And you’re invited❣️ Come for the hour or part of - you’re welcome to pop in and say hi and share what you’ve been up to with your channel OR why you haven’t posted recently if that’s the case too🙌

Good morning! I just started my channel on Feb 1 after being laid off at 63. I started collecting SS last year but was working a part-time job in the corporate world. I wanted to start a channel for the last year or so but was always sooo scared to post the video for various reasons... I felt cringe looking at myself on video; I was trying to lose the weight I had gained after having kidney cancer and so many other excuses. I told my friend I was going in to the office to return my laptop (I worked from home) and told her I'm going to make a YouTube video about it. Her response was, "You've been saying that for a year or so." Well, I made the video and then posted it on Sunday, Feb 1st. It felt cathartic because I was SOOOO over the corporate world. I was hoping there was someone else there that could resonate with that feeling, and I wanted to document my life as I went through this transition of going into full retirement. I was hoping for about 50-100 views on the video because I heard hardly anyone sees your first 10 videos, which I was okay with because I figured it would give me time to get used to being on camera. I posted a 2nd video a few days later. I truly never expected the channel to grow sooo fast as it did, because by Friday I had met the monetization requirements. It took another week to actually get approved! It's been a bit overwhelming but in a good way! I'm so excited to be here. I still have a lot to learn. I say all of that not to brag but to say, JUST POST THE DANG THING! 🤗🤗🤗 Do it scared, do it messy, but just do it! because your future self will thank you! ❤️❤️

You're invited to Coffee hour where we just hang out and talk about YouTube, no agenda! See the Calendar for what your time zone is, but for quick reference, it is my time zone NZT 7:00 Monday 23 February for 1 hour. I'd love to see you there, even if you can't stay the whole hour. (If no one comes on I'll stay on and wait for 15 minutes from the start time then I'll revert to doing other YouTubery stuff while I'm already at my computer and before I start work😄) I've scheduled this same time every week for the next 4 weeks. If you've got a time that would really fit with you, tell me and we'll see if we can do more at that time, too😁

Just saw this when I was uploading my video tonight so thought I would give it a whirl! My video is scheduled for tomorrow and I have no idea how it is going to look....... Have you seen this or tried it?
