Read books guys ! I was never a fan of books, so I was looking for something short like Fast Track to Fortune by Nathan West. It literally changed my view on money and work. Now, I'm reading book after book, and I can't stop learning! Psychology of Money is also amazing if you have a bit more time
There is bound to be some sort of repetition and that is inevitable and it is also good because I like to hear things repeatedly in a variety of contexts to aid my learning….
Honestly, everytime I thought about starting a TH-cam Channel, you've dropped either on the same day or the same week a video about TH-cam. It is not a coincidence anymore and I am tired of thinking... Time to start my journey. Thank you Ali
You are my go-to for TH-cam tips and the biggest reason my little channel exists. It's been a dream for over 15 years to just make content and out it out there but I've kept putting it off thinking I'd never be good enough to make anything worth watching. Thank you for giving me reason to believe in myself enough to just go for it.
Hi whachuupto I can save your time & I can grow your channel very fast because I am a professional video editor and graphic designer. If anyone wants to get video editing or thumbnail design done from me then comment me.

Thank you, Ali. You are one of the reasons I started my TH-cam channel💜 and this video really helped me set a vision. I will work consistently toward the goal✨️
You’re the reason I started TH-cam Ali! 6 months in with almost 500 subscribers - slow & steady, learning and growing with every video!

I started my YT channel recently; what you've said is so insightful! I love how it's all explained well in short and clear bits. I will organise my content creation so it's more efficient and use the tips you've mentioned to make it easier to manage and create so I don't fall behind. Great work Ali! 😄
This video effectively dismantles the idea of TH-cam as a guaranteed path to passive income, instead advocating for intrinsic motivation and a realistic, time-efficient approach to content creation.
Hi everyone, I work full time, have an etsy shop on top of my full time and I also do TH-cam. I love everything I do so it makes it easier to put in the time at my job, etsy and TH-cam. When I do TH-cam videos is my “relaxing time”. I don’t worry about views, subs etc. If you want to put your time on TH-cam make sure it’s bringing you happiness 🤗😘
tbh this is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while! I’m always searching for videos like this, to have an idea how to really manage yt while working fulltime. great vid!
This video is GOLD! Thank you so much, Ali, for the much muchhhhh needed advice and for literally breaking down the hours for so many of us who just can't seem to understand how to this TH-cam thing, despite quite desperately wanted to do it.
Thanks for this video Ali! I resonate in the “Starting a YT channel even if it will never pay money”. I recently started a YT channel as a funny way to capture memories with my cat. Every new subscriber brings joy even thought I know the channel will never monetize. 😊
I stopped producing TH-cam videos after my son was born. I did find time besides my fulltime job by treating TH-cam as a normal hobby. People find time to go to the gym or play video games. So just use this time for TH-cam. Having a child makes this process a lot harder. I just can't do it anymore without dismissing other hobbies I have to relax. What I've learned doing my videos, I hate the filming part the most. Mostly because I didn't have fixed setup and had to set up lights, cameras, tune in the settings and everything from scratch every single time. Editing and scripting was a lot of fun and I miss this part. But the actual filming act was never fun. My advide, find a way to have "ready to go" setup to record your videos. Making the barrier to start recording as small as possible is key to stay motivated. At least that's how I see it.
Been sitting around for years to start my TH-cam channel & finally said "you know what, just freaken do it" I'm never gunna be FULLY ready but I'm excited to learn as I go 🤩 Thank you for your encouraging videos Ali!
TH-cam is the LEAST passive thing on the planet. You work literally every single minute of the waking day thinking about thumbnail strategy, script writing, better hooks, storytelling, lighting, better audio, crafting better titles. I started a youtube channel because I LOVE crafting videos. After 2 years of working 70 hours per week….I’m finally making a small income. I absolutely love it.
Thanks so much, Ali. This video came at the perfect time for me. I'm about to start my final year of medical school, where I'll be doing my social service, and I wanted to hear from someone who's managed to balance their TH-cam channel and work. I create TH-cam videos about physiology, and what you said really resonated with me. When I started on TH-cam, I never thought I could make money doing what I love-teaching. I just knew my way of explaining things with animated illustrations could help a lot of people, and it shouldn't just sit on my computer or be seen by only a few at my school. I believed in myself and my talent, and I went for it. It's amazing to see that TH-cam rewards you for that
Hi drdanielrodriguez I can save your time & I can grow your channel very fast because I am a professional video editor and graphic designer. If anyone wants to get video editing or thumbnail design done from me then comment me.
