 start my YouTube channel from scratch. Welcome back to my channel guys, it's your girl Coco Styles and on this channel we talk about beauty, fashion, lifestyle and styling. So today is gonna be a different video and this is gonna be about my channel changes and updates. This is gonna be like a transparency video and I've been wanting to do this for a while and last night I had a nice long talk with myself, looking at my analytics, just reviewing things that I've been posting and sharing on all of my platforms as well as my personal website for my blog. I'm gonna be changing some things solely based off of my analytics, all right? So basically I did some research, I looked at my analytics. It seems as though I have been posting at times where a lot of my subscribers are not gone. Now let me first start off by saying I personally feel like I don't mind the slow growth, it does not bother me at all. I feel like it's a really good way to really start to hone in on who's actually like riding out from me from the beginning because I can tell by names and stuff. But I looked at my analytics and basically I've been posting at times that weren't beneficial to my channel. I'm looking at my views, they're low. So I'm just like, okay, sometimes you have to have a talk with yourself about your content being good or bad. So I said to myself, Sinaya, because that's my real name, what do you think you can do better for your audience? As a tall girl, my goal is to really get the message out to tall women that I shop regular brands, I do not shop tall girl brands. It's not something that I ever did. So I know for me, that is the message that I want to get out to the girlies who are my height and a tad bit shorter who are considered tall. Like you don't have to shop tall girl brands. So that's my message. How do we make tall girl brands work for us? And how do we still be stylish? How do we always look put together without really following the trends and stuff because we can't? So that's my message. I also know that for me, health is like really big as far as like eating and just taking care of myself. You guys already know my story with my mom, my grandmother, my auntie with the breast cancer. So for me, that's something that I do want to be transparent about, but vlogs may not be it for me right now. So I'm going to have to hold on that and just start pushing out content that I feel will be beneficial to you guys. So I'm going to get into the things that I'm going to be changing that you're going to be seeing. And the first thing is the time. So, oh gosh. I've been posting Wednesdays and Sundays for the past three years. Sometimes I get really great views, but lately the views have been low. So I'm really trying to figure out is it the time I'm posting? Is it the content? Again, sometimes you just have to say to yourself, my content is trash or I'm doing something wrong and it is just what it is. So looking at the analytics, it's saying that Mondays will be a good day, Thursdays and Saturdays. So you guys comment below, for those of you guys who are seeing this video, what times are you actually on and you actually see my content come through? Looking at the analytics, those are the times, well, those are the days. And as far as the times, they vary, but I'm seeing a pattern which is odd because it's the time that people should be working. So in my head, well, they're working, but they're obviously online. So I don't know if it's that a lot of people are working from home now and they have time to go on YouTube, but I'm gonna play around with the times. So I am gonna start posting on, I said Saturdays and Mondays, I just have to adjust something in my day to day life so that I'm not rushing and I'm putting out great content. I'm gonna do my best to do more community tabs and more short that way. You guys are kind of getting into my world. Let me say this, a lot of people say, oh, just be yourself on YouTube. It is not that easy. And the reason why it's not easy, for those of us who have like nine or five jobs, you don't really want to like, I'm not gonna say get crazy online, but you don't wanna do things where it's going to jeopardize certain things, your image and stuff. Now I'm not gonna be out here acting crazy online. However, personality wise, because you're in like a corporate setting so much, it's really hard to bring your regular side out. Cause literally as soon as I get off of work, I'm just like, I'm Sonaya, okay? That's my birth name, guys. So I'm Sonaya when I get off of my regular job. My friends are like, they know who I am and all that good stuff. My first thing I'm changing is the time. And the time will be Mondays at, I said three. All right, I just had to make an executive decision. Initially I was gonna do three and seven, but I'm actually gonna keep it still early in the day, basing it off of the analytics. And I'm gonna do two o'clock on Monday and two o'clock on Saturday. Now, when you read online, it tells you that a good time is between nine and 11, which kind of makes sense, right? Because you're like, everybody's home. Two o'clock is like a weird hour, like on a Saturday, but some people are still actually home. So I'm looking at my analytics. If I have to change it, I'll just change it, but I'm gonna try it out. So it'll be two o'clock on Mondays now and two o'clock on Saturdays. That way it gives me time to like really hone in on what I'm trying to push out for you guys. So that's the first thing that is the time. So that's the first change you guys are gonna see on my channel. The second change you're going to see is you're gonna see, for those of you guys who go on through a computer, and I think you can actually see it when you're on your actual iPhone or your Android or whatever, your cell phone, I'm reorganizing my playlist. That way it's a little bit more structured for the folks who are coming in new and they don't really know what my channel is about because I did switch around a couple of times because I wanna make sure this is like an easy process, not easy as far as editing and stuff like that, but just like a nice flow for me, especially with the things that go on in my day-to-day life. So I'm gonna have really nice detailed playlist for you guys, and I'm gonna start out with hauls and try-ons, okay? So those are the things that I get in new pretty much, trying on the items, showing you ladies what I got as a tall girl. Just anything new, it can be perfume, any type of haul that you can think of is gonna be in that section for you guys to kind of see what I got going on, from bags to shoes to whatever it is that I could actually wear on my body accessories. That's gonna be in one particular playlist. The other one is going to be a tall girl series, and I kept that a little bit separate. You may see some of the videos in both. The reason why I did a tall girl series because I have a ton of videos from like three years ago where I kind of went into tall girl struggles and stuff, and went through like a whole series. And I even went into shopping as a tall girl type of thing, and it has like, I don't know, it's specific with the word tall. So if someone comes to my page or my channel and they are looking for that, they're gonna be able to see that. But some of those videos will actually be inside of the haul and try-on video as