I’m a small creator but honestly I have so much fun and enjoy making my videos, I don’t mind if they don’t get views or likes, I’m just having fun creating and making the content I make. It’s more of a “release” and therapy for me to just create and enjoy the process. If others enjoy my content too, it’s a bonus , but I don’t expect it and as long as I’m proud of my content and happy with what I’m producing, I’m happier than if I don’t create or post my content.
Love that for you, enjoy it while it lasts because one day that will change when all you want to do is create content but you have to go to work. And you hate work. I’m here to prepare you for that.
Doing that for the soul not the ego...keep up.
@@BenKaluza honestly this is purely a hobby for me. Of course I would love to turn creating content into a career because I truly enjoy just creating content and editing videos. Who knows maybe something comes out of it but I truly enjoy the creating process the most.
@@Passpectivethepodcast thanks 🙏 it’s just fun to do
Thanks brother. It’s clear that you’re fresh from the struggle of finding your place. Now that you’ve found it and are willing to share it right away, your advice is raw and energetic and relevant and that’s what I need.
thank you for recognising that. I have massively struggled to find my place and every time I thought I did it turned out not to be, untill now
Solid video man! It took me 8 years to hit 50k subscribers and then once I was finally dialed in it took about 18 months to surpass 200k subscribers. Gotta be in it with both feel with a long time horizon.
Hey bro
Your recent style (talking from ur heart ) is the best
*Downloaded* to watch it every time i get burned out
ahh thank you so much I appreciate that glad you like the new style it's here to stay
So relatable. I really do try to and desire to focus on personal growth, creativity and improving but it is hard to not be discouraged by low views.
keep going and don't stop
@@BenKaluza yes! Thanks for the word of encouragement
I resonate deep with your spirit and journey and just how you pour out all the ups and downs you’ve been through for all those moments in your journey of content creation. I’m so glad you found your place and I can see you feel good just by how you talk straight from your heart. May God keep Blessing you man,I enjoy your authenticity big time!
I just started my channel where I talk about my decade long battle with alcohol and I’m now sober 2 years. As well as sharing ways that I improved my mental health. Your video on just “creating” sort of building the plane on the way down helped me get out of my own head. I’m a funny guy too so trying to figure out where I’m going to take it and what resonates is the fun part. Appreciate you brother!👊❤️
I have 3 videos now… figure I’ll go for 100. I only have my iPhone though and a ring light. I admire your setup.
bro speaking facts here. Very hard to make it when you get low views at the beginning. Also was so nice to meet you and have you come to our event. Appreciate you king!
love you
The long game and focusing on that instead of daily metrics is exactly what I needed to hear! Thank you!!
Absolutely, good luck
These type of videos made me subscribe to you, i find them really inspiring. Im not worrying about my feelers and numbers, im just going to create and learn.
Thank you
I've started my channel, though still growing the experience is so great!. Thanks so much for the inspiration❤
I will be consistent and positive😊😊😊
Thank you and good luck
Thanks for this reminder and encouragement - I just started a channel a few weeks ago and the doubt has been the biggest thing to get over - just going to enjoy the process as it's a really helpful thing for me to do personally. Maybe some other people will be helped by it as well...
Again, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing where things go once I’m ready to start creating. Not expecting anything other than sharing my passion for gaming for now
Thank you and good luck
Man you're a motivational speaker for this stuff. Thank you🙏
haha thanks, I always wanted to be, I think I have finally found my time and place
I’m not sure how UA-cam ended up recommending your video to me, but I’m really glad it did. I’m in the gaming niche, and I’ve noticed that it often suggests creators around the same subscriber count who are playing the same games as I am. It can be tough when I see them outperforming me; self-doubt creeps in, and I start to wonder if this is really meant for me. Your words really resonated with me, and I appreciate the encouragement!
Yeah I use to get that when I was streamer. Would see people around me growing faster when I thought my content was better. Just got to keep going and your time will come.
I love ur energy that you bring into these video’s. It feels like that one friend who is trying to make you motivated🤝
And making you think critically about your emotions and not tying your personal value to metrics.
