Eyyy love your videos man
Hey
luv ur vids
Arun♥
One of the most favorite TH-camrs of mine
As a TH-camr with 2 channel that have over 100k subscribers, I can second everything Ali said in this video. Making videos is the only way to get better at making videos. Just start.
98 likes and no reply? imma change that
Thanks that’s encouraging 🙏
❤️ I’m almost at 50 subscribers! I’m just gonna keep on uploading what I enjoy
I made 52 video and more, I love 💕 it
How do you keep finding ideas for videos?
“Use your unfair advantages” is really opening things up for me. It changed the game from “How can I develop the best skills for TH-cam?” (which can be daunting) to “How can I use the skills I have to make TH-cam videos that only I can make?” … though to be fair, I probably still need to brush up on my TH-cam skills.
"Don't complain until you have at least 50 videos".
That is the most assuring thing I heard in this video. Thanks!
Same! I was starting to feel discouraged this week...that was a good reality check. I'm not even halfway there lol
@@TheIntenseMD lol. Good luck.
@@zreplaysguides I upload a video daily, I am afraid to not get any results after my 100th videos hahah, I will get this amount very soon.
@@curiousguy4648 yes that ws assuring
Such a great point here! Only a handful of videos in. I'll keep pushing.
Calling all new youtubers!!!! We got this💪💥 we're all in this TOGETHER!
YES WE AREE
Yes we are..
Amen
Agreed love! We got this!!
Yess!
Hey Ali, thank you for making this video.... So proud to say I overcame my fear, I did it. And if someone is reading this.....do what you want to do my friend because failure is far better than regret.🎯❤
Great job!
Maybe failure is simply not taking action on one's dreams
How you going bro?
I was afraid to make my first video too. Not even caring what my family and friends thought so much but what complete strangers would say. I was thinking the ridicule would be unbearable. But he's right, nobody cares! And it was great lol. Now I've just passed 100 subscribers and the community that's popping up around my content seems really passionate about my niche and I look forward to their interactions. I think that's a benefit I wasn't expecting and have never heard anybody talk about.
Wish you all the best ❤
I love how realistic you are in this video. Something I have not heard anyone else talk about is to use “your personal advantages”. Everyone has one, and if we learn how to use our gifts, we can help more people.
After over 100k subscribers, I still find all of these really helpful 🙌
Wow
Nice flex?

@@AbhinavSINGH.1 seedha plug? Fake comment bhi nahi Mara. Wah, bro.
omg, 100k, I am still at 1700, but I won't quit
No one cares! So true! Even when I've told some co-workers, friends or family members that I have a YT channel, they don't even watch. LOL. It's the complete strangers who watch and find value in the videos.
Very trueee !!
I share that sentiment Lisa! Happened to me also. -_-
@@sonicpodium It's amazing how little people (who know you personally) care. I do think my mother watches, though. (That's what moms are for) At any rate, I got enough views and subscribers to get monetized within 7 months of my first upload! The main thing is that we have to get over the fear of judgment or embarrassment or whatever. I'm glad I started doing TH-cam because people tell me all the time that the information is helpful.
I always say this sooooooooooooooo true
I agree, I have to keep uploading and figuring out ways for my friendtubers to keep coming back

Always grateful for this. Well done.
You do not have to be perfect to start, but you have to start to be perfect.
Watched this video and took the leap. I am an absolute beginner. Made my first video. The learning curve will be steep, but I had to start somewhere. Thank you for the courage to get started. TH-cam, here I come🚀
i am already at 59 of age and because of the pandemic i started vlogging and found it so relaxing and stress free of the corona virus,now after 4 1/2 months i already have 50+ videos and 1124 subscribers ,im not yet monetize because my watch hours was not yet ok but im happy that i started it now💗
That's amazing! It's really inpiring.
That's awesome.. I'm 51 and just started mine.. wish me luck! And congrats to you!
