In this video, I sit down with Izzy Sealey, a YouTuber with 500k subscribers, to talk about her journey on YouTube and what advice she would give to someone just getting started today. There's so much I wish I'd known when I started YouTube myself, and Izzy captures a lot of that advice in this video, so I think you'll get value from it. Enjoy!

This was great fun to film! 😊 Thanks for having me on the channel (and for exposing all my deepest fears about YouTube !! 😂👀)
-
I have been following Ali's journey for 3-4 years. After watching Ali's all videos about starting a YouTube channel, I decided to try it in July 2023. In about 7 months, I have published more than 50 videos and now have more than 10K subscribers. As a professor at a university, I can teach at most 150 students every year, but thanks to my YouTube channel, I now feel like I have more than 10K students. The size of the impact I create is unbelievable. Thank you Ali!
-
Great video! I've been experimenting with something similar, especially with my video descriptions and captions. Recently started using boost app social and it's kinda like having a creative partner. Makes brainstorming and creating engaging content so much easier.
-
"What feels like a ramble to you can genuinely be life-changing advice to someone" This someone, is me. Thank you so much Izzy for your vulnerability, and Ali for using your platform to share her success story!
-
I struggle with self-consciousness and will sometimes avoid sharing my YouTube videos on some of my platforms because I suddenly feel like I am "bothering" people or "I am not good enough to do this" or "I will be judged" so it's refreshing to see that other YouTubers struggle with similar issues and even more refreshing to see how they have managed to overcome them to a great extent. Thanks for the video!
-
Just started and posted my first podcast today, finally had the courage to take a step,wish me luck guys .
-
As someone currently having 7 Subscribers, I can say this thumbnail is very relatable
-
To all the creators I wish you all become successful in YouTube ❤
-
This is so beautiful to see. Thank you both for sharing your journeys with us. You may not know how far it reaches, but you guys sharing your struggles with us is really humbling, and also so inspiring
-
I don't understand people who write mean messages on people's youtube videos or other social media postings. If I don't like something, I prefer to say nothing. I prefer to spread kindness instead of negativity.
-
This video was much needed! I started my YouTube channel 3 months ago but had to stop posting for a month due to my busy schedule as a full time college student. I am so glad that this video has given me a new perspective to get back into editing and posting again. Thank you Ali and Izzy 😊💕
-
It is reassuring to hear that you guys still have YouTube struggles even after all the success. Your channel was one of the reasons that I finally started on my channel. Thanks for the content!
-
I've just started my YT journey and this has been really inspirational to listen to and know that even super successful YTbrs are having the same struggles. Great work!
-
I remember watching some of his older videos almost 5-6 years talking about how he uses his IPad for journaling. Now I’ve started my first YouTube channel I’m watching him again. It’s a nice coincidence.
-
I’m growing from 0. Started from the bottom, now I’m here. Doctors and nurses gain subscribers super fast. Great video!
-
I have 414 subscribers.... And i am med student i know it's embarrassing around friends and very hard in the beginning.. I am going through it... I hope everyone succeeds in their journey ❤❤❤
-
Izzy is so sweet! I loved watching this and I’m glad posting every 2-3 weeks could still get me the growth I want on YouTube
-
I actually started a YouTube channel last month thanks to hearing Ali talk about it, just going for it, and it's still super new but already seeing better results than I had expected so this is definitely a great encouragement forward <3
-
From Bangladesh here,🇧🇩🇧🇩 Ali you have been a lifechanger for me. I started writing online thanks to you and today I have grown a freelance business that makes me $1500-$2000 per month. You were my inspiration because you were also a med student and I loved your study related videos. Now I plan to grow my youtube channel as well. I' m sharing the things that I learned in the last 5 years in my freelance journey. Looking forward to making videos like you as well. Wish me luck! <3
