Uuuggghhh that inner dialogue part… absolutely called out 😅 I’ve been doing it so messy and embracing the steep curve of being a beginner. Aaaaand I will probably always battle the overthinking, with the hope of it quieting bit by bit over time. Thanks for honest talk and let the process of doing it anyway unfold!
Honestly the overthink is so annoying, I do it all the time and it stops me from creating so much more because I want everything to be in perfect alignment with my vision. Sometimes you just need to drop the vision and just create in the moment
Thank U Ben. Every video instills confidence. I'm struggling 2 launch. My content is focusing on an angle I haven't seen 2 date. My fears get in the way. U help clear the fears. ❤
The hardest part of overthinking is wondering if your content even resonates with people. You put in the work, try to stay true to yourself, and do your best to be "fresh". It’s tough, and I think a lot about stepping back. But I guess that’s part of it - keep at it, even when the response isn’t there. I might not get where I want, but making peace with that and keeping at it feels right. Cheers to all the creators out there, doing their thing! 🖤
This is exactly what I’m doing. It’s grueling, lonely, and discouraging but I’m proud of my series. I’m about to hit a year anniversary which will be 52 videos. I posted every Sunday and didn’t miss one. I committed to three years and I start year two Jan 1, 2025. Lord give me continued strength, patience and endless creativity. Thanks for the reminder. I needed it as I start to plan my 2025 approach. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Love that video snippet from Benedict Cumberbatch. Thank you for this encouraging video. Though I often try to remind my WHY instead of letting the metrics defined my channel, there are days when self-doubt creeping in. Trust that our videos will reach its intended viewers. To all the TH-camrs, keep it going!💪
Your awesome Mr Ben kaluza😤🤜🤛, funny I was just overthinking stuff about how hard it gonna b to get this personal project of mine done. But I guess I'll have to start from some where
Start creating and just dont stop. Honestly every week I'm not that happy with my video, I know it could be so much better if I had planned it more, but when it comes to recording day I get it done I upload and I move on to the next one.
This video got me to sub. Just for being 100% true and empathetic. I agree just do. The more you do the better you get. Great video. And thank you for the message. Message was received brother. Thank you 🙏
thanks for the sub I appreciate it. Absolutely the more you do the better you get, it's as simple as that but we easily forget that and get lost in our own doubts.
Dear Ben, thank you for your inspiration! I've been following your content since last summer. Thanks to you I started my Twitch community last September and I've already accomplished 3 challenges. December is gonna be The 30-Day Fear Challenge and I'm going to willingly face rejection since that's what's stopping me now. Every day when I start my streams I mention you and other artists I think can inspire and encourage people create. Your channel is also on my recommended streamers section. It's become a reminder to be consistent. Please, don't worry about your vlogs, platforms or formats...those who love your work will find the way to watch you wherever! ❤ I'll do it. 😊
ahh thanks so much that means a lot. Glad I could help inspire that is all I am here to do. I will stop worrying haha and just create more and be me and see who comes along for the ride. Good luck ❤
Thanks a million, Ben. You nailed it for me! I just deleted a couple of videos because of the amount of work I did and only 24-views in 7-8 days. Trying to remain focused on the long-journey is difficult for me. Also, your your lighting and color control on this video is awesome. Peace.
How come you deleted the videos? You should leave them up. I've had so many videos that I've sunk hours into only for them to flop. You just need to post and move on. I personally usually give myself a day to sulk about it haha then next day I'm like ok whats next
@@BenKaluza Thanks again, Ben. I've told myself, enjoying the process is more important than whether or not the video flops. As an older guy in life, that's easier said than done--reprogramming the thought process requires work. Peace.
@ Hey Brother Ben, I modified the deleted video and re-uploaded it. As another creator recently said, “it really doesn’t matter!” Thanks for your encouragement. Be well. Peace.😎
This video is great! Coincidentally just what i needed. I'd love to watch the behind the scenes type weekly vlogs. Presenting that idea is building trust already. Good luck!
You mentioned Matt D'Avella and that you're unsure about creating content similar to his. One idea could be to tell similar types of stories but embed some creator knowledge inside them. If you look at Matt's videos, it is often a pitch of a problem, followed by the trial of the solution, and in the end, he finds out the bits and pieces he can adapt. You can try it out without leaving your niche. Just make sure that you connect every scene logically with each other, ideally with some tension and progression in storytelling. You can script the intro and the key parts and speak freely with bullet points in between. I'd bet this could turn out amazing!
hey, thanks for the comment. yeah I agree with what you've said. I'm sure my style will evolve over time into more developed narratives around content creation. The vlog will certainly help with this, I'm just gonna keep churning out videos in different ways and eventually I'll find what works for me. I'm about to take on a full-time editor which will help me massively.
Hey mate! Really enjoyed your video. Good title, good thumbnail. Niceee I’m going to some similar transition of my content, thinking of laying back a bit from the extremely produced videos and opening a new channel where I could make simple commentary videos super often. But because I haven’t started, I’m overthinking it. Big mistake, I just wanna start. Cheers to you!😊
Thanks Felix, yeah I've been through the same. My videos could be better edited, I could have a better thumbnail, I could be better in so many different areas but then it will just prevent me from being consistent. My goal now is to just upload weekly and never stop
Valeu pelas dicas de hoje. Há um tempo atras eu também tinha este tipo de pensamento, pensar muito como fazer as coisas. Agora só faço e melhoro durante o processo.... Directamente de Angola/ Africa.
I have been watching TH-cam for years and years (I don't own a TV). You just got the first like I have ever given a video. I will follow you closely, you are either the most authentic person I have seen.
Ben please help a brotha out. I am posting 3x a day. I am going to switch to one post a day. I need a better filter for my videos and I also need help with a thumbnail for my videos. I am currently using my iphone 13 pro max.
"growth in my ability to create". Such a powerful statement.
@@memyself2787 I might have to save this somewhere myself and reuse it

Just get going - it's the only thing what you need
Make a video this weekend and post it
Just do it trust me
Yep just post, unedited and go. I made myself do it. Just started and editing is a killer but I have to learn.
"Growth in my ability to create" that's powerful. Thanks for this
Not sure where I pulled that from but I liked it haha

Love the idea of a raw and real vlog! Getting pumped to start up!

you're the best Ben. The most authentic figure i've seen on youtube honestly
thank you so much that is the best compliment you can give me, it is what I stand for and will continue to do forever.
3:02 - amen.
Ben, i just wanted to say that this video helped me with my creation mindset a lot!
Beautiful, I’m glad to hear it that’s my only goal for these videos

Yeah it’s a great clip I love it. Unfortunately it can take a long time before your videos reach the intended viewers, you just got to keep creating

No problem 😊
Ah Ben. I look out for your videos every week. Thank you for sharing from your soul. 🤗😊
Ah thank you, glad I could speak to you from the soul
Thank you Ben for this video I am just starting to upload videos again on my channel and I needed this a reminder to myself to just keep doing !

Exactly
Just Dooooooooooooooo! Right on, great vid!
I’m trying
You're a day late but we'll let it slide...
Oh wait maybe you record Wednesdays then upload Thursdays? In which case, my bad!
Haha no you’re right, Wednesdays is my upload day, sometimes I can’t be asked to finish the script
