Hi all! I am BRAND new (pun intended) on YT so have some flexibility in crafting my brand and I want to do it intentionally. My name is India Witkin and I am creating content about food, travel, history, and self discovery. It will be very documentary style videos (vlogy style + talking head, explainers, interviews). I will have a food series coming out later this year that will be comprised of seasons (8 episodes posted once a week) that will be called INDIA EATS THE WORLD. I imagine this as a YT playlist. I am thinking of either calling the channel and my handle India Witkin OR I am thinking of changing the name of my channel and handle to My Name is India. Alternatively I can have my handle be @mynameisindia and keep the branding to just my name across. I am not a huge fan of my last name and constantly hear how confusing my name is to people ("wait india is your name??"). I know I need to center my name. What do people think!?

Huge shoutout to @Scott Clampet. 😎 In his first few months here in Grindstone, he: - grew his Instagram following by 33% - got the blue checkmark (verified on Instagram) - just did his first stream The stream was a bit laggy and clunky on his van's wifi. But I attended for ~2 hours while finishing some work at the end of the night. It was awesome to listen to him build great songs from scratch. He was funny. Shouted out all viewers and comments in intense reverb and auto-tune. Excited to see your continued growth my man! 🥳

Hi all! Looking for a talented and affordable video editor for my YT channel who can also do social videos. Ideally someone abroad as I can't afford anyone in the USA... Save me from this hell of video editing PLEASE.

Hi all! New creator here! My name is India Witkin. I'm a born and raised New Yorker (yes, that is the totality of my personality - because, duh), I am obsessed with food, travel and history and I am starting a Youtube channel! I'm very new to YT, but I have a background in film, tv, video and podcasting. I work in the media industry as a producer/production coordinator and had a podcast series called "Eating America with India" from 2020-2021. The series was me exploring different immigrant diasporas around the U.S. through the lens of food. I am now LAUNCHING it as a video series called "India Eats the World". The first season is the America's and the second season will be around Asia. She's a global girlie!!! Very excited to be here and trying my best to power through video editing and scripting and strategizing but it's all difficult when I'm juggling a 9-5p. I'm looking forward to connecting with my fellow Grindstoners and getting inspired to do that damn thang! Sharing my Current / Dream state!