@@psalerno69 yes,age doesn't matter in pursuing a dream,as long as we're happy we can do it ,thank you ,goodluck to ur channel and god bless❤
@@LarissaVeloso-Planttubber thank you so much❤
4 1/2 months to 1124 that's awesome! Uploaded my 1st video Sep 2019 but started to get serious about 5 months ago and doing one video a week. Going to go for 2 a week now. Hopefully, my subs will pick up 😀
Calling all new TH-camrs!! We got this!! 💪🏻✨ we are all in this together!
👏🏽💯
We need to keep moving forward. One day we have 10 views, the following day 500. Just keep going. Wishing everyone starting a TH-cam channel good luck. Have a wonderful day ❤️
Excellent point
Yo
lets go!!
I live in a country where getting paid an equivalent of 5 dollars for a full day's work (6am-8pm) is very normal, most people earn this or less and only a few make more but you need 'big connections'
This is regardless of your level of education.
That being said, I got motivated to get into TH-cam so that in the long term, I will be able to have a flexible schedule to enjoy life as I earn a fair amount of money. Guys, all the best in your journey, it only gets better❤️
Thank you I feel motivated now
I started my Art TH-cam channel 4 months ago and I was not seeing any numbers but now I know what I have to do❤
Hello! I started my first TH-cam channel three days ago, "AM INSPIRATIONS AND AFFIRMATIONS"! I am so excited to have finally gotten started. Thank you for this information and yes, I did do it!
I did it Ali! I literally took up my phone while having a walk today, recorded and posted on the spot. As a perfectionist, I feel a lot of discomfort atm, but I just had to do it that way, otherwise I’d have kept procrastinating this for years!
That’s awesome!
That's what's up keep going 1000%
ATM?

This is our year - to all my fellow small youtubers out here
Do you have any videos or other tips on yoir channel of exercises or other tips to grow taller especially longet legs?
Amen thanks
Yes Sir I Hope We All Grow By The End Of This year
Let's do it 💪
I hope so!
I love the advice about not complaining if you don't have over 150 videos. Pushing forward, and just doing it. Love it 😌 very humbling
I just started my TH-cam channel and made my first 4 videos. I have exactly the same thoughts you mentioned in your video. Afraid of people’s judgement, I’m not good enough, looking at the numbers which demotivates me, beating myself up for not making better quality videos etc.. what you said make sense and thank you for your tips.
Ali: Starting this TH-cam channel is the single best thing I've done in my life
His mom: being a doctor was the best thing you've done on your life 😒
in* your life
Oh my god his voice is calming. His vibe is calming.
I'll come to this channel whenever I stumble accross any loud "HEY GUYS WeLCome BACK TO MY CHANNEL " video.
Hi Ali! Thanks for making this video! This helped me overcome my fear of youtube, and I just published my first video. It feels amazing and I feel like I'm ready to start my youtube journey.
Nice congrats 🥳
Ali is one of the few that produce content of this helpful style that seem genuine and transparent, I definitely feel the most important part is to just do it and just start and a lot of these tips I find myself following even for a completely different niche (I cover boxing on my channel) and have been doing so for the last 7 months, have seen consistent and organic growth so for anyone reading till here, you CAN do it if you choose to and follow the steps spread out in this. 1 year old vid but still very much applies.
I'm still getting over the anxiety of posting but what has been helping me post my thoughtful but shaky low-quality videos is remembering "somebody out there needs to/wants to hear what you have to say". Thank you for the tips!
I just checked out one of your songs. Your voice is AMAZING.
@@Scentofrain. thank you so much suzette! I really appreciate that !
Inspiring, Keep it up!!
I too had a lot of anxiety until watching Ali's video. Wow, learning to just enjoy the process and relax. Keep going Savannah 😀
I actually saw this comment before posting and it helped me push the button. Thanks for the inspiring words ❤
TH-cam is by far the best thing I have started and I don’t even care if people watch the videos I just enjoy the process :)
this right here ^^^^, just the feeling of pressing upload feels so rewarding
Mate, be proud of yourself that you started your channel so early! When I was your age I procrastinated 24/7.
