I changed my outlook on my life and my businesses. I feel like I have a fresh start at 35 years old. I'm accomplishing all my goals and manifesting my success. If I stayed in the same negative mind frame, I would have surely dropped out already. I have so much good to do and so many people to help. My struggles are my blessings and my weaknesses will become my strengths. God bless you all and good luck ❤
I started with you in about 2016/2017. You took me from 3,000 subscribers to 10,000 subscribers in just a couple of months - just by adjusting my thumbnails initially. LOL. Now I'm at 236K on TH-cam which is like where you were in subscribers when I first started watching you. I ordered your starting package and even subscribed to TubeBuddy through you. Now, I am on several paying social media platforms and I'm building a diverse social media portfolio. I have recommended every new creator I've run across to your channel as I am a testament to following your teaching strategies. I have many revenue streams thanks to listening to and following your device. 7 number one best selling books on Amazon, T-shirts, speaking gigs, courses, paid phone counseling service, and courtroom expert services. I'm beginning to try my hand at brand deals now, so I find myself back here, and just like the old days, you are a treasure trove of information! Thanks so much for being there from the start.
LOVE your take on wearing your own brand or brands that you are sponsoring, while streaming/recording. ...actually love & appreciate so much of the gems you provide on your channel, man. Thank you SO much for your time and wisdom.
I have wanted to be a content creator since I was like 19 years old. I’m 31 now and I just took the plunge and started a TH-cam channel (using a different account) last week. I am having a good time so far with my two uploaded videos haha 😂
I'm 59. I see a lot of older TH-camrs killing it out here. It's something how "younger" people like to put people in their 50s out to pasture. We have no respect for older people, I think it's an American thing. A younger person can't teach me about a lot of things that life throws at you, because they haven't been through it. Love, finances, going through illnesses (normal aging), how to maneuver through life's challengenes through things you learned over the years. A 20, 30 something can't tell me how to make a relationship last through the hard times, especially the way young people discard a relationship as soon as things get tough. A 20, 30-something-year-old can't tell me how to play the stock market, especially when it splits and the blue-chip stocks are down 50% of what they were, and it's time to buy more blue-chip stocks, like what happened in the late 80s. So 50+ women, go out there and do your thing, you have more to offer in this world than you know.
I think it all depends on what niche but also just the level of resources and responsibilities someone has. I think it’s just a matter of positioning in either case. Being older works for being a thought leader… Being younger works for being an entertainer. Surely we can agree that is generally the case?
@@RobertoBlake We can agree... to a point. LOL. On responsibilities. 50+ are usually empty nesters. We're turning your bedrooms into home gyms, media rooms, craft rooms you name it. Your generation is thinking about families. We had ours and moved on. Now I admit, I have traveled to all 7 continents by the age of 40, and have lived overseas in various countries. I still travel, and although I see a lot of young people, I see people older than me! Now they may not be scuba diving (take that back, I saw a 90-year-old deep sea fishing)LOL. But older people are living it up because we have no one to look after anymore. I mean our children will always be our babies, but you know what I mean. So while I understand the youth and pretty factor of succeeding on TH-cam. Don't count us older people out. An entertainer, okay, I can go with that. But someone my age can even be more entertaining because we've lived. I can see buying a house from a totally different perspective than a bright-eyed, optimistic 20-year-old. And although I may not be buying a house at my age, I know the long-term advantages and disadvantages of home ownership. Also, my generation would teach about owning property for income purposes. Something a 20, 30 something-year-old may not see at that moment in life. Yes, there are some 20 and 30-somethings that own income property, but that's far and few between. So for education, I would say a more knowledge-based channel for the older generation. For pure entertainment, fluff, gaming, hauls, I noticed those are very popular, and trying to get your hustle on (by the way, you millennials are struggling out here), youth is where it's at.
Your points are valid I just think young people are biased and don’t consider those things (they should but don’t) and they are the larger population on the platform. And we have data on who they gave their attention to and made rich and famous. The data doesn’t lie…
This is true. But, older people are trying to catch up. I think we don't want to be left out, especially after Covid and how things like the economy and life in general can be iffy.
Replay squad. I'm on week8 of livestreaming as per your suggestion, and have already started to build a community! it may be only about 5-6 users, but they're online with me every night. No growth yet from it yet... still looking for a resolution on that metric.
Yeeey! I am Reply Squad! Coz of timezone your live sessions come on at around 2AM when I'm asleep but I am always excited to wake up to another educative session from you. Thank you for acknowledging us! 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Sheesh! Talk about Masterclass!! I have no idea how I was led to this content, but your wisdom woke me out of my sleep! I fell asleep with some nerdy comic content playing, and woke up to your clever explanation of psychographic and demographic strategy, and that hooked me in. I restarted the whole video lol! I was a bit discouraged to hear the truth about my realistic reach (40+ dude here) but it also inspired me to find ways to be an outlier. Thank you for committing to your calling, I appreciate you.
#replayviewer Thank you so much for your insights. I sure wish I had stayed on the TH-cam train when I first joined years ago, but I am on it now and hopefully I’ll be able to stick with it until I make some real money.
I started this video and then I stepped away to make myself a glass of water and thought maybe I clicked on the wrong video because it didn't sound like you 😂 somehow I tapped the speed changer lol😂
@@RobertoBlake selling the idea that my video woulda only had 10k views but $100 made it 20k . I had to try it once but i have no idea what even really went on. I did put english speaking countries
Bro you make amazing content but my man…. You need to stop drinking CONSTANTLY on stream to where we can hear you nonstop swallowing. It literally grosses me out and I have to skip every sip you take..
Hi Roberto! 😊 I’ve been here watching for 14 yrs. and just started posting this past year. I’ve been consistent this past month and I’m working on building & connecting. Listening to you (36:04) sounds like the C. Creators have agents, I know my buddy on TikTok does. Should and when do we get an agent for TH-cam? I don’t want to accept a bad deal. 🫶🏾♥️ #TFS #LoveYourChannel

