having a writer bestie would be the life but unfortunately I suck at friendship lmao ps Ana I 100% believe you'll hit 100k! you bring something special and unique to the writing community, and it's only a matter of time before more people discover that!
hello ana. I come back on this video to tell you that you inspired me to ACTUALLY start posting. I was feeling extremely bad for not having a defined aesthetic, which I saw as the most 'important' part of your identity on social media. Now let me say : if anyone reads this comment and relates to what I'm saying, know that you don't have to associate yourself to a visual aesthetic. Your 'identity' can be recognised as something else. Think about some of the youtubers or influencers you follow. Sometimes you recognise (recognize? I never know whoops) them because they wear a lot of red clothings... but sometimes it's because they constantly share cat pictures, sometimes it's because they always say the same first sentence in their video. Most of the time it's their personality. Of course, if you identify with one particular aesthetic, then I'm happy for you! But for those like me, it's not something you want to use to define yourself, and that's totally ok. Now, back to the video. The most helpful tips (for me) were "what do you want to create and where? What's your vision" and "START DOING IT". I realised what kind of content I wanted to share, that I should stop being so secretive about my projects as well. And so... I'm starting to post content (on Instagram, I'm also thinking about starting a writertube in the future). Thank you ana for all you advices, for the motivation you give to other people. Good luck with your projects and studies ! Also if I never get to read one of your novels / novellas because publishers say "no" to them, i will be mad. I want to share the passion you have for your stories and characters while knowing the full story, I want to discover them through the pages😭😭
This is so on time for me because I just started my authortube and I am doing it to just share my writing journey but most of the growing youtube platforms advices are not tailored to "writers" lol so this was perfect! I definitely think just starting, in the same way with writing....just start writing and you'll figure a lot of things along the way that will work the best for your story and I think that is the same with starting on a platform. I truly know that most people who have found success with their platforms did not always start off perfect. Thanks for the lovely advice!! I think your desk was a bit of an aesthetic. Color scheme good perfect!
currently only a couple minutes into the video and i’m usually a silent watcher of your content but lately i’ve thought about growing a platform to start promoting my story. it just so happened that this video was on my home page for youtube, so this was definitely a sign😭🫶🏼 hopefully i’ll be able to use ur tips and advices well!!
*me taking notes* 😻thank you sm for this, Ana!😽 Really needed to hear that "trust your gut feeling" advice! I've been thinking of starting a podcast where I just sit down and talk about writing x3
You're an absolute ✨️inspiration✨️ Ana! I've finally gotten myself back into writing my magnum opus novel series that I've been working on since middle school (so like a decade of my life 😅) and your different writing videos make me so happy and get me in the right headspace for writing. Watching your videos has become part of my pre-writing routine, lol. Thanks to you I'm gonna be starting a YT channel for writing and my novel series! Thank you for everything you do!!
hi ana, I just wanted to say that your videos have been such an inspiration to me over the past year. I have truly fallen in love with writing even though I’m busy with classes right now. I have always loved how honest you are with all of us. I know that your last video was a hard one but we are all so proud of you and we all can’t wait to read your book(s) one day. p.s tysm for making this video because I’ve been struggling with my social media as a writer on tiktok and instagram. I hope you have a wonderful day ❤❤
I love that you mentioned finding a writing bestie online is a legit goal. I've been hoping to find one for so long now! So, if anyone watching this is interested in a critique partner/accountability partner, hit me up! Especially if you're into thrillers/suspense.
Ana I'm soooo excited that you got to 70k!!!! I know you're going to hit 100k by the end of the year!!! I love your videos and girl, you slay in every one of them!
i really like your content. i've been a bit of a lurker here on your channel but i just want to say now that it's really genuine and it's nice to see a writer so open about the struggles and achievements of their writing. i kind of want to make vids about writing but i can't really do either advice OR vlogging... i can't do advice because i'm not really qualified... and i can't do vlogging because i very much do not want to show my face (i know you advised to do it but i really don't want to.) and doing just a podcast probably won't garner much attention unless i build a viewerbase first. i have a question, when you first started giving out advice on YT when did you think you were ready? or as you said did you just blurt out anything that came to mind?
I've been wanting to start a youtube channel/podcast/photography-writing for a while, and this video has been SO helpful! But I often feel doubtful of myself to make anything on social media since I'm still a young teen. I dunno, I feel too young and like people won't take me seriously, if that makes sense? But I want to put myself out there at the same time. It's so confusing. These tips were so so helpful tho, Ana! I love ur channel so much!!! Also I love Ana's makeup style! So pretty!
DAAAAMMMNNNNN you called me out hardcore 😅 tbh tho i don't deserve better 😂 you dropped so many gems in this episode - everyone take note!! spontaneous stuff makes the best stuff, and i definitely think you're gonna hit 100k by the end of the year 🤩
Hi Ana! I don't know if you will reply but I will still try to leave a comment. My passion for writing came to be more than 4 years ago (in 2018) but only since like a year or so ago I got more serious about writing. To be honest you are one of the reasons for the motivation I have to just keep going. I am currently working on multiple projects but nothing is certain for now as I am also in my first year of college. I did start a instragam account for my writing and a tiktok account, it's not much and I don't feel like I have created a stable community or whatever you would like to call it. Sometime in the future, I hope to begin an authortube or simply a writing channel as well. The thing is tho...I don't feel comfortable showing my face on camera so my fear is that my channel (once and if I will create it) won't do good because of that. I want to connect with people and share my writing with the world but for now, I really don't feel comfortable showing my face on camera. So my question to you is do you think I should still try to create an authortube channel? Or if anyone else sees this comment, any opinion counts really. I've been stuck with these feelings for a few weeks to be honest, so I need someone else's opinion🤔😥
Hey! Currently about to stary writing my book! I won't go into that much detail but this is a summary of it. A volleyball girl(M.G) and a football boy(M.B) hate each other they have since 5th grade, but some how they got teleported into a universe where both of them are the opposite of how they are in the OG universe. And in that universe they are daring. In order to get back home they are told that the HAVE to act like there other versions for 50 days. And after the 50 days we will see how it will turn out. 50 Day Free Trial- by Me :) I don't fell like typing my name
OMG OMG!! Ana actually recorded a podcast of my suggestion from Discord 🎉 Thank you thank you!!

You are an inspiration for people who want to start a youtube channel, or podcast or other social media, but think they have to be perfect to start.

Her aggressive “bestie” is the best 😂❤

i kind of want to make vids about writing but i can't really do either advice OR vlogging... i can't do advice because i'm not really qualified... and i can't do vlogging because i very much do not want to show my face (i know you advised to do it but i really don't want to.) and doing just a podcast probably won't garner much attention unless i build a viewerbase first.
