You're basically tricked into feeding the internet behemoths for free or for small change money while they do the real profits by economy of scale. They also gather your information to build their own data bank to be used in ways you can't imagine.
History repeats itself, I believe we’re shifting into a modern day renaissance period. Become literate, competent, spiritual, physically fit. Become the best version of yourself by inspiring others with your art, work, interests.
I wish that was true but we know from history that we are no where close to a big shift. It has to get really bad before people find what ever it is they’re looking for , I don’t think we are even half way. If took the Black death that could of wiped us out to have a renaissance
@@willnadamusic it doesn’t have to be everyone. Why would you want it to be. You can experience a different reality within your own realm of being. Become the change you seek in the world.
@@MarkedxChrist why would I want it to be? Live my own reality? I don’t want it to be and I have no choice but to live my own reality? You can think things to be different and ignore reality which is what you’re proposing or you can be aware of all and not only focus on either one side or the other. Because seeing a reality that u create does not fix things that need fixing, it sounds great though but while you’re thinking up a reality many people are actually doing something about it. Your comment is the most ridiculous I’ve heard in a long time, While everything is going on today with everything from wars and famine, you’re talking to me about creating a reality in my head that will feed the starving children tonight ? or bring the ones that died today from the war back to life. Will that work? I don’t I usually attack people for writing stupid ass comments, but….
"They don't have ideas worth copying, they do the copying" This line hit hard. When becoming a content creator is just a means to an end and not a way of creating a new reality, you are back on the survival hamster wheel. Becoming a creator is a lifestyle, a philosophy, a way of being. Thanks Dan
My main value I get from Dan is motivation, but if you break down where his money comes from, it almost becomes like a pyramid scheme. He is making money from teaching others how to make money online, via selling courses. So, if everybody really followed his actions, they would also make money by teaching others how to make money online. I respect his recent business endeavor, Kortex, which is an actual product.
@@mainmain5303 You're spot on! I went back to some old videos of PC hardware reviewers and you won't believe how much we've changed as an audience. I don't think we as viewers have patience or the ability to listen.
"An artist is paid for their vision, not for their labour." I honestly feel like people tried to make something authentic and then the market took over and made content about brand deals and advertisements. Definately agree with create the content you want to see in the world, definately my personal goal.
In my freshman year of college, I built a RUclips channel that reached 20,000 subscribers, primarily through reaction videos. After working in sales for over two years, my perspective on life has shifted. As I observe the growing trend of provocative content, negativity, and drama taking over the internet, I decided to take a different path. I've started a new channel, not just to document my personal journey, but to inspire the upcoming generation in a positive way. Although I'm currently at 10 subscribers, I feel more authentic with this fresh direction, and I’m committed to creating content that truly matters. Honestly its hard changing but hard things do pay off eventually!
Hi Dan, you are absolutely right ! I am 53 y/o, no debts except for my mortgage. I started focusing on my finances when I was 50. I do have a lot to share based on my life experience and money management skills I have learned throughout this journey. I love your content and I am learning a lot. Soon I will launch my own RUclips channel teaching my community about money management, investing and health for a long happy life. Thank you! By the way my channel will be in Spanish for my Spanish speaking community with subtitles in English.
We share this philosophy exactly. I'm in the process of building a brand that encourages people to put down their phones and read, write, or create art. Thanks for the video.
I don’t know how you did it, man, but this morning started with the words I’ve been searching for-not just for the past few months, but maybe my entire life (I’m 30 and just started the YT channel). Starting anything is always hard, but having a clear WHY makes all the difference. It’s like growing a tree: its roots must first reach down to hell before it can grow to the heavens. Hearing that the first attempt at anything will suck was a revelation. Social media and real life often hide the messy beginnings; we don’t see the struggles behind success. For a long time, I believed that achieving your dreams required a special gift. But there are no gifts-only hard work and a deep understanding of why you’re doing what you’re doing. So much wisdom. So much value. And of course, you are the King of capturing attention. Huge thanks to the RUclips algorithm for bringing me here, and thank you, Dan, for your incredible work. Hats off! 👏
Here from Mai Pham, this is so relatable when you were talking about looking through the most paying jobs on google, trying to be an anesthesiologist, then an engineer, I graduated as a web designer but now im an artist, literally what everyone was saying doesn’t pay much, I couldn’t not follow my heart and passion, all roads just led me back to art. And now I wanna create art and share that with the world through youtube. 🎉 this has been so inspiring and insightful for me. Thank you ❤
You hit the nail on the head in every single point here. As an artist, I have committed myself to my craft and the internet is what made that possible. It only makes sense that this is my purpose. I have been carving an unknown path for a couple of years now, but have realized that the more I stay true to myself, the better the outcome. We are not just creators, we are artists. And as artists, our mission is to make the world a better place. This was inspiring to listen to, because all of it is 100% truth. Thank you for bringing this to light.
Nice to see another artist here! Keep telling your story. I am an artist inspired by movement. I'm not certain that the animations that I am making can be products. It's easier for me to picture my dance and movement tools as products. I think I will have to create unrelated products to fund my animations.. I wish you the best with yours! 🌟 Paul
@@daviddarkstonedtv9775key word here is "fun". If you think it's fun, then find a way to package these things in a way for people to join along or be entertained. You can keep the same content format but change the topic. I would say leverage short form content for this. I can go longer about this but i hope this helps. Good luck!
This is such a real, deep and sober lesson. My "teamwork" (the business I build with others) constantly gets in the way of my "personal journey". That's just because working in a team is simply so much more pleasant, efficient and (humanly) fulfilling than working by oneself. We are "social beings" and it is funny how "social media" gives us the illusion of being "socially active", while many people actually try to make money without being real. There is still so much to unlearn from the "old world" before actually being able to be "real" on a public platform.
Projects turned into products. Always a nugget. I love you and your content so much! I share it with all my friends because it really helps me organize my thoughts for the method I’m building. When you said to focus on what we would want to see and build from there, that really resonated with me after watching this video. I tend to do that, but then I start wondering what others might want instead of simply sharing what has worked for me and attracting a like-minded audience.
