[Bitemyredlips]

Thanksss ! :)

[mimlive]

You erned a new subbiiee

[lovelygirlz157]

Considering this is starting a youtube account, i was wondering if you guys would check me and my cousin out we just recently stared a youtube, and want more views to enjoy our videos it would mean heeeeeeeaps !! :)

[FashionandBeautytime]

Well..u said we shouldn't hide.

But I have already so many ppl which hate me & now if I wouldn't hide they'd start bullying me. HELP?!

[CFCRockAngel]

This was one of the best advice videos ive seen in relation to starting a youtube video :) I just wish i had the balls to start one :/ Oh well, great video anyway :) Love you Hayley :)

[Makeupluxx8606]

This is quite a brilliant video, it was a good idea to show people your opinion on the do's and don't's of the youtube world. Thank you for taking the time for this video. You also have a beautiful face, and you're very pretty. Stay gorgeous(:

[LessIsMoreBySilvia]

i have a question... I love to use music in the background of my videos..How do i do that without copyrighting?

[LessIsMoreBySilvia]

hey! u r so right about all this things! i hope i'll be like u on youtube...one day :)

[chettaeight]

her background kinda looks like smosh`s front door...

[MitchieGonzague2000]

She kinda looks like Peyton List but more grown-up :)

[everythingemilyxo]

Hey hayley! I am really considering starting a channel as I have wanted to for a really long time, and you only live once right!? So I love beauty videos and would want to do them, but I would also want to post vlogs and the occasional music video. I think I would be mostly beauty, so do you think once I start out that I should make a separate channel for those? Thank you for making this video of great tips and I hope you will help me out (:

[TheNewGirl007]

This was really helpful. Random question. Where did you get the photo of the Eiffel tower in your background? Its gorgeous.

[BeautyDownUnder91]

Thanks for this video and great tips, it really helped me with starting my channel :D

[BeautyByDove]

This is extremely helpful, but could you tell me exactly what copyrighted music is?

[valerie12354]

you're so goregous!

[KianaKrayola]

Your eyes are so pretty and big. Do you have any tips on making your eyes look bigger?

[1233AnneMarie]

can you please make a vidoe on how you "came out" (or told other people about your youtube channel) Please!????

[ffionmariee]

omg what's on your lips?! they look gorgeous! <3

[bamzalove]

I've always wondered what tcb meant!

[isabelsmakeupchannel]

This was very instructive :) Thank you!!

[swewenag581]

VERY VERY VERY....well said....I subscribed to your channel just now...cause you seemed very sincere and honest...and very educated about youtube...:) I hope you accept my video response to your video...it is about myglam and michelle phan...i am spreading the word about it so noone else gets hurt by myglam or michelle phan ...just spreading the info..:)

[akaydoll]

Great tips! I cant believe we both started youtube around the same time '08 was soooo long ago looking back hehe

[labeautechic]

Can you do a makeup tutorial of the look you are wearing in the video? It looks really nice!

[bellabeauty161]

how come we cant choose to watch your videos in HD?

[KaityKate22]

I like that shirt on you. It looks really nice with your hair and your coloring. :)

[klutzpants]

id really like to start a beauty channel but i dont want people to well....laugh at me? i know you were young when you started but did you ever get teased or given a hard time because of your youtube channel?

[truerthananyreligion]

Great video hayley!(:

[celticenchantment83]

Hey do you have a recommendation for a substitute for my last name in a Facebook profile if I wish to hide it for safety reasons?!  Thanks!

[OliviaMakeupChannel]

[xoxobrunette1]

[xoxobrunette1]

[beautypassion101]

[EverythingsPeachy514]

Thanks for this video, Hayley! I've been wanting to start a YouTube channel for awhile, but I have been holding off on it... I think I will soon, though. You are such an inspiration! Thank you!

[MakeupByLilyMarie]

@EverythingsPeachy514 Make one!!!! I had been holding off on it forever and I just started making videos this week and I already love it!!!!

[RachellNicoleex0]

PC4PC.

