Video Transcript
Last year, I had a major crisis and a huge case of imposter syndrome, which resulted in me unintentionally, yet kind of intentionally copying other viral YouTube channels' videos. And it resulted in probably one of my worst video ideas ever. I built a secret store. Like, what is this even supposed to mean? This thumbnail doesn't even make sense. And it never got posted until today. So, I had the delusional idea right now to expose my neverbeforeseen video where I just straight up copied other viral YouTube videos and tell you everything wrong with my approach. And just to challenge myself, I'll have to say three good things about the video. Spoiler alert, it will be very hard to find three good things. First thing wrong with it, the thumbnail. Just a quick background, these were the type of videos I was copying. Let me show you real quick. Today, we're building four secret rooms in one color. Today we're building three secret sports rooms in our house. Today we're building 12 secret rooms you'll never find. Today we're building four secret rooms in one color. Today we're building seven secret rooms in our house. Today I'm building a secret in my room. Today I'm building a secret movie theater in my room. Today my secret house. Today I'm going to build a secret room in school. Today I'm building a secret pool in my room. Yeah. So the secret something type videos, you know, secret 7-Eleven, secret room, secret pool. A lot of secret rooms. And if you just compare my wannabe thumbnail with theirs. Yeah, it Mhm. I would definitely rather watch theirs. Next up, the concept in general. Unfortunately, I am not rich enough to demolish my floor and build a pool. So, I resorted to an online secret store. Two out of 10. Not as exciting as a pool or zoo. Okay, now that the basics are covered, let's go on to the video itself. I had the delusional idea to build a secret store so I can finally feel like I fit in. And you might be wondering, what do you mean by fit in? The way I said fit in was just not good. Fit in. Don't listen to it again. Let's just move on. Yeah. So, you can see there's a lot of secret building. And you know what? I'll be honest. I'm feeling kind of left out. So, to try and fit in with my fellow colleagues. Get it? Cuz you know, we're all YouTubers kind of. Maybe that one. That was just a terrible joke. I'm going to build a secret store. Wait, no, I should say it like them. Today, I'm going to build a secret store in my house by myself. My first major thing that I did wrong here, I should not have mocked the YouTuber accent because I think I literally now sometimes have one. I talk in that YouTuber accent. I'm sorry. Let's go. So, here's the game plan in five steps. Step one. Here's one thing that I do like. I like how I was very organized. I was like, "All right, everyone. Here is the game plan. Step one, step two, step three, step four. Very clean and tidy." Listen, I've always loved hoodies. I love hoodies. There's something about like a good hoodie design with like some nice fun text that just gets me so excited. And I'll be honest, I've been on Hopecore Tik Tok recently. If you don't know what Hopecore is, you you got to get on it. But it's basically just like finding the joy and positivity in the little things in life and realizing how lucky we are. I still do love Hope cuz our hoodies are going to be Hope related. So, I was thinking a great name for our store is either Myora cuz it kind of rhymes with Viora. Get it? Huh? Or Safe Space. I don't know. They're both pretty cute and kind of go with the vibe that I'm going for. So, we'll see. I Right now, I'm leaning towards my aura. Sorry. Sometimes I just got to skip ahead of my own videos cuz I'm like, "Wow." Like, does she ever stop talking? Okay, step two. Now, typically when I design my merch, like my t-shirts, tote bags, hoodies, and other stuff, I like to personally draw designs for everything, but this time I wanted to experiment a little bit more with text, simpler designs, cuz I just think text would work better for this hope core kind of vibe. So, here's what we're making. One hoodie, two t-shirts, one zip sweater, and one tumbler, cuz you know, I love a good Tumblr. I still love a good Tumblr. Starting off with a hoodie, I went with a quote that I think is very important. Thinking of the bigger picture. I'm not going to lecture you on like philosophical mindsets, but you know, sometimes we we think a little bit too tunnel vision. Let's think of the larger image. Anyway, so, as you can see here, it's really easy to just format the design on the hoodie itself. Once you get the format you like, you just put in a quick description, a nice title, and then boom, here we go. First piece of clothing in our secret store is now done. Another thing that I did right in this video was using Printify to make all the t-shirts and the hoodies and everything. If you watch some of my videos, you know that I've been using Printify for a long time. They are literally the best. The hoodies and t-shirts always turn out great. I literally buy them myself. This is from Printify, and I'm not even kidding. I use