From private practice to public premiere: Carmina’s first YouTube debut changes everything.

Every day, I would join Lyn’s livestream after being active and chatting with others who were also watching. Lyn once advised us to premiere long videos since they count toward public watch hours, just like livestreams. She suggested they be over ten minutes, but to me, that felt too short premieres felt more like livestreams where you entertain viewers for one, two, or even three hours straight. Recently, while on vacation, I decided to try my first premiere since my video was an hour and thirty-six minutes long. At first, I was nervous as a newbie, unsure if it was the right move, but sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone to see what might help with YouTube watch hours .

Carmina's Vegetable and Pork Lumpia Recipe


Carmina has been craving for vegetable lumpia. Anyone who has mentioned to me that they have eaten for lunch and lumpia comes to mind. I begin to crave for it even more.

I decided to make my own at home.

It came by memory when I was purchasing my ingredients what Mom Violy use to buy when making it long time when I was a kid.

Mom Violy uses to buy frozen mixed vegetables at the grocery store.

I remembered Mom Violy puts fresh beansprouts. She would always ask me to remove the roots while I was watching television.

Mom Violy has a best friend in California. Auntie Hermie always makes vegetable lumpia by handing out to her friends. 

Auntie Hermie's friends call it egg rolls.

Everything came all to my mind how vegetable lumpia was the common food eaten when I was growing up.

Being an adult vegetable is still my favorite food.

Just we begin to crave food what we use to eat. The only way is to save money is making our own and have it store in the freezer.

Carmina also saw some people add different types of veggies. I decided to add cabbage to my vegetable and pork lumpia.
