But he's right, nobody cares! And it was great lol. Now I've just passed 100 subscribers and the community that's popping up around my content seems really passionate about my niche and I look forward to their interactions. I think that's a benefit I wasn't expecting and have never heard anybody talk about.

“Use your unfair advantages” is really opening things up for me. It changed the game from “How can I develop the best skills for RU-vid?” (which can be daunting) to “How can I use the skills I have to make RU-vid videos that only I can make?” … though to be fair, I probably still need to brush up on my RU-vid skills.

I live in a country where getting paid an equivalent of 5 dollars for a full day's work (6am-8pm) is very normal, most people earn this or less and only a few make more but you need 'big connections' This is regardless of your level of education. That being said, I got motivated to get into RU-vid so that in the long term, I will be able to have a flexible schedule to enjoy life as I earn a fair amount of money.

Good day Ali! I really like how genuine and helpful you are in sharing your best practices to your audience who are also aspiring to become known with their passions. I started my channel on 2020 with the same reason of uploading contents that I am passionate of (Excel VBA and Music). At first, establishing a name as an Excel Content Creator was really hard because of competition. Only the ones with higher subscriber counts and good vlogging gears are being recognized. But with the help of RU-vid analytics and its other features, these helped me figure out that there are also viewers who are into straightforward contents like they want to get the answer with quick explanation right away. Now, I am about to reach 3000 subscribers, monetized, and somewhat gaining a generous number of views from supporters of straightforward approach. Thank you for helping all aspiring content creators to continue sharing what they are best at and that their peak will also come. Take care!

Best ad experience, glad to give you Ad views because Outlander trailer and an ad for my employer! Pottery class analogy resonated with me because pottery this actually happened to me in sculpture class (yeah both involve clay), we were divided into quantity projects vs 1 project, and I chose to do quantity to spend more time on developing skills and my professor was impressed with my work towards the end and I got an A. Also it was more fun to do more projects. I am working on my first video and yes, sculpture is a primary component 😉 I definitely believe your advice.

@prettydisabled9060 2 года назад

Another tip I'd add which I'm learning as a beginner is don't let not knowing something stop you from uploading contents. For example I have been working on editing about a 20 minute video, I also have hour long videos that I have yet to even go near since recording. There's so much I got to learn about editing. And instead of getting so caught up with learning everything and not uploading any content: I decided to balance it out with working on smaller projects in between, that I know I can work with at my level. In the same token you also don't want to avoid bigger projects that you want to get done. So it's about finding balance. Don't get demotivated and every little bit you learn gets you closer to your goal. Slow and steady can win too. :)

Ali I finally posted my first video in my new channel and all thanks to this video.. can’t thank you enough.. and you rightly said, it feels so much less scary when you finally hit the publish button. I’m more excited about posting good content and improving myself and that fear is suddenly gone. You are amazing🙌🏻

as someone who also just started youtube, i really want to encourage everyone to just go for it! You never really know how much fun it is until you get viewers commenting on how helpful/entertaining they found your videos! We got this✨✨✨

@IanSolano 2 года назад

This has to have been the most helpful and non bs video on starting RU-vid. So many people tell you to focus on your niche at the start which then delays the process of actually STARTING. I started a few months ago and just started vlogging my life and experiences as a Brit on the Centarl Coast of California and I'll see where it goes from there. Thanks again, mate.

@rudig5698 3 года назад

That’s exactly what I needed. I started my RU-vid channel in May 2020 and I never realized how much work goes into it. Now I can really appreciate whenever I watch a video of someone, because I know that it took a lot of time and effort to create any kind of video. Thank you for sharing your insights!🙏🏻❤️

@SimpleStrategy 3 года назад

"Focus on quantity, not quality" Definitely agree with this, learnt a lot more by making several videos than spending loads of time overly planning.

It seems like it would be the opposite but makes sense @simplestrategy!

@SimpleStrategy 3 года назад

@@loading...4388 Thats what i thought at first, I spent around 4-5 days making my first video. But now looking back I realised that I've learnt so much more and actually would have been better to make two videos spending two days on each. Obviously there's a balance but my advice would be to not stress as much as I did over your first video.

@SimpleStrategy 3 года назад

What people will think if I start a RU-vid channel. One of my worst fear. Nobody cares. It's true. I started my channel and working on it. 37 videos uploaded 17 lives and going to upload 2 videos every week for 2 years. Thank you, Ali. You are my mentor.

@thechrisverhoeven 2 года назад

Thanks, Ali, for that final push. I did it. I just took out my phone and recorded my very first video. And although it was awkward, since I didn't edit anything and just uploaded it, it does feel like a step in the right direction although it still feels a bit weird. But it will be fun to see where I'll be at in 1 year from now. Also just received your 2nd email from the 7-day email course. Have a great day and thank you again for sharing these tips.

I agree with everything you mentioned in this video! I've always loved recording videos but never felt confident enough to put them out there. The hardest part of RU-vid is realizing that no one cares what you are doing and that you should just worry about yourself. I recently started uploading videos and just came back here to say thank you for that small nudge that you gave me!

@sarkmangaming8164 3 года назад

Outsourcing editing is something I'm SO glad I did, especially around exam season when I'm super busy. I've noticed really detailed explicit communication on what you're looking for goes a long way when hiring editors, don't assume they have the same vision for your video, give them lots and lots of detail.
