I just created my Art Channel 3 weeks ago with now 80 subscribers. Working so hard on it to provide value to people and share my knowledge I wish all small Channels big success 🌺
Wow. You are doing a great job. You are at 977 subs now, and you have over 14k views of this video. You will grow fast soon. I can see you are authentic as Ali Abdaal is, and you do very good quality videos. Keep going.
I was about to switched to another video...thank God I did'nt!!! This video in its totality ease a new wannabe TH-cam content creator's mind and nerves. Your experiences and your story telling gripped me and help me to focus moving forward. Thanks for sharing!
Mr. King, sir, you have the perfect English accent. Your voice alone is why you should be on TH-cam….voice-overs, narrations, documentaries, you have the premium accent for content
@StephaniaAlexandra congrats 👏 💖 I'm almost there too at 91. You gained a subscriber from me. 1 really makes a difference indeed. EVERYONE'S SUPPORT makes a difference 💯
3 weeks in I can easily see how this can be become so stressful if you're trying to make money from TH-cam. For me I'm just doing this for fun because mine is entertaining with me and my 21 cats. So this doesn't really apply to me except I do get excited with every new subscriber. I am already stressing about what video can I do next. I am very nervous about my first live I've never been the spotlight girl.
also new to youtube after starting with writing online, also under 200 subs, so i felt this. congrats on taking the first leap and then keeping up with it! it takes a lot of discipline to show up for that long 👏
Writing always felt 10x easier than showing up on camera. But being on camera has taught me 10x more. Good luck on your journey, hoping to see growth together!
Hi, I am in the same boat as you. I’ve been working on TH-cam. I want to be a full time creator so I can get the financial freedom I crave. I want to travel and share my experiences with people. I want to apply what I learned into whatever business adventures I do in the future.
This resonates so much - the fear of being on camera and looking like an idiot strikes a chord with me. You look and sound great. I have subscribed and hope your channel grows. I have wanted to start a channel for quite some time, fear of looking and sounding stupid, not having anything meaningful to say etc etc etc holds me back. And yet so many people have told me that I have wonderful and exciting stories to share due to my work as a private client lawyer dealing with real-life tragic deaths, family fall-outs and the rest. Just yesterday (again) someone said these I could sell my stories - they are mind-boggling and based in reality.
Great video and thank you for making it. I struggled with the same thing and I am just now getting started. I've had my channel for some years but hated how I looked on camera, so I stopped doing them. Now I am finally getting back to them. Thanks for the confirmation my friend. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your message! I have 15 subscribers, mostly friends and family members 😅 I have a ĺot of fun making the videos though. Learning so much in the process 😊
Thank you for sharing. This resonates with me as a new TH-camr myself. I have a hard time infront of the camera but have so much to share😅 I subscribed! I have a hiking/travel channel but like you want it authentic to whom I am.
My experience has been that consistently showing up, and saying what I want to say (not why I think the algo wants me to say) has developed my personality and natural ability in front of camera. I’m sure you will have a successful journey 🙏
Congrats on 853 subs 2 months after this video was posted your subs sky rocketed! This is definitely motivation to keep going and the reason why staying consistent is so important. Thank you for this video.
You never know when things are about to take off. Gotta keep making videos for the love of the game and eventually something catches attention. I’m sure you’ll find the same! Appreciate the kind words
Just popped up on my recommend page. Great video and totally relate to feeling burnt out with creating videos. Thanks for sharing! You have a new subscriber in me 😀
"... it's about pushing out of my comfort zone ..." Absolutely. It's such important work you're doing. Not just for yourself, but for those of us watching and listening. I was really interested in what you said: you started to not be in it for the joy and went into a 4-month break from filming. Everything that you're saying is resonating with my own creative process. You also validated my view about all the "experts" out there. We don't necessarily need to go by everything they say. Thank you so much for your channel. New subscriber.
Thanks so much for the kind words means a lot. I think you’re the true expert in your channel - because you know what you enjoy, what you’re passionate about, what you really want. Listening to myself is making me better. It’s not an easy journey but it’s totally worth it - happy to have you here!
Man, dont say that you are shy of camera!! In this video, you have done extremely well sans any anxiety. In my case, I desparately wanna get into making YT videos but lack of editing knowledge holding me back for a long while now. Keeping fingers crossed I should start sometime sooner than later and share my passion to the whole world
The new trend for TH-cam videos is now minimal editing. There's one guy who blew up and he never edits his videos. He just films himself in his car talking sort of train of consciousness. With all the AI videos hitting, people are liking authenticity more than production value.
