I told this story before but I had my channel reviewed by Dan and them when I had 500-600 subs I forgot the exact number. Literally almost a year ago to this date. The advice they told me was to get better at storytelling because everything else was super unique compared to other channels. I took the advice and instead of making random funny gaming animations I changed it to funny longer animations with a written story instead. That advice got me 350K subs 12 months later right now. Full Time RUclipsr now and just a year ago i was unemployed coming off a job washing dishes in a supermarket. Don't matter age or anything, anyone can make it.
I watched your recent video "The COMPLETE Doors Series... (Animation)" and within 20 seconds of watching it, I was Hooked by that 0001 Door, wanting to know what the hell is behind that door, and I'm not a special fan of roblox animations. This must mean you've got that down. Props to you!
This video got me so emotional and motivated. I'm 41, mom of 3, full time job and decided to persue this. It can be overwhelming at times , but 2 months later 225 subscribers, learning a lot and loving it ❤. I truly appreciate your content.
Probably the way it was put together, the editing. There are frequent sound effects, frame changes and music changes, video basically has adhd. It is difficult to maintain such energy over a long video, also people, who watch adhd videos, may not necessarily be able to stick throguh something longer and less energetic.
Dang, thank you for this. Currently homeless, documenting my journey as I go along, working pretty much full time to become a monetized youtuber. You guys might see me in the algorithm one day;) thank you for this 🙏🏼🙏🏼
To all content creators out there keep telling your story and create what makes you happy, you deserve success! VidIQ! You guys really do a great job of telling a story while being informative! Thank you! Your knowledge and delivery have helped me greatly!
This really spoke to me because most people giving RUclips advice are people who have only grown a following by saying they can help you grow a following or from old RUclipsrs who are disconnected from how it is growing a channel recently. I have 13 years of learning RUclips and spent thousand of dollars on courses from people like Sean cannell and I’m still not able to go full time on RUclips
Its been over a year, I cant find my niche and I am picking stuffs here and there and putting on my channel. I know that I won't give up and I am not a quitter. But I just dont know what I need to be doing
To all the beginners out there, congratulations for even making the effort to start your channel. You've got this, keep moving on, learning and growing. You've got to see it to achieve it.
I'm so happy my dream was RUclips as a younger kid. I watched so many of your videos over anyone else's. Thank you VidIQ team, because I hit my first 1 1/2 years on RUclips, and with this fourth channel I started a few days to put my learning to the test, I hit 100 subs on day one! Thank you so much for all the help! (I get I'm focusing on shorts and I haven't got any past the seed audience levels but this has been a dream!)
This is an incredible story and journey. As a beginner, it's interesting to think I "know" my niche. Maybe I'm wrong! And... I probably need to tell more stories :) I watched until the end, you are incredible at this!
I'm a full time RUclipsr =D I don't class myself as a 'big' creator though, I still see myself as very small. I actually started full time on RUclips when I had about 10K Subs and was getting about 600k views a month. It was a rough start though but you gotta keep at it and stay consistent!
i had a couple videos pop off but i get up in my head cuz im still young tryna learn content creation but i think i need to put more time in my videos and engage more with my viewers!
I think I fell in love with this video. I'm glad to have see you on this channel and your story really inspires me a ton! Thank you for this video, everyone!
You guys are geniuses for hiring that man. John is on point and I live so many things he said. Storytelling is at the center of what I do and I emulated many creators and compiled styles to create what has become my own. I started my RUclips channel like three years ago and it languished, so I stopped posting. But just three weeks ago one video that has been on the channel for a while took off and lifted several others. Subscribers started pouring in and responded to the storytelling. I gained over 13,000 subs in just three weeks and was monetized in a flash. VidIQ has been a go to channel for me and this video is among the best I've seen of all the vids I've watched so far. As I'm growing,, this channel continues to educate and inspire me.
Wow...mahn this video was just spot on!, The Hook was just so... Hooking!...so to say, it was so striking. And the story telling, and the visuals were all just so powerful..I couldn't resist watching the entire video, even though I didn't even intend to at the beginning... didn't even notice 16 minutes had actually elapsed ..the way this guy was talking, to the advice and the visual editings ...it all made it very easy to connect with him. And most importantly, to relate with him. Thank you so much vidiq for posting this video. Such a valuable treasure, for me I'm saving it so that I can be Watching it once in a while when ever I feel like I've lost direction and I don't know anymore where I'm going, or even what I'm doing...thank u so much once again, please keep up the good work!.