this every single day. Like, I am being very, very candid with you. This video is sponsored by Printify, but genuinely I use Printify every single day. They have so many things in their catalog and genuinely one of the easiest print on demand companies that I've tried. There are no upfront costs, so you basically only pay once something sells and everything arrives on time. Good quality. Look at that. Look at that. Look at how good that is. And then the phone case, I made a phone case with them, too. Turned out so good. So, if you ever thought about designing merch, I truly recommend Printify. All you do is you just make your design and they handle everything from packaging, printing, and shipping. Just don't be like me and make your store a secret. And you know, all my YouTuber colleagues, they went with, you know, physical demolition and construction building. Because I'm kind of doing this alone and on a budget, we got to opt for a budget friendly version in comparison cuz your girl does not have enough money to do major house reconstruction. So, while we are waiting for our My Aura clothing samples to arrive, let's design our secret store. Here is the other part that went kind of wrong. Well, not really wrong, just straight up a little bit boring. Because let's just be for real with ourselves for a second. Would you rather watch someone destroy their house with cool hammers and saws and cut holes into their walls and build a pool or watch someone press connect from their online store to their clothing store? Yeah, I think the answer is quite obvious then. Like, because it was so easy to connect, literally all I just had to do was press connect. Like, how does that even compare to cool demolition? Now, here comes arguably the worst part of this video. If you thought the beginning was bad, this part just gets worse because I thought the best way to show off my secret store was through memes. Yeah, I'm not even kidding. Like, what was I even thinking? You know how these cool YouTubers showed off their secret rooms and stuff? They apparently hired like bounty hunters to try and find them in these secret rooms. Like, that is so cool. I I made memes and this took up like 10 minutes of the video. I'm not I'm not even going to make you go through that, but just imagine watching 10 minutes of me making memes. Like, that was insane. Why did I think that was a good idea? However, fast forwarding to the best part of the video, probably my favorite, which is my mom modeling the clothes from my secret store. And she's just so cute. Let's just watch this part together because this is the best part of the video. Extra large for this one. So, it is very, very baggy, very oversized. I think a better oversized fit for her would have been maybe large or even a medium. But again, you can see the color here. Fabulous. I don't know what she's doing here. She's doing a lot of spinning. I don't know why she keeps holding her arm out like that. But also, she does a one really weird modeling move in like 3 seconds. She does this weird star jump. I'm like, why? Why did you do that? But yeah, here here she is just I don't know, spinning around and doing some nice poses. 10 out of 10. Mother Vora is a model. Here's your secret message. If you don't know, I hide secret messages in all my videos. Just comment mother Viora modeling queen. And then we got the t-shirts next. Again, we got an extra large. Very oversized, very comfy, very cute. Mother being a model again. I don't know why she took out her arm like that. New modeling pose right here. And I'll admit, I was a little bit skeptical because I was just like, okay, this is actually really affordable. I don't know if it's going to like print well, but trust me, the print turned out so nice. The I don't know why she jumped like that either, but And new Oh, and she stuck out her arm like that. Again, new modeling pose, guys. Okay, what I was trying to say, the colors and the print, everything turned out really sharp, very detailed. So, I was like, huh, these are actually really good. But yeah, my mom said the t-shirts are her favorite. And I don't know. Ooh. Okay, this new modeling pose is called self hugging. Yeah, but these t-shirts again, extra large, so they are very oversized, very baggy, but she is kind of short, so the extra large might have been a little bit big for her. And the leg, okay, a true model. And she's doing more jumping, more jumping, and a lot more spinning. I think she almost fell over. And here she is modeling my favorite one, the zipped hoodie. We got this one in a large instead, so I think it fit a little bit better in terms of the oversized fit. Again, the print and the quality. Top tier. 11 out of 10. Truly was not expecting that. And if you know me, you know I love anything oversized, cute, and comfy. And this just hit every mark on the criteria. And I don't know what she's doing here. Some odd dances, a thumbs up, some more dancing, and wow. I don't know what is going on. And here are all the photos of the t-shirts and the zipped hoodie for our Pinterest marketing promo. And lastly, I didn't forget about the Tumblr, the