What does it take to maintain a YouTube empire with 650k subscribers? For one, a whole lot of passion, and fashion, beauty and lifestyle YouTuber Belinda Selene has that in abundance. She also has a ton of other secrets to her success that she’s sharing on this episode. She’s breaking down how she built her empire and the entire process that helps her pump out hit after YouTube hit. If you’re ready to grow, tune in! “If you want to do it, you’ll find a way, and unless you do it you’ll never know what it can be.” When Belinda started on YouTube 7 years ago, it was her creative outlet. She was working 2 jobs and wanted a fun community where she can express her creative side. Over a few years of following her passion, she grew her channel up to 100k subscribers. At that point, she was working at a bank. She loved it and saw herself growing there, but a great opportunity came her way to work with a huge brand, Maybelline, and to travel to promote one of their products for 6 months. She had to make a decision, choose comfort and safety and let the opportunity slip away, or dive into the unknown and the unstable paycheck. With the encouragement of her husband to follow her dream, she made the leap. She became a full-time YouTuber 5 years ago on her honeymoon when she had 100k subscribers, now she has 640k subscribers! “It’s worth knowing what’s trending, but don’t copy what someone else is doing because then what is unique about you?” What strikes me about Belinda is that she’s so disciplined and passionate about her work. She plans everything and ensures that she has consistent success and growth on YouTube. Some of her videos take 7 hours to film… 7 hours! In this week’s episode, Belinda and I talk about her journey to 640k subscribers, we break down her insane work ethic and her production process, and how she picks topics and makes hits. Enjoy! “Me being scared when I jumped into YouTube full-time didn’t allow me to fail because I was going to MAKE SURE I made the right decision.” Check out the show notes Join the Zero to Influence Bootcamp waitlist Download your FREE guide: 6 Tools YouTubers Use to Get Thousands of Video Views Don't forget to join the Beauty and the Vlog Facebook group for collaborations, YouTube advice, support and more!
