Meet Gabi Soares, beauty creator and founder of Mature Beauty, as she breaks down how she built a loyal YouTube audience from scratch and turned her expertise as a professional hair and makeup artist into a thriving full-time business.

If you've ever wondered how to grow on YouTube without going viral, how to monetize the right audience, or how to eventually launch your own brand, this conversation is packed with honest, practical advice on what actually works.

In this episode, Gabi shares how she started her channel to help her salon clients and accidentally built one of the most trusted voices in mature beauty on YouTube.

She breaks down how she approaches sponsorships, why AdSense has been far more lucrative for her than most creators expect, and how she used affiliate data to negotiate a full-year deal with L'Oréal.

She also gives a behind-the-scenes look at launching Mature Beauty, her own cosmetics line two years in the making, and what it really takes to go from creator to founder.
