Yess! The most tricky part about KZbin (imo) is knowing who your audience is, and how to find them (keywords/title/thumbnail). It took me years to figure out who my audience is (at the beginning I wanted to target everyone - wrong approach!), and I’m still learning. All the best with your journey, and I hope you find your audience too🥰

I found your channel after you had just moved to Beijing, via your apartment search video. It has been so heartening to see you grow while staying authentic to who you are. And I can definitely relate to what you said about the jealousy and comparing yourself with others. I've always dreamed of being a published novelist, but so far haven't found anyone who's willing to take me on. Every rejection of my book feels so personal -- like it's not just a rejection of your work, but of you as a person. And it's so hard not to compare yourself with others who have found more success. I'm looking into CBT in the hope that a structured programme like that can help with the mindset shift. It's so hard!

I am one of those people that found your channel through the "life without a job" video. I just wanted to give some insights on why I clicked on it. From 2017 to 2023 I was a software developer. I didn't want to sit in front of the computer all day every day building someone else's dreams. So I quit my job to travel and to eventually embrace more of a simple, slow living, hygge, minimalistic, mindfulness, essentialism, stocic, forest bathing, ikigai (a lot, I know, but look them up, they would all be amazing topics for your videos :) ) sort of lifestyle. And that was exactly what your thumbnail and title communicated to me. I didn't have much of a plan, but being able to see and hear about someone who did something similar resonated with me. And I think that might be why it blew up. There's a lot of tech people who dream of quitting their job for a more simple lifestyle, and tbh that niche is open and you fit it perfectly. I, personally, would love to see more of those types of videos. Ones that focus on the benefits of escaping the "rat race" and embracing the small simple things that really make you happy, and not just rushing through "life" so you can work more. Also the how-to and encouragement for others to make that leap of faith like you did. I love the style and aesthetic of your videos and think they really are perfect for this niche.

Thank you so much for the insight! There you’ve done it - seeing something in me that I didn’t even see in myself. I really appreciate it. And I agree - when I chat with my former colleagues almost all of them tell me they wish they could have done the same, but it’s just so hard to escape the rat race. I would love to make more vlogs that explore the struggles, lessons, and ups and downs of being on the other side. All the best on your journey too:)

MY GOSH I AM NOT ALONE :0 !!! I recently stumbled upon your channel and I couldn't believe how relatable your content is to my personal experience. Like you, I found myself trapped in the corporate world (for 14 months), despite it not aligning with my true passion. Your videos about thriving for an enjoyable life and shedding light on the realities of corporate life really resonated with me, especially when you talked about feeling completely drained after work with just enough energy to watch TV. I wanted to reach out and let you know that you are not alone in this struggle. I have actually created a short movie-like video that delves into my own personal journey of those 14 months in corporate, highlighting the highs and lows of the experience. Given how much I felt I was not alone watching your content, I thought you might find it interesting to watch. I genuinely believe that you will be able to empathize with my story and perhaps even find some inspiration in it :) I'm truly excited to be a part of your community and I look forward to supporting your channel going forward. Keep up the amazing work!

I’m just recently learning this so just sharing my thought out loud - very interested to hear from others too. For me it’s about setting a deadline, and working backwards (*Cough* Amazonians out there?) to see what are the things that truly matter that I can fit in that timeline, the end goal being getting a story out that I think is worthy of sharing. This simple mindset enables me to let go of things my mind wants to obsess with, that don’t align with my goal. Otherwise, I get into deep overthinking too, and that leads to ideas dying in my head.

But nevertheless, your vlogs remind me, a recent college grad looking for work right now, that I don't have to work a corporate job or do what everyone else is doing in order to be happy. And also tbh I relate to your inability to focus on things you don't care about. That inability is kinda making it hard for me to apply to jobs in the first place.

However, I do wish that I could have asked myself "What do you really want to do" when I was job hunting in college. Good things take time. You got this, and I'm rooting for you!