Rob, Dan and the vidIQ team are the best to learn from. I just don't seem to have to right tools or income to progress to monetisation (which when i do i wanna donate to a local charity who helped my late family and put back into my community. Great video guys ✌️ 😊
OMG!! That thumbnail, lmao. That is a Mr beast level thumbnail if not better there was no way to not click on it, video most certainly didn't disappoint either. Highly relatable from the experiences to the research and boy do I love posh rob.
I can relate to him in the sense that he watched copious amounts of VID IQ, Film Booth and other channels. I finally got monetised 2 months ago. My channel is doing pretty well and VID IQ has helped me heaps with creating thumbnails, titles etc. So I recommend other channels to soak this all up. Thanks VIDIQ 👍🏾😊
I was immediately captured by the editing in this video before editing was even brought up. Amazing job and now I have someone new to learn from! Thank you! 💜
When I first starting my RUclips channel, I always thought there was a certain way to make a video go viral. Like a certain pattern or certain format. But after watching this video, I learned something that I’ve should’ve learned along time ago. Thank u so much for this video. I’m going to take all of these tips and advice and make my videos.
Great story, brilliantly edited, brilliantly told, engaging, relatable, and most of all inspiring to all who want to make this a career... Way to go, John!
Just lost my day job, on the hunt for a new one, I would love to go full time, but having a house, with a wife and kids, the gamble is not just on me, its the family (I know others have the same issue). I would love to go full time, but like you say, you will never know what will work for you, and I don't have savings, so check to check but pushing for the potential (while I apply for jobs)
Great Story, really nice to hear that journey :) One of my biggest fear or insecurity is, that I would like to make videos in English, but I fear that i just speak gibberish :D and when editing I really don't like to hear my own voice. Any helpfull tips to overcome those?
Storytelling is the trick in getting viewers glue to your channel. Even if your video is boring, if your voice over or story you are telling is interesting. Viewers will continue watching
I have done this myself. Decided from my first video that I'm going all in, thankfully I'm in a position where I can. I'm 8 videos in after 2 months and up to 125 subs so far. My editing is getting better and quicker and I'm hoping to up my ear to 2 videos a week soon
Your editing is great man, thanks for the advice, I still have SOO much to learn about video editing, I feel like I've only seen the tip of the iceberg!
I'm a noob but love the editing process, can also edit for 16 hours straight. Envato Elements is a great resource for sound effects and music, but also everything else you need from titles, graphics, photos and more. Wish you all great success!
WOW! Thank you. I have been searching for 2 years on how to be more of a creator and your style and tenor of tone on this video - lets put it this way, going to watch a couple of times - not to copy of course but many points you brought up, really resonate with me. Even MY mom on a recent telephone call said, 'Tony - you need to find your niche'. Anyway - congrats and may your journey continue to be bright. I will look you up in a year and when all goes better than now - can thank you again.
Thanks for sharing your story, as a beginner to youtube, I have experinced the same struggle with trying to figure out a niche. With my love for gaming and the clash of wanting to be a pro in higher levels of games as well as be a successful content creator, I struggled to find that right thing that made my channel special. So like anybody with this, I procrastinated and waited for the "right moment". I would occasionally stream, but I didn't try to do videos as often. I would every now again do montages but only did one video that did poorly. (Or at least I hated the quality of it) Now that I understand that the youtube journey can be different and you don't have to have a set in stone niche, I'm actually exited to create content again. :D
Keep creating and it will all fall into place! I'm still in my journey as well. We all have different paths, as unpredictable as they are. As long as we don't stop, we'll all make it to the destination. 😁
Your journey through hustles/jobs/professions sounded SO familiar to me. It is my dream to do what you have done, break free from the 9-5 and actually do something that resonates with me. Thank you for sharing your story. It is encouraging.
