As a mum, sometimes it can be overwhelming to juggle so many things at once. Keeping your kids, your home, and your personal life all running smoothly at the same time can feel like a circus act of spinning plates.

I’ve made a list of 5 women on YouTube who cover all areas with their awesome advice and content!

Marissa Zen – Family Minimalism

Let’s be real, a family home can be a sanctuary or a source of stress. When there are kids around, the clutter can build up – fast! Living a minimalist life could suit many a mum who wants to shed the stuff that she no longer needs. Marissa also has videos on money-saving and helpful minimalist ideas.

This Mamas House gives tips and tutorials on how to organise the family and keep everything running smoothly. Her ideas are fantastic and sure to spark some inspiration for your own brood.

Emily Lucy Rajch

Emily Lucy Rajch is the style saviour for women who feel underrepresented in clothing. Her videos showcase an endless amount of flattering outfits for those, as she puts it “with bums and tums.” Her videos are a refreshing boost to a niche that doesn’t get as much spotlight as it should.

Lara Joanna Jarvis

Just the word “finances” makes some of us shudder. Lara is a Mum of 2 who shares tips on saving money and gaining control of your finances. And she does it all in a way that’s easy to understand and seems attainable.

Wondering How to Start A YouTube Channel?

Find Your Niche

What makes your life unique? We all come from different walks in life, and we all have a story to tell. Think about what sets you apart from others, and utilise that to turn it into your channel niche. Got a special skill, or an interesting job? Jot down some ways that you could teach or inspire others on the subject. If you can think of many ways – you’ve got your niche!

Pick a Name

Now that you’ve picked your niche, you need to think of a name that will help the right viewers find you. If you want to grab viewers looking for Mum content, incorporate ‘Mum’ in the name, or your location. Alternatively, you could just use your actual name if you’re comfortable with that.

Design Your Branding

Use a platform like Canva to design an attractive banner image and your watermark. You can then add these under the ‘Branding’ tab via the ‘Customisation’ button on your YouTube channel settings.

Get Set Up For Filming

You can go all out and get yourself a good-quality DSLR or vlogging camera to film with. But, if you’re on a budget you can start off just filming on your phone. You’ll need a tripod, and perhaps a ring light, to get started.

Create your Backdrop

Find a nice spot in your home with a good backdrop for filming. Think about whether you want to use the same space every time, or switch it up! Make the setting nice with a houseplant, flowers, or use coloured paper for a professional look and contrast.

For more detail on this here’s an in-depth video on how to create a professional-looking filming backdrop.

Now that you’ve learned how to start a YouTube channel, all that’s left is to film your first video!

Don’t let insecurities hold you back, just bite the bullet and get it done! With every video, you’ll find your style more and more, until there’s no stopping you. Persist, be consistent and the subscribers will come!
