 So this is what my multi-planetary looks like. Hello you guys, welcome back to a new video. So this video is gonna be a little different than just my normal vlogs because I'm gonna be showing you guys like a work week in my life because usually I film and what I film is the fun stuff, like when I go out, when I wanna talk, but I never really film specifically like what I do exactly for work. Okay, so I'm just gonna give you guys an idea of what I do. One, I am a YouTuber, like that's how I make most of my income. It can sustain me full time. I don't really have to do anything else at the moment. Like if I just wanted to do YouTube, I could. That's my first source of income, is my YouTube channel, so everything that comes along with that. And my second source of income is I do a background acting. So I basically go in maybe like, I don't know, it really depends. One week I can be there twice a week and then maybe one week I'm there once a week, three times a week. It really just depends on like, what kind of gigs I book and all of that kind of thing. So I actually do really enjoy doing it and it's really fun for me. And I do love like interacting with people, meeting new friends and just like such a cool industry to be in. And I don't know, I'm just really enjoying it right now. So I'm just gonna do that until I just don't wanna do it anymore. And it also is the second source of income which is actually really nice too. So it's kind of giving me the best of both worlds. So those are the two things that I do to bring me in money that's like my two jobs. Although it does feel like this is like surreal that I can even say that I have YouTube as my main source of income. I don't even believe in myself. You know, it's like that surreal to me that I'm this lucky to have you guys watching my videos and it can be my source of income. And I'm so thankful every day I just wanted to say that. Anyway, so that's a little ow. That's just like the little intro that I wanted to give you guys in case you're new to the channel or something. But I do consider myself self-employed. So that's a little background story on what I do and what's gonna be in this video. So let's just get into it. So today is actually Monday and it's 4.20 right now. And I have not sat down and done any work today. I honestly just had a really relaxing, fun morning, afternoon, I guess, cause it's already 4.20. And some days I like that with me because I do need to film content for this YouTube channel. Therefore, if I'm at my desk working five days a week, there's not much content to be filmed. So some days of the week is based on getting content, me going out and me doing things. And this afternoon, this morning was one of those days where I do no sit down work. I just kind of focus on getting content because you do need those filming days. So yeah, so that's what was going on this morning and now it's 4.20. Since I haven't like answered emails today, I haven't really looked over much. That's what I'm going to do right now. I like to answer emails at least once a day and sometimes twice a day because if I get replies and I'll go back on, it just really depends what I'm doing that day. But usually at least once a day I'll answer emails except for the weekends. I don't really look at my emails all the weekends. But yeah, so basically, if you're wondering what emails, like what are you talking about? So if brands want to work with me and sponsor one of my videos, they will reach out to me via email. And there is like a lot of spam emails that I do get of like companies that are just like, you know, trying to scam me. I just don't understand there's so many scammers out there. And you can totally tell by the way that the email's written, when is the scam? So yeah, I haven't touched my email today. So that's what I'm going to do right now. And after I'm done answering my emails, I will let you guys know what I'm doing. I'm going to pop my blue light glasses on. I'm like editing and answering emails and stuff. I could be looking at the screen for a very long time. And the blue light glasses definitely like help the eyes strain. Definitely worth it if you guys like work from your computer and are always like online. Okay, so it's currently 4.50. And I just finished sorting through my emails. So that's all done. And yeah, honestly, the way that I plan everything and the way that I stay organized is because of my iPad. And I do not know literally what I would do without this thing. I do not know how I got through my day to day without it because this has been keeping me so organized. I have all my content planned out. I have what I need to do every day. Like for example, today, I'm actually filming three videos today. Not like full video, but for example, I need to film parts of this video that I'm doing right now. I need to film the regular blog for today. And then I also have more of a themed vlog that I got content for today as well. So usually I don't have like that many videos that I need to film in one day like to get clips for. But just the way that I'm, what videos I'm filming in these upcoming weeks, I just had to do that today. But normally I don't have to do that. And I don't usually do that. But anyways, it can get very overwhelming with planning out sponsorships and making sure that they're spaced out enough so that you're not doing like a sponsorship every video because I definitely don't want to do that. But yeah, so I'm just