Hi Gabe. I am very interested in this workshop but like most I will be working 🙄 Will it be offered again? Ever on a Friday or weekend? I have been following you for years! It is so fun to see you and your family grow💗
Feeling disheartened. I am leaving this comment here so that after some hours, days, weeks, months or years when someone likes or comment on it, I will be reminded that I didn’t give up
I have made 240 videos and only have 67 subscribers, but at nearly 72 years of age, I am having fun making and editing videos and truly enjoy the process.
I started my Homesteading and building a house for $20,000 channel about a month ago. I like the idea of my grandkids watching. I don't live near them, so it helps.
I’m homesteading in Montana, and after over 3 years I’ll be doing Winter in my cabin that I built. I have to paint the interior & do trim work, as well as plumb it…but it’s insulated & warm & dry. We get to -40 here, much like your area I’m sure, and it’s not easy. Having a UA-cam channel could be a fantastic thing to document and share your struggles & victories.
I posted a new solar air heater diy video and it's a 1/10! I was super authenticly me and it's paying off. I also added a story you wouldn't expect! Storytelling is also KEY
Finally built up the courage to start a channel I’ve been thinking about for 3 years. Only a handful of subscribers right now so it feels tough to keep going but it’s the process that matters. At least I hit record and publish. That’s a win on its own. Thank you for the inspiration.
The hardest part was starting. I listen to so many books and occasionally read. But I agree, being able to talk about my own insights is really liberating. Rather than have my thoughts just stuck in my head or in notes.
Gabe is right about 2 things. Some of the most successful videos on my channel are just me shooting the breeze about what I’ve been up to. And I do feel like I’m finding my people. A lot of comments I get are from people who have the same interests as me. And as long as my channel is relatively small, I can respond to every comment, so it feels like community too.
I agree with your comment on Gabe’s channel. After 6 weeks I’m finding my people. I am him 6 years ago. Floundering trying to find me. He is successful and enjoying life. That’s an awesome goal!
This right here is what I’m looking for. My people. Monetization sounds nice and what not, but I just wanna chat about exotic animals and doing stuff with my hands that I enjoy like building tanks or scapes. Or just messing around. Personally that sounds like heaven
Great story! Being a UA-camr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of help from Fame- ster of course) will always pay off at the end.
I finally started posting on my channel on Oct. 7th. I had been putting it off for years. I was letting fear hold me back. It’s been great watching you grow.
"You can find your people." OMFG yes!!! THAT is one I am looking forward to the most with my UA-cam experience. . . . I'll watch the rest of the video now.
I am 67 and took the Economic Ninja challenge to start a YT channel. I was a cop for 30 years, and I talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly. So far, no one is watching. Maybe that will change. I hope so.
very good points you make. i had zero plans to 'vlog' back in 2012. but after moving to the philippines, i needed a way to share my videos with my grown kids back home so, i put them on youtube. just goofing around town, exploring places. next thing i knew, 'people of youtube' began asking me questions about visas, budgets, customs, dating. now i've been vlogging for 12 years, over 100,000 subs. over 31 million views. here's an important distinction you made; "you have something you want to say." sadly, everybody and their brother that moves to the philippines now "has a channel". but they have nothing to say. so many just copy other content like a template and hope for views. they aren't putting themselves out there, creatively or sincerely. and so, YT-philippines travel niche is now flooded with many lame channels going nowhere. i just started my 4th channel today. different genres, different audiences. as you said, "your people" are out there, and they will find you. if a person is consistent and constantly improving.
I have 20 videos and 11 subscribers. I am grateful for every single one of them. I will continue to learn and post my little videos until I am discovered. ❤❤❤Best wishes to everyone on here. Keep pushing and loving what you do. 🎉🎉 to the future!!
It's funny that I found your video at this moment in my life, man... I truly feel every single word you said. To share a bit about myself, I'm a 38-year-old guy from Peru, and I’ve been working in tourism for almost a decade. However, I've decided to restart my forgotten UA-cam channel because I want to share the stories in my mind with the world. My videos aren’t good enough yet to reach my ideal audience (just people that share the same interest as me), but after hearing your words, I feel more inspired to keep pushing harder and create higher-quality content. Thanks for sharing this message. Greetings from Peru!
You sound so genuine that the positive energy comes right off of the screen!! I've posted only travel shorts until now. I get so awkward in front of the camera but you've inspired me to start. Hopefully, I can be at a better place next year if I start now! Good luck to everyone!
