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:

If you're interested in starting your own YouTube channel, make sure you learn from Creator Academy, Sean Cannell, Sunny Lenarduzzi, Gillian Perkins, and Video Influencers. 

And if you're interested in selling items, such as t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, and totes, watch videos made by Greg Gottfried and Jason Gandy. 

Thank you for visiting. And before you go, make sure to find a little joy and sprinkle it everywhere!
