Its like this. If you cant quit your job and survive by not working for a few years then there is no reason to take content creation serious. I dont even take content creators who have a job serious
Don't fall for the click bait ( pleeeeaaasssseee ) Anton i know your not telling nobody not to make millions like you right ?????

Any thing of significance is hard work. It doesn’t matter if you’re making content, developing products, solving problems, fixing things, or building a business.
Or working a job! People like to shame those who discipline themselves to take a opportunity to work a job to provide for themselves and/or family. Some are wise enough to know that the job is not the endgame yet it's a means to get to a position of stability in order to make strategic investments in themselves. Investing in erudition, development of skills, and also networking opportunities that a job can place one in position to seize once presented. Everyone has to play the cards they are dealt! The key is to determine what you want and go for it by any means necessary.
When people tell you something is HARD, it's just their way of trying to scare you from doing it. That's just the thing you need to be doing. If it's so hard, why are they still in it. NO CAPP IN 2024.
Because they love and care for what they do. Something can be hard but it's a labour of love especially if you see things that are rewarding as a result of your hard work. Everything is not meant to be easy. They are warning you of the illusions, not to warn you away. That's the difference.

Anton never lies. Business is hard, creating is hard. Anything worth having is hard to attain. I been in business 4 years in ecomm in a competitive niches making a few thousand a month and I could not imagine quitting my day job. There are too many benefits and opportunities there. I personally just don't believe in the whole "leap of faith".. I take calculated risk. I'll probably never quit my day job. I have to be clearing consistently several hundred thousands of dollars before i even consider that. And be clear it's not something you can do completely solo. You'll need a team of some sort. And people don't understand that aspect either.

Not really ppl will buy it and not even look at it and say it won’t work or just won’t look at it at all after they buy it..yes been guilty of that too but it’s a revenue stream as long as ppl buy it they don’t care if you don’t use it no matter how valuable the info is.

I won't quit my job because I like my job. In fact, I got 2 jobs and I like both jobs. I just do UA-cam as a hobby. If it makes money, then fine! Such would be icing on the cake alongside what I make as a living!
This is a great message fam, I have a online boutique and a car rental company and i still haven’t quit my job yet,I’m a us contractor overseas,I need the security until I’m 100% sure and my hustles blow up

It looks shweet style, so comfy big seat cushion , probably 3-4k……but I’m paranoid , heard too many stories ev bikes China made …,with its volatile battery 🔥 hazards to my apt bldg.
I do in home phone repair so I fix broken phones and sell them to buyers. It's slow when it's new but I know it keeps me above water because I do reverse selling through mastering negotiation
Most ppl couldn’t do it. I’m starting to script write and video edit on my own and it literally takes days to get one video together. Even then it’s only 80 percent complete cause I have to go in a revise it to make sure it’s up to UA-cam standards. Content creation is no joke.
@@WizardsPath-if5oq as a beginner u need find the right transitions from video to video that’s matches ur script. I don’t sit in front of a computer all day I have a job also. Starting out this isn’t my full time gig. Are u a video editor? If not u don’t have a idea how hard that work is smh. Especially if u want top quality videos
@@Understandme44 I feel you. I wanted to start a faceless UA-cam channel but don't know how to edit or go about doing it at all. And then I gotta worry about copyright
This dude is spot on. I've been an entrepreneur for 20 years, and the first five years were brutal; lots of sacrifices, but worth it if you are willing to risk it all. I'm Content creating as my second streaming of income and would not trust being a content creator as my only income, but hey, go for it.
If I can interject! Get in sales and thank me later. Best of both worlds. No cap on income. It’s hard at first just like anything but once you get out the curve, results are exponential!
Broooo this is a great video and you made so many valid points. The pandemic had everyone and their Mom believe that they could be content creators or entrepreneurs because they had so much free time on their hands. Every person’s page that you hit on IG or FB, they have “I’m an entrepreneur “ in their bio and half of them don’t even know wtf that entails of. They think just making a couple of candles or selling lashes qualifies them to be one. But don’t understand the risks and dedication needed. Social media in general have mfs trying to be something that they’re not just so that they can feel good about themselves or “look” successful, not actually be successful.
