I needed this today! Thank you!

I wish everyone success in their RUclips journey! You will make it, I know you are capable of whatever you set your mind to.

Really encouraging to hear from another introvert. I have been doing cover songs on my channel for a while but feel super weird just talking to the camera. I always thought that was for extroverts just being their natural selves on camera. But of course it is all about practise. So today I finally made my first spoken video ever. It is cringe and all but at least I didn't stop myself for once. Sub + like from me!

Introvert here too 🙌🏻 you make it looks so easyyy. do we really have to show our face up front to get RUclips subs and likes?

Fellow introvert with a small youtube channel in NZ. 😊

👍👍

This i needed to hear Ben... i have been struggling with my RUclips journey for few weeks now and the videos about views and tactics just overwhelmed me.. i stopped watching. few days now decided to quiet my mind and listen to my gut.. exactly what you say.. building community!! ✨ give value to people, make them feel comfortable watching and appreciate every single person. in this mad paced world we as individuals seem to matter less and less... everyone wants to feel they are important, to belong.. many channels now don't care about the average person. all what's important is sales.. maybe the mindset is so different at that stage ?... i have been rejected by people, from communities my entire life.. let people know you care Ben. you never know who is watching and you could change someone's life forever 🙌🏻✨✨🩷

just started my first channel last week, quality video with some nice motivation. Cheers 👊🏼

The video you mentioned motivated me and when I commented you gave me encouragement. So I jumped in and I now have 21 😂 subscribers. Lol. I am such an introvert but I am just being myself. We will see how it goes!

I have 7 subscribers and I’m very inspired by your video. Here’s to success for everyone!

Hello Ben! Greeting from the Netherlands! Subscribed to your channel because of your calm personality and your positive vibe mate! I fully understand your feeling of burnout as its often when the results you are getting are up for external validation (views) - I think that as long as the motivation comes from inside (I want to make nice videos or I want to challenge myself to see if something is possible) - its easier to sustain, even with ideas that sound impossible at first...

So fun! Love this and what you are trying to do.

Cool as a creator it is hard to to do videos I think this video is good. My channel was about autism but I notice it want getting anywhere so started to vlog still not working so I change to adventure as we are family who like to go out I still talk about my autistic son Videos go well is adventure and holiday videos . It’s in between them I find hard to create. I film on iPhone at the moment but will be getting DJI camera in high got mic . I think there been times I giving up but haven’t

I reckon documenting our beautiful country is a great idea 👏

Thanks Ben for this video 🙏 and also thanks for being true to yourself and your subscribers ✌️

I found your channel from the How RUclips Changed My Life Video and I clicked on it because on your thumbnail you look genuinely happy. I know that might sound weird lol...but so many times I see thumbnails where people are trying so hard to capture attention or so many times look fake happy. In your thumbnail you looked genuinely happy. It wasn't an overproduced thumbnail. I also loved that your video felt very real. Not over scripted or fancy. It came off as a genuine person sharing genuine thoughts and feelings. RUclips has become very overproduced at time and while that is good sometimes I just want to see someone that I can relate to. I have been at YT for over 10 years now. Most of my old channels are now deleted. I am giving it one more shot but I struggle so much with making time to create between work and being a Mom. I also struggle with picking a niche that I love and that I feel I can grown in for many years. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Love the vlogs around tauranga and NZ. 😍 but love to watch whatever content you create. Glad to hear you’re in a better space mentally. So proud of you in whatever you do! 🩵

I like how you seem to be a genuine human with a great heart and outlook on life. Good to see you back. It’s not an easy place however….im going to keep going and keep being me and just see where it takes me. I’m pretty sure the video you spoke on is also the video I subscribed to. I only just realized we had a community page a couple weeks ago and I’ve been on here just over a year.

I haven't filmed outside of my own home/land and maybe we could do an Introverts Film In Public Day - where we all try to go out in the world and post those videos.I think that is a genuine hurdle for content creators just starting out! I know it is for me. Love seeing how you are figuring out what you want to do with your channel.

Awesome food for thought Ben. I’m glad you are posting, whatever direction it heads, and even if it’s only once a month. Your viral video awhile back may have made me click but your genuine nature is what earned a subscribe. As someone who will someday visit NZ I do like the of you showcasing your home country from time to time, but hope you enjoy the process most importantly.

