Hey Sean, your channel inspired us to start, we just launched yesterday! God Bless ❤

[doodsanddudes]

Totally agree. Just start and you will get better.

[FavoritesWithLaura]

I keep coming back to view this and other advice to help keep me focused. I join VRA earlier this year prior to hitting 1k. I just went up over 4k in subs. ❤

[UpcycleDesignLab]

I definitely need to work on my systems.

[MrShishi]

All the tips where spot on. The eye contact one is soo true. I have a tendancy to stare in space and move my eyes when im thinking. Made me look disinterested and just terrible. Its easy to overlook this when your focus is 100% the script but this seems to me incredibly important. Thanks for great content

[travelingbeyondboundaries]

I struggle a lot with comparing. I see channels that are just getting started growing so much faster. I have to keep reminding myself that there is enough room here for me and their growth doesn't stop mine. I just have to keep working hard at creating good content.

[JamesKerLindsay]

A great video. So many great tips. Think Media was one of the first channels I discovered when I started on YouTube. It has always been brilliantly helpful - and I still love your videos. Thanks so much.

[PrasanIR]

I just got blown away with all those points. It just shows your immense experience when it comes to Youtube. I was so frustrated to day before watching this video, now i know that i have committed all of those mistakes that you just said. Thank you for the advise

[SpanglishSpider]

100 % agree, especially #9... I always skip intros! They're usually too long

[EncounterCaneCorso]

Really appreciate all of the help from Thinkmedia. The majority of my YouTube education has come from this channel and a few others.

[WingsAsEaglesMinistries]

Always enjoy your content and advice. I appreciate the straightforwardness on these videos. You make the video enjoyable as well as informative while not doing like some of the other tip type channels who use their own style. Everyone has their own style they enjoy and to me….. this channel is the best for this subject. Thank you

Comparison is a killer of creativity 💯

[AIKnowledgeGo]

My biggest Mistake was quitting: Jumped into the let's-play area in 2015 but hung up my controller a year later with just 20 subs and a modest view count. Imagine my shock when, after nearly a decade, I logged back in to find 200 loyal subscribers waiting! 🌟 This unexpected surprise fueled my comeback. Now, I'm diving into a new project with a no-quit attitude. To anyone out there doubting their journey, remember, persistence is key! Your audience may just be a click away. 🎮💪

[PorshiaVonne]

We’re in a similar wave length 🤗 I filmed a vid like this on the 1st 💜 scheduled it for Sunday on a separate unlinked channel. I just think it’s cool 🙏🏾 🫶🏽 much love to you guys!

[cultist]

I want to come back 5 years from now and tell the people then that this actually worked... Because the mere fact that I am Ugandan, I thought I was disadvantaged without all that cool gears, funds, to mention ...you guys have but in my two years of being here, I am learning a lot including pain. Anyways thank you for being in my two years 🎉

[inthepocketbass]

All great advice. Thanks for helping us take the plunge

Sean, i actually posting my videos but in another platform cause im kinda hessitant at the moment posting it in yt..i do have my plan when to execute it and i think i can still follow this great advice.thank you Sean.

[AsalKahani]

Very very true, its been 3 years I am working on YouTube in multiple niches, jumping here and there, where I feel I am not growing, jumping to another.... I think I have realized my mistakes today...

[mdrealtorchic]

Not getting started is my big mistake and overthinking. Now is the time, this is the month. I paid for the course years ago and never completed it. That’s about to change.