This resonates so much with me and will be my driving force to pursue creating contents, as a hobby and not as a source of side income. I'll come back here in a year.
Its the first video i have watched from you. and i can say that i have never watched a video with such an amount of value. thank you for uploading this masterpiece.
I was just telling somebody today that i prefer to make content with deepth, educative, and a reflection of the good i would like to see in the world. Instead of copying others, but to create something more genuine and improve from there. They just laughed.. But your video is a sign i'm on the right path. "project turned into a product". Thank you!
the difference between someone who creates content by copying others vs someone who creates as in actually creating their own ideas and thoughts based if the vague idea of another. Very well said Dan thank you for the reminder. As someone who's getting into becoming a writer and creating youtube videos, it's an important skill to be able follow the idea of others, AND allow my uniqueness to shine by sharing my personal experience and unique point of view all while writing it in a way that allows others to understand it clearly
As someone that has been meaning to get out there and showcase my work and interests but always been discouraged by all the noise on these platforms, this video presents itself a perfect time to give me that final push I need to get out there and create authentic content. Thanks Dan!
I just want to say thank you, Dan. Everyone should be sharing online. Everyone has something to offer that will benefit the world. That's my personal belief.
@@vaidasviper There's something to learn from every single person... whether it's good or bad. It may be an example of how not to live, life choices to avoid. There's value in that.
@@anniestacie taking in consideration your answer, my guess is that you are very young (this is based on my life experience). Grown uo usually don't think that way. In about year span i interacted with few thousand people. Majority not older than early 30s. There was not much to learn from anyone. What i was doing back then and i was interested in, only handful of them had something, that could be a life lesson or so. And thank God those thousands didn't try to teach anyone anything. People want to think they have so much to offer to anyone, but most of them have nothing to offer. (as cynical as it sounds).
@@vaidasviper I appreciate you explaining your perspective and sharing your experience. While we may not necessarily agree, I learned from you. So thank you :)
@@vaidasviperdude I believe that's a YOU problem. You may not have had anything to learn from those people but they definitely COULD teach SOMEONE out there SOMETHING. What a depressing view of life you have. Hopefully you become less cynical cuz that mindset will definitely hold you back in life
This is one of the video that resonates (or “vibrates”) closest to me / my intentions, if not the most. It’s also the most genuine authentic videos I watched recently.
Not so long ago, having a job in a cubicle, like in the classic movie "Office space" was one of the facets of the prison of the system, that slowly we were waking up from. Now the prison has moved. It has a new name, new label. The system entered the internet, and it's various services. We need to have constant contact, with our authenticity, freedom, honesty, and something else I can't point out right now to not get caught back into this prison. Love yr video, good talk. Healthy talk. A breath of fresh air in this barbie world. thank you, mate.
This has been really helpful, I'm grateful for you making this video. I'm at a point in my life where the level of information I can share is something else. This week I created the skeleton of a training program that would be 6 months long, 1 on 1 with someone teaching how to be a plant medicine provider. I have so much to share and teach. I know I need to put it out there wayyyy more than I have so far. This is just the kind of things the world needs to know. Because ultimately it is a message of love, of unity, of how to be aligned with who we really are, and of how to heal from suffering. Thank you Dan, this video will be great at helping me organize how I want to share my ideas in a way that more people will get to receive them.
I’m tired of being sold to. I’m also tired of trying to sell. I just want to be epically lazy and do whatever I feel like doing that day without stress or worry about making other people happy
I feel you, 🎉 I was only able to accomplish this by doing handyman jobs mostly and working for a construction guy 7 to 14 days of the month. Some days I will get off and be at the lake by 2 or 3:00 with the rich folks. And some days we will finish up the project and I would go out of state for a week week and a half if I just decided. Just depend how I felt
Bruh. I was talking about this “authenticity” problem yesterday on the call live call with Dakota Robertson. Dang, you guys are really 2 dimensions ahead. We are blessed to be in this great age of sages.
This is a fantastic perspective and a large reason why I started my channel (I literally run a lemonade stand). I don’t even sell lemonade currently, I just make goofy videos and want to make people laugh and have fun with it.
This is so deep I highly resonate with this!!! I felt this daily as a creator but everywhere I see just made me depressed. Everything is so surface level.
Authentic and consistent while offering quality and a solid takeaway in every video is my goal. I do better on TikTok than RUclips right now, but as I shift into cars I think YT will pickup. Really liked the info here. Well done and thanks!
I'm in the process of opening a preschool in my home. I've been anti Ai but I just taught myself to prompt with Gemini and created the logo for my business. I absolutely love my logo, it has lit a fire underneath me and I already have clients lined up for next spring. Stop standing in your own path, adapt to use the tools around you to bring what you have to offer to the world.
@papertiger9845 im not sure, but i think you might be thinking of a trade mark. Im not sure if you can or cant trademark an AI produced asset but copywrite is usually given to creators without going anywhere, doing anything, or talking to anyone. Because they created it it is theirs. This wouldnt be thr case with AI products, id guess.
This is the best analysis/critique of social media I've seen. Raw intellectualism! Too many people want to make a living off youtube with nothing to say. They look for ways to capture followers with tricks, lies and pirated content from others. You are authentic and truthful to the core. Let's hope there are many others with your insight and beliefs.
The best way to do content creation is to put yourself in a position of power financially so that you enter and stay in the space without being desperate. While desperation can lead to massive action, for the most part, it is negative. It is a position you don't want to be in. I have done the same thing from the age of 32, hitting rock bottom, working on myself for 7-8 years, and then seeing unimaginable success. Now, I have found my purpose in content creation, but I can afford to invest a lot into it, both time and money, while not being desperate or being that starving artist.
So true. I am still on this desperation situation after having failed with a failed project which took all I had. Did you went back getting a job? Any advice you could share on how to take it easy while being in desperation?
