Wow the response to this video has been like nothing I could have ever imagined. Thank you so much for all the kind messages and I am so so happy that I have been able to inspire so many people. Keep going and never stop.
Thanks for this video* I love your raw honesty... I have been wanting to do youtube videos for a few years now. I am not tech savvy and was getting bogged down in thinking about editing and stuff...watching youtube video's many said just start! So, finally yesterday I posted my first one...raw, uncut and like you I have no problem just talking and sharing..luckily I have many years of working as a voice coach and it is my technique and I have 2 digital books as well...etc.... I have always followed my dreams and taken chances....I worried about going in front of the camera cause I am older now (after being a singer and a make-up artist ..so I had fear of being seen as older)...finally I said to myself whatever...it's a nice feeling to break the stupid movies we play in our head!.. Best of luck to you!
I don't have a twitch account. I don't really use Tiktok....I've never seen you before......but dude, I really needed to hear this. Thank you! Usually, videos like this are all about the revenue....and that's nice to hear....but at the end of the day, it's the freedom and peace of mind that we want. And it's great to be reminded.
the revenue is nice, but as you said, the freedom is priceless. As long as my earnings pay my bills and give me some disposable income to spend and save then I am happy. I don't need scale to 50k a month, it doesn't buy me more time.
I'm 44, thought I'm too old to start TH-cam. Then I took a risk and decided to make a video. I got out my expensive Sony cam and cinema lenses, wrote, shot, produced and edited a long video for two weeks and was drained by the end. I thought it wasn't worth my time and talent to put so much effort in for nothing. Last night, on a whim, I just grabbed my iphone and recorded some thoughts about a movie and you know what? I HAD A BLAST! I stumbled into the joy of it and felt far more comfortable speaking into my phone than my expensive Sony...now I want to make more!
Keep in mind I'm just learning myself. What I've learned is you want to make long form content and make little shorts out of it. If you're good on other social media accounts you can bring those people over to your video creations. If you're talking about relevant stuff that people are searching, and you are taking the time to find out what keywords people are actually searching for, don't focus on them really really big key words because you'll get lost and won't be able to get found, so you focus on keywords that are just smaller than those really really huge ones, and try multiple keywords multiple videos. At least on tiktok, you don't really seem to be reprimanded for making more videos, so making small hard-hitting videos and finding out which ones are going to go viral ahead of time and then making long-term content to be based upon that what would make the most sense to me. And then doing it every single day until you're a success!! Make a video, learn something new and implemented into the next video...
Can we form a support group? Seeiously 😢 I'm 45. I told myself I couldn't give up on my dream of being an artist. I wound up injured and home. I started working on my art but I have to get a job soon... Every conversation i have with people in my life makes my dreams seem so out of reach. I am full time right now, I made a studio space in my dining room, I started painting, and I have no idea what to do... but I don't want to give up. I want to succeed but my emotions are getting the bets of me right now. I want to teach. I want to share. I want to create and inspire others... but I slide back into feeling so sad that the journey will.lead lead nowhere. My confidence is so fragile.
@VanessaNeiditch one of the main resources you could be studying is a person named Frank Kern. And then you want to study everything from Mr beast as well... With Frank Kern you might start with his interview he did with Anthony Robbins. Overall he will teach you how to bring more eyes to your videos. Mrbeast will tell you how to make excellent videos...
This was beautiful. I listened to this while im working as a janitor cleaning bathrooms lol, ive been doing youtube and IG since 2012 but ive never applied proper strategy. In the past year i started a new YT channel and taking it more seriously and already at 2k subs in 1 year. I still post on this channel too. But i just know im gonna get free one day. Videos like this help me to keep going thank you. Youre so authentic, its rare to see
I’m as real as they come, I have no hidden agenda, I don’t care what people think of me, I just want to be honest and realistic with people that this hard and it will take a long time but if you’re patient you will get there.
Well, as a fellow witchy type, you get an instant follow from me! I'm brand new on here, did have a bit of a witchy channel before, but it didn't go so well, but I love your story! (and your hair!) :D
Just three days ago, my husband and I took the leap and started our TH-cam cooking channel. We’re at 7 subscribers, and it feels amazing to know people are already tuning in! Starting this journey was the best decision, and we’re excited to keep sharing our love for cooking with our subscribers. Here’s to growth and success for everyone of us following our passion!🥂🩷
I'm 62 and just uploaded my first video this week. I have a background as a videographer/editor, so that wasn't what kept me from starting a channel from scratch. Then the algorithm sent videos like yours my way and I took that as a sign to start creating and am glad I did. Thank you.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing your experience! Nowadays many content creators lack strategy. The upload everything straight away, and then they run out of ideas. This business is about constant uploading, but not too many times per week (and also after I upload something, I use a bit of Famester to make that piece of content instantly viral and popular). It's better to upload like once or twice per week, and it also helps to avoid burnout.
Thanks for the inspiration. I’m 2 years in and love my transition for a 30year designer to a newbie DIY home improvement content creator. I’m 60 now and to have over 400000 followers is an amazing feeling! My advise is to never look back and always move towards your dream at any age.
Of all the human rights we feel entitled to these days, the freedom to live our days aligned with our inner calling is a rare gem... and quite overlooked. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story.
What a refreshing video! I have never seen a content creator who would get emotional talking about their job. You seem so genuine and sensitive. I wish you all the best!
@@dominikaszczerkowska9689 thank you. I’ve put a lot of hours into content creation for a number of years, I always get emotional talking about finally making it
Nothing ever beats authenticity & you 100% have it, thank you for this honest share. From a 65 Yr old young hearted dude who's getting into this after years of wanting to. 👍💪🏻🙏
I changed my plans and got over my perfectionism and self doubt to launched my first video yesterday. I kept telling myself I needed to do this or that first and be good at it before I can publish my first video. I switched to accepting being sub par for now as long as I get better with each video. I have considered deleting it at least once an hour since. I decided to view it differently - it got 11 views and 1 like. That means just over 9% of people who viewed it liked it. Sort of negative thoughts get negative results and positive thoughts get positive results.
Hey congrats the procrastinating and perfectionism is a real struggle for me so I love reading how you took your first step and just posted regardless! I'm working on my first upload now and will also hit the post button by the end of this week!
I watched a video earlier today from a big creator (multiple 100K subs) who had something like 5% likes for the video. People don't "like" very much, that's just a fact (unfortunately). From what I've seen, 10% is a good number to aim for. Good job posting content! Focus on improving with each video and just keep creating.