But I am hopeful that making youtube videos encourages me to spend more time with my own interests.

it’s extremely powerful to me to see you talking to your cam in public,, stares and all, just locked in… that’s my biggest block is wanting to film in public but crumbling over drawing attention to myself. I commend you so hardddddd

Thanks so much for saying that! I become very very self conscious too filming in public. For me, believing “I’m a KZbinr, this is my job” instead of thinking “oh…I’m just making videos” makes a huge difference. All the best on your journey✨

I just lost my job from layoffs and been watching videos about what others have been going through and what they are doing now. So much of what you talked about resonated with me beyond making a youtube channel. Discovering passions, numbers not mattering, genuinely loving something, even the time management which I am horrible at haha. But thank you for sharing and opening up as it is helping more than I can put into words

I resonate so much with this video! I'm 28yo and quit my tech job last year and started a youtube channel to share about sustainability + travel. Definitely keep reminding myself to post what I want to share vs continuing to think about whether there is a demand/interest, because I'm posting for myself! Thank you for sharing :)

This is so beautiful and strongly resonated with me as a small creator and also a corporate dropout (though I gave up my job because of burn out and anxiety rather than believing in my dreams, sad as it is, ugh). Also, maybe it is a bit weird thing to say but it happens so often that going viral is actually not good for long term channel growth. I feel like I had an unintentional viral video early on in my KZbin journey and I feel like it hurt more than it helped - it created unrealistic expectations (both for myself and my audience) and a lot of the new people who subscribed wanted more of that same topic even though it wasn't the channel's main focus. I feel like building you audience slowly and steadily will be a lot more sustainable

I really relate to the self compassion part i have always been my own worst critic and it is so hard to train your brain to think any differently. I also always find something wrong with me. i’ve been working in therapy about this and how to kind to myself but also accept that that part of me isn’t a bad part of me it just has become too big and it doesn’t leave room for the part of me that is excited to learn something new or proud of me for trying. it is good to be able to give yourself constructive criticism but when it just becomes criticism it isnt healthy.

oml im so happy this video popped up in my feed and i clicked on it - I'm a college student rn who is feeling absolutely so lost and dreading the idea of following the traditional corporate path - i really want to pursue something where i can feel happy doing it in the most natural way and travel the world but sometimes i fear I'll regret not sticking to traditional path haha

Focusing on things I care about is so much easier and I can go for hours when I'm creating content (much harder in my corporate job). Thank you for sharing your story and struggles, Evelyn! I love your content.

This video was randomly recommended to me and I'm glad it was! It's carzy to see how many of us are going through the same feelings. Cheers for being brave, vulnerable and loyal to your heart. Onwards and upwards ❤❤

Your content is like a breath of fresh air 😌 Thank you for your bravery and dedication to post! Sharing is caring but it can also be very hard. Seeing someone else on their self-disccovery journey, and being so open with their trial and errors gives me (and I'm sure sooo many others) so much comfort. Very happy to have stumbled upon your channel!

Well, I'm not that used to commenting on videos but this one made me think a lot. I'm in my 30's, hopelessly unsatisfied with my full-time job, anxious and miserable about it, and desperately needing to change my life somehow, n to surround myself with people I respect and love. Your words got me thinking about starting my own channel. I think it will be a depressing mess, considering my current mindset, but I think I'll give a try. Thank you for this vídeo, seriously

I’ve been on KZbin for a little over 2 years now but I haven’t had the progress that I thought I’d have by now. It’s so disheartening.. 😢 but I still make videos because I enjoy filming and editing. Congratulations on your success!! 🥳🥳 thanks for the tips 🫶🏼

So glad I found your account!! I am a 30 year old introvert trying to explore how to be creative outside of corporate America (and maybe become a dropout one day). Excited to keep following your journey

Consider yourself seen and validated! You have described so much of what I have felt about starting on KZbin! Thanks so much!
