How has RUclips changed your life as a newer creator or small channel? Does any of my experience so far encourage you to get started if you haven't yet? I personally believe there is only tremendous upside to starting!
Hi Ty, I am so glad you posted this video, it is such a breath of fresh air to hear someone talking honestly and from the heart about what it's really like starting out on here. At one point you said that you don't have any social credit or that you haven't proven yourself yet but that's not true! I only found your channel a few days ago and watching the few videos you have uploaded so far have encouraged me massively. If your mission is to help people you're doing a good job and if you keep chipping away as you are, you will build up a lovely community. Your vibe attracts your tribe and you are coming across so well. I can resonate with so many things that you say about life and yourself. I love that you filmed this outdoors, it was a great watch and the audio was perfect x
Aww thank you so much. I don't know what to say, you are too kind. I think the scariest part is not knowing if we have the kind of vibe that can attract any tribe. I'm sure many of us think that and as a result, never take the steps to find out. There's a big part of me that worries about that, but there's also a slightly larger part that thinks it's worth taking the risk. I'd rather regret trying and failing, than not trying at all. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment
I'm 4 years into journaling thanks to Atomic Habits and I've been using a habit tracker all that time. It's got to the stage where I don't feel I've accomplished anything if I don't complete it. Things on my habit tracker include drinking 2 ltrs of water a day (which is important if, like me, you only have one kidney), reading something positive every day, practising my Spanish and a whole host of other things. I also change things I want to track along the way depending on what habits I want to focus on. Keeping a journal and habit tracking has had a massive influence on how I go about my days, Ty, you're getting better and better in your presenting style with each video and your authenticity is shining through, well done. You're way better than you were when we first met online. Don't worry, I'm still cutting ums and ahs out too. I rarely look at my analytics - I found they made me worry about my channel. I probably have a look once a month. STOP....expecting too much too soon. You're doing fine!
James, I love that you're still going strong with your habit tracker. You're inspiring me to keep going with it! And thanks for your continued support and hanging out with me in my videos :D
This video was great! One of the best I’ve watched in a few weeks because of how much it resonated with me. I have another channel that I made maybe 3 videos for and then stopped because of a job & apartment loss. Living on the road now for a few months and I want so much to continue but lacking the regular setup. Thanks so much for your honest thoughts out loud; you’ve given me a lot to think about!
I love the roof top chat- especially with the sun in the background. You seem very authentic in your delivery and I can relate to a lot of what you are saying. I'm a bit older than you are, so I feel like I have a different perspective, having been through my own growth challenges at a similar age. I would encourage you to continue your RUclips journey while making sure nurture your real life relationships. Wishing you great success as you figure it all out.🌱
Great book! With some great tips. It's great you feel motivated. I think a lot of people starting youtube, find the biggest personal impact it has, is confidence from getting out of their comfort zone. And you say, why would anyone listen to you and no one should, but you are already one step ahead of some people, so you are showing those people the way. Keep it up, you've got this 😊
Thank you Jenn, I appreciate you checking out this video. I'm starting to refer to it as "Embracing your Discomfort zone" since that is where the real growth stems from. I hope to do a more in depth video on Atomic Habits and perhaps some lessons new creators can take from it.
That would be awesome! There is definitely some good tips that would help people with getting into the right mind set! You actually popped up on my FB as a suggested friend a few days back. I've only just made the connection with the name. As FB and YT aren't linked (as far as I know), I'm wondering, are you part of VRA?
I appreciate the message! I’m in active YT lurker/planning mode😂. I’m a retired grandma and I’ve found an area/niche I’m drawn to. I’m glad I found your channel!