@jeronimoduarte I still work, but in a very lucrative industry, that allows me to pursue my purpose. There are a couple of ways.# First is mindset, which is hard because we are all human. The grind and constant struggle will have you second guessing and feeling sorry for yourself. But anything is as good or as bad as you want it to be it's a mindset. Secondly , which I prefer and I'm a great advocate of is self investment, but we are not all blessed with the time, money, or knowledge. Example, I hit rock bottom and was stuck on minimum wage at the age of 32, I went back to college and got several qualifications to then climb to over six figures. Now I'm in a passion to do what I want when I want because I put myself in a position of power. Yes, I sacrificed sleep, comfort, going out, etc, but I now reap the rewards. So, know so much more is possible for you if you apply yourself, stick to something, and give it time. You got this
On the 12 minute mark and so far you have just been spewing out absolute gold. I am in process of building my own company right now, the one that shares my souls passion. I will have a great, proffesional webpage but I have been avoiding social media like the plague. My main problem is, that it is sooo much work! I already have my plate full with building up my company, and learning all the social media feels like trying to move the sun. I want to focus on my message and not learning how to do social media. It's a lot to learn and it's always changing.
I hit the like button when you said ”when you hear the words influencer, personal brand, creator, a part of you kind of dies”. 😂💯 never wanted to be any of those. We all started creating content to live outside of the box and then they put a box around that box. 😅
Brilliant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Subscribed!!! 🙏❤️ 22:20 How to set yourself apart? Brand is everything about your authenticity self. The unique gifts and abilities you offer nobody else does. 22:53 creativity is the constraints the limitations. It’s not the chaos. The 4 pillars of creative work are: Brand Content Product Promotion
I couldn’t agree more! So many people have tried to tell me that my long form content wouldn’t grow. I’m just over 500 followers right now. I want to educate my subscribers from my personal experience, my quirkiness, my down to earth, truthful and real perspective because I know it not only educates and HELPS others, through my own studies and personal experiences ! And it’s FUN! It’s amazing to just be you. ✨ This is exactly where we need to lead in the age of Aquarius
I believe most content creators actually started with ambition in mind with less discipline and consistency .The lasting creators are those who are obsessed with creating value ...The Real Creators .
Dan, what you said about “concept,” after problem, goal, example, benefit, and process, is “category” in my mind. It really looks like you’re describing category design, but using different words. Either way, I like where you’re going with this. Good stuff.
And....on the 16. minute mark I have to thank you, because the last few minutes were the best motivation and clarification I could get. I really needed that. Thank you.
This video is for me. I have been struggling to grow my channel, and this video brought some clarity as to why I find it so hard to create the type of content I have been creating. To me, content creation should be meaningful. It should be impactful on someone’s life. Having to chase views and making content around keywords that will get views is the reason I don’t post consistently and even have considered giving up on my dream of being a RUclipsr. This video made me realize being a RUclipsr isn’t the same as being an influencer. Thank you!
Wow! This speech blew my mind and completely changed my perspective on content creation. I've been a content creator for the last three years, and lately, I've been feeling stuck because it's getting harder and harder to grab attention.
I feel this so much. I started uploading videos to RUclips as my own memory archive… and always have enjoyed photography and videography and writing. My goal was never to become popular but it’s always frustrating to hear “you should do this and that” from people .. when I am just trying to travel the way that I love… not chase the things that may trend or be popular. I fear passions are dying because people care more about optics and being popular.
How to be oneself is surprisingly the most effective thing, yet one of the most challenging, since many of us have some imprinted belief that who we are just isn't enough. In media, advertising, even from our parents' lack of approval. Luckily there are ways out of that fear.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Ss a small creator, it can be tempting to do only trends that generally perform better. But I need to remember that I want to do something that is meaningful. Always.
Wow!!! Deep. I have indirectly come to a similar conclusion about what drives Contant creators. Struggled with my own path as a content creator because of the need for people to view. This is why I now have turned to stock photography and video so that I don’t have to rely on that stuff and now can create more meaningful Projects and films and not need to worry about the outcome of that to actually profit and pay back all the money I owe for the content creation equipment I paid for over the years.
Saludos desde Argentina, como decimos acá: "me volaste la cabeza". Gracias por llegar en el momento preciso. Mis 34 minutos mejor invertidos en RUclips desde que comenzó el año.
I am a slow learner. I do tours, and I am passionate about the history behind the places and monuments, that is what moves me. I have difficulty to understand the human mind, what they want. I want to try cortex notes system, perhaps they will help me. I use Obsidian for my content.Thanks for you video
The little breakdown on how to turn read ideas into original ideas was wonderfully thought out and executed, but also made me worry that kids don't learn these things at schools when they write essays...
We need more Anesthesiologist than content creators. Most content on the internet is of low value and garbage. An Anesthesiologist has a more impacting society and to humanity than all this consumerism and lazy behavior. It’s sad that society rewards monetarily the dumber side of society.
True. So, make some nonsense (or great) content that goes viral, monetize, make millions, take millions and set up as many scholarships and informational booths at schools and colleges with real industry experts because you can afford to. And have a glass of nice scotch on the way.
This video needs to be shown on the news on repeat, and in school. You are a real person and understand. Seriously beautiful video, very well spoken and spitting facts. Beautiful man.
I show the BTS of being a doctor and business owner. I really resonated with your message of having DEPTH. I think people are fatigued of seeing content that is superficial and unhelpful. Your video helped remind me to be HELPFUL and NOT just a personality. Thanks ❤
Thank you Dan. This video inspired me to record my own that I have been postponing for so long. I feel like I can offer much more than my current work. I don't know what it will be, but I am commited to find out. The right resource comes when we are ready for it. Thank you 🙏
Remember when social media was meant to compliment and support your life off the internet? Now people center and plan their lives on making content for social media.
I love this video. Thanks!! Only comment is around the critique on memes. Memes have a significant role to play; for me, they're a new form of art. They're crucial in navigating the complex issues we face online today. While there are plenty of low-quality memes out there, many are genuinely insightful and creative. They also serve as educational tools in various contexts. Many individuals earn a living through the honest craft of merging humor with commentary. Although AI has contributed significantly to content creation, I personally appreciate the comedic writers; they're also part of a creator renaissance.
