You don't sound egotistical - you sound confident, and aware of your abilities. No need apologize for being good. 🙂

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

Well I think it's important to be quite up front about the fact that I'm not just born with a crazy good business sense... it was acquired over many years and with many mistakes along the way, lots of learning experiences. I think that there's a huge disconnect in our society due in large part to the fact that nobody talks about their mistakes or lessons that were learned along the way. Social media promotes only sharing successes, looking great and glamourous and successful, and sweeping under the rug any downfalls or mistakes, but this is not realistic to the way life is, and I think it's important to be very clear about that!

[@Annie-ex3ge]

Oh please yes, fabric unboxing!! To a fellow quilter, this is better than chocolate!

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

[@coal.sparks]

+1 on the snarky commentary. :D

[@apcolleen]

On fb one of my meme groups I was in got popular fast. I replied to the mod post about it with "I'll miss you! I know you'll be batting down bots and trolls too often to keep up the community but it was great while it lasted." And it got toxic quick. Videos got reported for no reason, people got phished and hacked and caused trouble. Ugh. Sad and exhausting. Authenticity is refreshing and needed.

[@Julia-zj2ch]

Outlier here! Crafting nerd. House renovating nerd. Cute dogs nerd. Someone who has often wondered about many of the things you shared in this video. I'll watch and/or listen to you share quite a bit. (That house plant near you is insanely beautiful. The whole room is!) Honestly, I quit returning to comments I made on other people's channels because there were never any replies. Sure felt one directional. I was VERY pleasantly surprise recently when you DID reply to my comment. So good. See you soon.

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

Thank you! (and yes, it is a lovely plant... I think the name of it was found by some other viewers, if you feel like digging around in the comments section). I *do* try to respond to as many comments as my free time allows! It's not always 100% (and let's be honest, some comments are just not worth responding to), but I do put in a significant effort and investment of time. I think a lot of creators use the comments section to farm engagement rather than actually build and connect with a community

[@apcolleen]

I saw on Charlie's channel (the stitchery!) that one commenter posted "What are you gonna do with ALL THAT FABRIC!?" and they came back and EDITED IT and said OMG now I see what you're doing!" and they were on board lol.

Just a note on brand deals--I often skip that material on other channels because it just doesn't apply/appeal to me. You've done a good job integrating brands that are actually of interest/value to me. That said, I'm happy to have long meandering videos to keep me company while I work, so I'm happy to be an outlier.

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

Thank you! And of course inevitably there will be ones that are less interesting to you specifically... just means they're probably more interesting to someone else in my audience's demographic. But I love hearing that feedback, thank you!

[@daedubois9428]

I actually pay the $$ for the You Tube Premium, so no adds for me. I apologize (?) you probably don't get any $$ from me viewing. But I do view.

[@newmoonjlp]

Actually I do too, ​@@daedubois9428. My understanding is creators do get a cut of that subscription fee. In this case, Shannon is talking about in-program promotions, which we do see. So hopefully she is gaining more than one income stream from our views!

[@apcolleen]

@@daedubois9428 I got premium as well. I live where our internet goes out randomly because of fallen trees (we love out trees!) so like right now as its thundering and windy I already have The Stitchery's video downloaded for later JUST IN CASE... but also i can download a playlist for driving through national forests or the sticks or when Im tired of commercials on the radio. But also you can turn your screen off and listen to music on the porch at night in the daaarrrkkk

[@kathleenburns7065]

@@daedubois9428I pay for premium as well, it just means we don’t get the ads that YT wants to force upon us during videos. She still gets the money from the sponsors by us watching the ad that she does about a product.

[@michellem.4358]

That is the cutest pilot I've ever seen. I wonder if you've noticed an increase in nasty comments on the home reno videos. In my experience, the home reno comment section can be brutal...even between commentors.

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

Oh yea, definitely. Did I cut that part out of my "Assumptions" video? I don't think I did, I think I left it in... it's tangentially related, I guess: I spoke about how there are far more people interested in house renovation in general, so just more eyes on those videos to leave comments, but also because basically *everybody* has lived in a house, rented a house, owned a house, had SOME SORT of experience with houses, so everyone's got opinions. Basically none of them are asked for or wanted by me, but a lot of people want to give them regardless. But I do find that those are mostly just annoying, not flat out mean (although clearly some of them are, like our Marigold, who seems to live for trying to rip me apart, although I couldn't care less, I just troll them right back!!)

