Giving away gifts after every video




Hi,


Have you noticed I have been giving away prizes after almost every video? Also, I have been uploading a video about 4-5 times a month! How do I suddenly have money to give away gift prizes so often? Well, I have been making videos on the website MyLikes. The website allows me to earn pennies per view and then pays me at the end of every week. That's how I have been able to give away weekly prizes-I use my earnings to buy stuff for random viewing winners.

I just wanted to say a quick thanks to all of you who have not complained about these types of sponsored videos. I was very excited when I learned about this site. I get to earn a little extra and I give that money back to YOU, in the form of a small prize.

I am about to film a video that will include chocolate in it. I know chocolate is not related to hair, but I will include a hair tutorial in the video, as well. This means, you will still get the hair tutorial. I will probably also include a make up tutorial as well.

I will use the earnings to continue to give away gifts on my channel! Thank you in advance for accepting my channel and understanding that the sponsorship also allows me to shop for things to improve my videos.

For example:
Has anyone also noticed I was able to get myself a better camera to use in my last few hair tutorial videos?  When I first started making videos, I was using my husband's Eye Toy from his Play Station and made videos on a loud PC!!!!  Over the years, it's been fun buying things like a new digital camera, better lighting and then a lap top to film and edit on. But though I spent money to improve, viewers continued to complain about the quality of my videos. People wanted me to get an HD camera. But no one wanted to pay for it LOL JK! You know what I mean. I knew I was going to have to save up. So, I started to accept sponsored videos and slowly saved up for a nice new HD camera! YAY! I am currently saving up to change my background to make it more interesting, but it will be a while.

Remember, no matter what, if I give you guys a sponsored video, I will also include something for you to take with you: a hair/makeup/nail tutorial and/or a prize. I never want to make you guys feel like I am just USING you. I appreciate that it's super easy and free to subscribe to my channel, but I know it's just that easy and free to UNSUBSCRIBE from my channel any time you want-I won't take that for granted-No You Tube guru should. This is why I try my best to get the most of every thing: A good tutorial for you, with high quality equipment. A bit of earnings for me to continue to purchase for and improve my videos. A bit of earnings for you to earn some small prizes every time I upload a video.

Thank you!
If you have ever used one of my tutorials, thank you for making my time of recording, editing and uploading these videos worthwhile.

If I haven't met you in person, I hope to meet you someday.
If I have met you, HELLO! Hope to bump into you again my friend.

Love,
Iris

I love your videos! You grabbed me with the Angelina Jolie Oscars tutorial and I've been watching ever since. (I got a ton of compliments on the hair, btw.) I don't mind you making money. You spend so much time doing it, you deserve it.

I remember your first videos and can say they've improved so much with the quality of filming. The content had always been great! I don't think you needed an hd camera, but I'm happy for you that you got one. Try not to take anyone's criticism to heart. I know, know easier said than done. You are such a wonderful person and so beautiful both inside and out! Thanks for making videos, and if you happen to get some money for them, good for you. You deserve it. :)

I am so happy for you! I think its been a year since I have been watching your videos-the ones where you did those 1920's hairdos! I think you were in your living room. You deserve the best equipment, I feel like you are helping lots of women (even men) learn about hair care, hairstyles and make-up. I learn something all the time. If you ever out in Pennsylvania let me know, I would love to say hi!-Adina L.

What I do

I make hair tutorials on YouTube. But I created this blog to connect with my fellow writers/bloggers. I've also created a myspace account, but I don't like the format for blogging. I'd rather blog here. As far as something to note about me: I rarely have will power when it comes to dieting. I'd rather eat what I want, but in moderation. I like girly stuff, but I don't like doing my own hair. I rarely do my own hair, so if you saw me in the street, you'd probably not recognize me. But if you ever saw me, I would love it if you came to say hi. Thanks for reading my blogs.
