I got some many encouraging comments where you congratulate me on being a mentor. This blogger school indeed was a big thing for me and this wouldn’t happen if I didn’t have this channel with such supportive viewers. Thank you guys, your support is what helps me to keep going! 💜
Hello from New Zealand, I enjoy watching your content it's similar to Bald and Bankrupt's videos, I notice on your IG you call yourself Blond and Bankrupt hehe ;-)
It is funny you were nervous speaking in front of a small room of people, but you don't look shy speaking on this video, now with 95,000 views : ) Your videos have the look of a travel log show, but done in a zen manner, so much in the present time. Keep up the good work and as we say on the USA "fake it til you make it". Looking forward to you doing videos "on the road" after you get your license.
You know... I somehow see a dangerous aspect of your videoblog - since I'm sure that an enormous amount of people have and will fall in love with you! :D in a way I experience some "father concerns" about you (though I'm not that old yet :D) - being an object of so much attention from millions of people. You are already influencial and with the popularity your power to draw new directions and meet opportunities grows :)
I love you Natasha, and only want your happiness to grow. I thought this was great, and suspect the book he recommends at (4:39) may be helpful and enjoyable for you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NpVfwjFX3Tg.html
Don't underestimate blogging Natasha. RU-vid is bigger than TV in almost every country. And you're basically an independent journalist. I know some bloggers choose to be clowns but we don't have to be that way. I've been a businessman for 10 years and let me tell you blogging is a lot more fun:)
Exactly. I've been publishing a zine since 1998 which is a completely independent publication. I don't make money out of it but to me i consider it almost like a "newspaper" of personal takes on things that concern me or what i see in the world. That was before RU-vid erxisted or i had a camera. It's really good to have voices that are not filtered by media organizations but are just the perspective of one informed, interested and intelligent person such as Natasha. I can be discouraging to see how a lot of viral videos are such stupid stuff, but the intelligent channels find a huge following as well and you are a proof of it ❤️
Are there any indy journalists? The media is so tightly controlled these days I doubt it. You're limited in what you can say on this section too. I've just had two posts do a "Dyatlev Pass" on me (or "Bermuda Triangle")... Both of them including info from a mainstream science mag. Samizdat is the only solution these days.
Definitely! I have been making videos about Russia for 4 years. I guess it takes somebody like Natasha to get people interested in Russia. Can I ask, before you knew how amazing she is, what made you click on her video?
@@SamsRussianAdventures I think the first time was just the thumbnail and or the title. I kept coming back and subscribed because of her authentic common humanity.
Hi Antonio, Natasha is amazingly charming, she is like the underdog and we all want the underdog to succeed. Can I ask, what was it that initially made you click on the first video? The reason I ask is because I have a channel about Russia with over 200 videos and I just thought that maybe nobody was interested in Russia, but then here is Natasha with Millions of views!
Natasha, what makes you so great as a blogger is your ability to take every day life so interesting and informative, to look at little things and share them, and to express how you feel openly, sincerely, and with kindness. In short you are a very loveable person, the type of person that could easily be a best friend to many other people. Thank you for sharing your life with the world!
She is an artist, as İ commented in one of her previous videos. Film school is not really necessary though. She can work in any medium, she is a talented story teller. İ noticed that there are some vloggers who are really talented story tellers on youtube, they could have been filmmakers, writers, before the age of the internet. But İ really like this medium because it reveals many more talented people than before the age of the net.
I agree, she is very good. I feel as if she is talking only to me, it's a quality that she has. I'm keen to learn what it was that prompted you to click on the very first video that you watched of Natasha. I've been building my channel about Russia for many years and have yet to find that ingredient that has seen so many people click to watch.
Its super interesting to see Russia from a regular Russian perspective. Beyond politics we’re all just people with the same needs and joys. Regular Russians are awesome.
Natasha is amazing. I'm doing research for my own channel. I have been blogging about Russia for 4 years but have not encountered the same success as her. Can I ask you, What was is that tempted you to click on the first video?
@@SamsRussianAdventures I think the first video got recommended to me because of her travel outside Russia video. Recommendations is key, once you get on the right side of the Google algorithm you're in.
@@SamsRussianAdventures In my case it was the thumbnail of her video, she looked very attractive so I clicked on it. I then found out her English is quite good which makes it easy for me to enjoy her videos and I like the way she shows us her country, and she just seems really nice and interesting so I've been watching her videos ever since.
*You are really coming into your own Natasha. This is your time now. Everything is converging. Life will only get better for you.* Best Wishes from Colin in Edinburgh 😀
A pity the world is going to the dogs. Edinburgh is full of signs saying "stay safe", when I feel less safe than I have in my entire lifetime, and not from the bug. Then there are those silly bollards everywhere. You can barely drive, walk or cycle around the place.
Natasha is incredible. Can you help me? I'm doing research for my own channel. I have been blogging about Russia for 4 years but have not encountered the same success as her. Can I ask you, What was is that tempted you to click on the first video?
I enjoy your updates. I live in both Las Vegas and San Diego. You demystify Russia for me and humanize the country. I hope your country members are proud of you. I know I am. Good job.
When people say “Natasha is a natural”, I think they mean that you make it look easy. It is common when we watch someone who is very skilled. In the US we had a baseball player named Ted Williams who was one of the greatest hitters at bat. Everyone said he was a natural. So finally when a reporter came to his house to interview him, he took the reporter down into the basement to show him where he had hung a baseball from a wood beam. This was where he had practiced swinging his bat a million times. Hard work sometimes pays off by building skills.
I'm loving your videos, all the "little things" you show while you move around the city and how you share your feeling about your life and everything around you. You are a real "genuine person" in world of so many "fakes" and that is one of the most appealing things about your videos, keep up the good work and best wishes from Colorado.
