Stop doing THIS in 2020! It's a new year, a new decade, a hopefully a new mindset shift for some of you who are trying to create a successful YouTube channel this year. I'm coming at you with Things I believe you should STOP doing if you want to START successfully on YouTube. I really hope you find this podcast episode helpful! If you have things that should be added to the list, let me know!

Stop Waiting, Start CREATING! Happy Halloween to anyone listening to this on release day! So many times I hear the same thing whenever I tell people that I am a YouTube creator. "Oh that's so cool, I've wanted to start a channel for __ years but..." If this is you, you need to hear this message. It may not be something you WANT to hear, but it's something that you NEED to hear. I hope one day you understand the difference. I've been where you are, literally. I realize that messy action is going to win over perfect inaction almost each and every time. So I want to have some real talk with you about why you might be feeling all the feels that you currently do about getting started and how to get out of your own way to go after what you want in life, which CAN include having a YouTube Channel. If you've never left a review (which would be anyone who listens because I have zero reviews) please, please leave a 5 star review on whatever platform you are listening on so I can get found!

Equipment Recommendations for Starting YouTube | Podmas Day 24 Now that we’ve covered apps for photos, apps and software for videos, of course the next step is equipment recommendations. I would never suggest that you go out and buy thousands of dollars worth of equipment without trying to make some videos first to see if you really enjoy the process. You aren’t going to figure out if you love making videos in a normal return policy of any store, it takes time. So I am a big advocate for people to try to make videos with what they have. Start where you are, with what you have, and do what you can. Here are some recommendations for equipment, If you have great deals you’ve discovered, list them in the comments and we can help each other not go crazy on spending a ton of money of stuff that isn’t needed!

Mistakes I’ve Made on YouTube | Podmas Day 21If you know me, you would know that I don’t always like to admit when I’ve done something wrong. Not that I refuse to take responsibility for my actions, nothing like that. I just don’t like living in a world where I could have, should have, was supposed to do something else and I didn’t. I used to tell people, if you don’t have time to do it right, you’ll have to make time to do it over. I thought I was so wise. Now I realize that mistakes are part of the game, even if we don’t like it. Even when I know I don’t like it. So, as difficult as it is, here I am in a full 25 minutes of me letting you in on a whole bunch of things I’ve done wrong so far, in my YouTube journey. Nothing that I say so far because I know that more mess ups are due in the future. I don’t think it can be helped. Just like the guy that they maybe told you was a bad idea when you were younger, some mistakes you just have to learn for yourself. If you have been following me and thought that I ever made anything look so easy or that I’m never sad, this is the episode for you. A literal sad pity party where I bare everything to you in hopes that you don’t repeat the same mistakes that I have. I hope you feel better after hearing about how sad I’ve been some times. lol. This episode is deeply personal, I hope you enjoy. Feel free to join my FaceBook group if you’re interested in continuing your journey from Brand New to Branded Business.

It’s been a buzz phrase this year on YouTube with some of the largest creators on the platform declaring that they need to take a break from posting as frequently or at all. Here are just a few ways that I’ve found to spot it and what to do about it. I hope it helps, and if you’re currently going through it, I hope you can take some time for yourself away from social media and the melee of all that happens online. Feel free to join my FaceBook group if you’re interested in continuing your journey from Brand New to Branded Business.

TubeBuddy I love you as more than a friend. You truly are the best friend I didn’t know I so desperately needed on the road to YouTube success. You’ve given me the big fat gift of “time” which is something I cannot thank you enough for. I don’t know if I could ever do you justice as to the reasons why I love you so much, but that won’t stop me from trying. Here they are, in no particular order, some reasons why I love TubeBuddy and why I think others need to know more about you too. While I was at VidCon I had the opportunity to speak with the TubeBuddy folks and I told them how I wanted to be able to use canned responses but couldn’t figure out how. They walked me through it. While I was at VidSummit I talked about the lack of diversity and how I wanted to see them include more women on their channel. They stepped up to the plate. I told them that their site wasn’t intuitive to show people what to do after they install the extension. They agreed and said it was on their roadmap to fix. I told them that I wanted them to be a sponsor at Seattle YouTube Day. They put Andrew on a plane to come out and present. Each and every ask, each and every time, they have gone above and beyond for me. Plus they have a kick butt product and team. They want to help you celebrate your achievements and give you awesome certificates. These are just some of the reasons why I will always tell anyone who has a YouTube channel to check out TubeBuddy. Feel free to check out TubeBuddy for yourself, it’s free and if you decide to try a membership with them at any time, I have a discount code to save you some $$ on any version!

