      this is soo true lol. It feels so much better and less draining when you decide to film who you actually are instead of what you're trying to be. I used to get so mentally tired after filming, but it was because I was constantly exerting so much energy. I think I forgot that people wanna see chill personalities too lol.

      In my opinion, the concept of having to niche down sometimes comes across as "limiting" yourself. In reality it's just focusing on one thing that your audience can rely on you to always bring to the table.
      I think of MKBHD (a tech reviewer). If I want to know if something is worth buying, I know he is going to cover the aspects that are important to me. This is all because of the way he has focused his channel.
      Although choosing a niche has really helped me, this is just my opinion.😀

    I love the concept of content creating. There's a human need to have entertainment but a lot of people do not like TV, the news is dying, Netflix and Hulu are too expensive for never offering good selections. People are starting to care about entertainment that makes them a better person rather than wasting time. AND SO WE EVOLVE to be our own entertainers while bringing a lot of enrichment to people's lives. I've been so inspired and learned SO much from TH-cam.

  • @leighauza

    the thing that hesitates me being a content creator is like what you said about not having the best looking apartment. I still live at home with family and I don't have the luxury nor privacy to record videos without them getting into my business asking me why I'm making videos, who i'm talking to, etc. I just can't fathom getting online showing the rough/unattractive parts of my personal life until i'm fully ESTABLISHED: own apartment/condo, own car, financially free, clear skin, and a toned/muscular body. I'm also afraid of family members finding my content creation of their personal social accounts because I simply don't want them being nosey on my whereabouts and my passions/hobbies. I also fear getting stalked by men as well!

    Really needed this, all of this is so true! I've been wanting to do more talking videos instead of me just showing what I'm doing. I love talking about what's on my heart and although I've done a few talking videos on tik tok, sometimes I get in my head about what I look like and it affects my creativity. I'm currently moving through this and I appreciate the timely reminder!

    soo many gems in this. Its funny but everything you are talking about is exactly what I have experienced on my content creating journey. Right now I am trying to get over not caring about what people think. I know its weird but it sometimes makes me feel bad that only men watch my content, then I think I dont care Iam having fun and I love what I do so why be ashamed. do any other female content creators feel that way? anywho let me grab your ebook

    Literally right on time! I’ve got my hands in a few things creatively (content creation included) that I put aside because of anxiety and some depressive periods I dealt with. I was and have been feeling somewhat stuck and honestly overwhelmed because I want to do soo much and be soo multidimensional. I’ve been trying to be more conscious of my personal growth through things like journaling whether it’s mentally, emotionally and creatively and it’s an interesting journey to be on that’s also very exciting - I know I can create and be whoever, whatever I want and even if those moments where I don’t feel at my absolute best, I’m making my way and I love that 🤍

That I need to stop worrying about what others may judge me on. That I think journaling my days daily will help me create content. Then came to youtube and searched "IRL content creation" and this video was the third in my feed. As I was listening, I got so excited because you said pretty much exactly what I just wrote!!

    This video is great because it's about the foundation of creativity, human consciousness, and how we exist. Which is the unlock for success on TH-cam, and life in general. The problem is the execution. Lynette's ideas are very profound, and very simple. These ideas require simple and direct action, so we don't overthink too much. But it's really hard for people to take action. We can read self-help books forever, but we can't find the energy to get out of bed. If life is too simple we get stuck. If life is too complicated we get stuck. I don't know why life has to be so sticky, but for some reason it does.

    One of the biggest lessons I've learned on my TH-cam journey is that my channel is a timeline of progressively coming more into MYSELF. I look through my past 60 videos or so and notice a very clear trend from old videos where I am "trying to be something" into my more recent videos where I am "embracing the being of me".
    I think the comments and quality of community reflects my development. For any aspiring creators out there, learning how confidentally make content around your real personality and interests is the goal. It takes time to learn, but that's where you want to be, it's the point of least resistance mixed with maximum "staying" power. All the best ya'll!

    I’m so glad you said this! I have a decent amount of followers as I’m still growing but i literally tell them everything. Like I’ll cry on live 😂 and at first I thought I was doing too much but so many people love how perisonalble and vulnerable I am because the influencer world has become very one lifed -luxury- but there are so many other ways to live and people are just trying to see how to navigate it and get exposed to that by finding someone they relate to so I switched from “Black Girl Luxury” to just being myself “Black girl working who just graduated, working 2 jobs, becoming an influencer, who might go to Grad school, on the journey to having her own business and buying her time back so she can be more active in her community and help people”. There are people can relate to that and there are people who can relate to you just being you! Everyone doesn’t want to live a high luxury life or buy name brand, everyone doesn’t want to work a 9-5, everyone doesn’t want to be a TH-camr. Maybe you have a small business and instead of having an online store and scaling it they just want a store front or maybe they want to work multiple different jobs because they like the experience.

I also want to work for myself and do social media full time but I absolutely love the work I do know my community with teens I could never give that up. I want to advance my education to advance their lives but I love creating videos & content as a hobby & it just so happens you can get paid from it. I want to show people that you can do both. You can do social media with your own business and turn around still have a profession! I’ll probably end up combining the two one day, who knows but SOMEBODY will enjoy it and watch it & NEED it or find it interesting.

    the older you get the harder it seems to try to be something that you are not or try and follow by something you are not okay with. I believe it's because we become more self aware with age. So anything we want to do in our lives we just want to do it in the way we chose to and not how we are told or think we are supposed to do things.
