Roberto Blake Thank you!
Thank you your awesome 👏✊👍 by
Consistency
I need to be more organized!
🔥 Thanks for this, Roberto!
I need to definitely work on setting my other camera up and editing with multiple angles in mind. Just keepin' things fresh and interesting for my viewers. 👍
Ok, let me put this conversation in context: I am 53 years old. When I graduated from college in 1987 we took photographs with film and paid a lot of money to get them developed. I don’t think we even had video? We didn’t have the internet, we didn’t have email, we didn’t have social media. The platform we had? Was a photocopier. Paper, staples, zines. And I’m not saying this to be a grouchy old person. I am saying this because I am a brand new UA-camr with a couple videos and a handful of subscribers and I’m THRILLED that I have any platform at all to make my videos with my iPad and a window and iMovie. This is the best time to be alive and be a creative, a maker, to have a message and find an audience! Listen to Robert! He knows of what he speaks. Have patience. Do the work. Have fun. Connect. Find your tribe. Create create create!
As a 34... soon to 35 year old I do get this!!!
@Marta! I'm 43 & I'm right there with you!!
Omg..I've seen your channel before! As a now Retired Preschool Teacher & former Special Ed Student..thank you!!!
Well put!
You could afford a dime per copy for a photocopier? One of those rich girls, huh? We poor country guys were still using stone tablets and a hammer and chisel back in the early 1970s.

☝️😃 OMG THIS THX
I totally agree with you on Quality vs Quantity. That is how I learned and got better. It worked! I got to 100k!
Wow that is awesome!
*Not a NEW content creator but WATCHING ANYWAY cuz I know this is going to be GOOD!!*
What did you think?
@@RobertoBlake hmm... the advice made sense but I kinda already had it in the back of my mind... I guess it's from being on UA-cam for 4 years?
I am, and he does have great advise. Very helpful
I am, and he does have great advise. Very helpful to me.
LOL same...
Excellent video and so true! Number one skill I'm working on improving right now is time management. My expectations for what I should be able to do versus how much I can do in a day and what I put priority on are not as closely related as they need to be.
My daily struggle! Learning to be good at the end of the day even if I still have some items I couldn't check off my to do list. No one said it was harder after 40 to have the same amount of energy I had at 20🤣
Totally agree Nick: I think the most valuable tool I’ve found to help make content is my Notion Dashboard to plan and manage my time. Find the balance and prioritise what’s really important... get more done!
@@BetterCreating yes
This is one thing I love about you man. You don’t sugarcoat. You tell it how it is. The truth that people need to hear! 👊🏻
Working on setting up more important conversations like this to really push people from their comfort zone to their zone of genius
Roberto Blake Love it! Looking forward to it!
Mind BLOWN 🤯 - Quantity over Quality - HUGE advice!
The number one skill I need to work on is making sure what I create is 'relevant' and 'searchable'. Number two I want to improve is quality of the video itself.
Roberto, as a 30 something starting out with a SMALL audience. I can vouch about first growing as a creator. There's SO much to learn and the numbers may come SO slowly and I'm grateful for everyone who joins me on my "discovery" journey when I'm still learning!
For someone who hates public speaking, who trembles on stage in a HUGE choir, UA-cam has definitely help me grow as a person, whether or not I make it as big as you. This is very inspiring Roberto.
Much respect,
Dawn
*UPDATE* my channel was stuck below 500 on my first 1.5 years and now it is still slowly crawling but much faster than before. So to small creators, don't think that your growth rate will remain the same. It keeps growing the more content you make and the more people you are able to reach. :)
Great to learn you're growing! I've just started out and despite it being a struggle (because of lack of time, mostly), I totally enjoy it!
