Thank you Ruri for this amazing video. Please do more about niche and figuring out the type of videos to watch for small channels. I am learning much from you and can't wait to apply what you talked about. Has someone noticed at 6th minutes when Ruri talked about the audio she was hilarious about the other faulty microphone🤣
It's sometimes a bit harder than just watching. In my experience I try putting on on "producer mode" when watching YT videos. That means analysing what works well in existing videos, and asking yourself which ideas to reproduce and what you could do differently to make it even better
I do this with a lot of channels I watch. I look at where they cut the video, how they add impact to their words with editing, and storytelling and structure of the video. I then try and replicate the techniques and add my own unique spin. Your videos will definitely improve when you watch channels analytically
Let's go start I did it 2 days ago and don't have many viewers nor followers but ik I'm meant for more and this is just the beginning of a legendary Chanel:)
Do not make videos to please the algorithm. You’ll drive yourself crazy and white up not posting videos and quit TH-cam. Have fun And don’t do it for the money and the fame. Also don’t do it for the views do it because you engage at least one person or more. Don’t forget take breaks when you need to. The real people that like your videos will understand that you need a break.
To all the small TH-camrs starting off, you got this, I hit my 1000 subs and i really never thought i would, keep grinding, make quality content, cut out pauses and give value.
Good content and great strategy. As a small content creator on TH-cam, I know how hard it is to gain traction and attention from the beginning. Like many of you guys, I was tired of creating quality content almost every day and getting only a few hundred views on my best days. After that, I tried using some tools to ramp up my social presence, and honestly I don't regret it. Consistency, hard work (and a little bit of Famester) is key to success.
After being inspired by You Tube flower farmers, I tried to make a living for 2 years by flower farming on half an acre and using my floristry skills. I realised the best way to make money from it was to make videos on how to do it. *So, I really appreciate that you showed you were successful before making how-to do TH-cam videos!* It seems it's easiest to be successful in a field with "how to be successful in this field" videos.
The best and most unique idea I haven’t heard anywhere else: creating a separate TH-cam account where you watch only videos your ideal audience would watch is genius. I’ve done this unintentionally with my travel agency account and it’s helped alot (in regards to idea generation) ❤ thank you!
I created my youtube account, back in 2008, mostly to watch videos, not to build a channel. After watching this video, I am encouraged to start a YT channel. Thanks for this Ruri, you are inspiring.
Yo, the algorithm served me your video today. I have no intention of starting a youtube channel but I really like the message you are spreading. Respect from Sweden, keep slaying!
Thank you for the valuable tips! I started my channel a few months ago and I’m trying to implement things I’ve learned from awesome channels like yours. Best of luck to all the creators reading this!
She is very good at whatever she does on TH-cam! Because such a great work’s done by her. And a generous willing to share with followers…That’s why Ruri has got nearly 1,5M subscribers!
I like the idea that you suggested about personal branding being a way to help your channel stand out from the competition. Giving people a reason to watch my channel and have them remember it will be my focus. I am going to create more videos that show my face, and have me engaging more with my audience. Thanks Ruri!
I’m not a young person, and I’ve been in conceptual advertising and branding through illustration/ visual art, and you are extremely inspiring and comforting. You’re absolutely correct…. All success comes from resilience… never giving up. I’m a huge fan Ruri!
Consistency is very important. If for instance you do a new video every day and you take a week off, you won’t get the same recommendations to viewers when you come back after taking a week off. You better stay regular whatever your regular video release might be.
Just uploaded my 1st video a week ago, but sat on it for soo long before making it public due to fear of judgement - but 26 views in (most of which was probably me taking notes to improve 😂) it is kind of comforting to know that no one cares about/will even see the first few videos. Hope everyone here who's worried about getting started is motivated by this video and just pulls the trigger - because why not?
My Core Value is Overcoming Rejection within The Self / Raising your Self Worth / Eliminating Procrastination - thats my Trinity Journey that I'll Focus on . I haven't achieved that goal yet, but I AM working towards it. Thank you Love
I like the way you said that no one will watch the first perhaps 100 videos but you made it a positive thing. I'm tired of hearing coaches who make it sound like you're wasting your time in the beginning and will look foolish and laughable.
