Be shooting this one the one that I'm Brainstorming right now and then maybe Another one so I wanted to show you Exactly what is going on typical before I get any further though I honestly I Have to sound Griffin here because if I Am editing and my audio is just crap I'm Gonna be not too happy okay We're also gonna close this one though Because but you're just gonna hear Insects bugs the whole entire time so I Have got my notepad ready here I do Actually already have a youtube video Talking about how I outline my blog post Or not my blog post my youtube videos Talking about exactly how I shoot my YouTube videos edit my YouTube videos I Mean I've got a lot of YouTube video Related content on here so if you want To learn more about this process Definitely go check out the other videos That I have I will include some and Their description bar down below but Right now for the YouTube video that I'm Going to shoot today I have to figure Out everything that I use to run my blog To run my YouTube channel to run my Instagram account and I'm not going to Do the Equipment that I use because honestly I Just have so much equipment when it Comes to of my computer all of this Stuff that I use for YouTube with my Lights my camera and my tripod I have
Got a lot of equipment so I'm just going To talk about the resources and tools That I use as well as the platforms and Stuff that I use this is going to be a Lot I changed my mind I changed my mind I haven't even gotten that far but I'm Just going to do the tools and resources For my blog and then I think I am going To end up doing the tools and resources For my youtube channel in another video If you guys would like to see that video Let me know in the comment section down Below and I'll make sure that I create That for you guys Perceive it this is really really blown Out let us fix that okay so I mapped out Everything that I use for my website Which is a lot is that even focused on Me now we're really really struggling Here oh wait go back Focus we're good so I mapped out Everything that I use for my blog which Is a decent amount and I'm going to film This video but I don't think that I'm Going to do it today I think the one That I'm going to film today um okay so I am currently doing a QA on my Instagram stories and I'm just answering Your guys's personal questions and That's really how this YouTube video Came up last night I was watching a YouTube video by JC Maria and she shared An influencers day in her life and I Just thought that it was so good it was
So raw it was so real I'm sorry that the Lighting's changing typically in a Youtube video I would wait for the Lighting to be perfect I'm not going to Wait in this video or maybe she's doing Awfully yeah so I ended up watching that YouTube video and it was just so good Seeing them behind the scenes of how she Creates her content and she shared her Mistakes that she made on her Instagram Stories and having to rerecord it and All the work that goes into Hawaii That goes into the Instagram stories as Well as the content she creates she Shared that she did five photo shoots in One day to get content for Instagram and I just wanted to be a bit more real on a Bit more transparent about what goes on Behind the scene That you guys don't see to create the Content that I create so I hunt you guys Ask me questions on Instagram asking me Just anything I want to be even more Transparent than I already and with you Guys about my life about my job about Work blogging YouTube all of that stuff So you guys asked me some really great Questions and I'm actually doing a Q&A Today answering those questions but I Ended up getting one freaking killer Question that hit me in my gut and I was Like I have to film a YouTube video on This because it's just such a good topic That I think just needs to be addressed
So I mapped out my ideas and I actually Took three questions that came in from The QA one was a direct message two were Ones that were entered in the QA and I'm Going to create a video about the Struggles of vlogging the truth of Vlogging maybe even the dark side of Vlogging and just talk about some real Things so I think that's what I'm going To do today but I have to get ready so That I look nicer for my YouTube video Because this this just ain't it hello I'm back quick little update the hair is Done so I have been French braiding my Hair recently on dates that I wash my Hair because then it makes it so much Easier to get the curls that I'd like And tomorrow I actually have my Engagement photo shoot so I want to make Sure that my hair looks really nice Tomorrow so hair is braided put on the Tiniest little bit of makeup and a blog Post of mine just went live 20 minutes Ago I actually scheduled it two or three Days ago to go live so it just went live And typically I would promote it on my Instagram stories but today's Instagram Stories are totally dedicated to the Q&A So I do not want to mess it up by Talking about this below closed and I am Gonna actually fill my stories tomorrow We've talking about the concept and what I talked about in that blog post and Then a little call-to-action to lead to
