Man the this is the realest video I’ve ever seen. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost quit. 10 years later I now have 3.8 million subs. I still get discouraged at times because it’s very difficult and not rewarding at times. With all that said, I will never quit and thank you for all the value I get here on your channel. ✌️
@@truphotos8476 Right now I'm trying to post every Mon and Thurs. I've been doing it for 2 months currently I have 42 subs. If you subcribe that will be one more. My first channle fell through with only 6 vids then we couldn't sighn back In to it.

THANK YOU for this video. We have been doing this for 18 months and just started to feel so down about our slow growth. We got into the trap of seeing other creators in a similar niche grow SO quickly and just beating ourselves up for being not good enough, not likeable enough, not young enough, not beautiful enough, not talented enough... whatever negative thing we could think of! Today, I really felt like we are just wasting our time. But I've watched this and it genuinely has made me feel so much better about everything. Growth is still growth. We will get there, and we will damn well have fun while we work at it!
“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” - Dale Carnegie Don't give up! You are much stronger than you think! ❤️
Im happy to see creators improve sooooo hard...when I see them have like 100 subs and get like to 12k to 50k subs in like a week Im happy for them but at the same time I pity myself....they just grow so fast and its like a slap in the face...."youre not good" "the algorithm hates you" "your content just sucks man"....sometimes I even get negative thoughts uploading any contents to my channel having the mindset that its useless..."no ones gonna watch it anyways"....sometimes I even delete my videos because I get embarassed but Im not that person now...........thank you for the video!! this channel is always an inspiration......theres still hope if they can do it you can do it too...
This video is criminally underrated! I feel like every single person, no matter where they are on their RUclips journey, should watch this video!! Thank you Rob for opening up and sharing not only your knowledge but the struggles you faced. :)
I have absolutely thought about quitting RUclips SO many times. I can only hear from my audience "You deserve more subs!" and not getting them, or hearing RUclips advice channels go "Just make better content! JUST BE BETTER!" It's disheartening and exhausting, but I've continued to push and learn and grow, and just yesterday I had me best day for views EVER :D
Thank you for your encouragement! I have had my channel since 2014 but was not sure what to do. It has now been about 18 months since I started applying myself and am closing in on my first 1000 subs - (641). The interesting thing is that I have over 10,000 watch time hours. WTF? Yes, I get discouraged sometimes, but when I look back, I see growth and have had a few spikes. I just keep holding on, posting and waiting for the algorithm to create momentum. I have learned so much on the journey and can see why some people quit early on. There is a huge learning curve, learning audio and video simultaneously is a big task, but so worth it! If I take away anything from my experience so far, it's how much I have learned and how much my work has grown. At this point quitting is NOT an option. Thank you for your wonderful videos! You have given me and so many other new creators encouragement to continue and reminding us that RUclips is a marathon and not a race. Blessings to you and thank you again!! 💖✨
Thanks Rob for this, on my channel I do look at 'the competition' and do the naughty thing and compare my views to similar videos on those channels. Also I have watched my views drop down at certian months and get really scared that my channel is going to die. This is video was a booster to keep going! Many thanks again!
My mind is blown because... last night was my first time in 9 months (since I started RUclips) when I started questioning my journey. Then I see and watch this video when I woke up this morning. Like a lot of others out there, I put a lot of hard work, hours and pride into my content and that sometimes results with exhaustion. Mentally and physically. I think that is what’s happening. It’s sometimes difficult to balance out life with something you’re so passionate and invested in. The message you just delivered was a needed reminder that taking mental breaks is completely ok. Thank you.
I've been there so many time over the past year. I just say one more then one more until it passes. Trust your people will find you. That's what I keep saying.
I have no intention of quitting any time soon - I'm in this for the next several years (or more). But even with that in mind, I'm still inspired by this video. Thank you VidIQ! :)
Damn inspiring, i always look for motivation and feel disheartened that people do it within a year somehow and im nowhere near whilst approaching a year!
I got inspired by their video showing the analytics videos. my channel is only around 600 but when I see the returning views around 350-400 a day and new view at around 250 a day and he says that means you beat the algorythm makes me feel inspired, id love to see them cover my analytics as my purple bar has been higher for months

@@WessexBladesHandMadeKnives hi there! Thanks for your quick reply 🥰 Currently I’m using Adobe Premier Rush to edit my videos. One problem I found after implementing B Rolls into my videos is that I don’t have enough B Rolls to last the whole video. Most of my videos are between 4-5 minutes
This was Beautiful !!! This Showed Your Inspiration And Passion For What You Do. I Mean You Hit All Of Us In A Far More Personal Level Than I Ever Saw Anyone Do It 😁👌👍.
