I Rebranded, How will it affect me?

[Lizzeelive]

So I rebranded my channel, and in that rebranding, I changed my name. Before I changed it, my name was the same as my previous channel and I didn't feel like it suited the videos I was making. So I changed from Lizzeelive to Shannon Elizabeth, which is my real name. How will this affect my channel? Will people still recognize it is me uploading? The only warning I gave was on twitter... I mean, I only have 12 subscribers, so it won't affect me too much will it?

It will utterly destroy you. Just kidding, with only 12 subs, it won't be a big deal (no offense, you're just starting). I would suggest a video to announce that. Especially for larger channels.

Okay, thanks!

You're welcome!

Yeah, you'll be fine. I don't see any harm coming from that.

Ooops sorry about that! Thanks for putting it in the right place!

better to figure out your branding and name right before than later if and when you gain a bigger audience.

I agree. Since I am not a large channel yet, and maybe never will be, its better to figure it out now...

I did the same thing and I'm very happy with my decision. I figured people would rather connect with a person more than a brand. Plus, I'm not locked into doing any certain content. I've started out very niche and plan to cover much broader topics over time. Not to mention, I may mix in some of the other fun things I do like whitewater kayaking.

Good luck with the new channel!
