In this video, I sit down with Izzy Sealey, a YouTuber with 500k subscribers, to talk about her journey on YouTube and what advice she would give to someone just getting started today. There's so much I wish I'd known when I started YouTube myself, and Izzy captures a lot of that advice in this video, so I think you'll get value from it. Enjoy!