I started mine a few weeks ago. No views yet. But im really enjoying the video editing process. Learning, improving video quality, and getting excited to post more. Just using to track my workouts, so that i can work out alongside myself. Or to see the incremental progressions that keeps me motivated
Thanks Gabe! Started being more consistent on UA-cam this year and the part about having things to share with people is something I really connect with. And it’s great to find people that connect in some way with the same things
My Internet is out for the 6th day due to Helene 🌪️ ! I didn't realize how much I did depend on it for my lonesome entertainment. Bummer 😉 Suggestions ?
I lost my job a few weeks ago. I'm AuDHD and have always had trouble holding down a job. I feel like UA-cam/streaming might be a way to actually do something with my life. Thanks for the tips.
Very relatable. The struggle is real! Loads of content to be made living and managing with these conditions. I also have that spicey blend but only realised after having two ASD children. Literally early -mid 40s.
@@MsLinz1975 Hmm, that's an angle I didn't really consider. I try to just "hide" my conditions but maybe putting a little focus on them wouldn't be so bad. Also, same age here! Small world, eh? ;)
@Malkavian_Grin it's good to bring attention to this. 'What ever makes you weird is your super power' I wouldn't change my little one for anything. His ASD gives him this delightful honest outlook.
Great video, Gabe! I agree. Starting my UA-cam channel was an excellent decision. I was at rockbottom after losing my mother and my brick and mortar business, followed by entering lockdown in a home filled with business stuff here in New Zealand. On top of that I was officially OLD at 65! So, what did I have to lose? It's been a very good decision that helped me not only reinvigorate my arts practice, but gave me a lot of confidence.
I started my channel during the 2020 quarantine. Really just to keep me occupied because my life was imploding. I didn't expect to keep it going, but here we are. I mostly post me playing piano, and have 75 subscribers. It's been fun! I love interacting with people on the internet in positive ways.
Giving me the final push to get YT channel going, committing an extensive full day next Saturday with no other obligations to get the ball rolling. Thanks for positive encouragement!
He’s a wise potato. Good to do something that makes you feel happy with no expectations. I love potatoes, I love celebrities and I love working with my cousins Tash and Tony. Gary’s a bit moody but he’s hurt his knee and stressed about not sorting out New Year’s Eve. Have fun everyone. I love UA-cam. Peace out, be kind and never catch a cactus. Chip Wedge x
Wow. This video really touched me. I don’t comment on many videos and I am not even on UA-cam that much. But what you said about people giving up on their dreams is so true - and many of us do stop growing at a certain point in our lives. Thank you for the inspiration. I’ve started over a number of times in my life and this reinforces the belief that you can’t stop trying.
The feeling like you’re learning a new language thing is so real. Everything I need to learn feels so daunting some days, some days it feels never ending, but on the flip side I realize I’m growing and learning and that feels massively satisfying.
I really needed this!! I’ve been in love with fitness and been thinking about it since 2012 thinking “but Im not that big to show my love for it” and so many other excuses. Lately found other love like music so I started dj but felt like I can’t do much to show my love on YT. On all my hobbies I’ve always thought about starting a YT channel but never really end up pulling the trigger. Now my new hobby is learning music production. Now that I’ve seen many videos it I would like to start helping other start new hobbies specifically help them with the ones I know and love. Hopefully I make but it not if can help or many happy at least one person that would make my day
I feel so connected to that. I don’t know what I’m doing with my channel but I feel there’s a story in me. For whoever watches, I’m happy to be just creating. I love it.
Thanks for the video. Good one. I have started to YT channels while having 40 hour work week. Nothing to lose, everything to gain. In the end, YT is a good skill to have because learning soooo much.
I had a channel but started making videos again a month ago. For the things I love doing and inspire me. Like a video diary for me to preserve the memories. I feel so inspired to make videos and to be able one day to go back and watch them. I barely have 100 subscribers but for just one month over 50 people subscribed and they are so supportive. Thank you for the video, it's so real and inspiring!
I started mine in 2009 and just haven't done much with it but recently have made the goal to bring it up to 1000 subs at least and will be posting more. Thanks for your awesome advice.
This video is really well constructed! Keep up the fantastic work! I'm definitely noticing your progression and maturity in life. You're learning so much, it's astonishing. I definitely notice the uptick in video quality and editing. I'm LOVING your channel, everyday I watch you grow up. Stay humble, keep grinding, keep learning, stay present. You absolutely should continue to share your gifts with the world, Gabe! This is an exciting time for you.
