Quotes: If you’re stuck choosing a topic, look back at what has worked before. The blogs are the “why” and the “what” and the YouTube videos are the “how.” - Jess It’s amazing how much a video can help you connect with someone. - Jess It’s amazing how much hearing someone’s voice and/or seeing them on camera can build a connection. - Jess Do not let equipment hold you back! Just start with your iphone or smartphone because being successful on YouTube is a lot more about telling stories and connecting with people than it is high production value. - Jess It’s really about providing value and telling as story that helps people relate to you. - Jess Sometimes we get caught up in the little details and it stops us before we even start. They’re not going to subscribe unless you give them a reason that pulls them in. - Jess When you stick to the topics you know, it’s super easy to talk about it. - Jess Just like any other social media platform, consistency is the key to growing on YouTube. - Jess Show Notes: Connect With Jess: Website: http://www.jesscreatives.com YouTube: http://www.jesscreatives.video/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jesscreatives/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jesscreatives Links Mentioned In this Episode: How To Make A Youtube Subscribe Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlAoIAjFGIo 30 YouTube Ideas: https://www.jesscreatives.com/resources/