Your voice matters. It may be small right now, and not many are listening but whomever needs to hear your message will be drawn to you. You STARTED. Keep reminding yourself WHY when your self-doubt comes rearing it's ugly head. You MATTER 🎉
Couldn’t agree more, if there’s one thing I don’t want to be, it’s one of these money chasing gurus that becomes obsessed with being more rich. I just wanna live a chill life and make videos.
For those small content creators like me who think they aren't getting anywhere despite the efforts and hard work, never give up and keep moving forward!
The actual problem on TH-cam is that way too much content is absolute garbage nowadays. Clickbait titles, "surprised" faces in thumbnails and stock video footage is not content. It's garbage.
Liking the video at 40 second for the bravery of quiting your 9-5 job. The company I worked for closed in December and I decided not to get employed and start making content full time and I had to get a new job a month ago. Why? I did not apply myself and made like 1 video per month. That's on me. Now I'm making weekly videos and it looks like in a year from now I'll be able to quit this temporary job. I want to hear more about your journey.
Randomly read your comment but just wanted to say keep pushing. I went from 0 to the biggest creator within my niche in my country in 6 months on TikTok. It's all about putting in the work. Not everyday is a day you want to create but you gotta show up anyways. I believe in you! Go get it! 💫
I quit my corporate job this week. I love making content, but I’m a long way off making it a full-time career, and that’s okay. All I know is that life is too short to NOT do something that makes you happy. I used to be a full time professional athlete, it was my dream growing up. Now I’m chasing the next dream. Thank you for the motivational video man ❤
at 14:20 this almost made me tear up dude. the feeling ur decscribing of free is the thing i cant wait to have with content creation. never felt so moved by a video. needed this so much, so thank you!
One of the easiest "smash the subscribe button" decisions ever. Followed you on all platforms. Signed, a new Inspired and Encouraged follower. Keep doing you and sharing you story. All it took was a few seconds into one video on my home page and I was in.
Beautiful story and absolutely inspiring - not only for content creators, but also for anyone following their dream and starting with the first shaky steps. Your heartfelt, openness is truly a gift. Thank you for that. First year I started my online business as a side hustle, I made 8 bucks. Obviously counting the expenses, it was more like minus $300 in profits. Second year, $280. Third year, $1,300. 4th year the snowball effect truly rolled in, and I was making $3k+ still part-time to my day job. There are days (many actually) that it's a struggle to keep on believing, but feeling passionate about the content we create makes it easier.
That moment at the end, when you’re saying you’ve finally achieved your content creator dream and you’re just beaming.. that’s wonderful man, wonderful to see. Inspires me to do the same
I have no idea who you are but your video was on my home page so I clicked on it. And I'm glad I did because this was such a great video of your transparency about your many hits and misses to get to where you are and where you want to be. Thank you for sharing and I hope everyone else who watches it gets inspired like I just did. Cheers to you and best wishes on your journey to maintain your healthy and happy work/life balance!
I don't remember the last time I watched more honest video on YT. Everyone wants to show you highlights of their journey and life. Being honest and realistic is very rare, and maybe doesn't appeal to mass audience but it does appeal to the right one.
Thank you. I’m trying to more of this style. I might do another journey one at some point this was super off the cuff and I’d like to maybe go into more details in some areas to talk about how I overcome certain challenges
Thank you for being so transparent, detailed and above all vulnerable. Takes a lot to film and edit and click upload in a world where EVERYONE has an opinion… Im glad you did click publish because I can confidentially say you’ve sparked the journeys of many from this. Thank you.
I think I just fell in love. With your story, with you and your lookout on life. Your journey, that smile when you talked about how “that is what life should feel like”. Congrats on your success ❤
ah thank you for the kind words. I've carried the same outlook for a long time, mindset it everything and I've worked very hard on it. I'm very happy with how far I've come and where I am today.
Dude that felt really personal. Especially the message at the end to keep trying. Sometimes I wonder if the side hustle I’ve chosen is realistic. I’m pursuing content creation while others try to do businesses etc. And I wonder if I’m being reckless, given that I have a family. Of course I have my full time job but I wonder if I’m doing my kids a disservice when I’m distracted by the content creation. I think what’s their fault that I spend less time with them, because of my personal aspirations of trying to make it as a content creator. That’s where it feels silly to me, and frankly I feel immature and I get total imposter syndrome. But I think what’s important is that I find a balance and not sacrifice time with my kids, and about having a positive mindset. Hopefully it’ll be worth it in the end and one day I’ll be doing what I love and owning my time. Thanks a lot dude for the video.
Bro hearing this not only inspired me but your story moved me, I don’t know you but I’m hella proud of how far you’ve come! Thank you for sharing my your journey and inspiring us creatives 🙌🏾
Honestly, this is the most inspiring videos I’ve seen lately. I’m present in Social media for a while now but just starting on this platform, I could relate to all struggles mentioned at the beginning of your video… and I think I am making the same mistakes 🫣 you gave me a hope and motivation kick! Thank you for sharing your journey and wishing you all the best!
Hearing your story is very compelling and encouraging. I've tried content creation a bit, didn't have a lot of luck and ended up stopping. I've wanted to get back into it for many reasons, so hearing this is nice. Thanks for sharing, mate.
Forgetting perfectionism and doing what you want to do are 2 principles that change everything in creation. Action calls for results, waiting calls for failure. Your video is very refreshing and I really like the aesthetic you've created.
I just want to say I love that your video is not gimmicky. I love the pace of it. Other TH-camrs be doing too much to get your attention. As for you, it’s nice I get to listen and soak the info. If that makes sense. Thanks!
Thank you. I also hate most of the attention grabbing videos. I prefer to go slower and if you want to listen then you are my audience, if you don't then it's likely you just want those videos that sell you dreams.
I’m just getting started and I fully support this message. Don’t jump right into 40 hour work weeks. We did this for the freedom! Enjoy it. “Slow Productivity” is a great book on this topic.
This was an amazing experience--the rawness and kindness in your video is much appreciated. I am an attorney and I run my own firm and have been looking to diversify. It's nice to know that there are people out there like me who are not interested in money but the peace that comes with being in line with your purpose no matter what that looks like. I subscribed :)
Thank you for this, I currently work a full time job as an electrician and usually only get around a hour to edit/ work on my TH-cam. I always find it stressful/hard because I don’t feel like I’m doing enough but I always keep telling myself to keep pushing!!! Meditation helps me so much everyday
@@BenKaluza i definitely won’t, I do a lot of meditating and always trying to stay focused on my main goal(1mill subs) I always put my mind set priority because I think that’s the most important thing
It was so inspiring. I just quit my 9 to 5 job and created my own business company. It’s not going so well right now, but I am hopeful.. thanks for sharing your story❤
Amazing !! Keep pushing. I left my 9-5 last week. Congrats on your business. Not many people can say they have a business. Keep serving the people and you will be fine. Positivity and gratitude.
