To be perfectly honest, I only get about 7% of my blog traffic from people watching my videos on YouTube. If you want to establish yourself as a DIY and/or home decor expert, if you want to get some speaking gigs, if you want more reach on social media, if you want to be approached by more brands for sponsored post opportunities, and/or if you want to become a spokesperson for a brand, starting a YouTube channel will help you with those goals.
That's crazy! Obviously I've realized that there are other shy, geeky gals that enjoy watching my crafty videos and appreciate my way of speaking and editing. As I'm writing this, I see that I have 429,105 views on my YouTube videos. Before I started my YouTube channel, I thought that my boring "mom-ness", the way I talk, and even my style might not appeal to anyone, but I was wrong. The most important step here is to START. The more you practice speaking in front of your video camera, the more comfortable you'll become. What's REALLY weird is that ever since I started my YouTube channel, I've become more comfortable with speaking and I've even started speaking in front of hundreds of people at home decor shows and other events! I find it's like most things - practice makes perfect. I've always been quite shy and introverted, so the thought of speaking in front of people often frightens me.
I hope my fellow bloggers find this information helpful! I've also been receiving a TON of questions about how to start a YouTube channel for DIY, home decor and lifestyle bloggers, so I thought I'd share some of what I've learned with you today. One year later, I've become obsessed with making videos and learning how to make them better. I decided to throw my self-consciousness out the window and start my YouTube channel.