You released this video very timely! I started my own channel, and the work began to dramatically strengthen its presence. I'm tired, I'm going to shoot a new video and here's your gift). Thank you very much! 🙏
Thanks Ali. To be honest, I finish the financial free video first then coming here haha. Again, appreciate all your efforts and videos, and I just finish the FASTLANE book this week. I know that deep in my heart, I will start my business sooner or later. That gave a very clear guidelines where to get started. I'm planning to open a YT channel and film most of the process on how I build my business, from ground to hopefully millions. I'm not planning to make any money out of the channel. No matter my business success or not, I hope it can help people who want to start and get a real idea how it will be. The channel will also be my documentary for my 1 year old. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and all the best!
i don't know why Ali's video just showed up in my feed but i needed this insight today. I've been putting off starting a channel for several reasons: so many others are so successful, i will never succeed, i don't have the motivation to start it up, etc... but its not about the outcome and the money at first. its about the purpose. the meaning of what i can bring as a source of value to the world. So, thanks Ali :)
I started following Ali last year because I came across a video of him talking about starting a website. I was kinda lost at that time, and i was trying to find something that I can look forward to in doing and so i decided that I wanted to write (blogging) and start my own website. I started to post on Quora instead since it is one of the platforms that Ali recommended lol along with Medium and others. My 3rd post on that platform went viral and that gave me a realization that if I can make something go viral then what if I try my luck with youtube? I created my TH-cam channel in January this year and started posting videos. It wasn't until the second half of the year that I began to see (I guess) some traction on my channel. Thank you so much Ali for your videos. You are such a gem and I always look forward to your videos because I learn so much from you and love your voice too! Keep helping others because I know you will continue to touch many lives with your work. :))
I like this video a lot. Tons of information, one thing I particularly like is that you just don’t give general advice, but try to do as if you were starting and go through the whole thought process out loud. That was great
Really, man you are the reason for my own TH-cam channel ✨. You made me realise how to do Content Creation while studying as a full time student. You are one of the best Content Creators in TH-cam man ❤
I was just doing one video a week for several months around After Effects tutorials. Over a period a time, I found that my output goal took precedence to where I felt that my tutorials weren't as strong as they once were. The lesson I learned from this is to identify a niche and work on that specifically to grow. I had a handful of videos do well over Vox-style editing. My focus going forward will most likely be in that realm since my other tutorials around different editing styles weren't as impactful.
Can't believe I finally started my channel, to share things I love: my PhD studying life, fitness & workout, and also healthy diet. Good luck to everyone who has also started their channel!
I love this video - I watched so many of your TH-cam Videos and it really helped and inspired m to start my own channel. Im a 23 Year Old Interior Design Student and decided to start a YT Channel on explaining why and how great Interior Designs work and break them down for others. xx Jane
Absolutely loved this video, Ali! Your insights on balancing a full-time job with TH-cam are incredibly helpful. I appreciate how you break down the goal-setting process and emphasize the importance of input goals. It's inspiring to see how you grew your channel while managing a demanding career. Excited to check out your 7-day crash course! Keep up the amazing work! 🚀
I launched my TH-cam channel this year while working a full-time job. It's challenging, but having a solid system truly makes a difference! Very nice video 💪
Great video! I learned a lot from this video. The main idea is to do something you’re truly passionate about. I saw a video of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates together answering questions from other people, and someone brought something along the lines of if being passionate about a business is important. And Steve Jobs answered whatever it is that you’re wanting to make a business out of it, you absolutely have to be passionate about it. If you’re not, you’ll eventually quit. You’ll eventually burn out and your body will give up.
I have been contemplating to pen down my process of streamlining TH-cam videos but wasn't actively working on it, and then THIS VIDEO came up on my homepage which has actually done my work for me. Thanks for this.
Hi toubaseher I can save your time & I can grow your channel very fast because I am a professional video editor and graphic designer. If anyone wants to get video editing or thumbnail design done from me then comment me.
Starting new channel can be really tough if you don't plan everything ahead. I knew I couldn't afford to waste months trying to get noticed by just a handful of people. Instead of spending months to get few hundred subscribers, I found how to get organic growth immediately (by using a bit of Fame-ster of course). Ever since I started using this tool, my channel blew up and I realized that people tend to focus on numbers when searching for content. Having a low subscriber count often means being overlooked, even if your content is top-notch...
