Imperfections (Zalfie)

Zoe

I logged onto my blogspot account and started to scroll through the comments on my latest post. Many people seemed to like it, which made me happy. But there was one thing that kept popping up.

"Why don't you start a YouTube channel?"

Everyone was asking it. The same question repeated over and over.

I'd never really thought about it before. I'm really nervous on the internet, a blog is different to a YouTube channel. A lot different.

Would I be able to cope? What if people didn't like me? What if I got criticised and hated on? I'm insecure enough as it is.

But there was one corner of my brain that was telling me to go for it, to just try. Maybe people would like me? What have I got to loose?

I got up from my chair and went into the loft. I started rummaging through the boxes, looking for my old camera. It was just a little samsung camera, nothing too major. Maybe it could work?

I finally found it and took it back down to my room. I looked for somewhere to sit it and leaned it against some books.

I sat down on my bed and pressed record.

"Hello everyone" I shakily said to the camera whilst waving.

"So this is just an introduction video to my YouTube channel" I continued.

I finished recording my first ever video and copied it to my computer.

I already had a Google+ account so I just had to make a YouTube one.

I then stumbled across a box which I had to fill in;

'Channel name'

I pursed my lips, I'd never really thought of it before.

What should I call it?

Then a lightbulb went off in my head! I had a great name.
I typed it in and writing popped up on the screen;

'Welcome to YouTube Zoella280390'
