If you have 0 subscribers, create videos like you have a million. If you have a million, create like you have 0. This is such wonderful advice. Thanks, Matt!
🙌🏻🤗☀️
My favorite piece of advice too. It feels like a kick in the butt.
Practice like you've never won a game, and compete like you've never lost a game.
Exactly!
Agreed. Matt is so inspiring!!
I really should be making a video right now.
OMG 2 of my favorite people Matt and Tim 😆😆😆
As I watch this, I'm telling myself "I should be making a video right now."
Hi Erika! Love your vids.
lol
@@SamLui Hi Sam! Thank you!
Yep 🙃
i will start watching your videos..

@@mattdavella2117 Why make a fake channel
*“You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending”*
Love from a small channel💙
Well said
lot things happened in this video.. Thank you matt
You are far from a loser Matt. I’ve watched your videos for a couple of years now....I’m 60, partly retired. What attracts me..your authentic way of presenting how you discipline yourself and how you keep life simple. Your videos have shown me how to discipline myself in a time of change (working to retirement). So thank you (and Natalie) for being open, honest and for showing us all we can overcome and move forward in whatever we want.
I have utmost respect for creators of all types. I can't imagine the pressure of creating interesting engaging content repeatedly and staying current and fresh. Mad respect and I appreciate the fruit of your labor!
Continuing to show up regardless of that fear. This is probably the most realistic video I've seen. Very inspiring video for us small creators, Matt!
This video hits home. I never had a viral video but the joy comes from making videos that I find fun and interesting that helps to solve data science problems. This journey called RUclips is a marathon, it’s okay to slow down, some days are super productive which may make up for the unproductive days. Some days is like a sprint while some days are like recovery/procrastinating days. And yes, “I should be making a video”. Great video Matt!
This video definitely made me look at being a RUclipsr differently. I’ve been making videos on RUclips off and on for about 5 years now. I just made my return back to RUclips 5 days ago, now I feel like I’m back in my happy place. I can definitely relate to starting off making easy content at the beginning but soon realized that I wanted to do more. This explains why me and RUclips have this on and off relationship. Honestly I’m here to stay now because I realized I love making videos and not just reaction videos. I’m an over thinker so I expect more from myself; this crippled me because I started to believe that reaction were the only content I’ll ever be able to create. Maybe I fear stepping out the box and showing a side of me people never seen before and maybe I feel like I’m not interesting enough because I’m 24 still living with my parents and really don’t get out much. I’m hungry enough to get to the next level with this but I never knew how. I also believed if I had more friends as RUclipsrs I’ll be more on point and focused about it. I now see that if I apply myself In a different form, fashion, show who I really am and put the time into my content I’ll enjoy it more despite the views. I really appreciate you for this video and I will definitely be taking note from other RUclipsrs to help elevate myself as a person and a creator.
You're not a loser. You're lovely and inspiring. Lots of happiness and success to you and Nat. Hope Aussie is still a great adventure for you both.
I'm not a RUclipsr, nor do I plan on becoming one, but this was still very motivational and exactly what I needed to hear right now
What do you plan on becoming? I plan on becoming a self publishing author.
The most relatable video any creator can watch.
that's kinda sad
agreed

