How YouTuber Erin Busbee Established Herself As The #1 Fashion Channel For Women Over 40
Whoās ready for a super value-packed, deep and exciting episode about YouTube growth, from someone whoās seen it all for the past 6 years? I donāt think youāre ready! Fashion YouTuber, Erin Busbee aka Busbee Style is here and she was so generous with her time and with all her YouTube secrets. If you want to learn how to go from a trickle of views, to constantly over a million views a month and swimming in affiliate income, youāre in for a treat! āIf you can take more of a strategic approach, you can grow faster.ā Erin was working in TV news as a journalist, but after getting married and moving to Texas, that was a life she didnāt want to go back to. Instead of getting another job, her husband encouraged her to take that time to pursue her passion. She wasnāt sure what that was, but she knew what was on her heart was āhelping women feel prettyā. That led her to start a business consulting women on their wardrobe - organizing their closets and being their personal shopper. The more it grew, the more restless she felt. She wanted to help even more women, and scale the business more and more. But scaling it by training others to do her job wasnāt giving her the satisfaction she desired. So, blogging and YouTube was born. That was in 2014, now almost 6 years later, she has almost 300k subscribers and gets over 1 million views a month helping women in their late 30s to 60s look and feel pretty! āKeep pushing your creativity and adding freshness and excitement for your regular viewers.ā Even though her channel is at almost 300k subscribers now, a year later after her channel started, in 2015, she was at 10k subscribers and barely growing. At a rewardStyle event, she met someone who grew her channel really fast, and that gave her the inspiration that it was possible for her too. So she dove into research and brought a new level of focus and energy to her channel and it started to pay off. She doubled her subscribers in 2018 to 86k, and now, not even 2 years later, sheās shattered that record. In this episode, weāre diving deep into her process. She breaks down exactly how she coordinates her team, exactly how she uses analytics - and how you can too - to optimize her videos for people to watch from start to end, she breaks down how she creates her viral hits so predictably for a niche that isnāt very large, she breaks down how she runs her blog, YouTube, her IG, and social media seamlessly - and has all of them thriving, and so much more.

Smart, Strategic Youtube Hacks That Will Grow Your Channel Fast Like Schellea Fowler
Whether youāre a woman over 50, or just hungry to make it big on YouTube, youāre going to want to check this out! Lifestyle YouTuber Schellea Fowler, aka Fabulous50s, is sharing her secrets and going deep in lessons on how she grew to almost 600k subscribers in less than 3 years in a niche you really wouldnāt expect. Gain the upper hand by learning all you can in this weekās episode! āWhatās kept me going is knowing Iām helping women feel like theyāve got a lot more life left to live.ā Schellea got inspired to start on YouTube after she and her husband sold their business and retired when she was 49. They went on to travel, live it up and do all the things they dreamed of doing. But the problem was that after enjoying herself non-stop, without a new goal to chase, it became boring for her. So she started her channel, in July 2017, to have an impact at scale, taking what she does face-to-face with her clients and doing it on YouTube. She focused her niche on women over 50 and got to work. Initially, she was kind of shy and afraid to put herself out there. She wanted people to watch her videos, but she was afraid of being seen. But she pushed through and after 6 months of doing it, she felt more comfortable with boldly sharing her message, and that reflected in her channelās growth. One video blew up to over 2 million views and her channel blew up as well. Now she has almost 600 subscribers in a little more than 2 years! āThe turning point for my YouTube success was definitely when I finally felt comfortable with myself.ā In this episode, Schellea breaks down the philosophy behind her channel and gives us her insights and lessons into not just growing SUPER fast on YouTube, but building a channel youāll be proud of that will stand the test of time. Enjoy! āFeeling solid within yourself helps you appreciate what you have instead of always wanting more.ā Check out the show notes Join the Zero to Influence Bootcamp waitlist Download your FREE guide:Ā 6 Tools YouTubers Use to Get Thousands of Video Views Don't forget to join the Beauty and the Vlog Facebook group for collaborations, YouTube advice, support and more!