Real wisdom right here….I tried it for a bit and it’s tough as hell lol. I am still planning some ideas, but taking time to gain experience in my industry while I save up, invest for the future, and brainstorm in the meantime.
I live here in Georgia, everybody I meet is a real estate agent…recently National Association of Realtors settled a lawsuit and now the realtors can’t get that 5%-6% commission its under 2%. Nothing is guaranteed don’t quit your day job especially if you have health insurance and your job has a pension plan. Keep it diversified.
Lmfaooo what? Shut up.. you don’t even understand the settlement.. it’s not in effect yet… nobody said you can’t charge 5 or 6% anymore…. Please read more on things before you start spewing b.s.
Thanks for sharing that with people. I had a job and made 6 figures for 3 straight years before I got into real estate. And i KEPT working that same job. Wherher its business or content, its not easy. It's simple, but not easy.
@@WizardsPath-if5oq Good paying factory job with ALOT of OT. Several 6-7 day weeks and double shifts. I was grossing more than 10,000 per month. Good money for the Midwest but after a few years I knew my body could not sustain that pace.
@@WizardsPath-if5oq Lincoln Electric. But aside from them, id check other good paying factory jobs. Also if you have a fairly clean background, I'd look into being my a CO on the state, county or city level. Reason being the s those jobs are LOADED with OT. You can get 24-32 hours per week OT at $45-50 per hour. I know a HR lady for the State of Ohio and she says 2/3 applicants cancel their interviews. Ohio and Michigan have trouble staffing at state, county and city levels.
I love the UA-cam grind. I’m on the verge of hitting 100k subs but most of those are from short form videos so really I only make like…$35 a day 😂 on a GOOD day I make $90 a day and if someone really contributes during live streams we can get up to $200 but it takes a lot of support from the viewers to hit that. That’s not including affiliate links, commissions, patreon, and ad revenue from other platforms. Honestly this last month was my FIRST 4 digit payday after 4 years of grinding on UA-cam. Kids are making more at McDonald’s in cali 😂😂😂😂 but I know this continues to grow while they hit a dead end and stay stagnant. I’m here for the grind. Every day. Every night. It’s CONTENT creation time. No days off.
You ain’t never lied. It’s definitely difficult to maintain. It’s trial and error for me. I’m starting from scratch again, but learning how this whole thing works. Thanks for the encouraging bid 💯💯💪🏽
100% any of my friends worth $2mil+ had many years they had to work 6 days or 60hrs a week to build up their base. Gotta be less than 1% who put in 32hrs a week and go from.zero to millions.
I’m a rockstar guitar player. This man is telling the truth. I went back and got a tech job cause the money was way too up and down for me to stay strong. I’m still figuring it out but the trade off is not being worried about bills vs. being a little more tired when making content. it’s over with once i lock in tho 🤘🏽
Same here i dj on the side found a new job dont have the option to take days off anymore when i feel like it to take a gig so now im missing out on so many but it still evens out with the salary im getting now
Moist Washkins said stop being a corporate slave. I can imagine millions of people doing just that and standing around. Because when something gets hot everybody does it and it gets over saturated. Keep your day job and do your side hustle consistently.
Eh… I decided to lean heavily into the business side of UA-cam more than the entertainment side. I run a hand full of channels, but I hardly ever touch content creation anymore. It’s all outsourced. All I handle is the logistics now. I could even outsource this if I wanted. I say all of that to say this: there’s more than one way to tackle UA-cam an entertainment is probably one of the worst ways.
I have a ton of respect for CC. It’s not easy to be entertaining and educational simultaneously. I’m still gonna give it a shot eventually, but I’m not going to rely on revenue from content creation at all.
Anton I am new to your channel. I respect your hustle. But everyone is not there. As a successful brother, step 1 is to learn to live on less than you earn. This simple rule can allow you to save and invest into more lucrative endeavors. No matter what you make, adjust your lifestyle to account for unknowns, savings and investing. This is the simple truth.
