Today I got a glimpse at organization, a glimpse at something that is going to last a while. Today I received several packages that are going to help me create some content on YouTube, grow my channel, and expand my audience. I am thrilled and today, stuffed with candy.
If you follow my YouTube channel, you know that I do candy reviews. If you don't follow my channel then, Hello. I'm Brian and I do candy reviews on YouTube. Feel free to check it out here.
Today, my package of nine Kracie Poppin Cookin kits came in and I am overly excited to get those videos out. If you don't know what those are, then allow me to explain. In simple terms, they are DIY candies from Japan. In complicated terms, they are almost impossible to read (Japanese) and can sometimes not taste very good (Yay for Powdered candy). It's a chore, but it is going to be a fun one. There are nine of them which means that I have nine weeks in total to create videos for my audience to watch. It was a challenge on my part to actually purchase these things. It cost me 41 dollars to have them shipped from Japan. I don't currently work and trust me, it felt like torture on my wallet. I can't be sure if it will do well, but here is hoping my money will be well spent.
If you have heard of Poppin Cooking, Let me know in the comments below and make sure to check out my videos on them starting tomorrow Sept 15 and continuing for 8 weeks every Tuesday.
Now on to the main event, the candy I received today. I never thought that candy would end up helping grab people's attention. I have reflected on it so many times and I am so glad that I decided to do candy videos. One video, in particular, is my German candy video that has been watched 8,000 + times. I know that to some that is not a lot, but to me it the best I have done and it gives me great pleasure to have done it. Through that video, I have answered nearly everyone's questions and even had a subscriber by the name of Michelle send me candy. I can honestly say that we are long-distance friends.
The video I made today was on candy from Colombia. I get a box from Universal Yums every month and each month it is filled with candy from a different country. I don't know much about Colombia, but I know people whose families are from there. I can relate the country with people's faces and I can recall their culture. To taste the candy and snacks they eat every day is something I never thought I would do.
I don't think I will ever get the chance to visit places like Colombia. I may never travel at all, but at least I can have the chance to get a small taste of a culture through a subscription box and maybe, if more people see my videos, a small taste from the people who know their own countries so well.
I love seeing what people have to say about the food they love and I love interacting with them and forming friendships and loyal viewers. While it hasn't changed my life, I feel that these videos have changed my perspective. I never thought that people all over the world were so passionate about the candy they ate, but they really are. It might be a challenge getting the candy and eating it can do a number on the waistline, but it's a sweet way to travel without ever leaving my apartment.