You literally explained the exact reason I’ve been experiencing so much growth. I literally was just in the right place at the right time. I did it to get over shaking on camera and it just took off. Now it’s more about expansion. I think I may need to get over to that thumbnail video 😂
Daayyum, where'd you get those crab legs!!? Lol
MrsParchmans_World 🙈🙏🏾 thank you so much. That really just made me so happy! And yes sis it was a MESS. I had such bad anxiety, it comes out when I try to act but I’m always comfortable eating 😂👏🏽👏🏽
Absolutely. There is beauty and vulnerability in the imperfection. It connects in a gorgeous way and to be honest it sets you apart because most are concerned with quality and yes, still put out something that's valuable to someone else, but dont overthink.
Coming to your channel because YOU are the one person and channel I turn too when I need the truth, advice, and encouragement!! Thank you Roberto!!!
I have a niche audience & am ok with that. I just got monetized & it feels great to reach this goal. You are my #1 when it comes to UA-cam Creator advice. I have a lot to learn (& practice) when it comes to making my videos & will keep watching You for advice. Thank You Roberto 😇
I know I need to improve learning about the Analytics. I have no excuses as to why so I’m going to sit down and watch the videos by Creator Academy and implement them. I needed to hear this Brutally Honest talk. You never buffer anything and I appreciate that about you. Thank you.
You're right. It's taken me years of practice as an artist. I'll be 60 next month, and I'm still learning new things. Takes practice, practice, practice, and there's a lot of frustration along the way. But at my age I can't give up. NEVER give up!
"I'm not going to coddle you on this..." :D I love the straight-talk!!!! Thank you so much.
Thank you Roberto. Approach every goal with a step forward! Everyday is a new lesson towards growth!
Exactly this!!!
As a smaller creator I woke up to this and needed it, thank you so much for the push brother!
Skill I need, to get over the negative demons that whisper in my ear that I shouldn’t do YT because of not finding an audience. You are awesome RB!
Roberto , I've been watching a while and hardly ever comment . But you really hit the nail on the head with this video . After 2 and a half years im just starting to like my videos haha . But I still have improving that needs to be done like most channels . This video was great because we really all need to hear the truth much more than we do . You know what they say the first step to fix something is to admit you have a problem . This has to be one of your best Real , videos , hope to many ppl aren't triggered haha
This video was much needed! Love your realness!!
Guys! He's RIGHT!! My numbers are bad BUT I still love what I do! This video is motivational and should be set on repeat for a while as your background stuff to listen to. I have his videos on in my background while I'm literally working on my UA-cam videos now!!
More videos like this man! Appreciate the honesty, definitely an eye-opener
Yes, I'd like a free software video for UA-camr's. Great video, awesome advice.
2nd this!
I'll give this a 3rd this.
LOL! To the Thumbnail, but today's e'mail was on queue. Thank you, Roberto!🍎💛🍎💛🍎
My favorite piece of advice from this entire talk was to keep going to meet that standard. Gold! I’m always hard on myself for this very reason and needed to hear that.
Thank you so much Roberto! I’m in a similar situation now. You have no idea much this video means to me. Your content is amazing.
That's what I said to the people who in my 1k thank you video. They need to stop focusing on growth because that right is the fastest way to burn yourself out & not only that but demotivate you from making videos. I told this guy that because he was talking about quitting just because he was not getting as many views on his live stream or not getting to 1000 subs. I talk to him & even made a video dedicated to all small content creators to tell them the truth about how I went through the exact same thing & I showed what my channel looked like at the end. You have to put in the work & have fun with it because if you focus only on the growth than you start developing doubt, discourage, & wanting to quit which is a common thing I hear all the time. He finally heard me out & is still going & I'm so happy to had got through to him.
Thank you so much for this! I've been up thinking of concepts and beating myself up all day. I've been stiff and monotone and it's irritating me. I needed this. 🙌🏾❤️
I think you hit the nail on the head! It seems to me that your potential audience are the people who want to know who you are. So, if anyone is going to know you, you have to show up. That means making videos even if you think they suck. Maybe, I have been very lucky, but I have had very few haters. Most of the time, people are supportive.