It’s a really tough start to, I’m a local Truck driver and even though i make 100k a year it’s the IRS that takes so much out,, I also have a small Hat embroidery business on the side so it’s a tough balance,, I’m a first time 100k maker and a first time small business owner,, sometimes it makes me reminisce on how easy it was to be poor 😂😂 although I ain’t NEVER going back to being poor.. guess we have to pick our battles
I was in the electricians & i left to be an entrepreneur. This month is my 3 year anniversary. Currently learning to trade & invest. Yesterday made my 1st $100 in the market
💯 Man I don’t be seeing the whole quit and make magic happen… like I gotta eat in the mean time and everything takes a dollar to fuel… marketing and pushing and connecting… getting this to turn into that and make it come back better…. Investing takes money then when it comes back over time 🔑 you gotta make it worth the whole endeavor to fund you consistently or make a big turnover and that’s rare lol whole time your living situation and commuting costs food and what not are steady hitting you lol idk about this whole quit and life is going to be thrown at you… and in all that stuff above….. you gotta be consistent and make a good name and brand… with a strong reputation over time with different ppl… like say your a landscaper building patios and walkways etc you have to have examples and constant referrals …. I know nothing of this nvm idk what I’m talking about… if I were to even think about that shhhhh a bunch of that would be part of navigating that journey
Facts I don't own a business yet but as a Hustler that grinds i know from experience when you own a business it's no days off and keep your 9-5 for your benefits and 401k
I like my job! Being a over the road trucker I get to travel north America Canada and Mexico. But I do wanna start my own business after I'm done trucking. Might get into real estate or a laundromat business or vending machine franchise. I haven't decided quite yet. But I do have enough money saved to start a legitimate business.
The only think about my channel is my podcasts are up to 7hrs long. Yes. That's not a typo. I make content for people who are busy and can't always look at the screen, so I talk A LOT and cover many topics per video. It's a FULL TIME JOB to sit in a chair for 7hrs straight - no bathroom break! I do it all the time, tho....6hr streams...no bathroom. 5hrs...no bathroom. 4hrs...no bathroom. I stay and interact with the chat the entire time. THIS IS NOT EASY, and I do up to 12 streams per month like that. That's about 60hrs of SITTING IN A CHAIR and talking, per month. Then add the VIDEOS I make...the edits...the content creation, etc. It's a job within itself, and UA-cam/Google does no pay unless you go viral. Your RPM is not high enough to make a living on, so you're gonna need another job until you're over 50-80k subs, running almost 75k views to 150 views PER DAY on your channel. People thinking: "...I'm gonna do a video and go viral...", it doesn't work like that. And 99% of the people out there DON"T GO VIRAL every single day. You get 1 viral video every 6 to 9 months, if you're lucky. That video is not a video you will NOT be able to make a living on, unless you're Club Shay Shay with 80mil views on a single interview. THAT IS RARE!
That bike is 🔥! In my opinion, I don’t think a motorcycle is a good idea. Not because of you but because of other drivers. People aren’t paying attention because they are looking at their phones. I have lost a few people who rode motorcycles and I know someone who lost limbs. You have way too many people depending on you. I’ve never been a doom and gloom type of person but in this case, I think you have to make a precautionary decision. That’s just my thoughts. Wish you the best and keep going🤙🏾
If you’ve never been on a street you won’t understand don’t put your fears off other people the bike life is a whole lifestyle on top of the fact you can network you’d be surprised how many high profile people ride when get one you’ll probably never drive a car ever again. # bike life it’s a lifestyle not a trend 🏍️🏍️🏍️
Do start your own Business and be A content creator.. you work for yourself, you suffer, but also reap all the rewards too when sheit goes awesome. Be your own boss. It's worth slaving yourself for you! not others.
My question is "what content are creators created? I do not want to follow someone's day to day life. Some of them products they have on them vlogs don't be all that great or last long on the market.
I own my own business, due to technology, I had to get a job. Keep some money saved to buy equipment to stay up with new gadgets is you are going to have your own business.
E-bikes are the cheapest way to travel from Coast to coast. Amazon online shopping or Walmart online shopping or eBay online shopping. The prices for e-bikes varies. You can find the cheapest bike for your budget or the most expensive. My favorite e-bike is the opti-bike. It goes 300 miles per charge. Yes you heard it, 300 miles per charge. If you got money like that to buy an opti-bike, it's a good investment. Former NFL pro bowl at DeMarcus Ware purchase it back in the day in 2009.