25:13 Yes, I will still do it even though I would never make money from it. I started my channel as many, to make money, but after almost 2 years now and getting over 600 subs (I was not consistent in posting)... the comments from viewers, in many cases thanking me for the videos, sharing their experiences... it is just so nice feeling that at this point I want to keep doing this even if doesn't make money at all. TH-cam is beautiful, really changes your life, for good.
You are an inspiration Ali! You are honest, you are hardworking, you love sharing knowledge and you are a great story teller. In the see of shady influencers spreading lies to make money, you have hold on to being your authentic self. Best of luck and keep inspiring millions of people like me who believe that an honest approach to sharing knowledge can still succeed against all the shady ones out there. In case I succeed in this genuine influencer journey ever, will definitely meet you in person someday to thank you. If I failed, at least I tried 😎
I don’t think it’s dumb at all to edit your own videos. Your videos inspire me so much to create content but with every video you publish I start to feel more alienated by what you say. I’ve started a TH-cam channel (not this account) because I enjoy creating content and would love to do it full time. Also it would give me more freedom and allow me to spend more time with my family. So naturally a big objective of my channel is to eventually be able to bring in some form of income to enable me to do just that. I don’t think it’s a bad reason to get into TH-cam if there’s a chance it would give me that freedom. Like that gentleman who asked the question, I too have hardly any time due to my job and a family. This video offered some good advice which I’m grateful for but I can’t help but feel a bit of a sting with one or two of your comments. Sorry Ali.
Thank you for this video. I have been trying for 6 years, and it has been a journey. my biggest challenge has been finding a niche, and so I think if you can find the niche, you are already on the path. This process is the next step. some people are good at finding a niche I for some reason want to talk to everyone.
Great timing for this video. Was looking for something like this haha. Also, the points and methods shown in this video were insightful, and inspiring and answered a lot of my questions. Thank you for your amazing work as always.
Thanks Ali! Also recently started a TH-cam channel. It is great to talk about your interests and learn skills along the way. Hopefully this potentially helps at least one person in the world. Best, Anthonie
Well, after watching over 100.000 TH-cam videos and really contemplating if I have anything of value to say this video really pushed me to try and start, so I posted my first video talking exactly on how to find value in watching a lot of TH-cam. Full circle, I know 😂😂 The thing that I love here is that you are always realistic with the results. A lot of times when I watch other people they are always like how to get 100k views on first video, get monetized in 3 days, and so on... It is a journey, but If you find out that you love the process than, what is there to lose ?? I certainly find it extremely satisfying and fun to try and create good videos with ton of value.
It is a process. Just focus on daily incremental progress for the videos in however time you have. 2 hours per day, 1 hour, 5 minutes... Just focus on creating in that time.
In my case I started as a way to make money but I stayed for the process and now that I understand how it all works it's just so much more satisfying to create content then before. For example I noticed that most creators this year focus on editing their videos with a lot of transition's, B-roll footage, images, music, etc... And all to make their videos easier to watch and understand. So basically trying to keep viewers from getting bored 🥱 and skipping your videos. Even this video if you watch it from that angle you can see that he is mixing talking head scenes with images, and B-roll shots..... It's very interesting to me!
Hope all the new creators get to 1000 subs as soon as possible ! I never thought I would even get this far and now I’m almost there ! Don’t give up guys
Embarrassingly, I've been thinking about starting a YT channel for over 5 years now, and I keep putting it off. I've watched so many videos like this (including multiples of yours) and purchased the PTYA course. I'm starting to really internalize these lessons which I've seen over and over, and it makes the idea of actually starting less daunting. I feel silly for having squandered several years where I had lots of time to put into making videos. I'm about to start law school, so the timing isn't as ideal, but better now than waiting another 5 years. Thanks for continuing to make these videos with valuable, straight-forward lessons for getting started, especially as a busy person.
Não precisa esperar para começar, muita gente acharia interessante vlogs do seu cotidiano na faculdade de Direito. Eu também adiei por anos a idéia de ter um canal, mas decidi que esse ano seria o ano!
Another TH-camr with a full-time day job here! I'm probably not your target audience since I have a slow, not-focused-on-productivity approach to creative stuff, but this was an interesting watch (first video of yours that I've seen, funnily enough). The one thing that irks me is the idea of outsourcing one's editing as soon as possible - editing is my favourite part of creating a TH-cam video, I'd never give it away! The most rewarding thing about my journey as a TH-camr (my channel has been up for more than five years now) is seeing how much I've improved and continue to improve with my editing, so I like to spend all the time I need on it while making videos. Then again I have that luxury since TH-cam is a hobby for me, I don't need to make money from it and my sense of accomplishment and self-worth are not tied to how well my videos are doing. (also wow, you talk fast - a medical doctor thing maybe?)