I film so many videos through the year from all the events I go to through the states with the intent of making videos for UA-cam but I have so many hobbies I like to record but ppl say you should niche down when it comes to a channel. It I love lots of stuff like tech, 3D printing, drones, diy projects, reviews videos, comic con, anime expo, creating stuff with blender and unreal engine for fun. I mean. I love it all. After I get done filming stuff, I start to get into the “analysis paralysis” of things on what to actually post. I really just need to just make the videos and just post them and whatever happens, happens.
That sounds like me 😂 I film so many things that I struggle with what video to make next. I decided to not have a niche for my channel, I just post whatever sounds good in the moment.
Feeling exhausted. I’m leaving this comment here so that after some hours,days,weeks,months or years when someone likes or comment on it,I will be reminded that I didn’t give up
Gabe, I’ve been watching you for a long time now. I love your videos and have seen you and your family grow. You’ve inspired me with my financial journey, now I need to let you inspire me to be quiet and create. I was a professional videographer and photographer for 3 years. I have since let my equipment collect dust. People say I have the skillset to go far as a creator, but for whatever reason I just can’t pull the trigger. I need to just try to consistently upload for 3 months, to see if I like it. Let’s hope that I can finally start
Incredible, I’m in the beginning of a very similar journey. And you gave me so many ideas 💡 And made me a read more confident in my journey. Thank you 🙏
I love that you are from New England too. I have fun watching your videos trying to guess where you are. I recognized Newport, RI in a second. Thanks for the video, awesome content.
This is just great! I’m looking for my tribe and this is a way to find them while also being authentic, which is crucial for us all to connect and thrive. Thank you!
I am so grateful you did start your UA-cam channel Gabe. It is both heartwarming and inspirational to witness you staying humble throughout the years despite your success. Sending you and the family so much love. Hugs Teresa and Family
So true about building a community of people like you. I did this with streaming 11 years on Twitch. Now I’m excited to do it on UA-cam ! God Bless brother !
I totally agree with everything you said. I started my own channel two months ago. I just got monetised this week. I am so happy that I did it. I will post a video about getting your channel monetised as quickly as possible this weekend. I am very excited to share what I have learned!
I retired 6 months ago. Had a nice break and like you, I feel even at 64 I always want to continue to learn and grow. I have had an automotive obsession since I was 12 and loved my career as an auto mechanic, machinist, fabricator, teacher and vehicle builder. I knew retirement for me would not be sitting in a rocking chair sipping tea but wasn't sure what I would do. Its starting to come to me and If I don't start sharing my obsession soon I think I'm gonna burst lol. I'm starting by wathing videos like yours, learning how to make videos, types of videos I want to do, cameras etc. Writing it all in a notebook makes it real. Making a video of myself and posting it feels awkward but I assume like everything else I have done in life it will get easier. Thanks for your inspiration.
You deserve to have millions of followers. Youre the only UA-camr ive followed for years and its great to see how you grow and share that with your viewers, thank you for what you create and share with the world!
Gabe, thank you! I loved this transparent video style. I've been a fan for awhile. You have inspired me to continue with my UA-cam Channel. Anyone who is interested in Portuguese, Brazil, language learning - would love to have you :)
Thanks for throwing this video out there. I've been on the platform for 6 months now and the learning and creative outlet that is completely different from my 9-5 has been my favorite part of the journey so far.
I love your enthusiasm, Gabe, but a UA-cam channel is not in the cards for me. I am legally blind. I CAN'T use a camera, do editing, etc. It's too visually challenging. They don't make editing software for people with less than 20% vision. I'll keep on writing books; eventually I'll figure out book marketing!
There is a blind individual who has a UA-cam channel and it's growing in popularity. I know I subscribed. She's pretty cool, down to earth, points out aspects of life I hadn't noticed in a clever, intelligent manner while showcasing visual videos of herself going through life, going on trips, and different experiences and topics. Idk everything she deals with but I'm pretty sure she's fully blind and seems to enjoy creating her content. Could be worth checking out and connecting to her for advice. Best of luck to you!
What about always living behind a camera, looking at screens, dealing with gadgets to help hold up the camera, lighting, mics, editing footage, hearing your own voice, it just sounds like a miserable way to spend my time. I feel less present in my own life if I'm thinking, oh I need to make videos of this or that. Please help me see the other side of this. Truly want to know what I'm missing here.
You’re missing potentially never having to work for someone else ever again. This kind of thing isn’t for everyone. Maybe it isn’t for you. Or maybe your not the vlogger type but have something else to offer others where you may never even appear onscreen. Or maybe you’re just trying to be dismissive.
These are valid points/ concerns. I like to look at it through the lens of everything have pros and cons. I gladly exchange the camera, screen time, hearing my own voice, etc, for being fully in control of my own time and schedule. Everything can be hard. Choose your hard ❤
thank you Gabe. you have no idea how much this mean to me. I've always wanted to have my own channel but i let my fear get to me. being in front of the camera terrifies me. have a good one. thanks for the inspiration.
