What steps have you taken to get started on YouTube? Let us know below ⬇

It's simple. You just start. You've done it for everything else in your life before. This is no different.

[Teva_Forlan]

Just started 3 days ago and posting my 1st video was such a relief. Good luck all. ✌🏾

[RealmRiftGaming]

Just start! And keep going no matter what... good luck to all of you starting this year✌️

[Chee.Yng]

One of the advices I learned is that you have to think like your viewers, make your videos fun to watch as if you were watching another persons video. My explanation is bad but you guys get it.

I started my YouTube channel last week. I have recorded 3 videos, but i don't have courage to post them. Im recorded using my phone.
Im very encouraged by the remarks i have read in the comments section

[TravellingMug]

Here as a 4 day new youtuber....thanks for the encouragement and tips❤

Imagine someone starting a new sport trying to be a professional athlete! It will be messy early on, it takes practice, courage and determination! The athlete has to adapt constantly to grow and get better. It’s the same with Youtube. Just start and then adapt, grow and go for it! You got this! 🤗🦋

[iamonebor]

I started my first channel I have made three videos so far they suck but I am learning every single day

“We don’t rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems.” - Sean Cannell 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 That quote right there stopped me in my tracks. 😅

[JBDeshawn]

Guys keep grinding never give up. You probably one video away from changing your life. Just press record

[kevinsmyr]

The best advice I learned is to just be authentic. You know the viral channels without editing and thumbnails?

All this is not necessary when the viewer can establish a connection to you.

Each of us has a personality that attracts others. We just have to show it uncensored and finally take off our masks.

Try to do it better this year.

Btw here are tools I use:
Create title and description (Gemini)
Optimise SEO (Tubebuddy)
Cutting (Vegas pro + Capcut)
Recording talking head (iPhone XS Max)
Microphone (Rode NT-Usb)
Recording screen (OBS Studio)
Create thumbnail (Canva)

I hope this helps someone. Lets rock 2024!

I started in late 2023, and I just record and post. Even if it sucks the posts will eventually help me get more comfortable

If I would have to start again on YT, I just wouldn't waste months to get recognized by couple hundred people. When I discovered I could trigger organic growth after getting first 1k subs using different online services (for example, like a little bit of Famester) my life just got easier and my main channel exploded. People are just looking at the numbers when searching for some content. If you have low subs no one cares about you even if you have best content on platform.

[nahnisjourney]

I needed this video because I have not had the courage to actually upload a video.

Thank you.

[jazelise]

Great, simple advice! I’ve been allowing fear of failure to stop me from starting my YouTube channel. I need to start now!

[JeanMReacts]

yes i started in february this year, im just 7 subs now, but i give my all in every video, so lets improve one video at the time,

[Raissa_Artista]

You have IDEA how long I’ve been watching Think Media and FINALLY applied what was said!!! I started in January and God literally BLEW MY MIND!!!!

[TubeMinded]

I am messy, but I just started. I'm hoping to learn and grow in the days to come. Wishing every hard-working youtubers success in life ❤❤❤

[CraftyDavid]

Last week, I started my YouTube channel, and I owe a big part of my discipline to your content Sean. I work in a warehouse and spend the better part of this time listening to your podcast (if you saw a peak on Spotify in the Netherlands, well, hi 👋). My next video is 90% done and I already have a very specific plan for next week. I'm very excited for this adventure, and I wish you all the best with yours at Think Media.
Thanks for the motivation, god bless you man.
