From Roles to Recognition: A Journey of My Own Identity, A Golden Play Button, and the Love of Millions

Greetings, wonderful community! Today, I’m excited to share the incredible journey that led me to achieve 1 million subscribers on my YouTube channel. I am Dr Neeti Kaushik, a Doctorate in Education with over 35 years of experience in teaching, school administration, curriculum planning, and teacher training and this is the story of my transition from the school corridors to the vast world of YouTube. 

The Spark of Inspiration: 

In August 2020, the seed of starting a YouTube channel was planted during a personal consultation with Suman Sunshine. Little did I know that this casual conversation would spark a new chapter in my life. Suman encouraged me to share my insights on a broader platform, recognizing the authenticity and joy she experienced while listening to me. 

The Genesis of My Channel: 

The second important person in this journey was Madhu Tyagi Mam, a Hindi teacher. It was at her home where she created my YouTube channel using my Gmail, and this was on November 21, 2020, also my birthday when I started my YouTube channel. Armed with basic equipment, including my trusty mobile camera, I embarked on this new adventure.

Balancing Act: 

Managing a full-time role as a teacher and principal from 7 am to 5 pm, and then dedicating my evenings from 7 pm to 11:30 pm to YouTube, presented its challenges. Yet, fuelled by a passion to make a difference, I conducted teacher workshops, shared student videos, and even conducted interviews with educators during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Viral Breakthrough: 

For a year, I tirelessly wrote scripts, created videos, and shared content on various topics. Then, unexpectedly, a video I posted in February, ‘Do you wake up between 3 AM to 5 AM,’ went viral in November. The sudden influx of comments and views, over 25k in a week and eventually reaching over 1 lakh views, left me astonished. It was my authenticity and genuine intent that resonated with the audience. 

Pivoting Towards Astrology, Numerology and Manifestation: 

Observing a trend of negativity in astrology and numerology content on YouTube, where information was more about creating fear than guiding people through the power of numbers and planets, I felt the need for a positive change. Turning my hobby into a powerful tool, acquired during my early teaching days, I decided to use my knowledge in astrology, numerology and manifestation to positively impact lives. 

Stepping Into the Unknown: 

My journey wasn’t just about accumulating views; it was a personal quest for identity. Balancing roles as a mother, wife, and educator, I realized the importance of having my own identity. The decision to resign from a 35-year-long educational career on August 1, 2022, was not easy. However, it marked the beginning of a new chapter dedicated to my own passions.

From Solo to Team: 

Starting from the confines of my home, slowly building a team of two, then four, to now having a dedicated team of eight in a personal office, the journey has been transformative. The support received from the audience has been overwhelming, culminating in the proud moment of receiving the coveted Golden Play Button.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you. If I can achieve this at 50, remember, age is just a number, and it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. Thank you for being a part of my journey, and here’s to the next million!

    Hi Madam,
    I have been following you for a long time but i hardly put down comments. I love your work because of your honesty and purity of content. I think you really gave a new dimension to think about astrology which before i would not believe in much. But your videos truly has changed my perspective. I feel your positivity connection directly and thats why i watch your videos. I actually reside in Africa,malawi.