I've run a UA-cam channel since 2007. Of course, when your topics are North Dakota, fountain pens, mechanical typewriters, and the occasional deep dive into a topic or obscure books...you don't get many views. But I have some regular commenters that I interact with and my channel has grown. I'm glad I started it and that I've kept with it, even if I don't get that many views.
Im on 60k subs right now and maybe Im not good enough to tell you one thing. Dont start a gaming channel. Believe me. Lets Plays wont bring you somewhere these days. And if you are able to find a Game you have to burnout yourself, rush your game to produce as many videos as possible as soon as possible. This is how I killed my motivation and thinking about doing a second non gaming channel. But Gabe is right. You have to enjoy the progress but it could be that you lose your way and only think about the next sponsorship, if your next videos is a hit or miss. So yeah, never think about success, think about a channel that motivates you to do this for years and improve yourself. And one thing that everyone thinks about himself: "I dont look good, so I dont have to put my face in the internet". Believe me, many people dont even care how you look, if your video is awesome or helpful. And tbh dont be afraid about your friends or family. You think they will stalk you channel? Make fun of you? Nope. I told some friends about mine and guess what? We never speak about it or any video. Everyone is filled with their own problems and seeking for their answers, they dont even have the time to judge me. But this is just my experience. Go out and create! Gabe is a guy who is totally the right guy to give you the best direction.
Thanks for saying the things out load I've been thinking. My channel focuses on Hemp Building or hempcrete. I've really enjoyed making the content, and getting what I feel is an important message out there... I'll keep going!
I have been feeling very "broken" lately about my UA-cam channel, near the point of just scrapping the whole thing. You have inspired and re-kindled me Sir, thank you. I just subscribed.
I am in a phase where I want to create a lot of content and even tried creating some and posted very little out of fear. This video is like a divine message meant for people like me! Thanks Gabe. You are so amazing. ❤
I think this is what many people need to hear, thank you. It doesnt really help me bridge what im stuck at though I did give it a listen. I hope you all have a great ending to this year, and a clear constant growth the following year 🙏
Brilliant as always 💚 It's cool how UA-cam makes the world smaller with like-minded people. I would love to learn something new maybe not UA-cam not sure how (Deaf) but it's interesting Have a Favorite Weekend 💚
Haven't given up yet.. just crossed 42000 subscribers but I hit a bit of a plateau... I don't know Gabe, it's difficult especially when the money isn't there lol
We are Twins and started UA-cam channel 1 month ago. 💛❤ Love helping people emotionally and spiritually. Enjoy your day and my God bless everyone if you.🙏
I have thought about making a channel. I oftentimes felt like I didn't have a lot to say, but I've gone through a health journey that I think other people could benefit from my experience and you made me feel like maybe I should start. It whether anybody watches or not. At least I've put it out there in the universe. Also, I've let my kids start a UA-cam channel where he plays video games and it has helped him grow as a person and his analytical skills and planning and excitement for the growth of his channel is just adorable! I'm so proud of him that he's working on his skills and editing and even his voiceovers just to see him. Get excited about learning new skills makes me so happy for him.
I subbed I will watch! Health issues is what I like to listen and encourage. Life can be tough, but there are a lot of us out there. Life throws some curves. I will wait for your next video! Your grand son can show you in minutes how it’s done 😂
Totally agree. I started making travel and documentary vids, and the skills you pick up along the way are insane (especially filming, storytelling and editing). Plus, it’s just fun to create and share some stories! ✌️
Thank you for this video. It's the right time to see this. I feel so discouraged. This my third active channel (100+ videos in different niches), I hope I will stick with this one and it takes off. I am sure many share similar experience/feelings/hopes as mine.
Everybody that subscribed already has a UA-cam channel what is this high School popularity BS start a UA-cam channel not everybody is going to follow everybody and plus UA-cam is already slowly dying
For many of us starting a UA-cam channel about something actually makes it harder to dig into the thing, because we then have to figure out all this other stuff we aren’t passionate about, acquire all these additional skills, only to reach less people because you aren’t a good editor or cinematographers, thus keeping more people from experiencing your work because it is framed in a lesser quality work of the UA-cam video.
1 day left The 5 Hour UA-camr Cohort yt.gbult.co/5hyt
Hi Gabe. I am very interested in this workshop but like most I will be working 🙄 Will it be offered again? Ever on a Friday or weekend? I have been following you for years! It is so fun to see you and your family grow💗
Will you record this and post it to YT for those of us who can't join live? 🙏
How long is the workshop?
