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

This video is criminally underrated! I feel like every single person, no matter where they are on their TH-cam journey, should watch this video!! Thank you Rob for opening up and sharing not only your knowledge but the struggles you faced. :)
THANK YOU for this video. We have been doing this for 18 months and just started to feel so down about our slow growth. We got into the trap of seeing other creators in a similar niche grow SO quickly and just beating ourselves up for being not good enough, not likeable enough, not young enough, not beautiful enough, not talented enough... whatever negative thing we could think of! Today, I really felt like we are just wasting our time. But I've watched this and it genuinely has made me feel so much better about everything. Growth is still growth. We will get there, and we will damn well have fun while we work at it!
I have absolutely thought about quitting TH-cam SO many times. I can only hear from my audience "You deserve more subs!" and not getting them, or hearing TH-cam advice channels go "Just make better content! JUST BE BETTER!" It's disheartening and exhausting, but I've continued to push and learn and grow, and just yesterday I had me best day for views EVER :D
Im happy to see creators improve sooooo hard...when I see them have like 100 subs and get like to 12k to 50k subs in like a week Im happy for them but at the same time I pity myself....they just grow so fast and its like a slap in the face...."youre not good" "the algorithm hates you" "your content just sucks man"....sometimes I even get negative thoughts uploading any contents to my channel having the mindset that its useless..."no ones gonna watch it anyways"....sometimes I even delete my videos because I get embarassed but Im not that person now...........thank you for the video!! this channel is always an inspiration......theres still hope if they can do it you can do it too...
I will never quite... I just took a mental break but am back. Guess what happened in the 1 month I didn't post? I got 10+ new subs from 1 video that's going viral. That only happened in the last 5 days. What a reward🎉
Damn inspiring, i always look for motivation and feel disheartened that people do it within a year somehow and im nowhere near whilst approaching a year!
Rob.. the best thing about you is not the way you give youtube tips and tricks. Although you give that better than a lot of creators but you seem to genuinely help people with different perspectives you share. Thanks for that always.

@@WessexBladesHandMadeKnives hi there! Thanks for your quick reply 🥰 Currently I’m using Adobe Premier Rush to edit my videos. One problem I found after implementing B Rolls into my videos is that I don’t have enough B Rolls to last the whole video. Most of my videos are between 4-5 minutes
Thanks Rob for this, on my channel I do look at 'the competition' and do the naughty thing and compare my views to similar videos on those channels. Also I have watched my views drop down at certian months and get really scared that my channel is going to die. This is video was a booster to keep going! Many thanks again!
My mind is blown because... last night was my first time in 9 months (since I started TH-cam) when I started questioning my journey. Then I see and watch this video when I woke up this morning. Like a lot of others out there, I put a lot of hard work, hours and pride into my content and that sometimes results with exhaustion. Mentally and physically. I think that is what’s happening. It’s sometimes difficult to balance out life with something you’re so passionate and invested in. The message you just delivered was a needed reminder that taking mental breaks is completely ok. Thank you.
I've been there so many time over the past year. I just say one more then one more until it passes. Trust your people will find you. That's what I keep saying.
Thank you for your encouragement! I have had my channel since 2014 but was not sure what to do. It has now been about 18 months since I started applying myself and am closing in on my first 1000 subs - (641). The interesting thing is that I have over 10,000 watch time hours. WTF? Yes, I get discouraged sometimes, but when I look back, I see growth and have had a few spikes. I just keep holding on, posting and waiting for the algorithm to create momentum. I have learned so much on the journey and can see why some people quit early on. There is a huge learning curve, learning audio and video simultaneously is a big task, but so worth it! If I take away anything from my experience so far, it's how much I have learned and how much my work has grown. At this point quitting is NOT an option. Thank you for your wonderful videos! You have given me and so many other new creators encouragement to continue and reminding us that TH-cam is a marathon and not a race. Blessings to you and thank you again!! 💖✨
It took me a year to get my first 1,000 views. I've gained another 15,000 views in the last six months. I thought I was growing too slowly, but it seems that all of the successful TH-camrs started out slowly until something just suddenly clicked. I wasn't planning on quitting, but now more than ever, I plan to push ahead. It's very inspiring to learn that the big TH-camrs were once small too, but they succeeded. The old saying, "quitters never win and winners never quit," seems to hold true. Thanks for this great inspirational video!