@@SilentlyAdulting But am a big fan of AI not doing all the stuff there should always be human touch. EoD its the human contingent who are gonna enjoy all these gimmicks in the world, right?
@@ArunKumar-vd6tk What I was saying is that possibly because of AI, people are wanting less editing and more authenticity in videos. Raw, unscripted people are more real. They're anti-AI.
It popped up on my main page (i'm from Poland) and i really enjoyed it. Also we both are on almost the same place atm 😁 Let's keep going and we will eventually get there!!! 😎👌 STAY WELL!
Well done for sticking at it. I’m at 24 subs, it’s slow and I still don’t feel confident but I keep trying. I’m quite lonely, and so taking to a camera is like an outlet for me. I just need to give more value so people WANT to watch me
And they will want to watch you over time. You’re doing the right thing by publishing before your delivery is perfect. Recording videos is amazing practice
@@EbanGeorge stay confident. You just gained a subscriber ❤️ I'm a new TH-camr who is humiliating herself on her channel. And that alone takes confidence 😆
I love sharing my journey with other people, and I use an iPhone in my car. So far I’ve got 165 subscribers, and I really enjoy interacting! Couldn’t agree more, this is for fun! I wish you all the best, and thank you for sharing.
Pretty sure this will help a lot of people, me included . I really was motivated and had a lot of ideas on what to talk about, after around 1-2 years I finally started, until then I was too afraid, but when I started I got easily overwhelmed by camera setup, editing, b-roll stock footage, thumbnails and scripts .. and I really got anxious and thought "ok this might be more about setup and scripting ideas but there's no place for my own ideas", even if I knew this might not be true . Videos like this one make me realize it's worth it to keep going, so thank you James !
Thanks so much for this share, it’s really powerful. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by these flashy things we think we need. At the end of the day, TH-cam is about showing up in front of the camera, being yourself, and telling an interesting story. The rest is all noise. Good luck on your next steps ❤️
Wow! This makes so much sense. Thank you for this. I started my Channel back in 2020 and have 589 subs. I niched down to making jewellery, charity shop hauls, and also tutorials. My views have dropped, but i am now uploading every Saturday and just going to enjoy making jewellery on camera and see how it goes. I have also anxiety on camera and some of my videos i have been on camera, but recently reverted back to just showing making rather than talking or even showing the charity shop jewellery on camera. But thank you for your video and it has given me that boost to again come out of my comfort zone and enjoy creating even more. Elly.
I just hit 10 subscribers today I'm enjoying this journey and i will try best to get better equipment to improve my filming. Tq you for sharing great information .
I also always thought my voice sounded awful. Couple of months ago I finally started my TH-cam channel and I am so glad that I did! I can second everything that you are saying!
Wow thank you for this video, felt like you were talking to me. I just started my channel and i was beginning to get overwhelmed with not having subscribers after i upload. I have been encouraged to keep pushing and never give up by this your video, and i won't stop, even when the subscribers ain't coming. Your videos are really good., Weldone. I just subscribed.
Thanks so much for sharing this I feel humbled. I hope you find it within yourself to keep producing content that feels authentic and meaningful to you - and eventually your audience will find you ☀️🙏
Congratulations! I see that you crossed 800 subs. Keep growing🎉. I am glad that you talked about balancing family and work life. Something very important. New subscriber from Nagaland, a small North Eastern part of India.
Go you! Glad to see videos like this. I'm one month into youtube (haven't even told friends and family about my channel), but I'm truly enjoying myself. And seeing videos like this is super encouraging. Subscribed...looking forward to more :)
Thank you for this wonderful and straight from the heart video. It was exactly the message that needed to be heard. It is shocking that with this quality performance, you're not at 1M subs. However, you will be, I'm sure. Keep doing so amazingly! 👏🏼
Resonate so much with this message- I've had a small go at TH-cam but then always given up. I feel inspired to get back to it and start again. thanks James
Well done mate, a lot of what you're saying hits home for me. Spot on with your delivery, there'd be no way to tell you've struggled with being on camera in the past.
Nice video, each milestone is encouraging. TH-cam absolutely great for helping with communication skills. Ive benefited greatly from it too. Keep going youre doing 👍
Confidence is the biggest win in my life from this channel! Along with learning how to be myself - which is harder than we often think! Thanks for the kind words
Well presented! Your conviction comes through loud and clear. You and I are acquiring a skill set that is novel and unprecedented. Keep up the good work.
Awesome job James, you’ll continue to do great. I’m in the early stages of the process and trying not to get ahead of myself. I’m overthinking everything 😂. I’m just posting shorts for now, eventually go into longer form stuff.