Is this still active? The link shows not
Looks like a broken link
Feeling disheartened. I am leaving this comment here so that after some hours, days, weeks, months or years when someone likes or comment on it, I will be reminded that I didn’t give up
Don’t give up!
Do not give up. There’s someone who would appreciate your smile.
Thanks everyone! will keep uploading!
Don't give up man! Stay positive you got this 🙏🏻
Will be liking and disliking this this comment to like it again every now and then so that you'll be reminded. Rooting for you! ❤

True that! I use my channel to encourage others…but it’s also nice to have an outlet.
Yes, it's CRAZY how much I'm learning all the time in just a year of making UA-cam videos and how exciting it still is! 😍
That’s awesome to hear!
Did you say healing??
Thanks Gabe!
Started being more consistent on UA-cam this year and the part about having things to share with people is something I really connect with. And it’s great to find people that connect in some way with the same things

That’s great! It’s good to just start and see what sticks
I checked your channel out, i like your thumbnails.
@@HealthandWealth-2024 Mine? Oh thanks, I appreciate it.
I lost my job a few weeks ago. I'm AuDHD and have always had trouble holding down a job. I feel like UA-cam/streaming might be a way to actually do something with my life. Thanks for the tips.
MAybe you could do a channel on having ADHD or being Jewish?
Very relatable. The struggle is real! Loads of content to be made living and managing with these conditions. I also have that spicey blend but only realised after having two ASD children. Literally early -mid 40s.
@@MsLinz1975 Hmm, that's an angle I didn't really consider. I try to just "hide" my conditions but maybe putting a little focus on them wouldn't be so bad. Also, same age here! Small world, eh? ;)
OMG your like me seriously from Australia, Researching the same🤗😉
@Malkavian_Grin it's good to bring attention to this. 'What ever makes you weird is your super power' I wouldn't change my little one for anything. His ASD gives him this delightful honest outlook.
Great video, Gabe! I agree. Starting my UA-cam channel was an excellent decision. I was at rockbottom after losing my mother and my brick and mortar business, followed by entering lockdown in a home filled with business stuff here in New Zealand. On top of that I was officially OLD at 65! So, what did I have to lose? It's been a very good decision that helped me not only reinvigorate my arts practice, but gave me a lot of confidence.
I’ve just relaunched my channel and I'm on the grind to 4,000 hours! 😄 Thank you for all your valuable wisdom!
I started my channel during the 2020 quarantine. Really just to keep me occupied because my life was imploding. I didn't expect to keep it going, but here we are. I mostly post me playing piano, and have 75 subscribers. It's been fun! I love interacting with people on the internet in positive ways.
Thank you, I wish good luck, for all of us new UA-camrs🥰
Giving me the final push to get YT channel going, committing an extensive full day next Saturday with no other obligations to get the ball rolling. Thanks for positive encouragement!
How’s the progress?
Love reading through these comments, makes me giddy! Just started my YT channel last week 🎉
He’s a wise potato. Good to do something that makes you feel happy with no expectations. I love potatoes, I love celebrities and I love working with my cousins Tash and Tony. Gary’s a bit moody but he’s hurt his knee and stressed about not sorting out New Year’s Eve. Have fun everyone. I love UA-cam. Peace out, be kind and never catch a cactus. Chip Wedge x
I just started mine last week. Commited to one video a day for a year, looking to move outside my comfort zone and learn as much as I can!
i post every day as well. its time consuming but so worth it. im having a blast. ❤
@ I agree it can be very time consuming, but the growth day to day makes it all the worthwhile as you say! 🙌🏼
Wow. This video really touched me. I don’t comment on many videos and I am not even on UA-cam that much. But what you said about people giving up on their dreams is so true - and many of us do stop growing at a certain point in our lives. Thank you for the inspiration. I’ve started over a number of times in my life and this reinforces the belief that you can’t stop trying.
I started my channel two and a half months ago. It's a labour of love to my listeners. And love doesn't have to be perfect for it to be given. 🎉❤
Subbed
@Dslicckest1 oh wow thanks
The feeling like you’re learning a new language thing is so real. Everything I need to learn feels so daunting some days, some days it feels never ending, but on the flip side I realize I’m growing and learning and that feels massively satisfying.
I was enjoying this video and looked at your subscriber count and was shocked that you're not in the millions. Your videos are always amazing!