And also be honest with yourself. Give yourself a chance to grow and learn. And work on developing the relationships with the people who are trying to connect with you.
Great advice as always. Thanks Roberto!
Real talk here, appreciate this! Instant gratification is usually something you pay for that never pays off in comparison to hard work and learning from every step.
Thank you for this video ,enjoying all the content
Coach Roberto to the rescue!!
Tell yourself the truth and practice your craft. All about the long game. You become what you practice most. 👍
Indeed
Watching this 23 minute video from Roberto feels more like 5 minutes gone by. So much info packed in that just flows.
Have been watching you for years now. Your videos are just as relevant for me today as they were when I first started out. Always good tips that can help any size channel, big or small. 🙏
Love your bluntness! No BS, just what we need!
your lighting looks better than last year.
I keep improving
@@RobertoBlake You do
Those first six minutes are a must-listen for anybody about ANYTHING they want to do in life. Damn. #hardtruth. And that line: "Comparison is the theft of joy." Dead. On.
You really gave me something to think about around the job. Ultimately I’d like to own my business which was one of the reasons I liked YT. But you’re right it’s too much pressure because there’s so much you can’t control.
I’m unpacking this right here and now because this spoke to me in a big way! First, we’re working on engagement and the kids being dynamic. I’m working on SEO, editing, and social media engagement.
I burn out from time to time. But I get back. UA-cam takes guts, time, and attention. It is work. When a video does not work in way I work on it anyway. And in those instances I ALWAYS learn a new on the editor. That way I have the time in. I have my kids analyze their performances and we try to make it better the next time we can.
In terms of staying in our lane I have thought so many times about doing something different for a boost. But I feel that pulls away from the work we’re trying to do. And may confuse viewers regarding what we are about.
Thank so much for this. The kick in the pants I needed.
Roberto u are seriously one of my hero’s u keep it so
Real
The skill I need to master is adding more of myself into my tutorial content. I make gaming tutorials that are quick and to the point but I need to add commentary of where I struggled or what I liked or disliked about a boss etc so there is more to connect with than just a boring tutorial.
Oh I absolutely love your videos and your honesty. I’m 50 years old and just started creating videos. I feel like after 50 years I should have something to say, and if I don’t… I really haven’t lived enough. The one thing I like about you is that you’re young but you’re smart! Keep doing what you do I’m so excited to watch you grow.
I relate so much with the "you don't have to spend so much on this and that" thing. People keep saying that I MUST use Sony Vegas Pro or a certain type of editing software just because a certain big UA-camr did it that way. However, I was just starting out. I had no idea how to do cuts and voice-over, or blend my audio and video files together and etc. Sony Vegas was overwhelming for a newcomer for me.
And in the end, as it turned out, the "first step" I needed was just to learn to use the very basic Windows Movie Maker first, just to get a feel of how editing feels like, and then take more steps from there. One step at a time. That's something people keep forgetting because they think everything is an instant gratification now - that they could get something done in just a click or a press of a button, without learning any skill. That's not how things work most of the time and people need to remember that.
Edit: As for to answer the question of the day... Perhaps you could share some time management tips that you use? I have a dayjob and sometime I had to skip a week or two to make contents.
Wow my take away is that one must not compare one's self with our favourite content creators
Yes, and the only way to really get to understand your craft is to do it, over and over and over again. Grind!
@@GroundbreakGames great insights
Hello Roberto, thank you for sharing your insight and advice. It is always appreciated. Have a great day Roberto.
