    Thanks so much for your input into this topic! It was really great to hear the Twitch perspective and 100% agreed about not letting other people's approval define you. I particularly enjoy the mantra of "If this person isn't where you want to be, don't take their advice". I'll be carrying that with me for a long time to come.

      Hey Laim, is it worth doing a video, going over the analytics of how a bigger TH-cam affects your smaller channel in comparison in growth.

    *Pros of being a TH-camr:*
    1. Pick your own hours. Only work when you want to
    2. Enjoy what you do and build a community
    3. Fun addiction to positive comments and praise
    *Cons of TH-camr:*
    1. To succeed means working longer hours than most jobs
    2. Dealing with people who literally hate you, or at least want you to fail
    3. If you do fail, it is all your fault. No safety net and nobody else to blame

      4. The sky is the limit to the money you can make, there's no standardised cap. If you get bigger and bigger, so will the remuneration.
      Cons
      4. TH-cam, or rather Google, are increasingly more volatile to work for. Technically as a TH-camr you are self-employed, but you actually aren't. You are under scrutiny by the platform that you need to post your videos on. Who frequently and more often as time goes on will change the rules and de-monetize specific videos, or ban your channel. The rules constantly change and everytime you post something even a little controversial, Google can and will decide on a whim that you're done if they don't like it.

    I just want to say thank you. I needed to hear these things very much. I worked on a horse farm for 12years (which was intense 12hr day manual labour) up until 2019. I was often asked "when are you getting a real job" because I didnt get paid enough. After covid happened and my country went into lockdown I stopped working at the farm and decided that I was going to finally pursue my dream of being an artist and working for myself but I have been stuck trying to get past the voices in my head being like "its not a real job". So again thank you, I needed to hear this. Keep on being awesome ❤

      So true. Another person's complaint, is just his expression of jealousy. "Working with horses?" they think, probably "she gets to ride around on horses all day while I'm over here at my boring, stale, dimly lit office room for the past 20 years, wasted of my life."
      This is the reason they say such things.
      1. they lack information. the horse farm was actually hard labour, not just riding around having fun all day.
      2. they are jealous because they are unhappy themselves with their current jobs and they don't dare to change that themselves.
      keep that in mind and nothing will stop you in the future. good luck!

    I love your views on how to run this stuff. I only run my channel as a hobby because my work schedule and my content topic don't really offer me the option to make short scheduled content. it's increasingly frustrating when my videos bomb, because they're solely about my craft projects, which can take weeks or months to make.
    So not only do I have a long prep time for stuff like B-roll footage, that if I miss recording a segment while building then I have nothing to show, but I only have one shot to talk about the project. So that could be a month or two of work down the drain for a video that falls flat.
    I still do my projects first as a hobby, its what I enjoy doing. And I'd like to think I'm slowly learning with each video I make. I just wish I could apply more of these tactics and recommendations that larger content creators put out there to my channel.
    If my channel is ever going to grow, it's gonna be over a long period of time. I knew that going in it'll be very slow and steady though. So I'm in no rush, I'll be crafting regardless if it succeeds or fails. But if it ever reaches the point of monetization, man would it be great to be able to put that towards craft supplies. lol this stuffs not cheap.

    While there’s no videos on what it’s like being at idk let’s say a gold ranked player in street fighter 5 and the struggles on how to get past that ceiling. Idk I’m insanely obsessed with the fgc and can’t think of any other thing to do, the only downside is I only want to to make high quality videos and the requires me getting a pc or a capture card, soo imma have to save up before going down this journey.

    Most kids are gonna say they wanna be an athlete, TH-camr or whatever, cause they haven't experienced the real world yet. Once they have to pay their own bills, they start to catch on. And once they have kids and are responsible for putting food on the table, they're interests change, and so do their goals and objectives. That's the cycle and how the real world works. Older generations went through the same thing, and in 20 years we'll be the ones talking about how kids are lazy and don't work hard, and in 40 years our kids will say the same thing about our grandkids.

I became the top player for an older DBZ fighting game thinking the community was modding it to make it more competitive and rewarding just to realize over half a year later (after grinding to be the best) they changed it from being a competitive game to a party game that you play 1 once a month. Now I'm learning to mod the game myself so it can actually be competitive (and addictive to a degree ;) ).

    You should collect feedback, frame it and find the ACTUAL problem that the viewers are having and estimate if the problem is worth solving by evaluating the opportunity.
    If there's no valuable opportunity, it's not worth doing.
    I.e. does it bring value to my viewers? does it bring value to me(my channel), does it align with my strategy? It needs to be a clear Yes to all of these.
    So when you have found the problem, and found that it bring value by solving it, only then, can you begin to find the solution. You are the one solving it.
    If it fails after having solved the problem, you either misunderstood the problem, or you validated the opportunity incorrectly.
    So you can collect feedback, but you should not act on it without having understood the problem - and then you can solve it with that creative brain of yours.
    The example he makes about doing girl content (never heard of this before), is a good example of how one either have misunderstood the problem or failed to validate the opportunity properly. It doesn't align with your channels goals and strategy, which brought your audience there in the first place, thus you end up losing your current audience and attract a new one that you'll have to deal with (or lose later). Same applies for software developement, you derail your product into something else and that is a risk and in most cases unsustainable.

