    I started vlogging when I was 14 years old because I really wanted to be a vlogger so badly and then my classmates made fun of me, so I stopped. Not just because of that, it's because I can't think of any content that I am comfortable with LOL or I haven't chosen my niche yet. But now that I am 17, I can tell that starting vlogging helps me be better in editing, planning, and etc., especially when creating videos at school. Even though I stopped not uploading to CZcams anymore, I realized that it really helps me a lot in terms of experience, editing style, and what not to do and should do in making videos. Maybe soon, I will create videos again connected to my plans in my mind because this is one of my teenage dreams.

But I decided to just move forward with it because I was out of time to develop another idea and stay on my posting schedule. Seriously, 2 weeks after I published that video, YT picked it up and it's my most popular vid and literally exploded my channel! I am sooo grateful I didn't let that little voice that was saying "no one is going to search for that" stop my from moving forward with my idea!

      Make videos as long as they need to be. If you can get your point across in 5 minutes, why add an extra 5 minutes of fluff that doesn't add any value. Keep it as concise as possible and it'll give so much more value to your audience, and they will probably appreciate you more for it. If it needs to be 15 mins long, make it 15 mins, it doesn't matter how long you need to say what you have to say, just don't make it longer than it needs to be.

    Great tips! My biggest tip is to avoid trying to be perfect. Your main focus when starting should be to focus on pushing out content consistently then as you grow you can continue to learn how to improve your content and channel to make it better. I see so many people fail to start because they think their content is not good enough. My video with the most views about 8,000 is just me sitting in a hotel room with bad lighting and bad audio retelling the story of how I had just been denied entry onto a flight to Dubai due to an expired COVID test. Long story short people didn’t care about fancy editing or production value they connected with me and my story.

    Hi Cathrin...I appreciate you sharing this video. I’ve been following you since The Content Bug (I’ve been a silent subscriber...watching, liking but not commenting). I must say that it’s amazing to see how you’ve blossomed over the years. I love how you approached your channel rebrand and took us original subbies along with you the whole entire way. Your transparency draws us in (well...speaking for me, it drew me and keeps me watching). I normally don’t comment but I just wanted to share how inspiring it to see much your channel has grown. Congratulations on your CZcams success!! Thank you for what you do and the raw guidance you share with us! Greatly appreciated. 💞

    I love the originality piece at the end there. That and thumbnails are my absolute biggest takeaways. I have this vlog channel but I am also doing a content growth channel ( that is being built around one product) as well so I am growing from the ground up on that one, and I am kind of relearning as I go. I am super happy I started watching before you blew up. Have no idea how I found you!

    "No one is you and that is your super power!" That is such a powerful statement right there. We try so hard to copy, impress or be like other people that we forget that our uniqueness and individuality makes us special. I feel like within the youtube community the people that flourished are the ones who realized this and ran with it. I'm definitely a smaller youtuber just trying to utilize my strengths and put them out there to people on youtube :)
