Not 3 videos in a week 👀👀😜
She’s back and she’s coming back swinging 💕🙌🏾💛 yesssss
Working Hard Boo! 💚💚💚
we love a consistent queen! purrr. 🥰
Yes, ma'am!!! 💕💕💕💕💕
We love to see it
It all went downhill with monetization. Just create content you want to create and let your audience find you. That's what TRUE artists do. Picasso wasn't like, "Hmmm... I wonder what people want me to paint?" Beethoven wasn't like, "Let me write some songs that people want to hear." Nah bruh. What inspires YOU? It's like that famous quote from Field of Dreams, "If you build it, they will come." Just do what you do and they will find you.
I…needed to read this lol this is the key
@ Autumn Colors 👏🏾.
if you build it .he will come
Exactly!!!
Yeah that’s all good and fine but people have bills to pay . Content (whether it’s from “passion” or for monetization) takes a LOT of time to create, execute and content creator or “influencers” have every right to be paid for it.
Yeah it sucks that some deceive their audiences for a check but MANY more do not.
Honestly, I’m just here for Arnell. Girl, whatever you do I’ll be supporting!!! I’m sure there are so many other supporters like myself as well. 💓
Thank you so much! 🥹
Agreed! I’m going to support anything she does ❤
Exactly!!! I feel the exact same way!! I love Arabella personality, so honestly, I enjoy any content you put out! Beauty, lifestyle, grwm, wigs, trips, etc.
Same 👏🏽🤗
period!! she's just an interesting, real, raw person i love her sm
Here’s my reasons why I think it died:
-We’ve seen it ALL, there’s nothing that excites me in terms of makeup looks
-I still love makeup reviews however, but it seemed like a lot of my faves stopped doing that
-the pandemic encouraged masks, which shifted beauty to the natural look and skin care, and so I feel people cared less about glam beauty
-personally I love the wig videos, as a hair girlie
-however I love the lifestyle videos too
This provided me with so much insight. Thank you for this. As I prepare to return to my platform I’m trying to see what people think and feel.
Agreed!
girl is that u
Yep plus I think we’re looking more for connection to the creator these days rather than the topic
I feel like your question shouldn’t be “what do you want to do” but “what do you want to do FIRST.” No need in limiting yourself because you have multiple talents & you can build your brand showcasing them all. Take Rihanna for example - lingerie, makeup, skincare, fragrance. Pick the first thing you want to create for your brand, set a timeline & go for it. Because we’re here for Arnell 💕
Loveeeee this response 😭♥️
I think it helps people who don’t wear makeup or wigs feel connected too. When I watch the lifestyle videos and even the lifestyle-focused TikTok page, I feel like it’s more personable. It’s relatable. It’s like catching up with a friend. Idk 🤷🏽♀️
That makes a lot of sense!! Because not everyone is into hair/makeup glam etc
@@arnellarmon also… THIS INTRO!?!?!? 🤌🏽
i feel you on the point of having an end goal of creating a brand and a business if you’re a content creator/influencer but i ALSO feel like some of these influencers a JUMPING into creating that business and it’s coming off as repetitive and lazy. everybody wants to sell wigs, skincare, and makeup and you can tell these people haven’t researched properly and really have no passion behind it they just want the money 😭
Soooo true! A lot of people rush to make brands so they come off sloppy, that’s why I’m taking my time lmao
Especially skin😭it’s so many aspects to that and people don’t play about their face.
This!!!! The only makeup brands I like from celebs are rare beauty and Fenty! The rest are just meh
Don’t forget clothing and fashion brands some are like ok this hit others not so much
The TH-cam audience has grown up so you have to bring more value over here. The tik tok audience is generally younger so now they are coming into beauty and the world is opening back up they want to see how to quickly install a wig and get a soft no make up look or how to cook a quick dinner. They are eager to learn these things. Tik tok has some great resources to learn all kind of things and that why I’m in there. The older audience needs a little more substance and tbh I’ve noticed that even some of the vlogs I watch on TH-cam I can tell that they are tired of vlogging and really losing passion for it. So you hit the nail on the head with we can tell when people don’t want to do something. That’s when the audience transitions with you to something you love or leave because the content is not enjoyable anymore.
