Happy Sunday everyone! It’s been a while since I came through with an interactive post, so let’s make this a habit for 2022. Before I get to the help I need, I would like to thank everyone who commented on yesterday’s post about my biggest fears of starting a Youtube channel. I was pleasantly surprised to get the positive feedback and have since come up with content ideas.
If you have not yet checked out my Youtube channel, you can find it here. I plan on sharing more detailed blogging advice tips and sharing everything that has helped me in the corporate world. So if that’s something you’re interested in, I’d love it if you subscribed!
Here’s another secret… I created my Youtube account as a teenager and my URL is ‘chris b rocks my world’. Yes, very embarrassing, I know! But Youtube will only let me change it if I reach 100 subscribers! Ha!
So why don’t I just create a new one? Well, that’s cause I have a paid subscription under this one and the algorithm already knows what I like… So I’ll just cross my fingers and hope to reach 100 subs soon.
“What do you need Shelly?”
Awww how sweet of you for asking! For today, I thought it would be fun to get your help on some of the major decisions for the channel. I’ve been asking my closest friends, and they’ve helped tonnes. But since you are my target audience, it’s only fitting to get your feedback too.
Help! What outro should I use?
I had a funny conversation with a friend yesterday who didn’t know what an outro was. But logically speaking, who knows the terminology of these things until you are deep in it? So if you are wondering, the outro would be the clip that I would put at the end of every video.
Are we a fan of the cartoon picture, or is it very cheesy?
My friends were a bit divided on this one, and I personally prefer the cartoon pick. I’ll let you choose though.


Help! What should the next video be?
I know, I know, I created a channel and I’m asking you what videos I should make… Here’s the thing, I already made a get-to-know-me Q&A video to set up for Friday, but hubby and my bestie made a fair point. No one really knows who I am yet, so why would that be the second video on the channel? Since you guys know me well and are my current viewers, I’ll leave it up to you…
I’ll leave it to those three questions for today. If you enjoy being a part of this process and would like to see more ‘Journey to Youtube’ dedicated posts, please let me know in the comments!
Have a blessed weekend and thanks for the help my friends. And please don’t forget to subscribe to the channel:)
i voted and hope it helps!
Thanks Beth! Much appreciated 😊
Is it weird that I think a mash-up of both outros would be best? Like, the second video with the cute pic but also with the part asking to like and subscribe as a reminder?
Funny enough that’s what I had shown hubby last night and he said just the first, so I took the other part out. Gosh it’s funny how everyone has a different opinion 😅
Dang haha well whatever you end up using will be fab either way 😊
It’s going back in 😁
For the outro, I’d actually choose a combination of the two options. Include the pic with the call to action to like, subscribe and share!
Hmmm if both you and Ang are saying it, I think it’s worth doing. Thanks for the feedback!
Right. We can’t both be wrong! LOL
Agreed, I thought this too!
It shall be done!
This might just be a personal preference for me but what if you made the “thanks for watching” transition (and others too) a little faster? The audience attention span can be short after all. Other than that, this is so exciting!!
I love this feedback! You’re right about that actually cause I usually skim most videos too… let me work on it ☺️
I have already subscribed to your channel ❤
So happy to see you grow more and more
Thanks so much for supporting Vani 🥰
I’m a full fledged subscriber!!💖💖👏
I appreciate you!
Awwww sooo sweet!!!❤️🙏thank you and I you!
I voted! Can’t wait to check out your channel! I, for one, can’t get enough of videos on blogging secrets, tips and tricks, etc! Good luck!
First of all congratulations Shelly on your YouTube channel. I just saw your post and I voted for your questions. You will definitely have my consistent support. Good luck for your new journey and I hope you will simply rock.
Thanks Manisha ☺️ I’m super excited and really happy that you’re gonna be watching. Please subscribe if you want to keep up to date with the YouTube channel 🥰
You are welcome Shelly and yes I subscribed to your channel. Can’t wait to see your wonderful content.❤️
Loved your first video! You are so charming and authentic, and the bloopers were very cute!
Haha thanks Suzanne 😊 you made my day! 🥰🥰🥰
How exciting on your next venture! Can’t wait to see you integrate your blogging & vlogging worlds. As for the outro, I love both but what if you combined elements from both examples.. for example, definitely use a picture of yourself AND have share and subscribe buttons in the outro. And I like the cartoon you but I think it feels more authentic to have the real you. Anyway, can’t wait to see what else you do with your vlog.
Yay thanks Helen 😊
Seems like the common feedback on the outro, so I’ll fuse the two!