Honesty online?! Thanks for the vulnerability. It's something you don't often see from air-brushed content creators. But our world yearns for vulnerable, for honest, for real people. شكرأ حبيبي 😊

You inspired me to start posting a couple weeks ago. Thank you and thanks for this video. Rooting for ya.

I started watching because you had a Meteor 350, as I do too here in the UK. But you seem to be heading towards being a lifestyle channel, which is great. NZ is beautiful, so it'll be great to learn more about it. I did visit for a short 2 weeks back in the early 90s and loved it, especially the friendly people. Good luck with whatever direction you head in. Your personality will see you through 👍

Good for you, Ben! I'm your biggest fan. As I told you before, your video was what really helped get me motivated to just do it. I totally get the "own worst critic" thing. So excited to watch all your new videos and get to know more about you in the process. It's very cool that you're musical, you should share that with us too 😊

Very excited for your journey Ben! btw, i use a GoPro 10 for all my videos now ;) except from the "heating issue" i do love it! If you're ever coming to Denmark - hit me up ;)

Hi Ben, I just started a small RUclips channel aswell and I can totally relate when it comes to putting pressure on yourself. I think concentrating on the community more than on the subscriber count is really the way to go because it gives you joy instead of feeling upset that you don't have a certain subscriber count yet. I love your content and your personality. Keep going. You are doing an amazing job. 🥰

Ben, I'm going to start a RUclips channel about Personal Branding for Introverts soon and your videos have been so so inspirational. Your authenticity has really motivated me to start. Just wanted to say a huge thank you. Looking forward to seeing you and your channel grow in the next few years. You have all my support from now on. God bless!✌🏽

Hi Ben, real encouraging video. I've been on the fence about creating videos for some time (I have no experience doing this). Watching your videos recently got me in a good mindset and I've finally started creating. Thanks for the motivation 👍 Love the Moto vlogs too btw. NZ looks incredible

You building community, caring, invested in us, your people…integrity and vulnerabity at its best Ben! Take us on the journey!!! Continue to show the world how beautiful you and of course New Zealand is…AMAZING ❤

Wow Ben So real Thanks

Wow I'm amazed that you are recording on a GoPro. Glad you took some time off to reflect. I just came back from a 10 day break to recharge. Keep doing what makes you happy!

Thanks Ben, I can definitely relate to the feeling of being too hard on yourself. I have to slow down and I have been doing that. I'm a small channel in an oversaturated niche. I have not found my audience yet but I believe in the power of community. I really like where you're going with this. What I would like to see is how to make do with what you got and how to use them to the best of their capabilities. My retention goes way down too quickly when I slow down & my channel loses momentum. I'm so glad you're back and focused. Your studio looks great and I'm happy your children got a bigger bedroom! Best wishes to you my New Zealand friend! 😻🐾🩷 Alicia

Yeah buddy!! Love hearing your thoughts!!! Creation content you’re excited about is key huh!!

There's so many people that want to start a RUclips channel that are looking for anything that positively reinforces their idea of starting a channel. Your previous videos title did exactly that. It positively reinforced the idea of someone starting a channel while also negating the need for a massive amount of subscribers! It made a lot of people click (including me), and was delighted to see someone so authentic, genuine and relatable.

Awesome Ben. Look forward to the content to come!

Hope you got more NZ subs! Greetings from Dallas TX USA

I am an introvert too. I decided 2 weeks ago to get serious about getting out of my comfort zone. Watching this encourages me even more. I have posted a few videos, not much but crickets yet.

Man new zeland is nice😊

Well done.

❤❤❤

I’m excited to witness your journey and hopefully be inspired to start a channel myself!! 😊🩷 keep up the good work!!

Great video! I just started my channel (after over 10 years of wanting to do it). Working on overcoming analysis paralysis and finally posted my first terrible video yesterday. Yippy! I am trying to get in the habit of just posting videos now while I have no subs. Super helpful video. Keep up the great work! Thanks! 😃

You’ve got another kiwi subscriber! Inspiring stuff, great stuff mate!

Great! I am 40 and doing it now aswell! Thanks Mate!

This video is helping me!

Great story keep going!

Great vid. I subbed at 2.75k 🎉

Going from ”look what I’m doing” to ”look what you could do” attitude and becoming actually helpful for people is helping me grow my channel. I’m not the star of my channel. Motorbikes are. I’m just the tool pressing the buttons to make it happen.
