Thanks for the encouragement. I like watching the older generation, as I am only in my 40s, and I started my channel to document and inspire "The Banjo Project".
I love the content of your videos, but, if I may say, I'd love to see your face while you are talking! I think you would get more views and subscribers if you take the plunge - I've subscribed so I can be there when you do ;-)
Bonsoir from the South of France Jo 👋 Thank you for letting me mention my baby YT channel 'Found in France' here. As you know i'm another late baby boomer focusing on being 62 and solo in France. Personally I have been had a bit if an epiphany recently about accepting myself and letting things go and i now feel that i am more content than ever before. That's quite a shock after being clinically depressed 3 years ago. It's also one of the major motivators for kickstarting my channel because I think it's so important that people know that clouds pass. I really admire you wanting to do your doctorate. My brain doesn't retain information any more so just learning Spanish is muy dificil! The editing is a challenge too but I love the creativity and learning from it.
We are in our mid-fifties and we just started our channel about a month ago, because we want to document our process of retiring in Italy. We are having so much fun, but it is a lot of work. We're excited about this new chapter in our lives. Good luck to you in discovering your path!
It is a lot of work, isn't it? And a lot of learning! I interviewed new TH-cam coach, @AlexaSaranoja recently: th-cam.com/video/nzzZjVDSPFo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tY6E45lvAXzKboHr Check her out - she has a free community helping people get to their first 1000 subs. Good luck!
I'm new in your channel and so happy to find you.I like your way of thinking. I also like your smile, your humor and your positive energy.I hope that your channel will continue to grow...
Just keep doing what your doing Jo. I love anything you put out. I’m 62 and retired but I decided to apply for a job last week & received a regret email not explaining why I didn’t get it. It made me chuckle to be honest, and a bit relieved. Anyway we all love watching you. You are a very inspirational woman. Looking forward to your next video. x
Thank you so much for your kind words. I can't tell you how much your encouragement means to me! The next video went live this lunchtime, by the way ;-) It sounds like you didn't really want that job!
You’re right, I suppose I was challenging myself but I wasnt disappointed when I got the ‘no’ I’ve been binge watching your video’s. There’s just something about yours that makes it real & honest. I love that.
Hi Jo! I’m Lonna and I’m here because my friend Vicki recommended you to a group of us. I love finding new small creators and especially when friends recommend them! New subscriber. ❤
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦! Im a 63 woman who started yt last month and am finding such a great community here for us! Really enjoyed this video and looking forward to your journey 🎉 New subscriber today!
Thank you for subscribing! Of course, I had to go and have a look at your channel - subscribed and look forward to growing together! I follow one of your fellow compatriots and have found his channel a good resource: www.youtube.com/@RobtheMaritimer Check out his channel if you haven't already ;-)
Okay! I posted a video from my new TH-cam channel that I recently started. I hear and experience EVERYTHING you are saying in this video! It’s wild! Thanks for making these videos! They are very encouraging! 😌
Thank you for including my channel in your video. ❤😊 I was afraid to start on TH-cam because I did not expect to receive the type of encouragement and support I have received and that you also mentioned. I also did not expect to find so many creators from our generation. It has been amazing! 💕
Hi @jowildsmith I've subbed to your channel and will have a good watch soon. We have much in common. I just wanted to say, apropos the title of your last video, YES keep going! My channel growth has been exponential since I switched up my content, something I had been thinking of doing forever. Miracles do happen here on TH-cam!
Im happy that i have found your channel. I feel like you are talking to me as a friend as you come across as kind and very calming,maybe its your voice. Good luck with your future videos and thankyou for including other utubers that we might like to watch😀
Hi Jo. I like a mix of contexts, so basically just keep doing what you're doing! I'm almost 63 and at that odd crossroads of not really knowing who I am or where I'm going.
So pleased to find your channel, Jo and thanks too for the further context you provided today.💐 I think your doctoral study plans/proposal are excellent and the integration between your channel and scholarship is, I'm sure, achievable👍. I'm sixty, married with three adult children and a grandchild) and in Sydney. I'm an English teacher -cum-private tutor(primary and secondary students)- cum writer. I currently combine tutoring with writing. With regard to the latter, I'm entering short story competitions (only three to date, early days). I consider myself an apprentice and I'm happy to forge ahead, not sure yet as to whether to pursue a writing course or press on with the completed novel manuscript I have which may, upon further editing, be suitable for self-publication. My thinking has been along these lines: have a finished manuscript on my computer and in the desk drawer, enter writing competitions and commence a course, not the other way round. I've overcome clinical depression and manage anxiety. In my case, this corresponds with my faith as a Christian.( I've been able to come off meds).🙏 In terms of You tube, I find the conversational-moderately structured approach relatable and helpful. I'm finding this age challenging but creatively brimming with possibility. I'm sure there can be an inspiring and purposeful conversation. 💌
Thank you for watching and coming to introduce yourself! It helps to “know” some of the people who are watching. This sudden surge of interest is exciting but a bit overwhelming at times, if I’m honest! All good though - I’m “leaning in” as they say. As a writer myself, I think that’s a sensible approach to your career. If you go that route you will have the confidence that you can complete an entire novel. Then you can hone your craft if you want to with courses etc. If you start with the theory it might derail you as you become overly critical of your work! I don’t know if you are able to access this in Australia, but the BBC have an affordable subscription called “Maestro” which features several writers. I enjoyed listening to JoJo Moyes talk about the elements of a love story for example. www.bbcmaestro.com/explore Also, as an English teacher I’m sure you know the mechanics of writing and what makes a good story! You might want to study the business side, the nuts and bolts of self publishing which isn’t difficult, but does have a steep learning curve. Just my 2 cents. Oh, and please be wary of self publishing “services”. Finally, I wanted to say that it sounds like you have found what Margaret Mead called your “post menopausal zest”! A surge of energy and creativity that will carry you forward and hopefully help you leave anxiety and depression in the past. I’m planning a live in the future with a writer to talk about the surge of creativity we often experience at this time in our lives. I’ll try not to make it in the middle of the antipodean night! Good luck!