The Future of Being An Influencer (2020 Stats you need to know NOW)
Influencer Marketing Hub, in collaboration with CreatorIQ, runs a yearly survey and the results are out. In this solo episode, I'm reviewing the highlights of this report with you and giving you my thoughts on how the results will impact you. 4,000 brands, marketing agencies, and industry professionals were surveyed in regards to their perspective on influencer marketing. The makeup was broken down into: - 34% were brands - 31% work at marketing agencies that work with influencers - 4% were PR agencies - the rest were industry professionals Of those surveyed, the most popular vertical represented is Fashion & Beauty (24%), followed by Travel & Lifestyle (13%), Health & Fitness (12%), Gaming (7%), Sports (5%), and Family, Parenting & Home (5%). Growth The Influencer Marketing Industry is set to grow to approximately $9.7B in 2020. This means that the growth in influencer marketing over the current year, 2019 to 2020, has seen the estimated market size increase from $6.6 billion in 2019 to $9.7 billion in 2020. We are fast approaching a market size of $10 billion.Ā More than 380 new influencer marketing-focused agencies and platforms were established in 2019. These were created in response to making this process easier - so more apps and companies have come on board to help with this partnership and relationship. Regulation Only 14% of influencer posts sampled were fully compliant with FTC guidelines. If influencers don't improve their performance soon, there is a real danger that the FTC and CMA will start prosecuting rather than just warning and educating. However, it is an improvement on last yearās results, with only an 11% compliance rate. Platforms and Engagement Tik Tok is the MOST downloaded app in the apple store at 33 million downloads. Micro and nano influencers have better engagement rates than influencers with 100k followers. This is particularly evident on Instagram, where nano-influencers with fewer than 1,000 followers have seven times the engagement rate than mega-influencers with greater than 100,000 followers (7.2% vs. 1.1%). This pattern shows at every follower-number level in between these extremes. 300% more micro-influencers were utilized by large firms than in 2016 Almost 90% of all influencer campaigns include Instagram as part of the marketing mix. Here are some excerpts from the report on the topic of engagement: The shift from "celebrities" to influencers The ratio of mega-influencers (with 1 million+ followers) to micro-influencers (with fewer than 100,000 followers) rose from 1:3 in 2016 to 1:10 in 2019. In other words, there are now 10 micro-influencers for every mega-influencer, compared with 3 micro-influencers per celebrity in 2016. Working with Influencers 84% of respondents said that they upped their content. That means they are hiring more and more influencers to create that content. 91% of our survey respondents believe influencer marketing to be an effective form of marketing. 2/3 of respondents are looking to INCREASE their spend on influencer marketing in 2020. This is further proof that influencer marketing remains successful and shows no sign of slowing down. After a few years of robust growth in influencer marketing, you might have anticipated the movement of marketing budgets to "the next big thing." However, that hasn't happened yet ā brands and marketers can still see the effectiveness of influencer marketing and are not yet searching for something new.Ā 65% of our respondents measure the ROI from their influencer campaigns. The most common measure of influencer marketing success is now conversions/sales. Influencer fraud is of increasing concern to respondents. More than 2/3 of respondents have experienced influencer fraud Finding the Right Influencers Finding influencers is the greatest challenge for those who run campaigns in-house. Audience relationship is the most important factor when looking at influencers: 53% said that audience relationship is #1, the second most important factor is content production at 27%. When evaluating influencers to use in campaigns, 41% of the survey respondents rated engagement or clicks as being their most important criterion compared with 26% who opted for content type/category or 25% who consider views/reach/impressions to be the most important. More than half of survey respondents have worked with 10 or fewer influencers and a further 27% had worked with 10-50 influencers and 12% with 50-100 influencers. Survey respondents spend more on micro-influencers today than they do on celebrities Respondents spent 47% of their influencer budget on micro-influencers (compared to just 23% for celebrity influencers). What does this mean for you? Bottom Line: This is an exciting study, and as an influencer you are in the right spot. These statistics should further encourage you in pursuing your career as a content creator. The marketing world is taking notice and is spending much more time, resources and money on influencer marketing. What does that mean? There are more and more opportunities for YOU, the influencer. How do you take advantage of this? Continue to create good content, be clear on who you are serving and bring your best self to camera (if on YouTube).

Why Sarah Therese Left The YouTube Beauty Community (and Grew To Nearly 1 Million Subscribers After)
Authenticity is everything today. When we follow the path that lights us up, we'll find success, no matter what. Our guest this week took that inspiration to a whole other level. She trashed over 200 videos and totally changed her niche, but instead of fading away to obscurity, she soared to almost 1 million subscribers! Lifestyle YouTuber Sarah Therese shares her story, process, and philosophy, plus all her video secrets! āIād rather make videos Iām hugely passionate about for 10k people than ones I'm not for 200k people.ā Sarah is a mom of three who has been on YouTube since she was a teenager. She used it as a way to find her own creative outlet away from her 2 siblings. In 2017 a conversation with a friend showed her that she could stay home with her kids and be creative and earn a decent income. So she dove into YouTube more seriously. She started in the beauty niche and racked up over 200k subscribers, and went full-time on YouTube. But over time life got more hectic and she grew away from beauty. So she changed the entire focus of her channel to health and beauty, and her subscribers came along for the ride! Since then sheās grown to almost 1 million subscribers and has several million views on her videos, all while running her one-woman show and homeschooling three kids! āPeople actually come back to my channel for me and just the things I have to say.ā Sarah has a refreshing approach to YouTube that I think has made her impervious to the algorithms. When she switched niches entirely AND deleted hundreds of high performing videos, she gained subscribers, raving fans, brand deals, and revenue. Itās all because sheās passionate about her craft. She only focuses on improving for the next video, and she doesnāt stop to look at what others are doing. She doesnāt lead her life by what keywords are on-trend, she makes what sheās driven to make, no matter the performance. Thatās worked out for her so far. Youāre going to learn more about her philosophy, how she picks content ideas, her journey through changing niches and so much more. Enjoy! āThere are too many people who sit on their past videos. Come up with new content more often.ā Check out the show notes Join the Zero to Influence Bootcamp waitlist Download your FREE guide:Ā 6 Tools YouTubers Use to Get Thousands of Video Views Don't forget to join the Beauty and the Vlog Facebook group for collaborations, YouTube advice, support and more!

