The Secret to YouTube Success That You Need To Know with Raven Elyse

Success is something we all want to achieve but it’s not always easy to come by. You’ve probably heard many YouTube content creators talk about their stories, how they first started their channels, how they struggled, and how they eventually gained thousands of subscribers to finally achieve YouTube success. However, when you look at the sheer number of YouTube channels out there, you can definitely say not everyone becomes successful.  So, what is the secret to YouTube success? "YouTube was my guilty pleasure." Luckily, the gorgeous and adorable Raven Elyse from Austin, Texas is sharing her own secret to YouTube success! "Always, real-life experience is better than reading anything in a book." Known for her transparency and her slightly sarcastic sense of humor, Raven often describes her life as #shambles. She first started posting DIY, hair, and makeup YouTube videos just for fun back when she was only a freshman in high school. By the time she graduated from college in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design, she was already a full-time media influencer. Her channel has grown consistently over time and she recently reached over 1 million subscribers and 95 million video views! "I naturally came up and grew as YouTube grew." How she did do it? What is the secret? Well, the secret is this: Being truly passionate about YouTube itself and not doing it for the money, fame, or views.