Rob.. the best thing about you is not the way you give youtube tips and tricks. Although you give that better than a lot of creators but you seem to genuinely help people with different perspectives you share. Thanks for that always.
I needed this! Thank you! Been at this since May 2021 so when I hear success stories of people making it after a decade it helps me to put things in perspective because I’m comparing my journey to people who’ve gone viral as opposed to realizing that this a is a long haul thing! Cheers
This 3 year old video just popped up on my feed. It`s just what I needed right now. I love doing what I do, but it`s got it`s ups and downs. Cheers Rob.
Wow! I really needed this!! (The timing is incredible). Thank you so much for sharing your story! I’ve been on RUclips for two years now, and it is incredibly hard. I have a very small fan base right now, that we crafters all share. It is hard not to look at the other successful ones and think what I can do to get where they are. You are amazing (12 years is incredible!!) and I’m very thankful for you!
I almost gave up on RUclips last summer (in 2020), BUT then I got motivated again and now, I just posted two music pieces and gained over 23 subs, and I am very thankful for that!
Indeed impacting so many lives in a positive way is very heartwarming, When you have that feeling sink in it's phenomenal, Saying that the life as a creator is not easy, some people still think it is just presenting random info out of internet while it is much more than that, you have to sometimes work so hard that it starts impacting family life as well, but I totally love being a creator, no doubt about that... 🙂
I have no reason to quit, I've just started my RUclips journey. I'm sure that the flow will change directions from time to time and I'll follow it to where I'm meant to be. Thanks to your channel, I've been able to improve my own channel very quickly. Faster than if I did this on my own. I appreciate the effort you all put into it and thank you for all your hard work!
@@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478 Oh that's for sure. I've adopted that frame of mind very quickly, that it's a marathon. It's gonna take time and effort to grow while also learning to move with the flow and don't get stuck in one frame of reference.
Thanks for that - I never felt like quitting because I really enjoy making the videos, but taking a break every now and then is good advice, when you return, RUclips will still be there and so will our channel
this is the summarised of my journey, excellent dear ...RUclips has taught me how to trust myself find that confidence . my loyal every supporting audience has made me realised I know how to teach and talk. the platform that has changed not only my life but its and It will keep changing many people's life . thank you for this wonderful video
I love my youtube. It's just like you said, It's given me a voice, and that in it's self is a great reward. I'm 60 and remember a time when the all of us lived without any reach unless you spent thousands. I pinch myself when someone comments or likes or subscribes to my channel. Thanks for all you do, I always watch and enjoy the info and help.........
It took me 2yrs to reach 20k, i never gave up! To all my fellow small youtubers - As long as you are passionate about youtube and grind, you will blow up some day!
RUclips is sooo hard as a new creator! It’s definitely easy to get down on yourself and want to give up. There’s just so much to learn. This video came up next on my feed at the perfect time!Please send some positive energy my way!!!
I will never quite... I just took a mental break but am back. Guess what happened in the 1 month I didn't post? I got 10+ new subs from 1 video that's going viral. That only happened in the last 5 days. What a reward🎉
I definitely needed this. I was on the verge of quitting RUclips due to the past toxicity that I've dealt with and feeling like my content didn't matter anymore. Thank you.
You are always so helpful Mr. Rob. Been watching your videos before I even started my own. I also did a lot of mistakes in my first attempt. But with your help, I am confident that I am in the right track on this one. Thank you so much.
It took me a year to get my first 1,000 views. I've gained another 15,000 views in the last six months. I thought I was growing too slowly, but it seems that all of the successful RUclipsrs started out slowly until something just suddenly clicked. I wasn't planning on quitting, but now more than ever, I plan to push ahead. It's very inspiring to learn that the big RUclipsrs were once small too, but they succeeded. The old saying, "quitters never win and winners never quit," seems to hold true. Thanks for this great inspirational video!
There have been so many times where I thought RUclips wasn't for me...but I kept coming back! Finally gaining traction now, and I'm so happy I never quit. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon! Thanks Rob!