@@blackpeppa90 thank you!! I really use it as means to motivate myself for work/ life in general
Same here. You are way more relaxed if you don't care and watch your numbers less, speaking from experience :D
I couldn't agree more!
As a new gaming TH-camr, I fell into the niche part and really not knowing how to talk through gameplay. I felt like giving up and haven't really tried editing a video I've recently taken but after seeing this... I just gotta keep goin and not get down on myself like that. Appreciate your content and tips Ali, this one hit the spot.
The kick in the butt I needed to start posting. Thank you for making this video. I'm enjoying making videos so much now and since I won't complain until at least 50 videos, I feel like I can enjoy the process even more. Some people are teasing me about my channel but I am just proud I started it and excited to see how far I can take it. thank you Ali 😊
I'm a TH-cam beginner. Your words are just damn true as how I'm feeling right now
I am a TH-cam beginner as well. The struggle is real for me. Good luck to you and your channel. 🙂
Happy for you sir all the best ❤
Same!!! Let's all do our best and enjoy this journey 💖
Got a lots tips than watching 1 hr + video content. He's just so honest and staright to the point.
Thanks, Ali, for that final push. I did it. I just took out my phone and recorded my very first video. And although it was awkward, since I didn't edit anything and just uploaded it, it does feel like a step in the right direction although it still feels a bit weird.
But it will be fun to see where I'll be at in 1 year from now. Also just received your 2nd email from the 7-day email course.
Have a great day and thank you again for sharing these tips.
Amazing how many people you've inspired to start their channels.
Thank you so much Ali! I started my channel last year and then stopped for a while. However I find myself coming to your videos for motivation! Your communication is so efficient and you offer such valuable information.
I believe whatever your content is about. It must be at least in one these: Entertain people, educate people or inspire people.
Whatever the content be, it should be around problem-solving.
Totally agree!
Indeed, the best channels seem to accomplish all 3 (i.e. Mark Rober).
You said it! We should all strive to make someone’s day better in some way!
So true
How can entertaining solve problems?
"the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The second best time is now."
I gained so much from this sentence only .
Thanks a lot Ali!
Best ad experience, glad to give you Ad views because Outlander trailer and an ad for my employer!
Pottery class analogy resonated with me because pottery this actually happened to me in sculpture class (yeah both involve clay), we were divided into quantity projects vs 1 project, and I chose to do quantity to spend more time on developing skills and my professor was impressed with my work towards the end and I got an A. Also it was more fun to do more projects.
I am working on my first video and yes, sculpture is a primary component 😉 I definitely believe your advice.
...beautiful articulation and promotion Ali! You are inspiring! Got started "for real" this past couple months, and everything you said is on point. TY.💥
The only channel I've encountered so far that puts less pressure on starting a youtube channel, especially finding your own niche 😊👌 thank you
Yes agreed! Everybody is talking about niching down, while they didn't even know what niche is when they started :D People basically find a label to whatever videos they made and call it a niche.
Yes. It can be so overwhelming with the whole niche thing.
th-cam.com/channels/nXQ9fjo8tamwLJBMB0UdhQ.html
I know right!
The niche thing had me stressing out cause I'm into a lot of topics! I'm glad Ali took the pressure off of that, whew!
What people will think if I start a TH-cam channel. One of my worst fear. Nobody cares. It's true. I started my channel and working on it. 37 videos uploaded 17 lives and going to upload 2 videos every week for 2 years.
Thank you, Ali. You are my mentor.
I am soooo appreciative of this video as a relatively new creator! Staying consistent has been my biggest struggle but currently using some downtime in dental school to pre-plan content and start posting twice a week
This has to have been the most helpful and non bs video on starting TH-cam. So many people tell you to focus on your niche at the start which then delays the process of actually STARTING. I started a few months ago and just started vlogging my life and experiences as a Brit on the Centarl Coast of California and I'll see where it goes from there. Thanks again, mate.