With real estate we lost so much money it isn’t funny😅 This is so relatable. And the editing in this video is incredible. And yes never in my favor either. I love how you take a leap of faith and took that opportunity and lead to so many things🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 So happy for you and everything work out for you. Thank you so much for sharing
Thanks for sharing your story. I loved watching Malcom in the Middle growing up, and wouldn’t have known until you pointed it out! Bravo to your success! 🎉
This is a powerful title and a powerful video! Glad I watched this😊 Btw I feel like I'll never get picked out of the claw since I started watching the vidIQ livestreams😂
I started my gaming channel 6 weeks ago... I had some great success in the first 4 weeks, with 1 vid hitting 9k views! In last 2 weeks, I felt creatively burnt out though and nearly quit YouTubing after a few vids that didn't do quite as well... 7 days ago I stumbled upon your vids and have spent a few hours each day getting inspired and learning so much by your channel and it reinvigorated my passion and gave me fresh new ideas... I put extra time and effort into the new knowledge I gained from all your vids into my last vid I released 2 days ago and it's now going viral with already 7k plus views and now on track to be my most successful vid so far!!! Can't thank you Rob and VidIQ enough for all your priceless knowledge, humour and enthusiasm! Keep inspiring us Content Creators as we attempt to make the world a better place, keep up the awesome work! 🙌
Brilliant editing this kept me watching .. oh and I launched my RUclips channel thanks to VidIQ and they also did a great channel audit on me .so thanks for all the help
This was awesome with a big side order of pure brilliance. Your skills are supreme. I'm stuck in finding my style, but like you say, I just need to try and keep trying
To the awesome person reading this, always remember, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs. Your dreams are worth every effort and every setback. Keep pushing forward, stay passionate, and don't let anything deter you. The journey may be tough, but your dreams are within reach. Keep going, because greatness awaits you! 🌟💪🚀
Hi John! Love the video! I've got VidIQ Boost, and have been looking at upgrading to MAX, but just can't afford it right now, so I'm taking advantage of everything that Boost has to offer until I can afford to upgrade. Absolutely LOVE the 2nd half of the video as well! So much good advice!
The editing is incredible and the talent really shines through! However i think that when it comes to editing like this, the audience may split. personally it was so overwhelming to watch and follow what was being said because i felt bombarded by all the effects 😹 i could follow for the first 5 minutes or so, but then everything was a bit much and i felt out of breath by the end hahaha. the youtubers i watch make edits but not to this extent (not even Kurtis Conner goes this hard lmao). while i want to keep my audience engaged in what i have to say, i don’t want to attack them with 5 different things happening in a span of 1 minute, whether it’s visually or with audio. idk how many people prefer this type of editing but it’s important to keep in mind who you want to appeal to. most commentary channels have minimal editing, or two/three things happening at once, while still having an engaged audience. i guess that’s where my audience lies as well. :) target audience is key! still, congratulations to you & your skills have gotten you so far as to work with VidIQ! The talent is extraordinary, for real! So good job and keep at it !
Wow… such good advice. As creators who are just starting out we are definitely finding that the hardest part of this journey is trying to get our stuff seen by others because it’s one thing to have great ideas and put a lot of work into what we are creating but totally another to hope that the algorithm just picks it up and puts it out there for people to view. That fight against the algorithm is totally real… and it can definitely feel like an uphill battle. But the tips mentioned were definitely helpful. Thank you.
I have just started, although there are many difficulties, there is also a lot of joy from each view. Thank you and good luck to everyone reading these words
Epidemicsounds been great to me as I start into the beast that is youtube content creation, I smiled pretty wide when I saw it advertised here. Also thank you, I have been watching, taking notes and practicing like a mad man. Thank you for the help!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I am trying to learn how to grow into myself on RUclips, and you offer many compelling insights! I look forward to hearing and learning more as I explored your content!
Could you explain more about unlisting videos, show if it actually helps and how, demonstrate pros and cons? Also... Unlisting older published videos that don't reflect your niche VS deleting them. Appreciate your help! Thank you for this video.
thank you for your story. I've been on hold on my youtube, but this is an excellent lifter to start again. I love being creative and using different media. but my downfall is if my content is even that good... I have terrible anxiety and I have a really small space to record. i keep making shorts but never bigger video's
I'm a new content creator and decided to embark on this journey just yesterday. I just want to say that I simply love the vidIQ RUclips channel and the videos! All the videos I've watched, including this one, are great quality, highly entertaining, and provide tons of value to people like me! I subscribed, signed up, and I'm currently binging their videos! A huge THANK YOU to your team! Keep up the good work!
I am new at this and really started trying harder a tad over a month ago and I am happy with my progress, 49 video that are getting better, went from 3 subscribers to 37. I just tried something then tried something else that I was already doing and just filmed it and uploaded. I keep my goal simple 100 subscribers and see how it goes before making my next goal. I would guess I'll never go BIG and get monitized, But I am having fun and learning something new.🙂
Awesome video, John! Wonderful editing, and really great advice. I'm about to revive a couple of channels and start a new one and I have been going round in circles, so this video has been a real catalyst just to dive in and improve as I go. Thank you!
This is the most relatable video I've ever seen! An adult with lack of direction and fear of getting started, but something has to work. That is definitely where I am!
I just started my real journey on youtube, and so far its been quite a ride! 38k views, and 112 subscribes feels like so much to someone whos never tried to have a real online presence before, but i know i still have such a long road ahead, cant wait to see where perserverence leads me!