@@Ty_Myers I’m making design decisions now and setting up a framework. Most of it will be similar to what I have on TikTok. My niche is researching & exposing covert Christian nationalist (not true Christians) organizations and showcasing the harm & chaos they create. I need to remain anonymous on the channel for safety reasons so I’m incorporating AI, but I’m happy to talk shop offline. Full disclosure, I have more questions than answers at this point. I desperately need a reasonably priced source for B-roll & practical tools like that.
Funny I must be the only person who is clueless about playing online games, except 8ball pool. 3:48 I smiled so hard because I am so hooked on the views more than anything else. Might not be ideal but I always check the views before even a subscriber. I need to motivate myself more so I can be consistent. Ohh and by the way, I created a system as to how I can get in 10000 steps daily. Awesome video. I know you will be celebrating monetization for Christmas. Please don't criticize your repeated words or how you talk, I could sit all day and listen to you over Ali Abdaal, yessssssss he knows his stuff, yessssssss he is a successsssssssssssful RUclipsr, but it is like trying to understand Mathematics in class and trust me I really try but nope! Even his interviews are too painful for me. Yep, I can relate, I am a bowl of porridge before the camera hence I jumped to a faceless channel.
It's definitely tough getting in front of the camera. It's not intuitive for most people, myself included. It just takes a lot of practice and a lot of feeling crappy about how it went. I'm finding that if I practice talking about topics and concepts and ideas in real life with other people, that when it comes time to talk to camera, i'm so much better.
I appreciate you and your videos. Keep up the great work man. Quick question, are you a software engineer? Based on your personality I think you are. Specifically a backend dev who also does some frontend work. Maybe you even classify yourself as full stack. Let me know if I nailed that right :D
Lol nooo you are waaaay off. I've been working for a large Telecom (cellular) provider for the last 20 years. For the last 5 I've lead a team of Solutions Architects selling VoIP and Business Internet solutions to Small/Medium businesses. But I'll take that as a compliment?
Hello Ty, it is refreshing to watch your videos, and especially knowing like me, you are in your 40s. You are right, when you do not have many people in your circles who are on RUclips creating, it can be a lonely journey. I would be open to getting into a call or zoom call with you and exchange ideas.
Thanks Gakuo, I know there's a lot of us out here trying to figure things out, so I'm hoping to help :D I'm going to think a bit more about creating a Facebook group perhaps for some of us smaller RUclipsrs where we can share ideas and maybe meet every now and then to discuss ideas. Is that something you'd be interested in?
I suggest concentrating on the 18:40 mark of this video. This will help you attract more subscribers, and over time, the "um's" and "so's" will gradually disappear from your speech. If you host a call, I'd be glad to join and discuss my channel's progress. I'm sure you know how to reach me, and if not, I'll be around.
Jordan! Thanks for watching and the feedback. And I'll definitely let you know if/when I can put something together to chat. I was also thinking about a private Facebook group to stay connected with others who might be interested. Let me know your interest level on that.

This one really hit home for me, Ty…and I haven’t even posted my first video yet! 🤦♂️ Thanks for being so open and honest about your struggles.
thanks Jim for watching
Completely on board with embracing the discomfort zone. I'm running into 100% the same thing. Thanks for sharing and being open.
no problem and thank you for watching.
Saving your vids, very encouraging. Thank you much!🙏
You are welcome, glad it was helpful

Hey thanks that's so kind of you. I appreciate your feedback ver much :D I do plan on keepin on and seeing what happens. Best of luck to you as well 🙏
You would be a great motivational speaker.

Love this video. Keep going. We're watching and being inspired. ❤

@@living_redefined That's an interesting topic/niche and I totally get the safety concern. Have you tried Canva yet for B-roll?
@@Ty_Myers I’ll check it out. I actually never thought of Canva-which I’m already paying for. Thanks for showing me a blind spot!

@@Ty_Myers : Well I have watched a few of your videos and you seem very relaxed and fluent. You are way ahead of the game.. Let me tell you.

@@Ty_Myers I could try the Facebook group but, I'm more of a fan of discord.
Ok good to know! I'm old so I'm not sure what people are into these days 👀
@@Ty_Myers I load them up on my computer. I think the newest trend is using WhatsApp and Signal.
