UnderratedHijabi: During quarantine I started TikTok, and I would always receive comments about starting my own YouTube channel. This has always been a thought but I was too scared and worried about what other people would think and whether I would be successful. However, I realized that you're not living life if you're not taking risks, so I took the risk and started YouTube.
I just fell in love with YouTube and what motivated me was the fact that my subscribers would express how much they loved my videos and how it brightens up their day. This positive feedback was just what I needed and it helped me continue to post and grow in my subscriber count.
UnderratedHijabi: Yes definitely true! At the beginning you're very eager and watching your subscriber count as you want to hit that 1,000 so badly. You're still at the early stage, trying to find your niche and figuring out what your audience likes and dislikes. But reaching the first million even though this is a massive accomplishment you know your audience and you've established your niche.
UnderratedHijabi: Oooh! I would probably start crying, but it would be Adele. I am obsessed with Adele and I feel like she would love a sour blastation, everyone loves a sour blastation. It's a bit sour with a hint of sweetness, amazing for summertime. Super refreshing!
UnderratedHijabi: Two, because I'm a positive person and I always leave positive comments, so I would love to showcase that on a billboard. Maybe people who comment rude and negative things might learn something. I've always been told if there is nothing nice to say, keep silent. Leaving negative comments can have an effect so please be careful what you type.
UnderratedHijabi: It is a great community to be part of, I've already learnt so much which has helped me see my videos in a different light. I can't wait to see what else I will learn.
UnderratedHijabi: Ketchup sauce, definitely it's an all rounder and it lasts longer. Everyone loves ketchup!
UnderratedHijabi: I would love to collaborate with MrBeast only because he's amazing and I feel like I would learn a lot from him.