VERY encouraging! I’ve slacked with my channel as I felt overwhelmed with what “people” suggested for me. I lost my love for it and got overwhelmed. I make videos because I love the camera and I love teaching. This is the reminder I needed to get back at it! Almost at 1000 subscribers. I can be in the 2.5% soon! 😜
I'm also a healthcare practitioner, working full time on the NHS while trying to "jump start" my channel and it's hard, but not inpossible. I guess the name of the game is: consistency, good content and time. But it's nice to see that's possible if you commit yourself, even when juggling a full time job.
Hey friends! Honestly, how are us smaller channels supposed to get anywhere when the big ones are boosting themselves with things like sem rush and social plus? It’s tough seeing all that effort go unnoticed. Wishing you all the best of luck! 😊
Everyday there are new creators making waves and making big money. There will be creators who aren't even born yet who will make themselves millionaires. Look for the possibilities and the opportunities.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us :) I am getting started on my hiking video venture on YT and this video really inspired me! To all those reading, keep it up!
Excellent, what a coincidence, i was struggling with this with this siutstion, ans here I have got the solutuion. Thanks for making it easier for us all.
Hey Ali! Thank you so much, I'm working as a doctor myself while building my TH-cam Channel and honestly you have to be super super motivated and driven to keep going. But you inspire me and I promised myself not to give up - so the only way is improvement.
@@MissJourdy it’s incredibly hard to achieve that and have proper content at the same time. I’ve been trying the vlaugust (vlog everyday in August) thing … and it’s gruesome! When 8h of the day are spent at the office, there’s little time left to be creative 😞
Great tips, thank you! TH-cam is one of several hobbies alongside my full-time job, and I hope to achieve a passive income in the long run and a more flexible work life.

I appreciate how you break down the goal-setting process and emphasize the importance of input goals. It's inspiring to see how you grew your channel while managing a demanding career. Excited to check out your 7-day crash course! Keep up the amazing work! 🚀
Your next video should be teaching us how you learned to flip that marker around your thumb!!! Looks pretty cool!
I launched my TH-cam channel this year while working a full-time job. It's challenging, but having a solid system truly makes a difference!
Very nice video 💪
Great video! I learned a lot from this video. The main idea is to do something you’re truly passionate about. I saw a video of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates together answering questions from other people, and someone brought something along the lines of if being passionate about a business is important. And Steve Jobs answered whatever it is that you’re wanting to make a business out of it, you absolutely have to be passionate about it. If you’re not, you’ll eventually quit. You’ll eventually burn out and your body will give up.
I have been contemplating to pen down my process of streamlining TH-cam videos but wasn't actively working on it, and then THIS VIDEO came up on my homepage which has actually done my work for me. Thanks for this.
Hi toubaseher I can save your time & I can grow your channel very fast because I am a professional video editor and graphic designer. If anyone wants to get video editing or thumbnail design done from me then comment me.
Starting new channel can be really tough if you don't plan everything ahead. I knew I couldn't afford to waste months trying to get noticed by just a handful of people. Instead of spending months to get few hundred subscribers, I found how to get organic growth immediately (by using a bit of Fame-ster of course). Ever since I started using this tool, my channel blew up and I realized that people tend to focus on numbers when searching for content. Having a low subscriber count often means being overlooked, even if your content is top-notch...
What's your channel?
@@collectiblesnrandomstuff544 🤣
Infelizmente isso é verdade. Até eu mesma, quando vou procurar por algum vídeo, acabo assistindo os que tem mais número de views 🥲
Dude you have 32 subscribers😕

Thank you. I started this channel a few months ago while going to university. Your tips are really helpful and motivating!
I have quite my job to become a full time TH-camr. I have passion for it so much. Thanks for this video! 🙏
I like that you've started with vision and purpose. It's the key to sticking to your goals! I do the same for helping people improve their health
25:13 Yes, I will still do it even though I would never make money from it. I started my channel as many, to make money, but after almost 2 years now and getting over 600 subs (I was not consistent in posting)... the comments from viewers, in many cases thanking me for the videos, sharing their experiences... it is just so nice feeling that at this point I want to keep doing this even if doesn't make money at all. TH-cam is beautiful, really changes your life, for good.