Hey Anton... You walking a little bit too far from that bike now... LOL... I have a Sondors Orange foldable e bike. Gets up to 22 miles. I love hitting the Dequindre cut and riding downtown myself. They recently opened up the bike trail at Mt Elliott that connects to Belle Isle and I'm excited to explore that area. Anyway.. I'm not quitting my job anytime soon. I'm studying the cloud right now via AWS. I have a few more certs to get, and I'm planning to sit for the exam at the end of April. Can't wait.
I can't imagine having to do all that research, edit and than setup the stream, buy equipment and have to entertain people and than have to deal with trolls because they think differently and than I have to constantly keep .. it's terrible, how do you do it ? Especially coming up with the topic and research and doing the work and than the trolls mess with you .. I can't I'm too short tempered .... And that's just one stream now I have to get up and do it again lol hell no .I like my sanity and my privacy ...
Real talk-- my channel (The Chris Collective) is at 1,100+ subscribers in under 6 months, but I still have yet to be monetized because my watch hours are under the 4k requirement. IT IS HARD... BUT FUN! Oh yeah, I only spend 1-2 hours on UA-cam daily because of my 9-5 job & my 2nd job.

I do in home phone repair so I fix broken phones and sell them to buyers. It's slow when it's new but I know it keeps me above water because I do reverse selling through mastering negotiation
Most ppl couldn’t do it. I’m starting to script write and video edit on my own and it literally takes days to get one video together. Even then it’s only 80 percent complete cause I have to go in a revise it to make sure it’s up to UA-cam standards. Content creation is no joke.
How in the world does it take days to video edit?
@@WizardsPath-if5oq as a beginner u need find the right transitions from video to video that’s matches ur script. I don’t sit in front of a computer all day I have a job also. Starting out this isn’t my full time gig. Are u a video editor? If not u don’t have a idea how hard that work is smh. Especially if u want top quality videos
@@Understandme44 I feel you. I wanted to start a faceless UA-cam channel but don't know how to edit or go about doing it at all. And then I gotta worry about copyright
This dude is spot on. I've been an entrepreneur for 20 years, and the first five years were brutal; lots of sacrifices, but worth it if you are willing to risk it all. I'm Content creating as my second streaming of income and would not trust being a content creator as my only income, but hey, go for it.
If I can interject! Get in sales and thank me later. Best of both worlds. No cap on income. It’s hard at first just like anything but once you get out the curve, results are exponential!
Yes the truth needs to be told thanks for this this bro!
Broooo this is a great video and you made so many valid points. The pandemic had everyone and their Mom believe that they could be content creators or entrepreneurs because they had so much free time on their hands. Every person’s page that you hit on IG or FB, they have “I’m an entrepreneur “ in their bio and half of them don’t even know wtf that entails of. They think just making a couple of candles or selling lashes qualifies them to be one. But don’t understand the risks and dedication needed. Social media in general have mfs trying to be something that they’re not just so that they can feel good about themselves or “look” successful, not actually be successful.
💯 percent FACTZ!
thanks for the honesty Anton salute
Real wisdom right here….I tried it for a bit and it’s tough as hell lol. I am still planning some ideas, but taking time to gain experience in my industry while I save up, invest for the future, and brainstorm in the meantime.
I live here in Georgia, everybody I meet is a real estate agent…recently National Association of Realtors settled a lawsuit and now the realtors can’t get that 5%-6% commission its under 2%. Nothing is guaranteed don’t quit your day job especially if you have health insurance and your job has a pension plan. Keep it diversified.
Lmfaooo what? Shut up.. you don’t even understand the settlement.. it’s not in effect yet… nobody said you can’t charge 5 or 6% anymore…. Please read more on things before you start spewing b.s.
Thanks for sharing that with people. I had a job and made 6 figures for 3 straight years before I got into real estate. And i KEPT working that same job. Wherher its business or content, its not easy. It's simple, but not easy.
What job was it?
@@WizardsPath-if5oq Factory job with ALOT of OT.
@@WizardsPath-if5oq Good paying factory job with ALOT of OT. Several 6-7 day weeks and double shifts. I was grossing more than 10,000 per month. Good money for the Midwest but after a few years I knew my body could not sustain that pace.
