  1. Thank you for featuring us, and thank you for such a wonderful list! You gave me lots of blogs and Youtube channels to follow. We have a youtube channel too. Pretty new to be honest, but… 🙂

      2. Yeah, you’ll be fine. We’re all pretty clueless when we start out, and even now I can’t claim to be an expert! But as you produce more content and play about with things, the more you’ll figure out what works best for you. It’s a learning curve, but an interesting one. 🙂
