Could I Make It On YouTube?
I so often don’t ask for help. But I can't stop thinking about what my life would be like if I was a YouTuber.
Could I do this? Could I build a successful channel on YouTube and create a following?
Here’s a list of why this could work:
I have all the technical equipment.
I know how to film and edit. (Thank you, film school.)
I am really comfortable in front of a camera.
But most of all, I am willing to go DEEP and BE REAL.
I get so freaking excited by the possibility of succeeding on YouTube. Maybe too excited. So then I run off a different list intended to manage my excitement.
It takes years to make a single dollar.
99.9% of YouTubers fail.
There are millions of channels already.
YouTube is known to have some of the worst commenters.
It takes a shitload of time to edit videos.
You can't hide in a video. Your face and your voice are there for everyone.
I’ve had many other ideas in the past that did NOT workout and it was really disappointing. So I'm trying to protect my heart.
But what I’ve learned lately is that releasing dreams into the world builds momentum and accountability. My mind is still blown by what has happened so far with my SoftMen Book project. So for now, I am just going to claim my desire. Feel it with everything I have and pay close attention to when the Universe opens a path.
I believe I can make a big impact on YouTube, and I have no clue how to go about this.
Can someone in my community help me? Do you guys have resources, experience, or support that will help me get closer to my dream?
PS: Here’s my first video podcast on Youtube. It’s super raw and unpolished, but I kind of love it.
