Basically I am a up and coming Youtuber trying to make it to the top over thousands and thousands of people that are just like me. Well what sets me different from other people? Not much, I'm just your average person walking the earth from time to time, and my makeup skills are not something you haven't seen already. What I like to believe that sets me apart is I'm constantly trying to map out new ideas on Youtube, random things, and changing the way I present myself on my channel. In the video above, I incorporated some other ideas on how I would like to tell my makeup stories. Basically anyone is capable of showing you how to apply makeup, but what sets you different is how you present your ideas in the videos.
I take several hours in editing my tutorials, I dress up, I create cartoons, I create stories and plots, and buy little things for my backgrounds and backdrops. I know some of you might think well so does everyone else, so what's the big deal ? Well there isn't a big deal, but if you see that Michelle Phan has made it by doing the same thing she does in her video, week after, and year after year, maybe you should too ! Just food for thought, if you can't beat them, why not join them right? I do cinematic tutorials on Youtube, and I like to tell stories before I get into the makeup, and I like to go over the top in my editing and scene setting.
My biggest advice to people is that don't just put out any kind of video because other people are doing it on Youtube, or your friends are tagging you in it, or you just feel like reviewing this brush that has no real value. Understand when people come to your channel, they are only likely to watch one video, and maybe 15 seconds of that one video they decide to click on, make sure that video is the best you have to offer. It's like a commercial, you are either going to be so hooked and want to buy that product, or you are going to say, no it's not for me and I never want to see this commercial again!
I know most people will be like blah blah you have no subscribers, what do you know about getting views and making it big on Youtube. I have to tell you it's BECAUSE I don't have many subscribers, and it's because I don't have many views that I am making this blog, and I'm writing these advices to let you know that if you don't change your strategy, you won't go far. It took me nearly 4 months to get to 150 subscribers, and in the first 2 months I had like no subscribers. But the reason it has changed around for me in the last 2 months is because I decided to reach out to people, and make friends and check out other youtubers' channels.
If you are acting selfish and only expect other people to subscribe to you, follow you, like your videos, then you will be someone who is always going to fail at getting to the top. Why start a youtube channel, if no one is willing to support you and come watch your videos. It doesn't matter how beautiful you are, or what you can offer the world, if no one really likes you or care about what you have to come out with in the next video, you are going to lose out on so many subscribers.
I'm sure in your head, you're like I don't care about subscribers, and I don't care about views, then what da heck are you on Youtube for making tutorials ??? Anyways I really don't want to get into why some of you don't really care about growing your channel, but for those of you who do care about growing your channel, please follow what I'm telling you. You won't get anywhere without support and connections. Go out there and collaborate with people, talk to people, send messages, for GOD sakes I'm not asking you to cold call anyone, all you are doing is just sending a message through social media, how hard is that? The worst that could happen is that person thinks you are rude or annoying and tell you please don't spam my page. I on the other hand, I don't mind spamming comments like hey come check me out. This saves me so much time from having to hunt you down and ask you to come check me out, so if you are willing to spam me, I will surely come over to check out your channel .
So lastly, if you have found this blog under new asian beauty gurus, then you must be looking for someone like me ?? hahha, or maybe not, but I hope you come check out my videos, and see if it's something you like, if not oh well i hope these advice I have for you is helpful in starting your youtube beauty guru journey.
