    I’ve watched most of your videos and you have repeatedly expressed the big picture of your success. I understand wanting to clarify (you are quite transparent), but for anyone that has actually watched your videos.. you haven’t been misleading at all. Appreciate all you do and aspire to help even a small fraction of who you have helped. 🤓💙

    Dear Jen, It's very honourable that you are going that deep into your response to that. I need to say that the first video was very clear on the fact that what counted was the time that you decided to take it seriously and committed to posting 3 times a week. I can feel that it affects you, and that you are maybe over explaining yourself, or excusing yourself for succeeding when your previous video was so joyful and happy and inspiring. Don't feel like you need to justify anything, it's well deserved, and you're very inspiring! xo Simone

    Jen, thx a lot. It is tough. Tough tough tough to stay motivated. My channel is totally new. 11 videos, barely any subs or views. Struggling to stay motivated but hanging on in there, learning, watching others and trying to find my groove. But the truth is if you start from SCRATCH, from ZERO it is a much harder job to get seen, grow or monetise instead of reviving a previous channel.

    As I started watching this, I didn't know where the story was going to go, but your explanation to the commenter started becoming relatable. Very recently, my friends have talked about doing this RUclips thing "for real," as in creating content with the goal of monetizing. Until now, I had never taken that seriously. A video of yours appeared on my recommended feed recently, along with a few other "RUclips over 40" videos and it's really making me think about it. I'm writing this under my artist channel. The channel was really just a place for me to upload my music in some kind of video form. My oldest video was published in 2006! Watching your video, it made me think about how long I've had this channel and how late in the game I take things a little more seriously. My subscriber count is currently 136 (over 18 years 😆). If I started my content creator journey and claimed I reached 1K in 30 days, I'd have a lot of 'splainin' to do. 😁

    Great video Jen. As a RUclipsr over 40 myself I would have loved something like this when I was starting out back in 2020 but I never found anything at the time. As a result I did much the same sort of video as this one on my channel back in July this year with a focus on a similar "less is more" approach. Unlike yours though, my views are super low for some reason so if you can spare a few minutes here it is: ruclips.net/video/2w-NfUd3qBs/видео.html

  • @shahidwiggins
    @shahidwiggins 3 дня назад

    The problem that I run into is that I have so much information and knowledge when it comes to spirituality and understanding. And when you’re trying to help someone transform their lives is not just one video but it’s a process. It’s almost like my videos have to be part one to part 50. Meaning everything goes together, is sort of like putting a link in the chain. So to keep everything from coming out at once, I have to strip my videos to keep it simple to stay on point. Because the natural thing for me to do is wanna go deeper. Understanding that it would be too much for a person to consume all at once. (Which is why I’ve written a book) so I struggle with making my content concise and to the point for that one video. Empowering people to understand what’s inside of them by giving a spiritual understanding to biblical scriptures is a hard task when you’re super religious.

What should one do when all of these "encouraging you to get on YT videos" starts to feel more like being peer pressured to post videos? I should just get rid of YT I'm already burned out with it, and I haven't even posted anything.

    Hi Jen, I am almost 40 and I recently joined on RUclips. I was asking myself if this was the right decision at this age. I am still a little in doubt :) I am keeping my channel a secret among the people that I know. I am a polymer clay jewelry artist, so I decided to go ahead with my idea and stop waiting. I have a few subscribers and I am waiting for some amazing things to happen here :) I am learning along the way, and have found my niche, so let's get better and better :) Greetings from Europe.

    That last step is the power of vulnerability and in most people it elicits a sense of empathy and a desire for the person to do well and get through it. Saying it out loud also psychologically calms you down because you are naming it. I am trying to be as authentic as I can, I do have adhd and the thought of trying to present myself as all together and styled is unsustainable for me so I have adopted the ‘if you like my message you’ll stay but if not then I’m not for you’ I don’t want a million followers just enough to make me feel like my message is getting out there. Biggest obstacle for me is saying ‘Errm’ a lot even when I am slowed down and thinking. I don’t think I have realised how much I must do this in my everyday speech, it was a shock. I have a great vocabulary and don’t feel nervous but it’s obviously a habit that has been there I haven’t noticed. That and touching my face and glasses along. I’m a hot mess 😂but loving the journey.