@@millardthomas9059 They still hiring? What's name of company?
@@WizardsPath-if5oq Lincoln Electric. But aside from them, id check other good paying factory jobs. Also if you have a fairly clean background, I'd look into being my a CO on the state, county or city level. Reason being the s those jobs are LOADED with OT. You can get 24-32 hours per week OT at $45-50 per hour. I know a HR lady for the State of Ohio and she says 2/3 applicants cancel their interviews. Ohio and Michigan have trouble staffing at state, county and city levels.
I love the UA-cam grind. I’m on the verge of hitting 100k subs but most of those are from short form videos so really I only make like…$35 a day 😂 on a GOOD day I make $90 a day and if someone really contributes during live streams we can get up to $200 but it takes a lot of support from the viewers to hit that. That’s not including affiliate links, commissions, patreon, and ad revenue from other platforms. Honestly this last month was my FIRST 4 digit payday after 4 years of grinding on UA-cam. Kids are making more at McDonald’s in cali 😂😂😂😂 but I know this continues to grow while they hit a dead end and stay stagnant.
I’m here for the grind. Every day. Every night. It’s CONTENT creation time. No days off.
This is the type of vids that should go viral. You keeping it real
You ain’t never lied. It’s definitely difficult to maintain. It’s trial and error for me. I’m starting from scratch again, but learning how this whole thing works. Thanks for the encouraging bid 💯💯💪🏽
100% any of my friends worth $2mil+ had many years they had to work 6 days or 60hrs a week to build up their base. Gotta be less than 1% who put in 32hrs a week and go from.zero to millions.
People need this truth. Thank you for keeping 💯
Love the wisdom Anton. Get yo paper❗️
I’m a rockstar guitar player. This man is telling the truth. I went back and got a tech job cause the money was way too up and down for me to stay strong. I’m still figuring it out but the trade off is not being worried about bills vs. being a little more tired when making content.
it’s over with once i lock in tho 🤘🏽
Same here i dj on the side found a new job dont have the option to take days off anymore when i feel like it to take a gig so now im missing out on so many but it still evens out with the salary im getting now
Moist Washkins said stop being a corporate slave. I can imagine millions of people doing just that and standing around. Because when something gets hot everybody does it and it gets over saturated. Keep your day job and do your side hustle consistently.
In year 5 and there is nothing easy about exposure, especially when your target demographic don’t even utilize social media
No lies told here. Don't ever envy others. There are positives and negatives to every lifestyle👁
Eh… I decided to lean heavily into the business side of UA-cam more than the entertainment side. I run a hand full of channels, but I hardly ever touch content creation anymore. It’s all outsourced. All I handle is the logistics now. I could even outsource this if I wanted.
I say all of that to say this: there’s more than one way to tackle UA-cam an entertainment is probably one of the worst ways.
Great information
Definitely difficult to be a context creator and entrepreneur
Don’t Give Up
Don’t Ever not Do what makes you Happy!
Too on point regarding my life thanks
Thats a nice ass bike😢
I appreciate you Man. You've truly opened my eyes up! ✊🏿 💯
Many facts given love how you are keeping an eye on that bike. 🙂
Here in San Antonio and Austin , they have electric scooters lined up around downtown you can rent with your phone.
I have a ton of respect for CC. It’s not easy to be entertaining and educational simultaneously. I’m still gonna give it a shot eventually, but I’m not going to rely on revenue from content creation at all.
Anton I am new to your channel. I respect your hustle. But everyone is not there. As a successful brother, step 1 is to learn to live on less than you earn. This simple rule can allow you to save and invest into more lucrative endeavors. No matter what you make, adjust your lifestyle to account for unknowns, savings and investing. This is the simple truth.
I’ve been an entrepreneur for 13 years and it gets exhausting sometimes I just take a break and go get a job
How does your business stay afloat?
Straight “G”ame man💫 love how you share the game…much success🙏🏽
It’s a really tough start to, I’m a local Truck driver and even though i make 100k a year it’s the IRS that takes so much out,, I also have a small Hat embroidery business on the side so it’s a tough balance,, I’m a first time 100k maker and a first time small business owner,, sometimes it makes me reminisce on how easy it was to be poor 😂😂 although I ain’t NEVER going back to being poor.. guess we have to pick our battles
Keep telling the truth brother
I know many friends that need to watch this!!