After months , years of procrastinating, I finally uploaded my first 2 videos ever! I’m soo happy to be almost to 50 subscribers ... thank you for the video , lots of great information as always and motivation as well . I appreciate you 💪🏻💪🏻
RUclips has been so good for my mental health this winter. It's been great to have videos to plan for and to think about. This sounds cheesy af, but it's sort of given me my future back
I'm just seeing this. This video was perfect for me Rob. I said that because I have thought about it because I'm getting subscribers that fast but then again my subs count has went up since I've started putting consistent content out 4 months ago. I feel like the subscribers count is going slow & will take forever and the watch hours will come quicker which is even a bigger task (4K watch hours) I wish you had to get 1 or the other to get monetized tbh. I will not quit but sometimes I do look at other channels and say how they get their numbers so easy in a hour. I know because I'm not known, I'm new to YT, & gotta make content that people wanna watch
With things opening back up, all the quarantine creators (like me) have a hard decision to make... If you don't think you will have the time anymore, you do. You can do this. Keep Going.
This is a very helpful video. The part about communicating what you're most passionate about and attracting people who share that passion resonated the most with me.
Hi Rob, it is good to have this kind of critical reflection sometimes. I have been only three months on this journey and during this short period of times, I feel that I am doing something good for others. I started with the idea of sharing some knowledge with others, and honestly it feels great. I don't know if it will work for me as a way to generate some incomes, but what I know is that I am enjoying it. Thank you for sharing and producing your videos.
Thank you for this. Life can suck sometimes and hearing this really helped clean up the spill over from my lack of motivation to do youtube. Gotta keep pushing!
Was at this mindset for a couple of month this year, but thanks Rob this helped. Except numbers and everything else, youtube is a place to share your story with the world in many creative ways as teaching, how to, making music, playing a specific game etc. Its about connecting yourself with other peoples who might find themself on your content. To me thats the beautiful of this platform. If youre deticated to your passion it will resonate with your audience too 🙂
Thank you for this one. Just six months in and already feeling unsuccessful at this endeavor. I appreciate the perspective that this is a long journey and we're improving with ever video. I won't be quitting today, thank you!
My idols on RUclips are Viva la Dirt League. They got their first 100,000 subscribers after 8 years ... Damn it 8 years, it's incredible how much time and effort was spent, but now they have millions of subscribers, so I will not stop. My channel was created in 2012, but due to life's problems (there was no high-speed Internet ... yes, Russia is a country of madness and horror), videos began to download only in 2020 ... I was only a viewer for 8 years. Now, after a little over six months, 845 subscribers, but this is just the beginning ...
Thx for sharing your story! Been making 60 videos for the last 2 months and can’t even notice a single thing. Hardly coming over 20 views. But my believe is strong! Hope you all will have the persistence to stay focused!
8 Years and I barely went up to 200 subs then started going down. One day I looked in the mirror and told myself to take my videos and channel more serious and BAM within a month I was up 120 subs. Now I'm sitting at 892 and growing everyday!
Coming up to nearly a year on RUclips! It is hard in the early stages learning about RUclips and mastering your craft. Had several times when I wanted to quit but thanks to creators like you who helps to motivate us on this journey.
This is just what i wanted, I wanted to quit today, LITERALLY TODAY, I just came to say goodbye to my channel when i got this notification, THANK YOU VIDIQ
Hi, I have been on YT since 2012 and had a full time outside job simultaneously. It took me years to become monetized and a month ago I was demonitized due to not enough watch hours. I don't post as often as i used to but that was definitely shocking to deal with. I recently found your channel so I am hoping to get back on the horse! Thanks for sharing you have great content.
A lot of truth there. I been making treasure hunting videos for about a year now and the treasure hunting community has been stating to respond. Every time I put out a video I get a subscriber or two and that's good with me. I love it to much to even think about giving up 👍🤠👍
Happy to watch this video. The same is happening to me. Sometimes I feel discouraged since every now and then, I try my best to keep my videos safe and bum a copyright claim for one second of a logo popping up. Or maybe a video about a cheat code for your streaming service is considered against community guidelines! Still here I am after 9 years and 25K subscribers!
