  • I love the community we've built on this platform, and I am always appreciative of your questions. Lately, I've been noticing more comments regarding sponsored content and how I make money on CZcams and social media. I don't blame you at all. This industry is intriguing and ever changing. Even when I started, I didn’t know a thing about it! Today, I'm opening up about how I make a living as an online "influencer" so you can better understand me, what I stand for, and my platform.

      Hi from Annie, this is very interesting thank you, I have started my U Tube channel about a month ago I am totally new to this and try to think of how I can make other happy thru doing this and hope that my grand kids and daughter might watch me as not seen them in over 9 yrs , sadly but it is my way to reach out to others and share something good. I need to save up for good camera and mobile and other equipment, so one step at a time. I do videos with out any edits as I am not familiar with editing etc so try to get it right the first time, this is more of a natural way to present topics, so small steps at a time, hopefully things are good from here on. I love being creative and work on my own presently. This is an interesting experience which appears to my creative nature. God bless us all and you have been an inspiration to me as well I enjoy watching you it feels like family so thank you and I love your mum.

      I think Dominique was explaining so people understand when she promotes a product. This may have had something to do with a show a month or so ago, the comments were dogpiling on her about something expensive she promoted.

    I think she was very surprised at the backlash from the sponsored detox video recently, thus this explanation on sponsorship. I enjoyed her more personal videos on makeup and clothes as she is an excellent role model in this area and shows a lot of class. Her channel has become more professional and is taking a different direction, and while I know this will have appeal I preferred her more spontaneous original style.

    • @suzannem6300
      @suzannem6300 Před 11 měsíci +19

      I agree, I think she crossed the line on expectation and thought viewers would buy into it. I also believe (though I don’t know) that her divorce and retirement were poorly timed. Her former husband likely left her more well off than most divorced women and she can choose to be an influencer because it’s her area of work. I also agree with you, her makeup and fashion videos were more fun. I feel she thrives on attention, most of her comments are screened for positive feedback. I was once critical a time ago when she posted a video about budgeting which I felt insulted since her former husband was a multi-millionaire. Glad she’s trying to be more transparent in she is what she is and admitting she is in it now for the business. I follow the beauty trends, the rest, I don’t.

    • @suzannem6300
      @suzannem6300 Před 11 měsíci +1

      This always happens with anyone that I have ever discovered on a CZcams channel they will start off very off the cuff and green and it feels very real and authentic but you know somehow someway they are making some kind of money otherwise why would they do it because it is very very involved and time consuming and who could just afford to make all of these CZcams videos And put out all of this helpful information that people enjoy watching and yet not be compensated. That was her original appeal to me as well I never heard any specific product that I felt was being endorsed just comparing different make up looks and talking about how to up your fashion look and never feeling as if you were being sold anything but her personal style. But alas as her popularity and viewership grew as well as many other influencers just like her these cosmetic companies and other products want a piece of this audience and that money being offered would be very hard to turn down but I think out of everyone that I watch who does have sponsorships she handles it the most responsibly and least intrusively, in other words it is not a turn off because I believe she has integrity about what she will endorse. But yeah I miss her earlier CZcams videos that were less professional. It's kind of like when you see a non-professional singer show up on The Voice or America's got talent and they are very authentic and raw and then the record company gets a hold of them and they lose all of that

      @@suzannem6300completely agree! I used to love my Friday you tube fix of Dominique but now, since she moved into her channel, I don't watch anymore. I loved the blow outs, the makeup, the clothes. Now...its boring. So I'm out! And yeah, who spends all that time every week on personal videos, for the "heck of it" to quote herself! It's a real pity though, I would imagine subscribers are bailing out right left and centre. She is a good nice person though.

    Loved today's show Dominique and Courtney. Entrepreneurs work 24/7 my husband and I have an electrical contracting business in Missouri and when we were young thinking we would move from Dallas and start our own company in Missouri 38 years ago we had no idea that our lives would change so dramatically and we would be working 24/7 to put food on the table but it is and has been something we love doing. We have raised our children put them through college debt free and God willing we will soon retire or not. We arent people who can sit around when you love what you do and you are making good money it truly is a blessing. Anyway I enjoy and appreciate you, you bring joy and learning to us every week. Until next Thursday.

    THIS, I applaud.
    Regarding the relationship with your audience, it is difficult for both sides to make the transition from Dominique - news anchor main job and personal social media channels on the side - to Dominique needing to generate most /all income from her social media audiences. The only way to maintain honesty in the relationship is by transparency. Bravo!
    When the audience knows where the boundaries are, we can feel less suspicious. I hope that all makes sense.
    And you definitely do not have to apologise for making money, as a previous commenter said.
    This channel has inspired, influenced and challenged me in equal measure. Dominique, how you manage to be the face and person receiving the comments and attitudes of 1.85 million people is beyond me. For that, again, bravo!
    I certainly do not always agree with you, but I admire and applaud you.

