The beauty of YouTube is that you can share your passion with others. In life, you are conditioned to do things solely for the money. You have to pay your bills that why you keep a job that you may not necessarily enjoy but in that time you should build a life you want using YouTube.

The thing that separates Sean from all the other influencer channels is that he dives deep. Not just spewing the same stuff over and over. He makes NEW content and actually gives ways to do it. Motivational and inspirational.

There’s a lot of reasons I’m on YouTube, but i think the three main reasons are: to rebuild some self confidence, to start a hobby which gives me a more fulfilling life & to engage with one of my favourite things which is YouTube. I think the last point I’m able to get across to my small following, but the first 2 points I’ve found have been incredibly positive for me.

True, like Brian g says.. “you got to stand for something or you stand for nothing on YouTube” feel that way you can ride the long distance it takes to build up.

I became a youtuber to not make money but to motivate somebody day at least, if a person is going through a lot and is depressed I want to make them at least chuckle one time to make there day brighter👍🏾💯

[SimplyLivingIt]

To encourage others moms, other homeschool moms...just general, real life encouragement.

You must have purpose on anything we tackle in life .... my goal of my channel is to do anyone who was deemed to disabled to work that they can be “Determined” “Bold” and “Fearless” to actually become part of this world!

I love that you focused on “Why and Purpose”. While I have to learn “how to”, when I saw you focus on purpose, I said “**** Yeah”, I have tons of purpose.
My reason for being on you tube is to “help people” on many things. I know that I will have to create multiple channels and I am cool with that. If I make wealth, it is because I served my audience. Regardless of if I make money, I’m jumping in because I believe I will create valuable content that will address people’s compelling problems with viable solutions.

This is SO good! A perfect message for those starting out and a great priority for those that have climbed the creator ladder. Great one Sean! 👊🏼🔥

[TTMAutograph]

I became a creator first because I wanted to share a hobby with others. Now that I have been doing it for a while, every time I want to slow down or move on to something else, I get that email that says "love your videos" and I snap back to reality. Will check out your affiliate marketing video - I was a member of amazon associates when it started in 96, did good for a while but lately, not so much. Would like to get into it again.

[ROCKNSTIMS]

My WHY is to show other parents that having a child with Autism is not the end of the world. With Vlogs and Sit down videos I want to show life is at times hard but still amazing 💙👍

[alignedsoul]

I wanted to be a content creator because I wanted to increase the impact that I had within my community. I felt like I was very limited as to how many women I can speak to about the things I learned that impacted my health and life in a positive way. I also see daily in my brick and mortar business the need for more innovative thinkers and people that are willing to go for it. I didn't want fear to be the thing that holds me back and play small. I feel like if I can create a small positive change in someones day because they watched my video it's the most fulfilling part of my work. I have to say though that my mission is actually two fold. I want to help women feel accepted and included no where what stage they are at in their wellness journey and I also want to show other health professionals that there's an alternative way that they can create a massive impact with their work. Thanks for the vid Sean as usual it's so great !

[ErhanK]

Your approach on being a content creator perfectly fits my ambitions. Despite giving long pauses as a video content creator, I started YouTube the day my baby girl was born. My first and foremost goal was creating a channel that provides help for the youth: At first, it was guidance for who struggles in writing their first story. Then, I changed the focus of my channel to tips and facts about freelance ecosystem. But the core goal remained the same: Guiding young people through their 20s. In the long run, I might or might not be getting any revenue from my efforts, but I know I'm building a good legacy for my daughter.

I’ve been watching YouTube videos for 5 years and that’s being nice... see I never wanted to follow trend but I didn’t want to just create anything .... finally think I found my passion/ purpose/ expertise... I just don’t know how to put it together THIS WAS SO HELPFUL

[DawnforLife]

Sean, this is different from your regular content but SO IMPORTANT. Beautiful sharing and thank you and God bless!

[TheHannibalTV]

Reason: to get myself more popular as a wrestler but I have become more popular as an interviewer and content creator in the process. Still have a lot of work to do to grow.

[Kiponner]

I think a lot of people need this type of video now days, the problem is so few seem to have the attention span to watch something that will make them think critically...

Thanks for putting this out there, keep pushing improvement!

[oldBASgold]

I watched your video when i feel down or when i plan to stop my youtube channel . You give me extra power . YouTube such bad idea if i know its really hard i will not use this tunnel. I keep checking my subscriber, viewers...etc extremely slow mo

[MarleeDecember]

My content creations are to share my experience as a family caregiver to my dad. But I highly dislike when ppl follow my channel and ask for a follow for follow. I prefer to organically grow instead of gain followers who are only there for their benefit. Because my passion of sharing my caregiving lifestyle is to be a help to those who are going through or have gone through the same thing I AM with my dad. 💖😊

[ZorroPoint]

I love coming back to you over the years to hear your story, get a pick me up, and hear good advice. Cheers Sean!