very iconic Tumblr. I was unboxing it, but the entire time I was just like, "Oh my gosh, oh my god, this is so cute." And I was just like, "No one wants to hear this." And this is me modeling the Tumbr cup myself. I don't know why I'm holding it up like it's the savior of the world. But yeah, look at that clean printing. I Okay, I guess I am as bad as a model as my mom. Actually, no. My mom is a great model. Stop. I'm bad. Anyways, yeah, the color is fantastic. It looks great. The stay hydrated message very good cup. Great quality. So, I am very happy to move forward with these photos as well. And now we are ready to post them on Pinterest. Wasn't that so nice? Okay. Yeah, since we're finished the best part of the video, let's go on to another terrible part of the video, which is I Oh my gosh. I messaged these YouTubers that I blatantly copied and sent them the cringiest messages ever. Just like I too, okay, I have no This is probably like the cringiest thing I have ever written. Hello Alan, I too am a YouTuber of sorts and have also recently created a secret something of sorts. Spoiler alert, it's a cool store. I don't know. Let me into your cool YouTuber secret something club. Thank you. Yes, I I am cringing and he's probably going to cringe reading this if he even reads it, but you know, we just got to go for it. I can't even believe I'm showing this, but just just watch and try not to cringe. Next up, we have someone called Ben. I'm not sure how to pronounce his last name, so I'm sorry. He also has done a lot of secret rooms, so he is our second person to message. Yeah. Wow. He has done a lot. What? He has to follow me. That's the only way that I can message him. Okay. Well, okay. My message to him will be via this YouTube video. Okay. Hello, Ben. Um, please let me into your secret something YouTuber club. You seem to have the most videos of these secret rooms. I made a video, this one that you are watching right now, of a secret store. So, if there's like, you know, a secret YouTuber club, please let me in because I am now officially a secret something builder. Oh, yeah. I was trying really hard to be funny. Okay, great. Finally, that's over. Obviously, no one has responded still to this day. I mean, why would they? I do not blame them at all. And then literally that's just how I ended the video with the cringiest messages ever. I don't even know. Like I have no words. But now that that is finally over, what can we learn from my crisis and the worst video I've ever made? Number one, just just be yourself. You know, be original. Clearly, we can see here my efforts to copy other YouTubers just did not work out because it was just not really me. Number two, my mom is the best model and she looks great in these secret store clothes and she should be the next it model and oh and Printify is lovely. Check them out if you ever want to start designing merch. Number four, when having a crisis, do not doubt your creativity and hop on trends that you are not passionate about. And lastly, number five, stay organized. I feel like aside from the it model mom, the only other thing I had kind of going for me was staying organized. So yeah, now I have truly exposed one of my worst videos. And you might be wondering why post this on a random Wednesday when your normal posting schedule is on Saturday. Maybe I'm just going through another crisis and this is me just telling myself, you know, you just got to stick to your roots. Or maybe it was just me seeing a large influx of faceless AI YouTube channels and just AI stuff in general. That really just made me realize that now is the best time to show your own creativity and originality. And I know this isn't like my normal type of videos where we do a lot of fun challenges, some delusional ideas, but I feel like I just had to post this because it was a good learning opportunity, a good reflecting opportunity for me and hopefully maybe to you. And I know I was like really beating myself over for some of the cringe things I did. And it really like isn't that deep. And I don't think I'm normally that harsh on myself. I hope it came across more so as like constructive criticism, but I still tried to keep it somewhat light-hearted. I don't know. It's hard to find that balance, you know? But that is me when I tried to copy other viral YouTube channels' videos and ideas. It went very wrong. As you can see, it just it went posting this will hopefully allow others to see that, you know, we all have ups and downs as creatives. Times where we doubt our originality and creativity. So, after seeing that monstrosity of a video that I did, hopefully we all just get a little bit more confidence in our originality. I feel like I said originality like 30 times in this video. But yeah, that was my very casual, candid outro. Again, not my normal type of videos. I know. I'm sorry. We are going to be back to the scheduled delusional ideas on Saturday. I don't know. Let me know if you want more of these like casual, more vulnerable videos. I don't know. I'm kind of scared to post this, but I talked way too long, so I'm going to go now. Okay, bye. You're awesome.