I have no intention of quitting any time soon - I'm in this for the next several years (or more). But even with that in mind, I'm still inspired by this video. Thank you VidIQ! :)
I love my youtube. It's just like you said, It's given me a voice, and that in it's self is a great reward. I'm 60 and remember a time when the all of us lived without any reach unless you spent thousands. I pinch myself when someone comments or likes or subscribes to my channel. Thanks for all you do, I always watch and enjoy the info and help.........
This 3 year old video just popped up on my feed. It`s just what I needed right now. I love doing what I do, but it`s got it`s ups and downs. Cheers Rob.
I got inspired by their video showing the analytics videos. my channel is only around 600 but when I see the returning views around 350-400 a day and new view at around 250 a day and he says that means you beat the algorythm makes me feel inspired, id love to see them cover my analytics as my purple bar has been higher for months
I needed this! Thank you! Been at this since May 2021 so when I hear success stories of people making it after a decade it helps me to put things in perspective because I’m comparing my journey to people who’ve gone viral as opposed to realizing that this a is a long haul thing! Cheers
I almost gave up on TH-cam last summer (in 2020), BUT then I got motivated again and now, I just posted two music pieces and gained over 23 subs, and I am very thankful for that!
I have no reason to quit, I've just started my TH-cam journey. I'm sure that the flow will change directions from time to time and I'll follow it to where I'm meant to be. Thanks to your channel, I've been able to improve my own channel very quickly. Faster than if I did this on my own. I appreciate the effort you all put into it and thank you for all your hard work!
@@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478 Oh that's for sure. I've adopted that frame of mind very quickly, that it's a marathon. It's gonna take time and effort to grow while also learning to move with the flow and don't get stuck in one frame of reference.
After months , years of procrastinating, I finally uploaded my first 2 videos ever! I’m soo happy to be almost to 50 subscribers ... thank you for the video , lots of great information as always and motivation as well . I appreciate you 💪🏻💪🏻
Wow! I really needed this!! (The timing is incredible). Thank you so much for sharing your story! I’ve been on TH-cam for two years now, and it is incredibly hard. I have a very small fan base right now, that we crafters all share. It is hard not to look at the other successful ones and think what I can do to get where they are. You are amazing (12 years is incredible!!) and I’m very thankful for you!
You are always so helpful Mr. Rob. Been watching your videos before I even started my own. I also did a lot of mistakes in my first attempt. But with your help, I am confident that I am in the right track on this one. Thank you so much.
TH-cam is sooo hard as a new creator! It’s definitely easy to get down on yourself and want to give up. There’s just so much to learn. This video came up next on my feed at the perfect time!Please send some positive energy my way!!!
This was Beautiful !!! This Showed Your Inspiration And Passion For What You Do. I Mean You Hit All Of Us In A Far More Personal Level Than I Ever Saw Anyone Do It 😁👌👍.
this is the summarised of my journey, excellent dear ...TH-cam has taught me how to trust myself find that confidence . my loyal every supporting audience has made me realised I know how to teach and talk. the platform that has changed not only my life but its and It will keep changing many people's life . thank you for this wonderful video
Thanks for that - I never felt like quitting because I really enjoy making the videos, but taking a break every now and then is good advice, when you return, TH-cam will still be there and so will our channel
I definitely needed this. I was on the verge of quitting TH-cam due to the past toxicity that I've dealt with and feeling like my content didn't matter anymore. Thank you.
This is a very helpful video. The part about communicating what you're most passionate about and attracting people who share that passion resonated the most with me.
Indeed impacting so many lives in a positive way is very heartwarming, When you have that feeling sink in it's phenomenal, Saying that the life as a creator is not easy, some people still think it is just presenting random info out of internet while it is much more than that, you have to sometimes work so hard that it starts impacting family life as well, but I totally love being a creator, no doubt about that... 🙂
There have been so many times where I thought TH-cam wasn't for me...but I kept coming back! Finally gaining traction now, and I'm so happy I never quit. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon! Thanks Rob!
Thx for sharing your story! Been making 60 videos for the last 2 months and can’t even notice a single thing. Hardly coming over 20 views. But my believe is strong! Hope you all will have the persistence to stay focused!
TH-cam has been so good for my mental health this winter. It's been great to have videos to plan for and to think about. This sounds cheesy af, but it's sort of given me my future back
Thank you for this one. Just six months in and already feeling unsuccessful at this endeavor. I appreciate the perspective that this is a long journey and we're improving with ever video. I won't be quitting today, thank you!