I was gonna say this! When I was watching TH-cam I was younger and more into beauty and learning how to do makeup. I’m older now and have responsibilities and there’s something soothing/relatable/therapeutic about watching other grown people being productive and living their best lives.
This is TRUTH! Many TH-camrs will say "I've been on my channel for five years!!" and I want to say: gurrrl, your viewers who were with you in highschool are now in their 20s with kids!!!
I personally love longer videos. Especially hair videos, but long chit chat grwms are what I love to watch. I hope it doesn’t die out! Tik tok is great but I’m always going to love sitting down and relaxing while watching my favorite creators chat away.
Agreed ☺️
Same I do my makeup with them helps me focus as well as get inspired.
I stopped watching hair videos because a majority of them started referencing wig brands and products that weren't affordable for me and offer few to none affordable dupes to obtain similar results. It didn't seem like a video targeted towards me. The TikTok girlies be giving me the tea on affordable wig dupes and products which actually work and I think that's why there is such a large gravitational pull to it, because videos over there tend to be unfiltered and unhinged (while simultaneously helpful) at the same time, this the same reasons I like your vlogs because it gives me the similar vibe but in an extended version. ❤️
I love this conversation! As someone that works in social media and is a content creator, this is SPOT ON. I think Rihanna did this really well for those that are multi-passionate by focusing on one thing - make that good, and then roll out the next idea. She started with makeup, moved into fragrances, and now clothing with storefronts. Ya know? Also, your point of creating content YOU like and let that specific audience find you is truly freeing. Takes the pressure off to "perform" and enjoy existing.
I'm rambling, but I really enjoyed this convo so thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
I think Rihanna started with music first lol
For the TikTok content VS TH-cam content thing, I have a theory. I could be wrong but compared to TH-cam, on TikTok you don't have to look for content and physically choose to watch it like it's there you scroll the video starts and the only thing you need to do is watch or swipe, but it's easier to get someone's attention on your content. But on TH-cam, you need to be attracted to the thumbnail plus you have more of this "what do I want to watch content" on top of that there's directly "competition" with all the other thumbnails. You don't have the person directly into action like sometimes there's people's videos that I didn't intend to watch even tho I saw the thumbnail, but I accidentally click on it and end up watching the video.
Ahhhhh this makes SO much sense!!! I love your take on this!
That true, but that’s so jarring to me. It’s why I’ve swerved TikTok for so long. It’s so AGGRESSIVE with showing all types of content. I STILL don’t exactly know how to use it. I just started following people I like and learning how to navigate that lol
@@SOULarLioness yeah I get it I just make sure to put not interested in content I don’t like
Exatly. Thats why it's easier to blow up on tiktok than on any other platform.
trueee
i also think beauty is dying on youtube specifically bc no one wants to put the work in and dedicate years of building a platform when they can just go viral on tiktok and have a solid amount of brand deals and sponsors. omg you’re literally saying the same thing i JUST got to that part 😭
Yeah so true!! It’s like why spend longer growing on the platform when you can go to another and blow up in a fraction of that time
when you stay true to yourself & your interest, everything else will align. i think it’s possible to look at it like “I AM the niche” rather than trying to fit all your interest into a box. don’t place limits on yourself and your work because a lot of us are here to just see YOU be yourself.
Curated playlists (your music is LIT!), modeling, photography, girl talks, TH-camr/Influencer talks/tips, you could do SOOOOO MUCH! And whatever you do, WE’RE HERE FOR IT!
as a person who is a very small content creator, this video is AMAZING!!!! i go through those times where i get discouraged bc i see everyone’s pages booming and i’m upset bc sometimes your fate is in the hands of the algorithm. this causes me to stop making content. content creating is so time consuming ESPECIALLY being smaller bc i have a regular job too. i want to know what brand deals and sponsors are like. this video is great and very motivating to keep going and work harder. LOVE this.