Well said! I’m truly inspired and enjoy this video. I only started RUclips lately after pursued a pretty successful career in last 20 years up till today I had epiphany of changed my life path to pursue something meaningful for myself being a true me. I have started slowly to learn the technique behind. I am glad to start now as technology makes much easier to produce content. My point of view is how to drive the technique to deliver unique message to the world and I don’t care much about getting paid or not; being liked or disliked I think when I can remove the attachment to the outcomes I can be more free to do something to service others. Thanks.
I've been stressing so much about making my channel follow the templates of the likes of top RUclipsrs because I'm worried it won't take off, but it depressed me because it doesn't feel like "me". I don't feel motivated to make videos anymore. I needed this video. Thank you for putting posting this, it was so refreshing and made me also rethink the direction I'm taking in my hobby side of life, not just on RUclips. It's hard out there for artists, but I think I'll regret continuing this false facade instead of taking the risk and being true to myself. If it flops, at least I had fun. It's just getting past the social anxiety 😅
I need some clarification. In a video Dan created approximately one year ago titled "The Most Profitable Niche Is You (Create Your Niche Of One), he said, "Your brand is you." Now he's saying, "Personal brands are dead. Which one is it?
@@coszec I know things can change, but not branding - it does not change overnight. "Simple as that." It's obvious you know little to nothing about branding.
I read a book by author, Sharon Blackie, "Hagitude, Reimagining the Second Half of Life," I transformed the European depictions of archetypal elder women into music, costume and dance using a Roland Jupiter X synthesizer, which has all the classic 80s "Stranger Things" sounds. I even opened a recording studio with live event space to perform it and that was all the easy part. Now the hard part, finding my audience.
My God, a young person that really gets it, Today you gave me some Hope in future generations. I've been attempting to bring real Innovative Eco Based Solutions too many of people needs. I've invented or created a great many products and conceptual designs over the years, that many International Companies have taken and used. That said, the way I approach it, does not give me the ability to gain the need funds to live life. But it does touch peoples lives. Lately, I've attempted at creating further Canadian Multimedia Content that will hopefully inspire others to create their own works, but also possibly use these platforms to help others in seeing how to create the real future for all. Anyways, Thanks for what you do.
Thank you for this. I started you tube, and I don't want to be an influencer. I want to be a voice of reason,and hopefully spread some good energy in my corner of the internet. I am not on other social media platforms and I don't want to change my lifestyle just to get views.
I feel like, if it always was your “dream” or goal to start a youtube channel then go for it. I have been wanting to do it since 2009 and not starting must be the worst feeling ever! Seeing everyone else before you start a channel although you deeply wanted to do it but couldn’t because of economical reasons or time. For me it is more like a creative lesson. I get to use my skills I haven’t used in a long time , such as editing, creating digital art. I won’t sink into content creation, I’ll use this platform for my own joy and you should too!
Watched the whole video, and honestly, it felt like a lot of words to say something that could’ve been summed up in one sentence: 'Be authentic, use the internet to share your passions meaningfully, and create content and products that truly add value to your audience.' It feels more like an exercise in stretching the message than delivering something truly fresh or transformative. Less fluff and more straight-to-the-point would’ve made the content more impactful.
you are keeping get better every video! CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are really in tune with the unconscious mind of a great mass of people. GREAT VIDEO! LOVED IT!
I'm from India and involved in textile manufacturing. I have been trying to build a presence on LinkedIn for a long time, and to some extent, by following your advice, I have succeeded.
Im at 7 mins in the vid and here are my thoughts so far. There's a huge difference between creating content on the platform and just being a personality on the platform. Usually people will fall into one or both of those categories. There are also people who have different priorities when making content (example: some do it for profit, others do it for fun) I think recognizing where you fall on this spectrum and embracing it is the key to your personal success in life. It doesn't necessarily need to go deeper for some people, but I get that some will always struggle with it. Especially if you're on the platform to make it your career, versus just being a viewer or even hobbyist creator. Most people just don't decouple the word creator from influencer and probably think they're fundamentally the same when they're absolutely not. This is what I think the main issue with the platform is. Not necessarily whether or not a person is contributing to society at large. Do we really need more products like lunchly? No. I agree we don't. But just like products on the shelf in the grocery store, not everything we buy will be for our health. Some of our consumption of creative content on youtube follows the same formula. We like some things for the healthiness, others for the sugary goodness. Some people like to create whole grain organic videos, others like making candy bars and snack cakes, metaphorically speaking. That's just the human condition. The youtube grocery store has something for everyone, and in my opinion it absolutely should. Edit: incorrect timestamp
I just read Forbidden Laws of Wealth by Victor Hayes, and wow, this book is seriously underrated. The wealth-building methods are next level-more people need to know about it!

Definately agree with create the content you want to see in the world, definately my personal goal.
In my freshman year of college, I built a RUclips channel that reached 20,000 subscribers, primarily through reaction videos. After working in sales for over two years, my perspective on life has shifted. As I observe the growing trend of provocative content, negativity, and drama taking over the internet, I decided to take a different path.
I've started a new channel, not just to document my personal journey, but to inspire the upcoming generation in a positive way. Although I'm currently at 10 subscribers, I feel more authentic with this fresh direction, and I’m committed to creating content that truly matters. Honestly its hard changing but hard things do pay off eventually!
Hi what do you mean 20,000 subs from reaction videos? What's reaction videos and how do we do it? Thanks
Stay the course. I'm cheering for you
Sell your channel i pay you 5k doller
drama is a driver
Go for it! We need organic stuff now. 😀
Hi Dan, you are absolutely right ! I am 53 y/o, no debts except for my mortgage. I started focusing on my finances when I was 50. I do have a lot to share based on my life experience and money management skills I have learned throughout this journey. I love your content and I am learning a lot. Soon I will launch my own RUclips channel teaching my community about money management, investing and health for a long happy life. Thank you! By the way my channel will be in Spanish for my Spanish speaking community with subtitles in English.
