In this video I interview RissRose2 how to be consistent when life is crazy
build your influence outside of YouTube and pageantry right now
what's up the influence today I have a very special interview with the
RissRose2
thank you so much for having me of course thank you for coming over to my
house
hi I'm Marissa Castillo your Mrs. Nevada United States 2016
thank you so much for watching you guys know I
love you so much so my first question is yes because you've been in YouTube may be
longer than really most of YouTube can you tell us about what it was like
starting your YouTube channel what was your motivation and what your journey
was to today
um I originally started off as a makeup artist and I saw a video on youtube
you know a girl doing a smoky eye and working at mac at the time I was a
product specialist I you know did makeup application so I said you know what I
can do this
- so I did step by step I think back then it was only you could only do 10
minute videos nope nope
so I didn't know how to edit I had a really cheap camera and I all did put it
in front of our on top of some shoe boxes in front of a window
yeah and there I just went I put a little timer just did a quick little I
number and then that was it and then before you knew it
I mean people were like well how do you do this how do you do a cat i had to put
on lashes how do you do this that and the other
and I just started doing requests so that's that's how it was and now there's
tripods and DSLR in 1080p and all those other stuff when i think we all started
was really raw really raw
very organic absolutely and you know one thing that a lot of people might not
know is Judy my wife of it's judy time actually watched Marissa's videos as
inspiration in fact maybe she learned from you to do the videos in front of a
window
good lighting yeah and stack on a a pile of shoe boxes because i wasn't smart
enough to get a tripod that's um can you tell us about how YouTube has changed
and how you're I guess you two career YouTube experience has changed from then
well before we didn't make money yeah oh yeah we
there was no partner program back then not at all and i think within two months i was
asked to be a partner and that was really cool because then you had the ad
on the side of your video
and you know I you and I don't even think you made money really then you're
just kind of like a partner yeah and then you know I took a little hiatus and
then I came back and people were just making money like you know that's where
it was at and I just you know people started doing it for the money people
didn't really do it just because it was fun that's where your heart was but then
again you were able to be a single mom and stay home which is where it took me
and you know you just started connecting because YouTube just went
crazy right it was just all over the place and that's that's where you I mean
I learned how to fix my dishwasher from youtube youtube is awesome yeah it is
so some Marissa you know
Oh a lot of times we get questions about time management because a lot of people
working full time jobs they’re parents and you know it it can be a lot of work
especially for a beginner
yes when you first started you had a full-time job
yeah you're a single mom of twins which I know can be a handful right there and
you were still uploading videos very consistently growing your influence on
social media
can you give us a little advice for the viewers on you know what it took to do
that and any tips for them to have time management
I think my following they recognize that i made my daughter's my family a part of
the videos you know it's cool because now who watches my videos moms with their
kids yeah and they watch the kids grow up I mean they were five when i started
they were braiding my hair they're playing games in the back but you just
kind of act like they're not there and you do do the makeup tutorial you get it
done because that's what I love to do so if you kind of just make it a family
thing or you know let the kids put the makeup on you and make that a video make
it fun
so then they appreciate it and they see what mom's doing and then they just you
know they get kind of downward spiral like type of field yeah i think that no
matter how much is on your plate
if you literally cut timeout yeah and you make it you know make it a point
like am going to spend an hour doing a video and
maybe it won't get done or you won't be able to edit it but you feel that
accomplishment i think when you feel accomplished you
it motivates you to do more absolutely i mean that's kind of what feeds people's
motivation right like once you upload that video you liked Oh man I felt good
and you want that feeling and everytime and then obviously the response i love
what you said though about even though you had kids you just fit that taping
into your schedule as a mother right
I think that's a great point like just go with the flow of your life to
create your YouTube channel content right like people want this perfect like
type of video and what actually might have been perfect not just for you but
for other people is just do it the way that fits into your life
in fact because of that you probably were able to cut out time correct? right
yeah no absolutely I still don't get it when people have like candles in the
back like a nice stuff I'm like I don't got time for that that's it let's get my
laundry and I everything everybody knows the bra hanging on the doorknob
yeah but that was nothing sure because it's just it's real it's real and I
think that's what keeps a loyal following you don't have to have a
million subscribers
you just have to have your quality quality loyal followers and that's I
think that's what i have and i love them love them all
cool yeah i mean obviously it's been like it you can see it in the success of
your channels and that even with your busy schedule you were able to
accomplish what you have been able to accomplish
another thing that I'm really impressed with and maybe you don't really you know
talk about a lot is the fact that you can be able to move from platform the
platform on social media
all right because I'm always learning from you what the next best thing
in fact just yesterday you re talking about youtube capture with just three
years old and I didn't even know that being a youtuber
can you talk about the importance of social media and how it's helped you can
promote your content on YouTube
well it is a bit much when you start having snapchat Twitter and
instagram facebook like you it's a lot
that's why I'm glad that you can you know leak from Instagram to the daughter
to the facebook it's it's a lot easier and I'm very thankful for that
but if you're going to have a brand you need to be dedicated to it and and that
does include all of the social media outlets but it's also great to connect
like one-on-one and being on Twitter and answering you know just random little
questions ago
it makes that loyal following and they feel personal with you and you know
sometimes you are applying really
oh my gosh replied but that's just what keeps your connection and then you can
talk to them because we're all human being
maybe it's not just about beauty and makeup anymore it's like about sharing
accomplishments and being you know one-on-one and family so
yeah I just talked to somebody today who's a building their influence on Instagram