@@SaadZaeemTechnology Nah, Bro.
U posted this comment 2 mins after he posted the video, it’s 14mins long. Stop being so fake lol
My first career was in the music and entertainment industry, because I thought that working for clubs and festivals was the same as the feeling of going to those festivals.
And the realization that that wasn't the truth was a hard lesson to learn. But I also think you have to go through it yourself to actually understand it.
I'm clearly not a professional youtuber, but this was still really relatable
I have never wanted to be a youtuber, but I think this is great information for those out there that do! A lot of the gen Z want to be influencers and such, but I don't know that they realize there is a LOT of behind the scenes work and dedication needed. It isn't just a party!!
I love how close I am to finally popping off with more content. I always enjoy your videos - and I'm so glad you're creating "how to" RUclips content!
This should be a must watch for all creators new and old!
Yup! I just started my channel and Matt's channel has definitely helped!
So eye opening to see a large RUclipsr talking openly about problems I struggle with as a small RUclipsr! Thanks for the motivation Matt 🙌
I agree with everything you said specially the failure aspect of doing RUclips as a full-time job. It hasn't been easy but like you said you gotta pull through those hard days and just try your best to make it work.
Thank you for this video
You‘re speaking out of the soul of any creator on RUclips. Thanks for doing your thing Matt! 🙏🏼
Honestly one of my favourite videos of yours. Love how honest you were about this and as a content creator myself this helped me stay sane about the “mundane” part of being a ytber. Feeling so inspired again by you as always!!
wow didn't expect a Bruneian RUclipsr to reply. Well, u inspired me too bro!
This is so relatable. Especially the doubts and fear. I think most people don't understand how challenging it is to be a RUclipsr! But being able to create things as a job is so so special!!
I hear you. So hard to push through when you see absolutely no results for months and months. I needed to hear this from someone as successful as you.
The part about you in front of your computer saying this is when you are the happiest. Made me laugh so much and I can definitely relate. This is what kept me going...enjoying the process so much!
Thank you for sharing your experience!
All great things are challenging in ways both obvious and hidden. Bringing your challenges to light with this video will serve to help many of us who are trying to build our own channels, so thank you for your willingness to be transparent about the process's barriers to success and the pitfalls along the way. Your mental health and wellness content is often my favorite content, Matt.
I literally laughed so hard when you offered the guy your hand and said “How are you doing” 😂
This is the best description I’ve listened to of what it’s like to do RUclips full time. I’m only early days but everything you said is truth. Self doubt and patience for me is a battle. Loved this, new sub and can’t wait to watch more.
Thank you always being so real, raw and transparent with your experience. It is amazing to see someone here be so down to earth about your journey.
Just started creating videos myself and can completely relate to the scene of being at peace and finding joy in editing! It may not be the constant travel and glamour that it appears to be, but making videos is so fulfilling 😌
Loved the video as always, Matt!
That conversation you talked about made me laugh so hard hahah... at the same time that would totally be me lol.
Btw. the timing of this video is amazing. My video from last week has kinda blown up in comparison to my usual stuff and I'm feeling sooo pressured by all the new subscribers, so thanks for calming me :)
I love this! I think everyone’s goal should be able to find what makes you most happy and find a way to do it full time. I started my channel 2 years ago not having a clue how to make videos but I quickly found out that making videos and being creative is what makes me happy. The goal to create full time is still on going but I keep turning up because I love the process of making things and learning everyday. Thanks Matt!
This is so relatable and 100% agree about RUclips forcing you to face your fears- its pushed me outside of my comfort zone in so many ways and I feel more like "me" since starting because of the things I've had to overcome. I loved this video
This was really encouraging and helpful! I am just starting out, and I'm not very good. I haven't made a lot of videos yet, but I am starting to put more time into them and I do think that I am slowly improving. Great advice and perspective. Thanks Matt!
"True fulfillment doesn't look like you think it does." I love that.
I dont agree with that fully!!🤔
"They think the feeling of watching a RUclips video, is the same feeling as making a youtube video" - That's soooo true. Even now 100 videos in, when I'm making videos I find myself expecting this surge of "sensation" to come over me that is similar to how I feel watching a complete video and it of course doesn't happen. Making the video is dull, and then I turn it (hopefully) into something that generates a sensation into others (and myself watching the completed product). Spot on Matt!
So glad you made this video. Really great to hear your perspective as someone who does it full time and truly see “behind the curtain”
I definitely had that feeling of ‘why am I putting these hours of work for a video that only will get 10 views’. I snapped out of it by realising the power of eternity! Remembering that whatever I put out there will be up FOREVER.
So many of us can relate to that feeling of starting out and not getting any traction. What's helped me the most is just enjoying the process. Content creation can be fun! It doesn't always have to be about the views, which is something I'm constantly reminding myself of.