Just stumbled upon your video and what filled me with the most enthusiasm and hope for the future blossoming TH-camrs was your emphasis of three things - 1) Produce the content you want to make, i.e. don't chase the trends, algorithm, or copy someone big 2) Be creative in the truest since, i.e. don't just repeat what is out there, but provide your unique take 3) Remove anything that would provide an excuse to share, i.e. be your own advocate to produce The only statement you made that raised an eyebrow was regarding EDITING. Editing is not just the video, transitions, and filters, like you say. But it also is not something that should be just handed off to someone else. The editor is the one who refines and focuses the viewer on the raw content of the video via the artistic and directional influence over that raw content. I saw a great example of a couple simply talking to each other with just generic neutral script, with all the footage just shot raw and unadulterated. Then they had two versions of that same conversation, one was edited to make it feel like the couple were breaking up, the second made it feel like they were getting together... all from the same content. You can probably think of comedic versions of this where a celebrity has a normal interview with normal answers, but then a new funny interview is created by simply changing the questions asked. The point is, as soon as you give editing over to someone else it will always be a bit of their version of your take. Try to learn basic editing and work from there, as it will train you to create raw content that takes less editing at the end. I am sure you can think of some TH-camrs who simply talk to the camera, do their thing, and come away with nearly no editing needed because they edit on the fly. Granted, there are also those that can't go more than a few seconds with out having to cut our their "umms" and "ahhs" ending up with something looking more like stop motion. So, just like the video says. Just get better and forge ahead.
lots of good points and also to add that your editing style will also change who tunes in to watch. too fast paced and you lose those how aren't into tiktok. too much dead space and your retention drops because you took too long to get to the point. Some channels can swear all day with no issue and others will get less push speaking the same way. what you missed is you need to make them feel something. If they aren't moved to let you know you got something wrong or you were spot on and they agree then you may as well be reading the dictionary. This is the reason many will leave in errors for the engagement of 100's of people telling you your mistake. Even the length of your comment signals that this video is engaging so others should check it out. (I know because my videos with the longer comments get more views vs the ones with more short comments and likes...its all about retention)
I was waiting for you to say "outsourcing because time is the most important asset". You give straight words without making them sweet which makes you REALLY reliable and authentic. Well done
Thank you so much for posting this! I am about to start a TH-cam channel but I've been struggling on what kind of content I want to put out but I think I'm going to make my new page about my life, the progress I make and the struggles I face as a make in his early 30s.i feel like i can relate to and lot of people out there. But yeah thank you for your motivation, I feel like it was a sign for me to get started and stop procrastinating! Much love to you! ❤🙏🏻
Doing exactly this! Putting up videos and trying not to get discouraged with the lack of engagement. The experience in itself is worth it, it's a sort of hobby as well.
I have a small 80s & 90s pop culture and nostalgia channel. That may be too narrow of a niche, but I’m having fun a little over 50 videos in. It’s introduced me to some really cool people already, and there’s great value in that alone! Keep it up everyone!
I started my channel 1 year ago and I really enjoy making videos! It's tough to get views and subs because of my niche and the videos are animated instead of a real person talking, but I think there are people who would love it and find value in what I do!
Just posted my first video in years! (before I saw this video lol) There was no script, no editing, no cinematography. I just hit record and fumbled through it! Hearing no one will watch my first videos was such a relief~
As always, Ruri shared useful information. You are someone I enjoy watching and never get bored of. I wish you continued success. I hope your number of followers reaches 2 million as soon as possible.
I'll have to show this video to my nephew (he has a YT channel). I wanted to leave TH-cam at least four times. Algorithm is one I still don't understand till this day. I'm not as tech savvy nor awesome at thumbnails like everybody else. Plus, I'm so bashful to the point of refusing to be on camera in videos. Don't even get me started on copyright rules. My advice for future to small channel TH-camrs, be yourself and don't quit. Excellent video.
This was honestly really helpful. The part where u were saying the first couple videos r just a way to practice b/c nobody is gonna be watching gave me the inspiration I needed to just go for it
I think your current success is great. And videos like these, are a great reminder to the rest of us. I'm referencing myself, who has been on TH-cam only a few months; these things take time. As well as trial and error. Thanks.
