What We Learned in Our First Month on YouTube

   / @thisisjandj   We just wrapped up our first month on YouTube and wanted to share everything we learned along the way. Starting a YouTube channel has been quite the adventure, and we are excited to break down what the experience has been like for us so far. As we navigate starting YouTube in 2026, we are learning that growth takes patience, consistency, and a lot of trial and error. In this video, we provide a candid youtube channel update, reflecting on our progress and sharing a meaningful youtube milestone update. Documenting our small youtuber journey has taught us so much about the creative process and the realities of building an audience from scratch. Balancing this new youtuber journey while being vloggers with full time jobs hasn't always been easy, but we are committed to sharing our story. We decided to film this update as a car talk vlog. There is something about a drive and talk format that makes everything feel more natural and honest. As couple vloggers, we want our content to be as authentic as possible, keeping our channel a casual couple vlog that feels relatable to anyone else trying to find their footing online. If you have been following our progress as Jason and Jenny, or if you are new to the channel, thank you for being part of the This is J and J community. We hope our reflections on our first month on YouTube provide some insight for anyone else just starting out.
