How to Deal with Negative Comments on Your Channel

So as a new Asian Beauty Guru, you will come across alot of comments that are very negative to how you would like to present yourself in your videos. I don't really take these comments as offensive, but more so of a question mark? Like why are you still on my channel watching them. From time to time, I would like to take constructive criticism and sometimes I think the comments have a good point. I recently started a new video series on giving advice to other beauty gurus on how to grow their channel when they do not have a ton of subscribers. These type of videos are structured the way they are because I find it unique to show a portion of the camera while I'm behind the camera talking towards the mirror. Is this strange, it's absolutely strange and not normal to not be in front of a camera. But I have my reasons. Do you want to make videos where the setup look just like everyone else's ? Or do you want to make controversial videos that look so awkward, but it differentiate yourself from other youtubers? Seriously how big is the beauty community on Youtube? Answer that :). Today I started to talk to myself and talk about new subjects that I would like to educate others in my 2 minutes with Wendiness Series. Yes, I indeed talked to myself for awhile. I was pretending to talk to other youtubers in my living room on topics that I am really passionate about.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a Youtuber is do what other people are telling you to do in your videos. I say this because you shouldn't have to change your whole channel setup for anyone, you shouldn't have to do videos differently because someone else did not like how they were done or what you were actually talking about.

If you want to make a new tag video about " what in the world is in my couch ," just do it ! I know it's not normal, I know most beauty gurus don't like these type of videos, and they think it's stupid. But people thought that for me to teach makeup tutorials on youtube was stupid. I am by no means a makeup artist and may never be a professional makeup artist. I like putting makeup on myself, and I like to show people what I can do so they can take my advice and go home and do it for themselves.

These little video series is something I am passionate about, if someone doesn't like them, I will not change for that one person. The more you become popular on Youtube, the more negative comments you will get. My first two months, I got a comment that said your channel sucks ! I actually thought it was funny. And then I get this comment saying they don't like my camera in the mirror thing and why I was looking in the mirror constantly. Well that's your opinion, and maybe it's because people don't like them so much that they clicked on it just to see what it was about.

Don't let people dictate on what you should put out on your channel and how you should change in your videos to something of their liking. At the end of the day, this is your video, and I am comfortable with this setup, I find it unique and awkward, but that's exactly what other people are thinking when they see this thumbnail, like is she really talking to a mirror ? What a loser ! But whether someone clicked on your video because they want to hear what you are saying or because it looks like you are talking to the camera like a psycho, it got them to your channel !

When Michelle Phan made the Lady Gaga video that got her instant success, did everyone liked it? NO! I'm sure people were thinking is this an Asian LADY GAGA??? When Jenna Marbles decided to trick people to thinking she was hot, is she thinking what others might think or say about how ugly she really is ?? But it worked ! When GoldPinkstah made her comical makeup tutorials and use very inappropriate languages in her videos, did people respond well ?? No they called her all kinds of nasty comments about her being fat and ugly and making the beauty community look bad etc.

So what is the point of all this? The point is people are going to hate and they are going to have their personal opinions about your videos and you will end up receiving alot of negative comments, you have to just read them and move on. Don't go deleting your negative comments, or responding to negativity, comments help your channel grow. Sometimes the more comments you have, the more rank you will have on Youtube for Discussions.

Always remember, a person cannot be successful without tons of people trying to sabotage your efforts, I think I will put that on my Facebook now.