They bragged about being able to set up a website on their site in 1 minute and being the skeptic that I am, I decided to put that statement to the test. I ended up filming a YouTube Video and while it did take me longer than 60 seconds, I was amazed at how little time it actually took, especially given my experience with using other sites like wordpress. If you want to check out that video I will link it here → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-OhRGxVU5k&tIf you’re intimidated by setting up your own website and have been putting it off, you should check out Rivyt.  http://rivyt.com/shellysavestheday  You can started and set up for FREE and get a Rivyt site for your own videos.

Things to Consider When You’re Doing Sponsored Content | Podmas Day 17Eventually you’re going to be approached by a brand to do a sponsored post. First of all, let me say congratulations! Second, let’s put on our thinking cap and see if this is a good fit for you. So what are some general questions or guidelines one could follow when it comes to getting paid? Let’s discuss a few points. You deserve to be paid, don’t do things for “exposure”. Exposure most of the time is, worthless to you in the long run and extremely beneficial to the other party in the short term. If this is you, you may want to consider lacing up your Nike’s and getting the heck out of dodge. Not to say that doing some things for free can work out for you in the long run, absolutely they can, but those types of opportunities are usually best found by you, not the person who is asking. You should be getting paid for your time and effort and expertise. I know you may feel like you are a nobody, but you are a somebody and somebodies…get paid. Here are some sites that are good for helping you ball park a figure when you don’t know what to start charging and connecting you with brands that are looking for an influencer maybe just like you.FameBitGrapeVineFohrOctolyInluensterGeekSmashMake sure you have a contract and you know who is paying you, what is required, how compensation works, who owns the end result and where it will reside. I hope all of  this helps you on your next sponsored content masterpiece!  Feel free to join my FaceBook group if you’re interested in continuing your journey from Brand New to Branded Business.

How to Love Your Haters | Podmas Day 16Can you feel the love online? I hope you can, but occasionally, unfortunately, you’re also eventually going to see someone’s lack of love for you. This could come in the form of a hate comment or an unwelcome comment about your physical appearance. Today I’m talking through some ways to love your online haters. I get it, it’s tough, I’ve been there, I’ve cried. I don’t want you to go through all the same thoughts I did. I wish someone were around to tell me why I shouldn’t care as much as I do and how I shouldn’t let it affect me the way it does. It’s easier said than done to “focus on the positive” but in reality, the execution of this can be…challenging. I’m here to tell you I get it. There is something wrong with THEM, not something wrong with you. You are brave enough to put something on the internet that you love and want to share with the world. The simple act of you doing this shows that you are brave and talented and it’s amazing. The fact that these online trolls have to take time out of their day to bring you down is just really sad when you think about it in the end. Talk it out with a friend but realize that these people don’t know you and in real life would never speak to you with such venom and hatred. People online get brave behind a keynoard and think it’s perfectly fine to say and type anything that they are thinking and many of them do it just for fun, forgetting that there are REAL people on the receiving end of these messages. Most of these people would be so embarrassed if they had to show their mother, or grandmother the types of comments and messages they send to people. The likelihood of you ever running into one of these people in real life is slim to none. The chances of them being brave enough to say the same things to you is almost non-existent. Keep trucking on, that’s all I can tell you. I’m here for you and if you want to swap “best hater comments” online sometime, I might just be down to play the game!

