Relaunching my YouTube channel

One of my goals for 2025 was relaunching my YouTube channel and growing a community there.

It’s actually a crazy story…when I was applying to grad schools for journalism back in 2016, I had an admissions interview with one of the schools I applied to in Boston. At the time I was posting beauty content on YT and really building a community on my channel. The admissions lady told me that if I wanted to be taken seriously as a journalist I shouldn’t post my beauty content. So I deleted everything and started over with all news content. I wish I didn’t listen and kept doing me because here I am 10 years later hopping back on to do the same thing I was doing before.

Moral of the story: Do YOU & don’t let ANYONE tell you that you can’t do something. SHE might not have taken me seriously but these beauty companies are SERIOUSLY paying $$$$$ to post on social media. So there’s that 🤷🏽‍♀️

... Read moreRelaunching a YouTube channel can be an exciting yet daunting task. In today's digital landscape, particularly within niches like health, wellness, beauty, lifestyle, and personal growth, content creators often face pressures to conform to industry norms. However, the key to success lies in authenticity. As seen in the journeys of successful YouTubers, those who remain true to their passions often cultivate loyal communities and make a genuine impact. With platforms rewarding creativity, it's vital to focus on content that truly resonates with you. Consider embracing the evolving trends such as interactive content, live-streaming, or personal storytelling to build engagement. Networking with other creators and exploring collaborations can also elevate your channel's visibility. Additionally, promotion across social media platforms can drive traffic to your YouTube channel. From Instagram to TikTok, sharing snippets of your content can entice viewers to explore your channel further. In relaunching your channel, remember: it’s never too late to pursue your passions and let your creativity shine! Explore different formats, listen to your audience, and most importantly, enjoy the journey!