This Full-Time Harvard Student Went From 0-250K Subscribers in 1 Year with Sienna Santer
Whatās the TRUE power of a niche? You hear so often that picking a niche is super important, but how much of a difference does it really make? Our guest this week, lifestyle YouTuber Sienna Santer started vlogging her experience with #dormlife at Harvard and virtually overnight became a viral success. Weāre peeling back all the layers and exposing every single detail. No stone will be left unturned! āWho cares if I stand out a little bit, Iām here to do something different.ā Sienna was always passionate about filming and editing videos for her friends and family from all the YouTubers she enjoyed watching. So when she took her gap year and traveled, she decided to throw up a few videos. They didnāt do great for her growth, but she enjoyed the process. When she moved into Harvard, she filmed her moving and dorm room decoration and thought sheād make a vlog one day, but with a new school and environment, time got away from her and she shelved that idea. That was until December. She edited together the videos she filmed on her iPhone and uploaded it. It went viral. Within a week it got over a million views - itās sitting at over 5 million views right now. In 2 weeks she went from 2k to 35k subscribers. Now she has over 332k subscribers! āI have a really loyal fanbase that supports me no matter what I do.ā People were hungry for her Harvard student perspective, and not many people were sharing it. So that was the niche she decided to stay in and dominate. She had an opportunity being a new student to speak to an audience that wants to go to Harvard themselves one day, or who wants to know what itās like from someone seeing everything for the first time. As she levels up, thereāll be more and more opportunities to show different perspectives as she herself changes. One thing we need to pause and remember is that there are many viral hits that go extinct when the fame dies down. But sheās done what all of them wish they could do: turn those curious viral viewers into an ongoing raving and caring fanbase who want to know about HER - the person. Weāll be talking about how she did that in this episode, and so much more. Enjoy! āYouāre not always going to be perfect. Youāre going to slip up, and thereās a beauty in that.ā Check out the show notes Join the Zero to Influence Bootcamp waitlist Download your FREE guide:Ā 6 Tools YouTubers Use to Get Thousands of Video Views Don't forget to join the Beauty and the Vlog Facebook group for collaborations, YouTube advice, support and more!

YouTube Trends for 2020 (Why You Need To Pay Attention To These!)
Are you confident about what you need to do to stay on top of your YouTube game? One thing's for sure about YouTube and that's the fact that the platform is constantly changing so you need to be able to adapt and change too if you want to grow. Not to fear though, I've got your back! In this solo episode, I'm sharing the top six trends to include in your 2020 YouTube strategy. Originality is KEY Audience expectations are higher than ever and they're tired of seeing the same old videos over and over. That means the more original you are, the more people take notice. In 2020 there is a lot of copycatting going on, but it's so worth the time it takes to get creative and put your own spin on different ideas. Some YouTubers I love who are on top of this: - Alyssa Beltempo focuses on slow fashion, the opposite of fast fashion which is so popular. - Natalia Taylor's video about zodiac signs was something unique and she consistently puts out videos that stand out. - I just discovered Andrew Jihn. His channel is totally unexpected - finance mixed with magic. Understanding Your Audience You've heard it before but I'm saying it again because it's absolutely crucial. You need to know your audience inside out to be able to create content they will love. Again for the people in the back: understanding your audience is critical. Knowing your avatar or ideal listener means not only knowing their pain points but understanding what would pique their interest and get them clicking fast. In 2020 it's all about understanding what they're curious about. The Celebrity Human Experiment People are always going to be obsessed with the uber-rich and famous, rich. In 2020, creators that comment on or try the routines, schedules, diets, and exercises of the rich and famous will do well. Here are some of my faves: - Mixed Makeup comments on celebrity skin routines - Keltie O'Connor did a video about Tom Brady's workout and diet that went viral and now does a ton of those videos that do very well - One of my bootcampers, Laura Jane Atelier, blew up her vintage channel by talking about the makeup and fashion of old Hollywood movie stars - Abbey Sharp is a dietician that comments on famous celebrity and YouTuber diet habits Niche-Related Trend Swiping Before you run in on the latest video trend, check-in with yourself. Is it relevant? In 2020, creators who leverage trends to reach new audiences will get great results but only when they're applicable to your audience and your niche. Find ways to tweak the trends to be relevant to you or leave them for other creators. Use Your Education or Profession Leaning into your profession on YouTube isn't a new idea but more and more doctors, lawyers, engineers, therapists, etc. are getting onto the YouTube scene and using their education and expertise as a way to provide information in an entertaining way. In 2020, professionals who can capitalize on their knowledge to comment on trends will do well. Thumbnails are King If you've been here before you'll know how important thumbnails are. So many people get super excited to make an amazing video yet they shoot themselves in the foot by leaving the thumbnail as an afterthought. In 2020, incorporate thumbnails into your workflow and put just as much thought into it as your video. 50% of your success on YouTube has to do with how effective your thumbnails (and titles) are.