This was much needed I mean I’ve just started a really pushing myself to do it without getting distracted or frustrated. I’m a mom and making content is the only way I can do both be there for my kid & be there for myself ❤❤ Thank you
Your journey as a content creator is incredibly inspiring. The persistence and effort, even in the face of failure, is something we don't see very often nowadays. From the start, the adaptability and willingness to learn and grow are very evident. Your story gives hope to all aspiring creators out there. Keep pushing forward and sharing your experiences. If you're interested, I would love to do a podcast and interview you about content creation. I have A LOT of questions 😂
Love this! I also quit my job, moved to Europe and posted my first TH-cam video a few days ago… can’t wait to see how things unfold in the next few months
What I'm most impressed with your story is how sincere and honest you're, to everybody and to yourself. I think that's one of the most important factors that leads to something sustainable... Thank you very much for sharing yourself so earnestly with the world!
The most helpful man I’ve ever seen in TikTok, the amount of knowledge that I learned from him was almost everything when it comes to apps or video editing, i really appreciate what you did and what you’re doing, keep doing what you’re doing please, we love you man ❤️
Be careful....you are playing with fire. If you get to six and seven years of waiting.....you'll be trading a goal , which could of been a dream, for torture. I watch a zillion channels and they all improve with each upload; The complete opposite effect of one hit wonders in the music world. But...the real gem is that Life is an Edit; as you make videos you hone your own skills: ....organization, public speaking, thinking in an efficient way,...even being quick on your feet when something goes wrong. Most of all, you learn to laugh. Should you already have some of these tools...then imagine how much fun, for us, it will be if you share videos!
@@EvanGaleano That is what I have been doing, I've been just recording and practicing my video editing and graphic design skills with my recordings. But then I realized I like the logo and the videos I've made so I've decided to start posting them.
Just make sure you keep showing up and be consistent. You'll have periods where you get nothing and periods where you get something. Anyone can be successful on social media they just have to not give up.
Very inspiring to watch this on a Monday morning. It's brought me to tears listening to your story. I've Had imposter syndrome for so long and it's difficult to get out of it. One thing I would suggest you do is create a community - I think so many are lonely and would benefit from a place and safe space to talk and share their journeys as well as be part of a community and new friendships ! Thank you for your videos!!
I love the honesty and unfiltered self-reflection! I am getting inspired to start creating content after overthinking it and not creating enough. Going to start with high volume, and it is going to suck, but I will learn something new each day! Thank you for this video! Subscribed, and looking forward to following your progression!
Nice video! I started YT by creating mobile game guides, specifically for 1 game for a few years then I switched to a different game for a few years. Gave up of those to focus on other aspects of my life and I’d always dreamed of starting a more “real” or personal channel.. finally I’ve decided to do it so I’m just re beginning my journey, but this feels like the start of my true journey- the other channels I knew were temporary, but I’m hoping this grows into a main part of my life.
You got me when you said you cried when you felt free. I'm not thinking about content creating right now but I did quit my job because I can't handle not having my freedom anymore. It was frustrating me and getting me sick. Not quite sure where I'll end up one or two months from now, maybe just getting a different full time job, but I want to build something else that gives me that feel you describe. Cheers man, congrats and I hope wherever you go from here, you feel happy.
I've only just started and it has changed my life too. I must say that i'm already professionally highly successful and it has received the stress of being desperate to succeed and make money out of this. It's more about "I have found my purpose" Dare to be Exceptional. Dare to be Uncommon!
I clicked on this video thinking I'll watch maybe 2-3 minutes. I ended up watching the whole thing. What a story. Thanks for being highly authentic. Thanks for inspiring.
The whole do I wanna be in middle management forever or change it up is a big issue for me. I appreciate you sharing and being vulnerable about your struggles and realistic. All the videos I have seen have been great. Good job!
Yeah it wasn't something I was ever sure of. I'm not a great people manager tbh and was struggling to see how I would also find progression in corporate if I didn't commit to managing. Working for myself has been my goal since I turned 18.
The joy and authenticity in this video is so heartwarming and refreshing to see. I’m so thrilled to see you thriving, sincerely. You give me hope 💜 I’m excited to see what you do next!
Man was this inspiring. Your willingness to share your emotions and personal growth/struggles along the way have given me the courage to begin my own informational channel. Thank you for being so open, transparent and genuinely honest.
Excellent video, Ben. I see a lot of my own personal journey in your journey, and I loved your honesty regarding being a full-time content creator. Your insights were spot on. Keep up the great work and keep creating.❤
Thank you so much. This was so inspiring and honest!!! This is my 3rd year creating content and now more than ever I’m committed to make it happen. I want the freedom, I want to manage my time, my agenda, my schedule and take the projects I really enjoy doing. Thank you, Ben!
Just re started my Chanel on TH-cam after 2 years of taking a break . Been in the TV and film space for many years , now really want my own freedom to work my own content creation. I wish I can at least 1k subscribers at one point . I’ll keep going ! Thanks for good content brother . I just subscribed
I had to stop in the middle of the video because I was moved to tears. For years its been my dream to create content. I began streaming on twitch five years ago but never fully committed and then stopped after a year. This video has truly inspired me to restart and dedicate myself wholeheartedly, regardless of others opinions. Thank you so much!
Hell, yeah man, congratulations. Just the motivation I needed I promise you that. I am just starting at 64 and this is probably the best one that I have seen as far as motivation goes. Well done, sir enjoy.
As a "content" creator, it feels so fulfilling to make stuff, regardless of how great my vids are. That alone is worth it. There is something special about being cringe on the internet forever 😂
There is an abundance of these kind of videos. But this one resonated with me like no other. I was taken back by my emotional response to this. More so because I don’t know why. You certainly struck a nerve. I’m in my mid fifties and currently in a less than desirable circumstance. With regard to content creating I’m as green as you get. Desperation has led me to consider anything to try and make a meaningful and profound change in my life. Thank you for sharing your journey. I have no idea what I will do, but listening to your story has moved me. I appreciate you and am thankful you took the time to share. Here’s to continued success and blessings. Thank you very much.
I love how real you are, even showing emotion. I've been on the fence when it comes to creating and dabbled in my own creations in the past (streaming video games, fitness tiktoks/shorts, and some generalized promo videos).. I have an amazing job to learn how to craft my skills (News photographer/editor) and I've been doing that for about a year and a half. My real goal is to find "freedom" as you mentioned while creating. I know it will take a ton of work and long hours (again, as you mentioned), but I thank you for this video.. I think this gave me the inspiration I need to finally get going again.