Damn. Yeah same here the struggle for the right Niche. And that every Journey is different from one another, i always say that there's no clear correct way in doing what everyone is doing. I want to be fully myself & unique to others in my channel. That's the most important part to me, not changing who i am or losing myself for the sake of the channel, I am who i am & always want to get better starting as a person, personality, character & professional. so always work on yourself too & notice where you can become a much better & wiser person with each step, decision, day,.... I mean i love gaming in general & many different games that don't fall into the same category or anything related at All. Like I wanted to make the Channel about Fifa mainly Career Modes, challenges & new ideas too for that. But now it's mostly about Dayz Videos & stories to come & other survival games like deadside too. Also i love F1 Manager, Cities Skyline, etc... They are all sooo different from one another. Even the name of my channel that I want to change (not convinced about it & already have a better options in mind), but first trying to do everything by myself or if i'm able to find someone to work on the main LOGO & animate it for the videos too. Plus you have a life to live. A Job, Career as an IT Professional who's still learning, trying to get better from working to still studying for some more certifications & skills. With learning on how to edit using premiere pro, photoshop, the time it takes is unbelievable for all the stuff I want to do. With not gaining any subscribers even though my shorts are getting average 500 views. It's a struggle & definitely takes a lot of time to finally start getting noticed more & more with learning the needed skills to be a good enough & then continue to learn to be better with each video of course. It's a long process & we'll have our ups & downs all the time no doubt. So it's also about consistency, time & dedication to actually keep on going or taking a small break when you feel overwhelmed to then restart again.
I get u,thats problem with "doing it for the audience" the day u start bringing the "you" in the content,they disappear. It happened to me on TikTok,had to start afresh. I'm still figuring out what I can do on RUclips.
Rob, this is very off topic but I need to know. Yesterday I was watching the Russel Howard show and at one point he was showing a video of the BBC and the guy who was doing the voice over sounded EXACTLY like you. Please let me know if you were doing voice overs for the BBC 😅🙌
Wow, this video is super inspiring! I loved how you reminded us all to just start. It's easy to get caught up in making everything perfect before hitting upload, but trial and error really is the best teacher. I also appreciated the idea that finding your style takes time. It's cool to realize that our unique style comes from mixing what we’ve learned from others. And the part about opportunities really hit home; you never know when a little moment can lead to something big! Thanks for sharing your journey and these valuable lessons!
Thanks a lot for sharing this Precious information ℹ️ 🙏 This RUclips ‘s moon to earth journey will be wonderful and informative because Gurus like You All Are around 🙏
I started my channel two years ago, and even got lucky enough to be graced by the VidIQ claw in a livestream when I was REALLY new-like, I-had-three-videos new haha. But now, two years later, I’m still incredibly small and very occasionally worried because I fear that I’ll stay unnoticed forever. This video showed me how to just relax, and do what I love to do because I love it, and maybe things will work out :) There’s nothing I’ve ever done that I love nearly as much as animating on RUclips. I’ve enjoyed it more than anything else in life, and I want to be able to animate on my channel until the day I die (exaggeration but you get the point lol). Thanks a million VidIQ, for always giving me some of the most powerful motivation and inspiration I could ever ask for. Your channel is a blessing to me, and a million other people, too!🫡😁
OMG, Im doing youtube so I can build up my portfolio and teach others what pretty much how to do my job!!! This is pretty relatable. I just started 2 days ago, hope to get monetized before June 2024!
Thanx i also quit my job as a teacher and wanna be a full time youtuve creator, just month ago I got monetized and I believe now I can i am ready, keep giving motivation for us ✊
Hey John… 0:15 I see what you did there (cut in and cut outs) 🔥 fire video you dropped today about editing hacks. So glad you’re apart of the VidIQ team! Such an asset to an already awesome channel!
Thank you for this video, I have been doing the RUclips thing on and off years, I get motivated and ready and put out a bunch of content and nothing happens and then I disappear again.. I've tried using everything I know from my day job as a motion designer and video editor to using bare minimum too. There's just something in the process that I'm not understanding somewhere and I can't figure out what that is either.. I think it's worth noting that doing it on your own is really difficult, especially when you're a much slower learner than others. I'd love to connect with a community of creators that are helping each other out but I can't afford getting through the month let alone have the disposable income for expert advice.. it gets hard sometimes, really really hard, to keep myself going.
Loved the video! Incredibly Inspiring story for someone that's literally started a channel 4 days ago! That's a great note to end tonight's session of 'how to for RUclips channel building' bender 🤩 Also loved Malcolm in the Middle 😅
Your editing IS awesome. I noticed the editing itself is a story line of it's own. It tells the jokes you don't verbalize. I'm watching a master here :)
One question i have checked John Scott youtube channel but then with all the editing skills and catching attention presenting himself how come youtube didnt push his channel or videos to the nextlevel....... he got few sub and few views... while he spend time for editing the videos thats so unfair... even my channel now got labeled as re used content
I don't comment on many videos. In fact, I can't even remember clearly ever commenting on a video. But this video really connected with me. I really believe everyone's journey is unique, but many creators tell a story about their journey that rarely highlights that point. Great video!