I was there and subscribed when you just started and i have to be honest and say that i haven’t been keeping up with your stuff lately, i saw this video on my feed today and Im surprised on how much your channel has grown and yourself as well! 🎉 keep it up 💪.
Love this messaging for you and thank you for sharing! I just started with my gaming channel and I believe in being direct and aggressive when playing games and living life. Always be yourself and different. Wonderful message and keep tapping out!! 🍂🍂🍂🍂
I came across your content and I really like your coaching style😊. Im an old guy learning from this younger generation on generating income online. Thank you for the lessons😊
Great video thanks! Just one tip though, some of the recommended tech is definitely unaffordable for many small TH-camrs. Rode and Sony have entry level products BUT there are many cheaper alternatives that you can start with and upgrade if your channel takes off.
You are such a gem, strategic, intelligent, love your accent.. I wouldn’t mind meeting you in person, your giggles are adorable. Thanks for your hard work and your message aligns with my core values..❤
I have been an avid TH-cam consumer since TH-cam was created. I've wanted to become a "TH-camr" for years, but with work and family obligations I haven't had time to do it. Things have changed, I have the time. I've been trying to get content uploaded and I have finally started getting stuff on my channel. I have realized how little I know about creating videos, so I have been watching a lot of instructional videos. You are excellent. This video is the only one I have watched from you, but it was very informative. Thanks for what you do.
6:39 I can personally recommend the blue snowball around ~50$ or the AT2020 ~100$ if you're just at your computer filming for example gaming or anything where you are almost exclusively at your desk.
Thank you for making this video Ruri, the information and confidence you impart are great motivation. You've given me the target of releasing my first embarrassing 'no ones going to see it anyway' video in the next 7 days! I'm going through the rest of your videos and can't wait to see what happens in 2025 with great mentors like you helping to get started.
Oh yeah, that's how i started out when i started my TH-cam channel back in 2020. And four years later, i have over 469 subscribers. It's all about what videos spark up the most views, and that's the key right there. That's what i've been doing for the past four years when making videos.
Ruri, you are amazing in this video as always. I am happy that there is a youtuber like you who is sweet, knowledgeable and contributes to us. I love you so much, keep making videos like this! 💖😎
3 minutes in and I got 60 videos worth of older video plus one I havent heard. Personal branding. Not mentioned in that three minutes, She provided tons of value with out bsing an intro, name, or personal ad.
This is great timing for this video to come up! I was feeling a little discouraged for a few days but not going to let it affected my progress. You are doing awesome girl thank you for your efforts 🥰
Love the way you issued a challenge at the end. I'm having a crisis of confidence right now because I'm stuck in tutorial hell and not producing anything. The algorithm must have thrown this up, because I watched a video earlier today about just actually making a website, instead of spending all your time learning how to make websites. I have a dormant TH-cam channel, and I know how to build a fairly good basic webpage. It is actually refreshing to realise this and just get to work. I mean, that's the whole point. Just checked out my channel: 3 videos, all done 10 years ago. Man, where would I be if I actually went on with it back then? And the videos were just done as ads for junk I was selling. Still, nice to see it considering how much TH-cam I consume. 2 subscribers too! Thanks Ruri! Lots of wise words in this video.
If you see those who doubted you, let them know how much money you've made on TH-cam. That will humble them for you. Thank you for this video. You have giving me some ideas about the TH-cam channel I have started.
Been a while since I had time to watch your videos. The fact that I actually got at least 200 subs within some months, that's actually cool. I'm sure these advices are gonna work
I started TH-cam back in 2017 because I wanted to have fun and share my fun with others. I'm still doing that. I do what I find fun and just share that with others. TH-cam is very fun for me. And I've developed an audience that has fun along with me.
