She pivoted when necessary, needed or wanted to, but it was still aligned. she took a break before burning out too much and although break from making long form videos she still nurtured her audience elsewhere

[@fortunedentalservices4243]

Filming in Ghana and creating a lot of content whilst on holiday ❤🎉

[@VanessaKanbi]

Thanks so much for having me on Sean! It was a privilege to be interviewed by you! 🎉

[@tayinternational]

She has also motivated a lot of others in Africa to start a KZbin channel and show Ghana to the world . Thankyou Vanessa and Think media for sharing.

[@VanessaKanbi]

So great to hear I’ve inspired others! Appreciate it 🎉

[@thesoundofaccrapodcast]

She's one of the hardest working youtubers out there representing Ghana 🇬🇭

[@VanessaKanbi]

Thank you 🥹

[@livingfinance]

@@VanessaKanbiwell deserved love your channel

[@SeanzViewEnt]

Thanks to think media i now have nearly 140,000 subscribers

[@MacandBlair]

Vanessa is so inspiring. We started our KZbin channel because of her, Anna Acheampong, Marietta Eiko, and Wode Maya.

[@VanessaKanbi]

Wow incredible I’m gonna check your channel out! I’ll let the others know too.

​@@VanessaKanbithere are action cameras (go pro and insta360 ace pro) where you shoot first and then edit to either horizontal and/or vertical formats. 😊

[@tokendetravel]

Yay Vanessa!!! She has been so influential for African travel KZbinrs 🎉🎉

[@VanessaKanbi]

Appreciate it 🎉

[@CurieuxNomades]

Wow! Great interview, our biggest takeaway is making content in a short period of time and post the videos in a longer period of time. And don’t be afraid to reach out to brands. Thank you 🙏

[@tricallyourmama]

Can you help me better understand what you mean by post the videos in a longer period of time?

[@StephaniRoberts]

I love Vanessa's energy. She's lovely! And she makes it all seem so simple and easy. WE complicate it with our perfection and procrastination. So glad I saw this!! Thanks Sean and Vanessa! 👏👏

[@VanessaKanbi]

Thank you ❤

[@StephaniRoberts]

@@VanessaKanbi You’re so welcome! You’re a breath of fresh air! Good luck with your TV show!!

[@KimHelm]

She's so lovely and She gave so many gems. Going All in is the umbrella for everything else she did. Upload 3 times per week for a year, 52 weeks. that's a lot of videos 156 that's a commitment, but seems necessary. Reach out to brands, feel the fear and do it anyway. create quality content, the best you can.

[@VanessaKanbi]

Thank you. Yes you can do it 👏🏽

[@walkwithyan]

i made a video of a mall that was about to close and get demolished one month later. when i posted it months later (because i was editing and posting the other videos i made earlier), some people in the comments began to ask about this who knew about the mall. i just told them the truth that i made that video a few months back. i was just being straight and honest with my viewers and i think they acknowledged that. thanks for posting this interview, by the way. very inspiring. 😊

[@MrAntpre]

Tks for this episode. I love how Shawn you ask very specific questions that results in very actionable nuggets. Tks❤

[@musclemummys]

❤That was so inspiring and an incredible story! Well done Vanessa! I am a full time parent and I run my own personal training business as well as create KZbin content. I started in April this year and it’s been an amazing challenge! I have sacrificed things like going out and worked on the content planning and listening to what my audience wants! I have a great head start as I am so passionate about fitness and even more so now I’m mid 40! 😅 I now post 3 times per week and I’m going to take this advice and do it consistently with great ideas and quality going forward. One thing I need to do is perhaps change my phone from the iPhone 12 but I feel it’s doing a great job at the moment. I have gained over 5k subs in the last month so it’s working ❤ I’m also so grateful for Think media advice I watch and listen to every single episode and I’m continuously learning :) wishing everyone a beautiful blessed day. Stay Strong xxx ❤️

[@RoseDallasNow]

Wow! I AM happy and encouraged by Vanessa's story/journey. I love her accent and her laugh. Amazing all the doors that are opened from her just hitting record. Only today I received answer to prayer to keep going with VRA. I love that she says take a break. Because if we don't we could break. Excited to see my journey.

[@ManasseyTetteh]

Unbelievable value, Vanessa. Thanks for bringing her on Sean.

[@johnclay7644]

good interview, informative content.

[@GracefullyGlowing]

Wow this is beautiful! Thanks for sharing her journey❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@OzzieAngrish]

13:17 This is my issue with content creation.