Woah I hope VidIQ are paying this editor phenomenally cause this editing is on point!
It is! It's really unique too
Excellent work on this video John! Glad you're part of the team.

This really spoke to me because most people giving RUclips advice are people who have only grown a following by saying they can help you grow a following or from old RUclipsrs who are disconnected from how it is growing a channel recently. I have 13 years of learning RUclips and spent thousand of dollars on courses from people like Sean cannell and I’m still not able to go full time on RUclips
I'm planning on going Full Time. I got my channel Monetized earlier this month which is a motivation for me!
Congratulations
Congratulations! 🥳
Congrats! Wish you the best in the future!!!
Good luck👍
Congrats 🎉 me too, today in fact!
First thing I noticed about John was the editing. Totally grabbed my attention. His storytelling is engaging, too!
Editing before storytelling. That's why you tube is unwatchable today
To the person who is reading this, don't give up on your channel, it's going to grow. We will get there fam!
Started my channel a little over a month ago. Finally have,,,3 subs. A lot of work with a full time job and family but it's pretty fun.
thanks you just give me hope
Its been over a year, I cant find my niche and I am picking stuffs here and there and putting on my channel. I know that I won't give up and I am not a quitter. But I just dont know what I need to be doing
Thanks
Yeah mun

Thanks so much!
@@HeyJohnScott you’re welcome!
You’re learning and improving with each new video you make. You guys will get there 💪💪💪
Just start as youtubers for shorts video. See this video make me more motivated. Good luck guys n for myself too🤜🤛
When I first starting my RUclips channel, I always thought there was a certain way to make a video go viral. Like a certain pattern or certain format. But after watching this video, I learned something that I’ve should’ve learned along time ago. Thank u so much for this video. I’m going to take all of these tips and advice and make my videos.
High 5!! Corporate figure here! But in my country. There is no 9-5. It’s normally 8-when your body can’t take it anymore.
Great story, brilliantly edited, brilliantly told, engaging, relatable, and most of all inspiring to all who want to make this a career... Way to go, John!
Just lost my day job, on the hunt for a new one, I would love to go full time, but having a house, with a wife and kids, the gamble is not just on me, its the family (I know others have the same issue). I would love to go full time, but like you say, you will never know what will work for you, and I don't have savings, so check to check but pushing for the potential (while I apply for jobs)
This is such great advice. Now I know that all we new creators need to do is be the 1 in a billion creators to land the perfect job! Excellent.
This has got to be one of the most entertaining you tube videos I've ever seen. Great job!
Thanks so much, David Wallace.
Great Story, really nice to hear that journey :) One of my biggest fear or insecurity is, that I would like to make videos in English, but I fear that i just speak gibberish :D and when editing I really don't like to hear my own voice. Any helpfull tips to overcome those?
Try some public speaking training, it is challenging, but surely you can overcome it. 😊
Ooh I have this problem too, I hate to hear my own voice and as soon as the camera is on I forget how to talk 😂
@@hideawaycottage I know what you mean😅
Absolutely listening to one's own voice is sometimes odd but with practice and practice you get better at it
Storytelling is the trick in getting viewers glue to your channel.
Even if your video is boring, if your voice over or story you are telling is interesting.
Viewers will continue watching
I have done this myself. Decided from my first video that I'm going all in, thankfully I'm in a position where I can. I'm 8 videos in after 2 months and up to 125 subs so far. My editing is getting better and quicker and I'm hoping to up my ear to 2 videos a week soon
you can do it :)
Here's another example of that. Less than one year uploading on RUclips!
What an absolutely brilliant video. I was laughing and enjoying it, whilst learning a ton of info, that's a rare skill, Job well done Sir!
Your editing is great man, thanks for the advice, I still have SOO much to learn about video editing, I feel like I've only seen the tip of the iceberg!
I'm a noob but love the editing process, can also edit for 16 hours straight. Envato Elements is a great resource for sound effects and music, but also everything else you need from titles, graphics, photos and more. Wish you all great success!
WOW! Thank you. I have been searching for 2 years on how to be more of a creator and your style and tenor of tone on this video - lets put it this way, going to watch a couple of times - not to copy of course but many points you brought up, really resonate with me. Even MY mom on a recent telephone call said, 'Tony - you need to find your niche'. Anyway - congrats and may your journey continue to be bright. I will look you up in a year and when all goes better than now - can thank you again.