So she decided to join to capitalize on YouTube more and pursue going full-time. Before that, she was doing different things dabbling on YouTube. She would make knitwear videos but the process was slow and not sustainable so in February 2017, after moving to Las Vegas, she decided to switch her niche to beauty and makeup.

Credit card debt is the worst way to fund your business!ā She had about 16k subscribers before joining the bootcamp. Now she has over 90k subscribers and is a full-time YouTuber, making money with AdSense and affiliates.

The Viral Video That Changed Her Life Forever with Keltie O'Connor
Fasten your seatbelts, the YouTube Power Hour Podcast is back and better than ever! Weāre kicking things off by giving you the step-by-step, behind-the-scenes of a viral video hit and breaking it all down for you. Fitness YouTuber Keltie OāConnor is our guest with the most today and I donāt think youāre ready for what sheās about to share. Let the rollercoaster ride begin! āYou should have a purpose behind youtube and your channel, but your content can change with the trends.ā Keltie found her love for video when a very progressive teacher in high school saw her struggling to write essays and suggested she do them in video instead. That love blossomed and followed her into university where she spent the next few years learning YouTube and honing her perspective as a fitness YouTuber. But in August 2018 she realized she was burnt out. She didnāt like the superficial content she was creating and she needed a break. So she decided to take her first vacation in 3 years and spend a week in Toronto. After that week she felt the pull. She packed her things and decided to move to Toronto from Edmonton and go all-in on YouTube. She spent her life savings, worked day and night, bartended on weekends to pay the bills and buy equipment and fund her to go to fitness networking events. By the start of 2019, her growth skyrocketed - she tells the story of the first time a video of hers went majorly viral and itās a roller coaster ride you have to hear for yourself! āThe only way youāll learn what does well is by doing it, and no one is watching when you start so take it as a blessing.ā Immediately after the high of success, she was thrown into the depths: dealing with creative burnout, overwork, second-guessing her message to her newfound audience and barely sleeping. 6 months of building her life around YouTube turned into one year. But she was driven by a light she felt was at the end of the tunnel, that if she could continue to sustain the pressure, it would all be worth it. And in March 2018, it all happened. She finally hit 100k subscribers and she was able to cut her bartending jobs and finally focus on YouTube full time! Youāre going to hear the full story, all the ups and downs and highs and lows from starting, her viral hits, and misses and the journey that led her to this moment. Enjoy! āEvery time youāre making videos itās so tedious but the second you press publish, you get that high and the video is out, and then you chase it again.ā Check out the show notes Join the Zero to Influence Bootcamp waitlist Download your FREE guide:Ā 6 Tools YouTubers Use to Get Thousands of Video Views Don't forget to join the Beauty and the Vlog Facebook group for collaborations, YouTube advice, support and more!

Todayās guest is a YouTube veteran with a unique brand identity who is ready to share how her individuality as an influencer has led to some awesome opportunities. Stephanie Ledda is a 26-year-old New York native with a passion for beauty and a unique eye for fashion. Her channel, SMLx0, has over 900,000 subscribers who look to Stephanie for inspiring hair, makeup and styling tutorials. She was a college student when she started her channel in 2009. A business management and marketing major, Stephanie enjoyed watching YouTube videos and decided to try it out herself. Using the webcam on her MacBook to make videos in her dorm room, she created celebrity-inspired looks and gained a modest following. Stephanie considered YouTube a fun hobby, but she didnāt realize its potential to become a career until StyleHaul and the YouTube Partner Program reached out to her in 2011. After graduating from college, she tried to balance a traditional job in marketing at a bridal boutique with her channel, but quickly recognized that she couldnāt do both ā and she really missed YouTube! Certain she could support herself through the channel, Stephanie quit her marketing job to pursue YouTube full-time. She definitely made the right decision, considering that sheās partnered with major brands like Schwarzkopf, Maybelline, Sephora, Ulta Beauty, and Tarte. Today she chats about sharing your personal life with your followers, the value of a degree, and how she chooses brands for sponsored videos.Ā Check out the show notes Join the Zero to Influence Bootcamp waitlist Download your FREE guide:Ā 6 Tools YouTubers Use to Get Thousands of Video Views Don't forget to join the Beauty and the Vlog Facebook group for collaborations, YouTube advice, support and more!

