Hey y’all! As you know, I’ve been focused a lot more on sharing with you what I’m learning as I’m learning it–whether that’s health, finance, or business focused. 

On this solo episode of the podcast, I wanted to talk about how I started and grew my YouTube channel to over 50,000 subscribers years ago and what I’m doing now to get back to creating videos consistently. 

Over the past several months, I’ve noticed that you all are asking more about how to start a YouTube channel than how to start a podcast. I get it, YouTube may come across more glamorous and exciting than a podcast AND as I’ve mentioned in previous episodes, YouTube is great for creating long-term evergreen content that people will see for YEARS to come (I’m still getting comments on videos I posted 5 years ago!).

As you know, I absolutely love doing my podcast and using it as a way to connect with you all and share other people’s stories, experiences, and vegan strategies. But YouTube is really a peak into my own life, what I’m cooking, and what tips and tricks I want to share with people.

So if you’re at all interested in what it takes to start and grow a YouTube channel, I hope you find this episode valuable and that it gives you a good idea of what my own journey has looked like. And if you’re not yet subscribed to my channel, don’t be shy– find my YouTube channel here and click “Subscribe” so you can follow along on this journey with me.

In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing:

  • Why I started my Youtube channel

  • Getting over the fear of being on camera and putting yourself out there

  • What led to my YouTube burnout and why I called it quits for awhile

  • How much I got paid by Instagram for creating Instagram Reels and how this led me back to creating videos for YouTube

  • How we make excuses and hold ourselves back from starting something new

  • The importance of learning as you go and starting where you are now

  • Dealing with negative comments on social media

  • Batch recording videos and why consistency on YouTube is essential

  • How YouTube has become more like the Instagram algorithm

  • Why I’m sharing this journey with my community and what I hope to learn from it
