Here I am, delivering what no one asked for 😌
I thought I'd give you guys a peek behind the scenes so to speak, on how I have been navigating life with a YouTube channel and give some advice on anyone looking to start a (planty) YouTube! There is soooo much more I could've touched on, but my rickety knees and 4 brain cells got tired
A few timestamps:
10:50 why I started YT + the early days
23:50 advice for someone starting a plant channel
42:40 editing
56:56 more advice for a new channel
1:05:07 sponsorships
1:12:13 overcoming the fear of judgment
1:16:48 general things that have worked for my channel
1:23:57 plant burnout