You are an inspiration Ali! You are honest, you are hardworking, you love sharing knowledge and you are a great story teller. In the see of shady influencers spreading lies to make money, you have hold on to being your authentic self. Best of luck and keep inspiring millions of people like me who believe that an honest approach to sharing knowledge can still succeed against all the shady ones out there. In case I succeed in this genuine influencer journey ever, will definitely meet you in person someday to thank you. If I failed, at least I tried 😎
Thank you! I've been editing my own videos for 4 years.... although I'm slowing getting better, I never thought to outsource the editing!
That's a fully power-packed advice. and your work determination is crazy
This is why I follow you, Ali. I started youtube because I wanted an outlet for my hobby (photo, video, editing)
I started my channel to simply document my life and use it like my personal video journal. We're growing slowly but surely ❤
I don’t think it’s dumb at all to edit your own videos.
Your videos inspire me so much to create content but with every video you publish I start to feel more alienated by what you say. I’ve started a TH-cam channel (not this account) because I enjoy creating content and would love to do it full time. Also it would give me more freedom and allow me to spend more time with my family. So naturally a big objective of my channel is to eventually be able to bring in some form of income to enable me to do just that. I don’t think it’s a bad reason to get into TH-cam if there’s a chance it would give me that freedom.
Like that gentleman who asked the question, I too have hardly any time due to my job and a family. This video offered some good advice which I’m grateful for but I can’t help but feel a bit of a sting with one or two of your comments. Sorry Ali.
Thank you for this video. I have been trying for 6 years, and it has been a journey. my biggest challenge has been finding a niche, and so I think if you can find the niche, you are already on the path. This process is the next step. some people are good at finding a niche I for some reason want to talk to everyone.
Started on this journey 3 months back and will continue to do so.. thank you for all the motivation and awesome tips!
Me too. I started a little less than three months ago. ❤
Great timing for this video. Was looking for something like this haha. Also, the points and methods shown in this video were insightful, and inspiring and answered a lot of my questions. Thank you for your amazing work as always.
Thanks Ali!
Also recently started a TH-cam channel. It is great to talk about your interests and learn skills along the way. Hopefully this potentially helps at least one person in the world.
Best,
Anthonie
Well, after watching over 100.000 TH-cam videos and really contemplating if I have anything of value to say this video really pushed me to try and start, so I posted my first video talking exactly on how to find value in watching a lot of TH-cam. Full circle, I know 😂😂 The thing that I love here is that you are always realistic with the results. A lot of times when I watch other people they are always like how to get 100k views on first video, get monetized in 3 days, and so on... It is a journey, but If you find out that you love the process than, what is there to lose ?? I certainly find it extremely satisfying and fun to try and create good videos with ton of value.
Good Luck !
It is a process. Just focus on daily incremental progress for the videos in however time you have. 2 hours per day, 1 hour, 5 minutes... Just focus on creating in that time.
In my case I started as a way to make money but I stayed for the process and now that I understand how it all works it's just so much more satisfying to create content then before. For example I noticed that most creators this year focus on editing their videos with a lot of transition's, B-roll footage, images, music, etc... And all to make their videos easier to watch and understand. So basically trying to keep viewers from getting bored 🥱 and skipping your videos. Even this video if you watch it from that angle you can see that he is mixing talking head scenes with images, and B-roll shots..... It's very interesting to me!
Thank you so much for making this, this brought so so much value to me! 🙏🥰
Hope all the new creators get to 1000 subs as soon as possible ! I never thought I would even get this far and now I’m almost there ! Don’t give up guys
Embarrassingly, I've been thinking about starting a YT channel for over 5 years now, and I keep putting it off. I've watched so many videos like this (including multiples of yours) and purchased the PTYA course. I'm starting to really internalize these lessons which I've seen over and over, and it makes the idea of actually starting less daunting. I feel silly for having squandered several years where I had lots of time to put into making videos. I'm about to start law school, so the timing isn't as ideal, but better now than waiting another 5 years. Thanks for continuing to make these videos with valuable, straight-forward lessons for getting started, especially as a busy person.
Não precisa esperar para começar, muita gente acharia interessante vlogs do seu cotidiano na faculdade de Direito. Eu também adiei por anos a idéia de ter um canal, mas decidi que esse ano seria o ano!
Doing a full time job and just posted my first TH-cam video. Thank you for this video! Love how this video found me ❤
I love how Ali have a video on every thing I'm struggling with
You've created very helpful video to grow a new channel. Thank you!