I was in the electricians & i left to be an entrepreneur. This month is my 3 year anniversary.
Currently learning to trade & invest. Yesterday made my 1st $100 in the market
Congratulations 🎊🎊🎊
@@honeychick4ever280 🙏🏾
💯 Man I don’t be seeing the whole quit and make magic happen… like I gotta eat in the mean time and everything takes a dollar to fuel… marketing and pushing and connecting… getting this to turn into that and make it come back better…. Investing takes money then when it comes back over time 🔑 you gotta make it worth the whole endeavor to fund you consistently or make a big turnover and that’s rare lol whole time your living situation and commuting costs food and what not are steady hitting you lol idk about this whole quit and life is going to be thrown at you… and in all that stuff above….. you gotta be consistent and make a good name and brand… with a strong reputation over time with different ppl… like say your a landscaper building patios and walkways etc you have to have examples and constant referrals …. I know nothing of this nvm idk what I’m talking about… if I were to even think about that shhhhh a bunch of that would be part of navigating that journey
Facts I don't own a business yet but as a Hustler that grinds i know from experience when you own a business it's no days off and keep your 9-5 for your benefits and 401k
UA-camrs are more active on Snapchat now! I hear the big bucks are there
The fact that you have to tell adults this is cringe, should be a no brainer! Sad 🤦🏾♂️
When You Read the Fine Print So To Speak ,Anton is Giving the Facts.
However Keep On Grinding All the Best To You All.
I like my job! Being a over the road trucker I get to travel north America Canada and Mexico. But I do wanna start my own business after I'm done trucking. Might get into real estate or a laundromat business or vending machine franchise. I haven't decided quite yet. But I do have enough money saved to start a legitimate business.
0:41 true that! quickest, easiest and safest way to get around in major Cities, especially in New York.
The only think about my channel is my podcasts are up to 7hrs long. Yes. That's not a typo. I make content for people who are busy and can't always look at the screen, so I talk A LOT and cover many topics per video. It's a FULL TIME JOB to sit in a chair for 7hrs straight - no bathroom break! I do it all the time, tho....6hr streams...no bathroom. 5hrs...no bathroom. 4hrs...no bathroom. I stay and interact with the chat the entire time. THIS IS NOT EASY, and I do up to 12 streams per month like that. That's about 60hrs of SITTING IN A CHAIR and talking, per month. Then add the VIDEOS I make...the edits...the content creation, etc. It's a job within itself, and UA-cam/Google does no pay unless you go viral. Your RPM is not high enough to make a living on, so you're gonna need another job until you're over 50-80k subs, running almost 75k views to 150 views PER DAY on your channel. People thinking: "...I'm gonna do a video and go viral...", it doesn't work like that. And 99% of the people out there DON"T GO VIRAL every single day. You get 1 viral video every 6 to 9 months, if you're lucky. That video is not a video you will NOT be able to make a living on, unless you're Club Shay Shay with 80mil views on a single interview. THAT IS RARE!
Awesome, honest, & true video in regards to owning a business 👍🏿👍🏿🇺🇸🇺🇸
That bike is 🔥! In my opinion, I don’t think a motorcycle is a good idea. Not because of you but because of other drivers. People aren’t paying attention because they are looking at their phones. I have lost a few people who rode motorcycles and I know someone who lost limbs. You have way too many people depending on you. I’ve never been a doom and gloom type of person but in this case, I think you have to make a precautionary decision. That’s just my thoughts. Wish you the best and keep going🤙🏾
If you’ve never been on a street you won’t understand don’t put your fears off other people the bike life is a whole lifestyle on top of the fact you can network you’d be surprised how many high profile people ride when get one you’ll probably never drive a car ever again. # bike life it’s a lifestyle not a trend 🏍️🏍️🏍️
Do start your own Business and be A content creator.. you work for yourself, you suffer, but also reap all the rewards too when sheit goes awesome. Be your own boss. It's worth slaving yourself for you! not others.
There is still nothing wrong with leveraging your job/career to build your business. Be smart.