I’ve been going for almost two years now haven’t got any new subscribers for about 3 months, I’ve been question whether or not I continue but this video has helped me
I may be a TH-camr with only 100 subs but this is my advice. Remember whatever you believe you can achieve and if you ever lose belief believe in yourself always remember that.
So true Rob, I thought about quitting TH-cam but decided to hang in there. My channel is growing slowly but surely, I have over 900 subscribers so far so my milestone is to hit that 1000 subscriber mark. It's not easy to date, I have uploaded 1,362 videos so far and are still producing more. This is my dream and passion; I love creating videos and sharing them with the world. I hope the people out who are thinking of quitting don't stick with it and keep putting out good content videos. Thanks, Rob for sharing this with us. Rich
8 Years and I barely went up to 200 subs then started going down. One day I looked in the mirror and told myself to take my videos and channel more serious and BAM within a month I was up 120 subs. Now I'm sitting at 892 and growing everyday!
Thank you so much for this. Working many hours, days and even weeks to make a video and not getting views can be very frustrating and discouraging. Thank you for encouraging us to keep on improving and pursuing our passion.
Coming up to nearly a year on TH-cam! It is hard in the early stages learning about TH-cam and mastering your craft. Had several times when I wanted to quit but thanks to creators like you who helps to motivate us on this journey.
This is just what I needed. That was some real talk. Actually had to save this video for when those feeling down times comes I can watch this again and feel what I felt first watching this. Thank you.
My idols on TH-cam are Viva la Dirt League. They got their first 100,000 subscribers after 8 years ... Damn it 8 years, it's incredible how much time and effort was spent, but now they have millions of subscribers, so I will not stop. My channel was created in 2012, but due to life's problems (there was no high-speed Internet ... yes, Russia is a country of madness and horror), videos began to download only in 2020 ... I was only a viewer for 8 years. Now, after a little over six months, 845 subscribers, but this is just the beginning ...
I have taken breaks from time to time as I felt a burnout while creating content. I have considered quitting, yet as I rewatch some of my videos I have created, I know my potential to create even better content hasn't been fully reached yet. The learning curve of TH-cam is a steep one, and I guess it is a question of how much passion a person has for creating content and, more importantly, being patient. Slow and small gains are still growth for a channel. This video popped up in my feed for a reason. Thank you, Rob, and the VidIQ team for encouraging every content creater to unlock their potential and create amazing videos.
But you know what? I found TH-cam during COVID19 lockdown here in the Philippines. I started the channel on June 9, 2020. TH-cam saved me from the ultimate punishment of "being locked down". I realized now, why should I leave something that essentially helped me in the first place.
To anyone thinking about quitting TH-cam don’t. I know it can be hard but you should never give up on something your really want. It’s difficult to wait, but more difficult to regret. Keep fighting✊
A lot of truth there. I been making treasure hunting videos for about a year now and the treasure hunting community has been stating to respond. Every time I put out a video I get a subscriber or two and that's good with me. I love it to much to even think about giving up 👍🤠👍
Funny thing. I’ve been (video taping) for 20 plus yrs now. Back in the 8mm era. Remember that!! Always had a passion for it. TH-cam has given me a place to share it. For that I am great full and plan on growing with the community. Thanks for you’re videos my friend. You’re awesome.
Hi Rob, it is good to have this kind of critical reflection sometimes. I have been only three months on this journey and during this short period of times, I feel that I am doing something good for others. I started with the idea of sharing some knowledge with others, and honestly it feels great. I don't know if it will work for me as a way to generate some incomes, but what I know is that I am enjoying it. Thank you for sharing and producing your videos.
I woke up today feeling sucker punched by the algorithm and wanting to quit after a year of making videos. What stopped me was when you said it took you 8 years as well as the other YTer you mentioned. Too often do I hear "I grew my channel to 2k subs in one year!" so its good to hear some honest timelines. Thank you.
This is just what i wanted, I wanted to quit today, LITERALLY TODAY, I just came to say goodbye to my channel when i got this notification, THANK YOU VIDIQ
I'm just seeing this. This video was perfect for me Rob. I said that because I have thought about it because I'm getting subscribers that fast but then again my subs count has went up since I've started putting consistent content out 4 months ago. I feel like the subscribers count is going slow & will take forever and the watch hours will come quicker which is even a bigger task (4K watch hours) I wish you had to get 1 or the other to get monetized tbh. I will not quit but sometimes I do look at other channels and say how they get their numbers so easy in a hour. I know because I'm not known, I'm new to YT, & gotta make content that people wanna watch
It took me 8 years to get to 30k subs. Then just 6 months to get to 1 million. Stay dedicated!!!!!!!
