In this video Sean Cannell from Think Media shares updates about the youtube policy changes in 2018.

Everyone, just keep hustling! Hard work is the entire game! Vine, SnapChat, Facebook and Instagram don't OFFER Ad Revenue at all! But people still have made their success by building their brand and monetizing outside the platform.

"If you're going to win in 2018, you gotta stay grateful" THANK YOU SEAN

[IamDaria]

Reject pessimism and choose to stay grateful - this is the quote I've now put on my wall to remind me of it. A lot of negative things happened to me in the past couple of days along with getting an email about Youtube demonetisation. But this helped me. Thank you, Sean. :)

[BoomyNation]

At first when I read what YouTube did, I was a bit peeved. I took some time before adding my thoughts to the chorus out there. But, as time has gone by, and listening to you. It makes sense, and only fuels my passion to continue.

[ItsLilFergie]

I'm not going to lie, I was really disappointed and discouraged when I got the notification. But this is the best response I have seen in regards to this. Very honest and realistic but encouraging. Thank you.

DONT GET BITTER, GET BETTER 👌🏽 great tips 🔥

[SoSallyo]

I’d like to know from YouTube directly how some big YouTubers messing up means that small YouTubers who’ve done nothing wrong have to pay the price. If anything, they should help smaller YouTubers grow. Viewers will ultimately get bored of the complacent bigger YouTubers who’ve always had the platform to themselves and protection because of the 💴

[GusDaCosta]

All this change is to take money from the small creators to feed the bigger ones who lost money during the demonetization a couple of months ago. The channels that makes the threshold will see an increase in their pay, but of course no one will admit that.

[jillbutton]

I LOVE what you had to say (summarizing one of your points), "Reject pessimism, reject negativity, stay positive and be grateful! Focus on what you can control... and punch pessimism in the face." I thought this video was invaluable, you focused on how people can kill it in 2018. Thank you Sean! You are a rockstar!

[OmoniGotCurls]

Stay positive guys you will definitely breakthrough some day.

[FryerDIYguy]

Thank you so much Sean! You really encouraged me to take this on, be encouraged and keep working and be the boss of my channel. I have lot of view time but about 500 subscribers short.

[CraigsTechTalk]

Thank you Sean for another great video. I appreciate all the information you bring and a great outlook.
My channel is 6 months old and I am pushing to make it to my 1000 subs. I am at 946 and climbing. Luckily, i have the hours covered.
Thankfully, there are great supportive people who want to help smaller channels grow. Thanks for the advice. Have a great 2018.

[sonatareal]

I was really disappointed & uninspired after watching several videos on this topic as everyone was so negative and I really appreciate your positive message. I have a music channel, where I post covers and originals and just over the last five months I have started posting more frequently and focusing on growth and I've managed to grow my channel by more than 200 subscribers in this time. When I saw the email I felt discouraged at first, but after some thinking it was clear that I need to work harder and better and that nothing is lost. If anything, I hope that this YouTube change will be one of the better things to ever happen to me and I can use it as a propeller to go forward 🙂🔥

[HonestFinance]

Watched this video twice now. 20, 000 views. Good trending topic to cover. You’re at the top of youtube monetization 2018. It’s a tough hill to climb for the new guys and I’m sure it’s really discouraging now to even start. At least I started :)

[alejandrocalle]

Just when you thought YouTube couldn't screw Small content creators any worse.i believe this will definitely back fire.

[SoSallyo]

Watching from the Midlands UK. Been absolutely gutted all day. Thought the email this morning was a joke. I am so angry and frustrated. How to can make an agreement with someone under certain terms and conditions both parties agrees to then unilaterally vary those terms - how that can be fair and reasonable I have no idea. I’ve lost SO much respect for the platform.

[AllThatJay]

I get your point, I agree with you. But please answer this: why are new rules have to be harder on the small YouTuber? Logan video going trending, which is one of the reasons this is happening, was youtube's fault. No one reviews it, no one took it down fast enough. Again faulty content is to blame, not smaller channels

[FreelancePakistan]

"Punch Pessimism in the Face", "Stay Positive", "Stay Stronger", "Diversify", "Be Strategic" Heard your sincerely inspirational whispers. Thank you for sharing positivism. It's the best energy ever.
There is no 'Quitting". Challenges make us. Accepted. Thumbs up for such a wonderful message!

[TimeForT]

My daughters channel was hit but it won't stop her. She loves making videos with me. Thanks so much for this and for the positive attitude. We are watching from London UK xxx

[BriDuran]

I got the email from YouTube that my channel will be demonetized and I’m not going to let that stop me from really wanting to live my dream even if i have to do it for fun that’s what ima do because money isn’t the reason why i got into YouTube thanks for the video and the positivity !!