I would like to know your experiences and wisdom you accumulate, I'm Peruvian, and I'm glad you have the desire to share your knowledge in Spanish.
As someone who is somewhat in this space, I will say you've nailed it! Perhaps we need a new category: Just Being Yourself
You could call it ….. koecreation 😏 lol
The problem with RUclipsrs is that they tell you a different story every week, so yes you can change things all the time and not achieve anything...
Bro I love this be yourself
Issue is, most people don't know themselves
Also, get a high resolution camera, high quality microphone, be consistent, be well self actualized, know how to sell, know how to story tell etc. 😏
“Creativity isn’t freedom and chaos, it’s the limitations that you impose to create that art.” 😯👏
"People don't follow information, they follow perspective " that's golden, sir.
This video is the validation I didn't know I needed to pursue my genuine curiosity with my RUclips channel.
My algorithm actually brought me here, with no regret !
Same😊
We share this philosophy exactly. I'm in the process of building a brand that encourages people to put down their phones and read, write, or create art. Thanks for the video.
I don’t know how you did it, man, but this morning started with the words I’ve been searching for-not just for the past few months, but maybe my entire life (I’m 30 and just started the YT channel). Starting anything is always hard, but having a clear WHY makes all the difference. It’s like growing a tree: its roots must first reach down to hell before it can grow to the heavens.
Hearing that the first attempt at anything will suck was a revelation. Social media and real life often hide the messy beginnings; we don’t see the struggles behind success. For a long time, I believed that achieving your dreams required a special gift. But there are no gifts-only hard work and a deep understanding of why you’re doing what you’re doing.
So much wisdom. So much value. And of course, you are the King of capturing attention. Huge thanks to the RUclips algorithm for bringing me here, and thank you, Dan, for your incredible work. Hats off! 👏
Here from Mai Pham, this is so relatable when you were talking about looking through the most paying jobs on google, trying to be an anesthesiologist, then an engineer, I graduated as a web designer but now im an artist, literally what everyone was saying doesn’t pay much, I couldn’t not follow my heart and passion, all roads just led me back to art. And now I wanna create art and share that with the world through youtube. 🎉 this has been so inspiring and insightful for me. Thank you ❤
You hit the nail on the head in every single point here. As an artist, I have committed myself to my craft and the internet is what made that possible. It only makes sense that this is my purpose. I have been carving an unknown path for a couple of years now, but have realized that the more I stay true to myself, the better the outcome. We are not just creators, we are artists. And as artists, our mission is to make the world a better place. This was inspiring to listen to, because all of it is 100% truth. Thank you for bringing this to light.
Nice to see another artist here! Keep telling your story. I am an artist inspired by movement. I'm not certain that the animations that I am making can be products. It's easier for me to picture my dance and movement tools as products. I think I will have to create unrelated products to fund my animations.. I wish you the best with yours! 🌟 Paul
You want to get paid to be yourself
Be yourself in a structured way that actually makes sense to people
What if you are just a random person with random interests no niche or specific focus, just random fun crazy things?
@@daviddarkstonedtv9775key word here is "fun". If you think it's fun, then find a way to package these things in a way for people to join along or be entertained. You can keep the same content format but change the topic. I would say leverage short form content for this. I can go longer about this but i hope this helps. Good luck!
This is such a real, deep and sober lesson. My "teamwork" (the business I build with others) constantly gets in the way of my "personal journey". That's just because working in a team is simply so much more pleasant, efficient and (humanly) fulfilling than working by oneself. We are "social beings" and it is funny how "social media" gives us the illusion of being "socially active", while many people actually try to make money without being real. There is still so much to unlearn from the "old world" before actually being able to be "real" on a public platform.
Projects turned into products. Always a nugget. I love you and your content so much! I share it with all my friends because it really helps me organize my thoughts for the method I’m building. When you said to focus on what we would want to see and build from there, that really resonated with me after watching this video. I tend to do that, but then I start wondering what others might want instead of simply sharing what has worked for me and attracting a like-minded audience.
Congratulations on your growth Angela 🙌
This resonates so much with me and will be my driving force to pursue creating contents, as a hobby and not as a source of side income. I'll come back here in a year.
Its the first video i have watched from you. and i can say that i have never watched a video with such an amount of value. thank you for uploading this masterpiece.
+++
meaningful + actual
I was just telling somebody today that i prefer to make content with deepth, educative, and a reflection of the good i would like to see in the world. Instead of copying others, but to create something more genuine and improve from there. They just laughed..
But your video is a sign i'm on the right path.
"project turned into a product".
Thank you!
the difference between someone who creates content by copying others vs someone who creates as in actually creating their own ideas and thoughts based if the vague idea of another. Very well said Dan thank you for the reminder. As someone who's getting into becoming a writer and creating youtube videos, it's an important skill to be able follow the idea of others, AND allow my uniqueness to shine by sharing my personal experience and unique point of view all while writing it in a way that allows others to understand it clearly
As someone that has been meaning to get out there and showcase my work and interests but always been discouraged by all the noise on these platforms, this video presents itself a perfect time to give me that final push I need to get out there and create authentic content. Thanks Dan!
its not what we do that changes the world, its who we become :)
Thanks for leading me to this video, this really changed my perspective ❤
alright!
I just want to say thank you, Dan. Everyone should be sharing online. Everyone has something to offer that will benefit the world. That's my personal belief.
Do you really think Eeeveryone has something to offer?...
@@vaidasviper There's something to learn from every single person... whether it's good or bad. It may be an example of how not to live, life choices to avoid. There's value in that.
@@anniestacie taking in consideration your answer, my guess is that you are very young (this is based on my life experience). Grown uo usually don't think that way. In about year span i interacted with few thousand people. Majority not older than early 30s. There was not much to learn from anyone. What i was doing back then and i was interested in, only handful of them had something, that could be a life lesson or so. And thank God those thousands didn't try to teach anyone anything.
