 16.8 watch hours, and then I gained 5,600 subscribers from it and I made Hey guys, what is up? Welcome back to my channel. So for today's video I'm gonna be doing like a day in the life of a youtuber I also do video editing on the side and I just started to do background acting So I thought what a better video to take you guys along and just kind of show you my work and What it's like working for yourself and how that all goes like what I do during my days And I thought that it would be just like really interesting if you're coming from an outside perspective and want to know what a youtuber with Almost 30,000 subscribers does in a day and what that looks like I know I've shown it like a bit here and there in the vlogs, but I've maybe done one dedicated video for it I don't really remember probably done one But I figured that this would be super interesting to do an updated one at least I'm gonna read you guys out like my tasks that I gotta do today so that you guys can get an idea of My day so it's currently Monday for reference. So it's 9 a.m. Right now when I woke up an hour ago So I woke up at 8 the first thing that I did was I did like my morning practices And then my first task of the day was just I just wanted to clean my room So I just did that and then for my work stuff today I gotta finish editing my YouTube video for today upload it get the thumbnail done And then I have to edit another vlog that I filmed last week as well And I have to submit it to the company because it has a sponsorship in it So I got to make sure that I do that today because if I do it any later Then it's going to delay the video But I need that video to go up this week if that makes sense and I also have to do my video editing job I have to edit at least one YouTube video for them today And if possible, I'll do more but you never really know how long something is gonna take you So I don't like to over shoot my shot I just will kind of write down things that I know I could get done and then leave the rest to see How much time I have left so yeah I'm gonna take you guys along just for the next couple days. I think or few days I think this video is gonna be really interesting. So stay tuned Also, I used to just like wake up out of bed in my pajamas and just work in my pajamas But I found that changing into lounge wear I know it's like almost the same as pajamas But just changing into lounge or makes you just feel so much more put together And it makes the biggest difference for me and just even just like brushing through my hair and doing those little things That is gonna make me feel more put together to work versus just being lazy in my pajamas It makes the biggest difference. So this is just the fit that I threw on today It's just a silk sports bra with these really flowy pants that still make me feel so freaking comfortable But it also just makes me feel and look somewhat more put together than me wearing pajama shorts and a big loose t-shirt Okay, so I just finally finished the video for today. It's uploading and now I got to make the thumbnail It's 1255 right now. So pretty much one o'clock after I take the video I'll take like a whole bunch of photos that I can choose from to make the thumbnail So I'll quickly like screen record my screen so you guys can see what I do to make a thumbnail Obviously every thumbnail is a little bit different. So the way that I make it every single time varies But I'll just show you guys how I make this one This is gonna be a little bit more simple than my usual thumbnails just because it's just like a sit-down talking video So these thumbnails are usually the easiest to make which is very convenient. So I first just pick my favorite photo And I think I'm gonna go with this one Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with this one and then I go like I click the square button and then go up here 16 by 9 which is like the dimensions for a thumbnail So I fixed that and that should be about right and then I just use literally the iPhone editing So I'll turn down the highlights contrast Make it just a vibrant fun Attractable. Okay, so I managed to get the photo pretty good. This is the original This is the after on the iPhone editing They honestly prove so much and I just I literally edit all my photos on the iPhone editing okay, so now that we've done that I'm gonna go into Fonto and Upload the photo and I'm just gonna write something on it since videos about manifestation I'm gonna write the words across. I'm just gonna write manifestation. I think across So I'm just gonna give you guys a quick time-lapse of what I'm doing here Okay, YouTube videos uploaded thumbnails in it's going up in an hour I was post my videos at 3 so I just scheduled them and now I'm just gonna go straight into editing for work I'm just gonna do the video that I need to get done So I can just get that out of the way before I start editing my next vlog So it's currently 217 just first time stamp Okay, so it is currently 6 30 update on my work. I finished my first YouTube video I did half of the video needed to get done