I know I'm younger than most people making videos but I think I have some good ideas that I could show people and I would love to show my ideas, but am I too young?? I'm 12 but I'm 13 soon? I'm just not sure it people would listen to me when I tell them how they could do something? and if you think its a good idea then some cameras that I could use?? thanks x
If you want to, then by all means, do whatever you want. But because you are only 12 (okay, almost 13, haha), you may have trouble finding an audience. (I'm not sure how many 12 year olds are on YT) But you never know how things work out until you try something.
Be careful, i've seen some really nasty stuff on there if you can still smile, and keep your head up then do it.. if you're a super sensitive person I'd tell you no. I have a friend on there, and they talk so much crap on her youtube videos it's awful. Good luck, in whatever you decide to do hun.
first, there is a lot of competition. you have to be willing to wait it out. sometimes it gets really frustrating seeing people get thousands of views and yours get a hundred or less.
there are haters, but if you are strong and confident then you should be fine!
have fun and be yourself, honestly what sets gurus apart is their personality. anyone can make a smokey eye tutorial but how they act and there talent is what makes me subscribe or not.
Just do it! You won't know unless you try. My daughter is 13 and she searches endlessly for girls her age doing make-up tutorials...she says the YT's that I watch are for "old people".lol. So my missy will definitely watch you. Let us know what you decide to do so we can support you. :)