I've only recently started posting more on my channel. Being authentic and sharing my story and experiences has starting building my community too and I love it! Who would have thought us Gen Xers can build our own space on this platform 😀
Just listening to your video about belonging. Just look how your honesty has resonated with your audience! Love it. I was on 253 subs just 2 weeks ago. I think we're on a similar journey. ;-) I've subscribed and look forward to seeing what you come up with next. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel too. x
This is a refreshing find as i move in to mid 60 s i m searching to hear peoples experiences in mid life some people like to tell u how to live your life i m just looking for that community keep up the good conversation 🇨🇦
Thank you for watching. I hope I never come across as telling anyone how to live their life - who am I to do that? Besides, we've had a lifetime of expectation - it's time we pleased ourselves ;-)
I've chosen a nomad lifestyle in my 60s and I love the freedom on the road and to "knowmad your own nomad" in whatever ways work for any one person. I appreciate your generous offer to post about it here. And you are correct, filimng and editing videos is a lot of work, so I hope that works out for you with going after a degree. Cheers!
You're welcome! Who knows - I might be biting off far more than I can chew (I have history!) But I won't know unless I try! Study is still in the feeling out the possibilities stage right now. We'll see!
Hello! Nice to “meet” you, I’m Tracie and my YT friend Vicki suggested your channel on her community page. I’m going to subscribe because I would love to hear more of what you share. Yoga!!! I can tell it’s your happy place. The moment you started to talk about your face lit up! I’ve had my channel for almost a year and a half and it’s been a great release and I’ve met many beautiful souls and it’s a lovely community on here. It’s a nice place to hang out. I’m going over to watch what’s next at 63! That’s a ton of views! Amazing! Glad to meet you. You look gorgeous! Yoga must be doing you good! I love yoga. I always stand taller and feel more fluid when I practice more regular. I was completely pulled in with you chatting here in the car.
Hi Tracie! Just jad a peek at your channel and subscribed - small boats lifting on the tide etc! Can you link me to your friend's channel so I can say thanks? Cheers x
@@JoBlackwell-MidlifeAndBeyond thank you for subscribing and helping support my channel too! Means a lot. I appreciate each and every sub I get. she doesn’t use her name a lot so you probably know her best as “aging on your terms” you gave her channel a shout out on this video.
I totally agree about the in-person yoga class! For many years I’ve attended one & so enjoy the camaraderie. I don’t socialize much, so that weekly class is nice. I was attending yoga 4-5 times a week at a fitness center & loved that, but the pandemic brought those activities to a screeching halt. Keep up the good work. (And my dragging my feet about getting my channel going is precisely bc of your note about it being a lot of work.) 🙂
Like you, I don’t socialise much, so that class is nice. I spend a lot of time alone, writing, studying, talking to myself on my phone camera and pretending someone else is listening! 😁 Yes, I think we have to be realistic, without being off putting!
Since you asked, I like a mix of environments for videos. The same background and a talking head all the time gets dull and I have trouble focusing. So I like changing it up with the LR talk and the walk and talk and the car talk (although thank you for being parked, there is a creator who talks and drives and I worry about them). I have considered creating a channel and content myself at age 56 but I have just started a doctorate and I still have teenagers at home plus one in college so I worry about the time. I appreciate your straightforward and vulnerable manner. Don’t change it!
Thank you for taking the trouble to comment. Do you mean you prefer scene changes in the same video? do things like the appearance of text and photos etc help? I agree a static talking head can get boring (and no, I’d never try to drive and film 😳 plus it’s illegal to even touch your phone when driving here!) Personally, I don’t like too many rapid fire effects as they make my head spin! What would your channel be about? So long as you post consistently I don’t think it needs to be weekly. It depends on what you want from it - to build a community or as a hobby? It does take time to learn all the things. But it’s very rewarding.
I am starting to do more talking on my channel about being in my mid 50s now. I have been on TH-cam now for a few years, but mostly just about baking and tutorials. But now I am ready to talk. I also will not touch on politics or religion. But I want to let others in a little about my life and their thoughts too. My first video I just put up on my feelings is Mid-life from a 55 year old woman. And then I took it down since i was overly criticizing myself. But just this morning I put it back up again. I just subbed you.
Thank you! Of course, I had to go and have a look ;-) You have such a lovely, natural vibe on camera. I understand about self criticism. The way I handle it is that my message is more important than my feelings about how I look so I have to get out of my own way! I've subbed you too (who knew we'd ever use that as a verb?!) x
@@JoBlackwell-MidlifeAndBeyond Awe thanks. Yes, i am learning to get out of my own way. Love that! And thanks for subbing and looking forward to more of your videos.
There are far more experienced creators than me that can help, but I can definitely encourage! What I can say is: *Work out the purpose of your channel and who you want to reach *Spend time watching and learning from others both in your niche and generally *Learn the skills you need, like filming, lighting editing etc (just basics are enough) **just checked out your channel and can see you've already done this!** *Just do it - be prepared to make bad videos and have low views, and see every one as an opportunity to learn.

There are far more experienced creators than me that can help, but I can definitely encourage! What I can say is:
*Work out the purpose of your channel and who you want to reach
*Spend time watching and learning from others both in your niche and generally
*Learn the skills you need, like filming, lighting editing etc (just basics are enough) **just checked out your channel and can see you've already done this!**
*Just do it - be prepared to make bad videos and have low views, and see every one as an opportunity to learn.