I think my favorite part of this channel is it seems like I’m watching a good person do better and become more fulfilled in life as time goes by. I really like watching you do well and be happy.
Yes! She has created a persona without perhaps trying to create one! She is the underdog and we all want the underdog to succeed. Her channel is not about life in Russia. Her channel is about her life and she just happens to live in Russia. So we are not taught about Russia but we get to learn about Natasha. This is something that she has created which is amazing. I have been blogging about Russia for 4 years and only because of Natasha I have been able to understand this. She has received success so quickly and it is so incredible.
To take the stress out of public speaking - pick one person in the audience (only for a couple of seconds!) and speak as if you were talking to that person only. Then pick another one just for a couple of seconds and so on. Not only does that relax you more, it also makes your presentation much more personable. Keep up the good work! 👊😎 (fistbump)
That is the best advice anyone can give. I had to give speeches, though only around 1500 people, which you usually can't see faces beyond the first two or three rows so picking different people is perfect.
Some years ago, I took a job teaching adult computer people how to use particular database software. I wasn't terribly comfortable speaking in front of people at that point but my employers sent me to a "train the trainer" course. The instructor there advised us to overcome discomfort about speaking by pretending that are audience was sitting there naked. That was probably useful to me once or twice as I was getting started so I thought I should share it here. I think the thing to do to prepare yourself is to know the material you are going to present. You don't need to memorize it but you should have a good idea what you want to say. That will help calm you. The other advice I would give is not to worry too much: the world isn't going to end because you don't give a brilliant presentation. If you are truthful in your presentation, you will surely give your audience useful information and earn your fee.
What I appreciate most of all is that you actually bother to do this. It seems like many Russians feel misunderstood by people in the west, in particular Americans, and they just throw up their hands and say "Why bother? Forget it, they'll never understand, there is no point!" You document things as they occur, you get out and meet people and you seem to by and large do it from a neutral perspective. I appreciate that.
Natasha is incredible. Can you help me? I'm doing research for my own channel. I have been blogging about Russia for 4 years but have not encountered the same success as her. I love Natasha's charisma and how she makes interesting stories out of nothing. Can I ask you, What was is that tempted you to click on the first video?
@@SamsRussianAdventures Honestly? The simplicity. There didn't seem to be any political agenda involved, there wasn't any kind of clickbait title, no top ten, yadda yadda, it was just her walking around her hometown and showing things as they happened. There are few things so unique in this world as a walking first person perspective. Factor in that this is also not staged, meaning anything can happen, and it's always going to be a different experience.
I think Boutique magazine will sell many issues when your interview is included. Please share the story and pictures when it comes out. You are a star! 😎 🌟🔥🔥
Hi Charlie, I have to admit, she is amazing. Natasha has a way of talking which makes the simple things seem interesting. She could soothe a headache. I'm interested to know what made you click on the very first video of hers. I have been blogging about Russia for a number of years and I'm still yet to find that thumbnail which makes so many people click.
@@SamsRussianAdventures I honestly can’t remember why I clicked on her thumbnail. Maybe another question would be why someone continues to watch a video once they have clicked on it. When RU-vid floats a post on my feed I can usually tell within a few seconds or minutes if I will watch the whole thing. Very few make the cut. I immediately liked Natasha for her humor, smarts, unpretentiousness and subject matter of a person going about her daily life in Russia.
She is amazing! This video alone will get more views than my entire channels videos put together for the last 3 years! It seems people are interested in Russia, they just need to watch a sweet girl show it to them.
It is nice that you were asked to speak at this. Nice to think of it as people respect your work and what you have done because they want to learn from you. It is nice compliment.
Blogging has come so naturally to her. She has received success really quickly, maybe that is why she was stressed over blogging. It has just taken place with no battle. I have been blogging regarding Russia for over 4 years as well as the youtube algorithm has actually not ben as kind to me as it has actually been to her. Can I ask, what was it that attracted you to click Natasha's video clip, prior to you recognized how fantastic she is?
It's a great feeling when you stop being the student and find now you have something to teach others. You always find interesting things about your city to say and show. I'm always impressed at how you can speak to a camera as if you're talking to a person standing there. It makes your videos seem a lot more personal. You have a great deal you could teach other vloggers to help them.
Definitely! She is a natural! I wish I had this charisma. I wish I knew why so many people clicked on her first video, before they knew her. I would replicate that on my thumbnails and hope to get as many views as her.
I think people want to see the little things of life and you do this well . It brings comfort for me and others to see simple day to day things and places not have to be wonderful places like the Hermitage lol. Just simple you have large appeal with viewers plus you are beautiful woman as well
Yes! it's amazing! Very difficult for me not to be a tad jealous of her success. I'm into my 4th year making videos about Russia and can only dream of the success that Natasha has encountered in such a short time.
It is impressive exactly how well her channel has actually done in such a brief space of time. She has actually done something which is really various to most people that vlog concerning Russia, she hasn't vlogged concerning Russia! Yet concerning herself. She has actually shared her anxieties and also vulnerabilities and also it so occurs that she is likewise in Russia. I have actually been gaining from her as well as I hope my channel will quickly remove also. I have been vlogging for 4 years but I have actually not attained the success of Natasha.
Natasha is astonishingly charming, she resembles the underdog as well as all of us want the underdog to prosper. Can I ask, what was it that initially made you click the first video clip? The reason I ask is due to the fact that I have a channel about Russia with over 200 videos and I simply assumed that maybe nobody wanted Russia, yet after that right here is Natasha with Countless views!
What is it that makes Natasha’s videos do great!!!? Is it these little things! RU-vid has been showing this channel to everyone lately and it is growing like crazy! Have you been searching for content about Russia?
