I’ve been wanting to start (and have started, and quit) a blog and/or a YouTube channel for a very long time now. I want to do it because I enjoy the creative process. I love designing the pages and taking photos to go with the article. I love watching YouTube vids and it sounds like a lot of fun to shoot and edit them. I would love for it to become a popular website and channel with popular social media accounts to with it. Hell, maybe I can even earn some passive pocket money with it.
Yet every single time I think of a topic or a niche that could work I either tend to limit myself and lose interest or what happens more often, I lose confidence. Why would anyone even watch or read what I have to say? And when they do, they will surely wonder what I’m doing and judge me?
But, Oh. My. God. I’m so done with this mindset.
In my daily life I don’t care nearly as much what people think of me. I wear what I like, I have tattoos, piercings, opinions about things (the nerve!) and go about my day just fine and dandy. Sure, I get insecure about stuff, but why does this hold me back so much? To be fair, I’m not waiting around to find out. I’m doing it scared. I’m stepping out of my comfortzone. This year I’ll be turning 40 and call it an early midlife crisis but I’m starting the channel and writing the blog (this is it, you’re reading it right now, I did it! 💪).
I will not be limiting my topics either. I have too many interests and hobbies and things I obsess about, only for them to fizzle out again or go on the backburner for a while, to limit what I should write about. From a marketing/niching down perspective, this is a bad idea, I know, but it’s one of the tings that keeps me from being consistent so it’s another belief that has to go.
For now these are the topics I’ll be v/blogging about so come join me if you’re interested in city life, veganism, losing weight, gaining muscle (hopefully?), my newfound curly girl routine, dopamine decor (this has completely taken over my thoughts at the mo), (moving into) a small appartement, big mugs filled with coffee, playing Magic the Gathering and personal vlogs, all interspersed with a healthy dose of nerdy stuff and cat pics.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading and see you on the flip side!
