Tag doesnt matter? Cmon.. Maybe if youre huge but not otherwise or?

Oh NO Tim, never too late, we are 52 and 56 we wish about a lot of things stuff, we started YouTube just over 1 year ago and we will not ever look back, we work really hard to share our styles and ways, this is as good a time for us to share our skills and knowledge.
We are just filming and sharing what it is we are already doing each day already everyday of the week, what a fun time making the videos is easy compared to our work, that is tough in our opinions. Thank you for the video, Lance & Patrick.

the strangest part for me was stepping in front of the camera in a public place and not feeling self conscious

Great insight! I spent YEARS just “putting out content” just now things are starting to click and feel like I’m heading in the right direction.

[RidingElevators]

Thanks for including us in the video! I hope it helps others to find their niche and what they are passionate about that they want to share.

[JosephTagleTV]

> niche down
> be consistent
> enjoy just create
> thinking too much of the algorithm
> being a perfectionist

[GenExDividendInvestor]

The best time to have started something was yesterday. The next best time is today... Thanks, some awesome insights from successful YouTubers :)

[AppsthatRule]

This was great feedback Tim! Thanks for sharing this! I need to focus on more long form videos.

[NefelibataQueen]

I like how all the youtubers that help us grow our channel, collaborate with one another instead of tearing each other down and waiting to be the best at the expense of others. I really liked it 💜

[amaracea]

One of the biggest mistakes I’ve made is taking other people’s advice too seriously. Even if someone is a proven expert, they’re human and not always right. It’s good to heed advice, especially from those ahead of you, but it’s also good to think for yourself and do your own experiments.

[TheStrategicKeys]

This is an awesome series. Please do more like this. It is really encouraging to see big time YouTubers saying they made mistakes, saying they have regrets, and saying the same things I have been saying to myself. Thanks for sharing!👍🙏

[raulgolfs]

Ohhh yeah. Lighting and audio was a big one for me.

[Gemstonetarot]

Great video - real advice from proven YouTubers - thank you 💗

[AnandJ]

The biggest problem is not starting. We procrastinate and try to figure everything out before starting.

[raulgolfs]

I started a YouTube channel in 2009 and didn’t start producing content till 2017.

[PahlaB]

I’m niching down! It’s absolutely slowed my growth.

[VSO_Gun_Channel]

Pick a subject matter that Youtube won’t suppress.