You are bringing this on another level. You are making something from nothing. So glad for you. Just be brave and through experience you will get better. Get organized. Salute.
To me, what makes your videos and your channel so fun and interesting is that you are so you. You don't put on phony pretenses. You're so honest about your experiences and feelings in such a natural way it allows many people around the world to connect with you on a personal level. All the best to you
Thank you Natasha. I’ve told you previously that you should consider journalism as a foreign correspondent and now I can see it. You belong in front of the camera, on stage, TV station or something like that. Let’s face it, you’re a natural. keep up the good work.
Natasha has a way of making ordinary things become interesting. Her voice is so soothing. I'm interested to know what made your first click on her videos? I have been blogging about Russia for a number of years and I just presumed that not many people were interested in Russia.
@@SamsRussianAdventures I was just surfing and came across her. My interest was immediately drawn to her "dry humor" in describing everyday topics. I believe her innocent descriptions of everyday objects is refreshing and every time she mentions her visit to Hawaii she gets this faraway look on her face and I know exactly what she's thinking about and feeling.
@@SamsRussianAdventures I found this channel through my interest in comparing different countries' firefighting equipment and tactics. The poor condition of the homes, cities, and equipment caught my attention and wanted to see if it was just regional in Russia. I found Natasha's channel through her Vladivostok video. I appreciate her simple quirky videos that have an explorative and curious outlook. I also enjoy her presentation style as if she is a social chaperone explaining to me as a visiting foreigner about how things are. I sought out and found other recommend Russian RU-vidrs like Eli from Russia and Dan Sheekoz whose focus is similar and it just became another interest to explore.
You are amazing, a natural! I have been uploading videos to my channel for 3 years and nobody was interested in anything about Russia! Then you came along and everyone loves all the things you show! Well done! Congratulations!
@@SamsRussianAdventures, Yes, I watch the teens sing and dance. Check out my Russian Teens Playlist for about 43 videos from the performing arts academies. I am in the USA and I like Russia more now than ever because of these talented teenagers. They inspire and uplift the whole world with their great music and dance.
t's great to be publicly acknowledged for your success. I can only fantasize about this right now. I doubt that Natasha also had time to fantasize regarding it, she got success on youtube so swiftly, so she possibly didn't have much to state concerning titles, keywords etc. ... I think she might talk even more concerning content since it has actually made her successful. I have actually been blogging regarding Russia for 4 years as well as made hundreds of videos, however I'm yet to get any such success. I hope that simply one of my videos will get clicked a great deal and I will be able to evaluate what I did in different ways.
Yes! it is amazing how some youtube channels grow so fast. I wish I knew that magic ingredient. I have been watching Natasha and trying to learn from her. I love how she lets us know a lot about her and she has created the underdog scenario which has us all rooting for her in every day situations. Have you been interested in Russia for a long time? The reason I ask is because I have been blogging about Russian life for many years and I'm interested to understand the audience.
You've accomplished so much Natasha; and now you are sharing that knowledge. You are a natural in front of the camera; your tours around the city; just doing simple life chores i.e. getting your Driver's License, visiting the market; give a view of everyday life in Russia. And of course, Russia's beauty and history in some of your earlier videos. I started watching your channel out of curiosity about Russia. But never thought it would be this interesting and it's because of 'you' and your unique ability to make each video an arm-chair tour of places I'll never get to visit. Thank you for sharing your life. I'm sure your future is going to be successful.
Yes! This was very important for you! The practice of presenting a coherent point of view is always a good thing. Also, all the networking you accomplished was good. Keep getting involved, make yourself available to do more of these type of events! Good job! 👍👍🙏🌹
It is amazing how well her channel has done in such a short space of time. She has done something which is very different to most people who vlog about Russia, she hasn't vlogged about Russia! But about herself. She has shared her fears and vulnerabilities and it just so happens that she is also in Russia. I have been learning from her and I hope my channel will soon take off too. I have been vlogging for 4 years but I have not achieved the success of Natasha.
Authenticity! This is what puts you above the vast majority of RU-vid bloggers. I consistently go to your channel for the authenticity. Thank you for being you.
She is incredible. I have to admit that I am a little bit envious. Her channel blew up so promptly. I have greater than 200 videos over a 4 year period about life in Russia, yet I never encountered the success that Natasha has actually found, and also in such a brief period. Can I ask you, what made you choose to view the very first video clip of hers? Before you understood how fantastic she is?
I think you did great. Don’t minimize your accomplishment, it truly is a big step forward, and always remember that what may be easy for some can be quite difficult for another. Keep shining, you are a bright star!
Natasha is incredible. One of the things I like best about her is that she tells her story. I feel like I know lot's about her and her videos feel unplanned and yet flow like they are planned. Can you help me? I'm doing research for my own channel. I have been blogging about Russia for 4 years but have not encountered the same success as her. I love Natasha's charisma and how she makes interesting stories out of nothing. Can I ask you, What was is that tempted you to click on the first video?
@@SamsRussianAdventures I think I was tempted because her thumbnail picture reminded me of Natalie Moore (Solnyshko) from Saint Petersburg. She played Bass using Rocksmith on RU-vid and Twitch. Natalie also did some walking tours of her city and other places nearby. The guitar/bass theme in the algorithm has also introduced me to Audrey123talks in Japan which posts every day and has great variety. But I'll keep watching Natasha. I subscribed and always give her thumbs up. Off to check out your channel now.
Haha I think secretly you are hoping for this scenario. I think that she’s a great storyteller and it’s interesting to know how much of what she says is planned or whether it’s completely unscripted. It always comes across as unscripted which is a great talent to have.