4:37 is right on! A lot of changes the last few years have become frustrating for anyone looking to get UA-cam famous or even to just get monetized as a side stream of revenue. There's an attitude of entitlement from a lot of people, but then there are those of us who just get frustrated and unfortunately will make the comparison to other creators. There are a lot of people that disrespect UA-cam creators as well for this very same expectation...that it is NOT a REAL JOB or that you're just being LAZY. I love your quote that "comparison is the theft of joy" and it's something that I remind myself a lot whenever a new change at UA-cam occurs or one of my channels experiences an adverse analytical change, etc. I am a creative creator and so my niche does have a lot of arts and crafts competition, however, rather than negatively comparing my channel(s) to theirs, I try to learn from them when I have the time to dedicate to analytics and research. The bulk of my time, however, is spent editing content and enjoying the process. I value engagement here, but as you say....your whole focus should not just be about UA-cam only, even if you plan to have that become your main job. There are many facets to earning that audience and hopefully a paycheck. I think if we stop thinking that a channel is the end-all be-all and adopt to diversifying our brand, we can become better creators overall which helps fill out those 3 categories you spoke about. Thanks again for being real and congratulations on bypassing the 400k mark!
Becoming UA-cam famous is largely taken out of context by ppl who say “it’s my dream” because they don’t understand the reality...
There is more work to “living” with UA-cam is not what people imagine...
Yah I hate being judge too. Dislikes on every UA-cam video is still affecting me. I would do better videos to avoid that or just ignore the hate. 🙏♥️😇
I get a dislike on my videos as soon as I upload, I know it's my hater and would like to know who it is. I do get others but I am used to it now but that one dislike that appears after a few seconds of my video being uploaded is annoying and obviously they did not watch the video, lol.
You will get used to it, look at the thumbs up and try to avoid the thumbs down. Have a nice night.
@@Loveofpets yes. It is so awful that after editing 2-4 hours for that 10 minute video, within a few minutes of uploading there's already a dislike. I took a week off because of it. And would now post daily uploads for the whole month. I love watching my own videos and seeing those dislikes is the last thing I want. Thank you for sharing your experience too and would definitely learn how to ignore it and always see the positive side. 💓
Quality comes more in the message of the content right now, than in being filmed in 4k. :)
Yeah, yeah, for sure! Free software advice, no worries.
Give us everything you've got - ALL your stuff seems worthy.
What you may receive must surely be balanced by what you give.
Respect from Australia
Mate, I f*%king love you. Your Attitude, your experience, your humbleness, your realness, your honest advice! We all need more people like you in this world. Really appreciate this video.
Anxious Gregg sorry for the late reply but I’m glad this connected with this one!
Very good points. Great vid, as always!
Another great video. You don't even know it but you've helped my channel Soooo much. Thanks Roberto!!
RicksterGhost
He helped me too!
That's the reason we all watch him, right? :)
I was forced to hit the LIKE button only because I could not find the LOVE button! What’s great about this video is you could change a few words here and there and apply it to so many other areas of life. Great video!
This is the most raw video i've seen on youtube about channel growth and the stuff that goes on behind the scenes such as the business aspect which I always disregard. I love these rant videos you do, they are absolutely amazing!!!!
Thanks for the advice 🙏 I’m somewhat new been youtube for a year now
Freakin’ preach ROBERTO!
ROBERTO IS THE MAN! So straight forward, so knowledgable and so authentic 👌thank you for keeping us focused on progress in quality rather than likes and subscriptions
I think this is one of the more original and honest commentaries on this subject. At the end of the day, just because the work has moved into the digital space does not mean that things suddenly come for free. You've got to work consistently for a while both to improve your craft but also to build a solid foundation. That foundation will more than likely include transferable skills that will secure you for the future in this ever changing industry. My pain point at the moment is remembering that done is better than perfect-I just need to start publishing everyday and move on with the next thing.
Awesome video Roberto. your videos help.
Preach brother! 👏🏻👏🏻
I couldn´t agree more with what you said. As a new content creator, all the pressure that is created around the "numbers" and the metrics of success on youtube/social media can be very overwhelming! Thanks for the wise advice!
Hey Do You Play if we can just focus on the work and the process it will be better for our mental health
Hi Roberto, as a newer channel, the thing that helps me the most is to just keep producing. When I'm consistent I pick up more on little things here and there everyday that make my content better and better, thank you!
