Through the years, YouTube has evolved from being a simple video sharing platform to a source of helpful videos from diverse creators.
According to consumer insights and strategy consulting firm Talk Shoppe, as of March 2022, 85% of users in the Philippines agree that YouTube helps them learn something new, which is the highest out of any other service surveyed.
Whether you’re hunting for a new hobby, wanting to upskill, or finding new avenues of income, here are some inspiring content creators you may want to follow:
One universal thing people can agree on is that good food is always welcome. For those looking to level up their cooking skills, especially with Filipino food, young Boholana creator Ms Cynthia is that easy-to-follow and relatable personality you can learn from.
Her channel mainly focuses on cooking regional fare, such as Bisaya dishes like Paklay and even dishes from other parts of the Philippines, like cassava cake, sisig, and Tupig Pangasinan, just to name a few. If you’re considering starting a food business with a deeply local flavor, you can’t go wrong with learning from Ms Cynthia’s content.
If you have nimble fingers and a passion for making handcrafted items, Sharon Lee’s crocheting channel is a good place to either start or advance your skills. She has been making crocheted items since 2014 and not only has it been her way to relax and release stress, she has also been able to share her creations through her online shop.
Her channel includes easy-to-follow tutorials on making simple crochet items like scrunchies for beginners and more complex crafts like a tri-fold wallet for those with more experienced hands.
Local artist Vin Art began his content creator journey by posting time lapse videos of his amazing sketches of celebrities like Kathryn Bernardo and Zeinab Harake. Eventually he began branching out by uploading portrait tutorials–from how to draw faces or which paper works best for charcoal portraits.
He also uploads incredibly helpful videos on how to monetize your art including asking yourself if you’re ready to become an artist earning from their artworks and how to price commissions for newbies.
Being able to make clothes isn’t just a handy skill to have for yourself, it can also be a good way to make money on the side. The question is, where can you start?

Through her in-depth and step-by-step tutorials, viewers can easily learn how to create shorts, blouses, and more, which you can turn into cute, personalized gifts for loved ones, or as a side-hustle!
Give dried flowers a new lease on life as cute decor pieces you can display and even sell through resin art. Resin art can be a time-consuming process but it can result in versatile pieces that can be used for jewelry, sculptures, or if you’re thinking big, countertops and flooring.
