Start before you know how.

As creators, we often spend hours on end watching videos on how to get better at making videos rather than just making the videos.

I hope this video will give you some practical advice on how to overcome this.

I'm really enjoying creating this style of video and never in my wildest dreams expected it to do so well. Are there any other topics related to content creation you want me to talk about?

"Preparing to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Making a to-do list for the thing isn't doing the thing.

Telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn't doing the thing.

Writing a banger tweet about how you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Hating on yourself for not doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on other people who have done the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on the obstacles in the way of doing the thing isn't doing the thing.

Fantasizing about all of the adoration you'll receive once you do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Reading about how to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about how other people did the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading this essay isn't doing the thing.

The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing."

To the person who reads this, you will be a great YouTuber

The key, to anything you do, is to **keep** enjoying it. Even when you don't know what you are doing. Learn to enjoy the journey, embrace the unknown, and find pleasure in the hiccups.

Cooking, Designing, Woodwork, Writing, Exercise, Suduko, Gaming, Streaming, Content Creation, Haircutting, Make-up, Painting, Driving, Running, DJing, Speaking a new language, Moving to a new city, Kayaking, anything.

Understand the privilege of getting to do those things. And enjoy doing them.

Because if you enjoy it, you will keep doing it. And if you keep doing it, you will get better.

Peace brother ✌

Analysis Paralysis - Glad to know it's not only myself who is struggling with this! Thanks for sharing mate.

[TheZenYuzu]

What makes me sad ... I have to build a video purely around a thumbnail and title to even stand a chance. Instead of complex interesting topics that can't be summed up in a picture or minimal characters.

[kelvinmoffatt]

The soft lighting aesthetic is a vibe.

[Old-Dog-NewTricks]

I've been bouncing between excuses not to start YouTube for a while, videos like this are what inspired me to finally start.

[TOJImation]

I discovered your channel through the "just start" video a week ago, and this video proved to me that i did the right decision by subscribing to you.

Thanks a lot for the video, so relatable.

[learningtogetheredu]

Yeah this is a good one. Wanting the video to be peferct is an excuse people use not to do things.

[A.A.RunOfficial]

From one new creator to another... We got this! Ben, thanks for this video! Love the style.

[Willkeepup]

Your message really resonated with me. It’s so easy to get caught up in trying to make everything flawless that we end up not starting at all. Your perspective is not only refreshing but incredibly motivating. Thanks for pushing us to take action and embrace the learning process. Keep the great content coming!🙏🙏

[tylertalkstraveltrailers]

Exactly how I’m feeling right now. I get so stressed about it be perfect I never even take the first step. The last week I’ve been really focusing on just taking action and noticed once I start just taking action it feels really good.

[handpowers]

thank you for this video. this is a reminder for me to continue the planting the videos, so I can reap the good fruit of tomorrow.

[marlenekonu]

I love Youtube more than any other platform, it's clearly the place that changes lives, where anyone can become anything they want with a little hard work. I need to find the time to get involved here, so thanks for your video, which has made me want to get serious!

[Aspiiire]

Man, you nailed it! I stopped for 2 years! 2 years! and I fealt stuck and unable to make new videos, I had everything! Ideas, best of items lights everything but I felt like stuck!

[freysoh]

I appreciate what you’re saying in this video. Motivates us new budding content creators and people who are seeking to break out from the 9-6

[granite_]

Just start.

I feel like the new wave of creators with under-edited & under-polished is in reaction to the corporatization of the OG creators who now have tons of money and make repetitive slop. The ones who sell you YouTube courses, for example.

[liamminerYT]

Thanks for this. I can relate to the desire to do two types of content - well produced and high effort and thoughtful low effort videos. I think it is a balance between wanting to actually be more creative and learn/ practice creative skills, and also just get a video out.

[BICICLETA]

Just what I needed to hear. Thank you for being so transparent and for sharing your journey in this way, very inspiring! Hope this channel really takes off, you truly deserve it. Much love brother <3