Amazing video👍
Thanks for sharing your story, as a beginner to youtube, I have experinced the same struggle with trying to figure out a niche. With my love for gaming and the clash of wanting to be a pro in higher levels of games as well as be a successful content creator, I struggled to find that right thing that made my channel special. So like anybody with this, I procrastinated and waited for the "right moment". I would occasionally stream, but I didn't try to do videos as often. I would every now again do montages but only did one video that did poorly. (Or at least I hated the quality of it) Now that I understand that the youtube journey can be different and you don't have to have a set in stone niche, I'm actually exited to create content again. :D
Keep creating and it will all fall into place! I'm still in my journey as well. We all have different paths, as unpredictable as they are. As long as we don't stop, we'll all make it to the destination. 😁
💪👍
Great video. I’ve played with 3D Blender Modeling. I find it addictive and frustrating at the same time. Off to check out your channel. 😊
Your video really help, think you bro
Thank you for watching!
@@vidIQ think you for your good info,
Your videos really work for me 🙏
Your journey through hustles/jobs/professions sounded SO familiar to me. It is my dream to do what you have done, break free from the 9-5 and actually do something that resonates with me. Thank you for sharing your story. It is encouraging.
With real estate we lost so much money it isn’t funny😅 This is so relatable. And the editing in this video is incredible.
And yes never in my favor either. I love how you take a leap of faith and took that opportunity and lead to so many things🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 So happy for you and everything work out for you. Thank you so much for sharing
Perfect editing goes unnoticed. A lot of you tubers are always complimented someone's editing. If you noticed the editing .you went overboard
Thanks for sharing your story. I loved watching Malcom in the Middle growing up, and wouldn’t have known until you pointed it out! Bravo to your success! 🎉
This is a powerful title and a powerful video! Glad I watched this😊
Btw I feel like I'll never get picked out of the claw since I started watching the vidIQ livestreams😂
What an awesome video and great story. & John's editing is LETHAL! Appreciate him sharing his inspiring journey.
:)
I started my gaming channel 6 weeks ago... I had some great success in the first 4 weeks, with 1 vid hitting 9k views! In last 2 weeks, I felt creatively burnt out though and nearly quit YouTubing after a few vids that didn't do quite as well... 7 days ago I stumbled upon your vids and have spent a few hours each day getting inspired and learning so much by your channel and it reinvigorated my passion and gave me fresh new ideas... I put extra time and effort into the new knowledge I gained from all your vids into my last vid I released 2 days ago and it's now going viral with already 7k plus views and now on track to be my most successful vid so far!!! Can't thank you Rob and VidIQ enough for all your priceless knowledge, humour and enthusiasm! Keep inspiring us Content Creators as we attempt to make the world a better place, keep up the awesome work! 🙌
This is some serious editing style 🔥
Brilliant editing this kept me watching .. oh and I launched my RUclips channel thanks to VidIQ and they also did a great channel audit on me .so thanks for all the help
This was awesome with a big side order of pure brilliance. Your skills are supreme.
I'm stuck in finding my style, but like you say, I just need to try and keep trying
I loved this video. This was so inspiring and I will never give up :) Everyone go after your dreams! It is never too late
Subscribed to your channel
Wow! I can relate SO MUCH! From the musician part to many of other things!!! Awesome video!🤗🤗🤗 Thank you
To the awesome person reading this, always remember, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs. Your dreams are worth every effort and every setback. Keep pushing forward, stay passionate, and don't let anything deter you. The journey may be tough, but your dreams are within reach. Keep going, because greatness awaits you! 🌟💪🚀
Hi John! Love the video! I've got VidIQ Boost, and have been looking at upgrading to MAX, but just can't afford it right now, so I'm taking advantage of everything that Boost has to offer until I can afford to upgrade. Absolutely LOVE the 2nd half of the video as well! So much good advice!
The editing is incredible and the talent really shines through! However i think that when it comes to editing like this, the audience may split.
personally it was so overwhelming to watch and follow what was being said because i felt bombarded by all the effects 😹 i could follow for the first 5 minutes or so, but then everything was a bit much and i felt out of breath by the end hahaha. the youtubers i watch make edits but not to this extent (not even Kurtis Conner goes this hard lmao). while i want to keep my audience engaged in what i have to say, i don’t want to attack them with 5 different things happening in a span of 1 minute, whether it’s visually or with audio. idk how many people prefer this type of editing but it’s important to keep in mind who you want to appeal to. most commentary channels have minimal editing, or two/three things happening at once, while still having an engaged audience. i guess that’s where my audience lies as well. :) target audience is key!
still, congratulations to you & your skills have gotten you so far as to work with VidIQ! The talent is extraordinary, for real! So good job and keep at it !