I really needed this!! I’ve been in love with fitness and been thinking about it since 2012 thinking “but Im not that big to show my love for it” and so many other excuses. Lately found other love like music so I started dj but felt like I can’t do much to show my love on YT. On all my hobbies I’ve always thought about starting a YT channel but never really end up pulling the trigger. Now my new hobby is learning music production. Now that I’ve seen many videos it I would like to start helping other start new hobbies specifically help them with the ones I know and love. Hopefully I make but it not if can help or many happy at least one person that would make my day
I feel so connected to that. I don’t know what I’m doing with my channel but I feel there’s a story in me. For whoever watches, I’m happy to be just creating. I love it.
Thank you so much. Making videos about what you love is really fun. Just have to be consistent. 😊
Thanks for the video. Good one. I have started to YT channels while having 40 hour work week. Nothing to lose, everything to gain. In the end, YT is a good skill to have because learning soooo much.
I had a channel but started making videos again a month ago. For the things I love doing and inspire me. Like a video diary for me to preserve the memories. I feel so inspired to make videos and to be able one day to go back and watch them. I barely have 100 subscribers but for just one month over 50 people subscribed and they are so supportive.
Thank you for the video, it's so real and inspiring!
Coming to me just at the right time, thank you for your authenticity! 🎉
I started mine in 2009 and just haven't done much with it but recently have made the goal to bring it up to 1000 subs at least and will be posting more. Thanks for your awesome advice.
This video is really well constructed! Keep up the fantastic work! I'm definitely noticing your progression and maturity in life. You're learning so much, it's astonishing. I definitely notice the uptick in video quality and editing. I'm LOVING your channel, everyday I watch you grow up. Stay humble, keep grinding, keep learning, stay present. You absolutely should continue to share your gifts with the world, Gabe! This is an exciting time for you.
Started my channel 7 months back with ~150 subscribers. The process to find my people is on 😊. That was a great statement.
I film so many videos through the year from all the events I go to through the states with the intent of making videos for UA-cam but I have so many hobbies I like to record but ppl say you should niche down when it comes to a channel. It I love lots of stuff like tech, 3D printing, drones, diy projects, reviews videos, comic con, anime expo, creating stuff with blender and unreal engine for fun. I mean. I love it all. After I get done filming stuff, I start to get into the “analysis paralysis” of things on what to actually post. I really just need to just make the videos and just post them and whatever happens, happens.
That sounds like me 😂 I film so many things that I struggle with what video to make next. I decided to not have a niche for my channel, I just post whatever sounds good in the moment.
I just started mine a few days ago! So fun to learn as you go. Enjoying the journey! Thank you for encouraging others to do the same.
Feeling exhausted. I’m leaving this comment here so that after some hours,days,weeks,months or years when someone likes or comment on it,I will be reminded that I didn’t give up
Love your videos Gabe! Definitely inspiring me to start a channel at age 55. Thanks bud for sharing!
Gabe, I’ve been watching you for a long time now. I love your videos and have seen you and your family grow. You’ve inspired me with my financial journey, now I need to let you inspire me to be quiet and create. I was a professional videographer and photographer for 3 years. I have since let my equipment collect dust. People say I have the skillset to go far as a creator, but for whatever reason I just can’t pull the trigger. I need to just try to consistently upload for 3 months, to see if I like it. Let’s hope that I can finally start
Thanks mate: I just started to make UA-cam my full-time job😊 your words are a boost of motivation! ❤
Best of luck!
Love the Flannel!
Same!!
Incredible, I’m in the beginning of a very similar journey. And you gave me so many ideas 💡
And made me a read more confident in my journey.
Thank you 🙏
Ps: here w my UA-cam playground:

I love that you are from New England too. I have fun watching your videos trying to guess where you are. I recognized Newport, RI in a second.
Thanks for the video, awesome content.
This is just great! I’m looking for my tribe and this is a way to find them while also being authentic, which is crucial for us all to connect and thrive. Thank you!
Hell yea thanks for sharing
For sure!
I am so grateful you did start your UA-cam channel Gabe. It is both heartwarming and inspirational to witness you staying humble throughout the years despite your success. Sending you and the family so much love. Hugs Teresa and Family
Thank you so much!
So true about building a community of people like you. I did this with streaming 11 years on Twitch. Now I’m excited to do it on UA-cam ! God Bless brother !
Great message, it's helpful to be reminded why we started in the first place!
I totally agree with everything you said. I started my own channel two months ago. I just got monetised this week. I am so happy that I did it. I will post a video about getting your channel monetised as quickly as possible this weekend. I am very excited to share what I have learned!
