Last summer I told my husband about a crazy goal I had. I wanted to reach 1,000,000 YouTube video views by the end of the year. Matthew did some quick calculating for me and said he really thought it was achievable. I tried to create more content and focus on things that I felt like others would relate to and want to watch. If you have been following this blog for some time you know that I have been posting video reviews since the beginning, but I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone and start creating other content.
Sometimes it can be hard to put yourself or your (very southern) voice on camera. I am still surprised when I find comments or emails from readers who say they always wondered what I sounded like! Yes, I sound pretty much like a 5 year old girl {just ask my great aunt Carolyn}. To my surprise, you guys liked what I did {ok, maybe you were just trying to make me feel better and watched it out of pity}. Either way, I am happy to say that about 9 days short of my goal I am finally at the magical 1,000,000 YouTube video views! Even if it took an extra week longer than my original goal, I am still over the moon that I pretty much set a goal and achieved it {one that I thought was unreachable}.
Here’s one of my more popular hair tutorial videos. You may have already seen it, but I just crack up over my non-hairstyling-talk! Yikes! This is real life folks. Now, let me see if I can find 1 million brownies to celebrate!

Thank you Rosey! Yes, I was so thankful for my husband who told me it would be achievable and motivated me!
That is AWESOME. I asked Melinda if we have a YouTube channel and we do with only 109k views. Funny thing is I didn’t even know that we had one. Anyway congrats on the 1 million views. That is crazy you were able to hit that number.
109K is an awesome number!! You could totally reach 1 million by the end of the year!
Woot! A quadrillion congratulations to you and your ‘videogenic’ family, Felicia!
You are so sweet and supportive always. I’m so thankful to know you!
Aww, it’s easy to be supportive to someone so lovely and thoughtful! Best wishes for 1 million more in 2013!