Hi Derek. If you are reading this you should go check out Derek. You can thank me later.
It’s like starting a business you’ll fail a couple of times and keep failing until you reach a point where you’ve failed so much that you are improving and starting to master your craft .
Yh but it’s the journey that matters and the constant progression and improving that is worth it
One of my favorite vlogger. I could say #1. There are alot of things I can relate to him. Now Im also a vlogger. Following my passion. I listen to his vlog like almost everyday. After I woke up in the morning. As of today. I already have 450 subscribers / 75,000 views for almost 4 months. Looking forward to reach 1,000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours
I really needed to watch this! ❤️ I’m just on my way to 4K subscribers on my photography channel but because it started to pick some traction now, I feel like I have to push myself more. It can be so easily overwhelming when we think we have to be posting constantly. Great video as always! THANK U!
Matt's company: Slow Growth
My RUclips experience so far: Slow Growth 😂
Ch
Same! x
Same here
This is really hard-hitting and important advice to give and hear. I appreciate you Matt, because you're genuinely invested is helping us be better RUclipsrs, like Harris Heller is invested in helping people become better streamers and creators.
Watching established channels, everything looks like it comes so easily, but there's always a lot of hard work that goes on in the background. Thanks for keeping it real!
That line about happiness was spot on. Great work Matt! Hope you are settling into Australia well!
When I first started my RUclips account, I sought advice from creators who specialize in growing your channel. This is different than your course as you have a large channel that was grown from original content 😔 They always talked about the algorithm and numbers and would show off their numbers in order to get you to seek their advice more and continue watching. As a creative, it crushed my want to keep on uploading. Because that is not why I create. I create because it feels good to share something healing and beautiful with the world. 👏🌸 It's when I STOPPED CARING about numbers that my channel started growing. If you feel really stressed out about your numbers, upload schedule etc, REMEMBER why you started. Remember that you are a human being that has needs as a creative. 💞🙏
Matt makes being a RUclipsr look easy.
Glad to see a bit behind the scenes and know I'm not alone 😂
I absolutely love this because its so true. More than half of the video is the edit and it takes so much time on the computer. I have also been asking myself as a soon to graduate highschooler and wonder if i can continue to make videos in the future. This has been infinitely helpful! Love you man! #mattiandpeteshow needs to see this. Answers the question of the last episode so so well.
I really enjoy making sewing contents on youtube, everytime i post a video i feel so fulfilled and happy. I can relate to what you're saying Matt, Being a youtuber isn't an easy journey, sometimes i feel like want to give up because there are lots of thing to do while i still work on another job which is my clothing business. But what driven me to keep doing it is my vision and purpose. Hopefully someday I can get to the stage where you are now, who can make a living from youtube 😊

I needed this video cause I haven't uploaded for a month already
EDIT: THAT'S IT, I'm uploading a new video tonight/tomorrow
This is such a solid video. Thank you sir!
I watched your 2 documentaries about minimalism on the weekend. Great job!!
Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Hey Matt! 👋🏼 I enrolled in the course last week and just want to say that I’m so grateful for all that you do! 🙏🏼 Having you as a sort of an indirect mentor has been incredible. Every time I click on one of your videos, it’s exactly what I need to hear and I’m just so excited for what’s to come! ✨hey, how are ya?✨ 😆😆😆
"If you have 0 subscribers, you should create videos like you have a million...and if you have a million, you should create like you have 0."
Ugh. Love this statement so much. So true. It's all about the mindset going into it honestly. Love this Matt!

I had a similar experience when I had someone walk up to me and say "Hey, I love your videos"... I think most people don't realize that most RUclipsrs are Introverts and we are awkward haha.
it's weirddd, people in my school have started to find my channel and the other day my brother's friend messaged me saying she loved my videos, i'll never get over the fact that real people watch my content ahah
🙌🏻🙏🏻🤗
I didn’t realise this. I’m wanting to make videos to get out of my comfort zone and pursue a creative life. I’m an introvert and thought RUclips was for more extroverted people. Makes me feel I can actually do this.
Sorry I ruin your 69 like to 70
Same and I am NOT even a BIG RUclipsr I am very teeny tiny youtube ... like very!!’ And I was so blown away when someone said hey I know you from your videos 😭😭😭😭😭 it was so sweet
u love this! i always wondered, and it's really useful and amazing seeing it so truthfully told and in a way that's easy to understand. thank u!
I love when someone decides to share their experience and knowledge which we all can use in our own areas.
Thanks!
You motivated me to be a RUclipsr.
I really love having a full-time job and just doing youtube for fun =) That way I can do what I want and don't have to cater towards expectations

yeah but the grind though! I missed an upload day for the first time this week because I'm completely drained and I feel so guilty for taking time to rest omg
@@JessicaVianaa The trick is filming a bit in advance if that is possible ;D
@@TheDhammaHub Believe me I've tried but unfortunately there's only so much editing I can do in a week and I always end up only being able to edit 1 video a week even if I've filmed more... but I'm trying!
I have the struggle between the excitement for my next projects and the feeling over overwhelming!
thats why I try to watch myself everyday so I can see, when I get lost :)
its quite good to hear that struggle from you, too, Matt!!! ☺️
When you first start creating videos, it can feel like you are doing a lot of things wrong. That’s why this was awesome to watch and relatable in everywhere. Tons of value!
Thanks Matt Sir, I've learnt a lot from you,
You've helped me to deal with my problems
Thank you so very much 😊😊😊
As a budding RUclipsr, as you said, of course my end goal is to make a full-time career out of making videos. But there is always a constant fear and doubt if it can ever be possible.
It will be great if you could share how you dealt with that fear and anxiety in your early days, and how you overcame it.
The slow-motion laugh-- so good. I'm trying to improve every video, that's it. Thank you for reminding me that the way to beat the algorithm is to just make better and better content.
Love these videos! Always super insightful. I just finished up the course and love all of the practical advice and walkthroughs. Appreciate what you do Matt!

