I started my YouTube channel in 2019, although at first it was a hobby and I could post two or three videos per year only when I felt inspired to do it. However, nearly by the end of 2022 ‘Eli from Russia’ became my main job. From the very beginning, I just did what I loved and filmed it, without any idea how to ‘correctly’ run a channel or how to be a blogger.
Since then, I have never filmed what is trending or something just for clickbait. I even know what exactly I can film in my niche to get millions of views, but it is not interesting to me, or it contradicts my values. Perhaps this is why my growth in blogging has never been explosive: I walk like a turtle, but the passion to go forward never disappears.
Now I am inspired by the goal of seeing all the regions of Russia and showing how people live where no one usually goes on their vacation, and how different ethnic groups live in the most remote places and even in the most extreme ones.
This time I stayed with nomads in Yamal. I just published the video about one day of their life far from civilisation in the tundra - https://youtu.be/R7dC5SHaqbQ?si=Cro34...