Wow am on the verge of quitting my gaming channel. It’s almost at 5k subs but views are low 🥲
Wow that is actually so inspiring
@@DailyOrah honestly your lucky to have 5k
You only make shots??
Most likely because you found something that would work due to many years of testing. Nice work!
The first 2 years I uploaded every single day and had less than 100 subscribers. It is crazy how much time it takes but the journey is worth it.
Wow. Inspirational. That’s a lot of uploads!
It's nice hearing. astory like that. It seems like such a worthless pursuit when nobody watches

Woooooooooooow!
I will be happy to have 100k 😊👍
Awwww Omar, thank you bro, i have been watching your videos always , thanks for the Morale.....❤❤❤❤
I'm so surprised (and utterly humbled) at so many big channels adding their own comments to this video. Thanks :)

TH-cam isn't a website, it's a community, and you will always be a part of that.

I am so depressed since last month, but after watching this I m going to restart.
Very Positive Video thank you so much, Rob
I love you dude❤️❤️❤️
I needed this! Thank you! Been at this since May 2021 so when I hear success stories of people making it after a decade it helps me to put things in perspective because I’m comparing my journey to people who’ve gone viral as opposed to realizing that this a is a long haul thing! Cheers
I needed this! Every time I feel like I get ahead I take 5 steps backward. I am going to keep going though because I love it.
I almost gave up on TH-cam last summer (in 2020), BUT then I got motivated again and now, I just posted two music pieces and gained over 23 subs, and I am very thankful for that!
Welcome back!
@@vidIQ thx!
I'm a fairly new TH-camr, and I was really considering quitting until I watched this video. Thanks for this.
I have no reason to quit, I've just started my TH-cam journey. I'm sure that the flow will change directions from time to time and I'll follow it to where I'm meant to be.
Thanks to your channel, I've been able to improve my own channel very quickly. Faster than if I did this on my own. I appreciate the effort you all put into it and thank you for all your hard work!
Enjoy the journey mate, never forget its a marathon not a sprint 😉
@@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478 Oh that's for sure. I've adopted that frame of mind very quickly, that it's a marathon. It's gonna take time and effort to grow while also learning to move with the flow and don't get stuck in one frame of reference.
Good for you, some people have been at it for 10 years
After months , years of procrastinating, I finally uploaded my first 2 videos ever! I’m soo happy to be almost to 50 subscribers ... thank you for the video , lots of great information as always and motivation as well . I appreciate you 💪🏻💪🏻
Yep, I've considered quitting at LEAST...10-15 times.
Glad you're still here 🙌
@@vidIQ Thanks, VidIQ. Glad you guys are still here as well. Lotta useful info on this channel, for sure.
Same here
There's no destination, it is always the journey that matters. Thank you for this and I support all youtubers in this community.
Wow! I really needed this!! (The timing is incredible). Thank you so much for sharing your story! I’ve been on TH-cam for two years now, and it is incredibly hard. I have a very small fan base right now, that we crafters all share. It is hard not to look at the other successful ones and think what I can do to get where they are. You are amazing (12 years is incredible!!) and I’m very thankful for you!
You are always so helpful Mr. Rob. Been watching your videos before I even started my own. I also did a lot of mistakes in my first attempt. But with your help, I am confident that I am in the right track on this one. Thank you so much.
I can’t believe that Rob was a teacher, I wonder how it could be, must’ve be really exciting! XD
TH-cam is sooo hard as a new creator! It’s definitely easy to get down on yourself and want to give up. There’s just so much to learn. This video came up next on my feed at the perfect time!Please send some positive energy my way!!!
This was Beautiful !!! This Showed Your Inspiration And Passion For What You Do. I Mean You Hit All Of Us In A Far More Personal Level Than I Ever Saw Anyone Do It 😁👌👍.
Rob is my favorite speaker for many reasons. But his honesty is the biggest.
this is the summarised of my journey, excellent dear ...TH-cam has taught me how to trust myself find that confidence . my loyal every supporting audience has made me realised I know how to teach and talk. the platform that has changed not only my life but its and It will keep changing many people's life . thank you for this wonderful video
thank you for your support😊👍
Thanks for that - I never felt like quitting because I really enjoy making the videos, but taking a break every now and then is good advice, when you return, TH-cam will still be there and so will our channel
I love how I can hear the passion for us in your voice. Keep creating, Rob! 👍
I subbed u cuz I like roblox
@@craigier7616 :)
While not one of your most viewed videos, I can guarantee it's one of the most impactful; certainly for me. Thanks.
