    I agree with this a ton, which is why I'm going to stick with YouTube and my eCommerce brand for the next 5-10 years and see how it all plays out. I didn't even know about these people, thats interesting though. One person I definitely enjoy is Gerbert Johnson his personality is just funny to...

    Its been a while, almost forgot about this forum A lot has changed and I'm finally seeing some success on YouTube (7k+ long-form views past few weeks) but I'll give a quick update first. After I graduated from HS (end of the series), I took a break for like 6 months where I just had fun with...

    WE FINISHED. It's been amazing to post on here plus get tons of amazing feedback from all of yall but We're only at the start. I'm gonna spend some time to hone myself in order to be someone that is more inspiring. Also, I'm probably gonna change the format of the videos entirely. I'll be...

    I got some good ideas for the future of the channel, but I need to get over the edge. The moment the next series starts, I need to be locked in. I can't keep making mistakes. So I'm gonna focus on just locking fully and consistently before starting the next series which shouldn't take too...

    Deleted all the social media apps from my phone which helped a lot. Gonna use my old iPad to upload shorts. Made a bad mistake for my sleep, but it won't happen again cause I rarely get that invested in a story (I read all day). Its whatever, I'm living life happy rn and I got a decent bit...

    Going back to the momentum. Slept on time, removed some distractions Still not satisfied, but I'll be shortly. I've decided to use pressure washing as a tool to get as much capital as possible in these two months. I'm just gonna use the capital to start a product-based business and use...

    Definitely got lazy. The mistake I made is that I prioritized brief, social connection over my sleep. Also, I started overthinking again. The solution is to just create a very strict, unbroken rule that my sleep is the number one priority and also prioritize my goals for now. Also, I just need...

    You'll narrow it down as you post more videos I'd say but if your goal is to help people on YouTube, you yourself kind of need to figure what type of audience you want to serve and how. It doesn't need to be specific right now, but you should be aware of a broad description of who it could be...

    Sorry yall I missed to post since it was graduation day. BUT I FINALLY GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL. Plus I got a weird surge of views for graduation which is interesting since it has nothing to do with the goal. Anyways, I made a big mistake by celebrating too much since I broke my momentum. Right...

    Just did the job and edited the video. Getting a bit lazy again lowkey, just consuming YouTube when I shouldn't. Could hardly get out of bed today but I did SLEEP EARLY LETS GO. Anyways, I'm just gonna do some cold showers since it helps my mind take control over my body. The main problems is...

    Glad to see another person interested in YouTube lol. I wouldn't say I'm doing well, but I'm definitely committed to it. I think the main piece of advice is that you need to actually enjoy making videos or just have a higher purpose than just making money. YouTube takes a long time (>2 years)...

    I'm getting used to being obsessed and constantly just thinking about the next step. Don't know if I should've relaxed as much as should've yesterday, but it helped kill the overthinking I was experiencing. I don't think I needed it to be honest so I probably should've worked more. The only...

    Almost forgot to post on here, but I FINALLY HIT THE GOAL TODAY. The video is coming up today and I didn't even notice I hit it until I edited the video, but IM SO HAPPY I HIT IT. I've always struggled with insecurity and believing if I could actually do the work and become successful, but I...

    Did another job and got $300. Took longer than I thought, but I still got $60 an hour which is good. Overall, I'm thinking about how to elevate my content further. I think I just need to film more and make it more personal/entertaining. One big thing is my target audience since I'm debating...

    I closed $900 worth of deals Yesterday, $750 in person and $150 over text which is CRAZY. It feels like a cheat code, and six figures now seems pretty possible to me. I only did like 2 hours of door to door as well. Just spread out the work over 3 days. Pretty much just finished the challenge...

    Got $450! Biggest amount yet, and she even told me to CHARGE HIGHER next time. I still got like $90/hour, but she told me I should've charged $500 which is hilarious. The home service care business is crazy with these numbers. Overall, an amazing day. High School is finally over and I have 2...

    Got $250 yesterday. The dude was really chill and I finished the job in 2.5 hours so around $100 per hour. Overall good day again. I want to focus more on trying to make the audience feel a certain emotion, so I need to get better at storytelling instead of just telling. I think this can...

    Really good day yesterday. Closed 2 sales for $650 total which is INSANE for me. It only took like 2 hours as well of door-to-door. I just pushed through the tiredness and still went out to do it anyways. I also think I'm getting better and better at door-to-door since I'm getting less and...

    Back to regular days, worked for like 3 hours on the business, studying YouTube, and trying to find more sources for leads. I also have a huge problem where I can't sign up for most services like Thumbtack, Home Advisor, and Google Local Ads since I'm not 18 and they do a background check on...

    Took a different approach to this video. Definitely improved in aspects of storytelling/cinematography. It wasn't good for retention, but I got to get better at cinematography and other different style shots. Overall pretty satisfied with the video and didn't stress too much about not doing...
