One Year On YouTube | What We've Learned After 1,500 Subscribers
One year ago, we uploaded our very first travel vlog. Fast forward 12 months and somehow more than 1,500 of you have decided to stick around and watch our adventures. Thank you. ❤️ In this video, we're taking a step away from cruises, Disney and travel for a moment to talk honestly about what our first year on YouTube has really been like. The good. The bad. And the occasionally downright ridiculous. From filming holidays and learning how to edit videos, to dealing with comments, sponsorship opportunities, subscriber growth and everything in between, we're sharing the lessons we've learned during our first 365 days as content creators. Whether you're thinking about starting a YouTube channel yourself or you've simply followed our journey over the last year, we hope you enjoy this look behind the scenes. In this video: 🎬 Why we started YouTube 📈 Growing to over 1,500 subscribers 🚢 The impact of our travel and cruise content 💬 Positive comments and online criticism 🤝 Working with brands and sponsorship opportunities 🎥 What we've learned about filming and editing ❤️ Why honesty will always be at the heart of our channel 🔮 Where we'd like the channel to go next Most importantly, thank you to everyone who has watched, commented, liked, subscribed or simply joined us for part of the journey. You've helped make our first year on YouTube far more successful than we ever expected. 📸 Instagram: @travelswithdaniandpaul 📸 Instagram: @adventurebydanielle 📧 TravelsWithDaniAndPaul@gmail.com 📧 AdventureByDanielle@gmail.com Chapters 00:00 One Year On YouTube 00:15 Why We Started The Channel 02:26 From Private Videos To Public Vlogs 03:01 How Our Videos Have Changed 04:37 Should You Start A YouTube Channel? 05:17 How Filming Has Changed Our Holidays 06:47 Filming Around Other People 07:35 Trips We Wish We'd Filmed 08:34 The Gear We Travel With 09:34 Reaching 1,500 Subscribers 10:12 The Challenge Of Chasing Views 10:53 The MSC Effect 11:43 Why We Will Always Be Honest 14:12 Brands, Sponsorships & Partnerships 16:08 The Good, The Bad & The Abusive 17:25 "Paul Looks Miserable" 18:11 The Comments About Danielle 19:17 Are We Different Off Camera? 20:42 The Mystery Dislike Spree 21:58 What's Next For The Channel? 22:38 The Role My Dad Played In This Journey 23:27 Where Do We Want To Be In A Year? 24:45 Thank You For An Amazing First Year
