    As a 70+ guy, UA-cam has given me a hobby that totally fills my days with learning, testing, filming, audio, ...its just great ... certainly keeps you going. Have nearly a 100 videos up now. Some vids I'm happy with some I'm not, but I keep trying to learn and acquire new skills. It's just a great experience and will leave a legacy for my family and friends.

I was looking up tutorials to make my videos better and more entertaining so students wouldn't be bored when watching the video in class. I was so excited to find you and follow your tutorials for my videos in the class. I was telling everyone around me, classmates, my teacher, just about anyone who was interested. I was always into photography and kinda interested in video, but never did much with either. You inspired me to try to follow photo and video because of your photos and the insane videos you make.

    There's some really solid advice here, and it's great that most of the points apply to every type of content creator rather than just vloggers and filmmakers. I strongly believe that the key to success on UA-cam is to find something that you're passionate about and to put your entire heart into it, and I think Peter hit the nail right on the head with point 2 about doing it for the right reasons. Having an original concept or style is extremely beneficial as well, but if people can tell that you're passionate and putting in a ton of effort, then the views and subscribers will follow naturally. I started my channel during university with nothing but a laptop (not even a camera), but I spent 100+ hours on each video and people slowly started to take notice. Like Peter said, you don't need expensive equipment or software to get started in the beginning. You just need a solid idea, a bit of motivation, and some strong initiative!
    Oh, and I almost forgot:
    Happy Birthday, Peter! : )

    Thanks for this video. You've convinced me to start my own youtube channel a few months ago. But after putting a lot of effort into making my first two videos, I find it hard to keep putting quality over quantity. It's really hard to get traction on videos that I consider to be providing quality content. It seems like people quit listening as soon as it stops bursting with action. It got me questioning whether it is worth all the efforts. But after watching this video, I will keep producing for myself rather then the potential for result.
    Cheers from Ottawa. And great work... as always. 😉

      I hear you on quality. Conventional YT advice is about quantity, but sticking to why you started and the audience you care about connecting with first - you'll always have staying power and be energized. Most will never even start as Peter states here. Keep making great quality content and enjoy the journey.