I get what you’re saying about overthinking. My issue has been the more I overthink, the less authentic I am - and that results in burnout or frustration. Good luck finding your path here!
Well said James. And super proud of you for being raw, vulnerable and honest. All the best for your journey! I'm on the same path. Restarting my TH-cam journey. Happy to connect with you!
Thanks for the kind words and good luck on your TH-cam journey!! It’s taught me so many lessons about life - and about myself. I’m sure you’re finding it the same 😊
Thank you - knowing someone else has been there really helps. I'm struggling to make my first video (with all of the doubts and self-criticism you describe!) so watching this has really helped me to think building a TH-cam channel is actually possible.
Great content. It puts into words what I've been doing for a couple of months now. I have a channel, but, no videos and no viewers, no subscribers, yet. (Yes I'm very insecure also.) I'm learning to edit (but, not very far along on that) I have been watching videos about starting up and videos just to see how others do it. No script yet, however, lots of ideas. This week I finally got sound recording to actually work, so .... now I have sound, I have a location and I have a pretty good camera (bought years ago). I am worried about the future and making enough videos that I'll actually make money which creates a whole set of record-keeping and tax issues (along with some tax-reducing practices. since I'm in the US). This is a much needed video. Keep doing them.
Wow what a great video. I have been ideating about a second youtub channel Ive been wanting to start, but have felt stuck in perfectionism and imposter syndrome over the content I passionately want to share. Seeing your video made me realize that it doesn't have to be "perfect" and that I don't have to already be "successful" or be an authoirty on the subject that I am wanting to share. I just have to have a little more knowlege, and be a little further down the road on the journey than the person I am sharing with. That is transformational. Thank you. ❤
Thanks so much for sharing. This is a powerful message. It’s my least ‘perfect’ videos that have performed the best. It’s also more aligned with my true authentic self
Very honest & helpful! I’m a senior citizen who’s just toying with starting a channel. I enjoy the freedom of retirement & don’t want to get plugged back into the pressure of having to do something all the time. I might think about an every 2 week posting, however. You don’t seem camera shy & have a nice presentation. I just subbed so hope that helps you grow! Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words appreciate you. It can feel like a treadmill if you’re not careful! Important to remember your priorities and pace yourself. We often overextend ourselves and TH-cam can feel like a series of stressful deadlines
Great information man! Thank you so much. Completely agree & Subscribed! I just started a channel this year myself and I love hearing information and getting help from other content creators. So Thank You and God Bless! May we all get after it and do the work to follow our passions & Dreams!🙏
Feeling inspired from your comment and thanks for joining me on this journey. I hope you can find joy in creating videos and inspire others to live their best lives as well.
Love your message and your energy! I am still in the process of opening my YT channel. Hope it will be soon🤞 Keep up the good work and I wish you all the best🍀
Well done, this is the second video like this I have seen since yesterday and I love the motivational message. I'm grateful for the knowledge I've been given to my 100 subscribers. I tried TH-cam before and many blogs and this time it feels like this is it. Sending motivation and love to all who read this. We've got this ❤ into the freedom lifestyle
I am a new youtuber and I like the way that you shared your experiences and the lessons that you've learned. I know it takes a lot of time, effort and mental energy to create a video. It is best to make videos about the things that one likes and then share it with the world. That way, work will not feel like work. 😊 Creating and sharing content that may help people is always rewarding... spiritually and mentally, if not financially.
Business is great - money is great - but changing lives is another level. We’re blessed to have this platform to make that happen at scale. Really want to take advantage of that. I truly believe we all have value to share
James iv been watching you since you started and youre now doing very well . Congratulations to you. You are the reason i will keep at it until my channel starts showing progress . xo
Appreciate the video. It helps to see other people barely ahead of me. It starts to seem, sometimes, that everyone hit a million subs from day one. It's hard to watch the numbers barely move. Just trying to post what i want to post and hope it finds its way to an audience at some point.
People want quick success - so they’re likely to click on titles promising instant results. The reality is that it takes 99.9% of people YEARS to be successful in any endeavour - including TH-cam
This is amazing! Good for you to face your fears. I just started a couple of months ago and am working towards 100 subscribers. So much to learn, and so challenging (for me, anyway). This is encouraging, however. Keep on keeping on! 👏
I just hit 3 subscribers today, I'm already enjoying my TH-cam journey.

We started our channel about a month ago and are loving it! It’s a lot of work but it’s worth it. Good luck to all the new channels!
