I’m at a point in my life where my belief in mys I’m at a point in my life where my belief in myself & God has never been stronger. A lot of people have ideas about what they think I should be doing and I don’t blame them - It’s safer and involves less risk. 
But here’s the thing. This journey It’s not about absolutes. It’s not about whether it works out or it doesn’t work out.
If it’s one thing I realized in 2022, it’s that I have options and I owe it to myself to see what they are. I can’t allow other peoples energies to sway me. 
I trust that the decisions in making are going to lead me to where I want to be. Doesn’t mean there will never be struggles or I’ll never need help - but it does mean that I followed my heart & trusted myself to take me along this unpredictable journey. 🫶🏽
Everything is working out for me 🥂

1 year living in Houston 🫶🏽 Studying abroad 1 year living in Houston 🫶🏽
Studying abroad at 19 truly changed my life. It taught me how to get outside of my comfort zone, put myself out there + take risks! That trip was the real start of me unlearning limiting beliefs + seeing what life has to offer. 
This past year has been anything but easy and I honestly waited to post this bc I wasn’t proud of myself like I know I need to be.
Nonetheless, I’m grateful for the journey and looking forward to what’s to come 🤍

How to Start a YouTube Channel In 2022: What You Need to Know

You might think it’s too late to start on YouTube in 2022. It’s not! The possibilities are limitless. If you’ve been saying you’re going to create your channel, here is your confirmation. Starting a YouTube channel may seem daunting but here are 5 tips for anyone willing to take the leap.

1. Don’t overthink your content.

As a multifaceted person, I personally dislike the topic of niching down when starting any platform. When you’re first starting out on a new platform, you have no idea what you will enjoy creating or what your audience will enjoy watching. There will be some trial and error before you get super clear on the type of content that performs the best. While all your content doesn’t need to be the same, I do believe that it should have a clear message or tie back to a theme. My message when creating content is inspiring people to be their truest selves by living their truest lives. I can do that through vlogs, through wellness content and through telling my personal story while tying value back to my audience.

2. Get the right equipment.

The right equipment makes or breaks your content creation process. I recommend two different tripods: one for close up shots and a tripod for regular filming. Each tripod has the ability to capture multiple angles which I think is important (we’ll discuss this more further down). When you have tools that work for you and not against you, you will feel less frustrated when making content. Here is the equipment I recommend for content creators:

tripod | portable light | 60″ tripod (with bluetooth remote) | jewelry organizer | travel jewelry organizer | steamer | clothing rack | two tier clothing rack

3. Find a simple editing software that works for you.

Editing is an extremely huge part of having a Youtube Channel so finding a video editor app that works for you and takes the least amount of time possible is very important. When we’re starting any new task/commitment, you want to make it as easy as possible for yourself or you’ll back out of it. James Clear, author of Atomic Habits goes by this rule: 1) make it obvious, 2) make it attractive, 3) make it easy, and 4) make it satisfying.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not need Final Cut Pro to start a Youtube channel. The video editor that you choose will be dependent on the equipment (laptop, ipad, etc.) that you have and how you prefer to edit. When I first started editing, I was using iMovie because it seemed like the most sensible. However, iMovie is the most basic of the basic video editing softwares so it didn’t have a lot of variety.

If you’ve never edited a video in your life, iMovie will be great for you to get adjusted to the absolute basics of editing like cutting clips, rearranging clips, and adding overlays. If you only have an iPhone, you can still edit on apps but it’s a high possibility the app will crash often due to the amount of footage you upload. I would recommend editing on an iPad or laptop for the easier process and full experience.

Recommended Editing Apps for Beginners:
  • VideoLeap by Lightricks for iPhone & iPads (7 day free trial) – $35.99 a year
    • Access to all features within Videoleap: layer based editing, special effections, creative cinematic transitions, over 100 sound effects, etc.
    • Projects are auto saved so you don’t have to worry about losing your work.
  • InShot Pro for Androids and iOS – $34.99 (one time purchase)
    • Access to all paid transitions, effects, stickers, sounds effects, etc. No ads or In Shot logo.
    • Can save videos in 4k
    • Has an “apply to all” option. If you have 20 clips on a project, you can mute all 20 clips at the same time instead of doing it individually which saves a lot of time
  • Canva Pro – $12.99/mo. for up to 5 users
    • Have complete access to all the canva features
    • Great for thumbnails (which are extremely important), intros, overlays and special video edits
Other recommended editing apps:
  • Final Cut Pro for Mac (90 day free trial) – $299 (one time purchase)
  • Adobe Premiere Pro (7 day free trial) – $20.99/mo. & $19.99/mo. for students & teachers

Remember, when starting out – it’s not about having the “best” of the best. It’s about what’s going to get the task done. You can upgrade your video editor once you get the absolute basics on editing down and find your own editing style. It’s not necessary to start though.

4. Find editing inspiration from other YouTube channels you enjoy.

Your editing is what makes your videos special, recognizable and memorable. Anyone can publish a video on the same topic but nobody has your personality, voice, aura or your editing style so lean into it! I recommend watching a few videos from YouTubers you enjoy and write a list of things you enjoy about how their videos are edited. 

Here are a few things to pay attention to when watching other YouTube Channels:

  • Intros
  • B-Roll
  • Fonts
  • Memes
  • Transitions
  • The time of talking vs. the time spent doing tasks
  • Background music/type of music

Once you have your list, turn your observations into your own. The goal here isn’t to copy, more so to spark ideas!

5. Have fun with it!

Starting a Youtube channel can feel very daunting at first because there is a lot that you don’t know how to do. I recommend making videos about things you’re genuinely passionate about so it feels less like a job. Even in the midst of being annoyed while editing, you’re simultaneously going to be excited because you’ve created about something you’re passionate about. I like to mix up my topics between vlogs, tips & storytelling. This helps keep my page light and fun but also allows me to talk about real life things that matter to me and will attract my target audience.

Finding your flow can take some time but you will eventually find it if you stay consistent. I view my channel as the long game and have accepted that nothing happens overnight. The more work I put in, the more it will pay off. Youtube is an evergreen platform and as time goes on, the views continue to go up. If you’re having trouble with your mindset around creating, here’s my video where I teach you have to get over your fears when creating content.

I’m learning the way God speaks to me is through I’m learning the way God speaks to me is through people and it’s always beautiful when something you were praying for or thinking about naturally comes up in a conversation.
Here’s some things I’ve been learning these days that might be helpful to you:
✨ Do to horribly. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Even one step closer is a step that’s worth taking.
✨Imperfection is beautiful. Letting things fall apart if beautiful. Releasing your grip on the way you believe things “should” happen will grant you freedom.
✨ I have options. Period. Life is abundant. 
✨ The absence of something in your life doesn’t reflect your worth. Timing is everything - respect + appreciate the space/period you’re in because it won’t be here forever.