Just keep doing what you are doing Natasha, and don't change who you are. You have a following because something about you is unique and people resond to that. Things will start to happen for you if you just keep at it and embrace opportunity. But no matter what you do, don't change. Keep being yourself.
It's great to be publicly acknowledged for your success. I can just dream concerning this today. I doubt that Natasha also had time to fantasize regarding it, she received success on youtube so swiftly, so she most likely didn't have much to claim regarding titles, search phrases and so on ... I think she might talk even more concerning material because it has actually made her successful. I have been blogging about Russia for 4 years as well as made thousands of videos, but I'm yet to obtain any such success. I hope that simply one of my videos will obtain clicked on a lot and I will have the ability to analyse what I did differently.
Congratulations on your latest accomplishments Natasha. It's nice to see that you are being recognized by your community. You deserve it. As an American in Ukraine, I enjoy seeing your views on life in Russia spoken in English. Thank you and keep up the good work.
I think your honesty and good taste has blessed you with a lot of viewers. I can’t believe you almost gave us a smile right at the end of the video. You have more good things in your future. Enjoy and smile!
It's amazing the success she has received in the short amount of time! She is incredible! I've made over 200 videos about Russia and nobody ever noticed.
Yes! She has created a persona without perhaps trying to create one! She is the underdog and we all want the underdog to succeed. Her channel is not about life in Russia. Her channel is about her life and she just happens to live in Russia. So we are not taught about Russia but we get to learn about Natasha. This is something that she has created which is amazing.

12:09 We used to call these trolley buses in the UK. Trams run on tracks, sometimes in the road, sometimes away from it. We took out all our trams and trolley buses, but then about twenty years ago we started putting new trams back in.
Hi Richard, I don’t remember our trolley buses but trams seem to have reappeared. Can I ask, what initially attracted you to Natasha’s channel? Before you knew how great it is. I ask because I’m researching for my own channel. I’ve been making content for many years about Russia, but nobody ever seemed to be interested
What is so engaging and charming is just you being yourself, Natasha. Like,' oh my God, look at this guys.... the moon', said in your beautiful whispy Russian voice.
You have put together something that takes the viewer into life in your city, in your usual well-judged way. What stands out in this video is all the positivity and your reflection on some of the good things happening in your life. Your regular viewers should be delighted to find you in this frame of mind after your rocky period a few months ago. Certainly I am. Be confident, stay strong - I hope your illness passes quickly and that life continues to bring you good times.
I think it is the underdog feeling. We are all rooting for her to succeed. I think back to her first video and how it somehow got picked up by the youtube algorithm. What was it about that first thumbnail that made everyone click! I have been making videos about life in Russia for 4 years and nobody seemed to care about it.
Natasha is incredible. One of the things I like best about her is that she tells her story. I feel like I know lot's about her and her videos feel unplanned and yet flow like they are planned.

@@SamsRussianAdventures I dont remember her first video that I watched, but once I watched her videos I couldn't stop. For background I grewup in rural America and knew nothing about Russia. In college I started reading some Russian classics and instantly became obsessed with the culture. Natasha is one of the only Russian bloggers I watch because Spassks reminds me of home, and we are the same age and both didn't like university, I also have failed my driving exams. I still find it weird that I relate so much to a women is eastern Russia but im fascinated by her channel.
@@TheMazyProduction That is one thing that I really like about Natasha. She blogs about her life, not about Russia. She just happens to live in Russia,
Smart woman. Seemingly local and small efforts, although an ability to reach a huge audience. You bring very much happiness and warmth to others through your videos, it is difficult to realize this though.
Congratulations on being a mentor and your successful presentations at the bloggers school. Public speaking is something you have to get used to. The more you do it, the better and more relaxed you become. Good job!
Public speaking can be horrible! I could speak about the youtube struggle. I have been making videos about life in Russia for many years but the Algorithm is yet to favour me. I am learning a lot from Natasha is sprung to success overnight. I like her blogging style. She doesn't blog about Russia, she blogs about herself, she just happens to live in Russia
RU-vid is a fascinating platform. She hasn't been blogging long and also her channel appeared to simply take off over night. What made you originally watch that initial video clip? I have actually been battling with youtube for a variety of years now as well as have actually created 200 videos about Russia, but I never ever obtain the kind of views that Natasha obtains. She is impressive though!
I would certainly say she is a phenomenon! She received over 100,000 views on her very initial video clip! I have actually been making videos regarding Russia for 3 years and no one it seemed was interested at all.
Hello from Fort Worth, Texas, USA. I appreciate your insights & videos into life in Far Eastern Russia. What seems strange is how your cities & cars & commerce & everything looks almost the same as here (except for the weird writing) & the Russian people act & live nearly the same as here (except halfway around the world). I guess you're showing how we humans can be so different but also so alike at the same time, wherever we are.
She is fantastic. I need to confess that I am a little envious. Her channel exploded so rapidly. I have more than 200 videos over a 4 year period regarding life in Russia, however I never came across the success that Natasha has found, as well as in such a brief period. Can I ask you, what made you select to enjoy the very first video of hers? Before you understood exactly how remarkable she is?
You are a natural, do not believe you can really teach what to do, apart from being an inspiration. People feel you are the 'genuine article', there is nothing more to it. Love from Holland and please do not change.
Natasha is exceptionally lovely, she is like the underdog as well as we all want the underdog to be successful. Can I ask, what was it that at first made you click the initial video clip? The reason I ask is due to the fact that I have a channel regarding Russia with over 200 videos and also I just believed that possibly nobody wanted Russia, however after that below is Natasha with Millions of views!
I find Russia very interesting, it is so close and yet so far away, that made me click her vids initially. After that I came back for more because of her style, which is classy without too many antics (except standing in the water) or funny expressions, that get old very soon I believe.
