I have a few things to say, some things may seem offtopic but just take what you want from this. About your channel: It depends on what your goal is. Is the goal money? Do you not want to work a normal job and prefer to be "influencer"? If that is your goal you will need to be very persistent at least at the beginning AND do the things that attract viewers, I think you are clever enough to figure out what these things are. Are you doing it just for "fun" or for making community or whatever you call it? If that is the case you just need to be yourself, and of course post often enough so the algorithm doesn't kill you. But being true to yourself is the most important. There is something I call "filtering out people" I am very honest/direct person also sarcastic and etc. Basically on the surface, if you don't get to know me I am unlikable. But this is a great way to filter out people fast and eliminate people that won't stay for the long run. Uhhhh I did terrible job explaining that, let me know if you understood :( Is ithe goal both? Making money and staying true to yourself and following your morals/rules. This is the harvest option, I can't give any specific advice, because I don't know you and your morals/rules. From experience I can say this is the hardest but worth it. About the self-doubt I can't give specific advice because I don't start things if I don't think I can succeed. For example: I won't start a competetive game if I don't think I can reach the top, I won't participate in a tournament if I don't see myself winning, I won't spend 30 minutes writing this if I don't think you will read it. But I always say one thing - TRUST YOUR OLD SELF. Your old you, the You 30 days ago thought a lot about topic X and took decision, trust that decision, why you are doubting that person? Maybe I didn't explain the last part well either, it's hard to explain without a specific example from your own life 😀 Sorry for the long post I hope at least 1 word you found helpful 😋
@@SonGokuBg22 Like I said at the beginning my goal is pretty much for it to just be an outlet, if in the future I find something to be consistent in on my channel I guess there wouldn’t be a problem to make money of it but my morals will always be my priority and I won’t sell my soul for cash and content I don’t believe in! I like that you‘re direct, honest and sarcastic. I think those are good qualities to have and I try to be more honest myself because it is very important to me. The self-doubt issue is that I doubt myself in EVERYTHING, so I kinda have to do things even if I doubt my abilities and even if I have been proven many times before that I am, indeed, good enough. My brain doesn’t get it. I am a perfectionist in that way cause I always feel like I have to prove myself and be the best and if I‘m not then it doesn’t even matter if I‘m close… I guess I rarely think about the good choices I made though and there are enough decisions I got right, so that is a very nice thing to think about right now, thank you! In general I appreciate your comment a lot and I love long comments and people sharing their thoughts and advice with me!
@@HonestlyHolistic So why you are stressing that you don't post frequently? You seem to already have a plan for the channel. Right now what you are doing (in my eyes) is making a video of talking about what was on your mind recently, like a strong thought you have that doesn't go away. So obviously you won't have mind blowing thoughts every day and u know that, so don't stress about it
@@SonGokuBg22 yeah you‘re right about that! My head immediately is like oh but if you don’t post frequently then you can’t grow the channel blabla, but you’re right, that is not my goal so I don’t have to stress it :)
@@HonestlyHolistic Sorry,, yesterday I was tired and I could not express myself well, and also at the beginning I wasn't sure what you meant by "outlet". I have last few things to say, I am just trying to help you. I remembered 1 example of trusting your own self. I forgot my password, the only thing I knew is that it's digits only and it could have up to 50 digits. It wasn't my usual password (reason doesn't matter) and it was impossible to reset the password, and also I didn't write down the password. So I started to panic. But then I was like WAIT, if I didn't write it down it means that my old me decided that my future me can figure out the password. So with a few trials and errors I figured out the password successfully. I know this is a bit weird and different example, but the point is that your old You is not dumb :) There are specific topics you can talk about like ADHD and drawing. As far as I understand you are diagnosed with ADHD and study drawing? Making the channel about specific topic (I imagine, I am no one, just yapping) is much easier to grow community. If I am trying to get better at drawing that means that I am interested in drawing and, of course I will watch youtubers that talk about drawing frequently. But if you have 200 subs aka you are no one and talk about random thoughts, why would I care? I can watch Pokemain instead. Hope you understood what I mean. Personally I like your current videos more than what I am suggesting, but that is because I like to see people's thoughts, especially people our age. But I am a bad "test subject" because I had different life than normal people so I am a bit weird. There are 2 successful channels that I know that very much fit what you are trying to do imo. This is the first one www.youtube.com/@ruriohama/videos The second one I can't fuking find :( I will send if I find it :)
So what is this big project?
I have a few things to say, some things may seem offtopic but just take what you want from this.
About your channel: It depends on what your goal is.
Is the goal money? Do you not want to work a normal job and prefer to be "influencer"? If that is your goal you will need to be very persistent at least at the beginning AND do the things that attract viewers, I think you are clever enough to figure out what these things are.
Are you doing it just for "fun" or for making community or whatever you call it? If that is the case you just need to be yourself, and of course post often enough so the algorithm doesn't kill you. But being true to yourself is the most important. There is something I call "filtering out people" I am very honest/direct person also sarcastic and etc. Basically on the surface, if you don't get to know me I am unlikable.