I agree I find to much movement makes me feel sick. I don't watch Mr beast for that reason.
Wow… such good advice. As creators who are just starting out we are definitely finding that the hardest part of this journey is trying to get our stuff seen by others because it’s one thing to have great ideas and put a lot of work into what we are creating but totally another to hope that the algorithm just picks it up and puts it out there for people to view. That fight against the algorithm is totally real… and it can definitely feel like an uphill battle. But the tips mentioned were definitely helpful. Thank you.
👍*
I have just started, although there are many difficulties, there is also a lot of joy from each view. Thank you and good luck to everyone reading these words
You always come with awesome content ..thanks
Thank you for watching! 😊
Epidemicsounds been great to me as I start into the beast that is youtube content creation, I smiled pretty wide when I saw it advertised here.
Also thank you, I have been watching, taking notes and practicing like a mad man.
Thank you for the help!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I am trying to learn how to grow into myself on RUclips, and you offer many compelling insights! I look forward to hearing and learning more as I explored your content!
Your story telling and editing is simply out of this world. Love, love, love!
Could you explain more about unlisting videos, show if it actually helps and how, demonstrate pros and cons? Also... Unlisting older published videos that don't reflect your niche VS deleting them.
Appreciate your help! Thank you for this video.
thank you for your story. I've been on hold on my youtube, but this is an excellent lifter to start again. I love being creative and using different media. but my downfall is if my content is even that good... I have terrible anxiety and I have a really small space to record. i keep making shorts but never bigger video's
I'm a new content creator and decided to embark on this journey just yesterday.
I just want to say that I simply love the vidIQ RUclips channel and the videos!
All the videos I've watched, including this one, are great quality, highly entertaining, and provide tons of value to people like me!
I subscribed, signed up, and I'm currently binging their videos!
A huge THANK YOU to your team! Keep up the good work!
Mr.beast is kind
?
Yeah what??
@@Cleo_fleming bruh
@Grady Larson what I'm just confused on what you said it doesn't make any sense 🤷 bruh
yes
Well, that was unexpectedly enjoy- and watchable!
I am new at this and really started trying harder a tad over a month ago and I am happy with my progress, 49 video that are getting better, went from 3 subscribers to 37. I just tried something then tried something else that I was already doing and just filmed it and uploaded. I keep my goal simple 100 subscribers and see how it goes before making my next goal. I would guess I'll never go BIG and get monitized, But I am having fun and learning something new.🙂
Awesome video, John! Wonderful editing, and really great advice. I'm about to revive a couple of channels and start a new one and I have been going round in circles, so this video has been a real catalyst just to dive in and improve as I go. Thank you!
This is the most relatable video I've ever seen! An adult with lack of direction and fear of getting started, but something has to work. That is definitely where I am!
I just started my real journey on youtube, and so far its been quite a ride! 38k views, and 112 subscribes feels like so much to someone whos never tried to have a real online presence before, but i know i still have such a long road ahead, cant wait to see where perserverence leads me!
And if youre reading this dont give up! PERSERVERE!!!
Damn. Yeah same here the struggle for the right Niche. And that every Journey is different from one another, i always say that there's no clear correct way in doing what everyone is doing. I want to be fully myself & unique to others in my channel. That's the most important part to me, not changing who i am or losing myself for the sake of the channel, I am who i am & always want to get better starting as a person, personality, character & professional. so always work on yourself too & notice where you can become a much better & wiser person with each step, decision, day,....
I mean i love gaming in general & many different games that don't fall into the same category or anything related at All.
Like I wanted to make the Channel about Fifa mainly Career Modes, challenges & new ideas too for that.
But now it's mostly about Dayz Videos & stories to come & other survival games like deadside too.
Also i love F1 Manager, Cities Skyline, etc...
They are all sooo different from one another.
Even the name of my channel that I want to change (not convinced about it & already have a better options in mind), but first trying to do everything by myself or if i'm able to find someone to work on the main LOGO & animate it for the videos too.
Plus you have a life to live. A Job, Career as an IT Professional who's still learning, trying to get better from working to still studying for some more certifications & skills. With learning on how to edit using premiere pro, photoshop, the time it takes is unbelievable for all the stuff I want to do. With not gaining any subscribers even though my shorts are getting average 500 views.
It's a struggle & definitely takes a lot of time to finally start getting noticed more & more with learning the needed skills to be a good enough & then continue to learn to be better with each video of course. It's a long process & we'll have our ups & downs all the time no doubt. So it's also about consistency, time & dedication to actually keep on going or taking a small break when you feel overwhelmed to then restart again.