On Tiktok the demographic is a lot younger who are still interested in learning everything we learnt here on TH-cam for years. They're rediscovering all the trends and techniques that already existed for years especially on TH-cam. It's just a new generation
When I was going through the worst time in my life, in a domestic violent relationship, every week I’d come home to arguing and fighting. You tubers like yourself, allysface and kirah just to name a few were my only outlet and beacon of hope. When I couldn’t leave the house, when I was missing home, when I couldn’t talk/see my friends, I found peace in ur channel and content. In my head, y’all be my out of town friends and I’m rooting for you. Frfr though, Arnell u helped me get thru a really bad time, and although I get frustrated when u don’t post, I just have to deal with it. So I’m happy U still post somewhat frequently lol because it’s fun for you ❤️.
Thé hiatus part got me because I immediately thought of Andreas Choice, I miss her. 🥺
I wait for your content
I’m 61 today and have been watching you for about 4yrs and I love it
Keep the spirit and that smile🥰
I agree about the passion part. I was just talking to my friend about how you and Alissa are the only ones I watch now because I see the passion and ya'll are just so authentic. I don't even do makeup, wigs, or go to the gym, but I will sit and watch any videos you two make.
Arnell, do what makes you happy. We know when content creators are disingenuous.
We’re here on your journey with you.
You will attract even more followers. We understand that you (like others) will evolve.
My thoughts: people were created to have multiple different interests, I feel like you shouldn’t limit yourself, if you want to make some perfume and also make some makeup products, go for it!!! For example, Jessica Simpson; she has like an apparel brand, shoe brand, Jewlery brand, fragrance brand, etc. so I think you should shoot for the stars. If you have multiple things you want to do, then do it, don’t let society get in your head saying that you can’t. When deciding always keep your thoughts at the forfront and other voices closely. 💕 Alsoooo behind every brand is people and just as people, we all have multiple different interests. For example, I watch your content because I’m interested in wigs, lifestyle vlogs, makeup, and self care. Naturally as humans, we are all multifaceted so I think it’s a benefit that you do different things because it appeals to multiple of my interests.
Awwwww I love this example because that’s so true 🥺 thank you for this!!
When I want real content, not the idealistic “I have all this luxury & that’s what I’m about” (which is fun sometimes bc goals) but the real personable content, I come here. When you speak, I’m like Cosign, I felt that. So I agree that doing the content you love will be rewarding
I've always enjoyed your wig installs even though I don't wear wigs lol I appreciated the videos where you were recreating celebrity styled wigs with your own spin too (Cardi B wig, SZA neon wig, etc.)
the discussion on where you want to go with your future is BIG AQUARIUS ENERGYYY and I'm here for it.
Personally I’ve found my go to make up. If I want to learn new makeup tricks I would want to watch a short video or a reel. The only time I watch make up videos on TH-cam is when it’s a Q&A or it’s a full get ready with me with including outfit,hair, fragrance etc.
I think there’s need to be a healthy balance. We are getting older and trying to heal out in these streets. So creators we’ve watched for years need to evolve too. Successful relationships and healthy habits > winged eye liner and eye lashes. Butttt appearance matters (especially as a woman) and taking care of your external so I think watching lifestyle/chit chats balanced with beauty = perfect combo!
Please create a perfume line! You are crazy passionate about it and genuine !
But i love your bald cap method process tho 🥺 and i love your wig install wigs even if i never owned a wig! I just enjoy seeing people be good at what they do, knowing what they talk about. And i like beauty content so here i am.
But i also love vlogs and chit chat videos, it kinda feels like having a new friend. I mean choosing who you surround yourself with includes social media. It's about who you choose to follow.
Your point about TikTok’s not fully explaining things is so valid. I really enjoy cooking videos on TikTok because I don’t really need it explained. But when it comes to things like running a business, short clips with exaggerated statements aren’t actually helpful.
tik tok is like a factory right now, they are mass producing quick videos and viral videos mass producing "influencers" etc , but I agree with the lifestyle videos people just want to see what everyone does in their lives we've been locked up so long were relearning how to live in a way lol.