[@sonjanordahl3158]

Completely understand the reason for the second channel. Thanks for the honesty. Personally, I like variety. I'm one of those people who may skip watching a particular video for weeks or months because my brain is not interested in that TODAY. Chances are a week, month or year from now that video will be exactly what I want. and I am that person who puts on a play list to craft, clean, &/or nap to.

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

variety is fun! variety is interesting! also, chances are that video will still be there days, weeks and months later when your brain wants that flavour of tickle!

20:51 nooo don't trash them! I am not the comment type person, but this one got me. Got here first because of upcycling, stayed because of you. The last Q&A hit me so hard that I admire your personality since than. I would watch every content you put out because of your honest, remarkable and the same time enthusiastic and passionate character. It is very refreshing these days and I am very thankful for that, you are very rare.

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

Thank you 🥹🥹 Glad you vibe with the videos!

[@MJ-en5hi]

I guess my loyalty makes me an outlier. I started watching your channel when it was primarily sewing and, confession, I haven't sewn more than a pillowcase. I don't choose my favorite channels based on content, but on the creator. I will watch every video you put out because I want to support you. Glad you're able to ignore all the people who don't understand we're here for a sense of community/connection and not a succinct how to video.

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

Aww, thank you!!!

[@EBrenry]

So, I only discovered the original channel shortly after the first home renovation vids started going up. It reminded me of a smash up of Ariel Bisset (who similarly added renovating a very old fixer-upper to her primarily book/reading-themed channel) and DYI Danie, with her various creative diy projects of all sizes. I’m not even a big reader (Ariel) or a capable artist (Danie) or crafter/circus performer (you). I AM a lover of old houses, diy, tools, gardening, thrifting, etc. But it’s not even all about content. I just appreciate like-minded, smart, resourceful, confident, *good-humored* women tackle projects that require some elbow grease! Just because I don’t craft as much as (probably) most of your audience, doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate that YOU do! I will happily watch you make “Something Else”! I LOVE your forthrightness and honesty, Shannon! Also, you and Phil can be spectacularly hilarious. Dry sense of humor. Grade A wit, you two. Oo! Also a shout out to the editing time totals. I LOVE seeing them. Reminder that every vid is it’s own diy project!

[@Beruthiel45]

Sounds like me. I like eclectic. And, just as I typed that, Shannon said the word! 😂 I watch those channels too, and I like the variety they offer. 😊

[@violetofthevalley]

I joined you originally on the main channel for sewing content, but thankfully I love watching renovations too. To a certain degree I feed like by refusing to limit your content type you end up becoming the content focus yourself. People start following you because they want to follow your life and the more parasocial sort of connection. You’re a very personable presence and your partner is adorable, so that’s probably working in your favor. ;)

[@leafandyard7943]

Is it weird that I think the commenter roasts are going to be the most fun? I feel like second channels are odd. I have all the eclectic content on one channel, but I'm not monetized and probably never will be (that's not why I create) but I understand that sponsors want their plug to be worth it, so putting the less lucrative stuff on a second channel makes sense. I do tend to follow multiple channels from the people that I like, so something about the odd second channel is working!

Shannon makes, Flipping drawers, Stephanie Canada, The Stitchery, Living Big in a tiny house, the minimalists and a few others are often sitting on my sewing desk or following me around my home as I do my own sewing/crafting/up cycling projects or organizing and old home renovations. I actually find myself replying aloud to the commentary! 😁😂 Side note; it makes my heart happy to see the way you and Phil work together.

Ok,I will.plan a lot of pining/cutting/sewing for the 2 hours unboxing video and I will enjoy every minute of it. Especially if I can catch the moment you open my package! Honestly, totally with you for the second channel. I love your content and I will follow you all alo g!

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

Now fair warning... I only opened maybe 1/3 or 1/2 of the packages 😫 it's all I could fit in my suitcase to bring from US to Canada! 🤣🤣

Thanks for your candor....so refreshing!

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

You are so welcome!

[@mheinzle]

So I‘m watching your videos for a while now (subscribed of course ;) ) but I was very naive on the whole business model behind youTube. So that video was very enlightening!

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

Glad you enjoyed it so much!

[@soleneourvois7906]

Don't apologize ! You built an expertise about your own channel and business, and you know better than the majority of people what will be successful on you channel ! I'm looking forward to see this two hours fabric unboxing !