This is one of the only channels I've seen providing genuine value... for absolutely FREE! If you're reading this, don't give up. I hope you'll become a successful content creator soon
i love your personality and what you say becuase its not just a script writen to grab viewers , its all experience , the thing you said about Picking a niche just saved me from my Non stop Miind Procastination about what to make videos about now i know who to make videos for i know what videos should i make , Love from iran
I really enjoy your presentations. I listened a few months ago, but lost your vids somehow or forgot to stay with it. Thank you for pointing out that AI really hasn't yet replaced authentic human writing content; hasn't replaced us writers. I am an author (a struggling one) and I know that AI can't produce the genuine thoughtful content which I can produce. It only duplicates or draws off of already made content and is often wrong or off-course. Noel LaChance
The audio tip is so on point. My bluetooth speaker fighting the shower for my attention. I clicked on a different vid before this one and while showerless, it sounds fine, with the shower on, it sounded very mumbly or muffled, so I turned her video on (first time watching this channel,) and listened to this video while in the shower, so kudos!
As a new youtuber myself, this was a really helpful video! it was great hearing your story during your beginning of the channel; really inspires me to keep going with my journey and not giving up. thanks for the tips!
Really helpful video for someone hesitant to start their YT journey. Thank you for the encouragement and your English is perfectly fine and not overly complicated by Ai, it's natural easily understood by someone like myself
5:01 gratitude I'm sending much love light unity and respect to all y'all appreciate every single one of you keep on shining be a light in the darkness
Just wanted to comment. I have watched almost half of your very wonderfully presented podcast as someone who is new to my TH-cam channel. Thanks for some insight. Great work. Helping your family in need was very admirable for you to continue this trajectory online. Kudos! Kudos
Recently I have also started about a week ago my YT shorts about Editing tips and tricks by thinking the same that nobody will watch my first video and learned that we just need to take the first step.
I respectfully disagree. If you learn every aspect of what a successful TH-camr does (Retention, video shots, ideas, editing, selecting the right music, etc), I believe everyone can be successful. The only people who aren't successful is not evolving in these skills, hitting a wall, and giving up. I barely got to 100 subscribers and I know my videos are HORRIBLE. But with that said, there's A LOT of room to improve. Don't give up guys! Learn process. Evolve in each video. Write down notes and incorporate to next videos. I know that's what I NEED to be doing! We will grow! And that's a FACT
For me finding a niche is being definitely the most challenging thing to do, just like you I'm on my 5th attempt 😅I wanted to do ALL my research first, truly understanding youtube and how it works. After many videos and lots of notes I decided to start over again by rethinking who I'm talking to? And why? I know what I'm good at, but still don't know how to apply that in content creation, I want to create content in the gaming genre because gaming is my hobby, and finding a niche that I really like and actually works mixed with what I'm good at is confusing. Maybe I have to ask myself those questions again, and with the answers, consider if that genre is the correct choice for my content to begin with. What a challenge, but without your videos and your suggestions I wouldn't have any idea of what to do, thank you so much Ruri
Excellent point!!! Having something to say might not be what we see across all channels but surely is a solid way to be honest with yourself and the audience while ensuring a long lasting growth of one's channel. It live beyond sudden trends. In my opinion. Thanks for the tips/lesson and Cheers!!
I am a small channel, but I'm not gonna give up, because you are motivating me a lot ♡, especially when you showed your first videos... that encouraged me that not everything happens overnight 🙈 you are such a role model 🫶 thanks for this video (btw: love your necklace )

Used your link tks
Girl Boss Hustle: Earn 10k from Home showed me the way to make 10k a month without leaving my house. Why is no one talking about this?!
This video is basically a 17 minute speedrun of courses that I paid thousands of dollars for. Well done Ruri, this is insane value.
"to be a good producer, you need to be a good consumer first"
Good thing I spend over 3 hours a day watching youtube videos.
It's sometimes a bit harder than just watching.
In my experience I try putting on on "producer mode" when watching YT videos. That means analysing what works well in existing videos, and asking yourself which ideas to reproduce and what you could do differently to make it even better

I then try and replicate the techniques and add my own unique spin. Your videos will definitely improve when you watch channels analytically
Just 3h? You are a newbie
3 hours? pathetic
killin it
Saying no one will watch ur first vids is what gave me the confidence to start my channel thank u
You could have a hundred vids that no one will still watch.