for work and I did half or I'd say three quarters of my second YouTube video That I need to get done by tonight But I had to quickly do my makeup just now because it's my brother's birthday dinner with like just our family So gotta go attend that downstairs. So we're taking a break But afterwards I'm gonna have to go back to editing because I'm just feel like I'm so behind And I think the reason why I'm so behind is because of it just being summer and I'm kind of Having a little too much fun and I've just been slacking a little bit So that is why I have so much shit to do, but it's okay. We're gonna get back on track this week It's all gonna be good. It'll be fine But yeah, I'll talk to you guys when I do more work later and hopefully get everything done today And tomorrow I need to wake up at like 8 a.m Because I need to go for a COVID test because on Wednesday I have a casting for the background movie thing that I'm doing So this can be really cool to take you guys along to that in this vlog It's technically it is like work related. So hey guys, so it is currently 1215 and I just finished editing the vlog that I needed to get done But you know we're powering through I gotta wake up early tomorrow and drive far, but it's fine We're fine. We're doing great. Um, this is all my fault that this is very delayed So I can't complain, but it is currently uploading right now and As soon as it's done uploading I need to send the unlisted link to the sponsor of the video so that they could approve it Wednesday and that's why I needed to get it done by tonight so that they could approve it in time for Wednesday I just wanted to not cut it too close So I just hope that they could approve the video by tomorrow so that I can schedule it and then it's all Good to go for Wednesday, but yeah, I'm gonna get ready for bed Well, it's finishing to upload and then I'm gonna go right to bed because I'm so tired, but yeah, that's a little update I mean, it's amazing working for yourself, but we don't have set hours. You catch yourself working at like 12 a.m But we love it Wouldn't trade it for anything else. I really wouldn't okay. I'm gonna go to bed after I send the link See you tomorrow. Okay guys, so I went to go get COVID tested this morning for the movie set got tested at 940 and then I didn't leave until like 10 30 and I just got home at around 11 30 so it was an hour away So it's one o'clock right now and I'm gonna get started on my work I just had like a nice breakfast settled down for the morning did my morning stuff that I used to get down because literally I just woke up and left so we're gonna start the work day official workday right now the Show that I'm going to be background acting for tomorrow does pay you to do a COVID test Obviously because like you're driving all the way there So technically I was working this morning because I went to go get the test. It's technically I did get paid So the video that I sent in at 12 o'clock last night did not I didn't receive it any email back from the sponsorship So I'm still waiting on that. I hope they get back to me But just in case I'm going to make sure to film and edit and submit my princess Polly haul today So that if the first sponsorship doesn't get approved by tomorrow I think princess Polly is going to be very fast to apply to me because they've been replying to my emails really fast So I hope that the princess Polly one will be like a backup plan for tomorrow in case the vlog doesn't get approved Until the end of the week. So we got backup options. So I have to film the princess Polly haul today I have to edit the princess Polly haul. Oh god. I also have to take a photo for it Shit the princess Polly haul cannot go live unless I post a photo I have to post a photo at the same time that the video goes live when in doubt. I have to post it tomorrow I have to have that photo ready and I don't have a photo Shit. Oh god. Okay. I've got to think about that one But I think what I'm gonna do right now is I'm just going to because I told you guys that I needed to get a Video for work done yesterday and I only did half of it only ended up getting half of it done yesterday So I'm going to get the other half done right now And hopefully I can get the other video that I need to get done as well for work I can get those banged out by today and then Tomorrow the thing is is I can't work tomorrow because I'm gonna be going all day They didn't even give me the call time yet because apparently you don't get that until like very last minute Like I could I might only be getting it by tonight Like what time I need to be there tomorrow and stuff like all the details like I don't have any details So yeah, I'm not gonna be able to do anything tomorrow. So I need to get it shit done today I also before I start working on like my own stuff. I have to go online and submit some stuff for the Agency tomorrow quickly. So I'm gonna do that before anything because I know I'm gonna forget I don't do it now. I got a lot on our plate Let's see what I need to do. I just got an email from them And now my