well. So I hope that helps, but those of you ladies who are tall, who don't really know that I am tall, that you will have those videos there for you to look at when you are ready to kind of like dive in and binge watch. That's the second thing that's gonna be changing on my channel. I'm gonna have different playlists. So it's gonna be like a haul and try-on. It's going to be a tall girl series. It's gonna be like a tips and tips and tips and wardrobe must-haves one. Those are like a little bit more structured videos. They're all kind of structured with the exception of the blog. But you'll see all of those in one area. Then you'll see things like food or healthy foods and things like that. So that's gonna be me buying groceries and stuff like that. For those of you guys, I'm plant-based when I told y'all I ate a piece of salmon the other day. And I'll tell y'all about that later. So you'll see stuff like that. And then you also have a section in there for corporate style tips. Those videos was when I was trying to incorporate my actual style services, which I don't really want to do. But those videos are gonna stay there for the girls who are starting work. And they don't want to, I guess I would say, do dress the wrong way in an office. It sounds crazy, but trust and believe me, the girl is doing. So those are some of the playlists that you are gonna see on my channel when you go to like my homepage. It'll be a lot more easy to read for you guys and hopefully that helps, guys. And hopefully it helps the folks coming in new and who are ready to subscribe. And if you cannot subscribe, if you like this video, make sure you are subscribing below to the channel. Let's get this going, guys. So the other thing is you are going to see a lot more calls and try-ons. And you're also going to see a lot more of just fashion in general. I think I have taken a step back from it. And I think it had a lot to do with just having a ton of stuff on my mind where it came to my outside life, particularly my job. So I had an epiphany recently and I was just like screw y'all pretty much. Like whatever happens happens. And I like I really don't care anymore. My focus is really like making sure that I get this content out to you guys. That's great and that you guys absolutely love. So if you guys have anything that you wanna see on my channel, please let me know. I know there was a young lady who said she wanted to see some cooking stuff. I did not forget. It's so dark downstairs that when I am cooking, like the lighting is just not good. So I'm still trying to figure out what I can put on my actual camera to give you some really great cooking videos on things that I actually eat. It's not a ton because I still eat a lot of alkaline stuff from Dr. Sabi's list. But I did incorporate more vegetables that he didn't have on his list. Why do I wanna get into more fashion stuff? Because I want to get to those girls who want to shop like you don't wanna shop trends all the time. You wanna still be able to look nice. This is gonna be the channel for you because I am going to give it to you guys. So let's get into the other thing that I wanna actually start doing is collabing with some of the other YouTubers. I wanna start collabing with some of the girls even if it's not someone that I already met, someone that may come across my video that's tall. We can definitely collab. You do not have to live in Atlanta. You can live wherever we can do some sort of collab and get this going on for us tall ladies. Because listen, the moment I get a chance to get to these brands so they can start getting to us, I will. So that's what you're gonna start seeing. And back to the playlist. I'm gonna have a playlist for skincare and stuff like that. So you're not gonna have to go through all of my videos trying to figure out where the stuff is. So you'll see that also in a separate playlist as well as far as skincare products, beauty products, things like that. So hopefully that does help you guys when you are maneuvering through my page, when you are maneuvering through my channel, trying to watch my videos when you are free and have time to do it. So recap, we're gonna have a new time which is gonna be starting. First Saturday video will be next week Saturday, okay? This video today is gonna be going up on Sunday. So my first Saturday video will be next week. My first Monday video will be the following week. So I'm still gonna post Sunday for this week. And then Monday, I'm not going to post. I'm gonna post on Wednesday my normal time. If I do not post a video, it is solely because I'm trying to get everything together but you guys will know that before that happens. The other thing is my playlist. They're gonna be a lot more organized for you to actually roll through all the videos when you have time to kind of see what is actually on my channel. The third thing is I'm gonna be doing a lot more halls and tryouts for you guys as a tall woman because the struggle is real. And the fourth thing is I am going to try my best to collab and reach out to some of the girls online. Usually I am very reserved but I'm gonna have to do this if I wanna grow on YouTube and take my channel to the next level and bring you guys along with me. So that is a recap of everything that I'm gonna be changing on my channel and I hope you guys stick around for it. If you guys have any suggestions, make sure you are putting that in the comments so I can see them. If you have questions about my YouTube channel, my Instagram channel, my TikTok or whatever, let me know. Any questions about shopping tips for tall women, definitely let me know guys. I am here for it, here for the constructive criticism as well. Anything that you would like to say, be respectful in the comments and we are golden. So those are the things that I'm gonna be changing on my channel. I do not want to give up on YouTube. I told you guys I did monetize, finally got my first check. I didn't do a separate videos because I'm still trying to do a bunch of stuff but I do wanna go through this stuff because it wasn't like everybody else's story. Everybody's story is completely different but I'm very appreciative of what I got. I know that it does take some work. Some people can blow up overnight. Some people don't. But I'm gonna tell you this, I'm gonna work hard until I get to where I want my channel to be and have the community that I wanna build and work with the people that I wanna work with guys. So thank you guys for tuning in. Make sure you are subscribing to the channel again guys. If you like videos like this, please comment below and if you stay to the end of this video, please comment Coco we see you and don't forget to follow me on Instagram at Coco Styles NYC and Coco Styles NY. And my personal style blog, Coco Styles NYC. You guys know I run a tall girl blog where it has tips and tricks for tall women, style hacks, things that we struggle with. And these tips are not things that they're only for tall women. Anybody could actually use these tips. They are things where there are things on there as far as how to create a capsule wardrobe, wardrobe essentials, things like that. So it's not specifically pushing out the average height of girls but it is geared towards tall women. But thank you guys for tuning in. I will catch you guys in the next one. Bye guys.
