"By putting my videos up on YouTube, and people watch me through the years, they feel like they know me personally. And I can't tell you how many times I've had people come up at conventions and say, I feel like I know you because I've watched your videos for so long. People are going to become more comfortable with you and your work even before they've ever met you or had a consultation with you. It's a cool marketing tool."

Key Takeaways:

"We don't have to overthink it. The important thing is just to get started. And your videos aren't going to be great in the beginning. It's not like we're live today, people are seeing a slide with your YouTube videos, you can go in and edit them." - Terry Lively

"I just think you want it to be accurate to what the video is about. You don't want to say something in your title, and then have the video be about something else or not quite with that title." - Terry Lively

"Every single video that you do, you're going to make small improvements, and it's just going to get better and better. And don't knock yourself in the beginning because that's the learning curve. You've got to have a learning curve with all this." - Terry Lively

"You don't really learn until you're working on the skin every day. You can't do one or two procedures a month and expect to really get good; you have to be working on the skin every single day and have your feet in the trenches." - Terry Lively
