What Blogger Taught me about YouTube

Patience. I have a blog that I've been working on since about 2011ish...the backstory? I was living in an apartment with a cousin who drove me crazy while I battled the depression that came with being in a city I hated, at a college I did not want to be at, things weren't going will with my friends, I had lost my independence and on top of all that MY COUSIN WAS DRIVING ME INSANE! Writing was always an outlet for me, I can sit around and write for hours and thus Bitchology 101 was born! The very first bitch I wrote about was a Frankenstein of my cousin and my "friends" through frustrated eyes. Of course I graduated college, moved back into my mother's house (last place in the world I ever want to be!), life happened and I got too busy for the blog. I did not check it again until 2014 when I went to college and my mind was blown by how popular it became (around the same time one of my Sims stories had blown up in Japan)...what did I do about this? Write an ent...

Community or Nah?

You may be asking "Kaje, what do you mean by community?" Well, a community (or team) is a group of people who are all trying to grow their channels. It requires mutual support, that is, you should at least watch and leave a like on other community members' videos. If these members use Twitter or Tumblr, you should retweet or (Tumblr's equivalent) of posts with their latest videos. "Are you saying that I should join a community?" Nope. I'm saying to each his own.  Every community is different and every person's experience will be different. Personally, I'm an introvert with terrible social skills (but I'm really good at faking otherwise). I decided that I would try out this community thing because why not? I found 13 reasons why to not....okay, not really but I could not pass up the opportunity to say that. Disclaimer: I'm in a pretty good community with a lot of awesome people, however, like everything in life there are pros a...

The Noob

"Hey everyone, Kaje here and I am failing at life!" Yeah. That's how I started my very first YouTube video on December 29th, 2016, the day after my 26th birthday.  This was not my first attempt at YouTube either. The very first attempt was a flop! I tried makeup tutorials because that is what I was in to at the time and it was awesome watching my favorite MUAs like Tatyana Ward aka BeatFaceHoney and QueenOfBlending pump out video after video while I tried (and failed) to recreate their looks. Years later I'm not a pro but I can blend like a champ!  Gaming on the other hand was something I was always passionate about and I could lose hours watching people play video games be it their favorites, new games or my favorite games (always The Sims!!!). I was sitting in my little room in an apartment I shared with a friend, it was the last few months of my second college adventure and I had all these plans! I would move to Canada with my cousin and while I wai...