People are actually *way more supportive* than I thought they would be! ^ω^
Same! I was surprised who excited everyone in my life was/continues to be!
Yep! We are all human :)
Okay, but I love how in a lot of advice videos about "how to get started", "how to do this, how to do that" The layman's term for what they all say is #1: Fuck it. Just do it. #2: Be consistent and patient. #3: Work hard.
So effit. Here goes, Ali. th-cam.com/video/LxPhuTElee0/w-d-xo.html
I agree, good luck - just subscribed to your channel. I’m going to do the same effit!
@@GavinJGallagher Thank you! Yes. Dude. What do we have to lose?
I’ve been working pretty hard on my channel this year but haven’t seen much growth yet. Having a long term vision and patience is definitely a good point! Thanks for the great tips
What i love about this video the most are, your positive attitude and the fact that these are very general tips which apply to all the new channels, regardless of their content. thank you so much for this. love it.
It's actually true, once you publish your first video, the fear load goes away.
Yes 💯! I felt great after I posted my first video 😂
I’m still embarrassed tho 😆😆😅
Yes yes this one is true 💯
@Melandgood subbed love…will be watching your videos
Ali-I just discovered your channel, and it's a goldmine. I loved your pottery parable from 9:00-10:00. All of you who are seeing this message, keep up the hard work, and let's grow together!
Ali I finally posted my first video in my new channel and all thanks to this video.. can’t thank you enough.. and you rightly said, it feels so much less scary when you finally hit the publish button. I’m more excited about posting good content and improving myself and that fear is suddenly gone. You are amazing🙌🏻
Love the honesty and generosity of your advice!
After started making TH-cam videos, I started enjoying the process, not caring about the views or subscribers. Mentioned the same thing in my today's video "You can do it long term only when you enjoy the process, enjoy the journey, because you are on a solo trip in this journey"
Hey Ali, please make a video on content batching and how do you do it throughout social media platforms.
Yesss pleaseee!
Yes!
Make a batch of cookies then record
yes pleaseee
I second this! Please and thank you!
I did it, Ali!
I started my channel and uploaded my third video today.
Thank you so much for the 7 days newsletter for aspiring TH-camrs. It helped me start, and I’m super grateful!
Good day Ali! I really like how genuine and helpful you are in sharing your best practices to your audience who are also aspiring to become known with their passions. I started my channel on 2020 with the same reason of uploading contents that I am passionate of (Excel VBA and Music). At first, establishing a name as an Excel Content Creator was really hard because of competition. Only the ones with higher subscriber counts and good vlogging gears are being recognized. But with the help of TH-cam analytics and its other features, these helped me figure out that there are also viewers who are into straightforward contents like they want to get the answer with quick explanation right away. Now, I am about to reach 3000 subscribers, monetized, and somewhat gaining a generous number of views from supporters of straightforward approach. Thank you for helping all aspiring content creators to continue sharing what they are best at and that their peak will also come. Take care!
perfectly said
I just watched this video after uploading my first video.
Thank you so much for the support and inspiring words.
I'm going to go and record my second video now!
I subbed!
Pressing the publish button for the first time, while seemingly simple, was much scarier than I would have ever imagined.
Thanks for all these tips, Ali!

ive been making videos on and off for about 2 years now, and i recently privated all of them, and have started actually trying to make good videos. also 97% of my viewers watched till the end, which from what i know, is incredible, so now im just waiting for the algorithm to bless me
Thank you for this video! It was really helpful and eventually got me to start out on TH-cam. Although I have loads to learn it has been fun so far and I am in it for the long term. Cheers Ali, good luck with your projects!
That’s exactly what I needed. I started my TH-cam channel in May 2020 and I never realized how much work goes into it.