People want to think they have so much to offer to anyone, but most of them have nothing to offer. (as cynical as it sounds).
@@vaidasviper I appreciate you explaining your perspective and sharing your experience. While we may not necessarily agree, I learned from you. So thank you :)
@@vaidasviperdude I believe that's a YOU problem. You may not have had anything to learn from those people but they definitely COULD teach SOMEONE out there SOMETHING. What a depressing view of life you have. Hopefully you become less cynical cuz that mindset will definitely hold you back in life
This is one of the video that resonates (or “vibrates”) closest to me / my intentions, if not the most. It’s also the most genuine authentic videos I watched recently.
Not so long ago, having a job in a cubicle, like in the classic movie "Office space" was one of the facets of the prison of the system, that slowly we were waking up from.
Now the prison has moved. It has a new name, new label. The system entered the internet, and it's various services. We need to have constant contact, with our authenticity, freedom, honesty, and something else I can't point out right now to not get caught back into this prison.
Love yr video, good talk. Healthy talk. A breath of fresh air in this barbie world. thank you, mate.
This has been really helpful, I'm grateful for you making this video. I'm at a point in my life where the level of information I can share is something else. This week I created the skeleton of a training program that would be 6 months long, 1 on 1 with someone teaching how to be a plant medicine provider. I have so much to share and teach. I know I need to put it out there wayyyy more than I have so far. This is just the kind of things the world needs to know. Because ultimately it is a message of love, of unity, of how to be aligned with who we really are, and of how to heal from suffering. Thank you Dan, this video will be great at helping me organize how I want to share my ideas in a way that more people will get to receive them.
I’m tired of being sold to. I’m also tired of trying to sell. I just want to be epically lazy and do whatever I feel like doing that day without stress or worry about making other people happy
Based take
Making people happy through your creation is more fulfilling than any other shallow take on it
I feel you, 🎉 I was only able to accomplish this by doing handyman jobs mostly and working for a construction guy 7 to 14 days of the month. Some days I will get off and be at the lake by 2 or 3:00 with the rich folks. And some days we will finish up the project and I would go out of state for a week week and a half if I just decided. Just depend how I felt
@@jeffhandy1102fishing in the middle of the week is so decadent😊
Welcome to poverty.
Bruh.
I was talking about this “authenticity” problem yesterday on the call live call with Dakota Robertson.
Dang, you guys are really 2 dimensions ahead.
We are blessed to be in this great age of sages.
This is a fantastic perspective and a large reason why I started my channel (I literally run a lemonade stand). I don’t even sell lemonade currently, I just make goofy videos and want to make people laugh and have fun with it.
This is so deep I highly resonate with this!!! I felt this daily as a creator but everywhere I see just made me depressed. Everything is so surface level.
Authentic and consistent while offering quality and a solid takeaway in every video is my goal. I do better on TikTok than RUclips right now, but as I shift into cars I think YT will pickup.
Really liked the info here. Well done and thanks!
I'm in the process of opening a preschool in my home. I've been anti Ai but I just taught myself to prompt with Gemini and created the logo for my business. I absolutely love my logo, it has lit a fire underneath me and I already have clients lined up for next spring. Stop standing in your own path, adapt to use the tools around you to bring what you have to offer to the world.
Any photos created with AI aren't covered under copyright laws just so you know.
interesting. The end of copyright and royalties?
s@@RaheemD
@@RaheemDstfu lmao if I go copyright it its copyrighted
@papertiger9845 im not sure, but i think you might be thinking of a trade mark. Im not sure if you can or cant trademark an AI produced asset but copywrite is usually given to creators without going anywhere, doing anything, or talking to anyone. Because they created it it is theirs. This wouldnt be thr case with AI products, id guess.
This is the best analysis/critique of social media I've seen. Raw intellectualism! Too many people want to make a living off youtube with nothing to say. They look for ways to capture followers with tricks, lies and pirated content from others. You are authentic and truthful to the core. Let's hope there are many others with your insight and beliefs.
The best way to do content creation is to put yourself in a position of power financially so that you enter and stay in the space without being desperate.
While desperation can lead to massive action, for the most part, it is negative. It is a position you don't want to be in.
I have done the same thing from the age of 32, hitting rock bottom, working on myself for 7-8 years, and then seeing unimaginable success. Now, I have found my purpose in content creation, but I can afford to invest a lot into it, both time and money, while not being desperate or being that starving artist.
So true. I am still on this desperation situation after having failed with a failed project which took all I had. Did you went back getting a job? Any advice you could share on how to take it easy while being in desperation?
@jeronimoduarte I still work, but in a very lucrative industry, that allows me to pursue my purpose.
There are a couple of ways.# First is mindset, which is hard because we are all human. The grind and constant struggle will have you second guessing and feeling sorry for yourself. But anything is as good or as bad as you want it to be it's a mindset.
Secondly , which I prefer and I'm a great advocate of is self investment, but we are not all blessed with the time, money, or knowledge. Example, I hit rock bottom and was stuck on minimum wage at the age of 32, I went back to college and got several qualifications to then climb to over six figures. Now I'm in a passion to do what I want when I want because I put myself in a position of power. Yes, I sacrificed sleep, comfort, going out, etc, but I now reap the rewards.
So, know so much more is possible for you if you apply yourself, stick to something, and give it time. You got this
I was awakened to reality at the beginning of this year and have been on a different path since then. Love hearing stories such as yours. Thanks.
@@Downtyme Same here, I love hearing stories from people around the world. Human beings never cease to amaze me. All the best!
@@Uncommony All the best to you as well.
On the 12 minute mark and so far you have just been spewing out absolute gold.
I am in process of building my own company right now, the one that shares my souls passion. I will have a great, proffesional webpage but I have been
avoiding social media like the plague. My main problem is, that it is sooo much work! I already have my plate full with building up my company, and learning all the social media feels like trying to move the sun. I want to focus on my message and not learning how to do social media. It's a lot to learn and it's always changing.
