I wanted to quit after I got hacked and lost 16,000 subscribers. I took a couple weeks off and started a whole new UA-cam Channel. :)
@thinkmediatv you helped me keep my youtube going since I subscribed to you 5 years ago
@@dr.kerrisdillon1632 oh thats really bad...so sorry about that
Yes, we’ve considered. But after watching this, you’ve changed our minds.
Yes, definitely thinking about it. Editing takes too long to learn when you have to work. I'm not the only one with this problem naturally, so I know I'm not alone.
@@forkedtongue9121 I headed over to your channel and gave you a sub. Your more advanced on the editing than we are. Good job! Hang in there! We have a different channel we're trying to get off the ground, so don't go trying to repay the favor here on this one, Sir! Just our good deed to you. GL!😁
I'm not thinking about quitting UA-cam but this video speaks to me
Stop lying
@@sks_Fcabout what part
Facts.
Yeah
I am
Quitting is NOT an option for me! As long as I am physically able and cognitively able , I will be producing content! I have been at this a year and just love the process! I know success will come!!
Boom!
That’s a great attitude to have. And as we go along, at the very least, we’re learning skills that we can apply elsewhere in life.
UA-cam is certainly the most challenging thing I've ever taken on in my entire life but I won't be quitting anytime soon!
Love your channel, keep up the great work! God blesses all of us. 🙏😊
@@alessandradonaldson thankyou so much.yes he does
me too.
Good luck!
Same♥️♥️
It’s super hard to not compare your growth to the growth of others in your niche, and that’s where I struggle. But I have to keep telling myself as long as I’m going up. But someone is sad by 1000 subscribers in a month? I would be ecstatic!! I’m excited if I get 50 in a month!
Right!
This is probably one of your best videos. We all need to hear a message like this, persevere. Thank you
Never give up and be patient. I will subscribe to some of your channels to support you. When I see something that's good to share , I will be sharing it to my Facebook . Keep pushing ❤
Most UA-camrs quit because they don`t have colleagues. I made about 700 videos over three years and don`t quit. Only because of the community of UA-camrs around me. We have a small group of about 20-30 people, which is real support.
Iies, you have 61 subscribers and 2 video😊
@@nomcebokhumalo9975😂
Gotta be quicker than that
I don’t wanna quit but this shit is hard
It is!!!! It really is,
I mean, if you like to post, you’ll do it anyway,
If not, ( if you don’t like to post ), then idk, probably do something else!
I tried to quit my UA-cam channel and my viewers were so upset and begged me not to leave them so I didn’t hear I am 120,000 subscribers later I absolutely love this platform
Good.
That’s the crazy part though, if you have an audience, you shouldn’t leave.
Once you don’t have an audience, then you leave!
Thank you for this video! Your right! I needed to hear this. We will definitely get some highs and lows. Always good to reflect and make improvements.💪🏾
I’ve poured almost all my free time into my channel and after almost a year I still haven’t seen any growth(from my long forms). It’s getting to the point where I’m not even sure I can sustain this channel for the next few years due to school. I just wish I could see some payoff, because quitting is starting to seem like the best option.
(Also I know there are still things I can do to improve my channel, but I’m not sure what to do next)
Thanks. I really needed this. You touched on things that I have actually thought about and how I have been benchmarking my progress.
Thank you so so much for this! Your perseverance is so inspirational
Thank you very much for sharing! Very inspiring!! Currently on the journey of my UA-cam travel channel, and i wish everybody else good luck too!
I haven't even started yet but your videos are pushing me closer and closer.
And I love how you guys said write a script I see you looking down at something and it totally makes sense. I would totally lose my spot if I did not have something written. 👌🏾👌🏾
Thanks for the enlightenment !!! Very much appreciated and needed
Wow I needed this ! I’ve been on UA-cam for about 3 years now and lately the idea of “quitting” has been entering my mind because the growth has been sooo slow and I am anxious about the future of my life and business. But I’ve realized I’ve grown in a since that I am monetized (just not at the level I want to be), my editing is better, thumbnails , etc. I realized that I am going to have to make a pívot but I am proud of myself and I’m not giving up on my dream! This was so timely! Thanks for always inspiring ❤
Thank you! I really wanted to hear that!
