I did not tell anyone about my channel for a few years..my husband and my sister knew. When I shared with my best friend, she supported me and still watches, my hubby watches also. None of my friends watch or my family. I am ok with it, and I have no problem saying no when they ask me to make them something. My YT friends watch and I really appreciate it! I second what Pricilla said.
This is perfect timing. We just had a friend find us on yt. The reaction was good but it definitely makes you feel differently. We never told many people in our close circle we had a channel.
@@doycreations yes that's why we kept ours quiet. It's been nice to have the crochet community separate from real life. We have found our cheerleaders here!
I absolutely regret telling my family and friends. Don’t get me wrong, they’re all great people, but I do feel funny knowing that they’re watching. I know they don’t mean to be critical or judgmental, but they ARE humans after all.
I agree with you 💯on all the points you made!! I try to keep my channel separate and not share with people I know. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, Jeanette!! 🙏🏼🎄🎅🏼❤
I agree some family members are there for you and some are not. Great video my friend. Keep doing what you do. I enjoy your video. Have a blessed day my friend 😊
I started my crochet YT channel a month ago. I told my family & friends after a week. I don’t regret it. Those who watch my videos (especially ‘til the end) & comment (even if just a 🧶), I appreciate them. Those who don’t, it’s ok. If my channel is in God’s Will to grow & get monetized, it will. If it isn’t in God’s Will, that’s fine too. Because, I only want God’s Will for my life. Great video topic. Much success to you and your channel.
I don't have a YT channel yet , however my Facebook site, Instagram, doesn't get much support from my family except for my kids which are my greatest supporters always no matter what I do. Honestly we as culture support others a lot more than we support ourselves and are always the first ones to say we have to stick together. I support all of my people and others not of my race if they are positive and trying to promote their business. The day I make it I will keep the door jammed open for people to come in. Keep your head up Queen, The most High supports you ❤
I agree with you. Now that I know i have family members watching me, there are subjects that I stay away from. I have recently lost my husband and as anyone would I go through periods of time where I have some feelings and if I put them out I get family coming at me wanting to help, and I don't want help, I just needed to vent. But they feel the need to fix it. Or when I mess up on my diet, I feel like they will judge... so ya, sometimes I do regret sharing it. God bless
Great conversation YT Bestie! It can help you see who is willing to support and who is not. I'm not mad and I don't regret it though. I know what I do is not for everyone. That is why TH-cam is so special, we are able to settle in our communities and support each other. I met so many wonderful people through this platform, who I know will be long time friends. 💕💕
@Distinctivelyhandcrafted You're awesome Priscilla and a great YT friend. I am very grateful for all your help you gave me when I got started with my channel. Lots of love and many hugs my dear friend. 🧶🤗🧶
@@Elliesyarnycraftsandmore Hi Ellie! Oh Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so glad that I was a help to you, as I remember you helping me stay motivated on my YT journey. You have always been an awesome support and friend. I am so glad you consider me one as well. Lots of love💕💕 and big hugs🤗🤗, right back at you😘!
I don't regret telling family or friends about social media accounts. They've all been supportive. I don’t talk about private issues anywhere online. Private is exactly that, not meant for the entire world to potentially be privvy to.
We absolutely do not regret keeping it quiet. The friendships we have made here have given us a family that supports us and the confidence that we needed to keep going.
I have a couple of family members that know I have a channel and it feels weird knowing that they know. I don't even talk to my family about my channel.
I keep my business to myself. TH-cam is TH-cam. If the family and friends support more power to them but that number is much smaller than my subscriber number. I have lived and learned.
@doycreations yes but I've been burned so I'm mindful of what I say and to whom. These YT streets are not always nice when you have good intentions. You are welcome.
I definitely think that your family should support you especially if you have supported them in the past but like you said every family member do not and again I say it's okay
Only about five family members know I have a channel (could be less than that). I do share with people I meet at craft fairs that I have a channel when I give out my business card. My stitching friends know and a few others.
Nope. Never told them they only found me by accident and they’re not really watching anyway so I have other real genuine supporters and I don’t need family.
Actually I did not tell my family I only told my children my other family members found me on accident they're not too much of a good supporter though but it's all good

I just don't understand why family or friend don't really want to see you succeed and that is the truth. Thanks for sharing!

I'm not sure if they are there to support or see what I'm doing. Thanks

Thank you so much, and I love that you are so focused on God's will, I'm so glad you're enjoying my channel!
So true about all you said 💯 I definitely AGREE!!! Thanks for sharing🌷

Sometimes we be so excited and share and then realize maybe I should've kept that to myself LOL. Thanks for watching!
@doycreations yes but I've been burned so I'm mindful of what I say and to whom. These YT streets are not always nice when you have good intentions. You are welcome.
I’ve found that your family is your biggest haters! Sad but true
Hi Monda, sad but so true. Thanks for watching!
True that my friend 💕
I definitely think that your family should support you especially if you have supported them in the past but like you said every family member do not and again I say it's okay
Thank you so much for watching 🤗

I'm more likely to tell strangers instead of close folks LOL. Thanks for watching!
Nope. Never told them they only found me by accident and they’re not really watching anyway so I have other real genuine supporters and I don’t need family.
Sad but true. Thank you so much for sharing 🤗
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching!
My family supports me in nothing I do. I don’t get on you tube but I do craft shows. My family has always told me that I can’t do anything
That is really sad, and it shouldn't be that way. I'm here for you Bonnie and I'm glad to know that you are here for me too. Thanks
Sure tf do!
LOL, I totally understand. Thanks for watching!
I didn't tell my family and friends
Awesome, Thank you so much for watching!
Actually I did not tell my family I only told my children my other family members found me on accident they're not too much of a good supporter though but it's all good