I'm as real as they come, I'm a very honest creator, I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. I'm sick to death of these influencer gurus making it out like it's easy to make 10k a month
As a nano creator and an 80's baby that knew nothing about this corner of the world. And social media as a whole, for someone who only ever had a Facebook profile that posted maybe twice a year. This was inconceivable. But once I started, it became overwhelming and I felt that I would never come close and that I didn't have what it takes. Then over the past 2 months I decided to just improve by 1 percent each time. Today coming across this video you have calmed my mind and anxiety-ridden thoughts. I've watched so so so many videos on how to grow and what to do but this video stole my soul Thank you Ben. And taking this one day at a time seems so much more doable instead of chasing what other creators are achieving. You changed one person's life today!!!!
you are a creator, artist or creator to me there one in the same. creating is like a drug to me, its like an addiction and its a deep dive into who we really are and sometimes it is kinda scary but we must keep moving forward, this world can hit hard, the important thing is you keep going set that goal HIGH and run for it, i like your story very transforming. thank you
So happy for you and your journey. Could really see the true emotion behind your realization that you were “officially” doing it.. super inspirational for the rest of us. Thank you
@@MohamedAnouar7 Yeah I can do that. Give me some time to plan because that would be a long ass video but I'll put it in my list and think about how to do it over next month or so.
this style of videos kept me way more engaged than these over-edited videos! i was wondering how did you get over that fear of other people's judgment also why not share some tips on ''how to creat viral content ''?
This was so inspiring to me. The way you talk about the feeling you had that first month is exactly the feeling I so desperately want to experience and I will get there eventually. Thank you for reminding me to not give up and continue to chase my dreams ✨
This video changed my life and outlook. Hi Ben, your openness is what makes your content stand above the rest. I've finally started my channel. I'm so thankful YT showed me your video. Thank you 💙🙌🏼💪🏼
When I saw the thumbnail "Just Start" It resonates what I am going through these past few months. I wanted to restart again doing art and start my youtube channel (other account) which I already did. However, I did not upload any videos yet. I know that it is not an accident that I saw your video, this is a reminder for me to push myself and create art again and document my journey.
As somebody grinding in different content industries for over a decade while maintaining full-time clients, this resonated a lot and motivated me to always push through. That sense of freedom must feel overwhelming, but it is exactly what most strive for in their lifestyle. Proud of you Ben, keep up the great content!
I really enjoyed this video. Super encouraging. It's good to know that other creators get stuck and have to pivot a few times as well. Keep up the great work.
Always appreciate hearing fellow creator’s insights along their adventure. I relaunched my YT channel just this past summer (3rd time’s the charm, lol) and sticking with it this time. Most consistent I’ve ever been and I’m excited for the road again. Best wishes to everyone - we out here 🐦🔥
This was super encouraging to watch 🎉 God bless. I think one take away from me was learning to build slowly and go through process. Only those that go through process, have something to bring to the table. Thanks man
Thank you, your authentic and sweet story truly are wonderful to hear, and you didn't switch up to be a jerk. I am impressed, you are a breath of fresh air. I'm 63, struggling with my you tube journey, but not quitting. Thank you! God Bless❤

Wow the response to this video has been like nothing I could have ever imagined. Thank you so much for all the kind messages and I am so so happy that I have been able to inspire so many people. Keep going and never stop.
Thanks for this video* I love your raw honesty... I have been wanting to do youtube videos for a few years now. I am not tech savvy and was getting bogged down in thinking about editing and stuff...watching youtube video's many said just start!

I have always followed my dreams and taken chances....I worried about going in front of the camera cause I am older now (after being a singer and a make-up artist ..so I had fear of being seen as older)...finally I said to myself whatever...it's a nice feeling to break the stupid movies we play in our head!.. Best of luck to you!
Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration to me.
Thank you for sharing, i just started a month ago, there is so much to learn! 💪
I also just started doing youtube 🎉 i hope for the both of us 🤞
This video on creativity was brilliant! It was inspiring and gave me so many new ideas
For every aspiring content creator watching, this is exactly how your story would turn out to be. Just get at it.
Nice ❤
Thank you brother ❤❤
Does that include ANY content.......say, a writer writing his book(s)? 🤣
Thank you that's good advice, hope all is going well and will go very well for you too 💯🙏👍
Thank you Ben. Good luck with everything you do 😀
I don't have a twitch account. I don't really use Tiktok....I've never seen you before......but dude, I really needed to hear this. Thank you! Usually, videos like this are all about the revenue....and that's nice to hear....but at the end of the day, it's the freedom and peace of mind that we want. And it's great to be reminded.
the revenue is nice, but as you said, the freedom is priceless. As long as my earnings pay my bills and give me some disposable income to spend and save then I am happy. I don't need scale to 50k a month, it doesn't buy me more time.
@@BenKaluza That's a very refreshing take.
👍💯
Thank you for sharing your story and experience and your achievements ❤I really admire you on this story
Loved your story! Love your voice! Thank you 👏👏
I'm 44, thought I'm too old to start TH-cam. Then I took a risk and decided to make a video. I got out my expensive Sony cam and cinema lenses, wrote, shot, produced and edited a long video for two weeks and was drained by the end. I thought it wasn't worth my time and talent to put so much effort in for nothing. Last night, on a whim, I just grabbed my iphone and recorded some thoughts about a movie and you know what? I HAD A BLAST! I stumbled into the joy of it and felt far more comfortable speaking into my phone than my expensive Sony...now I want to make more!
Let’s do this! I’m 44 too and on my journey to start podcasting…You’re Sony and I’m Nikon. We’re still relatively young!
Your videos are great! You just need to tweak titles, I learnt that is the most important thing besides thumbnail & topic
Keep in mind I'm just learning myself. What I've learned is you want to make long form content and make little shorts out of it. If you're good on other social media accounts you can bring those people over to your video creations. If you're talking about relevant stuff that people are searching, and you are taking the time to find out what keywords people are actually searching for, don't focus on them really really big key words because you'll get lost and won't be able to get found, so you focus on keywords that are just smaller than those really really huge ones, and try multiple keywords multiple videos. At least on tiktok, you don't really seem to be reprimanded for making more videos, so making small hard-hitting videos and finding out which ones are going to go viral ahead of time and then making long-term content to be based upon that what would make the most sense to me. And then doing it every single day until you're a success!! Make a video, learn something new and implemented into the next video...
