Cross the bridge when it comes

 Such a lovely line! We tend to overthink and plan for future. But, cross the bridge when it comes!

Kid wants to have a youtube page

 Make her put together a business plan/presentation.

Target market?

Type of content?

General purpose?

Goals? Short term & long term.

How often will she post?

When will she film & edit?

Startup costs?

Expected revenue?

Marketing strategy?

If she can pull all of that together… maybe consider it with guidelines/boundaries.

We allowed my daughter to have one for her animations…. And we said no face or real names used. We also had login access to monitor any messages or comments. We had veto power over content, as well. She lost interest pretty quick. It’s a lot more work than kids realize.