gonna go over like my planner for today. I don't have much table work today. The answer in my emails is really the only thing that I needed to get done from my computer. And then like mostly everything else today is just basically filming. This is the iPad mini. If you guys are wondering what kind of iPad I love like the little size, literally the size of a notebook which makes it so awesome because I have the Apple pencil too. And I use the app GoodNotes by the way. I just love it so much. So I have a notebook that's for my weekly planner for my YouTube video ideas. And here I plan out all of my like YouTube content like what videos I'm gonna post during the week. I have my sponsorship folder where I write kind of like the sponsorships that I'm getting, the briefs for the sponsorships. And then I have my monthly planner. So this is what my monthly planner it looks like. I don't have anything written in yet because this is for February. And then I just got my drawings which I just like to do like random sketches sometimes and then my background work which is like I write down all my bookings to make sure I'm getting paid correctly. And then I just have my manifestation for 2022 which I write down my monthly reflections and everything and my monthly goals. And then I have like my yearly kind of manifestation board in here as well. So these are like my separate notebooks I have within the app. It's called GoodNotes, so yeah. But anyway, so yeah, that's what this Monday looks like. And I'll see you guys tomorrow. Okay, so last time I talked to you guys I told you guys that I didn't have any more work to do tonight, but I lied because I didn't realize I needed to edit my vlog for tomorrow because I'm not gonna have much time to do it tomorrow. I just have spent like a few hours editing it and I'm almost done. I just need to like input like the final touches and like re-watch it and everything so it's probably gonna be like another hour. But here's a little look at my screen. So I got like the book of it done. I just need to add a couple more clips that I still haven't edited and then do the intro, the outro and then just like add the final details and stuff. But it's mostly done. Hi, I'm good. Thank you. How are you? It's going really good. Thank you. How about yours? Okay, it's all good. Yeah, of course. Okay, so I just wanted to give a rundown on what I did today because I didn't really show it because I was filming. I had to film like it was a sponsored video but I already wanted to do that video. So I was just kind of running some errands and I was filming a health vlog. So yeah, I basically like wrote down what I wanted to incorporate in the video and I did some errands, went out and just kind of did my thing because I do want to get back onto a nice health routine. So I kind of started that up. And then I did film a sponsorship and honestly, a lot of people were being like noisy in the kitchen. So I went up and did it in like, we have like a loft. So I just like was like, you know what? Too many people home right now I need to like, I can't film this here. Like we need to go in a different space. And that's why I'm so excited. Like when I eventually, hopefully near future get my own place with Joel, it'll be easier to film because it's not like I'm going to have people that are going to be like occupying, not saying like I'm ungrateful that I live here for free. Like this is my parents home and I'm so grateful but it will be nice once I do move out. I can kind of have more space to film and I don't need to worry about people. I live in a house of six people. So it's like a lot, you know? Sometimes like when I want to film it's like people are in the space and I don't want to do it in front of them and so it could be tough sometimes. But I don't want to complain because I am so grateful but I'm just putting that out there that for example, for the sponsorship people are being allowed in the kitchen. There's too many people around where I wanted to film. So it's like, you know what? We're just going to go do it in this in a separate space. It'll be fine. But yeah, so I did that. Yeah, so today was basically just like a filming day. That's what we did. Hello you guys. So it is currently Wednesday and today I have to do a COVID test for the movie industry because I'm going to be on Riverdale later this week. So I'm doing a COVID test today, COVID test tomorrow. I'm going to head there now. It's 21 minutes away from where I am now. This morning I didn't do any work. It's one, two o'clock and I just had a dentist appointment. So yeah, now we're heading to the COVID test and then after that I need to edit a video and submit it to a sponsor because I want to get it approved for Friday. So I hope that it can be approved for Friday because that's the video that's going up Friday. So if it's not approved, I don't have a video. That's why I need to like get on top of it and get it done as soon as possible and submit it. So yeah, when I get home I'm just going to finish editing it. I edited most of it last night but I just have to like add in a couple of clips and then do like the final touches. So it shouldn't take me too long but let's go with the COVID test. All right, so I just finished editing that video that I needed to get done and I submitted it to the sponsor. Now I'm just waiting for a reply and hopefully they reply by tonight or tomorrow because sometimes the times are different but