9 Tips For Content Creation 2024

In December of 2020 we had a HUGE milestone - We hit 1 million subscribers here on YouTube. It has been a long journey to get here, and Chris reflected on that journey recently on the Clubhouse app. In his talk, he went over nine guiding principles that got us to a million subscribers. However, these principles can really be used to grow your audience on ANY social media app.

If you have the Clubhouse app, you can connect with Chris at thechrisdo, where he'll be giving more talks in the future.

This channel is perhaps the most underrated on all of YouTube

[krisang_co]

Listening to you has made me be okay with talking normally and calmly. Unlike a lot of creators I see who are super excited while talking on camera. I can't.

The Futur speaks the truth... All day... Everyday!!!

[brokenstudiotv]

This is one of those videos that after I watch, I just sit and think about the amount of value I just got in a short amount of time and feel blessed. Thanks TheFutur and Chris for all the amazing value you provide, God Bless!

[UCCAWiditha]

I'm a musician and I truly think Chris Do's knowledge isn't confined to the design industry only. It can be applied to all areas of expertise. I'm thankful for The Futur.

[comartse]

Thank you for the great reminders. Now I only have to apply them.

[spmxo]

These words are not just for 2022 but for everytime.❤

[BrendanEvan]

Man I need these as a reminder on the wall, tattooed on my arm, everywhere

[flynndarko]

Mentoring at it's best.
What resonates with what I hear from you is "focus on giving value and it will be reciprocated" ( in money, love etc)

Trying to live it out. 💪

I've been wrestling with illustrator and unsuccessful illustrations half an hour ago, feeling incredibly frustrated, just then opening YouTube and this video comes up. Just about 10 mins of your content and my bad mood is turned around, I feel my persistance levels soar again! I'm rewatching because I'm taking notes. Such valuable content, especially the persist and resist (distractions are everywhere...) and you made a refreshing point when you said that no opinion can hurt without your permission. Thank you!

[PelayoAF]

Who is here for the long term! 🤡🥲🥲🥰? Thanks so much for this advice, I feel its things that we “know” but its not until you practice them that you KNOW them. This really encourages me to keep going.

Very true! When you stop mistaking failure with dissapointment & fear, and in stead see it as an opportunity to grow. Then nothing can stop you!

0:40 The infinite game of continuous self improvement... Are you having fun and learning something?...
Love that.

[Abdulrahman-tcvq]

on point no. 7 " you are a poor judge of your own talent" i recommend anyone to look up "obvious to you, amazing to others by Derek Sivers interesting point he is making, also great video !

[felichiebiancalaroya]

Chris!!! your videos always feel like a hug!!!! THANK

[mannmaus]

1:34 I come home after school and check your channel every day. I love you bro

[NomadOverNormal]

I needed this. I just started creating Youtube videos last weekend geared towards helping creatives who want to reach financial independence.

My videos gained some traction and shot up to 600 views and I gained 20 subscribers while receiving SEVERAL emails thanking me for talking about saving and investing. The artists in our world are starving for financial literacy sources that speak to them. If I can have a percentage of the impact that the Futur has had in teaching business to creatives, I could die happy.