It started as a tweet, a notice from Team YouTube about a subscriber cleanup process and a link to an article about what was happening. You could see the panic start to sink in for some folks, “Why is this happening? Where are my people going? How do I fix this?” questions started showing up online and the term and hashtag #subpocalypse started trending on Twitter. Today we are tackling the subject head on, what it means to have a spam subscriber clean up, what can you expect over what time frame,  and if you should be scared. Inevitably, it always pops up on any video you see, something along the lines of “Sub4Sub” and “Any small youtubers want to support each other?” The “support” is just an promise of a new subscriber, one who will never watch your videos and engage with your content but you don’t care as long as you see the numbers tick upwards on social blade counters. According to this article from youtube, Sub4Sub is actually a Terms of Service violation and could potentially get your channel terminated yet you see it time and time again. I don’t want anything like this to happen to you so lets talk about what is happening. I hope that this helps clarify YouTube’s stance on this subject.  Feel free to join my FaceBook group if you’re interested in continuing your journey from Brand New to Branded Business.

Thumb #NailIt From Here on Out! | Podmas Day 11Today we’re talking Thumbnails and my general guidelines I’ve picked up from attending presentations at VidSummit and VidCon, learned inside of FaceBook Groups and picked up over my years on the platform. I hope you find it helpful, and it you don’t, it was that guys idea over there not mine!

It takes a Village | Podmas Day 10Ever wonder why the creator you follow online that has millions of subscribers seems to live the picture perfect life? Why they always have an aesthetically pleasing Instagram feed and get to rub elbows on red carpets with celebrities you’ve always wanted to meet? Ever wonder why they are constantly on the branding of some company and launching new amazing merchandise and makeup lines when you are just wishing someone from a PR company would know who the heck you are? There is a very good reason for all of this, and I’m going to let you in on the secret that a lot of them don’t want to tell you. The truth is they have a team, sometimes enough to fill a bus with of people who are helping to feed the machine. Let’s briefly talk about the members of an entourage that you might come across and why you should NOT feel bad about where you are currently when you don’t have this army of people in your life too. I hope this gives you a little perspective and helps you realize that it sometimes take an entire team to do what you are handling currently all by yourself. It’s all about scale.

Why You Still Need a Website in 2019! | Podmas Day 7 One bonus reason amongst all the ones you will hear in today’s podcast? So you can read my podcast show notes! I know a lot of people would tell you that in this day an age having your own slice of digital real estate is no longer essential. Today I’m here to give you some insight into why I personally feel that it is still advantageous for one to have a website. I hope you find it helpful, let me know if you would want content on YouTube focusing on some of these details like how to set up a site and what not. After fighting with my current website tonight for over 3 hours (believe me, the irony of this is not lost on me, but my patience sure is) I don’t have the energy to write an entire essay spelling out each point, so for today’s podmas episode, you’re just gonna have to listen to me! Hope you all are having a better day online than I am. Sending good vibes to all of you out there, all half a dozen of you.

Subscriber Counts Don’t Matter! Interview with Eugene Capon | Podmas Day 6 I know that title may stir up some debate but today I want to dispel the incorrect assumption that unless you have a ton of subs, you can never make a living on YouTube. I was lucky enough to interview my friend, fellow 2 time Seattle YouTube Day panelist and VR Evangelist, Eugene Capon from Capon Studio. We started talking about the YouTube demonetization that happened earlier this year, the effect it had on the community and ways that he has managed to build a full time career as a creator online. Eugene has a wealth of knowledge and I hope that you will enjoy this episode. *Side note: This is the first time I have ever tried to record a conversation that was held via Skype to edit in my audio interface. I ran into some technical difficulties so I apologize that I wasn’t able to fully separate the audio where both of us are speaking to edit out things that were happening at the same time. There may be some parts that aren’t as pleasing to the ear as usual. I will try to improve this for future recordings. Thanks!

Ways to Make Money on YouTube | Podmas Day 5 I know that inevitably when the conversation turns to money 2 things happen a lot: 1. Someone has to shout or is at least thinking in their head “SHOW ME THE MONEY!!” 2. When you ask people about money, some of them will go radio silent. As if, they really don’t want to share their secrets with you. I’m not like that, I’m gonna give you everything I’ve got, and you can do with it whatever you will.