I get u,thats problem with "doing it for the audience" the day u start bringing the "you" in the content,they disappear. It happened to me on TikTok,had to start afresh. I'm still figuring out what I can do on RUclips.
Love it
Rob, this is very off topic but I need to know. Yesterday I was watching the Russel Howard show and at one point he was showing a video of the BBC and the guy who was doing the voice over sounded EXACTLY like you. Please let me know if you were doing voice overs for the BBC 😅🙌
😊🤫
Nice video
Wow, this video is super inspiring! I loved how you reminded us all to just start. It's easy to get caught up in making everything perfect before hitting upload, but trial and error really is the best teacher. I also appreciated the idea that finding your style takes time. It's cool to realize that our unique style comes from mixing what we’ve learned from others. And the part about opportunities really hit home; you never know when a little moment can lead to something big! Thanks for sharing your journey and these valuable lessons!
Rob is so funny 😂😂😂 07:00
Welp - as a guy not knowing my niche and not knowing my own styles (yet) this is really a big encouragement. Thanks John!
This is an ad 😂
Thanks a lot for sharing this Precious information ℹ️ 🙏
This RUclips ‘s moon to earth journey will be wonderful and informative because Gurus like You All Are around 🙏
I started my channel two years ago, and even got lucky enough to be graced by the VidIQ claw in a livestream when I was REALLY new-like, I-had-three-videos new haha. But now, two years later, I’m still incredibly small and very occasionally worried because I fear that I’ll stay unnoticed forever. This video showed me how to just relax, and do what I love to do because I love it, and maybe things will work out :) There’s nothing I’ve ever done that I love nearly as much as animating on RUclips. I’ve enjoyed it more than anything else in life, and I want to be able to animate on my channel until the day I die (exaggeration but you get the point lol). Thanks a million VidIQ, for always giving me some of the most powerful motivation and inspiration I could ever ask for. Your channel is a blessing to me, and a million other people, too!🫡😁
OMG, Im doing youtube so I can build up my portfolio and teach others what pretty much how to do my job!!! This is pretty relatable. I just started 2 days ago, hope to get monetized before June 2024!
Thanx i also quit my job as a teacher and wanna be a full time youtuve creator, just month ago I got monetized and I believe now I can i am ready, keep giving motivation for us ✊
I'm gald you found your niche man. Imagine the value this short vid would have had to you in the early days. It's that to us now. Thank you.
Hey John… 0:15 I see what you did there (cut in and cut outs) 🔥 fire video you dropped today about editing hacks. So glad you’re apart of the VidIQ team! Such an asset to an already awesome channel!
AY!!!!! You did the thing!!!!
Thank you for this video, I have been doing the RUclips thing on and off years, I get motivated and ready and put out a bunch of content and nothing happens and then I disappear again.. I've tried using everything I know from my day job as a motion designer and video editor to using bare minimum too. There's just something in the process that I'm not understanding somewhere and I can't figure out what that is either.. I think it's worth noting that doing it on your own is really difficult, especially when you're a much slower learner than others. I'd love to connect with a community of creators that are helping each other out but I can't afford getting through the month let alone have the disposable income for expert advice.. it gets hard sometimes, really really hard, to keep myself going.
Loved the video!
Incredibly Inspiring story for someone that's literally started a channel 4 days ago!
That's a great note to end tonight's session of 'how to for RUclips channel building' bender 🤩
Also loved Malcolm in the Middle 😅
Just wanted to say thank you! I just started my channel! Got a few references from just watching you video and ideas!
Ok that was amazing. Thank you and good work!
BEST VIDEO on this topic I've seen !! Is real, natural, funny ,story telling, incredible well edited and motivates!
Great video ! Thanks for this one !!
Your editing IS awesome. I noticed the editing itself is a story line of it's own. It tells the jokes you don't verbalize.
I'm watching a master here :)
Great editing, great story telling. Two thumbs up :)
👍 thank ya thank ya 👍
One question i have checked John Scott youtube channel but then with all the editing skills and catching attention presenting himself how come youtube didnt push his channel or videos to the nextlevel....... he got few sub and few views... while he spend time for editing the videos thats so unfair... even my channel now got labeled as re used content
I've just started my RUclips journey but wow... your editing for every SECOND of this video is inspiring and so creative!
I don't comment on many videos. In fact, I can't even remember clearly ever commenting on a video. But this video really connected with me. I really believe everyone's journey is unique, but many creators tell a story about their journey that rarely highlights that point. Great video!