I started creating videos at the start of the year, just hit 236000 subs, it's not a huge following but I'm still proud of it. Great video James 👌
I was about to switched to another video...thank God I did'nt!!! This video in its totality ease a new wannabe TH-cam content creator's mind and nerves. Your experiences and your story telling gripped me and help me to focus moving forward. Thanks for sharing!
Same!
Just keep pumping out videos... it's like this guys:
Your phone is enough.
TH-cam will find your audience.
Keep going brother!
Great advice. It’s about not overthinking it, trusting the process, and letting things come good over time
Keep going 💪
Oh wow this is what I needed thank you ❤

Glad to hear this message means a lot. If the passion is there I’m sure you can make it work - in time 😊
Well done mate, a lot of what you're saying hits home for me. Spot on with your delivery, there'd be no way to tell you've struggled with being on camera in the past.
Appreciate the kind words, feel blessed and grateful for you 🙏
Nice video, each milestone is encouraging. TH-cam absolutely great for helping with communication skills. Ive benefited greatly from it too. Keep going youre doing 👍
Confidence is the biggest win in my life from this channel! Along with learning how to be myself - which is harder than we often think! Thanks for the kind words
@@thecoachingmovement absolutely

Well presented! Your conviction comes through loud and clear. You and I are acquiring a skill set that is novel and unprecedented. Keep up the good work.
This is a priceless learning experience. Keep going!
Thanks James!
Thanks for being here on this journey 🙌🙌🎉
Keep going, there's a light at the end of the tunnel !
Awesome job James, you’ll continue to do great. I’m in the early stages of the process and trying not to get ahead of myself. I’m overthinking everything 😂. I’m just posting shorts for now, eventually go into longer form stuff.
I get what you’re saying about overthinking. My issue has been the more I overthink, the less authentic I am - and that results in burnout or frustration. Good luck finding your path here!
Well said James. And super proud of you for being raw, vulnerable and honest. All the best for your journey!
I'm on the same path. Restarting my TH-cam journey. Happy to connect with you!
Thanks for the kind words and good luck on your TH-cam journey!! It’s taught me so many lessons about life - and about myself. I’m sure you’re finding it the same 😊
Thank you - knowing someone else has been there really helps. I'm struggling to make my first video (with all of the doubts and self-criticism you describe!) so watching this has really helped me to think building a TH-cam channel is actually possible.
Great tips. Life happened & I left YT 10 years ago, now back at it. Definitely looking to grow it now.
Great content. It puts into words what I've been doing for a couple of months now. I have a channel, but, no videos and no viewers, no subscribers, yet. (Yes I'm very insecure also.) I'm learning to edit (but, not very far along on that) I have been watching videos about starting up and videos just to see how others do it. No script yet, however, lots of ideas. This week I finally got sound recording to actually work, so .... now I have sound, I have a location and I have a pretty good camera (bought years ago). I am worried about the future and making enough videos that I'll actually make money which creates a whole set of record-keeping and tax issues (along with some tax-reducing practices. since I'm in the US). This is a much needed video. Keep doing them.
You’re doing great
I wish you big success 🎉
Thankyou so much 🙏🙏 appreciate it
As another small channel, I look forward to seeing your growth. All the best brother. 🙏
Appreciate you mate! Happy to be on this journey together 🙏🤩
As another newborn channel, I look forward to seeing you grow, too.
Looking forward to seeing our growth too! I'm a starter like you and you got yourself a new subscriber❤
Thank you for your encouragement. Less than 200 subs. I have a faceless kids channel. Its so difficult.
It’s difficult but worth it! Wishing you so much success
@@thecoachingmovement Thank you. Hope we all come up.
Me too!! 🎉
Wow what a great video. I have been ideating about a second youtub channel Ive been wanting to start, but have felt stuck in perfectionism and imposter syndrome over the content I passionately want to share. Seeing your video made me realize that it doesn't have to be "perfect" and that I don't have to already be "successful" or be an authoirty on the subject that I am wanting to share. I just have to have a little more knowlege, and be a little further down the road on the journey than the person I am sharing with. That is transformational. Thank you. ❤
Thanks so much for sharing. This is a powerful message. It’s my least ‘perfect’ videos that have performed the best. It’s also more aligned with my true authentic self
Fantastic video buddy! Very relatable. Im at a similar stage to you. Your authenticity shines through, so you’ve gained another subscriber in me ✅
Thanks for the kind words and good luck on your journey!!