It is really hard... I also started to feel a little bit like quitting but I really like editing videos, even though I still got A LOT to learn.
But you get a little better at it each time. Right? That's all good stuff.
@@JoesPhenomenal Yeah, that's absolutely true!
Wow. Thank you for this! It’s easy to beat yourself up if you aren’t growing. Thanks for reminding us success could be right around the corner.
this channel really deserves 1M asap
for real🙌
Could the people here help me hit 400 I'm 8 away
I definitely needed this. I was on the verge of quitting TH-cam due to the past toxicity that I've dealt with and feeling like my content didn't matter anymore. Thank you.
I will never quit. Many people in the graveyard took their dreams with them.
This is a very helpful video. The part about communicating what you're most passionate about and attracting people who share that passion resonated the most with me.
Indeed impacting so many lives in a positive way is very heartwarming, When you have that feeling sink in it's phenomenal, Saying that the life as a creator is not easy, some people still think it is just presenting random info out of internet while it is much more than that, you have to sometimes work so hard that it starts impacting family life as well, but I totally love being a creator, no doubt about that... 🙂
Congrats on 1 million!
No quitting! I was editing a short while listening. Good message Rob!
My anxiety rises everytime you say "quit TH-cam" and that is because I could not even imagine doing such a thing.
There have been so many times where I thought TH-cam wasn't for me...but I kept coming back! Finally gaining traction now, and I'm so happy I never quit. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon! Thanks Rob!
Thanks for motivating me, Rob❤️
Thx for sharing your story! Been making 60 videos for the last 2 months and can’t even notice a single thing. Hardly coming over 20 views. But my believe is strong! Hope you all will have the persistence to stay focused!
TH-cam has been so good for my mental health this winter. It's been great to have videos to plan for and to think about. This sounds cheesy af, but it's sort of given me my future back
Thank you for this one. Just six months in and already feeling unsuccessful at this endeavor. I appreciate the perspective that this is a long journey and we're improving with ever video. I won't be quitting today, thank you!
I love being a youtuber I would never quit.Have a good day people and you should never quit anything that you look.
Tbh some of their TH-cam channels are just not entertaining either because of lazy editing or because they always only show one thing.
I’ve been going for almost two years now haven’t got any new subscribers for about 3 months, I’ve been question whether or not I continue but this video has helped me
Much needed words! Makes this youtube thing a lot less lonely having people like you Rob thank you!
indeed
Rob this is hands down the best pep talk EVER!! 🙏🔥You not only teach me YT basics but also inspire me every time. Thank you for being YOU! 🙏
I’ve been loosing a lot of subscribers lately and feeling depressed but you inspired me❤️✌🏼
You've got this. Don't sweat the short term stuff. Focus on the long game which has brought you nearly 2k subscribers.
@@vidIQ ok! Thanks so much VidIQ I really appreciate you replying!! I’ll keep doing my best and keep pursuing. 🙂
I may be a TH-camr with only 100 subs but this is my advice. Remember whatever you believe you can achieve and if you ever lose belief believe in yourself always remember that.
Super inspired by this! Facts and great perspectives! Blessing to everyone on their TH-cam journeys! Move forward! 💯✔️🔥
The one thing I can guarantee you is that I am NOT quitting. Thanks for the great words...I am calling you Pastor Rob from now on.
I think this is something I needed because I considered quitting a few days ago now getting much views but then i decided that I'll keep going 🌠
Hey just keep going my friend
@@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478 Thanks I definitely will
We can do this
So true Rob, I thought about quitting TH-cam but decided to hang in there. My channel is growing slowly but surely, I have over 900 subscribers so far so my milestone is to hit that 1000 subscriber mark. It's not easy to date, I have uploaded 1,362 videos so far and are still producing more. This is my dream and passion; I love creating videos and sharing them with the world. I hope the people out who are thinking of quitting don't stick with it and keep putting out good content videos.
Thanks, Rob for sharing this with us.
Rich
8 Years and I barely went up to 200 subs then started going down. One day I looked in the mirror and told myself to take my videos and channel more serious and BAM within a month I was up 120 subs. Now I'm sitting at 892 and growing everyday!
1k subs here we come!