Haha thank you so much that is exactly what I’m trying to achieve
Thank you. I created this video for me. I decided to go faceless and I know I have a long way to go to see results, but I am more excited going this route. Amazing video.
Excellent point about don’t just make video after video without learning something new each time. I’m kinda there and I needed that. I know I’m supposed to improve a little each time based on Mr beast advice. So you mentioning it brought it back. Thank you
Yeah, the improvement part is so important, I made more effort to do it last Feb and it made so much difference
man ive been through this and still do, so much so i gave up and deleted my channel. I thought i was making good content and deserved views which didn't come and then the self doubt and beating myself up began. I have since created a new channel and now have a better outlook on things and try to improve my content with every video. Time is a great thing and i now have enough pride to look at things from a better prospective and continue to improve my videos and attitude towards them. Thanks for this my man
That’s so great to hear. Self awareness and perspective are so important in content creation. A lot of people unfortunately think they’re content is better than it actually is which I think leads to entitlement. As soon as you can realise you got a long way to go but happy to take that long journey and are prepared for it, it’s so much easier to manage mentally
the journey is tough, but I always keep going
Thank you I needed this. Because everyday I feel like quoting UA-cam and then I try and then quit again, but your video is helping me to stick to it…(I hope 🙈) Thanks 🙏🏾
@@bodybyzewdi I feel you, I’ve been there, just got keep pushing through. Stoping and taking breaks is fine. Just re strategise and think about what’s gonna make it easy to create content and what you enjoy creating content on
Thanks Ben🙏🏼. I needed that honesty😊!
You’re welcome, always here to speak the truth
Thank you Ben! This is something every small creator needs to hear and take to our heart ❤
You’re welcome ❤
I'm in this for the long haul. Staying Uncommon!
This video took a cord straight from your heart into my heart. You read my mind with every single word you said. On another note: What a masterful performance, story telling, delivery, cinematography and presence. Your past practice has definitely paid off. Respect.
Another really good video - so honest and real. Appreciate it and glad I found this channel.
People get into UA-cam with a mentality that's such a crutch on their spirit. They get into creating for money. They EXPECT to be paid, and some develop a sort of entitlement. If you create out of passion to help people, without looking for rewards, it starts out fun but also ends up being fun. The true reward comes from when you're video has helped even just a few souls.
Yes a lot of people unfortunately are creating purely for money these days rather than for creating. Those people don't usually last long when they realise how hard it is to be successful in content creation.
Thanks for your Great Tips..for UA-cam creators👍👍🌎🌍🌏
Once again really needed to hear this one! Recently all my creative efforts just don't seem to be paying off at all. Hardly get views, likes and shares. So this week has been my first week in a very long time where I stopped posting consistently just to step back and re-evaluate what it is that I am doing wrong with my content because clearly something is not working. Slowly I am trying to understand what it might be and I am just jotting it all down so that I can come back stronger creating content utilising my new ideas and tips i am making note of. So I appreciate you always sharing these types of tips/knowledge and experience because I can confidently say it helps and makes me realise I am headed in the right direction and I know one day I will make it, may that be in 5, 10, 15, 20 years or maybe even till I die but at least I can say to myself I tried and strived to get better day by day. So thank you Ben for helping me and all us other creators out here who are just wanting to do what they love in their life rather than following a mediocre/mundane lifestyle. Keep creating this stuff...❤ P.S sorry for the waffle, kind of just let my thoughts roll out 😅
Thank you for letting your thoughts out and being open and honest. Your mindset is defintely in the right place. Always play the long game. I think if you follow the right plan and be consistent, good progress usually comes in about a year.
@@BenKaluza You’re welcome Ben! For sure just trying to get better at my craft really so i think slowly but surely i shall do good and become successful hopefully it does happen in a year! I have been staying consistent though so let’s see! Thank you for the reply though appreciate it a lot 🤗
Definitely what I needed to hear. A great video for a small UA-camr like me with 32 subscribers 🙏
Thanks mate, we got this for sure
Thank you
Couldn't have found you at a better time. I committed to starting a channel this year and managed to get a few videos up but it took so much time to script and edit the videos. I'm going to give this low effort content a try. Thanks Ben!!