Thank you Roberto, I agree 100%, keep on making videos is the only way to learn. I am really new, started January 4th, and unfortunately I watched to many videos on how to grow your channel instead of how to grow your knowledge and skill when i started. This made me have the totally wrong focus. As I did my 3 month evaluation I realized this, and now I am so much more inspired and have so much fun with my videos. This video would have been so great to watch when I started
Raising your skill level and setting yourself apart from the 99% is always the game...
I love when you said ‘work with what you have’ 👍 totally agree. I use my phone to film and iMovie on my phone to edit. I use the free apps for making my thumbnails. Some people who know me keep on telling me to invest in a camera and a MacBook. I’ve set some goals, I’ll buy one item when I pass 1000 subs. The next one when I get to 5000 and so on 😊 it’s a hard road but I’ll get there 👍
My son keeps telling me to get a MacBooks because he says the editing is simple and easy.
I’ve been on UA-cam for one year. This video .... oh my word..... I wanted to jump through the screen and hi five you and huge you!! You are so awesome! Seriously! Sharing this video in a UA-cam Facebook group I’m in. Things I want to learn for my 2nd year on UA-cam. Figure out how to put my videos into a playlist. Put cards on my videos. Improve my audio. I talk loud so my phone can pick it up. And I really like to figure out an upload schedule. I upload once or twice a week but I don’t ever do it on the same day.
As a new content creator with 132 subscribes this message was up lifting and motivating..Thanks man for putting this together!!
This is really helpful not just for new content creators, but for as a helpful reminder for those of us who have gotten into a groove yet veered off track from what goes in to making the best quality material we can produce. I know I need to learn exactly how to use my camera. I know I need to dedicate time to learning and studying several of the elements that you mentioned.
Nice Video!!! Its does make a small UA-camr like me think. But in a good way. Its so easy to feel pressured to keep up with the bigger channels and lose focus on what really matters.
Absolutely, I tell myself I'm in no rush to build my subscriber count. But it's hard not to when every time you are logged into UA-cam you are slammed with it.
So true!!!
Comparison is the theft of joy.🍒❤️
Yess. Free resource for UA-camrs definitely. Also sources for music. That is often neglected when we're talking about UA-cam stuff
I think what I need to work on is putting myself in the mind frame of talking to a person, not to a camera, or recording app.
I love your pep talk. I was like you, I could never speak in front of my class in school, I would pretend to be sick and stay home or say my speech was not done. Even today, I don't like speaking to a crowd but if it's about my birds, I probably could do it. In my first videos of me in front of the camera I look like a robot, lol. I am getting more comfortable but I have to learn how to use my camera.
Thank you for your videos 🥰
I don't talk alot too in my videos. But I put my recorded songs from a singing app so it is still my voice that they can hear. It is working for me not to speak with my audience and just put background music instead. Do what is comfortable for you to share. No pressure or don't need to always do what everybody does. 😍♥️
I love how REAL you are! "I'm not going to coddle you".... Your content is always SO GOOD because you always are a straight shooter!
Thank you so much for this video. Starting off has been so great. The learning process has been absolutely what I needed. I appreciate you being willing to share so fluidly. Stay the path!
I got a sony camera but still learning how to use it.. This UA-cam stuff take working on it constantly to improve
I am SO monotone... I keep trying. Too many other skills to develop to count :)
Saw Anson Dorrance speak today and thought about your coaching analogy. I’m going to pull some of that info together into a video one day. Really great stuff for my niche too. Need to re-read his book...
Gene Hobbs I love this comment 👊🏻😊
Ian Corzine it’s your world! I’m just livin in it :) Thanks man!
Nice advice, Roberto. I agree with you when it comes to expectations: it's best to have patience and know what you want, and not go for the fad thing if it's not gonna bring you any sense of satisfaction.