This is by far THE BEST aspiring TH-camr video I've seen, Thank GOD you uploaded this because the advice you give is gold. Thank you!!!!!!
as someone who also just started youtube, i really want to encourage everyone to just go for it! You never really know how much fun it is until you get viewers commenting on how helpful/entertaining they found your videos! We got this✨✨✨
th-cam.com/channels/qbOd9RMvAtju-etQ7BcEUg.html
Very true
Another tip I'd add which I'm learning as a beginner is don't let not knowing something stop you from uploading contents. For example I have been working on editing about a 20 minute video, I also have hour long videos that I have yet to even go near since recording. There's so much I got to learn about editing. And instead of getting so caught up with learning everything and not uploading any content: I decided to balance it out with working on smaller projects in between, that I know I can work with at my level. In the same token you also don't want to avoid bigger projects that you want to get done. So it's about finding balance. Don't get demotivated and every little bit you learn gets you closer to your goal. Slow and steady can win too. :)
well said
So glad I came across your channel, I have been contemplating starting a channel for two years, last week I uploaded my first channel video! Your advice is spot on!
I finally did it!!! I started planning since Aug 2021 and kept having doubts. I discovered you in January 2022 and the timing couldn't be better. In less than one month, I got my channel up!!!
This man has literally made me step up my study game, get into investing & start a yt channel.
Thanks for your advice, Ali! We really appreciate it. 😊
Agreed. Ali's content has done much to improve the quality of life in many, and it seems he enjoys doing what he does. Win-win situation; nothing but gratitude and respect.
I totally agree!
Sometimes you just find the person who makes something inside you click! haha Well done!

I'd been posting once a week, but having trouble staying consistent. This video was just the reminder I needed to pick it back up again. Thanks, Ali! So helpful :)
I love the content you have put out so far. Subscribed! Keep it going!
This literally relived me so much I wanted to start one for so long and I finally did.
The biggest challenge was picking up the camera thanks for helping through that
Of all the «how to start a YT channel» I watched this one has to be my fave. It's simple, quick and easy. Thank you so much!
I've been pretty over all these "how to be successful" videos on here for a while, but after a little over a month on youtube now, this is very accurate and you seem very sincere. Thanks for posting.
Truth
Ali, I can't thank you enough for putting out this video. It hit me hard when you said, "Just make videos! Nobody cares!"
It's true, and though our (my) ego gets in the way, we know quantity is the only way to quality.
Again, thanks and mich success to all your future endeavors!
I started it out brother and finding out your channel is so creative and helpful. I feel inspired and guided to go through yours videos. thank you so much Ali😊
I’ve made 4 videos thanks to the push from your TH-cam Foundations course! After years of angst-ing over it. You are right when you say no one cares and everyone’s in their own spotlight. So true!
Is true
People don't understand, as a new content creator I am just a drop of water in big, vast ocean, it is insanely hard to get noticed. But that's the point, there are no shortcuts, only hard work
Been putting this off for years, finally just went for it. I challenged myself to make one video a day for the entire month of May.
Greatly appreciate this video man!
1/day.. that's a goal!
I am in your course now, and you have inspired me to pick back up where I dropped off. Only upward and onward from here!
Thank you so much for giving me this inspiration and so many tips and insights from your journey. Just started my YT idea which I wanted to do for a long time. Now I feel energised everyday and can relate at least in a few points that you mentioned the same way. Such a good feeling and uplifting in nearly every part of my life :)
'just do it' - that's the mantra. I am nowhere in the age group (18-55)😉. Started doing videos to pass my time after my retirement 😊.
Totally agree with 'gear does not matter' & 'quantity vs quality'. Love ur calm presentation & thanks for the tips n advice 💐💐.
your tips are the fundamentals man, im getting started, around 350 subs now, seeing people comment, talk too me, engaging in my tech/gaming content is well surreal, thanks Ali, your simple yet aspiring tips have helped this small timer try to make it too the big leagues!!!
Thank you so much for those tips! I'm on video No9 now and I was beginning to get discouraged but I'm so grateful to have found your channel!
Hi Ali! The way you have articulated the points is just mind-blowing.
