Vancouver Island Time Podcast with Jane Johnston and Sue Ferreira - Duration: 34:32.

Wondering what life is really like on Canada's wild and crazy West Coast? This

podcast is all about the people, the places, and Vancouver Island Time

together we'll explore this island paradise a combination of Ocean City and

Country Living we'll meet the fabulous locals such as

the fudge fairy and the chicken lady who have chosen Victoria and Vancouver

Island as their home and will learn what makes this place unique and special to

those who live here and now your host of Vancouver Island time Jane Johnston hi

everybody its Jane Johnson from Vancouver Island time I'm here with Sue

Ferrara who's an amazing person you'll find out today so sue is gonna

talk to us about living in Vik West which is just southwest of downtown

Victoria it's an amazing place it's pretty much undiscovered I find and then

we're gonna be talking to her about what she does she's an incredible woman she

has an incredible history that I think I want to share with you today she is

somebody you want to know so sue tell us about living in Vik West I love it

what else can I say Vik West is as you said it's the Forgotten jewel of

Victoria and I've been in Victoria now about 12 years and you know for longtime

Victorians they'll know that oh you don't want to live in Vic

you know let's trouble in West but there are always areas that are undergoing a

transformation and there's no doubt Vic West is one of those areas that's doing

a transformation why do I love it well just outside my window here is the inner

harbor I mean if I could spit well I could spit into the inner harbor I don't

spit that well so you know I've got the water close by and and I have I have my

daughter and her husband staying with me right now and so this morning my

daughter just says oh there's an eagle outside here on the tree and there you

are the Eagles there and the herons there

and the seals are there and I can just in my living room and watch them all so

it's pretty cool place and it is on the up and up and it's just a very nice

community the other reason I bought here in Vic West

is I'm getting older when did you buy here I bought in Vik West in 2006 2006

and I had a place downtown before that but so yes so I've been in this

apartment 12 years and it's just perfect for me I said look I'm getting older I

don't want hills I want shopping center close by that I

can walk - I want a bus that will take me downtown I want to be able to walk

downtown and I have all of those I have the West stone walkway right below my

apartment so it takes me 25 30 minutes to walk downtown and it takes me 15

minutes to walk to the stores and I'm as happy as a clam here you know I think

I'm going out feet first

it's my plan anyway as long as I can still get up six steps I can stay here

what I can't do six steps so I'll have to think about something else but it's a

great place to live and it's it's a it's a great community I got a lot of friends

here and I I can't say enough about it yeah I recently had a listing around the

corner actually yeah on Robert Street and yeah and so the woman who was

selling it she bought it for 425 last year and we sold it for 525 this year

literally you walked out of her complex and looked down the street and the

oceans right there and I think in any other city that would be totally

incredible I'll be honest I think this area and my a particular apartment block

is the biggest forgotten secret in Victoria I mean the house prices the

apartment prices are going up very rapidly right now I mean I don't know

maybe you've discussed this in your other podcast but I I don't know I'll

ask you I I feel we're beginning to see the beginning of that phenomenon that's

been going on in Vancouver for twenty thirty years now where there's a move

here and Victoria's changing it's becoming much more dynamic and I think

house prices are going to continue to go up but certainly in this area they're

still ridiculously under priced compared with a lot of other places

I think yeah she's right on the ocean so that's why she's saying that but it's

true so that's why they just implemented a few different rules regarding yep I

saw that in the Benjy what was it yesterday day before yeah it's crazy so

it's 20 percent tax for foreign buyers right now if you're not going to live in

the place and if they also have a speculation tax if you're going to rent

out and have short-term rentals you're going to be have you're going to be

taxed more heavily on your property's property taxes so it's called a vacant

tax base as well relevant Vancouver it's probably not as relevant here right now

but it's probably going to be in the next little while yeah so one of my

clients bought a place for a million bucks and it's going to be completing

after this year and it's going to now cost her a million two and she wants to

live here but her plan isn't to move in right away so that's the price you have

to pay to live that's brand-new construction though in yeah my mind's

old I mean I mean one of the as I always say I actually crossed the railway lines

which no longer there's a train on so I say I live the wrong side of the tracks

just across the railway line turn left and and it does still have that feel but

there's everything is moving across the bridge and moving in this direction and

changing there will be big changes in this area in the next little while yeah

same with the squat which is where so we're sandwiched between ask why Malta

in downtown Victoria so there are a couple of cool places around here do you

ever go to Spinnaker's of course I got a spinnaker Spinnaker's is our local pub

and I go there quite frequently I mean you probably know Caroline Webster we

live equidistance from spinnaker so that's where we meet so yeah Spinnaker's

is is a great is a great pub and I think the other thing that is gorgeous here is

the ability to take walks I mean that the new campsite which is going up in

West Bay across across the harbour I look at that too that is that has I mean

it looks it looks really nice it's changed significantly I personally love

the float homes I was a I had a plan to buy one of those float

homes in West Bay that's a lovely corner of the of the harbor to you know that

whole West Bay I guess by then you're probably in a squat but I'm actually

right time the road but that's the end of it quest beyond me is this crime also

I really I cover you know pretty much both but there's a lot of neat things

here and and the downtown is so close so accessible and you can also take the

Little Harbor ferries which are really cute and you can just take it from West

Bay or spinnaker so and actually one time I went to take the ferry and I go I

I'm going in and I see this man who I know who's a lawyer who's retired and

that's what he's doing for his retirement he's driving around the

harbor which I think it's fabulous so those go to different stops around the

harbor yep they're very good you can you know depending on how busy they are you

can just call them up like a cap in fact some of them are painted like a yellow

cap or you can just go around the harbor and and you know again as I get older

that's really neat because I can walk downtown do my stuff and then I can get

the ferry back to West Bay there's just a couple hundred yards for me to walk

from the ferry back here so I love the ferries I saw them yesterday I didn't

think they were starting up yet but I love it because that means someone's

coming even though it's snowing outside it means summer is coming once the

ferries are up and going again and that's lovely

well we roll in the gorge and they go down the gorge to from downtown to the

canoe club and a little in the summer they go actually all the way up to the

Tilikum bridge so sometimes when we're rowing we see tourists with their camera

taking pictures of us in our rowboat which is kind of funny but yeah so and

and you can do they have pickle boat pub crawls as well so you can cross pickles

is the word I think pickled is the word yeah I haven't never been on one of

those pick up pub crawls because I don't drink much but I have some friends who

have their good tours so uh regarding this area how like what

sort of amenities do you like where do you do your shopping and you know what

the who's in your neighborhood there's everything I need at Westside shopping

center and that's maybe ten minutes walk for me there's a save on there's the

bank there's important things like Booster Juice and pizza houses and

Mexican restaurants and I really I tell you that new Victoria sushi that is

great sushi so so I got that there's a liquor store there's a what you call it

wait if you have any blood tests that's a medical clinic clinic yeah life labs

that's the word life labs there's pretty much everything there and so if I need

that's my major shopping center I rarely go anywhere else and it does me it's not

flashy but it's all I need and the other direction in this crime up there some

shops - you know there's a regular old Shoppers Drug Mart and a few other small

stores so it has everything and I'm longing for that big new development

just along here to finally get done there roundhill's development townhouse

development I mean I think they're going to have some little artisan stores in

there I think it'll probably be finished in about 30 years but hey you know it

would be great when it is done and I think that that would be a really big

attraction to come over to this side of the bridge yeah so about five years ago

I was invited along with other top producing realtor in the city to review

a plan for that and we were I think it's a 10 acre development 10 or 11 acre

development so and what they're doing is they're converting what was formerly a

rail yard into a round house for the trains into development so they have

high-rise apartments and they are doing mixed-use there'll be things like

daycare and things like that as well and I think that's actually what's the

primary driver to changing everything that and the proximity of the West Side

mall that's what you're saying yeah III mean it's just it's it for me it's

perfect you know I've got a lot of other friends who are

and they're still driving up big big hills and they can't walk anywhere from

their home to a store and I'm thinking that's not what I want at this stage in

my life so I'm really pleased you know I was a lot younger when I decided on

these really kind of old older older person's lifestyle choices but I have no

regrets of things gotta be on the flat got to be able to walk to town got to be

able to walk to the shops buses at the end of the road I'm it's really a it's a

it's a very neat area yeah so actually I think you're really smart that you made

the decision before you had to so what you'll learn about sue in the next part

of this segment is that sue likes to make decisions before she has to and she

does some really cool things she's also a bit of leading edge in video

production we'll come back and talk to that in a bit I would just want to touch

on one other thing about this area so they're also doing the the big court and

I mean that that's an interesting development in itself as you know

there's been a lot of controversy about that new marina interestingly I know the

guys who originally were going to develop it they've like 30 years ago I

knew that this was coming up they were friends of mine in Edmonton and it's

interesting I think there's been a lot of controversy and basically antagonism

about the new marina and and I can understand that because it is quite big

but I think once it's finished and let's just hope it's if you build it they will

come because I've done a lot of sailing and

I'm not sure how many mega yachts come up this week but you know it may be if

you build it they will come it's a bit cold up here sometimes in the

winter yeah they weren't well unless they come up and they're you know I've

lived aboard in my life so I'm pretty familiar with the with living aboard and

a marine life I mean if they come up here and then they're happy to park it

for the winter so that they've then lost you know they don't have to do the 2,000

miles up from San Francisco which is I mean I've sailed that coast from here to

a port of IATA and it's a bit of a boring coast for a lot of it so you know

if you've got a big if you've got a mega yacht you're basically gonna chug and

use a lot of a lot of gas from here to San from San Francisco to here so I

think it has the possibility is somewhere where people will come and

park and then they'll go up and explore the whole of the BC archipelago are

nothing to Alaska in the summer so it may work it may well work so one of the

great things about Victoria that I didn't realize when I moved here was

there's a series of provincial parks on Islands north of north of Sydney and you

can take a sailboat and go to these various parks have you done that

I know this coast really really well yeah I mean I've been all of the local

Gulf Islands I've sailed to a desolation sound I also kayak so I've yeah I know

this coast really well up to the Broughton archipelago which is at the

top end of Johnston straight and for me it's a I swear my heart really is and

and that and kayaking I don't sail as much I pulled my shoulder out and nearly

did myself a nasty one out and a streak here when I was sailing out on my own

so that was getting a bit stupid so I I saw my sailboat but I still have my

kayak and I I actually for several years I've led a kayak trip with my friends

and we have we know this coast really really well but it's the Inside Passage

and and the outside of the island which is a totally different ballgame but it's

beautiful so I've been challenged to find cinnamon

buns stories in each podcast so did you ever have cinnamon buns from the

cinnamon absolutely guy yeah absolutely yeah he it was hilarious this was a long

time ago in my kids in squirrel Cove the guy in squirrel Cove right no while I

was in Montague harbour oh not the Montague harbour one there was I think

he traveled around he did but we bought from him up in squirrel cove on Cortes

and it was hilarious because it was just like it was a little old wooden floating

home and you go in and the whole place poof

was white I mean he the flower just went everywhere so the whole of the inside of

this one-room cabin with it with a stove was white he well I presume he had gray

white hair cross but maybe he didn't maybe it was the flower he was just

white from head to toe and we got cinnamon buns from him yeah so ease so

we we went up and we ordered the cinnamon buns the night before and then

the next morning you were over and you pick up your cinnamon buns and they were

amazing there yeah how long ago was that Jane would have been ten years ago yeah

yeah I I don't know if he's still doing it but it was it was such fun yeah yeah

I'll never forget it's like excuse me poof of white everywhere it was

hilarious I didn't get to see them actually because I was with our kids our

kids were little at the time so our kids were in the boat so I was looking after

them while my husband rode the dinghy over but anyway okay so I'm you've got a

taste for Victoria Vick West that is so we're gonna come back in a moment and

we're gonna talk to sue about who she is and what she does and you can learn all

the interesting things that sue has attacked in her retirement we'll be back

soon

Vancouver Island time is brought to you by the Briar Hill group at Remax

commotions Victoria where we bring local expertise and global presence to your

property

all right and welcome back to Vancouver Island time I'm here with Sue Ferrara

who one of the reasons why I asked you to be on the podcast with me is that she

is an engaging and Meg she has a magnetic personality and she just

attracts the most amazing people and she has done a lot of cool things in her

life I'm gonna let her tell you the story one one of the things I wanted to

ask you though I mean you can hear from her she has a British accent so tell us

how did you get from Britain to going up and down the coast living in a boat - I

believe we lived in Alberta and now you're in Victoria I mean which is also

yeah so we're actually one of the colonies you know I've been here 42

years now and I still got my British accent so nothing ever changes right

except all my relatives in the UK say I that's such a North American accent but

I you know I guess I picked a bit up so eh eh yeah my story well my sadly now my

ex which is part of the story we we came to Canada in 1976 you know the UK was a

pretty unhappy place in 76 there was a lot of political misery and we're both

physicians and we were in the National Health Service and you know there are

there were strikes galore it was pre Maggie Thatcher and you know I'm not not

saying there isn't good to unions but you know it was it was a pretty unhappy

place and you have these final straws I went in one morning to work to go in the

or and at that stage all of the cleaners and you know general factotum was at the

hospital where we're out on strike and they because I was walking to work they

couldn't believe I was a physician because we all came in Rolls Royces

right and someone and I went through the picket line and someone hit me with a

with a sign and called me a scab and I thought you know I've had enough of this

so we kind of we took a big deep breath and came to Canada and I've never

regretted it I think I'm a genetic North American I love I love this country

I'll get sloppy it's been incredibly good to me so you know we've got this

right now Jane Olympics are on go Canada Canada and and it's been the best

country for me and you know it's interesting that two days ago my

daughter has been living in Europe for six years she's married a Brit and he's

just got his immigration papers last week and so they've just returned to

live on the island to and be really nice to have one kid close by so that's why

we came to Canada and then I spent about 28 years as an anesthesiologist in

Edmonton the Stoller II Children's Hospital a pediatric anesthesiologist

and then that sad thing happened you know which sadly happens to 50 percent

of marriages that I was divorced at the age of 60 after 37 years of marriage

which was kind of that's a downer man yeah if you want that was my real cry

again that was my real down time in life the blue period yeah black I think maybe

even more yeah it was a tough time and so you know you you have to make

decisions you're 60 you're going into your old age that was in 2007 2008 was

the financial crash that this kind of vision I don't have visions I don't do

visions but I did have one and I just suddenly saw it was really emotional I

just suddenly saw all of these folks especially the baby boomer age who were

going to lose their life savings and it was gonna be really really tough for

them and I was I was an anesthesiologist here after my divorce I moved here so I

just been here a couple of years and you know I just decided I would do something

about it I would do something to help these folks come back and and you know

be able to survive their their retirements better I found out a lot of

people weren't really interested in doing anything in their retirement but

business women it's it's I think it's a tough time to be a businesswoman

and you I don't know what you think here Jane but there are so many changes going

on in the world and a lot of them involve business and I

could see that video was going to be a huge factor in the future and that if

you're not tech savvy yeah you were going to be in trouble so I I I built my

business on trying to help women overcome two things one is camera

shyness and the second is a techie terrors and so that's what I do

so I met sue because I attended one of her sessions and we did a video we did a

one-minute video thing and we were introduced us ourselves to the camera

and in front of the camera work and since then a lot has changed one of the

things I admire about you actually is that you are a bit of a visionary and

she's always ahead of the time and like me you're high into research so you're

always looking looking in the future yeah and so she runs you run a Facebook

group now what'd he call that Facebook be visible on video kind of obvious you

know and I'm building a YouTube channel which is the YouTube channel is growing

well and and yeah like you say everything's changed isn't it even since

we did what was it like three four years ago we did that workshop and since then

there was a lot of tech of video and we know that is all gone I mean we're

recording this right now on Jane's iPhone boom I mean this is like this is

the miracle I look at this thing's brilliant so now all you really need is

an iPhone and we'll use a microphone right now and we've got a tripod and and

that's easy yeah in fact I've got a new I've got a

new freebie coming outs which is the only three tools you need under 20 bucks

to have an HD TV studio and we've got them we've got them all here we've got

the clamp the tripod and the microphone that's all you need and and your

smartphone and you're away in the races you can go global with that how many so

you run weekly Facebook live videos and and you talk about the advantages of and

you actually do some assignments for people yep yep I do

again sometimes it's it's a bit like pulling teeth because I know oh I know

how much women got to do this and there is it's so it's really tough so many

women cannot overcome that camera shyness you know what though I will say

though when like when I first joined ewomen network which is where I met sue

we I remember Carrie Brown said okay everybody let's do a Twitter let's you

know Twitter hashtag for and we're all like what and I think that was probably

like 2008 or 2009 and then we you know I came on and I'm techie and I'm trying to

teach people how to do selfies I did a fantastic job of getting us onto social

media or getting everyone any women onto social media doing selfies doing live

videos while we're at ready women and that's where it's all that you know the

principle is we've lived in our own local world

whoops we've lived in our own local world forever and everything was

networking and public speaking or at least even if you're doing a workshop

you're still public speaking and now we've moved into this world where public

speaking has become video and social media is what networking was you're

doing the same thing it's the same message but there's this block about

taking it beyond the screen and I think that's tough and that's what I want to

do desperately for women is saying hey this is no different whatever you say in

the real world say it out in the virtual world and just extend your whole reach

and influence and impact and make a big difference yeah and the the point is is

that if you're going through what you're going through in your life there going

to be other people going through that so if you want to share it you know

somebody doesn't have to necessarily like I love the posts that people share

about you know what did they learn today because I'm the fourth of five kids and

I used to look at my older brothers and sisters I'd be like okay I'm

gonna do that I'm gonna do that I why do I have to you know reinvent the wheel

when there are other people who are doing it so my assistant Noah says oh my

god like all you're doing is you're researching all the time but with you

you're doing the research for us pichia people should be taking advantage of

that well I I think you've just made a really important point you used the

words excuse me again reinvent the wheel video allows you it's great folks this

bug has been such a pain video allows you to do it once and then put it

somewhere and it's there forever I say every video you make is a mini me of you

and so you just create an army of minimis on your products on the way you

feel about life on how you feel it's your brand it's your brand it is you you

and your brand and you just you just create the video and then it's there and

you know if you put it on YouTube it's there forever until you take it down if

you put it on Facebook live it's going to your your tribe your people and you

know we always would say people buy from those they know like and trust right

so video allows you to build that know like and trust very very effectively and

it's powerful you know what's funny is so sometimes I'd like last week I was

meeting a woman at the airport who was coming in to to buy a house in central

Saanich she's like I'll meet you at the reception and I'm thinking I don't know

what she looks like but she knows me she feels like she knows me because she's

been watching my videos so she's like oh yeah well I recognized you right away

you know so it is kind of weird when you go to a public place so and people know

who you are and you're you don't know who they are yeah it is but in a way and

and I think this is what freaks a lot of people out if you're serious about

building a business today you have to accept your in show business that's it

attention is is number one and you need to be there's this lovely phrase you

need everywhere now and I'm not saying you

you know you you give up your whole life to it but people search online if you're

not there you're not there it's so true yeah that's it and this year we've now

just hit 80 percent of all traffic in the way of his video eighty percent so

if you're not if you're not using video you're missing out on 80 percent of

where people are going on the web that's where people are going and the whole

important thing is to be seen and be heard I noticed even when people are

posting pictures now they make it into a little video so that it's graphic and it

makes a huge difference and there's some really cool completely free apps that

you can do that with yeah so if you want any information about how to make things