The best way to be a better RUclipsr is to not compare yourself to others but instead compare yourself to who you were yesterday. Everyone grows at different rates and and it's important to find motivation based on your personal progress. Look back at what you achieved and let that push you to be better in the future! 💪🏻
Thanks for this I really needed to hear this. I fell into a pitfall of chasing Subs Views and $$$. I lost what made some of my stuff special in the early days and my viewers lately have been letting me know how I positively impacted them and lost sight of this and discovered this is what is so important. I was seeing everyone around me grow so fast in a fraction of the time and I was failing and thought of quitting but decided to hit the brakes and re-evaluate the content instead of being comfortable doing same old generic stuff and not trying to change things or experiment out of my zone. I used to hyper refresh my studio app, constantly checking analytics instead of looking at new ideas, what can I do that's different, exciting and engaging. I've been doing this since September 2022 and I have 702 Subs and hope I don't stop anytime soon. This was very needed and I appreciate it.
It took me 8 years to get to 30k subs. Then just 6 months to get to 1 million. Stay dedicated!!!!!!!
Wow am on the verge of quitting my gaming channel. It’s almost at 5k subs but views are low 🥲
Wow that is actually so inspiring
@@DailyOrah honestly your lucky to have 5k
You only make shots??
Most likely because you found something that would work due to many years of testing. Nice work!
Man the this is the realest video I’ve ever seen.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost quit. 10 years later I now have 3.8 million subs.
I still get discouraged at times because it’s very difficult and not rewarding at times. With all that said, I will never quit and thank you for all the value I get here on your channel. ✌️
Woooooooooooow!
I will be happy to have 100k 😊👍
Awwww Omar, thank you bro, i have been watching your videos always , thanks for the Morale.....❤❤❤❤
I'm so surprised (and utterly humbled) at so many big channels adding their own comments to this video. Thanks :)
Waooooo Waooooo!
The first 2 years I uploaded every single day and had less than 100 subscribers. It is crazy how much time it takes but the journey is worth it.
Wow. Inspirational. That’s a lot of uploads!
It's nice hearing. astory like that. It seems like such a worthless pursuit when nobody watches

A lot of emotions. Thank you. This is the reason why I'm still with RUclips fr 2yrs now
Yeah, RUclips can be pretty tough at times. I just passed 12,000 views recently; milestones like that are really motivating.

Thanks for that - I never felt like quitting because I really enjoy making the videos, but taking a break every now and then is good advice, when you return, RUclips will still be there and so will our channel
this is the summarised of my journey, excellent dear ...RUclips has taught me how to trust myself find that confidence . my loyal every supporting audience has made me realised I know how to teach and talk. the platform that has changed not only my life but its and It will keep changing many people's life . thank you for this wonderful video
thank you for your support😊👍
I needed this! Every time I feel like I get ahead I take 5 steps backward. I am going to keep going though because I love it.
Been doing RUclips for 2 years, last 2 months my channel blew up after thousands of hours of making content just for fun.
Don't give up ;)
ofc i will give up check my name lol
I love my youtube. It's just like you said, It's given me a voice, and that in it's self is a great reward. I'm 60 and remember a time when the all of us lived without any reach unless you spent thousands. I pinch myself when someone comments or likes or subscribes to my channel. Thanks for all you do, I always watch and enjoy the info and help.........
I am so depressed since last month, but after watching this I m going to restart.
Very Positive Video thank you so much, Rob
I love you dude❤️❤️❤️
It took me 2yrs to reach 20k, i never gave up!
To all my fellow small youtubers - As long as you are passionate about youtube and grind, you will blow up some day!
I love how I can hear the passion for us in your voice. Keep creating, Rob! 👍
I subbed u cuz I like roblox
@@craigier7616 :)
Wow. Thank you for this! It’s easy to beat yourself up if you aren’t growing. Thanks for reminding us success could be right around the corner.
Thank you for the motivation it's not only about youtube success but also a message of life success keep it up 😉
RUclips is sooo hard as a new creator! It’s definitely easy to get down on yourself and want to give up. There’s just so much to learn. This video came up next on my feed at the perfect time!Please send some positive energy my way!!!
I will never quite... I just took a mental break but am back. Guess what happened in the 1 month I didn't post? I got 10+ new subs from 1 video that's going viral. That only happened in the last 5 days. What a reward🎉
Nice! Good for you! Now go smash it.
Which one is going viral?
@@BrainFreezeMC how to sell ebooks on Instagram
@@JoesPhenomenal thanks you♥️
@@Mwakatheewifeprenuer ok I will check it out
I definitely needed this. I was on the verge of quitting RUclips due to the past toxicity that I've dealt with and feeling like my content didn't matter anymore. Thank you.
