Content creation has completely changed my life in 8 months

8 months ago I became a full-time content creator. After many years of trying my dreams finally became a reality.

Everything I had hoped for and imagined it to feel like far exceeded my expectations.

There is absolutely nothing better in the world than waking up every day and getting the chance to work on the thing that I want to work on.

Wow the response to this video has been like nothing I could have ever imagined. Thank you so much for all the kind messages and I am so so happy that I have been able to inspire so many people. Keep going and never stop.

For every aspiring content creator watching, this is exactly how your story would turn out to be. Just get at it.

I'm 44, thought I'm too old to start YouTube. Then I took a risk and decided to make a video. I got out my expensive Sony cam and cinema lenses, wrote, shot, produced and edited a long video for two weeks and was drained by the end. I thought it wasn't worth my time and talent to put so much effort in for nothing. Last night, on a whim, I just grabbed my iphone and recorded some thoughts about a movie and you know what? I HAD A BLAST! I stumbled into the joy of it and felt far more comfortable speaking into my phone than my expensive Sony...now I want to make more!

I don't have a twitch account. I don't really use Tiktok....I've never seen you dude, I really needed to hear this. Thank you! Usually, videos like this are all about the revenue....and that's nice to hear....but at the end of the day, it's the freedom and peace of mind that we want. And it's great to be reminded.

This was beautiful. I listened to this while im working as a janitor cleaning bathrooms lol, ive been doing youtube and IG since 2012 but ive never applied proper strategy. In the past year i started a new YT channel and taking it more seriously and already at 2k subs in 1 year. I still post on this channel too. But i just know im gonna get free one day. Videos like this help me to keep going thank you. Youre so authentic, its rare to see

Thanks for the inspiration. I’m 2 years in and love my transition for a 30year designer to a newbie DIY home improvement content creator. I’m 60 now and to have over followers is an amazing feeling! My advise is to never look back and always move towards your dream at any age.

Awesome video, thanks for sharing your experience! Nowadays many content creators lack strategy. The upload everything straight away, and then they run out of ideas. This business is about constant uploading, but not too many times per week (and also after I upload something, I use a bit of Famester to make that piece of content instantly viral and popular). It's better to upload like once or twice per week, and it also helps to avoid burnout.

I'm 62 and just uploaded my first video this week. I have a background as a videographer/editor, so that wasn't what kept me from starting a channel from scratch. Then the algorithm sent videos like yours my way and I took that as a sign to start creating and am glad I did. Thank you.

14:36 is really why I enjoy content creation - the freedom to just LIVE. I’m a mom so I love the work life balance it affords me.

[BorderstoBridges]

Of all the human rights we feel entitled to these days, the freedom to live our days aligned with our inner calling is a rare gem... and quite overlooked. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story.

[tismeDenis]

Nothing ever beats authenticity & you 100% have it, thank you for this honest share. From a 65 Yr old young hearted dude who's getting into this after years of wanting to. 👍💪🏻🙏

Just three days ago, my husband and I took the leap and started our YouTube cooking channel. We’re at 7 subscribers, and it feels amazing to know people are already tuning in! Starting this journey was the best decision, and we’re excited to keep sharing our love for cooking with our subscribers. Here’s to growth and success for everyone of us following our passion!🥂🩷

I changed my plans and got over my perfectionism and self doubt to launched my first video yesterday. I kept telling myself I needed to do this or that first and be good at it before I can publish my first video. I switched to accepting being sub par for now as long as I get better with each video. I have considered deleting it at least once an hour since. I decided to view it differently - it got 11 views and 1 like. That means just over 9% of people who viewed it liked it. Sort of negative thoughts get negative results and positive thoughts get positive results.

Freedom is often what makes us feel rich. Wonderful story

[JordanRafealov]

Watching this video is my “right place, right time”

[dominikaszczerkowska]

What a refreshing video! I have never seen a content creator who would get emotional talking about their job. You seem so genuine and sensitive. I wish you all the best!

[pete.laverick]

I quit my corporate job this week.
I love making content, but I’m a long way off making it a full-time career, and that’s okay. All I know is that life is too short to NOT do something that makes you happy. I used to be a full time professional athlete, it was my dream growing up. Now I’m chasing the next dream.

Thank you for the motivational video man ❤

[tedmabaso]

You dont know the impact you're making just by sharing your journey really! keep going, you dont know the difference youre making in our lives!

[joshuarigby]

That moment at the end, when you’re saying you’ve finally achieved your content creator dream and you’re just beaming.. that’s wonderful man, wonderful to see. Inspires me to do the same

[GulliverStrange]

The actual problem on Youtube is that way too much content is absolute garbage nowadays. Clickbait titles, "surprised" faces in thumbnails and stock video footage is not content. It's garbage.
