"Be yourself, show up as you are, and you will be taken care of" - if you heard NOTHING else from this video. A Whole message.

Yes yes yes. Girl I am so happy someone finally said that “niching” down is not a thing anymore. I never felt connected to that especially as someone who is multi passionate and felt like I was putting myself in a box to get followers and then what, I can’t ever be anything else? So thank you for sharing this. Love watching your videos and you inspire me to get back on YouTube 💗

When I first started I saw myself trying to embody what I was watching another creators but now I realize personality carries you!

I love the concept of content creating. There's a human need to have entertainment but a lot of people do not like TV, the news is dying, Netflix and Hulu are too expensive for never offering good selections. People are starting to care about entertainment that makes them a better person rather than wasting time. AND SO WE EVOLVE to be our own entertainers while bringing a lot of enrichment to people's lives. I've been so inspired and learned SO much from YouTube.

The more I watch content creators on YouTube, the more I realize the importance of being your authentic self is one of the main reasons their page is successful. It draws people to your YouTube channel. New subscriber 😊

So beautiful. I thought content creation was more of *presenting* yourself but now I'm realizing it's really just *being* yourself. There's no need to "find" that niche or position yourself properly. Be yourself... there's no better positioning than that.

[SaharaKnows]

most content creators aren't being themselves either. alot of "influencers" are pushing narratives, products, & lifestyle just for money. let's be real.

I wish I had this video back when I was starting. I was so mad because I had great content but wasn't getting any attention. 1k was mission impossible. I was lucky when I found out I can boost my channel with initial subs just enough to start getting noticed. I got myself first couple of hundred subs for very low price (I have personally used a bit of Famester). After that my main channel gained a ton of organic traffic.

The moment I started putting my authentic self out there and sharing my story, I gained over 1k subscribers in less than a month. Doing this also allowed me make deeper connections and grow my ideal audience ❤️

[dayerlise]

Love this! I’ve noticed that sometimes I’m afraid of being my authentic self online but I’m realizing God has a plan for me and I’m starting to focus on being a better me when I get back to posting youtube videos soon!

[mie_holm]

Finally somebody said it!🧡 Ever since I started building my online presence, I felt like niching was incredibly counter productive. I had so many things I was interested in, and it felt unnatural to pick ONE topic, and making that your entire identity. Thank you for making these kind of videos!🧡

"we need to see more people be authentically as themselves" damn that's good advice

[TheCarlaProject]

this is so true. i wanted to clean up my life and figure out how to get organized cuz i was so overwhelmed all the time. started documenting it with my iphone just for fun never with the thought to turn it into a career but now it is my full time thing just one year later which is crazy. i literally get paid to live my messy life and improve it. it's a dream!!!

[annaphotiou]

Soo so SOO true. This is so valuable for me hearing that, because as a multi passionate person the "just focus on a niche" phrase always makes me feel so caged and paralyzied because this is not who I am. I like multi dimensional personalities and people need to understand that this is the new norm.

[ottier]

I have been scared that my content wont be perfect or entertaining... im scared of failure...
but i will be taking the leap very soon to create a online presence from scratch with no friends outside of family.
as for my negative thoughts, i am working on them. I do not want to create content i am not myself in and i dont want content i make to be something i dont feel strongly about, or over something i enjoy like art or anime and mental health.

[aredamancylife]

Shout out to the YouTube algorithm for showing me this video, I truly truly appreciate you and talking about this. I have been struggling with this specifically and now feel so much more confident in moving forward with starting my channel! Thank you Lynette! <3

[nicolemjohnson]

You’re the first influencer that I’ve heard the advice about not being so concerned about the niche and I love that. For so long I’ve been struggling with figuring out how to be more niche on my content but it never felt good because it was only pieces of me and I want to share ALL of me. Thank you for this!

[hellothere]

She so right! When I first started my channel I was doing things just because other YouTubers was doing them and it wasn’t working for me. Now that I be my authentic self on my channel and actually sharing my journey I’m helping others and Im not even at a thousand subscribers yet!❤️ I’m almost monetized without no promotion simply sharing my experiences & being me!

[BrielleJuliet]

You’re incredibly inspiring!! Seeing how much you’ve grown both as a person and a creator over the past couple years is crazy. It’s so motivating to see how drastically and quickly things can change, you move with such powerful energy now!! I’d love to see you talk more about things you’ve learned about being a creator 💕💕

[MarisaRobinsonBeauty]

Yes 🙌🏼 people connect with people and by being your unapologetic self it will lead to more relatable content (rather than trying to be perfect)
