00:00:00
so you're thinking about starting a
00:00:01
YouTube channel right the fact that
00:00:02
you're here watching this with no videos
00:00:04
uploaded and no Channel Insight says
00:00:06
you're stuck you're struggling with
00:00:08
something and that's totally normal but
00:00:10
don't worry I've been on YouTube long
00:00:12
enough to know exactly how to help you
00:00:14
so let's not waste any more time and get
00:00:16
right to it here's the big idea you're
00:00:18
going to think I'm crazy but YouTube is
00:00:20
actually all about not caring I know
00:00:23
that sounds totally counterintuitive but
00:00:25
hear me out when you're starting a
00:00:26
channel your brain is full of doubts
00:00:28
right like what if nobody watches or
00:00:30
what if this is just all a giant waste
00:00:32
of money those thoughts they are poison
00:00:35
and that's where not caring comes in you
00:00:37
have to brush those thoughts aside like
00:00:39
they're just junk mayale dismiss them as
00:00:41
useless fears because honestly why worry
00:00:43
about whether you'll get used when the
00:00:45
truth is you won't get views yeah that's
00:00:48
the hard truth you have to face most
00:00:50
creators myself included got no views on
00:00:52
her first videos especially when you're
00:00:54
new and figuring it all out here's what
00:00:56
it's going to look like you will upload
00:00:58
your first video and for few days it's
00:01:00
going to sit there totally ignored then
00:01:02
you upload a second one and maybe that
00:01:04
one just sits there too that's how it
00:01:06
goes when you're new it takes time to
00:01:08
get momentum and there is just no
00:01:10
shortcut around it when I started my
00:01:12
tech Channel I had zero audience no
00:01:14
magical trick to bring people in I knew
00:01:16
a bit about YouTube sure but that only
00:01:18
got me a few views here and there not
00:01:20
enough to blow things up right away it
00:01:22
took quite a few videos before things
00:01:24
even began to roll so you have to be
00:01:26
ready for that the odds of getting big
00:01:28
off a single video are almost zero
00:01:31
you've got to be consistent upload
00:01:33
regularly even when no one's watching
00:01:35
consistency and Patience are literally
00:01:38
the keys here and For the Love of All
00:01:40
Things YouTube stop measuring your
00:01:42
success by views in the beginning it's
00:01:45
honestly the wrong way to look at it
00:01:47
measure your success by how long you've
00:01:49
been at it I've been a YouTuber for over
00:01:51
12 years now and my first videos they
00:01:53
were about card tricks the journey is
00:01:56
long and those views will come if you
00:01:58
stick around all you need is one video
00:02:00
just one that pops off and starts the
00:02:02
momentum here's the catch you never know
00:02:05
when that will happen could be the first
00:02:06
one could be the 50th like when we
00:02:08
started our AI Channel AI Master we
00:02:11
weren't expecting our first video to
00:02:13
blow up but it did and now we're sitting
00:02:15
over 880,000 subs earn us well let's
00:02:18
just say a nice income every month that
00:02:20
one video gave us the push we needed but
00:02:22
it wasn't guaranteed and it took a lot
00:02:25
of work to keep that momentum going now
00:02:27
I know you're probably worried about
00:02:29
making that first video Perfect totally
00:02:32
understandable you want to make a good
00:02:34
impression but here's the reality check
00:02:36
let go of perfection for your first
00:02:38
video just let it go look at Mr B's
00:02:41
first video nothing fancy same with mine
00:02:44
those early videos of mine are far from
00:02:46
perfect but they are the necessary
00:02:48
Stepping Stones quality improves over
00:02:51
time with practice and experience if you
00:02:53
keep stressing about getting it perfect
00:02:55
from day one you will never actually hit
00:02:57
upload just make the video put put it
00:03:00
out there and keep improving as you go
00:03:02
what we're really talking about here
00:03:04
isn't even the quality of your videos
00:03:06
it's your mindset it's that fear you
00:03:09
have of starting with no subscribers
00:03:11
here's the thing even if you uploaded
