Why I decided to go back to youtube 📹

Lately long form content has captured my interest. I’m enjoying the process of not trying to keep my videos under a minute or editing out every detail. Youtube just feels more personal like I can take my time & really create videos that I enjoy.

I’m excited to be back after taking almost 4 years off. Can’t wait to see what community I build on there as well.

... Read moreIn recent years, YouTube has evolved significantly, offering creators more opportunities to express themselves through longer videos. Particularly, long-form content has gained traction as viewers seek deeper engagement and more comprehensive storytelling from creators. This format allows for creativity without the pressure of time constraints, enabling creators to craft richer, more meaningful narratives. Returning to YouTube after a break is both exciting and daunting, as the landscape has changed with new algorithms and an ever-growing pool of content creators. However, it provides a chance to embrace vulnerability and authenticity, allowing creators to connect on a more personal level with their audiences. Engaging with the community is crucial for any content creator. Building a supportive network of viewers can lead to valuable feedback and interaction, which can enhance growth and creativity. As I embark on this journey, I am eager to see how I can foster a community that shares insights, inspires each other, and celebrates creativity. If you’re also considering returning to YouTube or starting your channel, remember that authenticity is key. Share your passions, be open about your challenges, and embrace the journey. Together, we can inspire and uplift each other as we navigate the vibrant world of YouTube!