consistency era?!?!?!?! I'm so obsessed 😍😍😍
😂😂😂😂💅🏽💅🏽
Also about wig videos, I only have one wig so I just literally watch to support but the girls talk+install made it so much enjoyable! Love that you switched it up! ♥️
keeping yourself contained in one “niche” will limit your opportunities as a human to grow creatively, but i feel being consistent with one niche is easy to become more noticeable which leads to stagnancy and repetition, as long as people be theirselves FRFR and do whatever makes them happy, youll win in the long run, i think making other people happy or following trends is where a lot of people fall off with theirselves, which manifests
I definitely can relate to you at 13:58 because when your super creative and have so many ideas and great ones at that , you can get burnt out because of how cluttered your mind can get and it out you in a “wait I minute I need a break “ mood . It honestly can get overwhelming
I LOVE your beauty content. I don’t think I’d ever stop watching your wig installs and makeup stuff. I especially love your get ready with me to go out videos cause it includes the fit and the perfume!
I love beauty content especially black beauty content. I spend more time on TH-cam than cable TV or even Netflix! I miss that a lot of TH-camrs who I use to watch no longer make content. Keep doing what you like to do...I love your wig videos and I have locs...I just enjoy people taking care of themselves and it's fascinating. TikTok is too short...I also think that people's attention spans has decreased after the COVID lockdown period. TH-cam is still it for me. It's my main source for entertainment, learning new things whether it's beauty, hair, how to repair and DIY. Thanks for still posting content💙💙💛💛
I’m the same way. I would rather sit on TH-cam all day & watch videos rather than watch tv
I must say that I didn’t even realize how long this video actually was 😩 in a GOOD WAY! 😂 I really enjoyed this video Arnell! 🥰 as a small content creator I related to this on so many levels! You spoke so many FACTS! This is a conversation I wish more Content creators talked about. By the way the install is flawless 🔥 felt like I was at your house listening to u talk while u got ready 🥰❤️
This was a much needed watch for me. I’ve been going back and forth on whether I should start a TH-cam page. I’ve talked myself into and out of it for months now but I think your video was a sign that it’s time. Thank you for all of the content that you put out. I enjoy all of it! A lot of the influencers I watched years ago have disappeared and it’s nice that you’ve stuck around. I also like that you incorporated the vlog into your content. A lot of influencers who started with makeup and wigs stopped that and went straight to vlogging. I don’t care how repetitive it is, I always love me a good makeup and wig video so I’m happy that you didn’t do away with that!
THIS IS A CONVERSATION CREATORS NEED! Thank you for posting this.
You've earned ALL of my watch time and I thank you for that. There were so many gems in this video but those are personal and I want to give you your flowers while they are due. You had all my focus. I love that you did your hair and talked about these topics at the same time. You bodied that wig, love. per usual. I like your longer videos. I stopped watching for a while because I did feel like they were repetitive. Thank you for realizing that and changing! You have inspired me yet again! Thank you for being attentive and consistent! See you next time!
I seen this exercise where u record urself talking about your different passions and watch the video without sound so u can see when you light up the most and go with that one. And all the things u mentioned are on brand for u, in my opinion. Cant wait to see what u come out with and will def support. And I truly appreciate the advice in this vid.
It’s so crazy because I was just talking recently about how when I film I don’t like to film when I’m not in the mood or not feeling inspired because for me people can tell through the camera the vibe that someone is giving off. I personally don’t enjoy watching videos where I can tell the person is just doing it just to do it, I feel awkward and almost like I’m invading their space as weird as that sounds lol
Girl don’t let the trends keep you from being your authentic self. You have your audience because they love you as Arnell Regardless of the content. Watching your videos among others inspired my own channel. Ultimately I feel vlogs became more popular because 1, people are nosey. 2, vlogs give aspiration to a life that followers want to live. Vlogs are basically a way for others to live by curiously, that’s why they thrive more now. However, unlike some influencers, you’re one of the few that’s actually down to earth and worth watching. Please don’t stop being you 😊
I started watching you when you did the wig videos but that’s not the reason why I stayed watching. I just loved your personality. In your q and a videos you were honest, down to earth and relatable. I do love your fashion videos and wish you did more look-books or maybe other beauty challenges that aren’t wig related.
