Thinking of Starting a YouTube Channel? Or Designing Your Own Products to Sell?

Scary – really scary – I do NOT like being in front of a camera. I was raised during a time when nobody took selfies, when the word, selfies, didn't even exist in the dictionary. But when I started watching YouTube videos, I though maybe it was time to push myself out of my comfort zone and give being in front of the camera a shot – literally.

The first video I created was AWKWARD! I felt VERY uncomfortable, but I followed the advice of some YouTube content creators and made it anyway. I had to learn how to edit movies on iMovie, and I had to learn how to create a thumbnail. I had to learn how to convert pixels to inches so I could create banners and so much more. I spent MONTHS learning from some of the most educated and successful YouTubers and I did it! Here is my most recent YouTube creation (I'm a little more confident in this one than I was in the first video):



When I felt fairly confident about continuing my YouTube channel, I discovered that I could make products to sell on that channel! I don't have enough views or subscribers yet, because I'm so new, but I investigated that prospect as well, and now I have a store  with HUNDREDS of items listed! Here are 4 of them:
