Hi everyone, I'm Joshua Miller and welcome to my YouTube channel. I create videos on fashion, pop music, and psychology so that way you can live with style, confidence, and enthusiasm. And because style is my favorite subject, today I want to talk about YouTube, why I love it so much, and why I want to start making YouTube videos.

For starters, let's talk about YouTube and why I love it so much. Growing up, I felt like my family was constantly changing TV and streaming services, so I never really had access to television. Because of that, I had to turn to the internet—and YouTube specifically—for my entertainment. I loved YouTube because it was a platform where anyone was free to broadcast themselves and build their own audience on their terms.

YouTube helped me meet internet personalities like Tyler Oakley or Ant Venom, who would form the foundation of the kind of person I wanted to be when I grew up. They were fun, they were positive, but most of all, they were motivational and spoke to me personally. There were a lot of periods when I was growing up where I felt insecure about who I was, who I wanted to be, and what other people thought about me. And I found that YouTube was a really nice, safe space to interact with people who were the person I wanted to be. It helped me feel accepted for who I was at the time.

So, it naturally made sense that as I got older, I’d want to start making videos of my own. And I’ve been doing that on Instagram and TikTok every single day since February of this year. While I’m really happy with all of the lessons and experiences this has given me, I’ve always felt like those videos don’t get a fair chance to make the kind of statement I want to make.

When you’re making a TikTok or an Instagram reel, people are only going to give you three seconds of their attention before they move on. And as someone who’s always been thoughtful but also long-winded, I’ve felt very limited by these platforms. YouTube, on the other hand, feels like a place where people are more willing to sit with you and hear what you have to say. I feel like I’m a creator where it takes a little longer to get to know me and understand what I want to share, and YouTube is going to be a much better platform for that moving forward.

The other thing is that every single Sunday for almost a year now, I’ve been posting blog posts on my blog, joshamillerstyle.com. When I write these posts, I always feel like I’m writing them in the way I would speak them. The things I write about don’t translate perfectly into TikToks or Instagram reels, but they would make incredible YouTube videos. That’s another reason I really want to give this platform a shot.

I don’t really know yet what my calendar will be, what my schedule will look like, or how exactly I’ll record videos. In the spirit of honesty: I have my MacBook recording my audio, a $20 webcam I bought on Amazon, and a $15 ring light standing next to me. I know this isn’t how I’ll do it forever. But if content creation has taught me anything, it’s that it’s always best to start and figure it out as you go, rather than waiting for the perfect time.

Over the coming weeks, I’m going to be figuring out how YouTube fits into my content schedule. So, if you want to make sure you don’t miss this, make sure to subscribe down below and hit the like button as well. Your support means so much in getting this YouTube channel off the ground.

Lastly, I hope you have a fantastic day and thank you so much for watching!

[Laughter] I’m so excited to be doing this. Okay, okay, okay. I’m in character. I’m in character. I’m ready. I’m ready. I’m ready. Okay.

Hi everyone!