Thank you for covering this very important topic!! ❤️
You are always so helpful Mr. Rob. Been watching your videos before I even started my own. I also did a lot of mistakes in my first attempt. But with your help, I am confident that I am in the right track on this one. Thank you so much.
Super inspired by this! Facts and great perspectives! Blessing to everyone on their RUclips journeys! Move forward! 💯✔️🔥
It took me a year to get my first 1,000 views. I've gained another 15,000 views in the last six months. I thought I was growing too slowly, but it seems that all of the successful RUclipsrs started out slowly until something just suddenly clicked. I wasn't planning on quitting, but now more than ever, I plan to push ahead. It's very inspiring to learn that the big RUclipsrs were once small too, but they succeeded. The old saying, "quitters never win and winners never quit," seems to hold true. Thanks for this great inspirational video!
I’ve been loosing a lot of subscribers lately and feeling depressed but you inspired me❤️✌🏼
You've got this. Don't sweat the short term stuff. Focus on the long game which has brought you nearly 2k subscribers.
@@vidIQ ok! Thanks so much VidIQ I really appreciate you replying!! I’ll keep doing my best and keep pursuing. 🙂
There have been so many times where I thought RUclips wasn't for me...but I kept coming back! Finally gaining traction now, and I'm so happy I never quit. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon! Thanks Rob!
this channel really deserves 1M asap
for real🙌
Could the people here help me hit 400 I'm 8 away
After months , years of procrastinating, I finally uploaded my first 2 videos ever! I’m soo happy to be almost to 50 subscribers ... thank you for the video , lots of great information as always and motivation as well . I appreciate you 💪🏻💪🏻
RUclips has been so good for my mental health this winter. It's been great to have videos to plan for and to think about. This sounds cheesy af, but it's sort of given me my future back
I'm just seeing this. This video was perfect for me Rob. I said that because I have thought about it because I'm getting subscribers that fast but then again my subs count has went up since I've started putting consistent content out 4 months ago. I feel like the subscribers count is going slow & will take forever and the watch hours will come quicker which is even a bigger task (4K watch hours) I wish you had to get 1 or the other to get monetized tbh. I will not quit but sometimes I do look at other channels and say how they get their numbers so easy in a hour. I know because I'm not known, I'm new to YT, & gotta make content that people wanna watch
I think this is something I needed because I considered quitting a few days ago now getting much views but then i decided that I'll keep going 🌠
Hey just keep going my friend
@@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478 Thanks I definitely will
We can do this
With things opening back up, all the quarantine creators (like me) have a hard decision to make... If you don't think you will have the time anymore, you do. You can do this. Keep Going.
This means so much! I love this so much ❤
This is a very helpful video. The part about communicating what you're most passionate about and attracting people who share that passion resonated the most with me.
Much needed words! Makes this youtube thing a lot less lonely having people like you Rob thank you!
indeed
Great video Rob! i am only 5 months into my RUclips journey and still loving the process, very important to remember when to take a break tho!
Hi Rob, it is good to have this kind of critical reflection sometimes. I have been only three months on this journey and during this short period of times, I feel that I am doing something good for others. I started with the idea of sharing some knowledge with others, and honestly it feels great. I don't know if it will work for me as a way to generate some incomes, but what I know is that I am enjoying it. Thank you for sharing and producing your videos.
Same here, I just enjoy sharing and making videos that benefit others 🤗 , more than getting monetized
This is great encouragement for creators. Thank you🙂
Thank you for this. Life can suck sometimes and hearing this really helped clean up the spill over from my lack of motivation to do youtube. Gotta keep pushing!
Was at this mindset for a couple of month this year, but thanks Rob this helped. Except numbers and everything else, youtube is a place to share your story with the world in many creative ways as teaching, how to, making music, playing a specific game etc. Its about connecting yourself with other peoples who might find themself on your content. To me thats the beautiful of this platform. If youre deticated to your passion it will resonate with your audience too 🙂
When you start looking at numbers the fun will disappear. Just have fun making videos.
Thank you for this one. Just six months in and already feeling unsuccessful at this endeavor. I appreciate the perspective that this is a long journey and we're improving with ever video. I won't be quitting today, thank you!
My idols on RUclips are Viva la Dirt League. They got their first 100,000 subscribers after 8 years ... Damn it 8 years, it's incredible how much time and effort was spent, but now they have millions of subscribers, so I will not stop.
