Hi Alexa! I am coming back to this video after about a year to say thank you. I've been a fan of your videos for a while, but this series was a huge kick in the butt for me. It made a process that seemed insurmountable into something manageable and it helped me realize that I was the only one holding me back. Without this video, I wouldn't have started my channel, which has been a huge source of joy and passion for me. All that to say, thank you for making this series; thank you for making videos; thank you for being you. It is so appreciated.

I like the fact that you get to the point and your videos are not unnecessarily long. Some of the authortube videos feel like they’re wasting my time with fluff around the information. Good job!

I really enjoy your content. You have great advice.. I've been trying for ages to find my subscribers and niche. My goal is to shine more light on multicultural and interracial content, but it is hard. I have two channels, a review channel and a author channel, but I'm struggling with both.

Thank you for this video! It was really helpful, especially the tips about making your channel look professional. I'm launching my channel this year, and I wasn't sure how to make my videos look good while trying to stick to a budget, but with your tips, I think I can pull it off :)

[MKWilliams]

Perfect timing! I know what I'll be watching first thing tomorrow :) trying to optimize my new channel right now

I would love a video about proper equipment, and excited to see that (if you make that particular video)! Thanks Alexa!

This is awesome, thanks Alexa! I'm wanting to start my own authortube channel and this was super helpful 😊

[authorerynblaire-craftingc]

Thanks so much for all these tips! I've just started my channel, and your video will be helpful from here on out. :) Love your channel, btw.

You are amazing. Just started my disaster of a channel this week. Professional videos will happen ... someday!
I'm going to Dragon Con, do you have a table or signing time, or doing the two panels? Thank you for being a huge help.

I have recently decided to go from writing as a hobby to going all in. With this I would like to start an Authortube channel and was hoping that it could actually center more on my research. I incorporate a lot of lore and myths into my writing and would love to talk about origin stories, controversial characters, etc. Over time I may incorporate other things, but this is where I feel I would actually have something to talk about. Would this be a good way to start an Authortube channel?

Have a question for you Alexa, currently writing a YA novel, and a friend asked if I had a love interest for my main character. I honestly wasn't planning on putting one, as I know I'm not very good at writing romance. So the question is, Does YA need love interest in it? and if so why? (maybe video idea)