If you could work on YouTube full time, would you take that leap of faith? Our guest, Amanda Lee, went with her gut and decided to do just that! "It's kind of nice when what other people enjoy, and what you enjoy, lines up." 19-year old Amanda first started her YouTube channel when she was only 15 years old. She attended an art program in high school and, although art is definitely her number one passion, YouTube became a place for her to get away from art when it felt too suffocating. She started doing DIY and fashion and beauty videos and had about 60k subscribers when she graduated high school in August 2016. As an artist, Amanda felt like she could do a lot more on her channel. So, she decided to take a year off from school and do YouTube full time. She then made the conscious decision to rebrand her channel and strategize her content. By January 2017, she hit 100k subscribers. And when she transitioned into art and started her bullet journals, they became so popular that she has now gained more than 400k subscribers and 17 million views. "Find your groove, and once you do, it's enjoyable on both ends of the spectrum." Amanda first started her channel to get away from art but now it's what her channel is known for. She has definitely come full circle and you can too! If you have something you love and that you're truly passionate about, you might want to take that leap of faith and do YouTube full time!

Why You Don't Need To Be An Extrovert To Be Popular On YouTube with Silvia Reis of ellebangs
"Don't try to be something you think people want." YouTube is filled with bubbly and outgoing personalities who have become YouTube stars in their own right. However, having a YouTube channel is not exclusively for extroverts. If you have passion and knowledge to share, then what you actually have is the magic formula to become popular on YouTube! One such popular YouTube influencer is Silvia Reis, who goes by the name ellebangs in her YouTube channel. She's a popular hair guru and a Redken trained hairstylist living in San Francisco who shares professional DIY tips about hair color, cut, and styling to help people get their dream hair while saving some money at the salon. "Consistency gets people attracted." Shy and reserved, Silvia's personality doesn't quite fit the mold of a typical YouTube influencer. However, because she's passionate about sharing her knowledge about hair, she started her channel with her husband about four years ago to teach people some of the things she learned herself going through cosmetology school and working at various salons in the Bay Area. She loves everything hair and makeup and thought YouTube would be a good way to engage with other like-minded people. Currently, Silvia has almost half a million YouTube subscribers and 49 million video views. "The audience I have, I want it to be super genuine." So, remember, you don't have to reinvent yourself in front of the camera and suddenly become super bubbly and super outgoing to become popular on YouTube.

If youāre thinking of starting something to have a massive reach and impact, youāre going to want to take notes because we have Karissa Bodnar, owner of Thrive Causemetics giving away all the inside scoop into how she grew her business from zero to what it is today.

But when she hit a brick wall after losing her friend to cancer at 24, she came to the realization that she had to stop waiting and finally build the beauty company of her dreams.

She went from making a thousand dollars a day in sales to hundreds of thousands of dollars a day in sales, in just a few days, and kept growing from there.

That curiosity turned into a passion and that passion drove her to give back to the beauty community by starting her own channel and giving her pros and cons on the products being released today. Now she has almost 130k subscribers, she calls her tribe āsupportersā, she runs a jewelry business and is on her way to doing her own thing full-time. āDonāt focus on the numbers. If youāve got what it takes, your confidence will attract everyone.ā C Key loves doing videos with her family. She says out of all the awesome tutorials and reviews sheās done, it's the ones where she can create content with them that are the most impactful to her. She has two daughters, one 23 and one 18 and she wholeheartedly believes that youāre worth whatever it is you set your heart on. Thatās what drove her to open her P.O. Box and start tagging and pitching brands only 3 months after she launched her channel - if other YouTubers can get brand deals, so can she, so why not go for it? Weāll dive into these and other personality traits that make her so energetic and successful on YouTube in this episode.

We want to be up on every trend so we arenāt left behind, but rushing and posting non-stop is leaving us burnt out.

STOP Doing This on YouTube NOW with Erika Vieira
Do you get secretly frustrated or exasperated when a competitor or friend gets better results than you? If theyāre getting more views while youāre struggling to grow, it can feel like the worst. Here's the good news: it happens to all of us! But you wonāt show up as the best version of yourself when youāre comparing your self-worth, value and your work with others. On this solo episode, Iām talking all about how to break the pattern and free yourself from comparisonitis! Letās do this! āIf you make decisions based on what someone else is doing, it will take you down the road of distraction from you being the best version of yourself." Comparisonitis happens to all of us, it happens to me and it happens to my clients too. I get a bit jealous when I see people who've started their podcasts long after I did, popping up on Forbes lists and I see them - by my own perception - doing much better than me. A Client of mine I was working with for a little while finally hit the 20k subscribers mark. She was so happy and celebrating but totally went flat when she found out that her friend, who she encouraged to start her channel, blew passed her and got to 35k subscribers. Why do we do this? We have our own audiences, they have theirs, weāre measuring something that isnāt equal, yet it still hurts so much. āUnfollow and unsubscribe from anyone who brings out jealousy or comparisonitis out of you.ā So how do you fight this? How do you navigate the shark-infested waters of comparing yourself to others on Instagram and YouTube? Well, it wonāt be easy but you can do it, and I talk about how in this episode. Like everything, it starts with being aware of the negative behavior and where it shows up. At the end of the day, you donāt want to be in a bubble, avoiding every video to stop yourself from comparing. I know you want to take in inspiration and not allow the negative influences or your comparisonitis to act up. So, letās talk about how you get more aware of your comparisonitis and create a catalyst for you to shift it for good. āUse your why as a filter. If what you want to do makes sense to why youāre doing it then do that video. If not, then no one will want to watch that.ā Check out the show notes Are you ready to explode your YouTube channel and step into YOUR role as a YouTube influencer?

