Viewers connect with real people. You do not need to act like someone else to grow on YouTube. People will follow you because they like your style, your voice, and your way of teaching or sharing.
Do not worry if you are not perfect. Being yourself is what makes your channel different from all the others. Some viewers may not like your style, and that is okay.
The right people will connect with you if you stay real. This is how you can make the same content as somebody else and still attract your own type of audience. No one else can be you. And you cannot be them.
Checklist to be yourself on camera:
- Talk the same way you talk in real life, but increase your energy, because cameras always make energy look lower than it feels
- Do not try to copy another creator’s personality
- Share your real stories and experiences
- Remember that your audience wants you, not a fake version
When you are yourself, you build trust. And trust keeps people coming back.