hopefully I get a response by Friday which is when I want to post it. I feel like it should be fine. So basically what happens to sponsorships if you have to like send it to the company and then the company is gonna either approve it or they're gonna tell you what they want you to change or there's gonna be like little things you gotta, you know, change if they don't like it. So I just really hope that they just approve it and then it's like smooth sailing, you know? I really try and like read like the outline and about their brand beforehand so that like I have a good idea, you know, what they want. I've been planning my fellowships through my iPad and just like writing down a whole bunch of stuff that's gonna help me and like just to make sure that I'm like talking about what they want me to talk about but also incorporating like my thoughts of the product into it. And also before I take any sponsorships I make sure that I try out the product because if I don't, then that's like very unauthentic. That is a little rundown. I'm just about to go to bed because I'm literally exhausted. And yeah, yeah, I'll see you guys tomorrow because we're going for a COVID test. Hey guys, so it's currently Friday and it is currently two o'clock and I'm just leaving for set now. I have no idea what time I'm going to be done at. Like we never get an end time. It's just kind of like a start time and then whatever time they wrap you. It could be two hours. It could be 12, it could be 14, it could be eight. Like you never know. So it's very unpredictable. So I have no idea how long I'm going to be on today. It is a Friday night and usually I don't like working on set on a Friday night but you know what, I love Riverdale so much. Like I love their set so much that I don't even give a shit because it's going to be fun and we're going to have a good time. So I'm just leaving right now and I'm going to be back Monday as well. But anyways, I got to get going. And yeah, I just want to update you guys. I will pick up the camera when I'm done. No idea when that's going to be. So I will see you guys later. It's only like a 25 minute drive which is like so good. It's not far at all. So, see you guys later. So I also forgot to mention that it is Friday and usually I post a video today but unfortunately I'm not going to be able to post one because the company that I sent my video into has not approved the video yet. Like they haven't said anything about it and they haven't approved it yet. Therefore I can't post my video today which is really a bummer and it makes me really sad but you know what? It's fine, I'm not going to stress about it because everything is meant to flow the way it's meant to flow and once you look at life without perspective it's like you don't stress as much. So I'm just, whatever, it's going to get posted when it's going to get posted, whenever they approve it and I just hope they approve it soon. So I can post it at least next week but we'll see. But that's just how it goes sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't go your way and you just have to be okay with it, you know? It's fine. So unfortunately no video today which is really sad but it's okay. I just like literally hate not posting all my posting days which just makes me so sad because I love posting but it's okay. Anyways, I can't be actually going to go down. Okay guys, so before I end off the video I thought that I would give you guys like some tips because I get these questions a lot of like how to start a successful YouTube channel or how to grow and everything. So I thought that I would just kind of sit down at the end of this video and give you guys a couple of tips in case you're interested and if you're not you can just leave the video now. So my number one tip is to be consistent. The money is not going to come right away. Being consistent is like literally the key to success within YouTube. If you're not consistently posting then you're not gonna gain traction. The algorithm is gonna be in your favor if you start posting consistently and that can also be just once a week. Like it doesn't have to be like three times a week. It can literally be once a week as long as you're like posting consistently. Don't post one video or two videos and three videos and then get discouraged that you're getting no views because that is normal. When I say that I had like 80 subscribers or even 30 subscribers for like almost a year I'm not even joking you. Like it took me so long to grow like so long but the thing is is that you can tell when somebody's doing YouTube for the money and you can tell when somebody's doing YouTube because they genuinely love it. You genuinely love YouTube and you're gonna keep posting no matter what no matter what the result no matter how many views you get no matter how many interactions you get with your video you're gonna keep posting. If you're doing it for the money then I would say it's not the place to be for you. YouTube is not as easy as it sounds. There's a lot of work that goes into the videos and it's easy to be stumped on like what videos to post next and not be creative. And so if you're just in it for the money let me tell you now you're not gonna see results right away and it is gonna take a long time for you to build up your channel that it's actually making a substantial income and it does take a lot of hard work so that's why I say like I only suggest that you go into it if you're going