Chatty GRWM: STARTING A YOUTUBE CHANNEL + MAKING MONEY ON YOUTUBE | Lauren Self

[@Caitlyn.Campbell]

Lauren you're beautiful. Fellow youtuber support, gotta support one another on our journey here. Hope you have an amazing new year!

[@KaylaBuell]

Girllll your skin is flawless! Love this look! Great tips too ❤️

[@MeghanMeade]

I found your channel while I was TTC! You and Hayley Paige are two people who inspired me to start my channel!! I'm new at the whole youtube thing & I'm struggling with telling friends/family, and I'm nervous about people in my town finding out about my channel! I need to grow some balls and get over it but it's so hard to find that confidence! Thank you for this video & for always being an inspiration!

[@KellyonTelly]

Meghan Meade That’s how I am! A few [local] people have found my channel, and that is totally fine, but I’ve never announced it or used Instagram to try and promote it..It’s kind of nerve-racking!

[@mfamily7660]

Yes!! I feel the same way!

[@MeghanMeade]

@@KellyonTelly it's super nerve racking!! I know I just need to do it but I know most people won't understand the whole youtube thing!

[@MelissaFreeman]

I loved this video! I love all of your sit-down chit chat videos! I really enjoy being a “KZbinr” and hope to meet more like minded or relatable people in this community!!

[@LaurenAshleyVlogs]

Brody is my fav! And you’re gorgeous 💗

[@connellymccaskill5091]

I am a small KZbin momma!! We are 3 months in & loving every second! 🥰🥰🥰

[@KayteeKat91]

Love how you’re uploading so often ☺️ I really appreciate it. As a new-ish mum (6months old) I have limited time to watch KZbin so I’m very particular on what videos I watch 💕

[@ArapanaSadeo]

I am a small KZbinr and this video was helpful. I always enjoy watching videos like these because the knowledge is priceless. Thanks for sharing

[@kimberlygelinn]

Your no makeup makeup look is so good! you're so pretty! & Brody is so adorable!!

[@christianaquinn6756]

Such great info! Thank you for posting this information!

[@HomemakingwithPaola]

So glad I found this video. You’re so kind for encouraging everyone to go to the comment section, and support one another. I just started my channel about a month ago, and I’m glad I saw this video. It’s hard starting from 0 subscribers, because it’s really hard to engage people when you’re so small, but I also am shy when talking to others. I don’t want anybody to ever feel like I’m just using them, because I would hate someone to do that to me, but I feel sort of alone. Thank you for sharing so many great tips though, I’m going to keep working hard, because I have set out goals for myself, and I don’t want to let myself down because I didn’t “fit in”. Love you Lauren😊💛

[@avery_324]

I found this super helpful! Now that KZbin is so much more saturated it feels harder to know what really works and what doesn’t.. so it’s always helpful to hear from people who have been there! 👏🏼

[@HomechoolbythePond]

I started my channel about 2.5 months ago! Thank you for doing this video!

[@DenaeLynn]

I agree that YT is soooo different than it used to be! I wish I had started my channel years ago when I wanted. I really don't like doing cleaning videos but that's what so many of my subs want me to do after I put up some polls on my channel and IG. What would you suggest for that? I want to stay true to myself but also want to give my followers what they like. Aw, so sweet to have a coffee delivery! I love that you're promoting smaller channels to get to know each other...I love connecting with other YT mamas and finding that I'm enjoying a lot of the smaller channels more!

[@dayswithdaisy]

*Thanks for this Lauren! You’ve always been one of my favorites here on yt and instagram💗 This will definitely help me get closer to my goal of 500 subs!✨*

[@mfamily7660]

Good luck 💕

[@alicarolina220]

dayswithdaisy hi! Just subscribed to your channel!! Very entertaining 🤣 I just started on my channel too 🙌🏼 I would love your support being that we have similar content 😊

[@HomemakingwithPaola]

Hey! I just binged some of your videos & I thought you were super genuine, so I subscribed because, girls supporting girls 🙌🏼 I’m a new youtuber, I’m fairly small but I would love to support each other, since we make similar content :)

[@Heelsandholster]