Let's go start I did it 2 days ago and don't have many viewers nor followers but ik I'm meant for more and this is just the beginning of a legendary Chanel:)
Agree 💯%
That's not always true. You can make your first video and it might get a million views.
Same
Do not make videos to please the algorithm. You’ll drive yourself crazy and white up not posting videos and quit TH-cam. Have fun And don’t do it for the money and the fame. Also don’t do it for the views do it because you engage at least one person or more. Don’t forget take breaks when you need to. The real people that like your videos will understand that you need a break.
Realest comment ever. 👏🏼
Real and underrated
thank you so much for this
Amen to that brotha 💯

The only statement you made that raised an eyebrow was regarding EDITING.
Editing is not just the video, transitions, and filters, like you say. But it also is not something that should be just handed off to someone else.
The editor is the one who refines and focuses the viewer on the raw content of the video via the artistic and directional influence over that raw content.
I saw a great example of a couple simply talking to each other with just generic neutral script, with all the footage just shot raw and unadulterated.
Then they had two versions of that same conversation, one was edited to make it feel like the couple were breaking up, the second made it feel like they were getting together... all from the same content.

Wow Ruri, LOVE your attitude. It is AMAzing & ENCOURAGING! ✨

Same here. It took me years to convince myself to start. And here I am. Maybe not so viral but i am determined to commit until i make it.
As always, Ruri shared useful information. You are someone I enjoy watching and never get bored of. I wish you continued success. I hope your number of followers reaches 2 million as soon as possible.
I'll have to show this video to my nephew (he has a YT channel). I wanted to leave TH-cam at least four times. Algorithm is one I still don't understand till this day. I'm not as tech savvy nor awesome at thumbnails like everybody else. Plus, I'm so bashful to the point of refusing to be on camera in videos. Don't even get me started on copyright rules. My advice for future to small channel TH-camrs, be yourself and don't quit. Excellent video.
This was honestly really helpful. The part where u were saying the first couple videos r just a way to practice b/c nobody is gonna be watching gave me the inspiration I needed to just go for it
Awesome story. Very helpful. Thank you for hanging in there and sticking it out.
I think your current success is great. And videos like these, are a great reminder to the rest of us. I'm referencing myself, who has been on TH-cam only a few months; these things take time. As well as trial and error. Thanks.
I was there and subscribed when you just started and i have to be honest and say that i haven’t been keeping up with your stuff lately, i saw this video on my feed today and Im surprised on how much your channel has grown and yourself as well! 🎉 keep it up 💪.
Love this messaging for you and thank you for sharing! I just started with my gaming channel and I believe in being direct and aggressive when playing games and living life. Always be yourself and different. Wonderful message and keep tapping out!! 🍂🍂🍂🍂
I came across your content and I really like your coaching style😊.
Im an old guy learning from this younger generation on generating income online.
Thank you for the lessons😊
Great video thanks! Just one tip though, some of the recommended tech is definitely unaffordable for many small TH-camrs. Rode and Sony have entry level products BUT there are many cheaper alternatives that you can start with and upgrade if your channel takes off.
I appreciate your presence in my life, keep up the good work! Take care!
Thanks for being such a influencing creator for this platform!
You are such a gem, strategic, intelligent, love your accent.. I wouldn’t mind meeting you in person, your giggles are adorable. Thanks for your hard work and your message aligns with my core values..❤
I have been an avid TH-cam consumer since TH-cam was created. I've wanted to become a "TH-camr" for years, but with work and family obligations I haven't had time to do it. Things have changed, I have the time. I've been trying to get content uploaded and I have finally started getting stuff on my channel. I have realized how little I know about creating videos, so I have been watching a lot of instructional videos. You are excellent. This video is the only one I have watched from you, but it was very informative. Thanks for what you do.
Great info! Thanks for sharing Ruri.
You definitely need resilience. Started over a month ago and happy to be in this journey. Thank you for this❤❤❤
6:39 I can personally recommend the blue snowball around ~50$ or the AT2020 ~100$ if you're just at your computer filming for example gaming or anything where you are almost exclusively at your desk.