Can we form a support group? Seeiously 😢 I'm 45. I told myself I couldn't give up on my dream of being an artist. I wound up injured and home. I started working on my art but I have to get a job soon... Every conversation i have with people in my life makes my dreams seem so out of reach. I am full time right now, I made a studio space in my dining room, I started painting, and I have no idea what to do... but I don't want to give up. I want to succeed but my emotions are getting the bets of me right now. I want to teach. I want to share. I want to create and inspire others... but I slide back into feeling so sad that the journey will.lead lead nowhere. My confidence is so fragile.
@VanessaNeiditch one of the main resources you could be studying is a person named Frank Kern. And then you want to study everything from Mr beast as well... With Frank Kern you might start with his interview he did with Anthony Robbins. Overall he will teach you how to bring more eyes to your videos. Mrbeast will tell you how to make excellent videos...
This was beautiful. I listened to this while im working as a janitor cleaning bathrooms lol, ive been doing youtube and IG since 2012 but ive never applied proper strategy. In the past year i started a new YT channel and taking it more seriously and already at 2k subs in 1 year. I still post on this channel too. But i just know im gonna get free one day. Videos like this help me to keep going thank you. Youre so authentic, its rare to see
I’m as real as they come, I have no hidden agenda, I don’t care what people think of me, I just want to be honest and realistic with people that this hard and it will take a long time but if you’re patient you will get there.
gave a follow, you're so pretty and I love all the purple:p wishing you luck on your channels!
That's awesome!
@@Darkervibes i truly appreciate that thank you so much
Well, as a fellow witchy type, you get an instant follow from me! I'm brand new on here, did have a bit of a witchy channel before, but it didn't go so well, but I love your story! (and your hair!) :D
Just three days ago, my husband and I took the leap and started our TH-cam cooking channel. We’re at 7 subscribers, and it feels amazing to know people are already tuning in! Starting this journey was the best decision, and we’re excited to keep sharing our love for cooking with our subscribers. Here’s to growth and success for everyone of us following our passion!🥂🩷
I'm 62 and just uploaded my first video this week. I have a background as a videographer/editor, so that wasn't what kept me from starting a channel from scratch. Then the algorithm sent videos like yours my way and I took that as a sign to start creating and am glad I did. Thank you.
The secret is consistency & discipline, but keep going allen you're doing awesome!!
@@Jre4m Thank you... I'm trying!
Love it ❤ keep the fire sir 🫡
I just followed you up
@@Phirestation Thanks!
well done
Awesome video, thanks for sharing your experience! Nowadays many content creators lack strategy. The upload everything straight away, and then they run out of ideas. This business is about constant uploading, but not too many times per week (and also after I upload something, I use a bit of Famester to make that piece of content instantly viral and popular). It's better to upload like once or twice per week, and it also helps to avoid burnout.
Thanks for the inspiration. I’m 2 years in and love my transition for a 30year designer to a newbie DIY home improvement content creator. I’m 60 now and to have over 400000 followers is an amazing feeling! My advise is to never look back and always move towards your dream at any age.
Of all the human rights we feel entitled to these days, the freedom to live our days aligned with our inner calling is a rare gem... and quite overlooked. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story.
What a refreshing video! I have never seen a content creator who would get emotional talking about their job. You seem so genuine and sensitive. I wish you all the best!
@@dominikaszczerkowska9689 thank you. I’ve put a lot of hours into content creation for a number of years, I always get emotional talking about finally making it
14:36 is really why I enjoy content creation - the freedom to just LIVE. I’m a mom so I love the work life balance it affords me.
Nothing ever beats authenticity & you 100% have it, thank you for this honest share. From a 65 Yr old young hearted dude who's getting into this after years of wanting to. 👍💪🏻🙏
A lot of reevaluating in the beginning.🌹
Power to you @tismeDenis
Wow! That is amazing
I changed my plans and got over my perfectionism and self doubt to launched my first video yesterday. I kept telling myself I needed to do this or that first and be good at it before I can publish my first video. I switched to accepting being sub par for now as long as I get better with each video. I have considered deleting it at least once an hour since. I decided to view it differently - it got 11 views and 1 like. That means just over 9% of people who viewed it liked it. Sort of negative thoughts get negative results and positive thoughts get positive results.
Got to start somewhere, and hope you had fun making it so therefore it is 💯 worthwhile no matter what
Facts bro! Love reading this!!
Hey congrats the procrastinating and perfectionism is a real struggle for me so I love reading how you took your first step and just posted regardless! I'm working on my first upload now and will also hit the post button by the end of this week!
I watched a video earlier today from a big creator (multiple 100K subs) who had something like 5% likes for the video. People don't "like" very much, that's just a fact (unfortunately). From what I've seen, 10% is a good number to aim for. Good job posting content! Focus on improving with each video and just keep creating.
Your voice matters. It may be small right now, and not many are listening but whomever needs to hear your message will be drawn to you. You STARTED. Keep reminding yourself WHY when your self-doubt comes rearing it's ugly head. You MATTER 🎉
Freedom is often what makes us feel rich. Wonderful story
Holy crap 😮 that was so succinctly put my jaw actually dropped in amazement. TRUTH!
That has to be one of the best quotes I have ever heard
Couldn’t agree more, if there’s one thing I don’t want to be, it’s one of these money chasing gurus that becomes obsessed with being more rich. I just wanna live a chill life and make videos.
The ULTIMATE goal! Freedom to live life under this beautiful blue sky under your own terms and at your own pace, not in a constant race.
Watching this video is my “right place, right time”
You dont know the impact you're making just by sharing your journey really! keep going, you dont know the difference youre making in our lives!
For those small content creators like me who think they aren't getting anywhere despite the efforts and hard work, never give up and keep moving forward!
The actual problem on TH-cam is that way too much content is absolute garbage nowadays. Clickbait titles, "surprised" faces in thumbnails and stock video footage is not content. It's garbage.
Liking the video at 40 second for the bravery of quiting your 9-5 job.
The company I worked for closed in December and I decided not to get employed and start making content full time and I had to get a new job a month ago.
Why? I did not apply myself and made like 1 video per month. That's on me.
Now I'm making weekly videos and it looks like in a year from now I'll be able to quit this temporary job.
I want to hear more about your journey.
👍
Randomly read your comment but just wanted to say keep pushing. I went from 0 to the biggest creator within my niche in my country in 6 months on TikTok. It's all about putting in the work. Not everyday is a day you want to create but you gotta show up anyways. I believe in you! Go get it! 💫
@@steven_erixon Thank you Steven!
I quit my corporate job this week.