Getting Real and Vulnerable: My Story
Time to get really personal and vulnerable ladies... itās storytime! Iām sharing my entire journey with you, my ups and downs, how I fell in love with YouTube and talking to you about it every week, what Iāve learned from my failures and why I do this podcast for you! I hope youāre ready for this honest and open conversation. āI started thinking: if I'm going to continue with this podcast, I need to help more people.ā Itās funny to look back and think that Iāve spent so much time helping you and ladies like you to grow your channels for years, and I didnāt have a big channel myself. Not too long ago, I felt like an imposter whenever I thought about it. But I realized that all the time I couldāve spent growing my channel, I instead used it to grow many channels for my podcast guests who became my friends, and the people whoāve listened to my episodes and reached out for help. I realized that the information Iāve shared in my courses and in the Facebook group, and with anyone whoās asked, came from the experience of learning from several channels, instead of just my own. āYou can come up with all the reasons not to do something, and sometimes that negative voice takes over, but sometimes you have to get over yourself.ā I went from hating a job at Jamba Juice, working at Nordstrom, selling $55 million worth of real estate properties, trying to become an actor, starting an apparel business with my sister, getting burnt out and selling the apparel business with my sister, getting back in corporate America and having two girls, to finally finding something that fits. Doing this podcast and helping you with my programs feels like home. It feels like what I was meant to do and everything Iāve learned up to this point has made me totally awesome at this. Ready to hear the full journey? Well, listen up. "I knew I was going to do something in business, I just didn't know what."

How Blogger The Rachel Review Transformed Her YouTube Channel and Grew 40k Subscribers
Looking for some clarity around how to build a successful channel while balancing a full-time job? Want to go from a channel thatās confusing and flat to one that's vibrant and engaging? Itās time for another bootcamper success story! With a few viral hits under her belt and some massive growth, our guest fashion YouTuber Rachel from The Rachel Review is here to share her journey before and after the boot camp, and what sheās doing to be on track for 100k subscribers this year! āIf youāre doing YouTube to be famous online and make a lot of money, that will get you through the door, but it wonāt keep you there.ā Rachel is passionate about being an entrepreneur and running her own business, but her early journeys into it ended in failure. After she closed up shop on her online business, she started working for a wastewater management company so she could gain a mentor and hopefully learn enough to take another shot at entrepreneurship. During that time, her boyfriend pushed her to start her YouTube channel and share her passion for fashion. And she did, but it barely got off the ground with only 250 subscribers. She was growing slowly and getting discouraged until she found out about our Zero to Influence bootcamp. Now sheās at 38k subscribers and confidently on her way to close out the year at 100k. āNo one is going to like everything you have to say. People all have different experiences.ā Learning how to find her why and getting clear on what sheās good at were two of the most impactful things the boot camp helped her with. They opened her eyes to what she should really be doing on YouTube. If youāve been thinking about getting started and telling yourself that success is unattainable and you canāt be the next YouTube star, sheās here to tell you that she was right where you are, and she did it. And if she can do it, you can too. Her message for you is, āYou have to risk it to get the biscuit!ā āEvery video you put out and comment you get, youāre getting an understanding of what your community wants and needs from you.ā - Erika Check out the show notes Are you ready to explode your YouTube channel and step into YOUR role as a YouTube influencer?

Thereās a 100% chance that a great number of those creators donāt fit universal standards of beauty. Weāll get to universal beauty in a second, but you have to ask yourself, why arenāt you one of those people putting out video?

Everyone is beautiful in their own way, it doesnāt matter what anyone says, or said in the past. Beauty is subjective, what someone finds not beautiful, others will worship the ground you walk on. In all those variables, you need to control how you feel about yourself. because if you donāt think youāre beautiful and worthy of making your voice and face heard, itās better to hang up your ambition and donāt even start making videos for YouTube.