@@janvanwees8143 I have to admit that I love her style. I'm sure sure plans the topics of the video but they come across as unplanned and she has created the underdog scenario, whether she intended to or not. We follow the hero's journey as she tackles the everyday struggles of normal life.
It's great to be publicly recognised for your success. I can only dream about this right now. I doubt that Natasha even had time to dream about it, she received success on youtube so quickly, so she probably didn't have much to say about titles, keywords etc....

t's terrific to be publicly acknowledged for your success. I can only fantasize regarding this now.

I presume she can speak even more concerning web content because it has actually made her successful. I have been blogging about Russia for 4 years as well as made numerous videos, however I'm yet to obtain any type of such success. I wish that just one of my videos will certainly obtain clicked a whole lot and I will be able to analyse what I did in a different way.
I have noticed that shopping videos about Russia are very popular. I will make my next video about shopping. I have made over 200 videos about Russia but none of them have been as successful as Natasha.
Natasha, I love your videos! You help the world understand Russian culture and people. You do it in a way that is so intelligent and humble and I have a huge amount of respect and appreciation for you. Thank you! (from Virginia, USA)
I agree, she is unbelievable. I'm glad that we have such an incredible individual to reveal Russia to the globe. I'm really hopeless to gain from her. I have actually been making youtube videos regarding Russia for a variety of years but I'm yet to have the kind of success of Natasha. What do you assume made you click her video, before you understood exactly how great she is?
It's amazing just how swiftly she has actually gotten success and I am so honored that due to her, individuals are seeing Russia. She is a terrific representative for the nation. RU-vid can be really tough as well as aggravating. I have actually been blogging about Russia for many years, without succeeding. I am now learning from Natasha.
Thank you. You do great work and show everyone a side of Russia that is not just from Moscow , Novosbobiesk, or St. Petersburg and from a perspective of someone in University. Good job.
I knew that the thing that Natasha does ideal is that her channel is not a channel regarding Russia yet it is a channel about her and also her everyday battles. It just so occurs that she lives in Russia. This is something that I have gained from her. I have been making videos about Russia for many years as well as I am beginning to comprehend more about what makes her successful. I assume she has actually done this naturally without trying to make videos a certain means. Some people obtain things right instantly and also others get things incorrect, over and over until they strike gold. Thanks to Natasha I am starting to recognize just how to come to be a better blog owner and now having made over 200 videos about Russia, perhaps currently youtube's algorithm will certainly be kinder to me!
I realised that the thing that Natasha does best is that her channel is not a channel about Russia but it is a channel about her and her daily struggles. It just so happens that she lives in Russia. This is something that I have learned from her. I have been making videos about Russia for many years and I am beginning to understand more about what makes her successful. I think she has done this naturally without trying to make videos a particular way. Some people get things right straight away and others get things wrong, over and over until they strike gold. Thanks to Natasha I am beginning to understand how to become a better blogger and now having made over 200 videos about Russia, maybe now youtube's algorithm will be kinder to me!
Congrats on being noticed for your accomplishments!!! You're a good friend & mentor!!! I like your videos because you present yourself as genuine & have good sense of humor!!! Spasibo!!!
Natasha is extraordinary. One of things I like most concerning her is that she tells her story. I seem like I recognize lot's regarding her and her videos feel unexpected as well as yet flow like they are intended. Can you aid me? I'm doing research for my own channel. I have actually been blogging about Russia for 4 years however have not run into the very same success as her. I like Natasha's charisma and how she makes fascinating stories out of nothing. Can I ask you, What was is that tempted you to click on the very first video?
Congrats on your teaching, and the interview. It is great that you can share some of what you’ve learned. Next you can teach them how to have such a charming, and magnetic personality.
I agree, she is incredible. I'm glad that we have such an amazing person to show Russia to the world. I'm really desperate to learn from her. I have been making youtube videos about Russia for a number of years but I'm yet to have the type of success of Natasha. What do you think made you click on her video, before you knew how great she is?
@@SamsRussianAdventures I subscribed on that weekend when her subscribers jumped from 4K to 12k. It was because the YT algorithm chose to suggest her videos everywhere. I suppose it was because she is very beautiful to me. Her humble nature, sense of humor, and film making skills hooked me. Her beauty only increases.
I remember a day when I was asked to speak to a packed University about Tourism in Russia (Which I know nothing about) And to speak in Russian! My legs were shaking so much!!!!
Yes! it is incredible just how some youtube channels expand so fast. I want I recognize that magic component. I have been watching Natasha and trying to pick up from her. I like just how she lets us recognize a lot concerning her as well as she has actually developed the underdog situation which has all of us rooting for her in every day situations. Have you been intrigued in Russia for a long time? The reason I ask is because I have actually been blogging regarding Russian life for several years and also I'm interested to comprehend the target market.
Her attitude is incredible. I love that she has just been herself, without planning to make her videos a certain way and she just stubbled upon the blueprint for success. It is incredible when you think how many channels are on youtube and are desperately trying to be noticed and pick up views. Natasha is a phenomenon in that respect. I have been vlogging for 4 years about life in Russia and I have not received this type of success.
@@SamsRussianAdventures I agree. She has a natural talent. She doesn't have to try. People see her personality, and are attracted. I hope she never changes her attitude. I will check out your channel too.
You do a great job, Natasha! Your english is very good. No problem understanding you at all. You have a wonderful personality and a cute sense of humor. Keep up the good work!
you're the winner!!!! you do everyday people and life in Russia... when I watch I get the feel of what's its like to be there and your life and what your thinking... I'm always wondering what you'll do next
She is incredible. Her youtube channel just took off from the very first video. I have been making videos about Russia for 4 years and it never gets many views. What made you click on her first video?