Yes. Taking a break can also help with being patient. Also don't compare the channel with a successful channel.
@@FayeRapsYupITSME Yeah, comparing really doesn't help. ):
I love this rant and rave, this is the conversation that I have in my head all the time!!
I completely agree with this video.
I don't think there is really one skill I need to improve. I have a ton of work to do if I want any sort of viewership. I think I need to improve on everything. I just want to reach my goal of 40 videos in 2019. I usually give up on anything difficult in my life so reaching that goal would mean a lot to me.
Of spirit and time You can do it!
You can do it 😊
You are so right Roberto! Thanks.
Absolutely needed this!!! Thanks for bringing great content and advice everytime!!! 🤗💖
Great editing app : PowerDirector app. It's free and helpful!
Thanks!
Faye Raps Yup thank you 😊
I just need more the the "do". The actual executing and packaging of the content I want to put out. I'm already documenting/filming what I do by default of my work. I just need to actually execute the final packaging/editing/uploading.
This is a really thoughtful video, great of you to do this 👍 thank you, much appreciated x
Love all of your advice. Sometimes I need a good kick to get myself back on track and stop comparing myself to others so much.
I always find it strange when you're call things you say "harsh" or "blunt" maybe because I get called blunt too so it doesn't really register to me. It's gotten me in trouble with friends before.
It’s a safe bet to say that your words are “harsh” or “blunt” or “stepping on toes” if they’re truthful. Even if they don’t seem harsh, blunt, or harmful to toes. If it’s truth, it’s harsh, blunt, and painful to have your feet around.
ps sorry for such a harsh comment :P
Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life. Are you agree with this sir ? I learn it fom you and thank you for the tips and stay safe aa always i was inspired to create more content in order i will be better.❤
Wow! You are so on point about how us NewTubers really need to practice our craft. I appreciate the "Rant". Thanks for being honest with us on creating content! By the way, I would have never known that once upon a time you hated public speaking. You are AWESOME at it now!
Speak the truth, somebody has to!
Create lot of contents so that you can improve your quality. Don't fall for quality over quantity.
In other words “fail faster”
Pretty useful video. Do you have any resources towards learning how to be honest with myself?
Thanks Roberto! I am thankful for someone like you who shoots it straight. I am in the process of creating more content for my channel. You are right ...the more you do something the better you get!👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👊🏾
What a great video! I could spend hours watching your videos, especially as a new content creator. I need to improve/ learn more about editing. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing the truth about social media content creations!
I used your tips and now I have 1.4k subs and growing.. thank you ❤🧡❤
Passion- All the way
Skill level- mediocre, but improving
Trending/popular- No. Working to try and get to that stuff
Ahhh my mind is at war with itself. I am determined to do this but I am weak. I'm looking for a helping hand like you but that's not how it works and I'm learning that the hard way. I will make it, i will not fail, I just have to do it!
I could just hug you Roberto. All the stuff you said about the not sexy stuff that people do not want to do is very similar to what I have said to clients about course creation. No one wants to conduct learner analysis--it ain't sexy. No one wants to create objectives--it ain't sexy. No one wants to develop a training plan because yep you guessed it--not sexy. 10,000% everything you said ON POINT. The entire desire to get to the end without developing the skills is rampant in everything. I have over 20 years experience as an instructional designer and everyone just wants to get to the content creation part. I am a total YT newbie. I know I suck at creating videos right now. So what. I am willing to get the F up and press play so that I can actually learn. I do not care that no one is watching. And to be honest, I have had some crap go on and have not made videos for several weeks because I had to deal with stuff. So what. I will get back up now that things are not as hectic and swing the bat. QOTD - for me I think it is getting better at communication. I desire to hone all the skills you said we do not want to do because I am not concerned with growth in an instant. Thank you so much for these words. Hugs!
Skill to I'm improve - getting out of my own head and speaking my truth. Public speaking - I empathize with that.