Hi Roberto, replay squad here. Listening to you in the evening.
Thanks for listening

Roberto, this one was extra outstanding! Appreciate you. 🌟
I learned so much from this live..Thank you for all the jewels you dropped!
My DAWG went crazy on that thumbnail photo shoot I've gotta step my game up
Hello. How many years do your yt monetized?
I love Roberto, he is so smart!
Great! Listened while mowing the grass. But, you drank from your water bottle without taking a scoop of creatine, lol. (Jackie Chou) 😂
Replay! I was walking out my door, listening and then I heard whistling. Scared the 💩 out of me and then I realized that must of been you!? 😅😂
I'm 29 and only have 41 subscribers on my other channel
Is it StreamYard that allows you to display the chat lower third graphics? Is that a built in feature?
Streamyard !!!

"40 or 50 year old grizzled person" haha. I'm 59 and I don't feel grizzled. At least not most days. 🙂 Yes, the social proof piece is our edge.
Can u do a vid about youtube promo?
Yes but short version is don’t use it if you’re not selling something
@@RobertoBlake selling the idea that my video woulda only had 10k views but $100 made it 20k . I had to try it once but i have no idea what even really went on. I did put english speaking countries
@@RobertoBlake i didnt buy any subs. Tjst is just so stupid
Why do you even care🙄 just do you and keep it moving.
I need help
💎 & ⚪ thank you 😊👍
You make more money if you do this in America, anywhere does not compare to what you can earn.
You could do an English Channel targeting a U.S. audience…
@@RobertoBlake I live north of you.

Bro you make amazing content but my man…. You need to stop drinking CONSTANTLY on stream to where we can hear you nonstop swallowing.
It literally grosses me out and I have to skip every sip you take..
Can’t do the streams without losing my voice if I don’t drink
Design the man a plugin that removes those sounds mid-stream. Then sell the plugin.