[mileyfan402]

This is excellent :) I love your videos Hayley! x

[emilyyyy132]

i've been doing youtube for a year and only have like 65 subscribers, im not saying im ungratful but its hard to put in all the work to make videos and they dont get that many veiws :(

[FashionCoach15]

awesome tips! the one thing i seem to get stuck on when making a channel, though, is looking straight into the camera i dont know why but its weird to talk to a lense u know? how did u get used to it? and also for the consistency tip, how did u balance youtube and school? thank you so much :)

[lillanilo]

Great tips!

[HeyItstamila]

your so pretty

[xxEm42xx]

Out of all the videos Ive seen about starting youtube videos, yours has been the best and most informative :)

[backofentv]

Hey Hayley, I think those tips are amazing. Especially to make videos for the right reason. I dont want to start an own channel, but i love watching videos. And the last time i saw so many really young girls, who are just intrested in being a partner. They really should whatch your video :) So thanks for making it.

[doctorwhodarling]

it's lovely to here honest tips from an honest person :) keep up the good work hayley! xx

[xraspberrycupcake]

wow the quality of your camera is really amaazing !

[prettyinpinkxx12]

i really want to start on youtube but i dont want my friends to find out

[spela1300]

I also really wish you would do more vlogs, just giving us advice about life and confidence and stuff like that, cause you seem very smart and you are definitely a great role modle! I mean if you want to..haha :) Love you Hayley! <3

[spela1300]

you look very classy in this video!! pretty :))

[sohnhyes]

Hayley! You seem very humble and mature in this video and I really like this side of you! :) Thank you for staying true to yourself, and keep up the fantastic work! :)))

[HersheyChelsea]

So what music can you use?

[isayyes15]

Omg, pc4pc? HAHAHA Oh the good old days of MySpace!

[SincerelyGracie]

Thank you so much for making this video. It really helped me a ton.

[happyluckything1]

Thanks for this video! I love your hair in this video!! :)

[blankblank0blah]

Did you cut your hair?

[thegnat05]

Do you like it when people post re-creations to your makeup tutorials?

[tfmuggleblood]

Ahhh, the quality of this video was awesome. You looked relaly great in it too. Yaaay,

[DianaBeautyShow]

Thank you for making this, great advice. What i think though is that a few years back it was easier to get noticed on youtube. Now theres a lot of big fish in the ocean and it kinda shadows us little ones :).

Xoxo, Diana

[gyulnarik97]

your advice was nice

[lexiloveslipgloss]

Hey! People found out about my YouTube today at school! Thanks for making this video! I'm embracing my channel now!

[LanaCouture97]

Hey Hayley! I was just wondering what you do for lighting? Do you use natural light or lamps? What would you recommend for the people that are just starting out on youtube!?

[319mrb]

make up tutorial pls.... ??? 

[kaylanxxbeauty]

Very nice video. This really did have some helpful tips. :)

[picklefan98]

I really, really want to do video's, and I even have a camera, but I'm so scared people from my school might find out..it would be weird :/

[miamartino]

Nothing on internet safety and YouTube? :)

[vtwilight]

@MusicCutie333 it did go out, it was a my drunk kitchen one

[anjumstar3]

I love you without 'the pouf' and thank you so much for this video! It's what I'm trying to do right now, and even though I'm already doing everything you said (except for one...) it's not going so well. But I know it comes with time, and I'm okay with that. :)

[Rclbeauty101]

how did you make your banner? its like actually beautiful not to sound creepy haha

[sarahbelle93x]

[MusicCutie333]

[nicolealyssaxo]

this was so helpful.. thanks!:)

[CoveredGirlFayha]

thank you so much for this :)

[GlitterBaby96x]

Love this wall as your background! And you look a lot more grown up in the video-might just be that its a more mature topic, not just talking about makeup or whatevs

[molldoll313]

hey haley, I appreciate you making this video. I started a YT channel about 6 months ago and I am not sure how to get my channel out there more.I can't edit my videos so they are not as high quality as they could be. I always post my videos to other channels, but I am not sure what else to do. BTW what is tumbler? I've always wanted to know, anyways if you do see this comment I was hoping you could maybe tell me what else I can do to connect with more people on YT? thanks again for the video!

