what's new at the VidProMom HQ? hey what's up it's Meredith here and I have
been so lax will say let's not lazy I've been so lax about creating videos
on the VidProMom YouTube channel so far this year and it it doesn't
feel good! it doesn't feel good to not show up here I just have been busy with
this business that I created actually got a notification from YouTube at the
end of April that said hey congratulations you gained nine hundred
and three new subscribers during the month of April keep up the good work
and I was like I only uploaded one video in the month of April! Quick backstory...
back in 2015 I started publishing videos and blog posts every week kind of made a
pact with myself that I was gonna do it every week I was gonna publish a video
every week whether I had something prepared or not and there were some
weeks where I didn't really have any real content prepared I did one from the
inside of my refrigerator... "one time hey this is Meredith the and I'm the GoPro
mom and you're probably wondering what the heck we're doing in my refrigerator
right now the truth is I don't have any decent content to post this week yeah so
hi welcome to my fridge..."
fast-forward now four years later and if I don't have a video prepared for my
channel then I don't publish a video and so sometimes there's been like two three
weeks or a month between publishing videos and I really miss it if you
didn't know I have a blog over at vidpromom.com, I have this YouTube channel
and part of my business is blogging and creating videos here on
YouTube that um generate income through ads and affiliate marketing and things
like that. I've been focusing pretty heavily this year on another kind of
part of my business where I'm helping bloggers get started with YouTube and
helping bloggers reach a wider audience with YouTube so they can increase the
profitability of their blog I found that I enjoy doing that side of the business
so much that it's sort of prevented me from doing that exact thing myself which
sounds... I realize how weird that sound the plus side of that is that my youtube
channel continues to grow whether I upload videos or not I'm sort of like in
that place in the life cycle of a YouTube channel where I want to know
what you want to hear from me about what do you want to learn what do you want me
to talk about I do every once in a while I get questions for people saying are
you ever gonna create another GoPro video or a GoPro tutorial and the answer
that question is "maybe" what I really enjoy myself personally what I really
really enjoy is helping other content creators bloggers youtubers and so forth
um reach a wider audience with video content in YouTube I really enjoy that
because when I started this channel in the mid from on blog I was sitting at a
desk at a full-time job thinking I have all these skills to build my own
business by hearing I'm building somebody else's business now that I'm
here now that I've created it I feel like I need to go back and grab all
those people that are out there full-time jobs right now come with me
come this way let me show you the way I don't know if that even makes any sense
but that's kind of where I'm at and that's the the turn that my business has
taken over the last year or so and so this year I've been really
focused on on helping my one-on-one clients I have you know I work with
bloggers who want to start a YouTube channel and actually you know create
videos that people find and watch encroach annal so that's what's up with
vid pro mom these days one thing that I will be doing this summer is I've always
wanted to start a business with my kids which probably sounds totally insane but
I really enjoy the business of content creation blogging creating YouTube
videos and so forth and the beauty of that is it's something that you know
anybody can do no matter their age and so my oldest daughter and I have an idea
kind of cooking it's not kind of cooking it's actually cooking I already bought
the domain name so it'll be a blog and a YouTube channel and I don't know if
that's something that I should share here on my youtube channel or maybe on
my podcasts you know what is it like to start a blog from the very beginning
that's actually profitable and since we haven't started it yet who knows if it's
even gonna be profitable so that's an interesting angle two things please let
me know down in the comments if you have watched this far what do you want to
hear from me here you want how-to videos do you want tutorials you want me to
take you along for the ride of starting a blog on a youtube channel from scratch
with your kids my husband thinks I should do car reviews all of the options
are open at this point but thanks for being here thanks for watching I will
chat with you in the comments
