[@MichelleGia]

Hello friends, hope everyones having a good week so far

[@annriya4566]

That's amazing 👏.. btw how old are you now?

[@MichelleGia]

@@annriya4566 hi:) im 21!

[@LaosHouse]

to those who are starting, just do it! Your editing and creativity will only get better with every next video.

[@MichelleGia]

Yesss!! Exactly!!

[@kimberllimeza]

100% agree first step is starting

[@urspanishguy]

I uploaded my first video 2 weeks ago and I am really proud with the result! i don’t know if i’ll think the same in a couple of months hahaha thanks for sharing this ❤️ I know everyone of us is going to succeed!! just keep going no matter what!! 💪🏻

[@MichelleGia]

OMG congrats🫶🏼!! Your videos look great, I love the editing:)) I believe in you, and the success of your channel🤭

[@urspanishguy]

@@MichelleGia omg Michelle that’s so sweet 😭 I really appreciate it, it literally means so much to me, thanks for your kind words!! 🫶🏻

[@alicjas5472]

Next week I am filming my first video and I was so happy to see you uploaded something like that. Very helpful 🥰

[@MichelleGia]

Im so excited to hear❤️You got this!!🫶🏼

[@ClameerasJourney]

POST it!im random subcriber haha.goodluck beautiful

[@jsuisjo]

omg I was literally freaking out on how to execute a first video (currently in the overthinking phase) and I saw this pop up on my feed 😫 you’re a godsend 😭

[@MichelleGia]

omg youre going to do amazing❤️im so happy and excited for you:) that was the longest part for me when I started so dw😭 I was waiting to feel "ready" but that time will never come, so just go for it! I believe in you

[@marionegal11]

I just found your video where you talk about quitting social media cause I did the same and I find your channel so cool! So excited for more :)

[@moonlover6491]

I was so overwhelmed and stressed about all the ideas steps and what I should do and do not, but I almost cried after I finished watching this video you made me feel so much better, it was actually so comforting and gave me a lot of courage to upload my first video as earlier as I can Thank you so much truly

[@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607]

Michelle you are a QUEEN for doing this!!! I’ve been thinking about starting a true crime channel that focuses on people of color, & I was too scared. I’m also really technologically inept so it’s scary for me

[@amyfinlayson]

That is awesome! do it :)

[@MichelleGia]

OMG I love true crime and I absolutely love that idea:) I support you 100%. Trust me when I started I knew nothing about technology either, its just one of those things where you keep on leaning as you go, and the learning never really stops! You can do this! I cannot wait to see what you end up creating❤️🥰

[@vlp7]

I finally made my youtube channel after a lot of overthinking and procrastination, you totally read my mind coz I needed this so bad rn. Thankyou so much

[@MichelleGia]

Yayy!! Im so proud of you:) Im so glad I could help in any way

[@lilaodermorado9796]

thank youuu this is very helpful since i was a little bit confused about the music and the editing app!!! very much love from me and your videos are super helpful for beginner creator out there 🫶🏻❤️

[@MichelleGia]

No worries at all🥺I'm so glad it could help in any way

[@EricKanavathi]

Yay! My go-to video for this one. Thank you, Michelle!

[@MichelleGia]

hehe no worries🥰you got this!!

[@margaridaperespereira]

Genuinely like your videos/work and messages! Keep going :)

[@MichelleGia]

Thank you so much🥹❤️

[@this_crab]

While I’m not really into making videos, your advices are applicable also to writing 😄 I’ve been trying to come up with a good beginning for the longest time, more than a year at this point. It’s discouraging, really. I always try to think that things come when the time is right, buut how much more do I have to wait?? 😒 anyways, lately I’ve been having a better creative time, but I think I’ll also try and use your method of writing down 100 ideas, maybe it’ll help a little 😅 it’s great to see you talking about something so eagerly, Michelle! I can clearly see how passionate you are about making videos 🧡🧡 it’s definitely making me a little more confident about myself and my writing 😁

[@MichelleGia]

yayy im so glad to hear🥰!! I know how you feel exactly!! Even these days I always get myself into a creative rut and try to wait until inspiration comes instead of actively trying to create a space for creativity to flow. Im happy youre having a better time now though:) your passion for writing inspires me❤️ Please keep going

[@whossevn]

so glad your back gia and hope your mental health and etc has been good ❤️. and your basically our therapist for some of us. now the thing with youtube i know what message i want to push, but the thing is i don’t know how to brand myself correctly. i want to do real life talk videos like you because i feel like I have stories to tell, but i also wanna do cooking videos and then lifestyle type videos. only thing is I don’t know how to section everything….like do I just make separate channels for every single one or should I just make everything on one channel because i’m lost.

[@MichelleGia]

awe thank you so much❤️thats a great question! I would say start off by trying all of them! And see which one you really want to focus on the most as you keep creating, the topics you've picked are pretty great because they do kind of tie into one another and you can really incorporate all of those and still have a general theme that your channel follows. I know a lot of lifestyle youtubers that also add cooking into thier vlogs, sharing mini recipes throughout their days, and occasionally they'll sit down and have a real serious conversation that people enjoy too! You don't want to niche down TOO much because you may feel bound to that topic for the rest of your vids, but just make sure theres an overall theme that you follow so your audience will have some sense of familiarity and certainty when they click:) hope that helps!

[@whossevn]

@@MichelleGia thank you gia and i just noticed at 9:27 where’d you showed a example of different speed rates for the camera…i’ve also wanted to know the name of that film because i’ve always seen the girl holding on the dudes back on Pinterest. so hopefully I can also get inspiration from there. oh what’s the anime at 10:12 on the poster because i know it’s a ghibli one

[@MichelleGia]

@@whossevn hi! The film with that scene youre talking about is called “Fallen Angels” and the Ghibli movie is “Princess mononoke”🥰

[@morningsausages]

omg the Powerpoint presentation 😂😭 u funny Michelle. I'm here for the comedy arc of your channel as you gain veteran KZbinr level confidence

[@MichelleGia]

LMAOOO im cryinggg😭😭 i felt like a damn fool reciting it. Much love to you🫶🏼

[@zuzu_1]

Awe thanks so much for making this video Michelle it was really helpful. I finally uploaded my first video, but then I got scared because I didn’t know what to make the next one about, and it’s been 2 months since then 😭! This was the push I needed to keep on going and not overthink it too much. Thanks love ❤️ wishing you the best!

[@kripashresthakks]

[@PhilipMurphy8Extra]

Making a video is much harder then the shorts format, Feels totally different in all honesty.

[@MichelleGia]

for suree, there are definitely different challenges that come with each format

[@lifeofswo]

What camera do you use to record these youtube videos?

[@haechanaceah6377]

Can I ask ?? It’s doesn’t matter with the outside things I have right? Cuz I’m really insecure about it and I want to start making my own one but don’t know what theme or content I should create!!

[@MichelleGia]

Not at all:) in the beginning you really dont have to worry too much about what exactly you want to create, just take the time to explore! Its so natural to be nervous, just dont be so hard on yourself

[@tanyajoyce7712]

I’m about to start posting again 💯

[@jennyhe]

im gonna post my first video soon after watching this haha

[@MichelleGia]

Best of luck🥹you got this!