and just said you know when she you know response and she's got about three
thousand instagram followers and she's just starting her viewers of her
Instagram account really appreciated that response yeah because a lot of
people don't like you said I have to be dedicated
yeah I like if you want an audience that's going to trust you
that's going to want to follow you from platform to platform and like be
basically lifelong viewers like you had you have to have that engagement you do
yeah and people appreciate that when I go through my youtube comments and I
still comment they're like oh my gosh you actually reply and they that means
the world to me and I they're going to spend time to watch my videos and
comment on my videos I should give them the same respect and I think that it
goes a very long way
totally I mean I think that's why we're friends because you must have responded
to Judy right because you know there wasn't really another way other than
maybe twitter to get a hold of each other and that's when we met back in two
thousand nine
yeah and we were lucky enough to have lunch with Marissa back then
with another youtuber which we are still friends with till this day till this day
very close been so you know a lot of people when they first start YouTube or
like see youtubers I want to become a youtuber they think the success has to
happen on youtube and what I love about interviewing you right now is the fact
that you're finding success in something totally outside of social media right
which is being mrs. Nevada united states right
yes but can you tell us how being an influence or on youtube as well as
social media has if it has affected that and how you can use social media to help
you accomplish things outside of the internet
um I think that social like okay my family my YouTube social media family
right everybody's seen me pretty much grow up I have been through you know
drug through dirt single mom working hard pressed out all that and then as I
got older I just grew and i started accomplishing things I was independent i
was doing this that and the other
and then I found pageantry which I think that everybody has a stereotype of a
pageant girl but being now that I'm 33 years old
I'm married I'm established i wanted to change that stereotype so I wanted to
show my journey into pageant tree with my youtube family so it was like people
are like well like pageantry and what I thought it was you know
oh my gosh it you really are getting into the community you know I took the
kids to the Philippines two different times and you know we saw the rural
areas we saw it was like doing it without it was like two to be there and
feed you know the hungry and so I wanted to bring that back here and I take my
youtube and my social media my snapchat all that with me doing volunteer stuff
and and all of that so I I just don't I I appreciate having that loyal following
you and social media and i'm glad that i can take that because now i'm using
social media in a very positive light which a lot of people don't realize that
that is our tool like we can do so much with social media we have a purpose
yeah so cool and I think it's a perfect transition
to the next topic how your influence on social media obviously youtube as well
has influenced you to achieve a new goal being a life coach can you tell us about
that
and you know what you're doing with that right now and well I being a single mom
and whatnot i would get these emails or messages on youtube and you know women
would be like I'm a single mom - how do you do it I kind of turned into like a
Dear Abby
yeah so I didn't know really what to call myself maybe was I like a mentor
like a big sister
because i had you know women older than me thousands and you know are young
teens girls that are my daughter's age you know on social media only including
Judy including Judy yes and so when I wanted to figure out my platform for
pageantry
I just wanted to be a someone who empowered women empowering women setting
a good example being a role model and just really being a title holder that
set forth and did stuff for her community and just really you know
brought women up
yeah so I was like you know what I'm not going to go to school to like college or
anything but I found a couple certification classes where I because I
could become a life coach and was more or less just self-discovery
everybody has their own answers they just don't know how to get there so
setting goals even though they're just really small goals or big huge goals
yeah and you will if you don't mind we'll put a link to your life coach
enough right down in the info box so you can if your mother a young lady that
would like to get in contact
I'm even older ladies I'm and just anybody anybody i get a hold of marissa
will put that information down below
so we're going to go into something fun we call it the lightning
who we have to do lightning what does lightning look like to you physically
mine's like this coffee or tea coffee talking or texting talking
would you rather never use social media sites apps again or never watch another
movie or TV show
I I would never have a TV show i would rather not have to TV show that's like a
true you - yeah that is the only person you most trust with a secret
oh my sister if influencers could only watch one channel on rissrose2 one
video which one would it be
whoo that's a really good question
one of my vlog because they're fine last thing you grabbed out of the fridge
these drinks oh yeah that was easy
if you could only have one thing in a zombie apocalypse
what would it be a gun a gun
I'm right - totally I mean because they're coming after you
favorite YouTube channel right now I like Julie's world book or movie every
influencer should read the power of now by Eckhart Tolle
I've read it probably three times and on audiobook you know that a lot of people
flock to Los Angeles to New York because you know those are like the gathering
places for youtubers
I think that's one thing that you and Judy and myself to relate to we
didn't do that because this is where family was like this is where life was
can you tell us about what tips or advice you would have for people that
don't live in those places and how to make the most of it
that's actually a really good question um you know Vegas is so close to LA and
it's the entertainment capital of the world so there's so much here
mhm but when you actually start seeking out local businesses
yeah you can actually start like doing collaborations with them a little
boutiques little make-up places little mom-and-pop places you can see and you
know seek out other bloggers bloggers because I mean they're everywhere and
arguably it'd be much easier and it is a smaller city right or maybe a city
that's not LA or New York because influencers might not be as popular in
those areas right so it's a great example of how you can create
opportunities for yourself even more so then where everyone flocks to right your
I mean even hit me up
i'm always down for a collaboration or some type of something you know we always mail m each
other different things from oh yeah how do you like the split screen video or
you tag somebody we see always tag people or do like a reply
you know recreate somebody go big youtubers look
yeah and let them know hey i just really created your luck that that that's great
to bring more attention to where you are at
