    My channel started off barely getting any views for the first few months and then I changed the way I interacted with my audience and then I suddenly started getting thousands of views! For everyone thinking of starting a channel or is struggling to grow, keep working hard and make sure to stay consistent, you WILL get there, it's just a matter of how much effort you put into your videos. Stay safe everyone! 😌☺️😅

    Ben you did a review on the GVM lights and said you liked them, but you would mostly use them for background lights instead of "key lights"??? These are the lights I have and I really don't want to spend more for lights. I figure they could be okay to use to light a person, but i'm so new to lighting that I don't want to mess it up. Would doing the three point lighting help? What's the issue you found? Is it that it isn't diffused enough??? I'm just wondering what I can do to get the best performance and it really just feels like i'd be turning knobs at this point not knowing what im doing