How Dr. Mona Vand Grew 200k YouTube Subscribers In Only 1 Year
Want a super simple way to grow your channel to hundreds of thousands of subscribers? Weāve got the goods for you today. Itās so simple youāre gonna wonder what the catch is, but our guest beauty and wellness YouTuber Dr. Mona Vand will be breaking down her explosive growth to 200k subscribers in 1 year and give you real actionable steps to follow! So listen up ladies! āItās exhausting to be somebody that youāre not.ā - Erika Vieira Dr. Mona Vand started in a place where a lot of us start out. She was very hesitant to jump into YouTube because she felt it was too saturated. But after building her brand on Instagram and Snapchat, and wanting to give even more value and go into even more details on what she was teaching - going into detail is what she loves more than anything - she decided to try it out. For her first set of videos, she did everything wrong and barely grew at all. But in December 2017 she scrapped everything and started over. She dropped the persona she was trying to be, an embraced her flaws and all, and thatās when she started to grow. One of her new videos hit 5k views and she was off to the races after that and hasnāt stopped growing since! āCreate really good quality content. Even if it takes a while, it will come.ā - Dr. Mona Vand Whatās unique about her experience was that she started already comfortable with being on camera, after having done many lives and stories on IG and Snapchat. One hack she used was to not reinvent the wheel. She was already doing well with her lives, so why not record her YouTube videos as she does her lives? If you watch any of her videos, you can tell how well that works! She is a lot more calm and herself than her older videos, and sheās gaining resonance with her audience because of it. She is a big supporter of just being yourself and focus on creating your best quality content and youāll grow.

What Fyre Festival Means for Influencer Marketing in 2019
The Fyre festival was one of the biggest scams in human history - thousands of people showed up for a party but got chaos instead. But itās also a perfect example of the power of well-executed influencer marketing! On this solo round, I talk Fyre festival details and what you can learn to do and to avoid as an influencer! āThere's a level of responsibility that everyone has to have because when influencers are involved, people take action.ā Imagine it: a magical escape, beautiful scenery, models and the promise of affluence and exclusivityā¦ Who wouldnāt sign up for that dream? Especially when all the influencers you know, love and trust are all talking about it? The āBigger than Coachellaā Fyre Festival fell flat and it really cast a spotlight on influencer marketing. The huge question of the day is, are brands going to be more careful with their budgets - keeping most of it out of the hands of influencers from now on, or will they see it as a successful proof of what could be and dive in head first? āThe time frame was way too short, their budget was way too low.ā If you havenāt seen the Netflix or Hulu documentaries yet, try to watch them with a skeptical eye. Neither of them has unbiased accounts of the event. The Netflix doc was made by the same people who promoted the festival - and thereās a lot of controversy surrounding their hand in the scam. The makers of Hulu doc, though they interviewed the kingpin himself Billy Mcfarland, paid him for his side of the story. So, thereās dirt on both sides, but both are still worth the watch. What do you think: do Ja Rule, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and the other models and influencers share in some of the blame, or were they all duped just like everyone else? āInfluencer marketing works. Influencers are the new celebrities.ā Check out the show notes Join the Zero to Influence Bootcamp waitlist Download your FREE guide:Ā 6 Tools YouTubers Use to Get Thousands of Video Views Don't forget to join the Beauty and the Vlog Facebook group for collaborations, YouTube advice, support and more!

The Secret to YouTube Success That You Need To Know with Raven Elyse
Success is something we all want to achieve but itās not always easy to come by. Youāve probably heard many YouTube content creators talk about their stories, how they first started their channels, how they struggled, and how they eventually gained thousands of subscribers to finally achieve YouTube success. However, when you look at the sheer number of YouTube channels out there, you can definitely say not everyone becomes successful.Ā So, what is the secret to YouTube success? "YouTube was my guilty pleasure." Luckily, the gorgeous and adorable Raven Elyse from Austin, Texas is sharing her own secret to YouTube success! "Always, real-life experience is better than reading anything in a book." Known for her transparency and her slightly sarcastic sense of humor, Raven often describes her life as #shambles. She first started posting DIY, hair, and makeup YouTube videos just for fun back when she was only a freshman in high school. By the time she graduated from college in 2015 with a bachelorās degree in Fashion Design, she was already a full-time media influencer. Her channel has grown consistently over time and she recently reached over 1 million subscribers and 95 million video views! "I naturally came up and grew as YouTube grew." How she did do it? What is the secret? Well, the secret is this: Being truly passionate about YouTube itself and not doing it for the money, fame, or views. Act as if YouTube will not pay you anything or get you any type of fame or recognition. You have to be THAT passionate about it, otherwise, you will give up and/or burn out. As for Raven, whether itās through her YouTube channel, blog, Instagram, or Snapchat, her ultimate goal is to entertain, educate, and inspire others. Thatās her passion.

But it didnāt happen overnight. She started in 2015 while in her freshman year at college doing musical theatre. Ā Her then boyfriend, now husband inspired her to try YouTube as a creative outlet and to try to become the next Jenna Marbles. She hesitated, but after she made her first video, she caught the bug, and sheās been posting a new video every Friday since. āDonāt pigeonhole yourself - give yourself room to try out new formats, and new series and new ideas and see what your audience likes.ā She took a while to find out what she was uniquely good at and qualified to lend her perspective to. According to her, she wasn't great at makeup, so that was a bust. There was something about fashion drew her in, but the content there only represented two extremes of the spectrum: the thin ladies or the plus-sized. So she decided to be the voice and face of the middle, the curvy population. Now sheās posting twice a week and has almost 400k subscribers! Sheās a queen on a mission to inspire all ladies to be confident in themselves and embrace their curves. āItās nice that what took off on my channel is something that I truly am passionate about and something Iām fulfilled by.ā Check out the show notes.

