What was your favourite part of the video? LMK in the comments! Also: *Get My EXACT Content Planner Notion Template here:* vanessalau.thrivecart.com/content-planner/

[@FrancineHasCancer]

um...all of it? You are a gem of a resource us less seasoned KZbinrs. Thank you! 💗

[@HappierbySeppy]

I just bought the template and I'm *SO* excited to play around with it and get my sh*t organized for my KZbin channel!!!!

Your breakdown of how to use the inspiration tab in YT studio was an eye-opener for me. Didn't know anything about 'Content Gaps' before. So Thanks very much!!

[@LightsaberPanda]

My favorite part is the morning pages section. Side tangent... Not that you're inauthentic, in any way. It makes me wonder if you had to go through a phase where you had research topics on what was trending first for a few years before becoming as authentic as you are now Vanessa? If you made videos like this at first, do you think you would have blew up as much as you did?

[@britneycollins]

Your authenticity is shining through in this video. You can see and feel a big difference in you since your break. It’s like you’re breaking a glass ceiling. Your videos were already great but now they’re even better.

[@KARYOUHOME]

Thats so true! My thoughts exactly. Loooove Vanessa’s new videos & I feel connected to her. The value is massive!!

[@VanessaLau]

Thank you so so much. This means a lot to me and took a lot of inner work to get here. Can't wait for what the future has in store!!! I feel like I'm still trying to find my footing so it makes me so happy that you can feel my intention :)

[@zhiishuochobotte9752]

I just love the way she talks... Her accent, everything... I could go on for hours watching her speak and never get bored.....

[@VanessaLau]

OMG lol!! im so curious what accent do i have!?

[@TechWandererYT]

It’s the authentic era and I’m here for it. Will indeed follow this path too going forward.

[@VanessaLau]

YASSS! Authentic era is the hardest yet best era. It really takes a lot of inner work to feel safe enough to just be YOU!

[@TechWandererYT]

@@VanessaLau just ordered the artists way btw, thanks for the tip

[@TarotDesdelaConsciencia]

I loooooove how authentic you are since you came back. You have inspired me so much to make big changes in my own channel.

[@AnikaByun]

hello Vanessa! I have recently been more of a silent subscriber, but I just wanted to hop on and share that I have found your content very information and authentic, despite the fact that I've only watched a handful so far. I have watched my fair share of other youtubers with a similar niche, but yours resonates the most. Thank you so much for all the energy you put into each video

[@persianskater4624]

I wanted to let you know how grateful I am for you and your content. In 2019 I discovered you and you had made a video about how to organize your bio. That video took me as far as creating two business pages that grew up to 100k followers combined. Plus other smaller pages that made me money. I stopped watching your content towards end of 2021 because I felt disconnected from you. When you went on a sabbatical and came back and shared how you felt less authentic lately I felt so validated for when I felt disconnected to you. Now that you’re back with your authentic videos, believe it or not it makes me super excited and search your page to see if you’ve posted anything today almost daily. Your new videos are making a difference in my business and content creation daily. I am very happy to have your authentic self back making videos! Appreciate you V 🎉

[@Rainbow-i3p]

This comment deserve more like!!!! I hope Vanessa appreciates such incredible comments!!

[@ImjustmeNatalie]

This is probably one of the most valuable videos i have ever watched ❤

[@naturalwitchery]

This side of you is really refreshing. Never give up and being you, knowing that will continue to change and evolve as you grow. Cheers!

[@urbangardeningcanada]

This video is literal gold. Like the type of video you come back to multiple times to make sure you really got everything you taught. Thank you!

[@suvendroseal1724]

Venessa's bangs and her back hair tie-up combo is one of my favourite hairstyle ever now. She looks like such a cutie, love it.

[@DOLCEKAYEXOTICAL]

Ikr it’s so gorgeous

[@VanessaLau]

AWWW thank you so much!!!!!

[@renegodefroy]

This is a very useful and informative video. You literally gave away your whole blueprint for free. Thank you!

[@TheModernStoicg]

Thanks for sharing your process! I love how you focus on personal experiences for content ideas-it's such a refreshing approach that really resonates. The Notion setup looks super helpful too! Can't wait to try out the morning pages technique. Keep up the great work!

[@mrmoeezali]

These videos are so practical, I especially loved the part where you explain how changing it from how to to How I do it, and it turns this heavy weight into a very light manageable expectation that you're putting on yourself and on the content itself.

[@VanessaLau]

Ahh I'm glad you liked that shift! It absolutely took the pressure off for me even with this youtube series!

[@AfroLatinaSoul]

Once you use it a bit, you can ask ChatGPT to identify your tone and style and then ask it to save it as [name] voice. I told ChatGPT to always respond in Jasmine’s voice, so all responses are tailored to how I authentically speak. Great video! Exactly what I was looking for as I start my channel. I love how you SHOW and TELL with useful examples that are easy to implement. And thank you for the notion template!

[@TheLatinaBurnoutCoach]

This is awesome!! Love this tip !

[@HappierbySeppy]

I've said this before but I am *SO* happy you are back on KZbin!!! And *THIS* kind of video is exactly why : it is SO helpful and clear and I LOVE seeing your more relaxed side. More of this, Vanessa! Thank you for the value you are giving us!

[@ujujennifer07]

This information is gold, i literally watched to the end. Thank you for sharing, Vanessa.