Thank you for making this video Ruri, the information and confidence you impart are great motivation. You've given me the target of releasing my first embarrassing 'no ones going to see it anyway' video in the next 7 days! I'm going through the rest of your videos and can't wait to see what happens in 2025 with great mentors like you helping to get started.
You're amazing, Ruri. This is the first video of yours that I've seen, and, yeah, you're a dope human being! Thank you! 😁
Oh yeah, that's how i started out when i started my TH-cam channel back in 2020. And four years later, i have over 469 subscribers. It's all about what videos spark up the most views, and that's the key right there. That's what i've been doing for the past four years when making videos.
Ruri, you are amazing in this video as always. I am happy that there is a youtuber like you who is sweet, knowledgeable and contributes to us. I love you so much, keep making videos like this! 💖😎
3 minutes in and I got 60 videos worth of older video plus one I havent heard. Personal branding. Not mentioned in that three minutes, She provided tons of value with out bsing an intro, name, or personal ad.
This is great timing for this video to come up! I was feeling a little discouraged for a few days but not going to let it affected my progress. You are doing awesome girl thank you for your efforts 🥰
Keep going you got this ❤. If it is painful and hard you know you're doing it right. 😅
Love the way you issued a challenge at the end. I'm having a crisis of confidence right now because I'm stuck in tutorial hell and not producing anything. The algorithm must have thrown this up, because I watched a video earlier today about just actually making a website, instead of spending all your time learning how to make websites. I have a dormant TH-cam channel, and I know how to build a fairly good basic webpage. It is actually refreshing to realise this and just get to work. I mean, that's the whole point. Just checked out my channel: 3 videos, all done 10 years ago. Man, where would I be if I actually went on with it back then? And the videos were just done as ads for junk I was selling. Still, nice to see it considering how much TH-cam I consume. 2 subscribers too! Thanks Ruri! Lots of wise words in this video.
I’m happy to have started the TH-cam journey and I wish the best for everyone else on a similar path. Awesome video and sending much love to you Ruri!
I'm on the path too, great luck to you❤
Every content creator who is starting a TH-cam channel should watch this video! So much value in only 17 minutes!
bruh how did this video get reccommended to me immidiately after I was thinking about starting a youtube channel
Do it!!!
Maybe it's because you've watched many videos to start yt channel and the algorithms of youtube recommend this video to u❤
i count on you, we can do this
Algorithm knows you better than you know yourself
@@BIGEGOBEATS really hahaha
Straight up honest no BS information. Love it!
a lot of things just went over my head but i think i understood what you said . Awesome content .
If you see those who doubted you, let them know how much money you've made on TH-cam. That will humble them for you. Thank you for this video. You have giving me some ideas about the TH-cam channel I have started.
Been a while since I had time to watch your videos. The fact that I actually got at least 200 subs within some months, that's actually cool. I'm sure these advices are gonna work
I started TH-cam back in 2017 because I wanted to have fun and share my fun with others.
I'm still doing that. I do what I find fun and just share that with others.
TH-cam is very fun for me. And I've developed an audience that has fun along with me.
As always, Ruri is one of the best of all the time. Hello from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
Good luck ❤ 🎉
This is one of the only channels I've seen providing genuine value... for absolutely FREE! If you're reading this, don't give up. I hope you'll become a successful content creator soon
Thanks… I am gonna continue trying. 😊 Let’s all try harder for 2024. 🎉
I sub to your channel good luck
@@TheCurlyGirlys thanks for the support. I supported u too. 😀
Let's do it !!!
yes definitely!🙌
I watched a lot of videos about how to start a YT chanel and I find this one of the best really. Good job!
Wow. It is exactly what I need. Thank you Ruri.
i love your personality and what you say becuase its not just a script writen to grab viewers , its all experience , the thing you said about Picking a niche just saved me from my Non stop Miind Procastination about what to make videos about now i know who to make videos for i know what videos should i make , Love from iran
Glad to see your notification as always! Keep making such amazing content
I really enjoy your presentations. I listened a few months ago, but lost your vids somehow or forgot to stay with it. Thank you for pointing out that AI really hasn't yet replaced authentic human writing content; hasn't replaced us writers. I am an author (a struggling one) and I know that AI can't produce the genuine thoughtful content which I can produce. It only duplicates or draws off of already made content and is often wrong or off-course. Noel LaChance
I think your success has to do with the fact that you are so honest and authentic.