    I rarely have bought anything I have seen from a commercial, and I see sponsored videos as the same thing. I watch several popular youtubers who much of the time don't do sponsored videos or constantly promote products. Each to his own though. I must say I enjoyed your videos much more when you first started.

    I have been a viewer of your channel since the beginning; there is definitely a difference in your UTUBE channel; I think the difference is that it doesn't feel so personal and more polished then in the past; I remember when you gave advice of skincare with simple products, makeup affordable; as time progressed and you got more people involved it changed; I have others that I have watched for this period of time still feeling very personal; they are still doing their own content with little help; frankly I will continue to subscribe but I don't find myself looking forward to your content every Thursday like I use to. I find I skip it more then watch these days; I wish you luck and success but I do miss the good ole days.

    When money exchanges hands behind the scenes, the value of the advice always drops. It’s just a fact of life that monetary reward affects one’s ability to be impartial and probably the reason so many are balking at the increased commercialism on Dominique’s channel.

Your encouragement, easy-to-follow makeup tutorials and the inspo from seeing how fantastic you look, the healthy diet you follow, and the fab, well-deserved best-life you're living gave me the nudge and 'how to at this age' that I so needed, and I'll always be grateful to you for that! ❤😍🧡 Any faithful viewer/sub that has followed you for a bit and has half a clue should well know how hard you work at providing fantastic valuable content.

    Thank you so much for this. You guys are so cute together, like life long friends. I got really serious about my CZcams channel about 2+ years ago when I was about to be an empty nester. It’s a beauty & lifestyle channel for the mature woman. It is A LOT of work but I am SO IN LOVE with what I’m doing. I’m a nurse by trade but in my soul, I have sooo much creativity in me. I needed to find an outlet for it. So my questions are:
    -what’s the difference between a sponsorship vs a partnership?
    -how do you negotiate a contract? For example, as a small channel how much is appropriate to get for a sponsorship/partnership/post/…
    -how do you know what a contract is legitimate?
    -and finally, speaking of links, I need to know where you guys got those mics!
    Thanks so much. LOVE you Dominique! 😘

    I've followed you since around 2016 and I don't mind your sponsored content at all. I trust that you share things you genuinely use or believe in and it's up to me if I choose to click on it or not. I enjoy your channel and the tips you pass on, I turn 50 this year and it's great to see someone I can follow for inspiration in my own age group. Well done to you on building this business, hope it goes from strength to strength. I believe you have integrity and you will stay true to that in your commercial deals and activity, which is why I like you!

    I started following Dominique around 2019. I was looking for a quick make up look tutorial and when I did a search Dominique’s 2 minute Make Up look came up. Bare bones minimalist look and of course it looks goods. Hopefully you will update that tutorial quick 2 minute make up look. That’s still my favorite Dominique video ❤

Love your beautiful blouse and soft, yet light, eye and lip color. Your longer hair is very flattering. Well done! Courtney, you do a wonderful job, and I enjoyed hearing your input. You are very well spoken and I love your makeup as well.

    CZcams is hard. Yesterday marked my one-year on CZcams, and to date, I have only 386 subscribers. I was retrenched just before Covid and decided, last year, at age 57, to start CZcams. I’m quite shy, not very articulate (not a native English speaker), and not tech-savvy. I think all these work against me 😅
    Anyhoo! I adore you, Dominique! I’ve been following you for so long I don’t even remember. I loved all your hairstyling tutorials, which motivated me to keep a short hairstyle. Thank you!!! 😘😘😘

My small but growing channel is my passion project too (I started at 49 during covid lockdown) and I would love nothing more than have this as my primary job. I work full time in a branding agency but still manage to create 2 videos a week. It's just so fun and and it's amazing the wonderful people I've met along the way. I hope I'm blessed enough to reach your heights. You deserve it - well done!!

    You both look gorgeous and I love your top and makeup, Dominique! A very important video and thank you both for sharing and explaining. I have a CZcams channel ( not this account). I started it in December 2021 and with the intention of being there for people who have the same autoimmune disease as myself. In time my audience is growing and I find it really hard to even think about approaching companies for brand deals. Like, Dominique, I would never accept anything that is not right for my audience, especially as many are suffering with their illness, but some how I feel guilty or bad. My logic is that if I don't , then I won't be able to continue making the videos that people would like to watch.. but still haven't made that brave step. Also, I haven't been approached, so I think seeking brands feels even harder to do so on an emotional level. But anyway, all that to say that this video inspired me to go for it and know that I can still stay true to myself and my audience by doing so.
