Have you ever thought about hiring a manager or an agent? You’re going to want to listen to my interview with Cassandra Bankson, who had a cautionary tale about hiring a manager.

 

Cassandra put her trust in the wrong person who didn’t have her best interests in mind and whose values did not align with her own. 

 

If you’re looking to hire a manager, make sure that they align with your core values, and for your own protection, make sure they aren’t controlling your finances. Make sure you interview several candidates, ask for references, do a background check, and figure out if they have values that align with yours and if they share the same goals as you. 

 

The more stories like Cassandra’s are told, the less likely it will happen to another creator.

 

What did you think about Cassandra’s story? Let me know!

This week I interviewed one of my bootcampers, Trina Albus! 

Are you struggling to find your niche? Having trouble finding something to focus on?

Here’s what you can do:

  1. Figure out what your strengths are, what your experiences are, what you’re uniquely qualified to speak on. What makes you unique?
  2. Who are you creating content for? Who is your audience? How old are they? What is their life experience like? 
  3. Look at your data: which videos do better? What is the subject matter of those videos? What are people watching the most on your channel?

By knowing who YOU are and who you are creating for, you can help narrow down what you should be creating. 

Were you inspired by Trina? Are you ready to narrow down that niche? Let me know!

This week I interviewed my first set of twins - the GORGEOUS Kelsey and Kendra, a.k.a the GlamTwinz, and they talked a TON about being authentic, and how they credit their authenticity to their success on YouTube.

So what’s so important about authenticity? People don’t come to YouTube to watch someone phony… that’s what television is for. 

Your energy translates well on camera, and your viewers are going to sense it. If you’re not being authentic, or creating content that doesn’t truly speak to who YOU are, your audience will feel that. By being unapologetically YOU; by being who YOU are, you will form connections with your audience. If you’re too focused on pleasing people, or on creating something that doesn’t truly align with you, your viewers will sense it. 

If you’re creating content that you love and that you are passionate about, your channel will be much more sustainable, and the passion you have for what you're doing will translate to your videos. 

Were you inspired by Kelsey and Kendra? Are you ready to commit to authenticity?
