My channel started off barely getting any views for the first few months and then I changed the way I interacted with my audience and then I suddenly started getting thousands of views! Keep working hard and make sure to stay consistent, you WILL get there, it's just a matter of how much effort you put into your videos. Good luck everyone!

I already sent good vibes your way. They are coming, & there's no way to stop them! May all your YouTube dreams come true. 💗 Dr. Liz

I switched from using my bulky Limo Studio umbrella lights to my Elgato Key Lights and the convenience alone is so so worth it!

I recently use the ring light for my videos and they enhanced my overall video quality. Definitely will need this tips in the future once i upgrade my gear. Thank you Think Media 😇.

I am going to try and use this for my newer vids. Thank you!

NICE!!! That 45 degree angle tip was fantastic! I had never even thought about that!!

[FollowMagicBrad]

Thanks for these tips. I like to use lighting that is natural to the environment and circumstances.

As long as you can see the images and the content is relevant and sincere then we are on a track to a good relationship.

Hi there love this video! Mind suggesting me what should i do when i only have 1 softbox? Should i turn my room light on or just use the softbox for the only lighting? And my camera doesn’t have the control of the kelvin.
