Is your YouTube channel getting you down? Maybe it’s not growing as fast as you expected it to and you’re feeling frustrated with the content grind. I’m here to help! In this solo episode, I take you through 9 powerful things you can do to blast beyond the frustration, get back on track and go after the results that you want. If you’ve been having a tough time and you almost feel like giving up, I made this for you.

“Your close-knit community serves as a little army against negativity.”

Comparisonitis, fear of missing out (FOMO), burnout, guilt, trolls in your comments section, negative validation and imposter syndrome are all issues we have to come across as people in the YouTube space. And it can be hard to deal with. We want to show up for our audience but with that comes so much baggage: when we show up, how did we perform compared to other people in our industry? We want to be up on every trend so we aren’t left behind, but rushing and posting non-stop is leaving us burnt out. And when we do post, the negative comments that come in always tear us down, even when they’re in a stream of positive comments. And finally, who are you to be making videos about this topic? What are your qualifications? We’re putting those fears and feelings to rest with these 9 steps in today's episode.

“Ultimately, most people want to make a change and have a positive impact.”

If you loved this episode and you’re looking for a way to implement all the 9 steps and have a proven plan to build your YouTube channel, then you’d be a good candidate for my Zero-to-Influence Bootcamp. If you want to know what it’s like and what it’s all about, I’m doing a free masterclass on May 30th where I’m walking you through the 5 things you should avoid doing so your YouTube channel can grow, and I’m giving you the exact strategies in my Zero-to-Influence Framework. I’ve spent months creating this training and it’s finally time to share it with you! See you there!

“When you’re focusing on your strengths then you know you’re presenting the best of yourself.”

Do you get secretly frustrated or exasperated when a competitor or friend gets better results than you? If they’re getting more views while you’re struggling to grow, it can feel like the worst. Here's the good news: it happens to all of us! But you won’t show up as the best version of yourself when you’re comparing your self-worth, value and your work with others. On this solo episode, I’m talking all about how to break the pattern and free yourself from comparisonitis! Let’s do this!

“If you make decisions based on what someone else is doing, it will take you down the road of distraction from you being the best version of yourself."

Comparisonitis happens to all of us, it happens to me and it happens to my clients too. I get a bit jealous when I see people who've started their podcasts long after I did, popping up on Forbes lists and I see them - by my own perception - doing much better than me. A Client of mine I was working with for a little while finally hit the 20k subscribers mark. She was so happy and celebrating but totally went flat when she found out that her friend, who she encouraged to start her channel, blew passed her and got to 35k subscribers. Why do we do this? We have our own audiences, they have theirs, we’re measuring something that isn’t equal, yet it still hurts so much.

“Unfollow and unsubscribe from anyone who brings out jealousy or comparisonitis out of you.”

So how do you fight this? How do you navigate the shark-infested waters of comparing yourself to others on Instagram and YouTube? Well, it won’t be easy but you can do it, and I talk about how in this episode. Like everything, it starts with being aware of the negative behavior and where it shows up. At the end of the day, you don’t want to be in a bubble, avoiding every video to stop yourself from comparing. I know you want to take in inspiration and not allow the negative influences or your comparisonitis to act up. So, let’s talk about how you get more aware of your comparisonitis and create a catalyst for you to shift it for good.

“Use your why as a filter. If what you want to do makes sense to why you’re doing it then do that video. If not, then no one will want to watch that.”

Time to get really personal and vulnerable ladies... it’s storytime! I’m sharing my entire journey with you, my ups and downs, how I fell in love with YouTube and talking to you about it every week, what I’ve learned from my failures and why I do this podcast for you! I hope you’re ready for this honest and open conversation.

“I started thinking: if I'm going to continue with this podcast, I need to help more people.”

It’s funny to look back and think that I’ve spent so much time helping you and ladies like you to grow your channels for years, and I didn’t have a big channel myself. Not too long ago, I felt like an imposter whenever I thought about it. But I realized that all the time I could’ve spent growing my channel, I instead used it to grow many channels for my podcast guests who became my friends, and the people who’ve listened to my episodes and reached out for help. I realized that the information I’ve shared in my courses and in the Facebook group, and with anyone who’s asked, came from the experience of learning from several channels, instead of just my own.

“You can come up with all the reasons not to do something, and sometimes that negative voice takes over, but sometimes you have to get over yourself.”

I went from hating a job at Jamba Juice, working at Nordstrom, selling $55 million worth of real estate properties, trying to become an actor, starting an apparel business with my sister, getting burnt out and selling the apparel business with my sister, getting back in corporate America and having two girls, to finally finding something that fits. Doing this podcast and helping you with my programs feels like home. It feels like what I was meant to do and everything I’ve learned up to this point has made me totally awesome at this. Ready to hear the full journey? Well, listen up.

Looking for some clarity around how to build a successful channel while balancing a full-time job? Want to go from a channel that’s confusing and flat to one that's vibrant and engaging? It’s time for another bootcamper success story! With a few viral hits under her belt and some massive growth, our guest fashion YouTuber Rachel from The Rachel Review is here to share her journey before and after the boot camp, and what she’s doing to be on track for 100k subscribers this year!

“If you’re doing YouTube to be famous online and make a lot of money, that will get you through the door, but it won’t keep you there.”

Rachel is passionate about being an entrepreneur and running her own business, but her early journeys into it ended in failure. After she closed up shop on her online business, she started working for a wastewater management company so she could gain a mentor and hopefully learn enough to take another shot at entrepreneurship. During that time, her boyfriend pushed her to start her YouTube channel and share her passion for fashion. And she did, but it barely got off the ground with only 250 subscribers. She was growing slowly and getting discouraged until she found out about our Zero to Influence bootcamp. Now she’s at 38k subscribers and confidently on her way to close out the year at 100k.

“No one is going to like everything you have to say. People all have different experiences.”

Learning how to find her why and getting clear on what she’s good at were two of the most impactful things the boot camp helped her with. They opened her eyes to what she should really be doing on YouTube. If you’ve been thinking about getting started and telling yourself that success is unattainable and you can’t be the next YouTube star, she’s here to tell you that she was right where you are, and she did it. And if she can do it, you can too. Her message for you is, “You have to risk it to get the biscuit!”

“Every video you put out and comment you get, you’re getting an understanding of what your community wants and needs from you.” - Erika