Wi-Fi is not working on Wi-Fi or it wasn't working yesterday. We have to like reboot the whole thing So we get really bad Wi-Fi in my area because I kind of live in a rural area and the Wi-Fi Just it's kind of shitty out here I mean, I'm not gonna complain because at least we do have Wi-Fi But sometimes it could be just really like slow and stuff. Okay, so the Wi-Fi started working and I think I did everything I needed to do for tomorrow. I mean the COVID stuff makes it so confusing. It's just so much So much like extra hassle with all the COVID stuff got to make an account on this health thing So I'm gonna photo like do all this stuff my info in because obviously I'm gonna be getting my test results So I need to see that but I think I did everything. I hope I did this is like my first time doing all this stuff So it kind of seems a little confusing and overwhelming, but I feel like I'm fine I feel like I did everything so I guess we'll see but now I'm just gonna work on the video that I didn't finish yesterday I'm just gonna do the other half it and then go from there But I'm definitely gonna make myself a coffee right now because I need the energy Okay, so it is currently 330 coffees all down the gutter. I'm feeling way more awake now So I just finished the video that I needed to get done for work I'm just uploading it right now to the drive and I think what I'm gonna do now just to get it out of the Way is film the princess Polly haul real quick instead of doing the other video for work just to get myself a little bit of a Different task to do instead of just sitting in front of my computer like I've been for the past couple hours before I do that I'm just going to reply to some comments on my newest video because I always like to get back to you guys for leaving such Sweet and nice comments I try my best to reply to them all because I just really appreciate your guys's comments So I definitely like if you take time out of your day to say something nice on my video I definitely want to give back to you and reply to your comment or at least like your comment and notice it So that is what I'm gonna do right now because I try and do it like right away after the video just went live But this video went live yesterday And I replied to like the first batch of comments when it first went live But then like the day got busy and I haven't looked back on it yet So now I'm just gonna look at the newest comments and reply to them So important to build like a relationship with your audience and I don't know what I would do if I wasn't replying to your comments Like I feel like that's just so rude I mean I totally get it if like you're like a huge youtuber and you get multiple multiple thousands of comments a day Like that's just impossible to reply to everybody But I definitely want to try and make the best effort that I could to at least reply to as many of you as I can Because I appreciate your guys's comments and support on my videos so much and I just want to do whatever I can to get back So I feel like my sit-down videos do way worse Like views wise and my vlogs like my blogs do way better and the video that I just posted yesterday was a manifesting video So it shows that it's 10 out of like ranking by views 10 out of 10 So it's actually like my worst viewed video within the past 10 videos that I posted if that makes sense So let me guys know do you like this sit-down videos? Should I just do vlogs because it's just hard to do Three vlogs a week because if I did three vlogs a week I'd have to be literally vlogging every single day of the week and I just don't have the ammo to do that because I'm not doing Anything interesting that often if that makes sense and I do Still want to post three times a week and yeah I don't know let me know down below if you guys like my sit-down videos I should do less of them because I've been trying to post like once one of them a week I don't know. I personally like them So I'm gonna do what I want and not like base it obviously up of other people's opinions But it's just cool to know if you guys like them and what you think of them And if you want to see more less, but yeah in the end I am just gonna do what I want to do and feel in the Moment, but it's also cool to know other people's like opinions and what you guys are thinking since you're my audience And I obviously want to make content that you love as well. But yeah, that's just like the reality of Posting videos is that you're gonna have some videos that are gonna track a larger audience and do a lot better than Other videos and it's just really interesting to see what kind of videos do better What kind of videos do worse and some videos will get like just like do regular at the start And then they'll totally pick up like even it could be like a month later They'll start getting like a bunch of views and it's just weird how the algorithm works and how some videos can blow up Like a month after you posted them So a lot of the time it's not really initially that they're gonna blow up Sometimes that is the case, but that's never happened