into it with your heart and not with money in mind. And maybe you don't know if you're doing YouTube for the money or whether it's just because you want to do it maybe you don't know and that is okay. Like obviously you gotta start somewhere so try it out and if you get if you start posting a couple videos and you're like okay like I do not wanna do this anymore then obviously YouTube is not for you but if you truly wanna post your videos and you're consistently doing them you set aside time for it then if you keep going you will definitely gain traction eventually I promise like I know it takes so long but you will like I thought that I would it was like hard for me like I knew I was like I knew if I kept posting I would gain traction but it's like those first piles of videos that you're posting like you're gonna literally get no traction unless like you post it on your Instagram and you're like oh go subscribe but I didn't wanna do that just because I just wanted to kind of grow organically but trust me it's gonna be so, so hard to see results at the beginning some people do get lucky but it's like 99% of the time you're not and it's gonna take hard work dedication, consistency and you're gonna you need to be in it to win it not in it for the money you know you need to be in it with your heart. My next tip is to work on your thumbnails put as much thought into your thumbnails as you do into your videos because your thumbnails is what people see right away like that's the first thing that makes them click on your video they don't see your video and then click on it they see your thumbnail and then click on your video so make sure that your thumbnails are really reflect what the video is about my next tip is being authentic because people really like relatability so like if you're having a bad day it's like don't hide that you're having a bad day like you can still pick up the camera and vlog just don't put on a fake face because people like to relate to you that's how you're gonna gain like real authentic followers that wanna watch your videos is because they relate to you and they like you and they wanna see the bad sides they wanna see the good side so being authentic and seeing your true self I know sounds really cheesy but it's true that's how you stand out and that's how you be different from everybody else is just by being yourself on YouTube but if you copy the way that someone else acts on YouTube then you're not original you know this is my last little tip if you're struggling on finding like what kind of content you wanna post and stuff honestly I didn't even know at first I was posting really random things and it took me a while to really find what I like my own content and what I wanna post and what content I wanna create it took me a while to find that and that is totally normal honestly just you gotta start from somewhere like you gotta start somewhere if you wanna post like a fashion video one week and you wanna post a tech like a tech video the other week do both like when you're first starting your channel I like this is what I think you should do is you should just like experiment to see what you like to do and so if you wanna do two polar opposite videos I would say just do it at the beginning like it doesn't matter because you're still trying to gain an audience so just do it and then you will eventually find your groove and honestly at the beginning you can also look like to other YouTubers as inspiration I'm not saying like copy them you can look at them for inspiration and like if you wanna do a video that's like similar to theirs you can try it out and see if that's your style see if you like it and slowly as you keep like trying things out and keep making videos you're gonna really realize and tune into what your real style of making videos is and how you are unique from everybody else and that took me like a while to find like what kind of videos I wanted to post like at the beginning of last year is when I really started to take YouTube seriously and I started to post consistently and at first I was just posting kind of videos that I thought would do well and just like random videos that I don't know I just didn't really know exactly what I wanted to do but now I feel like I have such a good grasp on the type of content that I wanna post and what I love doing most and I promise you you will find it at first it's not normal to know exactly what you wanna do unless you do but I would say if you don't know just experiment and you will eventually find it so yeah those are just my little tips that I wanted to share with you guys I hope you enjoy this video this was just kind of like an inside work week in my life that I wanted to show you guys what I do when I'm not like filming if that makes sense I thought it would be cool because I kind of like seeing the behind the scenes as well so I was like you know what this would be a cool video but anyways thank you guys so much for watching if you like this video subscribe and just know that you can do anything that you set your mind to if you wanna become a YouTuber then do it try it out see if you like it and you'll see if like honestly I feel like one a really important aspect to life is to try out different things to really find what your passion is so do that cause that's literally that's what's gonna lead you to your purpose so anyways thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you guys in my next video