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

Oh, I wasn't apologizing! I just think it's important to be quite up front about the fact that I wasn't born with a crazy good business sense... it was acquired over many years and with many mistakes along the way, lots of learning experiences. I think that there's a huge disconnect in our society due in large part to the fact that nobody talks about their mistakes or lessons that were learned along the way. Social media promotes only sharing successes, looking great and glamourous and successful, and sweeping under the rug any downfalls or mistakes, but this is not realistic to the way life is, and I think it's important to be very clear about that!

[@ZiriO]

Oh this one popped on my dash finally!!! I LOVE random crafting deep dives and supply unboxings to listen to while I work.

[@WatchedPlot]

NGL I probably wouldn't sit through a 2 hour unboxing video but I looove KZbin meta, "look at the intricate moving parts" type videos

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

that's fair... not every video is for every person!!

[@debdutch1520]

I enjoy listening to your videos. I especially enjoy when you and Phil are doing projects together. Your expressions are so expressive like mimes. I also love the Corgi bits.

[@debraanneclark2188]

Definite outlier love all your videos. I am the same as you I can't learn from someone telling me how but I find it easier to discover and work them out for myself. I have missed your content t of making the wonderful clothing and other sewing projects but have also enjoyed watching as you learn how to do most of the renovations on your home yourselves, yes as most of will we make mistakes but we learn from them. Good luck with all your endeavours ❤😊

It refreshing to hear your honest opinion about KZbin and the reasoning behind setting up 2nd channels.

Huzzah! I'm here for all of it, and especially the compilations to play as I craft. 🎉 I found you first through that sewing table video, subbed when you started renovating, and now you are part of what makes Fridays/weekends relaxing and entertaining. ❤

Ooooh, thank you!!

[@dancing_fig]

Thank you for such a thorough explanation of things! I really appreciated it when Charlie talked about this on her channel, but I liked how methodical your explanation was (fitting, as it matches how it seems like it's more akin to how each of your brains work.) Looking forward to seeing the eclectic amalgam of videos over here, and also excited for you to have a place that's lower stakes. I hope that it can feel like more of a creative outlet and less of a Content Creation Corner (TM)

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

Glad you enjoyed it! And yes, I'm looking forward to it too!

[@ladyofendor]

I’m already planning on getting my mending done while watch/listening to the 2 hr video. I started with the crafting videos and stayed for the renovation videos because of your blend of education and entertaining charm. I’ve shocked the socks off people when I’ve been able to contribute to renovating conversations nobody expects me to know anything about. And the bewildered looks I get when I tell them I learned it from a Shannon Makes video. Usually I get “isn’t she the circus acrobatic whose video you use to debunk the corset myths? She does renovations?” Pretty sure you’ve had a few views from people trying to prove my memory of my source wrong. I’ve already subscribed and I look forward to all the new videos! Huzzah for the outliers club! Thank you!

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

omg I love that... that's so fantastic. I'm gonna have to share that with some of my fellow YT friends!!

[@thizizliz]

Oh gosh, I had no idea off all that back story about the sponsor pay. Makes sense. Well you're getting there, 752 subscribers so far.. Thank you for all the explanations.

[@shannonmakessomethingelse]

oh wow!! So fun to see! Now just gotta hit those watch hours... we'll get there eventually!

[@thizizliz]

@@shannonmakessomethingelse I think a lot of us will watch them through. Even if it's a topic that doesn't appeal, I'll let it play while I got make coffee or something. Unless I hate it or don't like the creator - so you're safe.

Looking forward to being part of the "Third Street Gang" 🕵 On a totally other note, I commented a 3 yo video on Gaiter and Spats etc and you responded!! I was so impressed that you still notice and actually replied to a comment on something older than 12 hours old, so few folks on YT take that kind of time. TY!

your transparency brought tears to my eyes, honestly. I always want to learn from people who can combine business sense and heartfulness and you've got it. like a good dad archetype, teaching the children the ways of the world without cynicism. but not without humor. thank you.

Shannon, this was great. I love and watch all your videos. Listening to you just now was like sitting down and listening to a friend vent and explain. What ever you put up believe me, I'll be there. You're fun to watch and listen to. I hope you continue to grow. Sometimes I just watch to live vicariously through you. Good luck and know I'll be there to support you. ❤
