    Whether its RUclips, self employment, entrepreneurship, or your 9-5 job. You wont get anywhere if you don't push yourself and try to learn more and pursue self betterment. If you give up, you fail. You only fail when you give up. Keep at it, keep chasing the passion. Remember where you are now, or where you end up tomorrow. Now look back and see how much you've done already. You can chase and reach your goals.

    The best tip for me was to set my expectations accordingly. Hearing you give the stats of where these youtubers were after 100 videos made me feel so much better. I just hit 100 this year and I was feeling insecure about my growth. Time to double down on consistency and getting 1% every time!!

    I'm on my 68th video at 2.5 years and am only at 850 subs. I've been getting discouraged watching other channels in my niche get to 1K in months. Thank you for letting us know that slow growth is the rule and not the exception. Thanks a bunch!

    You have such a huge presence on Twitter that I found you on Twitter first before finding you on RUclips (not a bad thing). There are so many Creator coaches that spam their channels with fluff and try and direct you to purchasing before you can be sure they have the right information and can be trusted that I had all but given up watching. Your tweets gave me the impression you were direct and worth another shot spending time watching than learning the skills I need. My channel isn’t up yet, but it will be and you can be certain I’ll be watching your channel for the right information. Thank you, Roberto! So glad I found you.

    Thank you Roberto for the advice, I needed the extra motivation and tips I haven't implemented yet.
    One of my top goals at the moment, is getting over 1 min of watch time each video and then aiming for over 2 mins of watch time each video.
    Thanks again

    Damn dude you hit the nail on the head!
    Keep moving forward and ensure you're better than you were yesterday, so very true. Get better at creating engaging and appealing titles, thumbnails, and descriptions. Learn how to setup effective backdrops with lighting/sound design and all sorts of video editing tricks for your content. Definitely have a solid mic cause audio quality is HUGE and you can't skimp on it but definitely make continual progress in improving the quality of the content itself. Just keep pushing forward until you level up enough and gain enough traction to become effective and see the accumulation of your efforts!
    Truly appreciate this because I'm pushing full steam ahead this year!

    Definitely don't give up but create with a purpose and make sure you learn from it. I was getting aggravated even questioning why RUclips was punishing my growth when I thought my content was better quality than others in my niche and been here longer than them. I realized that I'm still growing and a young grasshopper regardless of how much I think I know. I'm just starting to see how the power level of a good thumbnail is over 9000!!! I'm still improving and bruh, I'm gonna be a monster once I get better at RUclips

    Growing a new channel is a slog! I have been trying to grow this channel for over a year now, and I am still a few months away from monetization. And I'm not a novice, because my main channel has around 30,000 subscribers. For me this channel was more of an experiment to understand the amount of time and effort it takes to start a completely new channel in a totally different niche.

    I really appreciate your honesty and straight forward approach. It was encouraging to review 3 mega RUclipsr's humble beginnings. I appreciate you mentioning how hard it is to become skilled at all the things. I really struggle with the technology and trying to do it all in addition to making content. I hired people-but it's not financially sustainable (and I wonder if I'm crazy investing this much money and time). I need to learn how to edit-gulp. I've tried a few times and find it really frustrating. I'll see if you have videos on editing. I just got monetized, but most of my content isn't eligible-so I'll be working on my music and switching gears a bit. On my way. Love your advice-very helpful. Do you ever do channel reviews?

  • @davidhunter2824
    @davidhunter2824 2 года назад +7

    You brought up some great tips. Most new youtube creators (myself included) has to realize that youtube is more of a marathon than a sprint. Getting your first 100 subscribers may take a year or two of consistent work. Also, if you work a very full time job and make youtube videos part time, then it make even longer time for your channel to grow. Passion is what makes successful youtubers. Find what you like to share with the world, be consistent, and eventually you'll become successful.

    • @RobertoBlake

    @strangewayfaringstranger 2 года назад

    I started this channel a few years back now and the one thing i've learned the most about it - you will definitely pour money into it and unless you are already someone well known, or someone with an amazing, funny and awesome personality, you won't get good results ha. For me, it just has never happened. I always figure i'm not cut out for this. I'm always tempted to just delete everything, sell everything and forget it.
    To be fair, I haven't even watched your video yet, so this comment is before I finish it and i'll come back and comment again.

  • @ikeafrica

    I agree with everything you said here. I realized that I needed everything you mentioned here when I wanted to start my channel in 2016.
    Then I discovered I want ready for it. I needed to master the skills even though I had the idea of many of the skills, but I wasn't efficient. Then I started out working as a freelance video editor, graphic designer, and creative writer.
    It opened my eye to everything you said in this video and the many videos you have been making.
    Thank you, Roberto.

And he is so right you can have more money doing almost anything else, but I love it and I am monetized as of over a year of making weekly videos, and making great content! But you have to have time and a passion for something you really love!

    @leosthrivwithautism 2 года назад +1

    Roberto I got 12 videos and 40 subscribers. To be completely honest I didn’t even expect to have 1 subscriber. I don’t want overnight success. And I don’t want to grow quick. Because I feel like my channel can die just as quick if my quality isn’t there. So I’m actually trying to slow down my momentum just a tad to keep that control. After almost 3 months since my start I had to re-evaluate myself. Because I was to focused on numbers and not my videos. I made a change to quality and applied several things I’ve learned and my channel popped from 20 to 40 subscribers and from a stagnant 1200 views to now over 5000 views on my channel. My retention is up. And the comments and feedback I’ve gotten has been extremely positive. I don’t want to go any faster than I am. One last thing. Thank you for your help and replying to me when you didn’t have too man. Almost gave up a little while ago. And it was one of your replies that helped me stay the course! 👍

    Everything Roberto says is correct. Zero social media & editing skills at 32. Now 3+ years later, my other monetized channel is growing fast, gets commented on the editing and got a head nod from multiple big creators.

We should all be willing to learn new skills that can go a long way for our contents. As a newbie myself, I am always keen to learn new skills and experiment new things to keep myself more engaged with my contents. And yes, my older videos are useless but I am still keeping them to reflect to what I have achieved. Take it easy mate and Stay Blessed 🙂

    Long-time subscriber/admirer, hi. I've been stop and go with my YT video creations for a few years now (casual for fun but would like to build a community online for my age group, 50s Plus), and it really slows me down because every single time I have to re-learn something, ha, like you said - in editing, lighting, audio. Logically, of course, I should be more consistent and do it more often, so I can build instead of going backwards and slowing myself down by relearning things. Good momentum is definitely self-encouraging, and causing my own slowing down tends to create procrastination, or at least annoyance with myself. Also, don't know if you've made a vid on this topic yet, but any words of wisdom when you're doing it all by yourself and you have no support around you? Thanks for all your great vids, Roberto. Hi from Canada!

    I really enjoy the value from your videos and have been subscribed to you for years, but you really should try not to repeat yourself 4-5 times in each video. This video could have been 5 min shorter without loosing any value..
    If I was not listening to this in the car while driving I would have clicked away along time ago.
    Look at the first half of Casey Neistats video course.
    It really nails this.
    If I get suggestions between same topic from your videos and Derral or Tim I go for their videos, not because it is more value but because I know it's more straight to the point.