Congrats on being monetized 🎊 🍾🎉
Congrats, been struggling to have 1k subs and watch hours😢
Wow congrats🎉
@@aelaeoI feel you my friend. I’m struggling with the same . But we got this! I’ve subbed!❤
@Zphora thank you ☺️
I retired 6 months ago. Had a nice break and like you, I feel even at 64 I always want to continue to learn and grow. I have had an automotive obsession since I was 12 and loved my career as an auto mechanic, machinist, fabricator, teacher and vehicle builder. I knew retirement for me would not be sitting in a rocking chair sipping tea but wasn't sure what I would do. Its starting to come to me and If I don't start sharing my obsession soon I think I'm gonna burst lol. I'm starting by wathing videos like yours, learning how to make videos, types of videos I want to do, cameras etc. Writing it all in a notebook makes it real. Making a video of myself and posting it feels awkward but I assume like everything else I have done in life it will get easier. Thanks for your inspiration.
Thanks Gabe, just what i needed!
Hope it helps!
You deserve to have millions of followers. Youre the only UA-camr ive followed for years and its great to see how you grow and share that with your viewers, thank you for what you create and share with the world!
Gabe, thank you! I loved this transparent video style. I've been a fan for awhile. You have inspired me to continue with my UA-cam Channel.
Anyone who is interested in Portuguese, Brazil, language learning - would love to have you :)
I started following you as far as i remember you only have around 50k+ subscriber and now you have almost 600k subscribers. I admire your consistency.
Thanks for throwing this video out there. I've been on the platform for 6 months now and the learning and creative outlet that is completely different from my 9-5 has been my favorite part of the journey so far.
I love your enthusiasm, Gabe, but a UA-cam channel is not in the cards for me. I am legally blind. I CAN'T use a camera, do editing, etc. It's too visually challenging. They don't make editing software for people with less than 20% vision. I'll keep on writing books; eventually I'll figure out book marketing!
A podcast would be great for you! Easy to creat and minimal upload/editing process
@@victoriaavelar Thanks! I'll look into it.
There is a blind individual who has a UA-cam channel and it's growing in popularity. I know I subscribed. She's pretty cool, down to earth, points out aspects of life I hadn't noticed in a clever, intelligent manner while showcasing visual videos of herself going through life, going on trips, and different experiences and topics. Idk everything she deals with but I'm pretty sure she's fully blind and seems to enjoy creating her content. Could be worth checking out and connecting to her for advice. Best of luck to you!

@lucyedwards
That's her name in case you are interested :)
@@CH-hi300bye Thanks!
Your video really helped me ease my mind around starting a youtube channel. Thank you!
What about always living behind a camera, looking at screens, dealing with gadgets to help hold up the camera, lighting, mics, editing footage, hearing your own voice, it just sounds like a miserable way to spend my time. I feel less present in my own life if I'm thinking, oh I need to make videos of this or that. Please help me see the other side of this. Truly want to know what I'm missing here.
You’re missing potentially never having to work for someone else ever again.
This kind of thing isn’t for everyone. Maybe it isn’t for you. Or maybe your not the vlogger type but have something else to offer others where you may never even appear onscreen. Or maybe you’re just trying to be dismissive.
These are valid points/ concerns. I like to look at it through the lens of everything have pros and cons. I gladly exchange the camera, screen time, hearing my own voice, etc, for being fully in control of my own time and schedule.
Everything can be hard. Choose your hard ❤
thank you Gabe. you have no idea how much this mean to me. I've always wanted to have my own channel but i let my fear get to me. being in front of the camera terrifies me. have a good one. thanks for the inspiration.
Small UA-camrs Gather Here 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yes 🖐️
I like the way that you help me learn the ropes when using UA-cam to tell my story.
I've run a UA-cam channel since 2007. Of course, when your topics are North Dakota, fountain pens, mechanical typewriters, and the occasional deep dive into a topic or obscure books...you don't get many views. But I have some regular commenters that I interact with and my channel has grown. I'm glad I started it and that I've kept with it, even if I don't get that many views.
I’ve had a channel for a year and love to make videos. It’s a great place for creativity.
Great video! Exactly what I needed. I recently started my channel and I’m loving the process! This is not a sprint, but a marathon!
So true!
Im on 60k subs right now and maybe Im not good enough to tell you one thing. Dont start a gaming channel. Believe me. Lets Plays wont bring you somewhere these days. And if you are able to find a Game you have to burnout yourself, rush your game to produce as many videos as possible as soon as possible. This is how I killed my motivation and thinking about doing a second non gaming channel.
But Gabe is right. You have to enjoy the progress but it could be that you lose your way and only think about the next sponsorship, if your next videos is a hit or miss.