Thanks for the insight and encouragement! This was a timely word.
I'm in the dip! 😁 As long as I enjoy making my art I will continue to share on UA-cam.😊
Thanks for the reminder
After listening to what you have said in this video and having felt that I haven't really been getting the growth that I expected, I realized that my channel has actually been growing and I need to be more patient and celebrate the small improvements and success I have been seeing on my channel. I will try and be more patient and see where my journey leads me.
I agree with you I was thinking the same thing but I’m growing as well. Wow 😮
Thank you for this
This was a huge help. Thank you!
I needed to hear this today - thanks Sean 🙏🏼
Such a timely video. 200 subs after 1 year. It's definitely time for a pivot. Thank you so much for your super valuable content
I love how you incorporated this into life lessons! Thank you Sean!
This is always the same:
our desire is so huge, our expectations are so high that our view is distorted and soon we loose patience. This is the hardest skill to stay on track: endurance
Good luck and encouragement to all of you!
You can do it and will do it. Just don't forget this!
Much love 💕
Matthias 👋
Yeah right. It applies to all of life. Hope it serves you well!
@@thesoberbros yeah my friend, this is my main topic ... in everything.
Nice week 👋
Thank you, I needed to hear that.
Thank you! Amazing advice and very timely for me!
Definitely needed this video. Thanks for the motivation.
Thanks a lot, needed this
There is too much value in 9 minutes.
Great job!
Thank you❤
Excellent advice. Thanks
This is Fun going back to your history. My latest fun thing. Looking at successful channels first videos and stinkers. So when you see comment on old video (long tail content never spoils) that’s this guy me. Great work respect.
I needed to hear this!!! 👊
Really needed this today. Thanks.
This is a great video, thank you for sharing this information.
Must be nice, I'm just clicking on videos that have your face on it now! Lol but as always, thank you for your help, it's so awesome of you just be handing this out!
“Most people are gonna stop once they enter the challenge” This one line has change my mindset completely 👏👏👏
This video speaks to me. Thanks for inspiring message and touching on the right things
Really needed this man. Thank you!
Thanks I needed this😊
Thank you so much for motivating us. This was much needed
This really helped! Thank you so much!
I’ve been asking for a video like this! I knew you guys would deliver! Thank you!
@ShaySunshyne I love you content & i just subbed!! keep going never give UP!!
Thanks for this!!! You da best!
I think the thing that get me is looking at other channel and they are growing far faster than my channel, I look at their videos and there is no different in our content 🤦🏽♀️
I agree!
Right,
thanks for this 🙏 very motivated
Thank you so much for this enlightening video! It came at a perfect time for me as I've been grappling with my own mindset and feeling stuck. I must admit, I'm guilty of the very thing you've highlighted here.
Just a month ago, I was struggling with subpar software to edit my videos. Now, I've made the leap and confidently use DaVinci Resolve. Your guidance has contributed to this improvement and many others in my personal and professional journey. I greatly appreciate your content and look forward to continuing to learn and grow with your help!
Part of the patience and expectations problem lies in the solution…while we want to motivate ourselves with the grandeur of someone else’s viral or “million subs in one month!” video, it can also warp our expectations.
We just need to stick with it, be patient, and check our expectations.
It’s just that easy! 😬
I’ve had many thoughts about quitting. And it would mostly be because of the views and sometimes the low retention spans on some of my vidoes. But I’ve been on UA-cam for only a year now and I’ve only made 74 videos and I have 480 subs. So I think I’m growing and functioning at a good pace. And another thing I really thought deeply about and what came to my realization is obviously UA-cam is a very broad platform. And my nechie for my channel is reacting to music and tv shows. So when I see some of videos getting low views or I look in my analytics and I see how many people swipe away and watch my vidoes. I don’t panic or worry to much because most of those people could just be interested in other topics that my channel doesn’t provide. So I’m proud of my growth and I’m going to continue to grow, no matter what. 🥰
That’s definitely a good way to put it. And yeah, you’re growing good, so you’re fine!
video really helped don't want to quit although it will be hard work i'll try keep going and seeing where this road will take me.
