Today was planned to be a peaceful day off a week ago…then again, it was a week ago. My Columbus Day turned out to be a hectic day.
It all started Sunday morning, with an email from YouTube, who had sent me an email. They wanted to sponsor a video my mom and I made back in the day for this very blog. If any of my older readers remember, that video was “Kim Vlogs: How to Cook Bacon”. At first, I was ecstatic, as I ran to show my mom the good news. We were both very motivated then to restart the blog here and make more YouTube videos. We decided to make it a plan to spend our Columbus Day that way.
When Columbus Day came today, all was well. It was a day off, so we were able to sleep in. (finally!) Then it came time for us to sign up for our YouTube partnership. We were just about to apply, when we realized our video contained copywritten music at the end, so we weren’t able to submit the video, because the content needs to be ALL ours. That was a huge disappointment to my mom and I. We had to post a new version of the video up that didn’t have music at the end. Now we’re just waiting to get the views on the video up again so we can apply for partnership soon. YouTube partnership is a huge dream of mine, and I look forward to a future of having such a fun job! If you would like to help us get the views back up on our newly posted version of “Kim Vlogs: How to Cook Bacon”, or you just want to learn how to cook bacon, check out the video below.
After posting this new version of the bacon video, I frantically signed into WordPress to rebuild the blog. How do you like the new theme and banner? After a hectic day, I’m happy to say that I am back to blog, and here to stay! Look forward to new videos and future stories of myself and my mom.
