I am a fellow creator and YOU are not alone 💡🔥💪

[MichaelSabo]

Coming from someone who has been a creator for 8 years going on 5 years full time - most of this is true and even now, still applicable, just on a larger scale. If I can give any advice, it's to use other successful creators as an inspiration and driving force, but ultimately, not to compare your success to theirs directly and to remember to celebrate all of your wins, even if it's your first 100 views. The biggest and best in the world were all noobs at one time. Anyways, that's all. See ya.

[RyanMercer]

I agree with the feeling hard to create part. My wife has been urging me to quit and go full-time and we're looking to move in a few months which would make me feel much more comfortable about quitting my job to do it. I just never have time to edit, I'm always 10-20 videos behind schedule, and can't actually do the fun involved stuff I want to.

[TheFilmFanatic_Handle]

Lot of people are going to disagree with me, but DONT SET SUBSCRIBER GOALS IN A LIMITED TIME SPACE. Subscriber or video goals are fine as long as you DONT limit your time, because once you fail that goal you will be crushed

YouTube is a marathon, not a race, and I wish us all good luck ❤

I'm a fellow creator and you are not alone. Your call to action worked!

[ChristiCritterz]

My favorite quote ever "What would you achieve, if you knew you could not fail?" I try to remember this everyday, because quitting is the only true failure. Even if I get 47 views, there are 47 people out there watching my videos. Another thing I think of, what if those 47 people are over at my home, watching my videos? That's a lot of people in the beginning, I know we see the Youtubers we look up to with millions of views, but I think its good to grow slowly. Slow and steady wins the race.

Bookmarked this gem of a video, to rewatch it several times to remind me that I am not alone in this struggle, it's a fun but difficult journey.

Youtube algorithms are like 50% hardwork and 50% luck

[Wanderers-restful-realms]

This is very relatable as a small channel. It’s sometimes hard to find the motivation to continue posting when you feel that no one is watching. I hope we all reach our goals, and remember your not alone 🙏

[ElementalityStudios]

The part about doing YouTube alone hit pretty hard. After 16 years I'm finally seeing some potential growth, but the weight of having to record, edit, create thumbnails, create shorts and more has definitely gotten heavier. Fortunately, I have friends and family who are supportive, but it's mostly just a "I love that for you, keep it up!" While that does help encourage me a bit, I don't have anyone in my immediate circles who really share that ambition and passion towards content creating.

I have a good rhythm going, but hoping I can find other like-minded creators at some point to be able to bounce off each other!

[EtchAndSketch]

I treat my YouTube channel like a small plant 🌱 I water it regularly and trim off any dead leaves in the hope that one day it will grow to become a big, strong tree 🌲

Good luck everyone.

I'm a fellow creator and you are not alone.

After about 9 months of creating videos i can say that everything in this video is true. One moment you feel like giving up then the next video does well and you're extremely eager to create more. This cycle goes on and on. The only thing I can say is keep going and celebrate the small wins you get. I'm staying on the grind and so should YOU!

The main problem on YouTube right now is the fact that you have to upload as much as possible or you get buried and never appear in search and recommended tab again :) You don't know what to upload, but you have to. You don't want to upload 3 times/week, but you have to. You need to trick people with hooks and crap to get some audience retention or the algorithm will decide your video sucks. You can't tell a story, you have to give the viewer what's in the thumbnail in the first 10 seconds, or they leave. You put the interesting part at the end and ask people to stay till the end to view that. "In this video..." "10 tips to improve your crap and the last one will blow your mind!" "I love 5 things about this product, but I hate one...and it's a deal breaker for some." It's all about thumbnails, social engineering, tricks, dirty advertising and a lot of planning in advance. You now create a video idea and a script based on the thumbnail. Yes, you first make a thumbnail and then make a video based on that. You ask the viewer to subscribe and like at the start of the video, even though they don't even know who you are and how good your video is. You sell them courses, apps and subscriptions. You hide your content under paywalls with members-only videos and Patreon. You sell merch with your channel's name on it. Mugs, t-shirts, aprons and bags. And there's no alternative to YouTube (shut up with your Rumble, there's none), you either play by their rules, or your subscribers won't get notified when you upload and your videos will not be on their feed. All this to get a shot at telling a story you didn't want to tell anyway, but you had to.

There are moments when I wonder why my intentions aren’t manifesting the way I want them to. I’ve tried everything, or so I thought, but it wasn’t until I opened Portals of Manifestation, published by Oliver, that everything started to make sense. This book helped me see how my own thoughts were misaligned with my desires. Now, I feel a calm confidence that things are moving in the right direction

[Tekkerue]

Another big reason that the youtube algorithm horrendously sucks now. My sister and I have a joint account for creating fanvids/AMVs/crackvids and we recently started cross posting our videos to tiktok and the vast majority have done much better on tiktok. Our last video has 3.4k views on youtube and 68.2k on tiktok. Another video has 58k views on youtube and 744k on tiktok. We've also had our videos completely disappear from the youtube search and we know what to search for to find it. When this happens, we have to go into the video and make a small change like modify the title, then it will show back up in the search again. This has happened multiple times on different videos. My sister has said she follows a lot of editors who have left youtube for tiktok because youtube has gotten so bad over the past few years. Unfortunately, youtube only seems to keep getting worse and worse with no signs of improving. 😩

[DominicHamel]

Is it possible that YouTube tests our endurance, patience, resilience and perseverance, to see if we want continue or give up? That's what I understand. Am I wrong? 13:21.

[Tuelz...]

In the beginning you have to sacrifice... I think alot of ppl watch YouTuber and think they can stream for 2-4 hours then chill. Yeah when your at 2 million subs your can... ppl have to remember they are watching a finished product... a master at it when you watch Speed or MrBeast. When I started I literally was animating for 3-4 hours a day... taking classes on skills like blender and scripting for 3 hours a day... watching videos on ppl like me to learn what they doing right... streaming 2 hours ....literally from 9am to 8pm sometimes 10pm. 5-6 days a week... yes that means I couldn't hang out with friends or even have a life. Now at 500k I still work long hours but most of it is just making content not learning skills. And at anytime if I need to hang out I can drop anything and do it but the first 5 years was GRIND heavy. If you really want to make it guys you have to understand in the beginning you have to sacrifice alot of time. I'm nowhere even near where I'm gonna be at there's alot more work I have to do but I definitely broke out the 99.9% dropout rate with hard work

[WheresHarris]

I hear this!!! This is exactly what I've been going through for months!!! Nice to know I'm not alone. Stuck at 750 subs but im going to keep going. Hopefully all of you do as well 😊

[Lroy]

Here’s why YouTube is hard. The algorithm/audience tells you what to do. Wanna grow? Wanna make money? Serve the viewers. And btw that changes constantly. So keep up. The odds you’ll love that grind is very low. The odds that you have the personality to maintain something else, videos that YOU want to do, Is very low. The gurus all say that anyone can do it but actually that is not true.

[MYSTXC_EDITS]

no these mfs are just really unfair these guys are monetising content farmers but not grinding editors like me 💀💀🙏🙏 I got rejected for 4 f*cking times istg