    I just spent the morning editing a podcast episode, finishing up a YT video art and completing the description, Checking all social media groups and chats for updated information and thinking about Updating our T-shirts, etsy page, finishing designs of tokens for another podcast group, thinking about two other videos I need to complete and upload and create a tabletop game scenario. That's just today. Not including live streams, posting to other media and god know what else. All for a whooping 12$ a month from YT. It boosts our other content and helps sell tokens so I can afford to keep it all up and running, but you need to be obsessed.
    And I edit my own videos and I wanted to show some of the editing that went into place to make graphics like they showed. It is the grind.

    Something that I noticed recently is that whereas in the past, TH-cam would only recommend popular videos of your topic, but It feels like now it's whatever's relevant. I get recommended videos from some of the smallest channels just cause the content is relevant. I think that if anyone has an idea they want to put out there, they should just do it and have fun, the rest comes naturally. It NEEDS to come from a place of genuine interest on the creator's part though.

    40:50 It depends what you define as "making it." A million subs? Most will never reach that. But you don't need 1M subs to generate 2500-3000 dollars a month, which in most areas is enough to live off of. So within a decade of content creation, I feel most people who stay consistent could reach 30k a year and never have to work a day job again

  • @saphironkindris

    I honestly wonder how many 'creator channels' there are on youtube, The guy says there's tens of millions of channels producing videos on youtube, but most of those I have to imagine aren't being made with the intent of exploding with popularity. Like, there's still plenty of people that upload home videos or have one-off hits or are just doing it for their friends or whatever, and aren't trying to do it as a career. I wonder how many people who try to do it as a career can succeed. Like, 30k channels with more than a million subs compared to 30M total channels doesn't paint great odds for you, but if only 1M of those channels are actually pushing for those high numbers, that's suddenly a much crazier percentage, you know? 30% instead of like 0.1%. Of course, then you have to also ask stuff like, how many of those channels with 1M+ Subs are secondary channels for already established talents? Etc. etc.
    Like, we need a real breakdown of these numbers, but quite frankly I doubt we'll ever get them. Too difficult to do.

    Until a few months ago I had no idea Asmond was still making videos. I used to watch his videos on how to make in-game gold in Cataclysm. Some of his ideas worked, some did not. The most profitable ones I came up with on my own... one of which got me banned for 3 days. No one could farm that much, they must be botting... only I wasn't. Still, glad to see him doing well. I have had my days of drunk driving on 6th street in Austin. I drilled in Round Rock and lived in Plano for 3 months. I consider Austin my second stomping ground.

Finding work that you love to do is a great experience and people who didn't may be jealous and therefor try to think about it as if you won the lottery and was just lucky.

    the first video i made that i put aton of passion and effort into, exploded and got 100k views.
    I was so excited about that and had all these plans on what todo next.
    The world decided to have other plans for me
    and I got incredibly sick the week after, the next week a hurricane came in and my power didnt work for over a month, when that was fixed it was discovered the internet cord that provided my house with internet was also completely ripped out due to that same storm, and it has now been 6 months since then and the ISP refuses to fix it.
    whatever momentum I had gained on that video, its more than long gone now, and instead im just struggleling to live my day to day while working 10 hour shifts at my job and finding time to edit.
    not to mention, i also cannot stream which was also gaining some traction by then too.
    shit really sucks, but its what I want todo so i try and make it work... I just aint able to release stuff weekly, its practically impossible with how slow everything is. so until my ISP decides to fix it (theres no better alternative) im stuck in this unfortunate position where I probably wont be able to get anywhere because I dont upload frequently enough.
    I get people that used to come on stream find my videos by accident, thinking i had died, when instead ive just been hard locked into barely being able to be online unless its for basic things.

    asmons not wrong about the editing stuff.

Editing is like a muscle and if you dont flex it often you just lose all the skills. I can only remember vaguely what I did to make all those effects and transitions work.

    "You'd have to get a real job".
    I did independent contract work as a creator YEARS ago. The pay was enough to pay my bills and got me out of a funk after a tough stretch (having something productive to do every day). But it was real work. I was handed projects on Trello, I did research, did editing, submitted a first draft, made alterations, and then submitted a final project and got paid. Inflation adjusted I probably made then about the equivalent of 1 hour of my pay now. And some projects took well under an hour and some took over 2. I was often not doing content on projects that I wanted to and I hated some of the requested edits.
    Compare to my job now. I am an accountant in an industry (aka not public. I work for a company not doing public accounting work. I am prepping for CMA, masters, and eventually CPA. But I would not be doing taxes for an LLC like Asmon because I instead work on the rev team for my company and only my company right now). I work 40 hours, remote. I get 11 paid holidays, 6 sick days, unlimited FTO (and my manager actually gives me the FTO when I ask for it. counting holidays I probably get 5-7 weeks paid off per year. I have had my manager focus more on me taking time when I need rather than crunching when they need me). I have decent benefits (I was 1099 when I was a creator and had to do a Schedule C so I paid my own payroll taxes. When you have a job, your boss pays half of your payroll taxes). I have my list of monthly, weekly, and occasional ad-hoc duties. And at the end of the day, I meme with my team on the Slack channel a few minutes at the end of the day and that is that.
    My industry accounting job feels far lower key than my independent contract content creator job ever did. I'd make more money in a public accounting job but the workload and stress would be far worse (and without the CPA completed, the pay increase may not be that much.) TH-cam can be a real career, same with Twitch. It can be a fun job, it can be a high paying job. But for those that treat it like a business, it is a business. My only complaints are when the AR teams need me to help with cash collections. I definitely don't like customer facing work. "Leave me alone with my spreadsheets". Probably one reason I am more focused on CMA rather than CPA since that is more of an internal job rather than working with a larger variety of clients.