I'm a tiny KZbinr. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@BeverlyMcQuillen]

Thank you for all the tips! Just started doing videos whenever I was expecting

[@Ea7a67]

This was the most informational video on the reality of starting a YT channel so I really enjoyed that. 🤗 thank you :) new subscriber for sure 💞💖

[@beautybykristy]

Hi Lauren! I have watched your channel for a long time, but I don't think I've ever commented? Loved this video, great tips! I love how honest you are! I also got scammed by a network back in the day, such an awful idea 😂 Have a great weekend! 😊

[@DenaeLynn]

Just subscribed, your channel looks a lot like the content I do and enjoy watching! I'm traveling today but looking forward to binging your videos!!!

[@beautybykristy]

You're so sweet - thank you! I quickly checked out your channel and you're right, so similar! Subscribing as well 😊

[@DenaeLynn]

Thank you, that is very kind but you certainly don't have to (unless you want to, lol)! I just wanted to let you know that I'm excited to check yours out!!!

[@danizrose9488]

I appreciate you sharing your tips for smaller KZbinrs like myself (: ♥️

[@shelbybunch5524]

[@AmandaLynnco]

AliCarolina Martinez Hey girl I just subscribed to your channel also let’s all help small channels grow 💪🏼

[@CherylGoer]

Thanks for sharing! I started my channel not long ago so I've searching for some advice!

[@BrittanyKenedy]

Love this thanks girl!! I have a channel as well and it’s hard lol but this was encouraging ! I’m an esthetician too 😍💕💕

[@LinetteArroyo]

Thanks fo sharing! I found your channel a bit ago and have binge watching your videos. ☺️

[@LaurenSelf]

That’s so sweet! I’m glad you’re enjoying them 💗

[@whitneypea]

Can I just put your face on mine??? You are so naturally gorgeous!! I love these GRWM, i feel like we’re all just hanging out getting ready together 😂 I’ve been scammed by companies too when I first started. It’s unfortunate that they take advantage of beginners, KNOWING we have no idea what the heck we were doing haha.

[@alicarolina220]

Hello! I just starting on my channel. I thought it would be an easy thing to do. But it does take a lot of time and dedication. Good thing is I came on here for fun and entertainment. (Even though I am looking forward to making some sort of income in the future) i really enjoyed this video!! Very helpful! 😊

[@LaurenSelf]

AliCarolina Martinez it definitely requires a lot of work being put in with nothing in return for a while! But it’s also a fun hobby to have

[@LaurenSelf]

🤗🤗🤗

[@LADHP]

I haven't decided yet if I want to start creating content. I've just got a small channel, and I've gone back and forth on if I want to grow! How did you decide to just jump in and go big?

[@JeannetteAnne]

I just started my channel! ❤️😊

[@bethh9192]

I really want to start a channel, but I’m nervous. I am a teacher, and I don’t want my students to think it is stupid.

[@ismellnagger]

Random question but have you ever gotten Botox? Your skin is flawless😊

[@LaurenSelf]

ashley reid no I haven’t! Not yet at least 🤣 thank you!!💗

[@AmandaLynnco]

Very helpful! I’d love if you did more videos like this. Helping smaller KZbinrs grow. I just started my journey on KZbin not too long ago and I’m very close to hitting 100 subscribers!

[@jamie-leedean6301]

Yayyy! Thanks for uploading this ❤️ Great info to know 👍🏻 My problem is I work full time and find it hard to sit down and edit when I’ve have a long day! I’m too lazy 😂

[@LaurenSelf]

Jamie-Lee Dean girl the struggle is real!! That’s my problem too 😭

[@mfamily7660]

Yess!! The biggest struggle!! Lol

[@tristapollard4324]

So I watched one of your videos, saw this video and decided to subscribe and when I clicked subscribe your number of subscribers hit 60k!!!!

[@ladasiablakeney1599]

Hi! I’m a small KZbinr. Right now I’m trying to find out what kind of videos I want to upload. I love vlogs and clothing hauls.

[@ThisIsUs2015]

Hi! Great video, I'm curious to know what determines the amount that you get paid a month. Do you get paid a certain amount per amount of views?
