    I’m 34 and I’d like to start content creation “influencer” type but I’m scared to be too old for that so my mind is telling me to choose the entrepreneur type but I don’t think it suits me so I didn’t start nothing yet for this 😭

      Don't forget that not only you get older, but also everyone else. And people are often interested in people from the same age. I'm 32 years old and I would love to have more influencers in my age group. So just do what you really want to do 🎉

    I was honestly making content for the last year to make sales. I made sales alright. But I burnt out and I hated it. I loved it in the beginning because I was passionate about it, but I eventually came to hate it. I came to dread making content just for the sake of sales. And i love making content. I love filming, editing, photography, I grew up in front of the camera and behind one (true story). I find that I like to make content to inspire and if people buy stuff with my affiliate links or the digital products I have, along the way, cool! But I really want to share a portion of my life that i don't really get to see here on UA-cam.

    Hi Katie, I'm also Kati. I just want you to know that I've left a two year video/audio podcast that I started from the ground-up and had to end after things with me and my co-host went south. It's been a painful process, but you've really helped me re-kindle the fire that is still in my heart to create content. I thought that 2 year podcast was gunna be my big break, but it fell apart after working so hard on it for so long, and that has left me feeling so crushed & wanting to just throw in the towel. However, I feel like I can do this on my own, now, and your videos have been a big help in that process. Thank you, thank you, thank you, you woderful person.

    very useful Katie! as a musician so far i always kept youtube as a secondary portfolio resource when i needed to show what i do to bands, promoters, music schools etc. I am now working on a digital product (guitar lessons) but i think i need to build up a stronger audience if i want to attract customers so i feel like i'm between the two type of people you described: business owner and content creator. So my plan is to start making free content for my current audience on instagram and see if that works, then progressively let them know that i have something more for those interested and take it from there. Do you think that could work? any other tips for people in my same situation? Thanks, you got a new subscriber here ;)

    My 2 cents on this.
    I'm so tired of these "Launch your channel" videos.
    I've tried to do that. The problem is I do not know how to edit videos.
    I've taught myself a little but even trying to figure out a small thing sometimes takes hours, and that's just one thing.
    And also, "doesn't matter if you just use your phone" I hate hearing that to.
    I have a cheap android phone. I created a video, it took me 2 weeks to try and learn simple editing so I hired someone
    If I wanted to post weekly it would cost over 400 per month, so I gave up
    Even video editing for beginners videos is a joke
    The creator of all those kinds of videos assumes you have some knowledge so they begin on step 20, instead of step 1
    I have been unsubscribed from all " launch your channel" content creators
    It's frustrating

    • @katie

      The only replies I got were from a few people who said they could try and figure out how to edit and teach me
      I live in a fairly large county, the largest in my State and after the ad ran a month, nobody answered it so I didn't renew it
      I also placed ads at a college, no answers to the ad.
      The fact is not many people know how to do it. And I offered 20 an hour! So it wasn't the pay
      I searched for video editing classes near me
      Only one class in the State of Michigan was available and it was an hour and a half away.
      Unless I went to a university and and joined a degree program that's the only classes available

    Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 10days..