to me like all my videos that have blown up and got a lot of views Have got a lot of views a couple weeks or like a month after posting it It really just went up I'll try and find like a graph to show you guys what I mean on one of my videos That did really well on this recent video the one that was like how to be that girl I'll show you guys just the statistics on it. So you guys can just get an idea. So it got 200,000 views it was published 16.8 watch hours, and then I gained 5,600 subscribers from it and I made $900 from this video and I guess this was kind of a gradual increase But as you can see in the beginning it wasn't very doing well, and then it just boom It just like went up like that So it's also really cool because you can literally go into the statistics and see top your graphics From the video like the age range how many are not subscribed So 96.6 people who watch this video weren't subscribed and only 3.4 were which is crazy And yeah on a normal video that's not blown up There's like obviously more people that are subscribed like the ratios way larger It's like 80% subscribed and like 20% not subscribed. So yeah, it's just interesting I might make like a more in-depth video later on about like YouTube and everything how that algorithm works But I don't think I'm gonna do that until a little later on until I'm really gotta figure it out because it's almost impossible To fully figure the algorithm out but right now I'm just posting I want to do what makes me feel good, and I'm not trying to necessarily follow all of the trends Obviously if there is a trend that I want to do then I'll do it But if it's not something I'm interested in I'm not gonna try and fake a video and just do it to get views Because I'm in this for the long run and I want to make sure that my audience likes me and my content rather than just Subscribe for me to for a trendy video. Yeah, even though your growth process might be slower doing it that way in the long run It's gonna benefit you a lot more so and I feel like as I keep doing YouTube and getting experience all like Collect more tips and stuff for you guys that I can eventually make like a giant whole video and explain everything But right now I just don't feel like I'm a hundred percent ready to do that yet because I haven't obviously figured it out a hundred percent yet So I'm just gonna wait until I'm a little more confident. Anyways, I'm just looking through my email my business email real quick and this Subscriber said that they're a huge fan and their sub and they link their Spotify And they want me to check out their music to put in my video So I'm just gonna listen to that real quick and get back to them I check my emails around like twice a day But yeah as for sponsorship at my subscriber count It can be a little bit difficult just because people and companies want to take advantage of me And they don't want to pay my real price So it's also kind of difficult figuring that out and negotiating and there's just so much really that goes into it But if you guys are a youtuber and an influencer Just make sure that you guys are getting what you're worth because companies will try to take advantage of you and pay you Way below what you're worth because they think that you're not smart But you got to educate yourself so that you know what you're worth Okay, so I'm about to film my princess Polly Hall and I thought it that I'd give you guys it behind the scenes How I clear my filming space how I'm setting up over here So as you can see it's a mess and I want to film in front of here And I want the clothing rack here beside me and mirror and shift some things But I need to close the closet so that hide all this shove a couple things in here So this is what I do to compromise when I'm not gonna clean fully these outfits are for my Casting tomorrow it pisses me off because this drawer it just doesn't close It's not like there's anything necessarily really in the way. I don't think it just it just doesn't yeah There's nothing in the way it literally just doesn't properly Shut like it doesn't stay shut But I think that's good enough for now gotta move on this shit So I just removed this painting just because I wanted just to have like a more clean clear background here And I'm gonna move the yoga mat Okay, so now the mirrors out of the way. Can you guys still see it? No, okay? It's just over there I'm gonna walk the clothing rack over here and put it here. I'll get the ring light So this is the ammo here for the hall Everything is opposite. I'm gonna reposition this probably when I actually set the camera up to get the angles right I already had everything put on the clothing rack because whenever a company sends me clothing I like to put it on my clothing rack so that I know that I need to get this filmed and done So just kind of a reminder sitting there every day Okay, so now I'm gonna switch over this camera to this bigger tripod because this Guy extends So that's what I need for this video. Okay. I'm gonna put this I'm gonna change the tripods out right now Cuz right now I