00:03:13
your worst video to someone else's
00:03:15
popular Channel people would still ask
00:03:17
who you are when opening the video they
00:03:20
don't know you yet same idea with your
00:03:22
new channel no one knows you yet and
00:03:24
that's normal you have to build that
00:03:26
reputation and this whole thing about
00:03:28
need and subscribers forget it
00:03:30
subscribers are nice but they're not
00:03:32
everything look at our Tech channel has
00:03:34
over 100,000 Subs but the actual number
00:03:37
of return viewers is around 520,000 same
00:03:41
deal with our AI Channel people watch
00:03:44
without subscribing and sometimes they
00:03:46
subscribe without watching subscriber
00:03:48
count doesn't automatically mean success
00:03:50
it's more of a Tracker of how long
00:03:52
you've been putting in the work every
00:03:54
100 views you get that's like on average
00:03:57
one new subscriber so if you're aiming
00:03:59
for that magic number the first th000
00:04:01
Subs you are aiming for around 100,000
00:04:04
views but here's where it gets
00:04:06
interesting it's not your current Subs
00:04:08
that will push this number up it's that
00:04:09
first wave of viewers who discover your
00:04:12
video that really matters this kind of
00:04:14
Discovery usually happens naturally on
00:04:16
the big platforms like YouTube Instagram
00:04:19
Tik Tok they're designed to push content
00:04:21
out to random folks and see who bites
00:04:23
but most other social networks were not
00:04:26
built with that same discoverability in
00:04:28
mind when you post something the
00:04:30
algorithm doesn't care if you are
00:04:32
complete newbie it well tests your video
00:04:34
out with random users if people Vibe
00:04:36
with it we are talking likes comments
00:04:39
views then boom the platform shows it to
00:04:41
even more people and guess what being
00:04:43
new and having Zero Subs can actually
00:04:45
play in your favor believe it or not
00:04:48
some creators would love to start fresh
00:04:50
because new accounts often get a little
00:04:52
push from the platform as it tries to
00:04:54
figure out where you fit in plus there's
00:04:57
no baggage from all followers who've
00:04:59
moved on over time even loyal fans can
00:05:01
lose interest what people were excited
00:05:03
about a year ago might not be on their
00:05:05
radar today so you end up with
00:05:07
subscribers who just don't click on your
00:05:09
stuff anymore and those ghost followers
00:05:11
are actually making it harder for your
00:05:13
new videos to gain traction because the
00:05:15
algorithm sees that your own audience
00:05:17
isn't engaging and assumes the video
00:05:19
might not be worth showing around so
00:05:21
yeah sometimes being a newbie does pay
00:05:23
off so let go of the subscriber count
00:05:26
and while you're added let go of
00:05:28
stressing over video quality do you
00:05:30
really think anyone's going to bounce
00:05:31
just because your video looks like it
00:05:33
was shot on the potato yes I'm sitting
00:05:34
here with two Sony cameras a solid Li in
00:05:37
setup a nice microphone and a few other
00:05:39
trinkets that if I switch to an older
00:05:42
camera or made this video look less
00:05:43
polished will you click off I know you
00:05:45
wouldn't and you know it too the truth
00:05:48
is most people are watching your video
00:05:50
on their tiny phone screens for them
00:05:52
there is practically zero difference
00:05:54
between 4K and 720 so stop getting cut
00:05:58
up and buying soft boxes fancy cameras
00:06:01
and mountain of gear just grab your
00:06:03
phone and start filming what really
00:06:06
matters to viewers is the information
00:06:07
you're giv them now audio quality that's
00:06:10
something that makes a difference bad
00:06:11
sound yeah that's one of the things that
00:06:13
will make people click away so focus on
00:06:16
making sure your audio is clear next
00:06:19
give people something that feels worth
00:06:21
their time if someone chooses to watch
00:06:23
your video make sure they don't walk
00:06:25
away thinking well that was a waste of
00:06:27
time give enough value to to make them
00:06:30
feel like their time was well spent