more sexy go to our sage here the sage on the stage sue sue for air okay so

what are your what are your plans over the next five years because I know you

have something exciting planned you must well I kind of settled down a

bit you know I had surgery last year and that I had breast cancer a few months

ago and that kind of makes you I'm ready for life again but it does change the

way you look but in terms of of of my biz I think this is again maybe what a

lot of folks don't realize things are moving very very fast everything is

changing and video has almost become well it's not passe but like you should

be there if you're not on video now die start okay you've got to be doing video

but ice and I see two big niches right now that I'm moving into that I'm going

to because of the way I've changed a lot of people don't know how to build a

YouTube channel properly and I see these incredibly talented people put a video

up they got like 200 videos and they got ten subscribers it takes it YouTube you

just don't put a video up and leave it you will never be seen so I'm going to

start offering to take care of people's YouTube channels I will maximize them I

will make look good and I will take care of them

you give me your video I'll do all the SEO I'll get it

looking okay so I'm gonna do that with YouTube because there are so many people

who don't use YouTube properly and Facebook's just had a complete spazz as

you probably know Facebook hasn't got a clue where it's going in this world so

you don't know how you're going to use Facebook in the next little while so I

think it's shifting back to YouTube so one of the things I'm going to start

offering is I will take care of your YouTube channel and the other thing

which is coming online massively is messenger BOTS oh yeah I find those a

bit annoying they're a bit annoying but they're powerful so I'm and I know how

they work because I have this techy dude thing and

so I'm going to start building BOTS for people if they need them as well and I

think that's where it's going those are the two big leading-edge things for me

right now okay well let's chat about that that's

interesting so I guess how will people find you that's I guess when as we close

out I'm just wondering where will they find you online well online they can

find me at my website wisdom - wealth mastery calm and I have website shame

because I'm actually transferring to a new platform right now so don't the

websites pretty awful my YouTube channel which is YouTube or just putting wisdom

12th mastery in in YouTube and I wisdom - wealth mastery yeah the whole idea is

take your wisdom to the world to generate wealth for you and for all of

your clients it's one of those nice win-win trickle-down things so YouTube's

wisdom 12th mastery Facebook wisdom - wealth mastery but if you'd like to join

my my group it's be visible on video and same Twitter wisdom 12th mastery you

know make it consistent make it simple LinkedIn wisdom - wealth mastery and I

mean that's the other thing make you know when you're looking at building

your presence I see this with a lot of people and this is why I'd love to take

that YouTube center because they're all over the place they've got different

names and and that scatters your scout is your ability to be fun so you get

your name and get your website and which may be your name but you know if you're

Mary Smith calm go for that so just just think about

what you're doing and make it the same across all platforms and you'll stop

being found yeah actually when I started my group buyer hill group it was because

I wanted a legacy of instead of going Jayne Johnston comm I just thought from

the beginning that was a bad idea okay well we have run out of time and I

would love to come back and interview you again sometime because she has so

much wealth obviously of knowledge any time Jane I I love it I I I really get

upset it actually breaks my heart to see talented women not move forward I breaks

my heart especially because I know this is the ender you're probably all going

to live to 120 so what the hell you're gonna do for the last next 50 years of

your life I'm 70 now so you know if I've got 50 years ahead of me I'm going to do

something I'm not gonna sit on my tush and twiddle my fingers so think about

what you want to do you have the opportunity to do something fantastic

for decades ahead but you need to be seen and you need to be heard yeah great

Episode 64 - Intentional Visibility with Karin Bohn - Duration: 34:55.

Welcome to another episode of the Design+Style podcast. We are a podcast

for designers, by designers. I am one of your co-hosts Dixie with Dixie Willard Design

and with me as always is the beautiful effervescent--Rachel with Rachel

Moriarty Interiors. And we wanted to say that the Design+Style podcast is brought

to you by the Visibility Lab. The Visibility Lab is the only membership

group that focuses on the latest strategies and tools to help you get

more visible while showcasing your specific brilliance. We've got weekly

online office hours with both of us, monthly topics, in depth worksheets, and

exclusive monthly trainings.

I have been waiting for this day for months Dixie!

Yes she has, she's not lying. I am not lying. Well I have too. I know we have Karen Bohn from the

House of Bohn and she has been really I mean it's such an influence to me I

think just because I don't think I had had a full vision of what I wanted to do

what I wanted my stamp to be in the design industry you know and

she kind of is that full picture. Yeah. Where I was like oh okay

she does you know personal brand and lifestyle and travel plus interior

design you know and I just love that about her so I am like so excited that

we got her on the podcast. And I love too that she's giving back to the interior

design community by showing you exactly what it takes to put yourself out there

to do design all of the behind the scenes stuff

yeah just even things like dealing with HR which I don't ever want to have to do.

It's been really exciting that one of our community members introduced us to

her she was already putting out great content and now she's well over I

haven't checked the numbers lately but I know she just hit her ten thousand--

I checked it today. Oh did you? She had 17,050 subscribers today when I looked.

that is crazy because she just celebrated 10,000 so within like the

last couple weeks she got seven more. How crazy is that? She is blowing up. Let's get to it!

Karen Bohn is a Canadian award-winning

luxury interior designer, successful businesswoman, speaker, and YouTube personality.

Hello I'm so excited to be here. Oh my gosh, okay let me just--I am more excited.

We have to announce that this is your first podcast interview. This is my very first podcast interview.

We're honored. Yeah, I'm feeling legit

right now that I'm doing a podcast. You're so legit right now.

I have to tell you I'm gonna out myself, Dixie. Okay.

Okay. Well if you didn't, I would have so--I know. I love it. That's why I want to do it myself so--

Our community introduced us to you and I went on and I can't even tell you I

binge-watched you so hard. Awesome. Dixie would call me and try to--we'd try to do a meeting

and I'd be like excuse me, I'm watching Karen Bohn right now, I can't talk. I love that you know what that means

so much to me and my entire team that's like the best compliment and I always

feel so just humbled and honored that people watch even a single episode on

YouTube let alone binge-watch so when people are saying like oh my god I'm

binge-watching you right now, I'm always like wow that's so amazing so

thank you so much it really--I really feel humbled and honored about that.

You receive it so well too because when somebody says that to me I'm all oh. Yeah,

yeah, well you know it's a funny thing because when you're putting

yourself out there a lot as I'm sure with you guys are with your podcast,

right? It's--there's a certain amount of vulnerability that has to happen as

you're putting yourself out into the public

whatever the platform is and so I think and I think for people who are only

watching or consuming they might not realize the type of vulnerability that

there is there so when you get a compliment or when people are really

loving the content that you're putting out it's just like an amazing it's

an amazing compliment. Yeah. Yeah. So our community focuses around visibility. Yes, yeah.

And most of our community are solo design firms and

small design residential design firms. Yes. Mostly stagers, stylists, and

decorators. Okay. And designers too interior designers. Okay. Dixie's got--I always say Dixie's

got alphabet soup behind her name.

Amazing. So I love that you talk about the vulnerability a lot of people reach out to

us and say you guys are so confident and we're like we're really it I mean there

is a now we you know down the road we are a bit confident but I think courage

trumps confidence. Definitely. You have to be you have to be courageous and you have to

put yourself out there. You have to be courageous, yeah and I think that the

only way to become more confident is by doing and by trying, right? And by getting

outside of your comfort zone and so and that's the only way that

growth happens too business growth or personal growth is that you have to be

consistently getting outside of your comfort zone so and that could be

anything from doing a podcast to doing a YouTube episode to doing a cold call

which for me if you I've talked about that a lot on

my YouTube channel and building my business through cold calling and I

still do a lot of cold calling and that was a huge--I had to work at it. It didn't

come naturally in the beginning it was super, super scary. I hated doing it in

the beginning but I was motivated to build my business and the more that you

do it the more comfortable you get at it the more that just builds your

confidence so I 100% agree that courage trumps confidence

for sure but courage is what leads to confidence. Absolutely. And I think failure is really

important too. Oh my gosh. Yes. Very important I think you can't be growing and you can't

be building you know your self-esteem if you're not failing and you're not

dusting yourself off and moving forward again so you can't live

inside it--you can't grow if you're living inside a box. What we try to tell

our community too is you have to get uncomfortable and then stay there. Yeah. You know what I mean? For sure.

Like every time I do something that's out of my comfort zone once it starts to feel comfortable

is when I start pushing again. For sure and you know what I think for me I with

I've--it's--so there are times in my business and in my life where I just have to

accept and embrace the discomfort whatever that looks like and you know as a

business owner and even if you're a solo entrepreneur you know that there are

there are ebbs and flows in business and as you're growing there's always

challenges that you're taking on it's like it's not an easy road and there's

times that I've experienced when building my business where you know we

hadn't been collecting on payments and our s* was hitting the fan with clients and we

had overhead and staff to pay for and all of these commitments and so much

pressure and I couldn't see a new work coming around the corner and those are

always the scariest, toughest times to go through because you have so much

pressure and commitment that you have to do and so in those moments I

always try to check myself and say okay you know what it's uncomfortable right

now I'm just gonna embrace the discomfort and this too shall pass

and I think it that for me that's really worked because it allows me to have a

little bit of peace in those really hard times and it allows me to approach

any of the problems that are coming up or the challenges that are coming up

from so much more of a centered place rather than being really reactive right

so yeah but definitely embracing the discomfort is very, very important for

sure. Okay, I have to ask you something. Okay, let's do it sounds serious.

No, no, no, not at all well Dixie and I were of course you know researching you I didn't

even need to research you actually cause I've been kind of doing that for the last couple months.

Yeah. But we love

that you have this personal brand. Okay. As well as your firm like I think that's--you--I think the reason why

you resonated with me so much is because my background design was organic I

didn't go to design school I did get a certification in like 2005. Okay. But I was a

fashion stylist and prop stylist. Cool, yeah. And vision merchandiser and I kind of did that

track. Right. And so for me it's always been like well how do I bring this like

fashion part you know I'm almost 50 so my fashion was in like my twenties--What?! Oh my--Yeah

Oh my god girl you look like you're 30. Amazing! So this thing that happened like

years ago right I'm like how do I pull that in and make it you know and make it

part of my thing. Yeah. So, that's why it really resonates I love that you do in the past

you've done like the makeup and you've done lifestyle--your travels all of

that so I just love that you do this whole personal branding of yourself. Cool, yeah.

Thanks. Is that--what came first brand or--? No, it definitely wasn't the personal brand

so I definitely built my business for just head down worked hard for a full

five years before I did anything on social media anything and I think when I

mean when I started my business there wasn't--Instagram I don't was even really around because I

started my business, I don't know nine years ago and no one was really using it and

after five years I had reached a certain level like I wouldn't say that I was like

established in a big way but I had reached a certain level of you know I

had an office and I had staff and we had a few systems and the business was

trucking along and I, for me personally, I felt like I loved what I had built but

self-expression was--is so important to me and self-expression is we have eight

commandments at House of Bohn and self-expression is definitely one of

them that you can express yourself, that you can show up, be who you are and I

really felt like I had something to say and more to share beyond just my

interior design work and I sort of felt like you know I had a beautiful website

and great portfolio photos but I wasn't able to show my personal personality in

the way that I wanted to so it was about after five years that I just started

dabbling with starting a blog and just really experimenting with social media

and it's just evolved into what it is now and I don't know I just genuinely

love to do it. So, you've been at it a while? Like you've been at it a while. I guess so, yeah I

mean the YouTube channel is technically probably about two years old or

something like that but we started really posting consistent

content last January so about a year. Yeah. A year ago and then but I

definitely started my blog probably about four-ish years ago and it was

really I mean like anything you start a business it's trial and error right

you're just experimenting what works what doesn't work what feels good what

doesn't feel good and but the great thing was that I had already built a

business and so building a personal brand after that I don't want to say

like it was easier but there was it wasn't like I was trying to build a

personal brand and then try to build a business on top of a personal brand

because that's not at all what I'm trying to do it was just this really is

just a platform for self-expression and then it's turned into an amazing way to

give back to my community too and share knowledge and be really honest and real

about what's going on for me as a business woman and the more I talk about

that topic it's amazing to me the response that I get from that and then

the realization that this is okay truly important work because we living in

North America I think we have it so made as a businesswoman and as just

as a woman in North America but to be able to do all this stuff and have a

business and grow a business and build a personal brand I mean there's so many

countries in the world that can't do that or that need really awesome role

models and strong women to look to so now it's almost become a little bit

more of--it's--I feel like it's bigger than me I guess. Oh my gosh it's taken on a life of its own. Yeah, yeah.

That's so cool I know I think one of the comments in

our community was that they love the ones where you're just like being an

entrepreneur is just so hard like sometimes when you're just like you look

great and you have your coffee and you're looking all cute but at the same

time you could just tell there's like this weight of like so much--For sure

yeah and you know it's an interesting thing the

entrepreneurial struggle because people don't want to talk about it people and

there's a lot of smoke and mirrors that happen in the--Yeah the "#entrepreneuriallife." Yeah when you're building a business

totally and I think also men and women think about business very differently too

which I've--I'm like fascinated by that topic but yeah so just the idea of smoke

and mirrors and that you you're trying to portray you're bigger than you are or trying

to portray like you've got a bigger team than you do or that you have bigger clients

than you do or more clients than you do or whatever that looks like for you know

whichever industry and the one thing that I really love about the YouTube

channel is it's like okay this is you know you here we are peeling back

the layer we are peeling back the curtain and you get to see really what's

happening behind the scenes and for me there's something that's I love about

that because it's like the ultimate transparency you know like if you want

to work with us you can you can see what it's like on our YouTube channel or if

you yeah if you want to know anything about us it's right there and it

just is you know it is what it is. Even--there was one episode I was watching and I don't

remember which it fell under the entrepreneurial part of it but you

were talking about how much you hate HR issues and I was like yes! I do.