just have like a tiny ass tripod. Okay, so I'm switched over to my g7x because obviously I'm going to be using this big eye for filming right now. So I'm just on my mini camera So this is a setup that we have so far I'm just gonna adjust some things get a chair and get the ring light in and I'm gonna set this camera up So you guys can see that little montage Okay, so now I just figured out the angles I have everything in place the ring light and the camera are perfectly placed right now So the last thing right before filming that I do is I'll just touch my makeup up or put on makeup So timestamp it's currently 430 Makeup touch up is done now do something to help it. Let's commence the filming. Hello you guys Welcome to another video. Okay guys So I just finished the like talking part of the video and now I'm doing the try on hole I have my camera set up I have my phone set up on a tripod as well because I need to take photos for the thumbnail and I also need to get Obviously content for the trial and portions. So we've got two travels going on and a ring light So this is my little phone set up and then this is my camera set up I love how literally there's junk that I just shot behind the camera. It's kind of funny But I feel like it's relatable. So yeah, this is me right now. I'll give you guys a little bit of a montage Okay, guys, it is currently 730 and I just finished filming everything is done. My room is still a mess But that's fine. We'll take care of it. So I just got the email and the information about tomorrow So I'm just going to read over all of it and make sure that I'm prepared for tomorrow It's my first time doing background acting and I'm actually nervous like honestly I'm nervous just because I just don't know what to expect. It's kind of scary just because it's my first time And I don't know what I'm walking into. So that's the only thing that's making me feel a little uneasy It'll be fine because when I do more and more I'll get more used to it and stuff So it's fine, but I am feeling a bit uneasy and nervous Right now to be honest Not gonna lie. I'm just happy that the filming is done I'm just gonna look over the paperwork right now and then I will update you guys Later if it's anything work related So I just got here and I have no idea where to go right now Like I don't even know if I'm in the right parking lot So I'm gonna go out and try to figure it out some of the little stress But I know it'll be fine Hey guys, so it is the next day the day after I went to do the background acting and What a freaking cool experience it was we did an 11 hour day So I was there at 10 and we didn't wrap until 9 so it was a very long haul But it was like the best experience. I met some really amazing people made some new friends Yeah, it was just super fun And they used us more than I thought that they would like I actually was going back and forth in the holding room to set And I know that's not that common because a lot of the times you'll just be sitting for the whole time So they actually did get good use out of us, which was good because it wasn't boring really like there was never a time Where I was necessarily bored until it veered towards the end and I was just getting really tired But the one thing that was miserable about it was I was wearing heels the whole day at least when I was on set I would switch between my sneakers and heels But when I was on set they were making me walk like back and forth for the shot and oh my god I wasn't the most uncomfortable heels of course and my feet were killing me like my toes were literally swollen I've recuperated now we're fine, but I literally came home took my makeup off. Oh my god It was just disgusting and I just went right to bed and I got the best sleep ever But overall it was such a cool experience And I can make like a whole other separate video on it because this is not what the video is about But this is a working video. So I just wanted to like incorporate that. So yeah yesterday I was gone the whole day didn't do anything but that so for yesterday's video I was telling you guys that I was awaiting the sponsor and they have not gotten back to me about the video yet So yesterday I had to take the sponsored portion out of the video and replace it with something else for yesterday's video Which was fine, but now I'm gonna have to make a new video for them and just pop that sponsored portion in that video Which kind of is shitty, but it's fine I'll work around it video that I'm doing with Princess Pauly is going up tomorrow And I need to finish editing it today submit it so that I can get Verified for tomorrow and then I also I'm going to shoot the Instagram photo today as well Yeah, so I have editing to do right now that I'm gonna get done I'm just I just want to finish the video first thing the Princess Pauly so I can submit it and then make sure to get that Photo done today as well. So that's like on my priority list today And then in between those gaps I'm gonna do some work for my editing job But yeah, I'm going to go work outside right now because we