Thank you ,I was loosing hope and you made me feel stronger and hopefully
So timely. Thx for this ❤
Thank you!
For me is not the channel or do it or not but all the gears and tools and technical part that makes it sometimes exhausting and cause procrastination, until I figure out the way for automation on recording, it’s frying my brain with so many things to think about! 😣 but I get there! 🙏😊
Great video, nice bit of motivation thank you 💪
Thank you for your honest, positive, and practical videos! 😊
Thanks! Great insight. Also if you truly love something even if you're super small niche you should do it for yourself. We really need to do more life journeys that come from the heart. We all have room to grow above and beyond being trend chasers. I feel like people are starved for unique content because of clout chasing. Not everyone is going to make it Mr Big style. But they certainly can make the world a better place to live by sharing a need they see missing.
“Comparison is the thief of joy.” This is so so true! I started my channel 4 months ago and it’s definitely the most challenging venture I’ve ever taken on. But I’m so excited for the journey ❤
I just subbed to you doll love your content! Hope we all build amazing channels!
@@angelleburrus 😍 omg thank you so much! And yes, we will definitely build great channels - just a little patience and lot's of hard work! I just subbed to you as well. Thanks again for your support!
Yesss never compare only with yourself. I love planning and organizing ❤ I just subbed to you, good luck to all of us to keep going and celebrating the small wins 🎉
@@jozzieabroad You are so sweet, thank you! And yes, 100% celebrate the small wins 😍 btw, you are living my best life lol! I would LOVE to travel and one of these days I'm going to just take a year off and travel everywhere!
@@ThePlannerAisle you will do it! all that planning and organizing will lead to great things ❤️
Thanks man, I Know i just started, and just hit 20 videos but i'm gonna keep going!
This video is clutch because I've gorn from getting 62k views in my first month to all my videos flopping this week.
True
Best Video.. 👍 Thanks !!!
Thanks 🙏
It's disappointing that it has not even passed 100 views for my long-form content, but on a brighter note, I keep telling myself that I've just started and still have more work to do. I always listen to your podcasts and watch your videos. Thank you, very informative!👍
Needed to hear this today! Thanks Sean!
My pleasure!
Great advice 💯
Sean, this was great! Thank you! 😇🙏🏾
Great tips I have two channels, considered just closing both my channels... Its sucka seeing other same content channels start after you and blow up... it is very discouraging
One of the best videos. Not one of those clickbait bs vids. This video really helps deal with the mindset you have to have when starting a new channel. I started my music channel 3 weeks ago and am growing “slowly” and was starting to get self doubt thoughts until i realized “i JUST started this channel. Of course i dont have 1k subs yet. I need to chill”!
As I just posted my first video… this video is a save to revisit whenever we face the dip
thank you so much for your content. i LOVE being a youtube creator. it’s super hard but it’s a challenge that i take and i want to be a full time youtuber ! :)
Listen, I typically don’t comment. But this… I was just asking myself if I should quit!!!! I sooooo needed this today ❤
Thanks for taking the time. Glad this video was valuable. Appreciate you!
Thanks for the message I needed to hear this today… one thing I know for sure although my growth is slow I am learning valuable lessons along the way. I am learning to value the journey and I will make it to the other side. God bless you Sean and Think Media!
Keep going angela!! You got also nice content! I just sub to support you❤
Thank you 😊
@@LatinFlow thank you so much for the support and encouragement. I visited and subscribed to your channel. Great music!
@@angelaw.consulting Your Welcome I Will Continue supporting you!!
I really needed to hear this... I didn't have the right mindset even though it's slow. I have been growing!
You got this!
People want to see more videos and always happy comments when I post but UA-cam holds my videos back even from subscribes, even though I cover the from YT recommendet topics etc, I just don’t have fun and reason anymore!
Thanks for all your work❤ ( not talking about this channel I’m commenting from!)