[LIVforstyle]

Thanks for these great tips. They were so helpful coming from an inspiring guru like you :)

Please support my beauty channel <33

[missvictorialee2]

Your Hair, Makeup and Outfit in this video is amazing!

[simplyjuliax14]

definitely going to try these tips out. great video! :)

[liliesarepink]

These are some really good tips :) I started youtube awhile ago, but I'm still having trouble getting views. I know that it's not the most important part, but it's still kind of hard when you put a lot of work into something and not a lot of people see it. Any tips for that?

[DearGraviity]

You look so much more mature with your hair down like this. Definitely need to put away the poof more often :P

[ChrissyTna]

You look gorgeous :)

[luvlycarla101]

great video Hayley

[SirenaSmiles]

[muzicfreak15]

I have been thinking about starting a youtube channel but have been a little scared and intimidated because of all the amazing youtubers out there but your video was so helpful and made me feel so much better about starting a channel, Well posting videos on my channel. Keep up the amazing work and look out for some recreation videos inspired by you :D

[racheladoresbeauty]

[ServingUpSparkle]

I really like the lighting and background of this video! You should film in that spot more often! :) And I totally agree with uploading regularly I upload Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday! alot of my viewers appreciate that! great video! although I already make videos and have almost 300 subs I still like watching these and always gaining important info! :) Thanks Hayley!

[SuperPinkshopaholic]

one of the things that im so scared of, is that people from school finding out, like my close friends at school already found out but i mean like people im not too close too, and im just really terrified of that happening!

[xoxolovebeauty]

I love these videos! So helpful! (:

[bribaybayx3]

[heydollface12]

[MileyHannahFan008]

Your hair looks so great in this!!

[embabiix]

thanks!!!<3 much appreciated (:

[pinkandpurple724]

I have to say that I LOVE that you dont try to act like any other youtuber. I feel like there are a lot of girls that feel that in order to be sucessful they need to act like Elle, Blair, and a lot of others.

[infamousamor]

How do you deal with GuruGossip dot ne t?

The rumors or haters or critiques that go around.

Do you confront it or do you ignore it ?

I learned a lot of things I did not know about and now my used to be favorite gurus are now the ones I really dislike a lot. But on the other hand, that website is being filled with more negativity than just constructive criticism. And now its starting to hurt...the mean comments are just plain nasty and rude.

[HayleeCollins]

This is so helpful, thanks for the tips!

[hellonalah]

Thanks for doing this! I just started making videos and this helped :)

[champagnecupcakes]

how did you deal with haters? I kinda curious because theres so much hate on youtube lately. =/

[goodbyeglitter]

I love these type of videos :)

[AceGangx]

do you think it's honestly worth starting a beauty channel now, considering there's sooo many successful beauty channels out there now?

[sunshineGALZ0002]

@AceGangx hey...just to put my two sense in if you love it do it!!! everyone has different tips to share (:

[hayleyistcb]

@AceGangx honestly there are some girls who have 50,000+ subscribers, and they started like, a year ago. You never know if you don't try! :)

[LIVforstyle]

@AceGangx I would totally start a beauty channel. I started my channel a year ago and I have over 1000 subscribers. I get a little upset knowing that some gurus gained 20,000 subscribers in a year, but it should not matter how many subscribers you have, but making videos because you love to them :)

[JessicahLikes]

thank you for this video! very helpful and thank you for being a REAL person. it can be so tempting to promote yourself on other peoples channels but i always remind myself that its trashy and gross to try and leech off other peoples popularity.

[samanthasmakeup]

i lovvvvve that shirt on you! and the quality of this video is really great!

[YoungBasedJoel]

Thanks for giving me some more tips! I'm a rapper but I put other videos as well that are attracting a number of views.

[KisstheGlitter]

Your hair and makeup looks so good today! <3 And thank you for making this video, I've been debating whether or not to start videos or not and this helped!

[VittoriasVanity]
