My journey on YouTube so far

 

My journey on YouTube so far⏩

Social media is a vital milestone in foreseeable future. Oh my God! We are the young people of the 21st century who will probably tell our grandchildren stories of corona life and will guide them how to become lazy and binge Netflix in ten different ways, so of course we know that what is vital and what is not.  Hardly our eyes open in the morning and few of our legends search their phone for their latest Instagram feed. That is not it, people have started doing 24 hour no phone challenges as if it as big as taking five or six world geography lessons together in one shot. But these are the new heroes of the world, who most of puberty people love.  So, I think my explanation on how, why or when did social media took over our lives like a spider web is clear. Isn’t it? Social media platforms are like those acne spots which will never leave you until you do everything from applying lemons on your face or sleeping with certain expensive face masks or even crying over them, but no, never in a million years they will go away before you want them to. That is the social media status now. It shows everything, nonsense or no-nonsense, all in the bucket. But right now, we are here to discuss my journey one such platform or rather the only social media platform I’m using till now, so what are waiting for? Oh, yes for me to write and you to scroll down!

I started YouTube back in 2018, yeah, I know I’m sounding like as if it has been a decade, indeed it feels like that. It was a hobby or rather an impulse. It still goes that way, I never wanted to make it my profession or earn something out of it, just I wanted to experience how it feels to say “hey everyone, welcome back to my channel”. I initially started it as a fashion-based content channel and gradually I shifted from my initial thing to everything like now my channel will show you everything and when I say everything, I really mean it. Interesting fact: YouTube is the second most used social media app in the world. Surprised? Anyhow, it is this way and creators like me only make a tiny space in the entire universe of YouTube. But this is out my concern for now, because right now, I am inactive due to my grade 10th but as I might be saying this a hundredth time in my blogs (okay, I’m exaggerating! I know) my boards got cancelled but never mind there is always a second chance. I’m a believer, situations made me. Okay, we are getting off topic, focus!

For those who wish to start a channel or just wanting to understand the whole concept of content creating, here are a few points I’ve learned in my three- year experience. It’s easy to create an account and make a channel but it is considerably difficult to remain active and post the videos on scheduled time because you see, like other apps you need to have a content video and not a song lip sync of fifteen seconds (now, I’m aware that YouTube started YT shorts, but that’s different). Then secondly, everyone makes videos but that just not enough there is lot that is put behind those ten minutes, you brainstorm, you plan, you shoot and finally you edit; this all is lot time consuming process that freshers don’t realise. If you think you’ll post a video go straight to the trending tab then let me remind you we live in the world 7.8 billion population unless you are someone who create songs out of same words again and again (you are smart people, take the hint!). you need to be patient, very patient. On a personal note, it should not be a concern to you unless you are well based with some lakhs of subscribers. Thirdly, create something that people would like to watch, I realised that nobody would be interested in my shopping haul because I’m no Kylie Jenner, so creating something relatable attracts the viewers, even if they are just a fifty.

Before I conclude, let’s say if you are thinking of pursuing a career as a content-creator, you need to keep one thing in mind, it is just like gambling, by saying this what I mean is, it depends upon your luck. Everybody shows you their morning routines but not all of them are with a million of views. Factors which make this difference is quality, effort and a lot of luck. But then again, everything has two sides, so if you feel you are capable of miracles then why wasting time, grab your camera and head start. Overall, I love myself for catering such a diverse hobby and I will keep on going until you know I’m no more entitled (wait what? Entitled?). huff! Let’s just sum up, everything has chances, but that doesn’t mean every chance is right for you. Learn to balance, because a manged person always makes the best of his days. I’ve learnt a lot by YouTube and so far, it was a flamboyant journey and something that will always give me happiness. 

Sending you lots of positivity in these hard times,

Priyal🙋

PS. AH! It was nostalgic to remember, I even started to watch my very first video and I laughed because I’ve grown, a lot. *fake tears*. So, let’s meet you on Sunday with the topic ‘what it is to be a public speaker?’  lots of tips, general errors and myths we have about public speaking will be included. Now, I’m good to go. Bye!

Wrong Direction

Image
  Life is a fork path, where every day you encounter two choices, to ways and two directions. Sometimes you decide for yourself other times you let others decide or sometimes you just let it pass. One thing which lingers while choosing the choice is the fear of going wrong, fear committing error or fear of rejection. You and I cannot see the consequences of those choices, no one can. We only ponder on those reasons visible to us or sometimes we become reckless, ignorant or impulsive and we just choose. Sometimes the right direction, other times the wrong direction. Wrong words, wrong habits, wrong relationships, wrong people, wrong times and most of all wrong blames. That is what we do, always, we play the blame game. You and I choose a wrong direction every other day if not every day but does that undo things? No, then what is the point. Personally, every time I have chosen the wrong direction I have been hurt in the most painful and unexpected ways. And it would be wrong if I deny

Exam Management- A Different Outlook

Image
  Each day is a test. Some days you pass other days you fail but that doesn’t mean you don’t appear for it. You do, there is no other way round except facing it, either win or to lose. Sometimes it’s easy other times its hard, sometimes you cheat to pass other times you don’t feel like giving up on your morals and present utmost honesty even it means to fail but every time you end up giving whatever you know or how far you know. Now tests for life or tests on paper require management. A lot of management.  It is not time management, schedule preparation or stationary arrangement. There is something else that requires to be managed more than any of these petty things. Now the question that arises is what in the world can be more important than books and schedule at this crucial hour; simple – you. You need to be managed, prepared and organized to value the time, plan an unflawed schedule and set up expected ball-points and HBs’.  Exams are a reason to polish yourself, they lay a conse

I’m a female and I’m not weak

"Sometimes the issue simply is that their ceiling, is your floor" World begin inside us. A word so powerful, that it shake cores and yet the species of the other side think we need to be shielded. A word so courageous that even the mountains shook to their feet and yet we are called fragile. A word so graceful that the world mistakes us for China dolls. A word that is a change and yet we are forced to change everything, every time. A word so self-sacrificing that doesn’t look for reason to escape even if the world was ending. A word which brings light yet forced to remain in dark. A word that brings all those together no matter what race, caste or country, they are one and they are women. And today let’s celebrate being a female who don’t have abs or packs  for display of strength, who don’t need weapons for war, who don’t use force but who walks with class rolled up her sleeve and oozes power with allure of elegance. It’s not about hating the other side of population. It’s