I love making content, but I’m a long way off making it a full-time career, and that’s okay. All I know is that life is too short to NOT do something that makes you happy. I used to be a full time professional athlete, it was my dream growing up. Now I’m chasing the next dream.
Thank you for the motivational video man ❤
Freedom of time…I’m in tears. Thank you. Relaunching everything. Will focus more on IG and my Arts on TikTok.
Tired of struggling. Thanks again.
Freedom of time is everything. Way more valuable than any amount of money.
We’re watching your TH-cam account now get to work
@@BenKaluza Totally agree!
at 14:20 this almost made me tear up dude. the feeling ur decscribing of free is the thing i cant wait to have with content creation. never felt so moved by a video. needed this so much, so thank you!
haha the feeling is amazing. I cried in another video talking about the same thing because of how great it feels.
@@BenKaluza one day I’ll come back here and thank you for this video when I’m crying😂😂 once again I appreciate u
That's what we call quality value... The real story of every hustling Content Creator... Would love to see you grow more
One of the easiest "smash the subscribe button" decisions ever. Followed you on all platforms. Signed, a new Inspired and Encouraged follower. Keep doing you and sharing you story. All it took was a few seconds into one video on my home page and I was in.
Beautiful story and absolutely inspiring - not only for content creators, but also for anyone following their dream and starting with the first shaky steps. Your heartfelt, openness is truly a gift. Thank you for that.
First year I started my online business as a side hustle, I made 8 bucks. Obviously counting the expenses, it was more like minus $300 in profits. Second year, $280. Third year, $1,300. 4th year the snowball effect truly rolled in, and I was making $3k+ still part-time to my day job. There are days (many actually) that it's a struggle to keep on believing, but feeling passionate about the content we create makes it easier.
That moment at the end, when you’re saying you’ve finally achieved your content creator dream and you’re just beaming.. that’s wonderful man, wonderful to see. Inspires me to do the same
I have no idea who you are but your video was on my home page so I clicked on it. And I'm glad I did because this was such a great video of your transparency about your many hits and misses to get to where you are and where you want to be. Thank you for sharing and I hope everyone else who watches it gets inspired like I just did. Cheers to you and best wishes on your journey to maintain your healthy and happy work/life balance!
I'm glad I could inspire you, will try my best to keep doing so
Same 😊
I don't remember the last time I watched more honest video on YT.
Everyone wants to show you highlights of their journey and life.
Being honest and realistic is very rare, and maybe doesn't appeal to mass audience but it does appeal to the right one.
Wonderful words....you're the kind of subscriber honest and transparent TH-camrs hope for.🙏
Thank you. I’m trying to more of this style. I might do another journey one at some point this was super off the cuff and I’d like to maybe go into more details in some areas to talk about how I overcome certain challenges
Love your comment, you got yourself a new subscriber❤
Exactly
Thank you for being so transparent, detailed and above all vulnerable. Takes a lot to film and edit and click upload in a world where EVERYONE has an opinion… Im glad you did click publish because I can confidentially say you’ve sparked the journeys of many from this.
Thank you.
The most inspiring thing is your humility and ability to face those ’failures’, examine them and learn from them ❤ thank you
I think I just fell in love. With your story, with you and your lookout on life. Your journey, that smile when you talked about how “that is what life should feel like”. Congrats on your success ❤
ah thank you for the kind words. I've carried the same outlook for a long time, mindset it everything and I've worked very hard on it. I'm very happy with how far I've come and where I am today.
Dude that felt really personal. Especially the message at the end to keep trying. Sometimes I wonder if the side hustle I’ve chosen is realistic. I’m pursuing content creation while others try to do businesses etc. And I wonder if I’m being reckless, given that I have a family. Of course I have my full time job but I wonder if I’m doing my kids a disservice when I’m distracted by the content creation. I think what’s their fault that I spend less time with them, because of my personal aspirations of trying to make it as a content creator. That’s where it feels silly to me, and frankly I feel immature and I get total imposter syndrome. But I think what’s important is that I find a balance and not sacrifice time with my kids, and about having a positive mindset. Hopefully it’ll be worth it in the end and one day I’ll be doing what I love and owning my time. Thanks a lot dude for the video.
Bro hearing this not only inspired me but your story moved me, I don’t know you but I’m hella proud of how far you’ve come! Thank you for sharing my your journey and inspiring us creatives 🙌🏾
Honestly, this is the most inspiring videos I’ve seen lately. I’m present in Social media for a while now but just starting on this platform, I could relate to all struggles mentioned at the beginning of your video… and I think I am making the same mistakes 🫣 you gave me a hope and motivation kick! Thank you for sharing your journey and wishing you all the best!
Hearing your story is very compelling and encouraging. I've tried content creation a bit, didn't have a lot of luck and ended up stopping.
I've wanted to get back into it for many reasons, so hearing this is nice.
Thanks for sharing, mate.
Forgetting perfectionism and doing what you want to do are 2 principles that change everything in creation.
Action calls for results, waiting calls for failure.
Your video is very refreshing and I really like the aesthetic you've created.
This video is one of the most inspiring, captivating, and honest videos I’ve seen on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing your story!
Your audio is so nice. The music isn't too loud, your voice is even. Very well-produced.
Just started taking TH-cam seriously. Thank you for the inspiration!
I just want to say I love that your video is not gimmicky. I love the pace of it. Other TH-camrs be doing too much to get your attention. As for you, it’s nice I get to listen and soak the info. If that makes sense. Thanks!
Thank you. I also hate most of the attention grabbing videos. I prefer to go slower and if you want to listen then you are my audience, if you don't then it's likely you just want those videos that sell you dreams.
@@BenKaluza You’re definitely worth listening to. Keep going. I love everything 🙏🏾😊.
I’m just getting started and I fully support this message. Don’t jump right into 40 hour work weeks. We did this for the freedom! Enjoy it. “Slow Productivity” is a great book on this topic.
This was an amazing experience--the rawness and kindness in your video is much appreciated. I am an attorney and I run my own firm and have been looking to diversify. It's nice to know that there are people out there like me who are not interested in money but the peace that comes with being in line with your purpose no matter what that looks like. I subscribed :)
Thank you for this, I currently work a full time job as an electrician and usually only get around a hour to edit/ work on my TH-cam. I always find it stressful/hard because I don’t feel like I’m doing enough but I always keep telling myself to keep pushing!!! Meditation helps me so much everyday
just keep going and don't stop
@@BenKaluza i definitely won’t, I do a lot of meditating and always trying to stay focused on my main goal(1mill subs) I always put my mind set priority because I think that’s the most important thing
This is my new favorite video on TH-cam. I really appreciate you sharing this. Very honest and transparent and encouraging. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you so much
I needed this, I start then lose momentum. I talk myself out of it. I need to keep going.
