I sub'd because i'd like to see you make it. I think the challenge you're facing is you are only 2 years on YT and you're making "How to" or "Expert" videos without earning much subs.. You need more subs faster than 2.4K in 2 years to appear to have real credibility.

The only way to win the game, is actually to quit it forever, and never come back. I mean, KZitem is like a hot stove, or a quick sand trap. You're not going to win that fight by tangling it up even more. No, to win against a quick sand trap or a hot stove burner... is to say, you know what, I'm done with you, bye!

Thanks for the reminder as to why I need to spend a lot less time here. KZitem also gives us reasons to hate this platform, such as removing my videos due to some truth-telling about covid and them threatening to take down my channel. So nowadays I spend no time at all on any other social media platform and less time here. Good for the soul. It's off I go, outside for the rest of the day to get actual stuff done.

@AshleySpeaks4U yes! I filed numerous reports AND hounded them on X. Long story short, KZitem likes to talk about zero tolerance for doxxing and bullying, but the truth is they don't care. The content creator I'm talking about is incredibly nasty and toxic, as well as lying about "having to move" so she can continue to get donations. She's a liar because she even said on a stream that any actions against her by animal control have been suspended. I'm just hoping that eventually she'll move on to harassing someone else.

Thanks for sharing! It’s a tough one. But gaining over 300 subs in 30 days is awesome!! Celebrate every milestone because we tend to focus on the negative (I was guilty of this in the beginning.) KZitem isn’t constant so getting low views & new subs in the beginning isn’t the same over time, the more you grow, the more your subs and views go up 📈 Always try to improve and step into the success mindset from day 1… you got this…

Great advice! We have been doing KZitem for 4 years now. I think that I thought in the beginning that it wouldn’t take very long to make decent money on here, but it takes a very long time to grow. Ultimately, 1) you shouldn’t do KZitem unless you truly enjoy creating and you would be happy with creating even if you never got views or money. 2) you should develop a balanced schedule that incorporates video creation into your life at a sustainable pace.

This is me right now John, two years of YT, 250+ videos, and after each one an angry and frustrating weekend of statistic watching - wondering what I’ve done wrong this time. A very loyal core of fans kept me going too long. I’ve been on a break from YT since June and life feels so much less stressful. I wonder how many creators end up in this emotional cul de sac, I’m sure some end up on anti depressants or even worse. I’m glad you found your reason to carry on, but the difficulties of separating YT frustration from real life should justify a government health warning.

That can be a very brutal reality for us who create content/videos online. We tend to think our worth is based on clicks, likes, subs, or any potential donation. Our very identity can hide behind the silly numbers. We put soooo much effort, we avoid social life, fun, and hobbies - heck, even rest - to constantly create content, make it better, please the audience, get great guests, read, research, investigate, explore, just to see that the number of clicks can be humiliating. We then tend to think what is wrong with people - aren't they appreciative and don't they know how much material you bought and invested in, you also "chewed" and served them on a plate but they don't care? Yup, it's true. If I didn't love what I do and consider it as part of my mission, I am not even sure I would start a YT channel at all.

I was for the past couple of years doing 2 long form videos per week. It did help for sometime grow my channel, but I was also editing all the time! My parents have had serious health issues the past couple of months, and I just couldn't keep the same schedule of editing but also getting out in the field to record content. Spending time with them became a priority as I don't know how much time I will have remaining with them. They also live 3.5 hours from me. I've been down to one video per week with a mingling of a short video or 2 per week. I'm doing ok, but personally I'm doing much better. I enjoy creating and I'm constantly trying to edit and be better at my content. I'm enjoying life more and enjoying creating. I'm enjoying your content and this is a great video! Great points 😊

At 0:46 I was already crying. The pain is so real right there. 1:43 here it's explains why I'm keeping on. 2:42 I don't think I'm Obsessed or ever was. I think somehow Obsessed or not, somehow seeing the tinnest result is encouraging. 4:07 does anyone realise just how true this is?? 5:46 I just sometimes wonder how many other small youtubers really hit the milestones quickly. Sometimes I think not everyone has gone through the roller coasters. 8:12 I tend to think this is where the real work is. I really think this has to be the hardest. 9:25 the thing is I'm trying to split my time between depression and videos. Which is literally a disadvantage to my family. But av recently come across this saying "surviving is winning". I'm using this to feel better lately. 11:39 I should adopt this actually. It happened this week accidentally and I think it could probably help me now that you've said it. 13:08 I wonder if I really care if it blows. But then sometimes I feel like I low-key care😂. 14:31 I love this! 14:47 good luck to you and all of us trying❤

Great analysis, you have excellent advice here. I would also add that quality audio, lighting, video, and good content = are everything from Day 1... & this doesn't have to cost alot. It's definitely the long-game we have to focus on as creators. Mr Beast says your first 10 videos probably won't do well - So everyone should be looking beyond that. But you learn so much during that timeframe, and get better. Again, long-game. I like your ten year outlook. Best of luck to everyone on this journey.

I know what you mean by not being present even if you're physically there. It's like replacing my 9-5 job with one that's 24/7. It's better to treat it as a side hustle at the beginning or the financial stress will drive us crazy. And it's important that we choose something we enjoy doing. If I don't get anything financial reward in the end, at least I enjoyed the process.

I'm glad I've slowed down on doing KZitem as it was getting way too much, but only post and record gaming content whenever I get a chance, only reason I come on here is to share out a bit of knowledge about games, I don't have to be successful as I don't like sitting in front of computers for too long so I limited my screen time.

It is difficult and you need to get the balance right, once you stop enjoying it it ceases to be fun and just becomes another job. Keep it fun

I used to worry about subscriber count when I started my channel. But, I’ve decided to focus more on making good content and commentary that helps others and less on the numbers.

In order to cut down on the time I spend on KZitem, I subscribe mainly to channels that I really want to learn but only post once a week or less. The less they post, the more I am likely to subscribe. Nowadays I also search for the specific video on the technique that I want to learn and go from there. As an Illustrator and professional Musician, KZitem has opened a huge gateway of information to help me improve at what I do that would have otherwise cost me hundreds of dollars per month to hire a professional coach. Now I create illustration speedpaint to document my own growth as an illustrator and to enjoy my journey of growth.

That's a great way to use KZitem, rather than just watching rubbish that's helping no one. Use it to help your creativity with music

Man.. great video! its a marathon and no shortcuts will help in the long run.. people buy subs to make their stats look bloated sometimes but it's all hollow vanity, nothin more. It's a tricky ecosystem though, with people trying to take others down as well.. recently ive been dealing with a bot attack on my channel..tried contacting youtube, posted a video about it etc.. but nothin helped. Hope they do more to help content creators 🙏

just think about this, just for one moment - and please take your time and be honest to yourself: do you really do what you do on yt because you love new gadget and because you're a tech nerd, or is it because you - deep down - do not really like the path your on and you truly looking for something more thrilling and more adventurous than the day to day life.

People may watch because of great content. I grew up speaking in English, many of my friends did not. When some of them watch with me, sometimes, especially if the persons accent is too heavy based on the creators culture, my friends just don’t wanna watch anymore. Shallow, I know, yet it happens.