00:06:32
that's how you earn loyalty from your
00:06:34
viewers is it tough to nail this right
00:06:36
out of the gate absolutely it's going to
00:06:38
take some practice if one video doesn't
00:06:40
pop make another and another and another
00:06:43
but that brings us to a real issue
00:06:45
burnout you don't want that trust me the
00:06:47
best way I found to avoid burning out is
00:06:49
by building a team when you have a crew
00:06:52
that can step in and help it's a game
00:06:54
changer my tech Channel my AI Channel
00:06:56
even the channels of our clients they
00:06:58
are successful because of the teams
00:07:00
behind them behind every video there is
00:07:02
a creative director script writer host
00:07:05
cameraman and an editor trying to do it
00:07:07

00:07:10

00:08:09

00:08:12
worried about what people might think
00:08:13
let me tell you a secret no one actually
00:08:16
cares at least not until you get big
00:08:19
when I started my first channel I was
00:08:20
worried too thinking everyone was
00:08:22
watching and judging but here's the
00:08:24
truth days went by then weeks then
00:08:26
months and nobody said a thing I was
00:08:29
posting video after video and it was
00:08:32
radio silence but the second I hit the
00:08:34
first big moment suddenly the DM started
00:08:37
rolling in friends from scho were
00:08:39
reaching out and words spread fast some
00:08:41
people were supportive genuinely happy
00:08:43
for me and others well let's just say
00:08:45
they had questions why is he making
00:08:48
these silly videos instead of focusing
00:08:50
on real stuff since we're kids Society
00:08:53
has this way of teaching us to stay
00:08:55
quiet to play small you are too young
00:08:58
what do you know or I will care what you
00:09:00
think when you're the boss all that
00:09:02
nonsense but being a YouTuber is about
00:09:04
pushing back against all that you've got
00:09:06
to believe that your voice does matter
00:09:08
that your opinions and ideas are worth
00:09:11
sharing with the world look anyone
00:09:13
stalking shels and Tech ale at Walmart
00:09:15
can review a phone list its price list
00:09:17
its specs throw it on YouTube and start
00:09:19
raging abuse maybe even some cash let's
00:09:22
be real for a sec most of them aren't
00:09:24
working there because they're hardcore
00:09:26
Tech enthusiasts or always dreamed of
00:09:29
sell phones they just ended up there a
00:09:31
lot of people are in jobs that doesn't
00:09:33
tap into their real potential or passion
00:09:36
they are clocking in clocking out and
00:09:38
wondering if there is something more and
00:09:40
that's why you need to put yourself out
00:09:42
there start sharing what you know what
00:09:44
you think and what you love because if
00:09:46
you're passionate about it someone else
00:09:48
out there will be too now think about a
00:09:50
doctor or a teacher they're not earning
00:09:53
Millions not because their work is
00:09:55
invaluable because those careers don't
00:09:57
scale easily a doctor can treat
00:10:00
thousands of patients at once and a
00:10:01
teacher can only teach one class at a
00:10:04
time sure they could take on some extra
00:10:06
work like tutoring or Consulting but
00:10:08
that's about as far as it chaos now if
00:10:11
that same teacher starts making videos
00:10:13
on math certainly they can reach
00:10:15
thousands the millions and that's the
00:10:17
beauty of the internet it rewards reach
00:10:20
it loves scalability so if you're
00:10:22
hesitating doubting yourself here's what
00:10:24
I want you to remember even if you can't
00:10:26
fully trust yourself just yet lean on
00:10:28
the fact that I I believe in you that's
00:10:30
all you need to take the first step
00:10:32
here's what you should do right now stop
00:10:34
caring about all the doubts and worries
00:10:36
just let it go you have to learn The Art
00:10:39
of Letting Go starting a channel is a
00:10:40
leap of faith and you only need enough
00:10:42
strength to take the first step because
00:10:44
if you do means you've got what it takes
00:10:46
to keep going to upload regularly and to
00:10:49
get better and if you run into booms
00:10:51
along the way hit that link in the