That’s my main goal is to learn the media, maybe someday we can work together on it all as colleagues
I hit the like button when you said ”when you hear the words influencer, personal brand, creator, a part of you kind of dies”. 😂💯 never wanted to be any of those.
We all started creating content to live outside of the box and then they put a box around that box. 😅
Brilliant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

22:20 How to set yourself apart?
Brand is everything about your authenticity self. The unique gifts and abilities you offer nobody else does.
22:53 creativity is the constraints the limitations. It’s not the chaos.
The 4 pillars of creative work are:
Brand
Content
Product
Promotion
I couldn’t agree more! So many people have tried to tell me that my long form content wouldn’t grow. I’m just over 500 followers right now. I want to educate my subscribers from my personal experience, my quirkiness, my down to earth, truthful and real perspective because I know it not only educates and HELPS others, through my own studies and personal experiences ! And it’s FUN! It’s amazing to just be you. ✨
This is exactly where we need to lead in the age of Aquarius
I believe most content creators actually started with ambition in mind with less discipline and consistency .The lasting creators are those who are obsessed with creating value ...The Real Creators .
This is great Dan! I’ve felt like “I’m late” for years now, hesitant to pull the trigger… this video was just the push I needed. Thanks 🙏
Dan, what you said about “concept,” after problem, goal, example, benefit, and process, is “category” in my mind. It really looks like you’re describing category design, but using different words. Either way, I like where you’re going with this. Good stuff.
And....on the 16. minute mark I have to thank you, because the last few minutes were the best motivation and clarification I could get. I really needed that. Thank you.
Holy shit being a "reality creator" is such a fantastic perspective
This video is for me. I have been struggling to grow my channel, and this video brought some clarity as to why I find it so hard to create the type of content I have been creating. To me, content creation should be meaningful. It should be impactful on someone’s life. Having to chase views and making content around keywords that will get views is the reason I don’t post consistently and even have considered giving up on my dream of being a RUclipsr. This video made me realize being a RUclipsr isn’t the same as being an influencer. Thank you!
Not a content creator but a Life creator!!!! Mic drop!!! I do not consider you a content creator But instead, an educator. Thank you for all of this.
Wow! This speech blew my mind and completely changed my perspective on content creation. I've been a content creator for the last three years, and lately, I've been feeling stuck because it's getting harder and harder to grab attention.
Being oneself in its truest form is the most sustainable and smartest way of being, both in life and online.
I feel this so much. I started uploading videos to RUclips as my own memory archive… and always have enjoyed photography and videography and writing. My goal was never to become popular but it’s always frustrating to hear “you should do this and that” from people .. when I am just trying to travel the way that I love… not chase the things that may trend or be popular. I fear passions are dying because people care more about optics and being popular.
How to be oneself is surprisingly the most effective thing, yet one of the most challenging, since many of us have some imprinted belief that who we are just isn't enough.
In media, advertising, even from our parents' lack of approval. Luckily there are ways out of that fear.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Ss a small creator, it can be tempting to do only trends that generally perform better. But I need to remember that I want to do something that is meaningful. Always.
this is by far my favourite video on youtube
This is awesome!!! Love how well you articulate every idea
Probably the most powerful video on the internet on this subject.
This resonates with me a lot. I'm at the beginning of my creative work career and already noticed the tendencies to deviate from myself and my vision.
This video is being slept on. So much powerful information
Wow!!! Deep. I have indirectly come to a similar conclusion about what drives Contant creators. Struggled with my own path as a content creator because of the need for people to view. This is why I now have turned to stock photography and video so that I don’t have to rely on that stuff and now can create more meaningful Projects and films and not need to worry about the outcome of that to actually profit and pay back all the money I owe for the content creation equipment I paid for over the years.
You’re one of the reasons I want to start creating value-driven content. Keep inspiring us, you’re making a real difference!🧡💛
Saludos desde Argentina, como decimos acá: "me volaste la cabeza". Gracias por llegar en el momento preciso. Mis 34 minutos mejor invertidos en RUclips desde que comenzó el año.
I am a slow learner. I do tours, and I am passionate about the history behind the places and monuments, that is what moves me. I have difficulty to understand the human mind, what they want. I want to try cortex notes system, perhaps they will help me. I use Obsidian for my content.Thanks for you video
The little breakdown on how to turn read ideas into original ideas was wonderfully thought out and executed, but also made me worry that kids don't learn these things at schools when they write essays...
Only 3 things to say:
Simple, direct, and perfect.
Thanks Dan!
I appreciate a calm and focussed video like this.
We need more Anesthesiologist than content creators. Most content on the internet is of low value and garbage. An Anesthesiologist has a more impacting society and to humanity than all this consumerism and lazy behavior. It’s sad that society rewards monetarily the dumber side of society.
True. So, make some nonsense (or great) content that goes viral, monetize, make millions, take millions and set up as many scholarships and informational booths at schools and colleges with real industry experts because you can afford to. And have a glass of nice scotch on the way.
then why did you click on this video if it has „low value“ weirddddd
This video needs to be shown on the news on repeat, and in school. You are a real person and understand. Seriously beautiful video, very well spoken and spitting facts. Beautiful man.
I feel like this was meant for me! Great work Dan!
I show the BTS of being a doctor and business owner. I really resonated with your message of having DEPTH. I think people are fatigued of seeing content that is superficial and unhelpful. Your video helped remind me to be HELPFUL and NOT just a personality. Thanks ❤
Creator who's built a personal brand is telling me that personal brands are dead
Could there be a more authentic source?
Lol
And of course he's selling a course
Thank you Dan. This video inspired me to record my own that I have been postponing for so long. I feel like I can offer much more than my current work. I don't know what it will be, but I am commited to find out. The right resource comes when we are ready for it. Thank you 🙏
Remember when social media was meant to compliment and support your life off the internet? Now people center and plan their lives on making content for social media.
I love this video. Thanks!!
Only comment is around the critique on memes. Memes have a significant role to play; for me, they're a new form of art. They're crucial in navigating the complex issues we face online today. While there are plenty of low-quality memes out there, many are genuinely insightful and creative.
