 Hi Freedom Family, welcome back to another episode of The Freedom Hot Seat. My name is Noel and today I am joined by one of our Freedom partners, Hannah Philips. Hannah Philips is a vlogger and she captures many of the wondrous slices of life moments in her life. Not only that Freedom Family, she has a ton of experience when it comes to acting and filmmaking. Let's not waste more time Freedom Family, let's get to know her better. Hannah, what's the main reason and why you have chosen YouTube as your platform? I chose YouTube to make videos because at the time when I started making content in 2012 it was like the in-thing everyone in school was doing it and I was like I'm gonna join in and I'm gonna make content here on YouTube because YouTube is YouTube and it's awesome. I do agree with you Hannah, YouTube has been the platform to go to when you want to create videos. Also, you can get monetary benefits from it. What's the driving force that motivates you every day to make content? What screams in your heart and soul to make videos and share yourself to the world? What motivates me to make a video every single day is the fact that I would count myself as fairly unique on YouTube because I'm not one of those big YouTubers on YouTube. I don't have like a million subscribers and I think having like an average everyday lifestyle and trying to find something interesting out of that everyday lifestyle is what really drives me to make videos. Seeing the amazing things happening in your life every day, whether big or small, is an amazing trait to have. It makes you very bubbly and happy inside. Thank you so much Hannah for sharing this with us. What are the struggles you are facing right now that hinders you to grow your channel? The main thing that I struggle with on YouTube is actually getting the views into subscribers. I get tons of views every single day but I get very little amount of subscribers from those views and I understand that my content is tutorial based primarily and that's what I love doing but I find it hard for those people who watch my tutorial to just stick around that little bit longer to actually know what my content is really like and what I'm actually like on YouTube. Freedom family, you are not the only one struggling to get more active subscribers. Hannah is also struggling to get active subscribers but she did not give up and she's not planning to give up. So should you guys. So Hannah, we now know the struggles you are going through every day on your YouTube career. Now, we want to know what is the one thing that you think you are doing right that enabled you to grow this much on YouTube. The one thing that I feel really helped my channel grow was working on my thumbnails. Before my thumbnails got to where they are now, they were quite normal and quite average but then suddenly I was like why not just make them a little bit better and now I spend like 10 to 20 minutes working on just one single thumbnail and I really think my thumbnails have actually improved my overall like professionalism of my channel. So when you look at my channel page and you see all of these like wonderful looking thumbnails, I really think it just draws in the viewers and it really really helps them to just click on the video and for them to just enjoy the content that I make. Your thumbnails are very important because these are the first things your audiences see when you upload your content. We all know starting a YouTube career is very hard and arduous. As an experienced YouTuber, what advice can you give to our content creators or to our audiences that can help them grow their channel? If I was to give just one bit of advice to the people who are struggling growing their channels, I would definitely say work on your personality. A lot of YouTubers who make content on YouTube often often have this like personality energy and I feel like the reason that they do it is because a lot of viewers don't enjoy just watching content where the person is just a bit dull and not very good at talking to the camera. So I really think giving it a little bit more enthusiasm to everything that you're saying really does help like just sell your content and I really think that is the one tip that I would give to all of you people. Do not be afraid Freedom Family to express yourself in front of the camera. This will make your audiences appreciate you and of course get to know you better. Do not be afraid to be you. Thank you so much Hannah for being part of this show. I wish we can talk more but this is my last question for you. How did we as an MCN help you grow your channel? I really think Freedom helped my channel by giving me these like options to make my channel better such as giving me the ability to use good songs and the ability to use good found effects and just help me understand on what I could do better to make my channel do better. You know Hannah you can always stop to me or maybe Jenny or better yet your boyfriend Luke. I understand how like cliche this is and where they always say like it's always about the family and I truly do feel like I'm part of a family and when I need to know what I'm doing wrong because a video isn't doing as well as I want it to do I can literally just ask them what can I do better and often their tips that they give me are just perfect. Thank you so much Hannah and we are so glad that our message is getting across our Freedom partners. Hannah you've been great the floor is yours.
