I'm just hitting back on all the YouTube videos that auto played while I slept. i slept through this whole thing but trust my subconscious got me 👊

[nathananderson]

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 728 subs and > 200 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[melotheproducer]

That "boredom" advice is straight wisdom. Thanks - I needed that. 🙏🏾

[AmericanEnglishBrent]

1:06:02 yes! Trade schools. I teach high school. I’m encouraging many of my students to follow that path.

[TMITP]

My journey has just started. Crossed the 200 subscribers mark this morning!

[TotemPoleNation]

Dude you are so much more than a YouTuber. The advice you are giving can go for any career or in life!

[raingodmusic]

Bro you're on one so glad this was on auto play. Woke up to this

[homestudioacademy]

Thanks for breaking it down using ACTUAL NUMBERS instead of just another one of those typical “inspirational speeches” to pursue YouTube that I’m sure we all heard before. Truly appreciate all the tips and your help Roberto!

[myusalocalcom]

What people define as scam is often emotional like a course consumed by the right person can provide success and value but to someone with the wrong mindset is doomed to failed.

[sizzleserveyum]

I am so grateful that you clarified the difference between a hobby YT Creator and YT Creator doing this to earn a living.

[ParanormalTalk]

My biggest challenge is I have no studio, I do my editing and recording out of my bedroom as I am currently sharing a place. So I have to hold back, and not talk too loud to disturb the others living here. I also don't have the space to properly setup multiple camera views, and my green screen barely fits behind me. I try working with what I have so that I can still put content out, but I'd love to have the kind of setup you have!

[GinaLay]

Your advice is top notch. ❤
I could listen to you forever.

[Yayletesha]

Hi Roberto, Thanks for your transparency. I have been suffering from free YT growth overload. However I appreciate that you clarified when a course might be necessary and when it may not be required.

[Corrans]

When you spoke about success being boring...meaning repeatedly doing the same things that work, day in and day out...I felt that in my soul. It's SO true. You have to build something brick by brick and it gets boring..like brushing teeth daily. Very true. Your advice is spot on and very true. Very realistic and down to earth. I tried having a second channel BUT it wasn't sustainable from a time/effort/energy point of view.

[mistigri]

Thanks for the stream and picking- up on my comment, that was unexpected..
I've only recently subscribed, and am really digging the depth and scope of your insights, love the "No BS" and authenticity of it too. It actually feels like "Shop talk" and not the usual "Pep talk".. Thanks again, for that !
One last thing, been looking at the thumbnails, .. Happy to see you still can get half a mil Subs while having minimal or mild YT faces, .. I for one welcome a tad of snobbery on YT ^^

[marlenelandstravels]

LMFAO that rant at the end, so true, double standard over here. People buy apple computer without thinking it is a scam but wont take a course to better themselves. I looove your channel, and I love how real you are and giving REALISTIC point of view! Keep it up my man

[CreativeThinking]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Happy holidays!!🎅🎄👍👏

[AprilClayton]

I’ve learned more from you on how to get views by following your advice on thumbnails. Tony and Chelsea mentioned you in a video, and I’m so glad you share your knowledge.

[MadisonPhillipsOfficial]

You have provided nothing but gold and value. The thing that I love the most is that you are real and relatable. I love your channel been watching for years but first Comment plenty of liking. Need more like this!