I love Alissa and the fact she’s moving on cause as you should it’s about growth and you know what the good thing is there’s a lot of people that are into fitness that hasn’t found her channel yet so you get the love from old subscribers and new ones cause that’s the content they are looking for it’s like a win win
Girl I’ve been subscribed to you for years and I love all of your content but mainly the makeup. It’s always so flawless and helpful. Either way I’m going to support you regardless.
Honestly also love the fact that you’re moving towards chit chats with your installs. It allows me to move around and get stuff done while still being engaged in your content! Looking forward to the next one ❤️
First off, I’m so happy you have the office because the consistency is giving us life!! I loved this talk! I love the content creator talk. I would love to see you bring life to an old wig that’s close to death because the only wig I have needs help 😩
Thank you so much for opening this conversation! It’s so refreshing to just hear what I’ve always thought. ❤️🙏🏽
I completely agree that Influencers should do what we are compassionate in doing on our channels. I believe that our channels will last much longer because we won’t feel pressured to do what the audience wants; it’s just my opinion.💕
The definition of influencers has definitely changed. I’ve been a influencer for 5 years and I totally agree with you.
Lemme join the discourse lol
1. I was watching makeup videos back when I had more free time. Now that I am 25 & feel good about my makeup skills, beauty videos feel kind repetitive & like a waste of time. TikTok is short & sweet so it’s different imo.
BUT, y’all are different. Both you & Alissa are innovative. Your wig series was so captivating b/c of the creativity & your personality. Just like Monet, Terrell & Zach, it’s not just generic content. It’s fun & personality.
To me, Beauty channels (& even lifestyle content) get stale quickly due to lack creativity /innovation AND no personality. Which is understandable cause creating is tiring af.
2. You’re so right. Creators are less community based which impacts longevity & validity. I only watch vlogs of people I’m already invested in (b/c of personality or shared interest ). Building a community is by far the most important aspect & it feels like so many people miss that.
3. Would you ever consider a mentorship program? I think you’d be a great mentor to a small group of new creators.
Waaaaaay longer than I expected but love youuuuu girl. 🤎🤎🤎
Arnell I have an idea for vlogmas, recreate iconic looks through out this year. I loved when u did them years back
A topic I’d like to hear you talk about is manifestation, you’ve hinted at it in some vlogs and I’m intrigued to know more. Also a “strategy” for these kinds of videos would be to use the word podcast, they are essentially chitchat videos but it’s currently a buzzword. Loving your videos lately 😍🥰
I miss old TH-cam Days! I miss the long make up tutorials. The tik-toks aren’t long enough for me. I miss talking about new products, trends, ect. I have seen the shift but it’s refreshing we still have you. I love both your Beauty and Lifestyle videos. You’ve been consistent (I know you think differently) and seeing your growth!!!! 🤩🤩
Nah bc arnell not being at 1mil subscribers is a crime.
"accept fu*king scraps* had me rolling HAHAH thanks for this authentic ass video. I've went back and forth with starting TH-cam for years now but something in me is calling to really give it a go and these videos are so helpful!
I miss watching makeup videos on TH-cam a lot of Beauty gurus don’t be on TH-cam anymore like back then so I’m here to support you arnell keep doing what makes you happy 😊
This video is sooo needed right now. I finally just started my journey as a content creator on IG because it makes me happy. It’s so interesting how different my thinking as the creator vs the consumer. Arnell always come through with the gems.
Hey Arnell, I miss your weekly vlogs with you, Juan, Cactus and Cudi. I love watching your impulse buys and unboxing them. I hope you're good. Stay blessed ❤
honestly i don’t watch beauty and hair at all but i enjoy you and your personality and vibe so i can literally watch any video with you in it so yes keep doing what you enjoy because anything you do i’m going to watch it
What are you watching in place of the beauty and hair content?
@@CorshaLishell vlogs lifestyle those are my go to’s or college vlogs
I was just on TikTok, but I stopped EVERYTHING I was doing to see this! Interesting by the title alone!
I started watching your videos when you did the "watch me transform" wig series a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed your personality, and that's why I'm still here. I enjoy your vlogs because they are aspirational. I enjoy watching you just live your life. I enjoy the chit chats, it's like having a friend.
I still enjoy beauty content, but only if it's within a vlog or it's a chit chat GRWM. The reason I stopped consuming beauty content is because I honestly just find it boring.