I hate HR issues, I hate them. I don't want to hire people because I don't want to have to deal with all of

that--yeah--issues and it's just it's nice to hear that you're not the only one, you know?

Totally, yeah and I think that--I don't know I think that women and

entrepreneurs think that they have to have it all together and that you have

to love what you're doing every single day and your job is amazing and you know

this is your passion so why would you be having a bad day? Kind of thing and I

think that even if you're doing what you're passionate about it's still it's

still a job at the end of the day you still have commitments and

you still have to wake up and do your job and not every aspect of that job you're

going to love and that's totally ok that's totally ok you don't have to love

every aspect of it and I think there's actually something really powerful in

really being identified--being able to identify the things that you don't like

and passionately don't like because you know right away that's something that

you need to give to someone else because they're gonna do a way better job than

you are at it. Yeah I love--have you ever read the book Big Magic by

Elizabeth Gilbert? No, oh you know what, but I've heard Big Magic yeah I've heard of it. It's so good. Is it?

She talks about it and about choosing something that you're passionate about basically

when you do that your choosing which s* sandwich you're gonna eat, right?

It's either this corporate thing that you don't like doing

or even if it's something you love doing we still have to eat the same one just a

different flavor you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. It's really good. Exactly I think I remember

Marie Forleo talking about that on one of her YouTube episodes or had to

interviewed her and she was saying the exact same thing that when you even when

you do what you're passionate about there's a certain amount of s* sandwich you

have that comes with that passion and that's so true and I think it's just

the hopefully the goal or the aim in life is to just you know eat as little

of s* sandwich as you possibly can but that everybody has to and is going to, right?

Yeah. Right? So, yeah. That's so funny. But I do think as an entrepreneur too you I mean there's so

I often say that like sometimes I feel like the janitor and the

firefighter that's really like I'm a glorified janitor and firefighter I put

out all the problems and clean up all the s*. Oh my gosh, that is so good! Yeah. I'm gonna need it. Tweetable!

Speaking of Marie Forleo, Tweetable! Yeah, exactly. I had a question so when did you decide or

did you decide from the beginning was it so intentional what you're doing to hire

a media team? Oh to hire a media team? Like did you first do it like let's do it like oh I'm just gonna do it by myself

and one other or--? I have to say truly the media team was an organic happened

organically and more than anything out of the need well I'm a believer in like

hiring for attitude and training for skill and I'm also a believer in hiring

the right people and that that will help direct where the ship is going to go

first is trying to steer the ship in a certain direction and then trying to

find people to fill those roles so really the media team I mean Sama as

you guys all know or Kristen I mean she had been shooting fashion for me just on

contract for so we had developed a relationship for I don't know maybe a

year or two maybe even longer than that and one day she approached me and said

hey you know what if you're ever looking to hire someone full-time I'd be

interested in shooting for you and doing video and I mean that was amazing that I

it was great that I love hearing that she wanted to come on board with

the team and I was at the time I was kind of like oh you know could we afford

someone full-time in-house? Yeah. But I knew I loved working with her and

I knew that you know when you hire the right person the role will it's kind of

like that build it and they will come analogy like the role will sort

of evolve and if that person can add value to your business then it'll work

and so it was a little bit of a leap of faith when I brought her on board and it

was great because we were able to just start collaborating in a really cool way

and developing and I mean the cool thing too is that she's been here like

with the YouTube channel basically since the beginning you know when we tested

out her first few videos and so it's been a fun journey to go through

people and do through the experimental phase which when you're in start-up and

that's kind of sometimes how I've thought about the media team is it's

almost feels like a little start-up again and there's something that's like really

exciting and fun about start-up cause you don't know where it's gonna go and you don't

know where your next job is gonna come from and you know how are you gonna make

money and then how are you gonna be profitable and there's a certain

excitement that comes with that and then you know once you take your business to

a level where it's now sustainable and profitable like if you are if you if

you're a true like true thorough-bred entrepreneur like I am as soon as you

take your business to a point of sustainability it's like insanely boring

Yeah. It's crazy it's like this weird thing that happens it's almost like the

excitement and the thrill of trying to get something off the ground and the

challenge it's like self-torture the brutal challenge

of trying to get something off the ground is the exciting part and then

once it's all the pieces are in place it's kind of like, oh okay. It's kind of like

Now what do I do? Like new design projects like oh my gosh this is going to be so awesome

and then you're like in it in the middle and you're like oh my gosh yeah

but I think with the media team too I mean for me I like really like I said

before self-expression is super important to me and I wanted to be

working in media for a really long time to be totally honest I had been trying

to actually get a TV show off the ground for pretty much as long as I have had my

interior design business so--See that's what I was wondering because I remember one

of the videos that you did that you said being famous was actually one of your

values that you wanted. Yep! Not a value but you wanted your thing--Oh totally. Like a

little thing in your soul that--Oh yeah, totally, totally. The feeling yeah that's like

your core desired feelings and one of them yeah for sure

feeling famous is different than being famous. Yes, yes. Because it almost doesn't

matter if I am famous it's just if I feel that way and no one knows about me that

that's enough right and so yeah that was a powerful moment being able to identify

that because when you and then being able to say it out loud too, right? I like the

way you actually re-framed that for me because very Danielle Laporte right but

no that's true because as an introvert I don't mind as an introvert I

don't mind feeling famous but I don't necessarily want to be--You guys don't

mind if you see Sama in the background do you? No! No, it's part of your story. Okay

yes sorry I cut you off there yes, totally. So, I love the way that you've

reframed that because I remember when you said it I was like wow yeah and then I was

trying to think in myself like is that something that I'm feeling too?

And I was like no, no, no, but the way you reframed it yeah I do like I mean

obviously we put ourselves out there in a big way every you know

every day so there must be that little something in there, right? For sure,

and I think you know whatever those core desired feelings are like one

if it was successful you know the--being successful is so subjective and being

successful to different people means different things so but for you if you

just want to feel successful and you know what that feels like to you that

might not be money it might not be you know a huge agency--My style or something. Yeah, it may be

something--it might be having just a very rich network of friends and family and

you know a great career that might be successful to you and so that feeling is

so much more important than the attainment of it. Yeah. Yeah. I love that.

I'm so glad we talked about that because--I like your fur by the way. Well I had to. I am all about fur.