For whatever reason, her video was recommended by RU-vid. What really intrigued me was the title: “My House”. Someone in far eastern Russia is going to take me inside the house she grew up in and show me around?!? Fascinating!! No way I WASN’T watching that video. What I saw was that…it was so similar to…I grew up in the United States and saw more similarities than differences. And her cat was pretty cool.
@@jason-cq8ps it’s very interesting 🤔 I was researching possible titles for future videos and what is interesting is that the titles Natasha used are not the most popular but she gets lots of views. Thanks for the insights.
Вы - идеальное сочетание гения и очень тяжелого труда -- (genius + hard work) Your vlogs keep getting better--they come alive and are also like fine dining. Your show is better than television. I think that mostly you are showing things in a most honest way, and that is like a gem shining in the darkness. Not only that, you have a natural and great way of mixing fun, comedy, mystery, seriousness, play, etc., that embellish a vlog chock-full of interesting subject matter. I think you are also a natural teacher. Спасибо большое.
I find it fascinating that these other bloggers have their own topics they like to cover on, especially the ones who won the awards. 👏 Why is that? Because they're not relying on some popular trend to jump on in order to "get famous and be successful." They have their own interests, hobbies, or whatever they specialize on and they just show what they like to do. Just something unique that they themselves can explain well, all in their own words, and sharing it mostly with people of common interest. THIS is something I truly appreciate from people who do that. I often see a bunch of copycats trying to act exactly like someone who's already proven successful just to try to get attention, and that's just not it. NOT THE WAY. I'm super glad you mentioned to them they need to find their niche and stick with it. I absolutely agree! I had told someone about a week ago exactly that (when asked how to get big on RU-vid). Honestly, who'd want to see the same ol' thing over & over? An over saturation of a hot trend can kill it off. I think people would agree to this. Besides, I like to see genuineness and uniqueness, NOT someone who follows what the media wants or dictates (a reason I don't watch TV and instead watched RU-vid since 2006). New hot trends can be created by these unique topics if presented well and interesting. Tricky but it can happen. An interesting example of that is you, Natasha! How in the world did your Spassk video not only get popular but also opened the doors for people to find you and like what you do? Who knows, but obviously you felt thankful. Now, more people are more curious about Russia. See what you did to us!? Your influence was just too contagious, Natasha. haha :P Anyway, just wanted to share my two cents (share my thoughts) since I appreciated what y'all bloggers did. Truly interesting! PS: I hope you've recovered from your sickness. 🙂
Blogging has come so naturally to her. She has received success very fast, maybe that is why she was worried about blogging. It has just happened without any struggle. I have been blogging about Russia for over 4 years and the youtube algorithm has not ben as kind to me as it has been to her. Can I ask, what was it that attracted you to click on Natasha's video, before you knew how amazing she is?
@@SamsRussianAdventures Well, it was back in February, she just popped up in the front page of my RU-vid. Usually what videos show up are mostly related to genres/topics I've seen lately, and I remember that time, I was not watching any videos relating to Russia/Russian stuff, not since late 2017, when FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 was still a hot topic. So I don't know how her Spassk video showed up out of nowhere, but that was my first video that I watched from her. And no lie, I was tempted to not watch it bc 1) I was watching other related topics and 2) I knew if I started watching anything Russian-related, I was going to binge-watch them nonstop. I've had an interest in Russia, it's language and culture since I was a little kid, so I had a long time interest about it. But the thumbnail used for Spassk video, I just had to watch bc I knew it wasn't photoshopped (her in a frozen lake just relaxing doing a peace sign). And I don't regret watching that video. It was deep and relatable. Why relatable? Bc I also come from a small town, lived a small town life, and whatnot. Plus, the video itself was professionally done, it ended up being a nice video to watch after work before going to sleep for another day of work. After video ended, I saw she had more Russian-related videos, and especially learn Russian alphabet, which was a huge plus for me and eventually had me interested learn Russian. I made sure the following days to check out her other videos after work. I don't regret it at all. Who knew that my interest in Russia since I was a kid was going to turn out to be an adventure of some kind after watching her video. Why do I say adventure? Well, after that video, I continued to watch her, then I started seeing suggested videos that were Russian-related, and I branched off from there. Fast-forward to next month (March), I had covid, was in quarantine, and it was the best time for me to dwell into watching all kinds of Russian stuff. Part of what happened that time was finding Zangieff again after late 2017 when he was a super small channel of way less than 100 subs, and now, he's grown and now has had few collaborations with Natasha and other RU-vidrs, which seems like they will collab again this Sunday. There had been other Russian RU-vidrs who later did collabs or had communications with each other that partially led to broader type of content and/or improved content. Pretty much, fellow Russians helping each other out. 🤝 Part of how it happened was word of mouth from viewers mentioning to a Russian RU-vidr about another Russian RU-vidr, and I volunteered to be part of that. 👍 And it's great to see how all the magic worked out. Just sit back and enjoy! 😎🍿 haha But yeah, in summary, I don't know how RU-vid's algorithm works either, but I figured I'd answer your question with this story from a point of view of a viewer in order to try to possibly give you some idea or clues on how the YT algorithm "works." I guess I can say I'm just part of a small demographic that has a huge interest in Russian stuff. Nice to see that you mentioned you blogged about Russia. Gonna have to check your content later. 🙂
It’s so interesting that you say you don’t see this as a long-term job. Being a RU-vidr is so many young people’s long-term ambition in places like the UK and US, and here you are with a quarter of a million subscribers, doing it so casually. The algorithm brought me to your channel recently. I hope you keep growing and do do this long-term. It’s a special kind of freedom not to have to work for someone else.