I agree about the repetitiveness. I think versatility is good some that are tutorials and others that are chit chat or talking. I’m one of those ones who stopped watching the beauty content but I love your vlogs! And I like anything where you’re talking lol
Also forgot to say I loved the recreation series it was fun!
This was an insightful video! I for one like beauty videos when combined with story time or chit chat because I already know how to do my makeup and I don’t necessarily watch to learn.
From TikTok v TH-cam, I think TH-cam is primarily where you gain a lot of loyal followers who want to see you and obtain your content outside of a 30 second video. I also used to follow the beauty community way back in 2015 and it was different compared to now but I think it’s one of those things that has to do with trends.
Last thing, what does lifestyle consist of? I feel like it’s one of those things that can consist of everything and people like it because it is versatile due to the fact that everyone’s life is different.
beauty and hair can be very repetitive so i understand why people like lifestyle content more these days- it’s a bit more spontaneous and different from creator to creator …
And i think trends are always gonna move, and change and something else will come and be the “New Thing”
i haven't finished the video yet but quarantine had people inside, no need/lack of desire for makeup and there was a shift to skincare 🤷🏽♀
True!! There was a HUGE shift to skincare/overall health
I’ve never attempted to wear a wig yet I watch all of your content 😂. I’m just here for good shit that keeps my attention.
52:00 I miss Alissa's old makeup content. I get her passions have changed and I love her Gym Post! She's definitely inspiring. But I wish I could look back at her old content I NEED those Hooded Eye Makeup Tips back! I would love to share it with friends and fam!
Keep up the good work Arnell!!
We all transition in life as well. I’ve started “connecting” with different influencers because I became a mom and my life moved from just makeup to having a baby, getting my home, mind and body together. There’s content in everything you come across in life. And that’s the beauty in social media.
The BEST LACE WIG install I ever seen....I have no idea what you was talking about 😅Your technique was effortless💯
I've been watching you for some years now and honestly, it doesn't matter what business you choose, your subs will support you. Maybe you can have more than one business or maybe combine them like Ulta or Sephora
About TH-camrs not posting. I was ill back in 2021 and I let my subscribers know what happened and they stood by me the entire time😍 they do depend on us❤😊tfs
Nelly you are speaking!!!
I love your and your sister, but frankly I don’t watch your guys content regularly. I also don’t care for wig videos but I love a good discussion and that’s why I clicked!
Great advice 💗
Do it all! We honestly trust your advice for all the things you listed. The biggest thing to remember is you have time. Just like people change jobs and do different things over the years. You can grow and change your brand over time. Hell you could make kits for people that have an outfit, scent, makeup and hair. Don’t worry about the timeline just do you girl. ❤
This video is everything!! I definitely have gotten to the point where I put out content that I enjoy instead of trying to put out what I think everyone will watch. I just enjoy creating!
It’s always your installs for me 😩 you be staying fr
honestly your voice is so soothing I could listen to you all day
Arnell you are spot on. Most tik tok influencers don’t understand that they have to brand themselves/ make themselves a brand. Not everything is about numbers the part of a brand that holds a lot of importance to me is brand equity, which is the image and value that consumers have of a brand. Tik tok influencers tend to just market anything to their followers without thinking does this fit my image who I am and how people view me. For influencers you have to step back and view your page and ask what does it say about who you are or represent.
Girl...i have been waiting for a line from you...any line...makeup...fragrance...home decor? DO IT ALL!! I relate to the burning out from just THINKING of ideas lol. It can be overwhelming for sure!
I know this is completely out of topic but I just wanted to say Thankyou for inspiring and making me crave the desire of tapping into my femininity and self love black girl era. I’m not there yet and I hope to be soon. It’s been a tough year but we keep pushing🤞🏼❤️Thanks babe and yes to more content 😌ok back to the video.
I have so much to say Idek even know where to start but thank you for this video Arnell 😭🖤 took the words right out of my mouth
I feel like all things beauty is your passion, find a way to incorporate all of those things into your brand just how you have been doing. We’ve all been her supporting you and we won’t stop.