Thank you so much for this. Working many hours, days and even weeks to make a video and not getting views can be very frustrating and discouraging. Thank you for encouraging us to keep on improving and pursuing our passion.
When you start looking at numbers the fun will disappear. Just have fun making videos.
Coming up to nearly a year on TH-cam! It is hard in the early stages learning about TH-cam and mastering your craft. Had several times when I wanted to quit but thanks to creators like you who helps to motivate us on this journey.
Thank you for covering this very important topic!! ❤️
This is just what I needed. That was some real talk. Actually had to save this video for when those feeling down times comes I can watch this again and feel what I felt first watching this. Thank you.
My idols on TH-cam are Viva la Dirt League. They got their first 100,000 subscribers after 8 years ... Damn it 8 years, it's incredible how much time and effort was spent, but now they have millions of subscribers, so I will not stop.
My channel was created in 2012, but due to life's problems (there was no high-speed Internet ... yes, Russia is a country of madness and horror), videos began to download only in 2020 ... I was only a viewer for 8 years.
Now, after a little over six months, 845 subscribers, but this is just the beginning ...
I have taken breaks from time to time as I felt a burnout while creating content. I have considered quitting, yet as I rewatch some of my videos I have created, I know my potential to create even better content hasn't been fully reached yet. The learning curve of TH-cam is a steep one, and I guess it is a question of how much passion a person has for creating content and, more importantly, being patient. Slow and small gains are still growth for a channel. This video popped up in my feed for a reason. Thank you, Rob, and the VidIQ team for encouraging every content creater to unlock their potential and create amazing videos.
Thank you for the motivation it's not only about youtube success but also a message of life success keep it up 😉
Thank you for this video. Been trying to make videos for almost three years and yet to see any success 😁. Will keep working on it ☺
But you know what? I found TH-cam during COVID19 lockdown here in the Philippines. I started the channel on June 9, 2020. TH-cam saved me from the ultimate punishment of "being locked down". I realized now, why should I leave something that essentially helped me in the first place.
Exactly same as the case with me! I started out in April as soon as schools were closed.
Wishing you all the success 🙌🙏
Great video Rob! i am only 5 months into my TH-cam journey and still loving the process, very important to remember when to take a break tho!
To anyone thinking about quitting TH-cam don’t. I know it can be hard but you should never give up on something your really want. It’s difficult to wait, but more difficult to regret. Keep fighting✊
Your comment is just something I need 🙂💜✨
Yes yes 🙌
Could the people here help me hit 400 I'm 8 away
Thanks for the vid. It’s definitely crossed my mind during this journey. I watched til the end and enjoyed it.
A lot of truth there.
I been making treasure hunting videos for about a year now and the treasure hunting community has been stating to respond.
Every time I put out a video I get a subscriber or two and that's good with me. I love it to much to even think about giving up 👍🤠👍
❤❤❤❤❤
Funny thing. I’ve been (video taping) for 20 plus yrs now. Back in the 8mm era. Remember that!! Always had a passion for it. TH-cam has given me a place to share it. For that I am great full and plan on growing with the community. Thanks for you’re videos my friend. You’re awesome.
Hi Rob, it is good to have this kind of critical reflection sometimes. I have been only three months on this journey and during this short period of times, I feel that I am doing something good for others. I started with the idea of sharing some knowledge with others, and honestly it feels great. I don't know if it will work for me as a way to generate some incomes, but what I know is that I am enjoying it. Thank you for sharing and producing your videos.
Same here, I just enjoy sharing and making videos that benefit others 🤗 , more than getting monetized
I woke up today feeling sucker punched by the algorithm and wanting to quit after a year of making videos. What stopped me was when you said it took you 8 years as well as the other YTer you mentioned. Too often do I hear "I grew my channel to 2k subs in one year!" so its good to hear some honest timelines. Thank you.
This is just what i wanted, I wanted to quit today, LITERALLY TODAY, I just came to say goodbye to my channel when i got this notification, THANK YOU VIDIQ
I'm just seeing this. This video was perfect for me Rob. I said that because I have thought about it because I'm getting subscribers that fast but then again my subs count has went up since I've started putting consistent content out 4 months ago. I feel like the subscribers count is going slow & will take forever and the watch hours will come quicker which is even a bigger task (4K watch hours) I wish you had to get 1 or the other to get monetized tbh. I will not quit but sometimes I do look at other channels and say how they get their numbers so easy in a hour. I know because I'm not known, I'm new to YT, & gotta make content that people wanna watch