It was intentional. It was intentional? You wore it for me? Yeah, I almost threw it on my shoulders just kinda like

Karin Bohn style you know? I love it, I love it. She really is--she really does have a crush on you.

It's--we're not--Yeah, it's for real. Oh that's amazing. Well we're mutually girl crushing

right now, so--I love it! It's awesome!

What else did I want to say? I think I lost my place hold on somebody called me

Wilma Flintstone chic I went to an event and I wore this they went oh you're so Wilma Flinstone chic today

I love it. I love that. I love the background too. Are you--this is your office? Yes! I love how the design--

very cool. Yeah, my home office I work from home. Oh, yeah. We all do so--Awesome. Anything else Dixie?

I lost my place. No. You're crushing I can see it in her eyes. Okay, Rachel may not be the only one.

When she gets that glowy look in her eyes--

Yeah. Well I know you guys talk about visibility a lot, right? And that's a big

focus. Yeah, that's actually a good segue into something I did want to ask about

which is has having your YouTube channel with all of the different

aspects in it how has that enhanced your design business? So interesting that you

would ask that and to be totally honest I feel like

it's too early to say because it's still growing and evolving but one of the

things that I am a firm believer in and at least for our practice and for House

of Bohn is that social media is not the same thing as sales and I've said that

before on I think another video where

the sales process and being very active on social media are two completely

completely different things and currently our my social media audience

is also very different than our interior design client so you know and right now

whether I bridge that gap you know over the next year or over the next five

years that might happen but right now that's not to say that clients and stuff

like that don't come through social media they do but it's not a huge

portion of the work that we do so I think for me I think for--Gary V said

it best where I think he said you know building a brand just to build a

personal brand is pointless or he said something along those lines like what's

the point in having a personal brand just for the sake of having a personal

brand? Yeah. But I do think that you know it--I mean it is good for visibility and

it's great for credibility and like I said it's again transparency is one of

our eight commandments at House of Bohn so by being able to you know lift

the curtain for people to see what's going on I feel like that is the

ultimate transparency it definitely I do notice that we get I get more calls from

people who have seen the YouTube channel or Instagram for all sorts of different

reasons it's not always and actually very infrequently "oh I saw you on

YouTube and I would love to hire you to design my place" so that doesn't happen

very often but who knows? That could change but I don't even know if that's

necessarily why the point of the YouTube channel like for me it really is about

you know community and really about giving back

and sharing so it I don't necessarily see it as like a sales tool if that

makes sense? But it is nice though what to have those avenues there where

sometimes it's not the client that sees it, it's somebody who knows your client

For sure, yeah, yep, for sure yep and that hasn't happened yet it

maybe it will but it hasn't happened I don't know I'll check back

with you guys in a couple years and I'll say like oh my god we get all of

our clients from YouTube, I don't know. Well it's interesting because I think your audience is designers more like

enthusiasts. Yeah. We get the question a lot how do you become an interior designer?

For sure. Now I have the opposite so almost all of my traffic to my website

which means I need to do a better SEO job is Facebook. I just post like last night when I post a

picture of a before and after I just posted a picture of me putting a cover

on a bed somebody in and just with like a post that says you know this couple's

gonna sleep well tonight does your bedroom need a refresh and I got a client

like that and I booked it for after the design--Amazing. So, I get a lot, it's the way that I

show and kind of like tag my or do my posts or whatever I've nailed that

down but I have a very different client than you do you have a great team and

you have big projects and--Yeah and that was actually one thing I was going to say is that's the thing too

is I think if it's you want to use social media as a tool for client

acquisition or attracting new clients I think identifying you know A) first of

all are your clients even hanging out on social media? Yeah. Right? Because some

when we're doing big homes and like international projects like they're just

not finding us on social media that's just not where they are so definitely

that's not a tool to attract them. Yeah. Yeah, so I think if that's and I

definitely think that there can be a lot of client acquisition or you know lead

generation through social media but I think having that you have to understand

your client first and--Yes. And then yeah strategize for that.

And you have different like I have gotten clients through like from I

did a little like one of these and went into private banking. Okay. And I so those and

all the founders of the bank and the Chairman's of the board they're on

LinkedIn. Right, exactly. So I connect with them on LinkedIn as long as I'm sharing what I'm doing then I'm kind of

top of mind when that stuff so those that's happened too even though I'm not a

heavy hitter on LinkedIn. Yeah. So, it's kind of different you have to know

the different ones and you know. Yeah and I think too you know right now and it's

social media it's be social it's the hot thing right now like everybody's doing

social media there's that new platform vivo or whatever that just launched. I've seen that

yes and I was like oh my god another one yeah and you know I think that it's

important as a business owner to look at everything objectively and go okay what

what do I feel is going to be authentic to my practice yeah and then

what like what where do I want to spend my time and energy and effort when it

comes to whether it's promotion or visibility or client acquisition or

sales brand building because there's so many different ways to do it and I think

we can get really caught up in what everybody is doing

and really trying to you know aggressively do the same thing that

everybody else is doing yeah but that could be and especially if

you are a solo entrepreneur I mean there's only one of you so there's only

so much time that you have yeah and you want to make sure that you were maximizing that

efficiency as much as possible so yeah I think always just like taking a pause

and stepping back a little bit is critical. We always say if social media was a gym

we would deadlift Facebook. Nice, I like that. People kind of flit around they don't get any footing because they don't focus

because they are they're like oh that's the next new thing and that's the--oh I

love Karin Bohn I want my YouTube with that many followers exactly you know and

it's like you never they never focus and just deadlift something

yeah you know and so one of the things that I did is I did a live stream for a year

straight Wow I think yeah I think I knew that about you. No way!

That's a big commitment to be able to do that. That was--yeah and that's what we teach is that's

what people are missing is it's not so much the confidence it's the courage and

commitment that's the problem that people have is commiting. The discipline. Yeah.