The audio tip is so on point. My bluetooth speaker fighting the shower for my attention. I clicked on a different vid before this one and while showerless, it sounds fine, with the shower on, it sounded very mumbly or muffled, so I turned her video on (first time watching this channel,) and listened to this video while in the shower, so kudos!
As a new youtuber myself, this was a really helpful video! it was great hearing your story during your beginning of the channel; really inspires me to keep going with my journey and not giving up. thanks for the tips!
Really helpful video for someone hesitant to start their YT journey. Thank you for the encouragement and your English is perfectly fine and not overly complicated by Ai, it's natural easily understood by someone like myself
Thank you Ruri,Was thinking about starting a YT channel and I believe this channel is perfect for a begginer you excellently covered all the things
Wow you're amazing for not giving up. The people who made fun of you are stupid. Good job for not listening to them. You've inspired me.
Small creators we got this 💪. Let's keep pushing, showing love and support ❤❤❤
5:01 gratitude I'm sending much love light unity and respect to all y'all appreciate every single one of you keep on shining be a light in the darkness
The idea of solving your targeted avatar problem was Great, Thank you
Omg..you are absolutely adorable and your tips and advice are fantastic and delivered in such a natural, genuine way.
Thanks so much for the tips Ruri. Wish us all luck!
Just wanted to comment. I have watched almost half of your very wonderfully presented podcast as someone who is new to my TH-cam channel. Thanks for some insight. Great work. Helping your family in need was very admirable for you to continue this trajectory online. Kudos! Kudos
Fellow future youtubers, let's go!
Recently I have also started about a week ago my YT shorts about Editing tips and tricks by thinking the same that nobody will watch my first video and learned that we just need to take the first step.
The harsh reality is , millions will start but only a few hundreds may succeed!
Become one of the 100 people that succeed
It's more than a few hundred
@@Litoze Or, you know.. commit to something more likely to succeed with better odds.
Not gonna lie but this is true
Well, gotta try harder and do more without giving up ;)
I respectfully disagree. If you learn every aspect of what a successful TH-camr does (Retention, video shots, ideas, editing, selecting the right music, etc), I believe everyone can be successful. The only people who aren't successful is not evolving in these skills, hitting a wall, and giving up. I barely got to 100 subscribers and I know my videos are HORRIBLE. But with that said, there's A LOT of room to improve. Don't give up guys! Learn process. Evolve in each video. Write down notes and incorporate to next videos. I know that's what I NEED to be doing! We will grow! And that's a FACT
TH-cam is like witchcraft - how did it know I needed her specifically? This video is fantastic. I like that she's blunt, too.
For me finding a niche is being definitely the most challenging thing to do, just like you I'm on my 5th attempt 😅I wanted to do ALL my research first, truly understanding youtube and how it works. After many videos and lots of notes I decided to start over again by rethinking who I'm talking to? And why? I know what I'm good at, but still don't know how to apply that in content creation, I want to create content in the gaming genre because gaming is my hobby, and finding a niche that I really like and actually works mixed with what I'm good at is confusing. Maybe I have to ask myself those questions again, and with the answers, consider if that genre is the correct choice for my content to begin with. What a challenge, but without your videos and your suggestions I wouldn't have any idea of what to do, thank you so much Ruri
Excellent point!!! Having something to say might not be what we see across all channels but surely is a solid way to be honest with yourself and the audience while ensuring a long lasting growth of one's channel. It live beyond sudden trends. In my opinion. Thanks for the tips/lesson and Cheers!!
This human is adorable and must be protected at all costs.
Wort wort wort
and so are you, adorable human being, much like me.
@@grandiosa86 🥺
I am a small channel, but I'm not gonna give up, because you are motivating me a lot ♡, especially when you showed your first videos... that encouraged me that not everything happens overnight 🙈 you are such a role model 🫶 thanks for this video (btw: love your necklace )