She lives in Edmonton, Canada with her family and sheās grown her channel to over 125k subscribers and 15.2 million total video views! She was bored working at a makeup counter and not being able to share her passion for makeup with her co-workers, so she decided to start a channel. From there, she fell in love with the beauty community. That was in 2014. āI am honestly living proof that anyone can start editing and start making YouTube videos.ā It wasn't until January 2015 that she really got serious and her posting frequency went way up. The video that put her on the map was a rant she did about her time working at Sephora towards the end of 2015. That video alone, over the next few weeks, skyrocketed her channel by almost a million views and tens of thousands of subscribers! āPeople will come for your content, but ultimately, theyāre gonna end up staying for you.ā After consistently posting 3 videos a week since January 2015, she noticed a disturbance in her energy. She was no longer making videos for the right reasons. Instead of the joy of sharing her experience and helping others, she was chasing numbers and statistics. So she took 5 weeks off YouTube to reconnect with herself. In this episode, Sari shares what led up to that and how else she handled her burnout to come back stronger. āI needed to take a step back and remember why I love making videos and refuel my passion for it.ā Check out the show notes.

She started her blog in October 2015 and did some consulting through it for a local boutique. She began to know other fashion bloggers that were starting at the same time and she connected with these women on a deeper level. She became best friends with some of them and she started a Facebook group for all of them to connect with each other, to share tips and ideas with each other, and encourage each other. Through that, Annie saw the power of an influencer community. Now, Annie connects women from all over the world through community and empowers them to do what they love through leadership and influencer education. Annie is the host of the Becoming Fearless Podcast, blogs at anniespano.com, and is a public speaker. āMy tribe is influencers because theyāre the same as me.ā Check out the show notes.

All About Podcasting The Good and The Bad | Ashley Johnson
Have you ever thought about starting a podcast? How is podcasting different from having a YouTube channel? How do you start a podcast of your own? If youāre asking these questions, you can get the answers right here in this episode! Our guest, Ashley Johnson, will share some tips with us as she tells us how she started her own podcast. āPodcasting is a lot less work than YouTube.ā Ashley was initially from Minnesota and she moved to South Florida when she started dating her now ex-boyfriend. When she moved half-way across the country, she would often have calls with her friend. One day, she accidentally recorded a conversation they had on her computer. When she discovered the recording months later, it just cracked her up! So, she decided to upload it. āItās still surprising how some people donāt know what a podcast is.ā From then on, Ashley and her friend decided to just start recording their conversations. They would talk about relationships and dating and, soon enough, people started listening. They first called the podcast Unedited Living. They didnāt edit anything, nothing was cut out, it was really poor quality, but it worked! People resonated with it! āI love podcasting. I love talking.ā After a while of doing that, Ashley changed the name of her podcast to Your Morning After and they still talk about their personal lives a little bit, but they also cover other podcasts, pop culture, and dating. Ashley doesnāt have a niche and she doesnāt need one. Podcasting works even if you just talk about anything under the sun!

If you could work on YouTube full time, would you take that leap of faith? Our guest, Amanda Lee, went with her gut and decided to do just that! "It's kind of nice when what other people enjoy, and what you enjoy, lines up." 19-year old Amanda first started her YouTube channel when she was only 15 years old. She attended an art program in high school and, although art is definitely her number one passion, YouTube became a place for her to get away from art when it felt too suffocating. She started doing DIY and fashion and beauty videos and had about 60k subscribers when she graduated high school in August 2016. As an artist, Amanda felt like she could do a lot more on her channel. So, she decided to take a year off from school and do YouTube full time. She then made the conscious decision to rebrand her channel and strategize her content. By January 2017, she hit 100k subscribers. And when she transitioned into art and started her bullet journals, they became so popular that she has now gained more than 400k subscribers and 17 million views. "Find your groove, and once you do, it's enjoyable on both ends of the spectrum." Amanda first started her channel to get away from art but now it's what her channel is known for. She has definitely come full circle and you can too! If you have something you love and that you're truly passionate about, you might want to take that leap of faith and do YouTube full time!

Bonus: 5 Lessons I learned about YouTube and YouTubers in 2014
As we wrap up 2014 and head into 2015 I wanted to take a minute and reflect on the many things I learned from interviewing YouTubers for the Beauty and the Vlog podcast. I condensed my new knowledge into 5 lessons. The 5 lessons are:
1.) Being a YouTuber is a LOT of work
2.) None of the YouTubers I spoke with got into YouTube for the money.
3.) Everyone on YouTube deals with haters.
4.) Being on YouTube brings a lot of opportunities outside of YouTube. We are able to "circumvent the traditional pathways to success" on YouTube.Ā
5.) Be YOURSELF!
