My daily life as a mother

I am a mother of nine children. I was born Dutch and married a German. He was a widow with three children. We had six more, and two of our children got married. So far, this has added four grandchildren to our family. So, I'm a young grandmother as well. Six of the childre…

I thin, I'm quite weird on video (being my authentic self): My voice when I get into 'teaching mode', my movements when I move my head weirdly or think and look up too often, my speed when I'm slow talking (my German still isn't as my Dutch, even though Germans don't notice that I'm not German which is cool. But I definitely think my video would be better if one would listen to me on 1,25 speed!), and probably many other reasons.

Celebrating YT progress 7:19
Inspiring examples of progress... part 1!

Share your experiences of YT "success" thus far... however you define it, whatever is motivating you! As I see your comments below, I'll add some of them here as examples...  Jill B -- "I’ve hit 1.1K views on my channel overall since the start of this program!" Simon Berkowitz -- 2k views within 5 days of uploading this video Mara Clear Spring Cook -- "I have 14 vids up now, and spontaneous positive feedback, and I even received a client booking."  Shoubhik Purkayastha: 1st video: 637 views in 33 days + tons of Heart-wrenching comments/ emails/ texts -- powerful healing in me (Unanticipated - seeing the healing in others)... 2nd video: 127 views in 5 days --> massively SURPRISED at the deep connection.. and how they are watching multiple times to go deeper.  See other examples from your fellow classmates in the comments below!  Not from this course but other examples I discovered recently: Erin Foley career coach (gets most of her many client inquiries) from this one unedited video from years ago Old mans advice -- 25 million views of this unedited video If you don't see comments below, or don't have the ability to comment, you need to be logged into this course.

It's going well. MUCH better than I'd ever have thought or imagined. From zero to 170 subscribers, views around 100-200, and my 4th video went viral!!! I didn't make it to do that 😅🙈 and had to deal with being visible. 

Video lighting 4:09
☀️ Lighting? Make sure your face is clearly seen... don't be backlit.

Soft natural daylight is best – I face a large window in my office which is where I make most of my videos. The main point is to try not to have your face in the dark. When natural light is not possible, I recommend an Umbrella Lighting Kit (approx $40) -- that single lighting kit will suffice for home video recording.  Here is an example and another example using this lighting kit. Alternative: a softbox lighting kit. You do need about 2.5 feet (0.75 meters) of clearance for this lighting kit, placed behind the camera, facing you. The key is: don't be backlit.

@George Kao , how is it dark in your background without bringing down the quality? When I have daylight in front of me, the room is lit. When I have a lamp in front of me and the room is dark, my face isn't as clear as yours. Were you filming in the dark and your light is just better?
Can you change your YT handle or username? 1:55
Can you change your YT handle or username?

Yes, change it here. However, be sure to also update everywhere you've mentioned or linked to that YT URL. Maybe google your YT URL and see where it's been mentioned.


YB
Do I understand well, you explained this differently in the account set up, and we can change it right away?

YB
Hearing this, it's the absolute first time I'm starting to consider a newsletter!

I love your different perspectives and ways of things!

Including considering taking this course this year 😊. But I don't feel any hurry off starting a newsletter so far 😁