[@TeachersOnFire]

The most tragic part of this interview is that the guest’s audio is coming through her AirPods and not the mic in front of her. I say that not as a dig but as a StreamYard user who knows that pain well. That said, amazing interview! I’m thinking of starting a travel channel, so this is really helpful. Think Media remains my number 1 source for daily inspiration.

[@jccraftmage]

I didn't even realize that till you said it lol

[@VanessaKanbi]

I sent the audio file from the mic to Sean’s team but guess for one reason or another it wasn’t added 😢

[@jccraftmage]

@@VanessaKanbi 😭

[@TeachersOnFire]

@@VanessaKanbi These things happen. Thanks again for sharing your unique story - it's inspiring! Love the idea of recording a lot of content through a limited window of days and then publishing it over the months ahead.

[@christastone813]

I find her so inspiring as a mom of three ❤ great interview!

[@The_Magical_Frequency]

Amazing video 💕

[@WorkHardTravelWell]

Wow in my niche. Loved the convo.

[@emmavihruri]

I love this! It’s so inspiring . ♥️

[@unboundbytiffany]

Wow thats so incredibly blessed and fortunate and rare to get a large amount of money like that from a platform like youtube just to start your channel and upgrades etc. Gosh that is definantly life changing and what can absolutely give you everything else youd need to get the channel going strong quickly. How wonderful for her and the others that received that. Incredible. Id love to see those opportunities available/given to us "everyday" full time moms of toddlers, in low-income households, running small and/or new woman owned businesses and starting their content creation journey. Because that is absolutely the most incredible make or break opportunity, im just in awe they did that for the people they did. How blessed they are. ❤️ Meanwhile, ill be over here. Lol. But hell, still giving every ounce of my everything that isnt going to survival, raising my kiddo fulltime and struggling daily through chronic illness and so much more. I just cant imagine even being able to afford any childcare at all, at any point in this last 2.5 yrs to be able to actually work on my business and channel so im not running on only 2 hours of sleep a night as i literally have no other time to even do any of it. I just am a little releived to know alot of those who get to the financial success points they do have done so with help and support, and my very slow growth currently isnt anything to do with me as a person, or a creator. I just have very different circumstances and wildly different opportunities given to me than those like the woman in this video. So i think i can try a little more to show myself a little extra grace. Becahse I'd love to literally do it all, but by myself, im a mere mortal, but thats ok, im stilll giving more than i probably should (for my physical and mental health for sure) and it will have to be enough. Thank you, very very good information.

[@JonesLeFae]

Very inspiring. I have a lot of content that i filmed and never posted, but this has given me the confidence that I could still post it. Also, my boyfriend and I are working on some ideas that would make great content for a travel and food focused channel.

[@Vavas_Cuisine]

Nice interview and informative

[@valcortinas9271]

Great interview very informative!

[@Thetjtribe]

The road less travelled may have unfounded gold 👁️🙌. Well done

[@stretchlimbs]

GREAT ADVICE!! THANK YOU!! 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

[@whenbirdiesfly]

Great video! 😊

[@PerimenopausePlus]

I’ve been watching and listening to Think Media and Podcasts, bought the VRA and this is genuinely the first time I’ve heard you say that stacking searchable keywords is a good tactic! 🤦‍♀️

[@fortunedentalservices4243]

Thank you ❤

[@techboloinsider]

In fact Vanessa I am so impired

[@GoodThings4GoodPeople]

More learning on a Thursday! Our plan over the next year is 0 to 10,000 let's see what we can learn to help us today! 😊

[@krupaabrokwaa]

Not my friend on ThinkMediaPodcast 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@KicksTV.]

RESPECT ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥….

[@todayinhistory2804]

Well you have 2 things going for you 90% of people who try on you tube done have. You a good looking female and your lucky. 2 very strong assets to have in ones life. Most of us dont have either. Thats how you got to 100k. Clean simple answer.

[@whenbirdiesfly]

GO SONICS! 😄

[@larryslifeadventures]

ESG success 😅

[@jccraftmage]

It's a good interview but also at the same time if I was able to upload three quality videos a week every week for a year I probably wouldn't be watching this now would I? Lol. Its like: "How do I become rich?" "Duh, just get a ton of money." "Oh ok. Ill just go do that. Lol"

[@tyevanb]

I guess that's fair, but if you're making it a monster to solve, it cannot be. If you make it a problem, we have options. Perhaps.. one quality short a week? Start small, and the quicker and better you get at that, you can use that experience to compound and make more a week, hopefully.

[@aohamer]

Sooo many great gems in this talk! The filming for 2 weeks to get 6 months of content is a genius mom hack 👑 Her bcc'ing 3 people to get the one yes is a Boss move. Go Vanessa!! Thanks so much for having her on, Sean 🫶🏾