It was so inspiring. I just quit my 9 to 5 job and created my own business company. It’s not going so well right now, but I am hopeful.. thanks for sharing your story❤
Amazing !! Keep pushing. I left my 9-5 last week. Congrats on your business. Not many people can say they have a business. Keep serving the people and you will be fine. Positivity and gratitude.
This was much needed I mean I’ve just started a really pushing myself to do it without getting distracted or frustrated. I’m a mom and making content is the only way I can do both be there for my kid & be there for myself ❤❤ Thank you
💯 🙏💚
I just started two TH-cam channels this month while having a full time job. The grind is real! Thanks for sharing your story.
Your journey as a content creator is incredibly inspiring. The persistence and effort, even in the face of failure, is something we don't see very often nowadays. From the start, the adaptability and willingness to learn and grow are very evident.
Your story gives hope to all aspiring creators out there. Keep pushing forward and sharing your experiences.
If you're interested, I would love to do a podcast and interview you about content creation. I have A LOT of questions 😂
Yes, and he’s not greedy
I love how raw and honest you are about the burnout and struggles. It's refreshing to see behind the scenes of a successful creator.
Thank you ❤ I'm as real as they come, no emotions to hide
Love this! I also quit my job, moved to Europe and posted my first TH-cam video a few days ago… can’t wait to see how things unfold in the next few months
I’m new too! Moving to Europe sounds awesome!
What I'm most impressed with your story is how sincere and honest you're, to everybody and to yourself. I think that's one of the most important factors that leads to something sustainable... Thank you very much for sharing yourself so earnestly with the world!
Thank you for this video. I felt like we were talking face to face in person as a friend.
The most helpful man I’ve ever seen in TikTok, the amount of knowledge that I learned from him was almost everything when it comes to apps or video editing, i really appreciate what you did and what you’re doing, keep doing what you’re doing please, we love you man ❤️
What an inspiring story, I have been sitting on "I want to make videos" for years now. 3-5 years!
Just start filming, even if you don’t post just yet. Just start making em for yourself, for a friend. That’s how I started :)
@@EvanGaleano gives great advice!
Be careful....you are playing with fire.
If you get to six and seven years of waiting.....you'll be trading a goal , which could of been a dream, for torture.
I watch a zillion channels and they all improve with each upload; The complete opposite effect of one hit wonders in the music world.
But...the real gem is that Life is an Edit; as you make videos you hone your own skills: ....organization, public speaking, thinking in an efficient way,...even being quick on your feet when something goes wrong.
Most of all, you learn to laugh.
Should you already have some of these tools...then imagine how much fun, for us, it will be if you share videos!
Best time to start was 3-5 years ago, next best time is now 😎👍
@@EvanGaleano That is what I have been doing, I've been just recording and practicing my video editing and graphic design skills with my recordings. But then I realized I like the logo and the videos I've made so I've decided to start posting them.
This is INVALUABLE insight for aspiring creators. Let's get to it!
Perfect timing! I just started doing videos and content on Instagram and TikTok and now found you! Great advise and I love your story!
Just make sure you keep showing up and be consistent. You'll have periods where you get nothing and periods where you get something. Anyone can be successful on social media they just have to not give up.
This video just changed my mentality from defeated to deflated, to hopeful. ❤ Thank you.
You got this!
Very inspiring to watch this on a Monday morning. It's brought me to tears listening to your story. I've Had imposter syndrome for so long and it's difficult to get out of it. One thing I would suggest you do is create a community - I think so many are lonely and would benefit from a place and safe space to talk and share their journeys as well as be part of a community and new friendships ! Thank you for your videos!!
Totally agree with the idea of a community!😊
Ben, thank you for being so honest and encouraging. I love your authenticity. Keep it up, young man.
I love the honesty and unfiltered self-reflection! I am getting inspired to start creating content after overthinking it and not creating enough. Going to start with high volume, and it is going to suck, but I will learn something new each day! Thank you for this video! Subscribed, and looking forward to following your progression!
Nice video! I started YT by creating mobile game guides, specifically for 1 game for a few years then I switched to a different game for a few years. Gave up of those to focus on other aspects of my life and I’d always dreamed of starting a more “real” or personal channel.. finally I’ve decided to do it so I’m just re beginning my journey, but this feels like the start of my true journey- the other channels I knew were temporary, but I’m hoping this grows into a main part of my life.
You got me when you said you cried when you felt free. I'm not thinking about content creating right now but I did quit my job because I can't handle not having my freedom anymore. It was frustrating me and getting me sick. Not quite sure where I'll end up one or two months from now, maybe just getting a different full time job, but I want to build something else that gives me that feel you describe.
Cheers man, congrats and I hope wherever you go from here, you feel happy.
I left my 9-5 last week. Felt the same. Couldn't take it anymore. This video has a lot of insight. Salute to you and hope all is well.
I've only just started and it has changed my life too. I must say that i'm already professionally highly successful and it has received the stress of being desperate to succeed and make money out of this. It's more about "I have found my purpose"
Dare to be Exceptional.
Dare to be Uncommon!
I clicked on this video thinking I'll watch maybe 2-3 minutes. I ended up watching the whole thing. What a story. Thanks for being highly authentic. Thanks for inspiring.
The whole do I wanna be in middle management forever or change it up is a big issue for me. I appreciate you sharing and being vulnerable about your struggles and realistic. All the videos I have seen have been great. Good job!
Yeah it wasn't something I was ever sure of. I'm not a great people manager tbh and was struggling to see how I would also find progression in corporate if I didn't commit to managing. Working for myself has been my goal since I turned 18.
The joy and authenticity in this video is so heartwarming and refreshing to see. I’m so thrilled to see you thriving, sincerely. You give me hope 💜 I’m excited to see what you do next!
Good to gear your story man, keep at it. Has certainly changed my life too and all for the better!
Thank you man appreciate it, will never stop keeping at it. Always highs and lows.
Man was this inspiring. Your willingness to share your emotions and personal growth/struggles along the way have given me the courage to begin my own informational channel. Thank you for being so open, transparent and genuinely honest.
I just started a week ago after talking myself out of it for 10 years !!! God bless and good luck to you all !

Excellent video, Ben. I see a lot of my own personal journey in your journey, and I loved your honesty regarding being a full-time content creator. Your insights were spot on. Keep up the great work and keep creating.❤
“I’m relatively hungry all the time…” LOVE THIS
Bro I don't know what's gonna happen but I finally started and today is my 4th day. Wish me luck guys

He's famous now, we're nothing to him.

