Todays post is about why I have started my own Youtube channel. If you didn't know already, I have recently started YouTube and have only posted a handful of videos but I have really enjoying it. So I thought that I would do a little post explaining why I started and maybe in the future (like in a couple of months) I will make a video all about this and if Youtube has done this for me. So lets get on to the three main reasons why I started Youtube.
TIME TO PLAY WITH?
My current situation is that I am working part-time as a sales assistant. I was taken on for Christmas and I have been kept on til June, but when that time comes, I will have a lot of time free. I will be looking for other jobs but it isn't a big worry at this moment in time because I still live at home and I will be taken back on back in about September/October I think, for the same job. I also help my mum out a lot so I won't be completely doing nothing. This is one reason why I wanted to continue with my blog and create a channel, so I had something to focus on whether 1 or 100 people read/watch.
SOCIAL LIFE
It is fair to say I don't have the best social life compared to a lot of people my age, which for me is not a massive deal. But I really enjoy interacting with people on social media, mainly twitter, that I don't know personally. I love it when other creators tweet me back, like Meg from MegSays, we sometimes have little conversations via twitter, nothing too much just the little things. I also see people like Gabby (velvetgh0st) and Hannah (Fabulous Hannah) and others tweeting each other, I love reading the conversations and think I would love to have that with other people, not in a jealous way though. I see a lot that Youtube can create genuine friendships and that is what everyone wants in life, right?
CAREER DIRECTION AND OPPORTUNITY'S
If anything is to come of my channel/blog, I would be over the moon. My aim is to have a positive influence on others and also connect with others. It might sound cheesy but I feel like Youtube would be the perfect job for me becuase it is something I can control, but also very creative and, if everything goes right, will be a positve thing for me. I have never really known 'what I want to be when I grow up' but then I studied Media from year 10 as a GCSE then at college I studied Media, Film and Photography at A-Level and I really enjoyed it. From there I knew I wanted to be in the media side of things. Youtube seemed to just fit into that area and I am determined to focus on this and hopefully opportunity's will open up.
And that's the end of today's post, I hope you understand the reason why I started a YouTube channel. First and foremost with my channel I just want to have fun with it and see where I end up with it because you never know. So until next time...