So yeah, never think about success, think about a channel that motivates you to do this for years and improve yourself.
And one thing that everyone thinks about himself: "I dont look good, so I dont have to put my face in the internet".
Believe me, many people dont even care how you look, if your video is awesome or helpful. And tbh dont be afraid about your friends or family. You think they will stalk you channel? Make fun of you?
Nope.
I told some friends about mine and guess what? We never speak about it or any video. Everyone is filled with their own problems and seeking for their answers, they dont even have the time to judge me.
But this is just my experience.
Go out and create! Gabe is a guy who is totally the right guy to give you the best direction.
This was awesome. Thank you for sharing 😊
Nice advice 👌
Thanks for saying the things out load I've been thinking. My channel focuses on Hemp Building or hempcrete. I've really enjoyed making the content, and getting what I feel is an important message out there... I'll keep going!
Started taking my channel seriously 3 days ago. I don't plan to stop!😊
Congrats my friend! Subbed❤
@Zphora thank you 💜
I have been feeling very "broken" lately about my UA-cam channel, near the point of just scrapping the whole thing. You have inspired and re-kindled me Sir, thank you. I just subscribed.
Just started my channel and love seeing stuff like this
I am in a phase where I want to create a lot of content and even tried creating some and posted very little out of fear. This video is like a divine message meant for people like me! Thanks Gabe. You are so amazing. ❤
First, greeting from Ghana 🇬🇭
Hello there!
I think this is what many people need to hear, thank you. It doesnt really help me bridge what im stuck at though I did give it a listen. I hope you all have a great ending to this year, and a clear constant growth the following year 🙏
I may do one about obtaining early time freedom. When asked how I can point them to it, further freeing my time. Thank you!
Gabe, thank you for this encouragement. ✨ It reinspired me about persevering in my business and to keep trying to reach people. 💜
Brilliant as always 💚 It's cool how UA-cam makes the world smaller with like-minded people. I would love to learn something new maybe not UA-cam not sure how (Deaf) but it's interesting Have a Favorite Weekend 💚
We call those echo chambers.
Hasn't done the world any good i can see. We don't even really socialize anymore.
i started Octobre 2023 and have now 1300 Subscriber. It works... keep going people!
Haven't given up yet.. just crossed 42000 subscribers but I hit a bit of a plateau... I don't know Gabe, it's difficult especially when the money isn't there lol
Congratulations, that’s an awesome number. 😊
We are Twins and started UA-cam channel 1 month ago. 💛❤
Love helping people emotionally and spiritually.
Enjoy your day and my God bless everyone if you.🙏
I have thought about making a channel.
I oftentimes felt like I didn't have a lot to say, but I've gone through a health journey that I think other people could benefit from my experience and you made me feel like maybe I should start. It whether anybody watches or not. At least I've put it out there in the universe.
Also, I've let my kids start a UA-cam channel where he plays video games and it has helped him grow as a person and his analytical skills and planning and excitement for the growth of his channel is just adorable! I'm so proud of him that he's working on his skills and editing and even his voiceovers just to see him. Get excited about learning new skills makes me so happy for him.
I subbed I will watch! Health issues is what I like to listen and encourage. Life can be tough, but there are a lot of us out there. Life throws some curves. I will wait for your next video! Your grand son can show you in minutes how it’s done 😂
Totally agree.
I started making travel and documentary vids, and the skills you pick up along the way are insane (especially filming, storytelling and editing).
Plus, it’s just fun to create and share some stories! ✌️
I’m seeing so many “you should start a UA-cam channel” videos these days. Is UA-cam sending y’all bonuses for making these?
Maybe that’s your sign 😛
come on dude tell me about it😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you, I am trying just that. Hope will grow more one day.
Bro I repeated that edit at 0:20 about 20 times! That was SLICK!
Thank you for this video. It's the right time to see this. I feel so discouraged. This my third active channel (100+ videos in different niches), I hope I will stick with this one and it takes off. I am sure many share similar experience/feelings/hopes as mine.
Yeah, I need to know that my ideas are adequately censored!
50 subscribers here. Been putting off making anything lately I think out of fear/embarrassment but this just energized me
Everybody that subscribed already has a UA-cam channel what is this high School popularity BS start a UA-cam channel not everybody is going to follow everybody and plus UA-cam is already slowly dying
For many of us starting a UA-cam channel about something actually makes it harder to dig into the thing, because we then have to figure out all this other stuff we aren’t passionate about, acquire all these additional skills, only to reach less people because you aren’t a good editor or cinematographers, thus keeping more people from experiencing your work because it is framed in a lesser quality work of the UA-cam video.