I can relate to the multi-passion struggle. What I’ve learned is to pick one, start there, and see how it goes. If it doesn’t work out then move on to the next passion. Im not an Influencer or anything but it’s easier to keep the fire burning when you start somewhere
As a growing smaller creator, I really enjoyed this video. It’s always very helpful when creators who I’ve watched for years share helpful knowledge and/or their experiences in this industry. Also, when you felt like you were rambling but also mentioned “I just love this so much” I got it. Because I think as creatives we share that passion, so please if you’re up for it, continue sharing your experiences being a black creator in this industry. It’s definitely something we should do more of, just to create more solutions for issues we all may run into.♥️
I feel like speaking to the different passions: I have definitely struggled with that because like you, I am passionate about so many things! I think it all depends on the season. I mean one season you could be installing wigs on celebrities for a couple years, and then the next season you're creating your lip gloss line and get it up and running to the point that you don't have to do everything and the next season you curate your own clothing line yah know? I believe you can do it all!
needed this video. been consistently making vids for 10+ yrs and it's never paid off but I keep at it because it's fun and if I help a few blind oeiole I feel better
thanks so much for speaking on the discouraging part and passionate part
What I can say about me is, I like the beauty and lifestyle content BUT what I like even more is variety. Even though I’ve seen you install your wigs for YEARS I still played this video because when I’m working out I don’t always be in the mood for music. I’ll put on a video from GlamGoth or Mr.Ballen and listen to them talk the whole workout session AND during my shower after I work out.
I just did this today lol. I'll listen to an entire podcast episode and be fighting for my life doing heavy ass squats 💀 cuz some days I just don't wanna hear any music!
An hour of you talking about things you enjoy and witnessing your excitement, and hearing the passion in your voice just made me really happy
I love this video! I feel like all creators have noticed some decrease in views etc. I also feel like in terms of lifestyle content ppl have already gotten tired of the “aesthetic” TikToks and content and want more of a relatable vlog, especially in today’s times. And yes, I’ve learned to be flexible with some brands because you never know the outcome of the relationship you could build. I also agree with you on creating content that YOU love and the rest will fall into place. You can never lose being your authentic self 🤍
i love this! I was literally talking back to the screen like we were on Facetime😂
I really enjoyed this chit chat. I 💯% agree about the amount of followers doesn’t automatically equate to being a true influencer because I personally won’t buy a recommended product or anything when the creator hasn’t put in that work to build their audience in a genuine way like you and Alissa 💕
I definitely understood everything you said in this video. I started my TH-cam channel at the beginning of this year, and I found myself comparing my success so far to what other people may have. Sometimes it's discouraging to see people gain followers, subscribers, etc. even when you're making content in the same genre, and it doesn't get as much attention.
I am thankful for the subscribers I gained over the past 6 months because I know that I have a connection to every person. I will remain consistent and be myself because that's what will get me far :)!
For me it’s the consistency and the passion behind the content GIRRRL people get bored SO tryna keep up with them is unrealistic… your content is appreciated and loved 😘
i was thinking about the whole youtube shift type deal the other day and i think what what got me into watching vlogs it just seems more engaging like im coming along for the ride lol. but i think its fun to see the different types of things influencers do “behind the scenes.” i was subscribed when you were doing more beauty content but i think the more personal side was what kind of roped me in. feels like havin a real friend!
Arnell ive been down with u since I was 25 and that was in 2015 and no matter what u do what u explore Im coming for the ride. you got me forever ❤️. it is okay to have sooo many passions and sooo many hats. we love a queen with ideas
I think the difference is the rawness of creators. I think people enjoy the chit chats plus beauty content not just showing products and applying. Regardless I love when you go on your rants and theories and that’s why beauty or lifestyle I will be back. 💕🤗
As long as you are being yourself, it really does not matter what you post. You have so much passion and your content is such great quality that honestly...it’s okay if you dabble in different things because when you find your niche..and it sticks we know it’ll be great quality. As humans we all are allowed to grow and change and dabble into things. I wish you the best on your journey because I understand how you feel. It’ll all come together as you progress. 🙏🏾
Your the first persons I saw do a try on haul and I liked that so my focus shifted to that and from that into vlogs.
