Hit Publish After 40

Have you been thinking about starting a YouTube channel but keep talking yourself out of it?

“Who would even want to watch me?”
“Isn’t YouTube for younger people?”
“I’m not tech-savvy. How would I even edit a video?”

I’ve thought every one of those, too. Here’s the truth: there’s a space for you on YouTube.

Inside this free guide:

✦ How to find what you’ll talk about (you already have plenty)

✦ 4 simple steps, from getting ready to film to hitting publish, with a real title and thumbnail example

✦ A 20-minute quick win you can do tonight

✦ A space to write your why, so you keep going on the hard days.

Why this guide is different

Most YouTube advice is about gear, algorithms, and going viral. None of that helps when the real thing stopping you is fear.

Your phone is enough.

No fancy camera, no expensive editing software. Start with what you have.

You don’t have to show your whole face.

Voiceover counts. Hands-only counts. You can grow into the rest.

Success is what you can control.

Not views or subscribers. Filming, hitting publish, and showing up again next week.

Made for women over 40 who are ready to be seen

✦ You’ve wanted to start a channel for a while, but there’s always a reason to wait.

✦ You’ve lived a lot of life and have stories, lessons, and skills worth sharing, even if you don’t see it yet.

✦ You’d rather start small and real than wait until everything feels perfect.

Hi, I'm Monique.

I’ve been making YouTube videos since 2014. My first channel, Brown Vegan, grew to 50k subscribers, and my podcast won Best Vegan Podcast at the 2022 VegNews Veggie Awards. Along the way, I taught a live workshop on using video to build a brand and coached creators in one-on-one YouTube strategy sessions.

At the end of 2025, I deleted that channel and started over from zero. Now I’m in my mid-40s, working full-time, mom to three grown sons, and building Just Monique on weekends.

If I can start over, so can you.❤️