Thank you and good luck, glad I came at the right time
Good advice 👍
just thank you, simply thank you! I needed this!
You’re welcome ❤
I'm really enjoying your videos. Thank for Everything and may your ways open up to Greater Levels you ever imagined.
Thank you sir
I'm a tiny channel creator. I started making Vids as therapy for me as for the past few years I've lost love ones. When I make Videos I feel my depression subside. I love the process of recording, thinking of the area to shoot at, time of day to go out and film, editing....Again I creator because its an outlet for me. Come what may.
thank you. this is definitely timely
You’re welcome glad I could help ❤
Love the video! I was thinking of giving up, but I got you video

Loving these videos man
Thank you sir, love your content
Great advice and encouragement!

I know there will be a day I come to watch your next video and I see that you have over 100,000 subscribers. I know it. Thank you for motivating me so much I promise to stay consistent and continue to gain knowledge. I will keep growing. I will not stop. ❤
Thank you ❤️ 100k is actually my main goal across all my channels, one day it will come
Love this , i was just recommended your video after getting like 50 views on something which I spent 5 hours or so! 😭😂 Good to put things into perspective :)
haha it happens to all of us I can understand the frustration
Love your content. Nothing more to say. keep going.
Hey Ben! I just found you a little while ago, I'm a small creator, and these videos help my mind set a lot. Thank you.
Thank you
Thank you!
That’s motivating Thanks
i was about to quit 🙌
Keep going ❤
great video!
Thank you
very useful, and insightful. will keep going
Inspiring and convincing presentation! I can see that you mean it!
Thank you ❤
At a minimum UA-cam will be a library for my creative tech ideas ! I love the fact that my creations are out there for people to view. Shoot I watch the funny parts of my own videos all the time lol
Also I see you are from twitch as well! I’m finally making the switch from twitch to UA-cam. Ive been partnered on twitch for 11 years now. My stream has finally died down… ALOT lol
You seem like a passionate man
I am about the things I’m passionate about
Thank you 🙏
Thank you ❤
Thanks bro🙏
Thank you ❤
❤❤❤

Congrats!
What is your set up for the videos? Video and audio.
Can u make a video how about to build a community ? My social skill with ppl is not very good but I got good views and followers but would love to have a real community.
❤
community building is certainly not my forte, I'm only just figuring out how to do it myself as it's very time consuming
Bro hello from Russia! You have insane quality! What gear you use? Im about cam and lens! Thank you very much;)
Talk about building up momentum for Facebook as well next time.
Hello from Egypt i really like your content Ben i hope you to share your light setup
Thank you ❤ Amaran 100 X S with light dome 2

I have just started my channel - I’ve been writing content for big YT True Crime creators for 2 years and still took so long to get the courage to start my own!
Go and get it sir
Its so easy to fall off the bandwagon when you get too few views on a video that you spent many hours on. Its hard to find the balance between "Creating something that YOU enjoy creating" and "Creating something that an AUDIENCE will enjoy". I think the key is finding balance between the two. Start with making things that you love, and then fine tune them for everyone else
What’s the background music you use Ben. Awesome ones. Be raw be honest be the way you are. Love from India 🇮🇳
I get it from universal music for creators, it’s just piano music but I spend a long time finding it and mixing it in
keep make content such as this, please:(
haha I will don't worry
I'm a small creator，each video has only less than 10 views, to be honest, it is very difficult, but I am still holding on, maybe I will try more content and style, but I have not thought about giving up
I resonate deep with your spirit and journey and just how you pour out all the ups and downs you’ve been through for all those moments in your journey of content creation. I’m so glad you found your place and I can see you feel good just by how you talk straight from your heart. May God keep Blessing you man,I enjoy your authenticity big time!