That Peter McKinnon parody at the start 🤣
thanks matt. love ur course so much. time is sooo elusive with a full time job tat is crazy and a new baby. i have to push through on this dream. everytime i pick up a camera and shoot, it felt reallly good.
I have a new found respect and love for yours and every creators videos after joining the Master RUclips course. I can truly understand how much work is needed for every single video
Each and Every second of this video is so freaking relatable 🤧
I love how you're always able to articulate exactly what I'm feeling, always so relatable 😭
Makes me feel like everything is going to be okay :')
It is so relaxing to just listening Mattt . xx love.
So encouraging! I was feeling frustrated but watching this video really picked me up. Thanks Matt! Your course sounds great!
First 30 seconds hits the nail on the head.... “I reallllly should be making a video right now”

Hi Tayo!
I can tell you’re speaking from the heart here, Matt. I really needed this video, so thank you 🙏
Thank you for this wonderful video Matt, truly inspiring!
If we ever meet in person, I really hope to remember to say "Hey how's it going?" at the end of our chat :D
I should be making a video right now...
😂
Ayyy an mcyt!
Really needed this, thank you!!
I think the most time-consuming part is the editing, sadly it a long process to success. I glad you did not quit Matt, your videos are immaculate
Do you actually edit videos on a MacBook? I imagine that it would be tough on such a small screen.

If trully want to be a RUclipsr, start now!
Another great video! Thanks for your openness on this topic and your journey so far.
Matt has been one of my biggest inspiration to start sharing my message. Thank you so much for all your content and I can easily relate to everything you share in this video, the "I should be filming right now" is an every day thing in my life haha
5:27 is the key.
“I should really be making a video right now”. Yes, but also “I should be studying right now”.
This is just what I needed to hear and is so relatable!! "I should be making a video right now" "one more time!" Etc. And all the thoughts on fears and doubts. Thank you!! 🙏🙏💗
there's a lot of fear that comes with starting a youtube channel, but i've gained so much good things from that fear. I'm wayyy more confident in myself than i was two years ago, it's helped me grow into who i want to become, learn so many new skills that go into filmmaking, and also just general life skills like time management and public speaking. doing this on top of full time school is a LOT but i wouldn't change it for the world, even if i never make a cent from my videos, it's been so valuable to me.
if you want to make videos and there's something holding you back, go for it! what's the worst thing that could happen?
thank you..my perfectionist self stopped me but i am doing it anyway
“I should be making a video right now”
🥲
Woah! This definitely has to be one of my favorite video! Loved how well everything is explained and that you shared some amazing tips too! Thanks to you for always inspiring us to grow and get better! :)
Found your channel thanks to David from la ducha fría just subscribed!!I am into the process and isn’t as easy as we think when we are watching a video than creating one thanks for sharing I missed the date but I hope you’re doing it again into the part of doing videos and nobody watching sometimes is painful still trying to do my best and try to improve every new video and I will persist ...
Watches Matt for multiple years.
"Hey Matt how's it going?"
“I should be making a video right now.” I felt that in my soul 🤣
Hahaha everyday! x
Yo SO the bimmer guy👌👊
Thanks for making even more videos! You’re an inspiration and all that you say is greatly appreciated and admired
You are such an inspiration, this kinda of video that you talk and make it in your way it os so cool !! Keep with this, i'm enjoying so much 👏👏
*Average person*
Expectation: Wow, I can make money just by uploading videos without having a job? Cool!
Reality (after 10 months): I am finding a job, RUclips is amazing, but it's not what I thought. You have this effort and you would get almost NOTHING in return, except amazing fans. I'm getting burned out, I think of quitting.
2 months later: I am officially quiting RUclips! I'm done.
*Last upload 7 years ago*
damn i loved this matt!!!! such a relatable video! well, i should be making a video right now so have a great day!
Great Video Matt! You really captured the life of a RUclipsr. Thank u
Love ya mate.Watching this in quarantine allways feels refreshing.
I think Matt should do a skit based on the "How's it going" gym incident 😂
support 😂 I was genunely howling at that part
