In this video interview Bubz of Bubzbeauty about building confidence in
front of the camera and talk about dealing with hate and negativity on
YouTube right now
what's up influencers i'm here with bubzbeauty actually know her as Lindy
welcome to another episode of video influencers where we bring you content
we bring you interviews and we help you build your influence income and impact
with online videos thank you so much Lindy
thank you for having me happy to be here and if you guys don't know I actually
call her the og of YouTube because my wife Judy and I have known her since
2009 you're like the original like literally the original Beauty enthusiasm
beauty guru no Judy and I were in the same time
yeah but you know that we I know that Judy really looked up to you because
you've accomplished so much i mean like just it right off some numbers a little
less than 3 million subscribers on her channel I mean I can't even count how
many hundreds of millions of views but I think more importantly the fact that
you've been in youtube for so long
third of my life yeah almost that sounds insane actually yeah can you kind of
just share with people that might not know you a little bit about what you do
on your beauty channel as well as your daily blog or your family vlog
yeah so I started out making a beauty tutorials and 2008 and you know for me
beauty is not just make up it’s also about hair nails how you feel about yourself
inspirational vlogs and they recently thanks to the inspiration of these guys
we vlog a lot more and I call it little daily doses of happiness
yes and they are with little Isaac super cute
put a smile on your face any time of the day so what I want to talk about
especially with our viewers because there's a lot of people that don't have
a channel yet right
and one of the number one fears is this fear of the camera and building
confidence
do you have any anything you want to share with the audience about when you
first started because you know you know back then it wasn't like very popular to
start a YouTube channel now it's like a lot more accepted but even back then I
don't know how was where you grew up but it was like it was kind of weird right
so can you share with us how you started and any tips for people
ok so for me back then it was like the the webcam days ok so I was like I
was staring at myself I wasn't staring at the camera while staring at myself
it was awkward right and anybody could agree because you've never spoken in
front of a camera like this on for size of course you're gonna be awkward and
like rigid and stiff but the more you do it actually the more comfortable you are
and I really feel like after eight years my speech has definitely improved and I
have youtube a lot to thank for and in fact the person that I am today
I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't because of you - yeah yeah and
i think you know one of the things I'm pulling out of that is just do it
because the more you film the more videos you create the more comfortable
you get and the more confidence you will build now another thing that i know that
you know you've got great advice on is this
this fear of the camera can actually go deeper and its really a fear of judgment
right
fear of hate and negativity and I know that's what turns people nervous these
days right especially with what we know happens in the commentary can you share
any advice you have on that
well I remember when I first got my hate comment that ok I've never cried from he
comment before but i know a lot of my YouTube friends who have and I can
completely understand
I feel like everybody deals with it differently
but I can't deny that made me feel crappy about myself
um well what can I say I my advice is that if you want to make youtube videos
you're just gonna have to accept that
ok whether you're a good person a genuine friendly
there are still going to be people who won't like you you know
juiciest sweetest peach and there'll be people who will like peaches but i
always say like you can really use it to your own favor when it comes to hate you
know when you put yourself out there you know you get vulnerable you know
anything it's okay
and because you're exposed to like the mean- comment on by using my favorite
because I couldn't let those comments destroyed me and defeated me but it's
really helped me grow a thicker skin
you know I feel like for a lot of my YouTube friends yeah it’s make them
feel quite bad about themselves sometimes they feel really crappy and
maybe some good a plastic surgery and it's ok if that makes you feel better about
yourself that's ok but I feel so comfortable in my own skin and if it
wasn't for youtube it would never happen like absolutely like I think what
happens on youtube is just an extreme version of what happens in real life we
were talking about this earlier whether
you put up a video or not people are going to judge you like people are going
to think negative things of you and you're gonna have hate whether you know
it or not it's just on youtube
the comments you know they they come up front and they can save face
they don't have to you know say in front of you you'll never be found out
Kandee Johnson says another thing too about you know she responds to
some of this negativity and how many times like literally ninety percent of
the times
those people are just going through a hard day and literally apologized at all
I didn't realize you would even say anything any thoughts on that
definitely what I learned as people who hurt are usually people here hurt
themselves and i remember back then I used to be internet roll by the way you
guys don't know this but basically chat rooms just troll people
oh yeah i know but i was just this really deeply insecure girl and you know
I was bullied in school on the only way i could be someone else but then was
just
just attack other people and I thought it was really cool but I wasn't
what I'm saying is I understand just how it feels to be bitter and resentful
and it's not something that I would want to put upon my girls so sometimes you
just gotta realize and just have a bit of compassion that ok this person
maybe they're just not having a great day and maybe depending on you or deep
inside they're just really not happy you know
yeah well thank you so much for sharing that story because i actually think more
people can relate to that then most people talk about so that that's amazing
that you can share that and I think a lot of people would actually even more
so understand why people are leaving those comments right and it would be a
shame and i'm sure you can agree with this
if people let that stop them from being the best version of themselves right
whether its beauty whether its food whether it's just vlogging to literally
not put out to the world what it is you're passionate about because you're
worried about what somebody thinks or what somebody's going to say so bubz
because you've not only started one channel but two channels and have been
in this for so long
do you have any wisdom you'd like to share with somebody that wants to start
a YouTube channel right now you gotta do it because you love it as my good friend
says Ken he says make videos as if no one is watching I feel like these days
people just want to you know people say it all one day I want to be like an
internet vloggers or like internet superstar but you know you just got that
passion Drive you know uhm I don't take it too seriously like enjoy it and it's
all about learning and experience
mm okay lightning round Shh
I see more like oh well that
let's put some graphics on that do that again that is going to be amazing I feel
like some like a Jedi stuff right there
if you had to give up one thing would you give up watching movies for the rest
of your life or using social media for the rest of your life
you cruel i can imagine that world movies last thing that you remember grabbing
out of your fridge at home think it was a daringly lunchable snack
you know these days when you're always on the go as a parent yeah I know
that you're hungry i have three girls no choice but to just steal their snack and
then and indulgence in fact i love stealing their gummy bears
that's my favorite snack to steal we won't tell Judy that coffee or tea
mmm it’s so british tea all the way what's your favorite social media app at the moment
instagram i'm just a very visual person may be looking at
see what people are doing and I can connect a problem for me snapchat I find
that interaction
you know isn’t quite there yeah i know it is the thing and I like I would go
and just use the filter really yeah
last song you had on repeat on your ipod or computer
you know I don't even listen to using any more every day it's just nursery
rhymes
oh yeah you're right what's the last nursery rhymes that's been stuck in your head
the wheels of the bus go round and round all the damn day
so thank you so much first off for being here and you know spending some time
letting us interview you
I just have one question how do you get inspired to record videos uhm well I
always say the best thing about what I'm doing about YouTube is I've been doing
this for over seven years and i'm still learning that for me is the most
important thing just being able to be inspired and inspiring others with this
purpose
yeah i'm yeah yeah but it made no that's you are inspiring i know you do a lot of
charitable work pencils of a promise right so that's why we asked you that because