got new couches And for now our old couches are on the deck because we just haven't moved them yet And it's kind of low-key fire having our couches on the deck because it's so comfortable just to sit out there now So I'm gonna go work outside on the couch, which is actually really nice and edit that Princess Pauly video and Yeah, I'll let you guys know when I finish that because it's probably taking me a hot minute. So oh, let's get editing Okay, so I finished my makeup and this is gonna be the fit for the shoe I'm gonna put on some heels and literally just shoot on my couch. I think we'll see how that turns out I mean, yeah, we'll see never really downing anything like it before but I think it should be fine So gotta get it done before three. So we got a power through. Okay, so I got like everything set up I got my green light. I got like a selfie tripod in case I want to do that by myself But first of all, I'm just gonna get Joel to shoot the photos just because that makes it a lot easier So since he's here, I'm gonna use him Okay, so I just finished picking up the photos editing them and now they're ready to post and it's currently one o'clock So I have like two hours until I need to post them and yeah, I'm just gonna take these heels off right now get changed into something more comfortable and clean this up I got my ring light out Shit on the floor about the extension cord and then do some editing work because I really want to get Monday's video up for Next week as well as doing some of my editing work because as I think I told you guys Next week I have oh, I don't think I did I got a gig again, and it's for two days in a row So I'm gonna be missing two days out of the week next week So I'm gonna be completely gone for the two full days So I definitely need to work the weekend just so I can get ahead for the week so that I'm not stressing out and so that I can upload still three times a week because uploading three times a week is actually really hard It's just like you always have to be filming you always have to be coming up with ideas to film and it is very very difficult It's it would be very difficult to work like a full-time job and do it I don't even think that would be possible because it would just become you would just get burnt out Because so much work does go into YouTube and I feel like a lot of people brush it off as like oh It's so easy and yes It is very enjoyable at least for me and it is fairly easy Tasks to do but there's also like the creative side of it where people don't realize like you really got to be creative and you always have to be on that creative flow or else you're not gonna know what to post and You have to create your content like you don't just go in for work And then people give you work to do it's like the opposite like you have to create your own work Like you have to think of the videos to film you have to create things to do to vlog and that's what's difficult about it It's the creativity part if you're not like a creative person It's would be like very hard to keep thinking of video ideas and just like things to film in general so you definitely have to have that creative aspect of it and it can get Difficult at times. I'm not complaining or saying it's difficult overall but I'm just saying that like it is like a real job to have and a lot of people don't notice that like and don't see behind the Scenes about like you've got to be answering emails and there's like business deals and it's like owning your own business Which it literally is so yeah, even though I'm not like a super big creator obviously I'm trying to get there So I want to keep posting consistently three times a week for as long as possible I mean I don't see myself ever cutting down I want to be as consistent as possible So I do get the results and I know that if I stay consistent even though it might take a while of pushing through I know I will be successful and consistency is key and I'm just gonna keep being myself in front of the camera and You know do it makes me happy and I know that I'll get there one day I'm not rushing it because there's no point of rushing it That'll just make things worse and that just means you're not trusting the process And I just want to try and enjoy my journey as much as possible Even though I do have goals to achieve and that I want to achieve I still am trying to really just enjoy the process and not rush anything because everything comes in due time And I completely believe that that everything will happen when it's supposed to happen And I know that I'll get there when I'm supposed to get there and when I'm ready to get there So very happy where I'm at right now, and I just have to stay consistent So that's where I'm at with everything right now Obviously, it would be amazing to do this as a completely full-time thing technically I could do it full-time, but having the editing job and like obviously helps and I'm not gonna turn that down because I make Really good money doing that. Um, so right now. I'm obviously still gonna be keeping that because it does help a lot