Thank you so much. This was so inspiring and honest!!! This is my 3rd year creating content and now more than ever I’m committed to make it happen. I want the freedom, I want to manage my time, my agenda, my schedule and take the projects I really enjoy doing. Thank you, Ben!
Just re started my Chanel on TH-cam after 2 years of taking a break . Been in the TV and film space for many years , now really want my own freedom to work my own content creation. I wish I can at least 1k subscribers at one point . I’ll keep going ! Thanks for good content brother . I just subscribed

@@KlassyEsi Thank you and you as well
I need to hear this, Ben! Thanks for all the inspiration, man. I'll be going full-time content creator soon.
Great video, great journey! I wish you all the best of success
I had to stop in the middle of the video because I was moved to tears. For years its been my dream to create content. I began streaming on twitch five years ago but never fully committed and then stopped after a year. This video has truly inspired me to restart and dedicate myself wholeheartedly, regardless of others opinions. Thank you so much!
Hell, yeah man, congratulations. Just the motivation I needed I promise you that. I am just starting at 64 and this is probably the best one that I have seen as far as motivation goes. Well done, sir enjoy.
YOU FREAKING GO!!!
No time like the present
Just started with one subscriber.. the journey of content creation begins here 👍
Best of luck!
As a "content" creator, it feels so fulfilling to make stuff, regardless of how great my vids are. That alone is worth it.
There is something special about being cringe on the internet forever 😂
There is an abundance of these kind of videos. But this one resonated with me like no other. I was taken back by my emotional response to this. More so because I don’t know why. You certainly struck a nerve.
I’m in my mid fifties and currently in a less than desirable circumstance. With regard to content creating I’m as green as you get. Desperation has led me to consider anything to try and make a meaningful and profound change in my life.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I have no idea what I will do, but listening to your story has moved me. I appreciate you and am thankful you took the time to share. Here’s to continued success and blessings. Thank you very much.
damn the algorithm is blessing me today haha new sub, looking forward to following the journey man! 500 subs here and really loving the process
I need to tell you this.. the most authentic contents I’ve ever watched. Thank you for doing it!
I love how real you are, even showing emotion. I've been on the fence when it comes to creating and dabbled in my own creations in the past (streaming video games, fitness tiktoks/shorts, and some generalized promo videos).. I have an amazing job to learn how to craft my skills (News photographer/editor) and I've been doing that for about a year and a half. My real goal is to find "freedom" as you mentioned while creating. I know it will take a ton of work and long hours (again, as you mentioned), but I thank you for this video.. I think this gave me the inspiration I need to finally get going again.
I'm as real as they come, I'm a very honest creator, I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. I'm sick to death of these influencer gurus making it out like it's easy to make 10k a month
As a nano creator and an 80's baby that knew nothing about this corner of the world. And social media as a whole, for someone who only ever had a Facebook profile that posted maybe twice a year. This was inconceivable. But once I started, it became overwhelming and I felt that I would never come close and that I didn't have what it takes. Then over the past 2 months I decided to just improve by 1 percent each time. Today coming across this video you have calmed my mind and anxiety-ridden thoughts. I've watched so so so many videos on how to grow and what to do but this video stole my soul Thank you Ben. And taking this one day at a time seems so much more doable instead of chasing what other creators are achieving. You changed one person's life today!!!!
Yes...l record and edit using my phone,l am the one doing all that... because I just started!at the end of the day l am proud of myself
you are a creator, artist or creator to me there one in the same. creating is like a drug to me, its like an addiction and its a deep dive into who we really are and sometimes it is kinda scary but we must keep moving forward, this world can hit hard, the important thing is you keep going set that goal HIGH and run for it, i like your story very transforming. thank you
The sad music made me expect some horrible plot twist at the end lol
I hear ya lol. I think he was going for a more inspirational feel 😊
So happy for you and your journey. Could really see the true emotion behind your realization that you were “officially” doing it.. super inspirational for the rest of us. Thank you
I'm really enjoying creating this style of video. Are there any other topics related to content creation you want me to talk about?
Yes! How to build a content strategy. Love your content on tik tok and ig and love it here as well🔥
@@MohamedAnouar7 I agree!
@@MohamedAnouar7 Yeah I can do that. Give me some time to plan because that would be a long ass video but I'll put it in my list and think about how to do it over next month or so.
this style of videos kept me way more engaged than these over-edited videos! i was wondering how did you get over that fear of other people's judgment also why not share some tips on ''how to creat viral content ''?
loved the video, would like to know more about how you analysed trends to tweak your content, and how you improved your growth
This was so inspiring to me. The way you talk about the feeling you had that first month is exactly the feeling I so desperately want to experience and I will get there eventually. Thank you for reminding me to not give up and continue to chase my dreams ✨
The feeling is indescribable, it's like nothing I've ever felt before in my life and I am not an emotional person
This video changed my life and outlook. Hi Ben, your openness is what makes your content stand above the rest. I've finally started my channel. I'm so thankful YT showed me your video. Thank you 💙🙌🏼💪🏼
thank you so much for the kind words, I'm glad I could make a difference
When I saw the thumbnail "Just Start" It resonates what I am going through these past few months. I wanted to restart again doing art and start my youtube channel (other account) which I already did. However, I did not upload any videos yet. I know that it is not an accident that I saw your video, this is a reminder for me to push myself and create art again and document my journey.
As somebody grinding in different content industries for over a decade while maintaining full-time clients, this resonated a lot and motivated me to always push through. That sense of freedom must feel overwhelming, but it is exactly what most strive for in their lifestyle. Proud of you Ben, keep up the great content!
I really enjoyed this video. Super encouraging. It's good to know that other creators get stuck and have to pivot a few times as well. Keep up the great work.
Progress over perfection, so inspiring to hear your story
Thank you so much!
Always appreciate hearing fellow creator’s insights along their adventure. I relaunched my YT channel just this past summer (3rd time’s the charm, lol) and sticking with it this time. Most consistent I’ve ever been and I’m excited for the road again. Best wishes to everyone - we out here 🐦🔥
This was super encouraging to watch 🎉 God bless. I think one take away from me was learning to build slowly and go through process. Only those that go through process, have something to bring to the table. Thanks man
thank you ❤️
Thank you, your authentic and sweet story truly are wonderful to hear, and you didn't switch up to be a jerk. I am impressed, you are a breath of fresh air. I'm 63, struggling with my you tube journey, but not quitting. Thank you! God Bless❤
