blogging Brandy where have you been and what have you been up to well I’m going to tell [Music] you my camera battery is dying so we’re going to have to work through this that’s not your problem that’s like mine I have absolutely like no background in video I just made a lot of videos and never had social media when I was in my corporate jobs went to school for hair went to school for finance I have degrees in both of those and then I just quit and gave it all up and you know started making YouTube videos cuz that’s
00:44
what people do with their life right like I want to be a YouTuber that’s not really why I started making YouTube videos somehow I fell into this whole YouTube thing oh my gosh haven’t recorded in a minute actually I have recorded I just haven’t recorded on this channel vlogging Brandy if it’s your first time here I’m Brandy welcome to vlogging Brandy if y’all don’t know I’m kind of based here in the ATL up awn down originally from Alabama so that’s where you hear my Southern draw from you
01:13
can find out more about me on blog andy.com let’s just talk about what’s been going on if you don’t remember my last video it was about why I was taking a break or essenti you like quitting YouTube and I really was just taking a break from my channel bloggy Brandy because there’s some things that just weren’t feeling right and the direction that my company was going and my brand and I wanted to just kind of get some clarity on that before I kept on going if I feel kind of like stressed or
01:47
strained the first thing that I do is take a break what have I been doing on my break let me just tell you because I can’t even remember what all I’ve been doing it’s been like 3 months went to a milia Island my girlfriend super cool we’ve been friends for like ever she has this car that was was so pamp was so pimp was so pimped that she was just like amazing to let me drive and it was this slotus and there’s only like one of 25 in the whole I don’t know if it’s world or us but pretty freaking
02:23
cool to have like one of 25 and be able to drive it [Music] [Music] you probably wouldn’t want this for an everyday car it wasn’t really like that comfortable oh and no power steering it’s like super race car it’s pretty cool oh and we went fishing so that was kind of fun good job good job what kind of fish is that it’s a Red Fish Red Fish good job Brandy I haven’t been fishing on the sea ever so that was new I didn’t really catch anything but of course asy saves day and she caught us some fish and we
03:11
got to eat fish that night so we ate the actual fish that we caught we took some pictures on the beach so I could have some content for my Vlog went to this like wine bar thing that was fun we did a bunch of stuff at the beach and we stayed there for go like 3 4 days seems like a lifetime oh we went on this party boat too while we were there that was pretty [Music] [Applause] fun party boat went to Vegas went to Vegas went to Chicago went to Florida visited family Vegas was fun I really love Vegas Vegas is kind of like second
04:07
home for me so I was kind of working on a little Vlog if you go back really far on this channel Vegas was kind of like one of the very first videos I made had people in and out of town that have been entertaining camping so I love camping we’ve been going camping and trying to find like an RV lot I wish I could find an RV parking spot where where I can leave it for a while I wish it wasn’t rented more owned plus I wish I had a bigger RV so right now I’m kind of stuck with the one I got it’s a long story oh
04:42
something happened and when you smell fire in plastic okay so this is my RV life this is the second time that I’ve had this repaired I’m going to show you exactly what happened my RV just burnt down almost again this the second time my RV is almost burned down I just had this transfer switch replaced in the same same exact thing happened and there’s no storms there’s nothing going on like I literally have my air condition on and nothing’s working so let me show you what happened
05:10
okay do you see how burned up this is it’s all burn up all burn up I had to spend like $300 on that so that was another RV mishap so my life pretty much for the last 2 years is just dealing with my RV it’s just been a mess I’ve been working on my RV Channel like I told you so adversity that has been kind of like my main focus oh my gosh I got this trailer in for my RV it’s been a nightmare I’m not even sure how to describe it you think when you order a trailer that it comes maybe
05:52
put together but this trailer didn’t come put together I had to put the trailer together the guy that sold it to me was like Hey I just want to let you know this trailer is on its way and you’re going to have to put it together I was like what huh now that I finally have the trailer together I’m not really sure if it’s safe okay so this might be the last time we see my smart car or my trailer because we’re we’ve hooked it up and we’re going to see but you have to see
06:18
this really janky job we did it’s just a nightmare and I haven’t accomplished that so that’s one thing that has to be done so that I can actually register and drive it on the road getting my RV fixed that’s what I spend most of my time doing fixing my RV fixing my RV so I know I talk about that it’s amazing life and you should try it but honestly there’s a lot to deal with it’s like owning a home besides when I’m trying to work and travel I have to figure out how
06:43
to get internet then if the RV is broken I have to drop the RV off and then figure out how to drive got a smart car I got a smart car so then I bought this trailer for my smart car and it’s just been a mess like I went to social media marketing world I’ve got some videos goinging out about that I kind of like pushed that off and I feel horrible so if anybody went there and there was a video that’s supposed to be coming out about you and I haven’t put it out there’s like a reason it’s cuz all this that I
07:14
have going on Rand like a boss wrote this book after I left social media marketing world if you haven’t seen me use # black boss kind of more to have a little bit of a calling card some people say what do you do like well I write a book that’s one thing I’m going to put some more videos out about this because the personal brand which is blog and Brandy and then you have the business sides which is brand like a boss and then you have the rving side to my business wrote a book it’s not perfect
07:43
but it’s done link to this in the description below if you want to check it out I’ve put a bunch of my resources that people ask me about and just kind of trying to learn how to write a book for once I wrote this like literally from scratch I took all of the notes that I have in my files and I put it into but the other thing about this is like it’s done and a lot of people worry about something being perfect and I had a bunch of books pre-sale out on them and then I figured that I was like
08:08
putting this pressure on myself to get them done can them what sucks is that I’ve lost the ability to do pre-sale on Amazon for a year I took a lot of stress off of me because I really want to perfect this one and I had someone amazing Neil that went through my book and proof Reddit for me so I’ve got to go back through I’m going do updates I’ve kind of like updated the cover so I’m me putting out update on this if you get the Kindle version when I make the updates they publish to it but for me it
08:35
was just really important to get this done and say this is done and then I can improve upon it because the other thing is if you never put a product out there you never get feedback and you can never make it better what else was going on up in this brain when I’ve created my RV Channel and my book part of that is monetizing your brand and monetizing my brand I do consultations building websites for people video editing helping people set up their SEO of course setting up Social planning the
09:08
content an app that I’ve been working on merchandise keychain t-shirt slogan you can create all the content in the world but if you don’t have something to sell behind the content that you’re creating then there’s no purpose which is another reason that I took a break from vlogging Briny because I needed to create some type of tangible asset product to sell not that I didn’t already have one or things that I work on if I really wanted to have a little bit more clarity when people landed on me you say like hey
09:36
what does this Shick do why can I use her why should we hang out why should I subscribe to her Channel and I made some video about how to create merchandise actually on this channel if you’re interested in that you can check that video out networking so after I’ve created all of this amazing stuff have stuff to sell and talking about it and making videos and just networking networking that’s the next step is actually like networking and saying hey here’s what I built let me tell you my
