    I have 30 subscribers. The video I posted took me 10 hours to make. It got 40 views. It was worth it. Im don't want to be a famous UA-camr. I want to make content that I care about and share it with others. That's why those 10 hours were worth it. Thanks for the advise Roberto

      Yup, most videos take lots of hours to make...some get a few hundred views while others maybe only a dozen.

    Comparing myself to others is what has kept me from doing UA-cam. You are right! Thanks for this.

  • @BrookieMarieTV
    @BrookieMarieTV 7 років тому +49

    I agree 100% with the not comparing yourself to "Big UA-camrs". Once it stopped doing that I enjoyed everything so much more!! Now I'm so excited/grateful about my 75 subscribers. And because of that I've seen a HUGE difference within my videos. If anyones doubtful just keep your eye on the prize!!

  • @GoHerping
    @GoHerping 8 років тому +10

    I just hit 1k subscribers! Using your videos the past couple months gave me so much info. I definitely have you to thank to helping me get from being stuck at a couple hundred to 1000 so quickly.

    • @GoHerping
      @GoHerping 8 років тому +3

      Thats exactly what I had been thinking. I remember I was stuck on 41 subscribers for about 2 years... but then the more content I made and the more active in the community I was, it slowly went up. As you progress, the faster you grow. For example, it took years for me to hit 100. Then, I hit 200 which still took about half a year. Then I hit 300 which was a little faster, then 500 which was even faster, and so on. So the more subs you have, the faster you grow apperently lol. So I recommend keeping at it. (Roberto has some other vids on why youtubers often fail that I watched and helped me)

    Now, UA-cam requires 10,000 views before you can monetize. It took me about 5 months to hit that. I actually think that is a good idea. Makes you work harder and smarter. Thanks for your tips.

    So true of what you have said regarding not comparing yourself to big time UA-camrs. That can really mess up the mind while trying to create content.

  • @liliandraw5751
    @liliandraw5751 7 років тому +12

    I feel like a lot of people (including myself) expect growing a UA-cam channel to be easy, especially since every day most of us watch 'big subscribers' videos and I think we're kinda used to seeing the big numbers.
    I was really discouraged a few months ago when my channel wasn't growing as fast as I had expected. So just a little advice to anyone that stumbles upon this comment; try to have low expectations. xD
    Idk, this might not work for everyone, but It's how I get through it whenever working really long on a video, which ends up getting less views than I would hope.

    • @RobertoBlake
      @RobertoBlake  8 років тому +1

      +S3hal it's kinda a given but also a personal choice. Comments are time consuming and to be honest I lose a crap ton of money for all the time I do spend months in the comment section. Like a few grand based on things I could do with that time that make actually money.
      So I don't judge people who ignore their comments. The day I have a kid you'll likely see me practically vanish from the comment section.
      I know you guys like feeling acknowledged by people you watch or subscribe to but their are other things in their life and other people that are and should be their priority.
      So again I don't judge any creators that don't engage since we all have a right to decide how we spend our limited time.

      Same thing with me! I posted 3 videos about 2 weeks ago and got 12 subs! I was stuck with 3 subs for yearsssss but that’s only because I wasn’t posting content, but I def see the difference when I improved my thumbnails and video content.

  • @blacksunshine391
    @blacksunshine391 6 років тому +15

    I feel like I accomplished something with just 20 subs. Remember, UA-cam is only worth it if you Don't feel as if it's a job instead of a fun hobby. It CAN be a job, but if it doesn't feel right, changing your content or taking a break is a good idea.

But I don't care, I will still continue making videos to learn and improve. Maybe when time comes that UA-cam share my videos to Public then I would be a professional video editor!!
