confidence. 🙏🏾. TFS

[LakeriaGaines]

Definitely loved this video! It was very helpful! I started my channel last year February and wasn’t consistent and when I actually took it seriously it started to grow! I will be using all of these tips and have already started using majority of them. Thanks Erin 🖤

[MendedMarkbyShekina]

This really helped I was worried that I was doing too much with my channel since I'm just getting started. However, after listening to you I feel more comfortable with showing more of myself to reach my brand persona. Thanks Erin!💖

As a small content creator for YouTube, I know how hard it is to gain traction at the beginning. Like many of you guys, I was tired of creating quality content day after day and getting only a few hundred views on my best days. Buying views was my next move. I have never regretted it. Not only I get quality views for pennies, but those views also affect the algorithm and sometimes my videos go viral and get 4-5 times the initial amount of views. I use Famester for now, it works miracles!

[mrmilestone]

Thanks Erin! I've really struggled to produce one video or more a week. I'm getting my stuff together and hopefully I can be more consistent and hit my growth goals!

[ciscabeauty]

This was such a great video Erin, I recently started my channel and from the beginning incorporating different niches that I am passionate about, instead of just committing to one. This one is so important for creators, I've followed many YouTubers throughout the years and unfollowed them later on, as their content no longer serves me any purpose and they haven't evolved with that information, where I still follow some YouTubers and creators who have evolved and this has helped me love their channel even more!

[StorieDevereaux]

This is such valuable information. I am a Creative Entrepreneur and I used to think it had to be one niche. I am super versatile in who I am and I felt so confined to ONE thing. Thank you for this. You're awesome, Erin. 🖤

[JustMelloU]

Literally one of the best videos, so informative and no fluff. 🌸

[sandypatrick]

I’m so glad you mentioned when YouTubers say “ like, comment, and subscribe “ at the beginning of the video. I feel the exact same way!

[CreatewithStella]

I literally just started on here and I've gotta say; it's perfect timing for me! Repetition is a key point. I'll definitely pick a catchy line and stick with it. And optimization apps are what you say they are, needed! 15 minutes well spent.

[lovephotos]

Yeeees I'm filming the first episodes of my channel in a few weeks 👩🏾‍💻, I needed this! Love yooou! 💃🏾🤗💕

[Kelli_Keith]

I love this video! Very helpful! Fear of just starting is my biggest setback! I feel like it’s so much to just getting started and the fear of failing.

[artsylyfe_k]

I am grateful for this video, thank you! I felt so stuck because all I heard was narrow down to one niche! And who I am is not narrowed down into one thing! A Target Persona is so key!