They also serve as educational tools in various contexts. Many individuals earn a living through the honest craft of merging humor with commentary. Although AI has contributed significantly to content creation, I personally appreciate the comedic writers; they're also part of a creator renaissance.

Well said! I’m truly inspired and enjoy this video. I only started RUclips lately after pursued a pretty successful career in last 20 years up till today I had epiphany of changed my life path to pursue something meaningful for myself being a true me. I have started slowly to learn the technique behind. I am glad to start now as technology makes much easier to produce content. My point of view is how to drive the technique to deliver unique message to the world and I don’t care much about getting paid or not; being liked or disliked I think when I can remove the attachment to the outcomes I can be more free to do something to service others. Thanks.
Algorithms are ruining the experience in YT like in others platforms. It’s all the same videos, same content and same people selling unuseful courses
I've been stressing so much about making my channel follow the templates of the likes of top RUclipsrs because I'm worried it won't take off, but it depressed me because it doesn't feel like "me". I don't feel motivated to make videos anymore.
I needed this video. Thank you for putting posting this, it was so refreshing and made me also rethink the direction I'm taking in my hobby side of life, not just on RUclips.
It's hard out there for artists, but I think I'll regret continuing this false facade instead of taking the risk and being true to myself. If it flops, at least I had fun. It's just getting past the social anxiety 😅
I need some clarification. In a video Dan created approximately one year ago titled "The Most Profitable Niche Is You (Create Your Niche Of One), he said, "Your brand is you." Now he's saying, "Personal brands are dead. Which one is it?
he is selling you course to be guru like him, then you sell course to wannabe people, repeat
It changed. Simple as that
@@coszec I know things can change, but not branding - it does not change overnight. "Simple as that." It's obvious you know little to nothing about branding.
He is saying that your personal brand is irrelevant if your work lacks purpose. Are you just going after attention or are you striving to do good?
@@kevinjohntennant174 Okay, thank you for the clarification!
Content that isn't content free. Well worth watching/listening. Thank you.
I read a book by author, Sharon Blackie, "Hagitude, Reimagining the Second Half of Life," I transformed the European depictions of archetypal elder women into music, costume and dance using a Roland Jupiter X synthesizer, which has all the classic 80s "Stranger Things" sounds. I even opened a recording studio with live event space to perform it and that was all the easy part. Now the hard part, finding my audience.
I'm reading that book!
@@KizzalovespugsCool! Are you going to read "Wise Women" too?
Damn, that was a lot in one video. I didn't look for your info, because I didn't know you existed, but you showed up. I needed you. Nice.
Greatest video on this subject I've seen in a long time. Thanks
My God, a young person that really gets it, Today you gave me some Hope in future generations. I've been attempting to bring real Innovative Eco Based Solutions too many of people needs. I've invented or created a great many products and conceptual designs over the years, that many International Companies have taken and used. That said, the way I approach it, does not give me the ability to gain the need funds to live life. But it does touch peoples lives. Lately, I've attempted at creating further Canadian Multimedia Content that will hopefully inspire others to create their own works, but also possibly use these platforms to help others in seeing how to create the real future for all. Anyways, Thanks for what you do.
Social media is a tool to build meaningful human connections, sharing your knowledge and solving problems at scale.
Thank you for this. I started you tube, and I don't want to be an influencer. I want to be a voice of reason,and hopefully spread some good energy in my corner of the internet. I am not on other social media platforms and I don't want to change my lifestyle just to get views.
Your content inspired me to take action . Thank you 👌🏽🙏🏼✨️
I feel like, if it always was your “dream” or goal to start a youtube channel then go for it. I have been wanting to do it since 2009 and not starting must be the worst feeling ever! Seeing everyone else before you start a channel although you deeply wanted to do it but couldn’t because of economical reasons or time. For me it is more like a creative lesson. I get to use my skills I haven’t used in a long time , such as editing, creating digital art. I won’t sink into content creation, I’ll use this platform for my own joy and you should too!
Watched the whole video, and honestly, it felt like a lot of words to say something that could’ve been summed up in one sentence: 'Be authentic, use the internet to share your passions meaningfully, and create content and products that truly add value to your audience.' It feels more like an exercise in stretching the message than delivering something truly fresh or transformative. Less fluff and more straight-to-the-point would’ve made the content more impactful.
Thank u for sparing me from this yapper
I mean he’s doing better than you, so either listen or continue to be ignorant
Actually he gets more view time doing this, so he is winning. You really are on the wrong side of the internet aha.
This video was immensely helpful, thank you Dan. It’s a breath of fresh air to listen to real thoughts and ideas. You’ve inspired me.
you are keeping get better every video! CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are really in tune with the unconscious mind of a great mass of people. GREAT VIDEO! LOVED IT!
I'm from India and involved in textile manufacturing. I have been trying to build a presence on LinkedIn for a long time, and to some extent, by following your advice, I have succeeded.
Im at 7 mins in the vid and here are my thoughts so far. There's a huge difference between creating content on the platform and just being a personality on the platform. Usually people will fall into one or both of those categories. There are also people who have different priorities when making content (example: some do it for profit, others do it for fun) I think recognizing where you fall on this spectrum and embracing it is the key to your personal success in life. It doesn't necessarily need to go deeper for some people, but I get that some will always struggle with it. Especially if you're on the platform to make it your career, versus just being a viewer or even hobbyist creator. Most people just don't decouple the word creator from influencer and probably think they're fundamentally the same when they're absolutely not. This is what I think the main issue with the platform is. Not necessarily whether or not a person is contributing to society at large. Do we really need more products like lunchly? No. I agree we don't. But just like products on the shelf in the grocery store, not everything we buy will be for our health. Some of our consumption of creative content on youtube follows the same formula. We like some things for the healthiness, others for the sugary goodness. Some people like to create whole grain organic videos, others like making candy bars and snack cakes, metaphorically speaking. That's just the human condition. The youtube grocery store has something for everyone, and in my opinion it absolutely should.
