1. Motivation for making videos has shifted from seeking success or popularity to personal growth, improving communication skills, and enjoying the process. 2. Comparing oneself to bigger creators led to burnout and frustration but now focus on consistency, self-expression, and building a small but meaningful community. 3. Start RUclips channels not for views but for self-development and the opportunity to document personal progress.
I 100% agree with you! My motto is: Be yourself, believe in yourself, and listen to yourself. This is great information, and I just subscribed. Thanks for allowing RUclipsrs like myself to follow your journey. Much appreciated!
It's a lovely perspective to see making videos as a tool for personal development, your watchers grow as you grow. I'm going to only speak about what I'm passionate about from now on. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing video and loved your honesty and vulnerability!! You are going to FLY! I can totally see it!! Was the inspiration I needed as am in total freeze mode of being able to film! Keep going!
I'm just like you and I can relate to your thoughts about showing up here on RUclips. I wish I realized this sooner but I am so thankful that I started anyway. Thank you for sharing this video.
Hey 👋 Thanks for sharing this. I’m introverted as well. I love doing RUclips but have always had a hard time (the bigger I’ve gotten) with the random mean commenter. They can be brutal. It’s tough to read. I don’t think I’ll ever develop a “thick skin” to that.
I remember MKBHD said that you should always make videos which you would watch yourself. And although I do like Ali Abdaal's video production but I also love these simple sit-down videos with no heavy editing. Also because it's difficult to do that on your own haha. So keep it up!
I went through a phase of editing my videos in that style - but it felt inauthentic and, to be honest, I don’t enjoy it. I’ve been way more successful since I stopped editing to be honest!
Keep it up! I love your storytelling style and how clearly you communicate your opinions. The way you inspire creators deserves more followers, but people haven’t discovered it yet, I guess.
Really nicely put James. I know it takes a lot of drive to push through especially with less number of subscribers, but everybody has to go through that phase. Kudos to you for putting out these videos.
I just subscribed:) I totally agree with you! I started a RUclips channel few months ago and since then I have learned a lot and I know there much more to be learned and I will continue improving and growing and learning:) thank you for sharing this video with us, it inspired me to continue going:)
I think RUclips works for people that are actually passionate about what they want to share to the world and about content creation. If you're in here just to blow up and get big, then it's not worth the hustle cause you won't enjoy the process and it shows in the final product, people won't get passionate about your videos if you're not even passionate about it
Anything that you hate is unsustainable in my experience. This works if you love it - because you will accept making videos that get zero views for the love of the craft. Eventually you will find success anyways