Very honest & helpful! I’m a senior citizen who’s just toying with starting a channel. I enjoy the freedom of retirement & don’t want to get plugged back into the pressure of having to do something all the time. I might think about an every 2 week posting, however. You don’t seem camera shy & have a nice presentation. I just subbed so hope that helps you grow! Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words appreciate you. It can feel like a treadmill if you’re not careful! Important to remember your priorities and pace yourself. We often overextend ourselves and TH-cam can feel like a series of stressful deadlines
I just subscribed! I look forward to watching your videos!
Thanks so much 🙏😊 appreciate you joining me on the journey
Great information man! Thank you so much. Completely agree & Subscribed! I just started a channel this year myself and I love hearing information and getting help from other content creators. So Thank You and God Bless! May we all get after it and do the work to follow our passions & Dreams!🙏
Feeling inspired from your comment and thanks for joining me on this journey. I hope you can find joy in creating videos and inspire others to live their best lives as well.
@@thecoachingmovement Of course, and thank you!
Solid advice, congrats on your first video to gain some real traction. TH-cam is a grind and a marathon for sure. Along with lots of trail and error.
Yes! My experience is trial and error works for growth in most areas of life. For me, I often learn best by doing
Great video! Very happy with my 20 subs and making the videos I would like to watch 😊
New subscriber. You’re authentic and relatable.
Appreciate the kind words - means so much to me
Love your message and your energy! I am still in the process of opening my YT channel. Hope it will be soon🤞
Keep up the good work and I wish you all the best🍀
Hoping you get your channel moving soon!! Appreciate your words 🙏🙏
Great video. Love your honesty and well done 👏🙏
Well done, this is the second video like this I have seen since yesterday and I love the motivational message. I'm grateful for the knowledge I've been given to my 100 subscribers. I tried TH-cam before and many blogs and this time it feels like this is it. Sending motivation and love to all who read this. We've got this ❤ into the freedom lifestyle
We’re all in this together! Love this community - so inspiring. Good luck on your journey!!
Fight on man, you got this!
Appreciate you!
Keep pushing
I am a new youtuber and I like the way that you shared your experiences and the lessons that you've learned. I know it takes a lot of time, effort and mental energy to create a video. It is best to make videos about the things that one likes and then share it with the world. That way, work will not feel like work. 😊
Creating and sharing content that may help people is always rewarding... spiritually and mentally, if not financially.
Business is great - money is great - but changing lives is another level. We’re blessed to have this platform to make that happen at scale. Really want to take advantage of that. I truly believe we all have value to share
James iv been watching you since you started and youre now doing very well . Congratulations to you. You are the reason i will keep at it until my channel starts showing progress . xo
What a wholesome and honest video I was just recommended. You have a lovely manner and I loved the messages you're spreading. Good luck to you.
Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
This meant a lot. I am very introverted as well. Just started my channel about nature and it’s scary to put yourself out there.
It is!! But also so rewarding. Learned more about myself here than most other places
@@thecoachingmovement Thank you for the motivation to overcome my fears. ❤️
Keep going! I have subscribed and will be following your journey. Appreciated your authenticity!
Thanks for taking this journey with me 🙏 looking forward to growing together
I’m just starting out. I get super nervous recording too. I wish I was more consistent. I like your video so far ;)
You're doing a great job. I resonate with with your thoughts and experiences.
Thanks for the kind words and appreciate you. I hope you’re finding success in your journey
More than doubled your subscribers in a month - keep at it!
Thanks so much and thanks for being here!
Appreciate the video. It helps to see other people barely ahead of me. It starts to seem, sometimes, that everyone hit a million subs from day one. It's hard to watch the numbers barely move. Just trying to post what i want to post and hope it finds its way to an audience at some point.
People want quick success - so they’re likely to click on titles promising instant results. The reality is that it takes 99.9% of people YEARS to be successful in any endeavour - including TH-cam
Fab video, well done!! So much value here 👌
I really appreciate this comment - means a lot to me! Genuinely want to help as many people as possible 🙏
This is amazing! Good for you to face your fears. I just started a couple of months ago and am working towards 100 subscribers. So much to learn, and so challenging (for me, anyway). This is encouraging, however. Keep on keeping on! 👏
Love this video, keep it flowing !
Thankyou 🙏🙏 your comment inspires me to keep flowing
Your words about looks and voice is all me 😊😊
Thanks for sharing - we’re all in the same boat!
Great work 🎉your way past 200 🎉🎉 I’m heading close to 200 myself now ❤
Good luck on your journey!! I hope you keep making the progress you deserve
Good luck everyone!
I’m just starting out too. You have my support ❤
We’re all in this together :)
Nice