Hi Paul, have you been watching videos about Russia for long? What made you click on Natasha’s video initially? I’m researching for my own channel. I’ve been blogging about Russia for many years and Natasha has gained almost overnight success. I’m keen to get some insights.
@@SamsRussianAdventures Hi Sam, I watch a few Russian focussed channels (mainly Bald and NFKRZ). I think the first video of Natasha's I watched mentioned "the far East of Russia" or something similar and this is an area I knew very little about. After that first video I was impressed with her attitude and her content was the kind of down to earth, real style that I enjoy so I subscribed and carried on watching. Good luck with your channel - I'll definitely check it out.
Thank you for the video!!! I love them! You are a very good vlogger and journalist. Keep up the good work! I sit on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one!
I concur, she is incredible. I'm glad that we have such an amazing individual to reveal Russia to the world. I'm really hopeless to gain from her. I have actually been making youtube videos about Russia for a variety of years but I'm yet to have the kind of success of Natasha. What do you believe made you click on her video, prior to you understood just how fantastic she is?
At Universities in the UK 🇬🇧 we have presentations from first year on. By the time I did my Masters Degree I was so comfortable doing speeches etc. I’m happy the week got easier for you. Lovely video, so nice to see a street market alive with people. Nice, that people in your city are interviewing you. When that happens you know your channel is a success. Keep up the good work 👍👍
Hi Gary. I'm doing research. My Russian channel is 4 years old and I have over 200 videos but I never get views like Natasha. Can you remember what made you click on her video, before you knew what she was like?
@@SamsRussianAdventures Hi Sam, how are you? I had an interest in Vladivostok. Because when I was young my football team played a team from Vladivostok. So they travelled from the UK to the other side of the world 🌎 So when I came across Natasha’s channel the first video I saw was the one on Vladivostok. Natasha speaks perfect English and it’s very easy to follow her. When I started following her channel she had very little followers, but she grew her channel. She was also a poor student at University and I can remember those days 😂 she also spent an exchange term at a US Uni. I reside in Canada 🇨🇦 now, but Minneapolis where she studied is only one hour by plane for me. I want to travel to the Far East of Russia 🇷🇺 sometime in the future, so I enjoy watching Natasha’s adventures around the area. I also like people with a good heart and you just know Natasha is a kind person with a good heart ❤️ I will check out your channel though. Best advice would be to keep going. Just be yourself and people will respond. Since I’m off today. I’ll check out your channel very soon. All the best, Garry.
@@garrymcleod8916 wow! That is really interesting! I’d say that I can relate to Natasha because of the memories I have at this coming of age period of my life and the worries we had at that age. Fascinating about the football experience. I’m yet to travel to Vladivostok. I remember that her channel grew very quickly. Within a few videos.
It's never fun! It does get easier though, especially if you are more knowledgeable about the topic than the people in the audience. Have you been a fan of Russia for long?
Yes! it is impressive just how some youtube channels expand so quickly. I wish I knew that magic component. I have been seeing Natasha and attempting to learn from her. I enjoy how she allows us understand a whole lot concerning her and she has produced the underdog circumstance which has us all favoring her in each day circumstances. Have you been intrigued in Russia for a long time? The reason I ask is because I have actually been blogging regarding Russian life for several years and I'm interested to recognize the audience.
That"s excellent Natasha that you took the time to experience the mentoring part. Always nice to see you here on RU-vid and wishing you all the best. Poka, Poka;
I've always found you to be very professional in your presentations. Your starting to step it up to another level I think; happy to see you publicly speaking; can't wait to see your review of the magazine interview when it comes out.
It's amazing that she has been recognised for her achievements.Very difficult for me not to be a tad jealous of her success. I'm into my 4th year making videos about Russia and can only dream of the success that Natasha has encountered in such a short time
I understood that the important things that Natasha does best is that her channel is not a channel concerning Russia but it is a channel regarding her and also her everyday battles. It just so occurs that she resides in Russia. This is something that I have learned from her. I have been making videos about Russia for many years and I am starting to understand more concerning what makes her successful. I assume she has actually done this naturally without trying to make videos a particular way. Some individuals obtain things ideal quickly and others get things incorrect, over and over till they advance. Thanks to Natasha I am beginning to understand just how to come to be a much better blogger as well as currently having actually transformed 200 videos concerning Russia, possibly now youtube's algorithm will be kinder to me!
I am happy that you are achieving some acclaim for your work. You are killing it, queen! Keep doing what you are doing. People like your videos because they like YOU! You seem like a really cool person to know and I hope you continue to find lots of success so you can reach all your goals one day.
For some people youtube can be a real struggle. I made blogs about Russia for 3 years and nobody took any notice. I'm glad it's working out so well for her.
The definition of notoriety: “The state of being famous or well known for some bad quality or deed.” I know you meant it as a compliment, but when initially reading the comment it has a negative connotation. Other than that, I agree with your comments.
You´ve a lot to offer them! they´re lucky to have you as a guide. At the same time, even though it´s stressful for you it´s a great experience. You´re doing great Natasha!
It is incredible that Natasha has found the secret to success without going through the struggle. I don't mean that in the bad way, but she seems to have just hit the ground running and been an overnight success without probably planning to make videos a particular way. She just did things the way she did things and it paid off. I'm a struggling youtuber and I am learning from Natasha. I hope that one day the youtube algorithm will favour me too.
Natasha has shown me a lot over her short youtube profession. The important things that I like one of the most is that she vlogs regarding herself instead of just about Russia. She just happens to reside in Russia. She cracked the youtube video game almost straight away. This is something that millions of people are attempting to do. I have been struggling with youtube for 4 years without obtaining any luck from the algorithm yet. Can I ask, What was it that made you click on the initial video of hers?