Really love this approach to explaining the steps Ali 🙏🏻
That pen flip at 3:09 is so satisfying 👌🏾
Thank you for pointing that out, can confirm very satisfying indeed
😁😁
It's cool
this is very helpful! it takes me soooo long to write/script and thats the part I dread. Will use your tips TY
Im new to Ali's Channel. This is really something different than the other videos i see. Makes me boost my drive on my little youtube channel 😁
You'll never regret starting something you're passionate about.
Thanks for the video! I love how authentic you are! 😊
Another TH-camr with a full-time day job here! I'm probably not your target audience since I have a slow, not-focused-on-productivity approach to creative stuff, but this was an interesting watch (first video of yours that I've seen, funnily enough). The one thing that irks me is the idea of outsourcing one's editing as soon as possible - editing is my favourite part of creating a TH-cam video, I'd never give it away! The most rewarding thing about my journey as a TH-camr (my channel has been up for more than five years now) is seeing how much I've improved and continue to improve with my editing, so I like to spend all the time I need on it while making videos. Then again I have that luxury since TH-cam is a hobby for me, I don't need to make money from it and my sense of accomplishment and self-worth are not tied to how well my videos are doing.
(also wow, you talk fast - a medical doctor thing maybe?)
For people like you, perhaps the idea is to become the editor for others... For those wanting a YT career, that is.
thank you Ali brother for the video and the honesty
Thank you so much for starting your youtube channel ❤
This is the video I needed to see! Instant subscribe 🙌🏻
VERY encouraging! I’ve slacked with my channel as I felt overwhelmed with what “people” suggested for me. I lost my love for it and got overwhelmed.
I make videos because I love the camera and I love teaching. This is the reminder I needed to get back at it! Almost at 1000 subscribers. I can be in the 2.5% soon! 😜
Just followed you thank you for giving a real example of how to create and realistic time for a TH-cam
Thank you Ali. You inspired me and make me keep pushing, never give up 💪
I'm also a healthcare practitioner, working full time on the NHS while trying to "jump start" my channel and it's hard, but not inpossible. I guess the name of the game is: consistency, good content and time. But it's nice to see that's possible if you commit yourself, even when juggling a full time job.
Hey friends! Honestly, how are us smaller channels supposed to get anywhere when the big ones are boosting themselves with things like sem rush and social plus? It’s tough seeing all that effort go unnoticed. Wishing you all the best of luck! 😊
Everyday there are new creators making waves and making big money. There will be creators who aren't even born yet who will make themselves millionaires. Look for the possibilities and the opportunities.
We r in it together😊
Speak several languages
Best title given, clear and to the point, thank you brother
I love the honest, straightforward answers. Can you do a video on outsourcing/delegation?
"Great, I needed this video, and it has been quite helpful to me. Thanks Ali"
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us :) I am getting started on my hiking video venture on YT and this video really inspired me! To all those reading, keep it up!
I definitely will
Excellent, what a coincidence, i was struggling with this with this siutstion, ans here I have got the solutuion. Thanks for making it easier for us all.
It's a hard slog growing a channel but if you keep it at you will reap the rewards. Good luck content creators.
Your delivery is so good that I didn’t realize I was at the end already. Great stuff Ali
Thank you for the insight as I am trying to build this channel and new to this whole process.
The way you organize your Content is quite Amazing
Thats a great breakdown and fits perfectly for my situation. Thanks for sharing!
you have no idea how uswful this video was for me, thank you so much!!!
This is for Me. Thank You Dr. Abdaal ❤
Hey Ali! Thank you so much, I'm working as a doctor myself while building my TH-cam Channel and honestly you have to be super super motivated and driven to keep going. But you inspire me and I promised myself not to give up - so the only way is improvement.
i'd love to see a version of this as a vlogger with a full-time job (instead of a subject expert)!
yes yes yes PLEASE
Me toooo :)
@@MissJourdy it’s incredibly hard to achieve that and have proper content at the same time. I’ve been trying the vlaugust (vlog everyday in August) thing … and it’s gruesome! When 8h of the day are spent at the office, there’s little time left to be creative 😞
same
Sooo good! Thank you! I feel so seen. I was exhausted trying to figure this out. TH-cam felt like a second job
Batch filming is a superpower - as well as batch scripting and batch editing if you can't outsource these yet.
Loved the editing of the handwritten letters appearing on the paper- 08:26
i miss this old ali, thank you for bringing back ur old teaching self !
Great tips, thank you! TH-cam is one of several hobbies alongside my full-time job, and I hope to achieve a passive income in the long run and a more flexible work life.
This is great information and quite inspiring!!! Thank you!!!