I have recently started my TH-cam channel and wish to grow it. I will try and give it all thats required from my end. Thank you for the great tips! 😊
I love that you do timestamps,, makes it so much more logical to follow
I agree with everything you mentioned in this video! I've always loved recording videos but never felt confident enough to put them out there. The hardest part of TH-cam is realizing that no one cares what you are doing and that you should just worry about yourself. I recently started uploading videos and just came back here to say thank you for that small nudge that you gave me!
I did it! Just posted my first video to start my channel. I've been "planning" to get started over the last 45 days so this video was just the challenge I needed. I just signed up for your 7 day course as well. Thanks for all the great material you're providing!!
Congratulations :)
Love all your knowledge! Thank you for sharing it with all of us! The first is always messy, and the best part is that it begins a beautiful journey!
47 videos... almost there. Thank you for stressing the quantity thing. It's easy to get wrapped up in striving to make your first videos perfect.
haha, it's a game-changer!
keep going! :)

Thanks for the great video Ali. I planted the tree today! Finally pulled that trigger thanks to your motivation and inspiration. Wish you the best! 🎉 Cheers.
Hey Ali! I just wanted to say thank you so much for the advice. I've had this channel since 2014, but I've never actually sat down and committed to being consistent! I finally decided I'm ready to start up again, and your advice helped a lot. I can't wait to see where my channel goes!
The king of youtube in my opinion! You gave me the motivation to start my TH-cam channel, so thank you! 😍😍
"Focus on quantity, not quality"
Definitely agree with this, learnt a lot more by making several videos than spending loads of time overly planning.
It seems like it would be the opposite but makes sense @simplestrategy!
@@loading...4388 Thats what i thought at first, I spent around 4-5 days making my first video. But now looking back I realised that I've learnt so much more and actually would have been better to make two videos spending two days on each. Obviously there's a balance but my advice would be to not stress as much as I did over your first video.
@@loading...4388 My most recent video took half the time and is at least twice as good. Definitely learn by doing.
Yeah! Simply deciding to take the plunge and post something that perhaps would not be considered to be the most polished definitely gave me a lot more confidence to continue!
Thank you. I got encouraged and started my channel! I will keep following your advices to learn more from you.
Thank you
Thanks! Just started my channel and I'm stoked! Love the stacking the deck analogy...
This is so motivating. You usually see videos about starting your TH-cam channel that say “know your niche!” “Be a great editor.” “Teach people something!” This is a breath of fresh air. Thank you!!!
Yes, I agree with you totally! This is truly a breath of fresh air! A wonderful video & tips
Agreed!

I actually did it. I was thinking about this for years. Researching gear and never acting on it. Now ended up shooting a video on my iPhone in the middle of the night.
You made me act and I thank you for it. My videos will likely suck for a few months or even years, but who the fuck cares. If it gives me even a fraction of the skills you are talking about, it is going to be so worth it.
Thank you, man!
Good luck 🙌
I just watched your first video. Good luck
Nice job taking action! Keep it up!
Hey Ali ! My TH-cam channel is brand new, so I’m researching a lot and your video is the first one that actually teaches with honesty. Thank you for motivating all of us that are trying to create a close community and a successful channel.
Its interesting hearing this. Some others giving similar advice say that quality over quantity is key and posting weekly is not even essential.
Those are really great tips, I remember me talking same words to myself few years ago! 🔥 And the rules didn’t really change. :)
I agree, I am just creating a Fridays Rewind
Completely agree ma’am! This is really good advice

Where is your checkmark ✔
Great tips. It is so nice to hear someone who inspires you saying it took them time to get traction. Even though you know that consistency is the key, in the beginning it seems that you will never get there.
I'm so thankful to hear from someone who wished they'd hopped onto youtube a decade ago... love how inclusive your community is and how REAL you are. thank you for this video 💖
Thanks Ali, sound advice, clean, simple, honest. Appreciate it!
