about how to start a fashion
channel working with somebody else to
put out content and what to grab in a
zombie apocalypse right now
this video is brought to you in part by
vloggerfair.com welcome influencers
to another interview here on video
influencers helping build your influence
income and impact with online videos and
i'm here with Cassie and Richie of
the youtube channel Tothe9s fashion
lifestyle vloggers and youtubers thank
you so much for letting me interview you
guys your problem and first off you guys
have an amazing channel right 400,000
plus subscribers tons of views tons of
videos about fashion
can you tell us about how you guys got
into what you do and kind of the journey
to get where you're at now we started
after high school I'm specifically after
high school because we felt like we were
going to be judged
if we started during high school I don't
know yeah totally - talking on phone - yeah so we
always wanted to do something something
creative I was always into fashion she
was on always into media the editing
aspect so she does most of the editing
so we kind of like combined and merged
our to our passion and then just created
our channel tell me a little bit about
what you guys do today like kind of the
workflow kind of your vision and also
you know what ends up on your channel so
we mostly do lookbooks that's our big
thing that's what people really love to
see from us and lookbooks or styling
videos usually our outfit of the days to
like more cinematic visual experiences
the fashion and we also do a lot of
lifestyle videos like blogs and we do
beauty as well and yeah that's basically
so you guys are probably really familiar
with the fashion space right especially
the YouTube and social media
what are some of the biggest mistakes
people in your space are making more
people that want to get into your space
for making when it comes to fashion and
lifestyle you call blogging I think when
it comes to fashion it's relatively new
and there are a lot of times it can just
be like cinematics rather than it being
a personal experience and the biggest
mistake is the lack of engagement that I
see sometimes so what we make it a
really big priority to you know reply to
people's comments snapchat other people
and just be really interacted with your
audience you guys are fairly let young
right and you even mentioned it that
there's a fear of doing something like
this especially on youtube putting
yourself out there is there any advice
you have two people on following your
passion and doing this and do you wish
you started earlier
back then I feel like we're a little bit
shy we didn't really know exactly what
we were doing especially in high school
I went to pretty small high school so
everyone would probably know that I did
videos and when we went into college we
felt like there wasn't really a creative
aspect in our lives so being able to be
creative with one another and just share
our passion to the world essentially is
basically how we were able to grow
and you have been more confident with
ourselves yeah i think that if you
really want to do something just do it
you know like you wouldn’t be able to do
something on the internet or or youtube
if you don't I guess like take the
initiative to do it i think you should
yeah like what you said own it and just
put yourself out there and don't be
scared because chances are you can
relate to other people just like we
relate to other people so yeah and i
think that you know this thing judgment
is probably one of people's biggest
fears and you're gonna be judged
regardless if you do this or not right
in everyday life people just can't
comment about it right now having in the
hallway or you know necessarily like
your friends or family aren't
necessarily like judge you on facebook
the way like a YouTube commenter will
right so just do it just do it you guys there's
probably a lot of people watching that
might want to become a fashion blogger
what tips would each of you have for the
new fashion blogger if they're just
starting a channel today i think my tip
would be to get a tripod especially with
the lookbooks you're going to have to
have like a far point of view when
you're showing an outfit so get a tripod
and if possible get a partner because me
and richie work really well together
like we said she's more the fashion
aspect and I'm where the creative
editing and media aspect of their
channel so just being able to work
hand-in-hand and being able to film
ourselves our outfits ourselves is
really helpful because I know as like I
know like makeup artist they probably
just stick a camera
whereas when you're doing fashion it's
kind of easier to have like someone else
holding the camera for you so if you can
get a partner get a partner guys fashion
filming fashion videos are not easy
having to place the camera
and getting the right focus and stuff
and also motivating each other
yeah I feel like we push each other to
do bigger things you know like if i
didn't have her i probably would have
been no not been doing that yeah so yeah
being a Youtuber is kind of a lonely
business but if you have somebody
experienced it with you because
especially being in summer like
Vancouver were like the YouTube
community isn't as big which I bet a lot
of viewers out there can probably relate
to it like maybe not like Vancouver but
let's say you're in the middle of
nowhere you'd be surprised who else also
want to do this but maybe like you guys
said isn't willing to say that out loud
or start their YouTube channel but
together you can with that being said
you know this channel co-founded by Sean
candle myself right working with
somebody else to start a channel is
there any tips you would have for
somebody when it comes to working with
somebody else right because there's
probably been some challenges tell me
about that i think the i think the most
challenging aspect is really trying to
get our schedules to line up because
when you are filming with two people you
have to really fit the right time and
schedule in order to film that video so
I believe that's the only challenge
otherwise we work well we don't argue
or fight
I don't like a lot of our subscribers
asked us like you guys ever find jobs in
trouble so weird we never do I guess
because we have different personalities
and we kind of like work well with each
other we’re like sisters
yeah so I met her like nine years ago
and it's just going strong from there
okay that's awesome ok cool now for the
fun stuff lightning round time
ok what's the last thing you grabbed out
of the fridge orange you i don't
remember
orange juice orange juice we love orange juice
which would you rather give up watching
movies and TV for the rest your life or
being on social media for the rest of
your life
watching TV we have youtube we can, TV
is going to be gone in the next.. that's
usually the popular answer in a zombie
apocalypse what's the first thing you
grab or do
snapchat oh yeah I probably get my dad
to protect me
yeah smart answers both of them so
different but
so smart what is your guys
current favorite YouTube channel to
watch it'sJudy'slife
what? I wasn't expecting that what do you
want you to i do but I'm not like loyal
to any ok cool so you wanted those
youtubers you just like just create
videos and never watching everybody it’s me im obsess with
youtube I watch like everybody she
would be like you know this person
yeah last question is uh what movie book
or podcast would you recommend to other
bloggers book would be girlboss girlboss
yeah but i'm not sure what her name is
but she's the creator of yeah Sophia Amoruso
wow she's the creator of nasty gal which
is the e-commerce site which turned into
an actual store and just her story is
really amazing and inspiring