Congratulations on the recognition you are getting! You deserve every bit of it. You did your city/region a great service by shedding some light on it to the world. I initially came across your channel last year when I was looking for information of the Khabarovsk protest. Now it seems that political content is a thing of the past on your channel (which is understandable). But the simple things you show are still very refreshing, and remind us that our nations share more commonalities than differences.
@@SamsRussianAdventures That’s right. I enjoy reading books (in translation) by famous Russian authors, watching Russian movies, learning about Russian history, politics, traditions, art, scientific achievements, etc. I’ve recently started to learn the Russian language because I no longer want to rely on information solely in English or Chinese.
Public speaking can be horrible! I could speak about the youtube struggle. I have been making videos about life in Russia for many years but the Algorithm is yet to favour me. I am learning a lot from Natasha is sprung to success overnight. I like her blogging style. She doesn't blog about Russia, she blogs about herself, she just happens to live in Russia.
Congrats on being able to give back to others with your skills and talent. You are a beautiful person and are completely enchanting in front of the camera. I hope you get to expand further in your work and who knows maybe this or something similar could be a full time employment for you. Others do this & some help other vlogers and get paid to do so.
It's interesting. I wonder what it was that made so many people click on her very first video and made her channel take off from the word go! Why youtube decided it was going to show that video to so many people. I have been making videos about Russia for 4 years and the struggle is real. I'm glad that people get to see Russia because of Natasha.
@@SamsRussianAdventures If you asked each person why or how they came across yeah russia you would probably get a lot of different answers. I for one was looking up stuff about teach abroad with TEFL /ESL stuff and came across her stuff talking about her college and education and that was where I first noticed her. I started following after seeing he sharp wit and just over all honesty with her content.
@@okraslayer cool 😎 I used to own a tefl school here in Russia. We took volunteers from Nottingham university and a few people who just wanted to come and teach in Russia. Did you find a school?
@@SamsRussianAdventures Nothing yet. Still finishing up my TEFL license and looking around. Passports were slow to get processed before and now its almost non existent.
@@okraslayer Ah man, that is a shame. Which city do you want to work in? If you join the facebook group, Moscow expats, you can ask any question in there, there is lots of good advice. It's not my group or anything.
Natasha is incredible. One of things I like finest about her is that she informs her story. I seem like I understand lot's concerning her and also her videos feel unplanned as well as yet circulation like they are planned. Can you aid me? I'm researching for my very own channel. I have been blogging about Russia for 4 years yet have actually not encountered the exact same success as her. I love Natasha's charm and also how she makes interesting stories out of nothing. Can I ask you, What was is that tempted you to click the first video?
Nice try, but I'm sure I won't tell you that here without Natascha's consent. I can only tell you the reasons why I keep finding her videos interesting. Because she makes stories out of her life and her country and delivers more real-time information that you can't get anywhere else, even if you were there as a journalist. She uses computers and the internet for exactly what I think it should be used for: Connecting the world together.
I enjoyed this vlog very much. 👍 It must be a very gratifying feeling to know that you are inspiring other people. I congratulate you on your personal growth through this vlogging journey, and I wish you even more success in the future.
RU-vid is an interesting platform. She hasn't been blogging long and her channel seemed to just take off overnight. What made you initially watch that first video? I have been battling with youtube for a number of years now and have made over 200 videos about Russia, but I never get the kind of views that Natasha gets.
@@SamsRussianAdventures RU-vid's algorithm recommended one of her videos because I already subscribe to other Russian topic channels. At the time she only have a few thousand subscribers. I do not know what is the secret to why some channels just take off, but RU-vid recommendations and the pandemic surely contribute.
I realised that things that Natasha does best is that her channel is not a channel about Russia but it is a channel concerning her and her everyday battles. It just so occurs that she resides in Russia. This is something that I have actually learned from her. I have been making videos concerning Russia for years and I am beginning to understand even more about what makes her successful. I believe she has done this naturally without trying to make videos a specific means. Some people obtain points appropriate immediately as well as others obtain things wrong, over and over until they strike gold. Thanks to Natasha I am starting to recognize just how to become a much better blog writer as well as now having made over 200 videos regarding Russia, perhaps currently youtube's algorithm will be kinder to me!
Public speaking is scary, but it gets easier the more you do it. Keep up the good work, Natasha. I enjoy learning about you and your home through your blog. Cheers from the US!
RU-vid is a fascinating platform. She hasn't been blogging long and her channel appeared to just take off over night. What made you originally watch that very first video clip? I have been battling with youtube for a variety of years now as well as have created 200 videos regarding Russia, however I never ever obtain the kind of views that Natasha has
@@SamsRussianAdventures Well, you’re not a pretty girl lol.🤷🏻♂️ But in all seriousness, I’m pretty sure Natasha was in my recommends because I also subscribe to Bald & Bankrupt. I’ll sub to your channel too.
One of the things that I like best about Natasha is that she lets us get to know her. We are rooting for her in all her endeavours. I have been trying to be successful on youtube for over 4 years, blogging about Russia and it has been a difficult journey. From Natasha I have learned to try and open up to my audience about myself. I think that this is why people like Natasha. She is not teaching us about Russia, she is showing us about herself and about her life. She just happens to live in Russia.
It's amazing how quickly she has received success and I am so proud that because of her, people are seeing Russia. She is a great spokesperson for the country. RU-vid can be very difficult and frustrating. I have been blogging about Russia for many years, without being successful. I am now learning from Natasha.
You should be proud of your achievements, they all add up to making you who you are. I appreciate your videos and think you are a valuable window on the Russian world. Keep up the good work. Just ten months ago you found yourself 'adulting' and now you find yourself 'professionaling'. Well done, you!