yes and that's discipline I think is if you want to achieve something it

never comes without hard work and a little bit of sacrifice right and if you

want to make a shift in your life I think discipline is so important and so

so difficult to do I find it personally difficult to do because there's so many

distractions and so changing your habits is like oh my god but that discipline if

you know if you keep practicing and you show up every day for that one little

thing eventually it will shift and change it does turn into something

that's why I know your YouTube channel it's just gonna--I'm excited

to see what happens it's like and I always love Dixie and I will be planners like we'll

go to the market or whatever and we'll be like okay we scheduled this but we

always leave room for magic yes and so I love--I love that. Just putting something

being pulled by intuition and then leaving a little space for chance meetings chance

conversations you know for sure all of that stuff because you never know what's gonna happen and I think if

you're really truly in alignment with what who you were and

what you're doing and very intentional about how you're moving yeah I think

that great things are gonna happen right absolutely yeah

well this has been amazing Miss Karin. It's so wonderful to meet you guys oh my gosh we adore you thank you so much having me on

your show oh my gosh our pleasure yeah

well what did you think how fun was

that what do you mean what did I think that was amazing of course it was and you got all you got

all dreamy-eyed at the end too I totally busted you

Maybe a little bit I try and hide it but I'm not--apparently my face shows

everything that I'm thinking or feeling so

I should not try and hide anything really cause it didn't work. No, no she was so she was

exactly how I thought that's what I love about video and watching video content

because right when we hopped on with her she had no idea who we were but you know

actually she did she sounded like she had done some--you know she knew a few things

about us but I was so surprised to learn that we were her first podcast

right like she has this big YouTube channel now and she was like she's like

I fill legit this is my first podcast I think I mentioned it but I feel

really special that we were her first yeah yeah so she was so nice and she

she's just the real deal I am so looking forward to seeing where this journey

takes her I have a feeling she's gonna just blow up and so--Oh, yeah I look forward

to crossing paths with her I hope that we get to see her like a High Point or

something like that in the future I've got my fingers crossed

Blogging Or Vlogging - Which Is Better? - Duration: 9:41.

should you be blogging or should you be vlogging in other words should you start

a YouTube channel or should you start a website using WordPress now I can do a

direct comparison because I started both of those at the exact same time last

year I actually stopped this website and YouTube channel

after two months because I decided to expand the topic and talk about a wider

range of topics but you can see from this one exactly what my statistics were

and what I did so here is the website and you've got lots of articles here I

think they're about 50 articles and in some different categories but they're

all about visuals so making videos some photography and then some things about

images like that everything was about visuals and here is the YouTube channel

it's all about the same thing it's about 50 videos and it's about using images

and videos to boost your message so the same thing and you've got the videos

here so the important thing is to look at the statistics let's look at the

website statistics first the only promotion I did was using Twitter I

didn't actually get round to any other kind of promotion so if you look at the

source here you can look at some of these people came direct some came

through Google and some came through Twitter

I've got a couple of blips but not really much traffic here if you can see

the number of users a day even at the beginning only just maybe three or four

and then even now I'm just getting maybe two or three a day so not many visitors

let's compare that with the YouTube analytics or the statistics it's a lot

different here you can see for the first couple of months actually nothing

happened but then it suddenly started going up and getting lots of visitors

you can see the visitors here so it went up to about 113 visitors in one day this

is the daily statistics and even now I'm getting if you look there's a hundred

and then 70 hundred there 78 so roundabout

maybe 90 as an average even today and I stopped this I think last November

that's about three months ago so from that you can see that it's easier to get

people to look at your videos than it is to get them to come to your website and

it's understandable because YouTube has actually got its own search engine so

within YouTube people are going to be looking for something and your video can

come up also once your video comes up you can put an end screen and make them

look at other videos on your channel so there are ways to get viewers even

without doing anything there with the website you've got to start doing SEO

you've got to get backlinks or start getting customers or viewers from your

social media so I think YouTube definitely wins there here's my newer

channel I stopped the other one because it was really limited what I could

actually make videos about whereas now with exploring avenues I've expanded it

to cover my traveling which I've been doing for 28 years and working online

which I've been doing since the late 1990s so there are just so many more

things that I can make videos about so let's look at the statistics and again

the first two months nothing really happened but then it's just shot up

since then and it's it's on a straight line really if we look at the views here

it's on a straight line going up you can see here it just went along the bottom

maybe 10 or 20 views and then it started going up after two months and it's up to

about maybe 90 views on average at the moment per day and if we look at the

actual watch time we're talking about maybe 5 hours 4 or 5 hours watch time

a day which I'm really happy about so let's look at which one you can actually

make money on and I've got a few ways of making money here you can use Adsense

which is Google's way of monetizing stuff using adverts you can sell

products you can use affiliate marketing where you're getting commission from

other products or you can have patreon which is really people sponsoring you

maybe you give an extra service to some certain sector of people and they'll

sponsor you for that so which can you use and actually for all of these you

could you could use any of these for both the YouTube channel or WordPress

with Adsense it can come up on the YouTube channel I think now you have to

actually have 4,000 hours a view time before you can start and also a thousand

subscribers so you have to wait whereas with a website you can put it on there

straight away but actually this isn't really the best way of making money the

top way really is a product especially something like an e-book as long as

it's really relevant once you've got the people following you and they believe in

you then you can do an e-book which is really telling them all they need to

know in a concise way and really getting them going say it's for making a website

you could do an e-book or an e channel maybe videos and really teach them

everything they need to know and to get them started the next way here is

affiliate marketing and the good thing there is that there are so many products

that allow affiliates I'm actually not trying to make money on my youtube

channel and my new website at the moment I'm trying to just build up a following

and find out what people are interested in and give them that information but

later on I will start doing affiliate marketing

just with stuff that I believe in so stuff that I'm using and I've used and

that I find really useful the last one there is patreon and you can actually

give people a better service so you might actually have an online meeting

with a group of people once a month and answer their questions and things like

that and they can pay a certain amount per month for that so those are the ways

of monetizing either a YouTube channel or your website so which one is best

well I think it's better to get started with a YouTube channel it's easier to

get those viewers and you can find out what the viewers like you can look at

your statistics so down here I can see what people are

looking at which videos and they're kind of looking at the stock photography they

seem to be more interested in stock photography and also in Thailand

compared with my other videos so it gives you feedback you can make more

videos like that and you can build up an audience the other thing is YouTube is

really quick to start you've just got to set up an account put a header up here

and start making videos where WordPress is better is it's good for affiliate

marketing you can have lots of plugins and you can do things like this so it

actually picks out words like here we've got explaindio which is a type of

software for making videos and if you click on that word then you'll go to the

affiliate website the person clicking it can buy that software and you'll get a

commission you can also do things like shortened URLs so you could have here

blogvisuals.com/explaindio then I can use that in my youtube

channel that's just a much better way rather than having some long URL that is

actually the affiliate link because it doesn't look good on YouTube so it's

good for that it's also good for gathering emails now I haven't done it

here but you can then put a thing here to fill in your email address and your

name and click it to join an email group you can then send them an email once a

week have that all automated where you're showing your new content or

giving some advice the other good thing about WordPress and having an email list

is that those customers then belong to you you're not relying on Facebook keep

showing your different articles or relying on Twitter and YouTube because

YouTube and Facebook they can just change their algorithm and then suddenly

you go from having lots of visitors to half the visitors or maybe no visitors

you've got no control over that whereas with your website and with your email

list you have so my verdict is to start with a YouTube

channel build that up once you've gone into it maybe three or four months build

a website and then start building an email list as well and getting emails

and then use them in conjunction with each other
