Hey everyone, welcome to my channel, I'm Mey :)
In today’s video we are talking about starting a Youtube channel in 2025 !
More specifically - 13 lessons that I have learned about Youtube success during my 4 years doing Youtube full time.
This relates to getting monetized on Youtube (which I did after 3 months), as well as the Youtube algorithm, BUT also- how to start, what gear you need to start a Youtube channel, how to preserve your mental health on Youtube, and how to truly build a community around your Youtube channel! (also, this video is weirdly personal, and contains some out-takes, or behind the scenes footage, of the reality of filming).

I started this channel in January of 2021 to share my knowledge of selling digital downloads on Etsy, or any other platform, as well as my experience with Print on demand. I do my best to bring you the most relevant content about selling print on demand and printables, creating interesting print on demand designs, testing myself print on demand products and their quality, as well as provide you with marketing tutorials, and so much more! I recommend many services and websites in my videos, some may contain affiliate links- which means that you can have a discounted price, or the same price, while I earn a bit of a commission for the referral- to help support this channel and the costs of producing the videos.