My channel was created in 2012, but due to life's problems (there was no high-speed Internet ... yes, Russia is a country of madness and horror), videos began to download only in 2020 ... I was only a viewer for 8 years.
Now, after a little over six months, 845 subscribers, but this is just the beginning ...
Thx for sharing your story! Been making 60 videos for the last 2 months and can’t even notice a single thing. Hardly coming over 20 views. But my believe is strong! Hope you all will have the persistence to stay focused!
It is really hard... I also started to feel a little bit like quitting but I really like editing videos, even though I still got A LOT to learn.
But you get a little better at it each time. Right? That's all good stuff.
@@JoesPhenomenal Yeah, that's absolutely true!
Thanks for the vid. It’s definitely crossed my mind during this journey. I watched til the end and enjoyed it.
You looks sentimental in this video,
I'm a fairly new RUclipsr, and I was really considering quitting until I watched this video. Thanks for this.
8 Years and I barely went up to 200 subs then started going down. One day I looked in the mirror and told myself to take my videos and channel more serious and BAM within a month I was up 120 subs. Now I'm sitting at 892 and growing everyday!
1k subs here we come!
Thank you so much. As a teacher myself, this is REALY very inspiring and you have motivated me a lot with this video. Thank you!
This was great to hear. Thank you!
A much needed video for me. Not that I was thinking of quitting but it's a good thought for food and reassuring. Thanks mate!! Stay safe.
Thanks for motivating me, Rob❤️
Coming up to nearly a year on RUclips! It is hard in the early stages learning about RUclips and mastering your craft. Had several times when I wanted to quit but thanks to creators like you who helps to motivate us on this journey.
This is just what i wanted, I wanted to quit today, LITERALLY TODAY, I just came to say goodbye to my channel when i got this notification, THANK YOU VIDIQ
Hi, I have been on YT since 2012 and had a full time outside job simultaneously. It took me years to become monetized and a month ago I was demonitized due to not enough watch hours. I don't post as often as i used to but that was definitely shocking to deal with. I recently found your channel so I am hoping to get back on the horse! Thanks for sharing you have great content.
I love being a youtuber I would never quit.Have a good day people and you should never quit anything that you look.
Tbh some of their RUclips channels are just not entertaining either because of lazy editing or because they always only show one thing.
There's no destination, it is always the journey that matters. Thank you for this and I support all youtubers in this community.
A lot of truth there.
I been making treasure hunting videos for about a year now and the treasure hunting community has been stating to respond.
Every time I put out a video I get a subscriber or two and that's good with me. I love it to much to even think about giving up 👍🤠👍
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this great video. It was very encouraging,... I'm Glad I found this channel. It was most upbuilding and motivating
Im not even considering ever quitting RUclips, i just wanna hear so many reasons why one needs to show patience :)
Great video. Appreciate the genuine openness. This is the kind of video that makes RUclips a unique platform. Mahalo.
My anxiety rises everytime you say "quit RUclips" and that is because I could not even imagine doing such a thing.
Happy to watch this video. The same is happening to me. Sometimes I feel discouraged since every now and then, I try my best to keep my videos safe and bum a copyright claim for one second of a logo popping up. Or maybe a video about a cheat code for your streaming service is considered against community guidelines! Still here I am after 9 years and 25K subscribers!
Can I be like anyone with even 50 subs?
The best way to be a better RUclipsr is to not compare yourself to others but instead compare yourself to who you were yesterday. Everyone grows at different rates and and it's important to find motivation based on your personal progress. Look back at what you achieved and let that push you to be better in the future! 💪🏻
Thanks for this I really needed to hear this. I fell into a pitfall of chasing Subs Views and $$$. I lost what made some of my stuff special in the early days and my viewers lately have been letting me know how I positively impacted them and lost sight of this and discovered this is what is so important. I was seeing everyone around me grow so fast in a fraction of the time and I was failing and thought of quitting but decided to hit the brakes and re-evaluate the content instead of being comfortable doing same old generic stuff and not trying to change things or experiment out of my zone. I used to hyper refresh my studio app, constantly checking analytics instead of looking at new ideas, what can I do that's different, exciting and engaging. I've been doing this since September 2022 and I have 702 Subs and hope I don't stop anytime soon. This was very needed and I appreciate it.
I will never quit. Many people in the graveyard took their dreams with them.
Thank you for this video. Been trying to make videos for almost three years and yet to see any success 😁. Will keep working on it ☺
