https://www.youtube.com/live/P1eDfyCk2Ew?si=rsFvvu-MLd5bYPEq So thrilled to be part of a live with the one and only Alexa Saarenoja! @Riva Robinson is hosting Alexa and you are invited to join us and learn with us how to grow your YouTube channel, how to build your audience, and how to stay consistent on YouTube. It will be exciting to hear from Alexa at this pivotal stage in her YouTube career - if you haven't seen her latest video, check it out where she tells us all about BIG CHANGES ahead!

The most terrifying thing, I actually spoke, face on, on the camera! Ok I hid behind a book for some of it, but I challenged myself and I did it! I just watched it and it was very cringe, I daren't watch before as I would never have published it, so the audio is a bit off, and I am sure my face looks unnaturally red but I did it! I had one major event where I did have to stop and start when I knocked a lamp over but I jumped right back in and made myself finish! I tried my daughter's iPhone to take some photos in the garden the other day, and the colour and cinematic mode are amazing in the newer phones! So much better than the old camera that I have!

Today I was going through the posts and I saw that I had missed a lot; both new posts and comments 😞 I am gutted about that. I went into my notifications to see what I had turned on - and have now fixed it so I can see everything. I was so touched to see so many new conversations and questions people had asked, and had answered by you (I was MIA!), our community, and I am so sorry I missed this boat. It's a big effort to decide to contribute, especially meaningfully, in a community, or on a video, or anywhere - because the ask is greater than the human capacity to give to everyone who would like us to contribute. I hope I don't get a strike for a swear-y cup. I am watching reruns of "24" (I never watched it 20 years ago or whenever it came out) but I heard the only reason they got an R13 rating is because the language is low level.... Thank you for being here 😍

I am telling YOU first, because you have been so kind to join my community, this corner of our greater community, adding another thing to your socials life that you check in on occasionally in the hope that it is going to add some actual value. I appreciate you 💝 Not sure if you have heard of this annual event https://www.vidsummit.com/ but I am beyond ecstatic to be going to this for the first time. I am going to make lots of content while I am there, and I'll be focused on getting tips, fine distinctions, and hopefully transformational information for us that will make a difference for our channels. Rest assured you will get my honest takes on everything as being a Kiwi, I keep it real 🦾 Let me know if there is anything you would like to know from VidSummit because I am your girl on the ground!!!