@@ptcpowerup1350 of course.... but working for others should never be a primary to your life or own business.
Get the Motorcycle....stop taking half measures! 😎
Got your gear i see you bro 💯
My question is "what content are creators created? I do not want to follow someone's day to day life.
Some of them products they have on them vlogs don't be all that great or last long on the market.
I own my own business, due to technology, I had to get a job. Keep some money saved to buy equipment to stay up with new gadgets is you are going to have your own business.
E-bikes are the cheapest way to travel from Coast to coast. Amazon online shopping or Walmart online shopping or eBay online shopping. The prices for e-bikes varies. You can find the cheapest bike for your budget or the most expensive. My favorite e-bike is the opti-bike. It goes 300 miles per charge. Yes you heard it, 300 miles per charge. If you got money like that to buy an opti-bike, it's a good investment. Former NFL pro bowl at DeMarcus Ware purchase it back in the day in 2009.
Content creation definitely takes passion because editing etc. is no joke but you have to have that same discipline as your 9-5.
Content creators is the toughest job in the world 😂
Man I definitely rock with your content.
This is definitely a GRIND! 😊
I appreciate this , Thank you
Real talk... thanks
U gave me motivation
Well said…👊😁💯
🔥🔥🔥🔥This video should actually go SUPER VIRAL!!!! Bro is speaking the TRUTH!!!!!🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥 it’s the diligent hand that gets rich. Passive income is an illusion in most cases. Keep Grindin’ or Keep your day job.
My neighbor got a ver very similar E-Bike. 😂 prolly the same one for sure
Thankyou! Great Advice Anton🙌🏾💯
From and in the Corporate World! Of course I live by the Calendar 🤷🏾♂️😂
Appreciate you…some think a Military Career is easy $. It takes a lot to subscribe 20 + years to 1 mission… yeah, getting a pension that’s Taxed. It’s loot, a little bit to some as well as a lot to others. Ask your Chasers/Supporters if they’re willing to look back and truthfully say I got it how I lived. Peace and Blessings to you and your Family.
You use your job to fund your campaign. I got a business in development I've had a chance to not work for a year putting together. Shit is expensive af, I had to get a job until we launch AND start making real money. Do not quit your job on God you'll need the revenue. If you don't get loc or grants.
Biiiiiiiig FACTS💯😩
Awesome, advice 🙏🏼. Thank You!
Yes its very hard..its taking me forever to get monitized..😩
Keep grinding! ❤🎉
Great vid right here. Count the cost and there are true tradeoffs in this life. Pros and Cons to each side but for sure, not as easy as it looks.
Wow I have a Corvette, BMW, Jeep, and 96 Impala SS and I also have the Revv1 up lol
Hey Anton... You walking a little bit too far from that bike now... LOL... I have a Sondors Orange foldable e bike. Gets up to 22 miles. I love hitting the Dequindre cut and riding downtown myself. They recently opened up the bike trail at Mt Elliott that connects to Belle Isle and I'm excited to explore that area. Anyway.. I'm not quitting my job anytime soon. I'm studying the cloud right now via AWS. I have a few more certs to get, and I'm planning to sit for the exam at the end of April. Can't wait.
Thanks
Maan i like riding bikes thru dowtown detroit thats the best way to get thru traffic, been doing it for well over 10-12+ yrs.
I can't imagine having to do all that research, edit and than setup the stream, buy equipment and have to entertain people and than have to deal with trolls because they think differently and than I have to constantly keep .. it's terrible, how do you do it ? Especially coming up with the topic and research and doing the work and than the trolls mess with you .. I can't I'm too short tempered .... And that's just one stream now I have to get up and do it again lol hell no .I like my sanity and my privacy ...
Real talk-- my channel (The Chris Collective) is at 1,100+ subscribers in under 6 months, but I still have yet to be monetized because my watch hours are under the 4k requirement. IT IS HARD... BUT FUN! Oh yeah, I only spend 1-2 hours on UA-cam daily because of my 9-5 job & my 2nd job.
Thank You?!! Finally some said IT? Explained why...😊
It’s definitely a job. I’ve grown my pages in views but followers are kinda hard. I take it serious but maybe ppl just don’t like me 😂😂