[@sleuththewild]

I LOVE the point about changing "content ideas" into "thoughts, experiences, lessons, and stories". That does seem like a great way to find your voice and use it. I immediately changed my Trello board title to reflect it. I also love the "new" you: it's very refreshing. I'm an old lady, and in my experience, the way you speak from the heart is hard to achieve: I'm still looking for my voice!

[@KevinYeePharmD]

By the way Vanessa, thanks for showing off the inspiration tab. I've always used external tools, but it was so helpful when you broke down how to use in the inspo tab along with the content gaps. New era of Vanessa is super fire 🔥

[@LaurenAngela_aufDeutsch]

This video is maybe the best video I have seen on KZbin for more established creators. It’s jam packed and amazing. OTW to buy the template and sign up for your newsletter. Good job, you’re on the right track.

[@CheesyPaninie]

Thank you for sharing, Vanessa! I was literally brainstorming video ideas when I saw that you uploaded!

[@VanessaLau]

YAY! I hope this video helped!

[@stefilane]

You are SO organized which is inspiring. This is my weakest point with the creation process. Thanks for sharing. Will need to rewatch.

[@joelopara2277]

0:45 gave me a good laugh 🤣. I am about to start my youtube journey and I searched for how to script videos with your name vanessa. Thank you for sharing, I will implement them

[@sydneyinprogress]

Love this video, Vanessa! Thank you for this series. I just started my own channel and I have a lot of learning to do! This has been so helpful and I am binging your videos about KZbin, but I know I will definitely be revisiting these videos as well! ❤ BTW nugget looks like a floofy pillow 🥹

[@charlesbell5500]

Such a respectable person and content creator. You always put all your energy into your videos and you always give unique and helpful tips and advice. If someone played this video for me, I'd think it was part of an expensive online course!

[@ProjectUntethered]

Wow this is gold.

[@matthewlock888]

I’m toying with starting my own channel after several synchronicities have pointed me in that direction. Just wanted to say the information you’re sharing here is so useful to someone starting out, thank you

[@TheLatinaBurnoutCoach]

Wow friend! This is amazing- as a notion user this is super helpful to see how all the links are related through the pages… I struggle with typing a huge page of copy, ideas, and inspiration, etc… it’s just not easily actionable bc it’s not streamlined like this… so THANK YOU!! 🙏🏽 ❤

[@yahayaoyinkansola8258]

I really love your authenticity and vibe, you are sharing a lot of helpful knowledge, even beyond KZbin ❤

[@roberthenrypoet]

Vanessa: I love the reframing of making content as thoughts, experiences, lessons, and stories. :)

[@AfroLatinaSoul]

So happy I found you. Clear, simple content creation tips.

[@mickthewanderingnomad]

Hey, Vanessa! Just want to come here and express my appreciation for your authenticity. I started to follow your channel after you come back from the break, and I really enjoy your new style of videos, it just feels so comfy and cozy and it's like talking with a friend who knows a lot of stuffs. Love your work and I'm always excited to see your next video! 🥰

Amazing video, Vanessa! I'm new to KZbin and am trying to figure out how to script the cooking videos I have to film. I'm thinking about checking out some KZbin videos on how to script. Great tip on the ChatGPT prompts. I will be using those.

[@VanessaLau]

Yesss Journalling is so underrated. Everyone talks about it but few people actually do it. But when you try to make it a habit, it does wonders for your mental health AND content!

[@Rootscogoogleads]

The series has been great! I was wondering if your next series or at least keep this as an idea. Could be on how to use KZbin to grow a small business. There's tons of videos on coaching, memberships, Etsy, digital products, ECT. But there's almost nothing on small business owners using KZbin to grow their business. For example, I run Google ads in the legal niche. I would love to know how to structure my (brand new starting Jan) channel in a way that would just draw in clients

[@BuildNewTowns]

I like the Thoughts, Experiences, Lessons idea!

[@VanessaLau]

yes!! helps open your mind up more!

[@RickyGarcia_Learning]

Thank you for the tips the ideas part was really helpful because sometimes on my other channel I'm working on coming up with new video ideas and the bullet points for the script I may try out because I tend to write everything out and speak and sometimes my friends tell me to change it up to try and add more of my personality in when I speak instead of sounding like I'm reading from a script/presenting

[@hanleyleung]

I like how you linked your video to the next in the series you haven't filmed yet. I've been struggling with that and have only been linking to previous vids for that reason. going to try what you just did on my next series :)

[@VanessaLau]

LOL, tbh it was kind of a mistake haha but its ok, next week ill just update the endscreen :) and its what felt most authentic to say at the time

[@hanleyleung]

@@VanessaLau so what your best way to handle when you want to endscreen to a video you haven't made yet? I guess you clip off the end where you talk about the next video and once you've made it can revert it back to original?

[@VanessaLau]

@@hanleyleung I think i'd probably do what you just saw in this video, the upcoming video is only not ready temporarily - so i think just saying something similar to what i did in the video should be fine ideally its a previous vid you made, that's the easiest. or something i'd be interested in trying isuploading videos backwards, so sometimes i wonder if this would have been more effective if i did the series backwards. what do you think?

[@Naturalethics-NE]

Thank you for sharing this video! Very helpful

[@AgingOnYourTerms]

So much truth here. When I started my channel in May, I listened to the gurus and left out my personality because they all said, "People just want the information they searched for. They don't know you and they don't care to know you." Once I started sharing the 'Yhis happened to me/my family, but you can avoid it by doing X, ths game changed. Glad I stopped listening to the gurus. ❤
