Hey there. I hope my post is right in this sub-category.
I started investing in the stock market many years ago. It was always kind of a passion for me. 2011 or something i started a personal finance blog with medium success. I wrote about saving, investing and so on. I stopped writing quite some time ago and switched to YouTube. I started a channel about stock investing (niching down...) also with a little success. I got about 2k subs but i stopped making videos a few times just to come back a few month later to stop again. Why am i doing this?
I feel trapped in this niche. The financial niche is one of the best niches to make a lot of money. But i always wanted to "teach" how to invest. I dont want to be the "leader" (taking the responsibility) who says: "buy this stock or buy that stock". This videos are very sucessful on other youtube channels even though they are 95% BS. I notice that my explanation videos dont get much traction. When i get a little bit broader i get way more views. I feel like the market for people that really want to learn investing is extremly small. Most of them are looking for a shortcut or hust someone to copy. So with this mindset i only see affiliate-marketing for (good) brokerage companies or maybe courses as business model. But as i said. I feel the market is pretty crowded and i dont have a chance to make enough money (even though my channel is not in english).
Is that real or a mindset-problem?
I think about pivoting if not starting over completly.
