In honor of my YouTube anniversary, I really felt like sharing more of that side of my life with you. What it's like to be on YouTube as a job, as well as some very valuable and unexpected lessons I've learned along the way so far. They apply to YouTube (of course), but I feel most of them can definitely also be helpful for those of you who aren't interested in starting a channel at all. Let me know what you think!