Thanks
Persist while others are quitting. Sometimes failure is just a motivation to try again even harder than last time. I've been on UA-cam since 2007 made another account in 2015 and posted my first video in late 2022. Didn't get a single view nor sub until February 3 of this year, should I quit nope should you differently not🙏
Right about time I’m about to quit. Thank you for the inspiration.
I really needed this ❤
Great advice 👍🏾
Thank you
I committed to doing this for a year and I will reevaluate. I must admit it is tough not getting any new subs. Trying to implement what I have been learning through Think Media but it is so slow.
I love how y'all are faith focused!
What do you when your channel is crashing and burning? I would love to find a UA-cam consultant that is affordable and can give real world actionable advice.
I once heard someone say “keep creating. Even if you feel like your not getting what you want. “Keep creating”. 1 new subscriber or 10 this is growth. 1 extra view or 10 extra views it is growth. Only stop if you consistently get less views then your previous video. Also, compare yourself to yourself. You want to improve on your own work.
Which is similar to what Sean said here. I’m in 2 years now and over 200 videos made. I’m at 494 subs and so close to the new partner program requirements I can taste it.
Did I want to quit. Many times I hovered over the delete button. But If I had I wouldn’t have made it this far. It’s the hardest thing to make videos when it feels like your doing it for yourself. But when you change your mindset that’s when things get much easier.
If I only get 10 views I’m happy. Because that’s 10 people that wouldn’t of seen my video if I never made it. 👍
Thanks for the encouragement 😔 😟
You got this!
UA-cam has been the hardest work I’ve done but it’s all move so I’ll love doing it. I’m almost at 10k subs in under 8 months. The biggest thing I did was just ok consistent with posting videos.
Cool😊
Past week was 4k...2.2k...now since past 5 videos it's 2 views😂...Quit...No not an option. Thanks for video🎉 it's inspiring ❤🌹🌹
You shared very helpful advice for all aspiring UA-camrs.👏🏻
Spitting straight gold! How do I get a channel review? ❤ I’ve been trying to grind 2 years and still in the dip! 😭
I feel you
thank you 🙏 patiently waiting to see my channel grow
I'd love if you could address other factors that turn creators away from YT.
For me, it is highly problematic that YT's business model has consistently become less humane, more aggressive, and more exploitative. Removal of basic functions such as viewing video ratings, sorting comments in chronological order, messaging other creators; forced conversion of videos into shorts; removal of the right to choose what we monetize; removal of ability for the support team to communicate with the development team; restriction of several content ID services from small creators (even when our content is constantly being ripped and infringed); deleting videos from playlists without informing us; and on and on. UA-cam literally shadow bans people now, censors certain channels and creators, has deleted entire channels that focused on political corruption (including Pulitzer Prize winners), and much worse.
If your only message to people is, "Just youtube harder!" then not only are you telling people to accept all of this, but encouraging more businesses to do the same. You're in a sense pushing society in a negative direction.
Again, I'd love to hear any advice you have for people like me, who have become increasingly disgusted by Google/YT's inhumanity.
And here's the thing: I could be wildly "successful" (in the fame and fortune sense) if I decided to ignore the bad and just jump on the bandwagon. Or if I were in this for the money.
Absolutely. Disgusting aggressive business. In the future UA-cam will become the biggest viewed pornsite in the world as that is what draws viewers and subscribers and one becomes super rich. The good quality content doesn't matter its only the trashy that brings money. UA-cam is getting worse and worse.
I’ve only clicked on this video because I wanna know who’s a quitter…. If you started UA-cam never quit because that moment you’ve quit maybe that one video can that you feel like it’s wack can be your breakthrough one…. I have a video with almost 21k views and suppose I’m a quitter, I wouldn’t receive that much…. Keep up the good work you’re a genius on this 🙏🏾
Everyone’s story and success is totally different, but I get what you’re saying!👍
This was a great video. I currently started UA-cam covering Diablo 4 and I understand this completely. I set a goal to hit 1k subs by September and I am seeing growth but definitely understanding you just need to be patient and consistent and try to improve something with every upload.
Perseverance is the word of the day!
ThinkMedia always posts the right content at the right time. Many people will benefit from this video. Thank you for helping us through this journey.
