You should start a YouTube channel (even if nobody watches)

How about no? How about I refuse to be a clown for an audience I'll never meet to make some billionaire rich for a pittance in exchange?
My likeness, my voice, my life, my passion - all will be given away to become an easily replaceable part of a huge entertainment/edutainment platform.
No. No.

I'm also a very new creator but it's interesting even to get likes🎉

I launched last year after escaping an abusive relationship: it flopped as I promoted it, mainly music, but now after one year I have added alot more videos of what I love - creatives post 40s - speaking with people all over the world - not moneteized but I LOVE youtube for helping me, at 50+ find my tribe, my peeps - lots of life in the old dog yet 🤯🤯 we need these creative hubs.

I started this year but the subscribers is really discouraging. People watch but don't subscribe

I am getting discouraged daily.spending money making African stories.People watch but don't subscribe really discourages me.
I pray to find my feet someday

I actually just started youtube to document my journey of going back to school in my 40s. Thanks for the encouragement in this video.

im jus using youtube to document my life and thoughts as im transitioning and transforming into someone different, kind of like a memory/storage base i can look at for years to come, yes people can watch and learn from me along the way, then i can look back at my art and just be so proud i actually did something different

Started my YouTube channel a month ago... appreciate your thoughts🙏

Only been at it for a few weeks. No subs and few views. But still at it.

I started this channel a week ago and going to vlog my life as a 53 year old who is stuck in the rental trap trying to get enough savings to retire at 60. Aussie male vlogger is difficult in this country but I will give it a go

Thanks dude, you inspired me to just start my channel and start uploading. I am building a SAAS that tracks the trade of the US politicians. Pretty fun project!

Just taking the first few baby steps on youtube. Just started a new channel about being diagnosed with ADHD at 59. First filming next week. Fingers 🤞

For many years, I was afraid of speaking in front of the camera, afraid of speaking in front of a crowd, even in my native language, and what made me most insecure was English. After watching this video, you gave me a lot of motivation to start making YouTube videos, which can help me improve my English and my confidence.

I'm going to start shooting a video this week and I'm committed to doing it for months, even if nobody watches it.

I recently started making videos, also just to find like minded people. Making one choice at a time. One day at a time.
Thanks for the video.

I started my channel a few days ago and I only have a few followers, but I'm grateful and happy to be here. May God bless everyone here. May we be able to produce good content and have many followers. 🙌🏻🙏🏼

1 year late but I found this video…. I can’t wait to find my people

started my channel last week.
it’s a Malayalam Language Self development channel.

posted first video yesterday 😁

"You can find your people." 👍🙏 This will remind me not to give up. 😄

Very encouraging. Do you have a course on building a YouTube channel?

I wanted to start and searched for the topic, found your video and it made a connection. Thanks

Thanks, Gabe!

i would love to connect with others like me but maybe im just alone in the world and the odd ball

Is youtube low edit style content becoming the best way to grow your content or is it better to edit? Love your channel btw

Started two weeks ago 🍀. I will come back here after 6 months 😇🤞

Started this YouTube channel a week ago , is 14 March 2025 like this to come back and tell you when i get monetized!

It's hard to not give up. After so many years I thought I would have at least 1k subs

❤

I have security concerns with Youtubing. Have you had problems with stalkers using your content to harass you? How do you prevent and deal with threats?

Its because of you and your reassuring words that why we start (and keep on doing) of something we could be proud of❤❤❤ 207 subscribers and counting😘

The most important thing is to find joy in what you do, which is what I wish for myself and all of you. ❤

Just wanted to say thank you

I have uploaded on YouTube for a while, "only" 150 subscribers.
But to he fair my content isn't really consistent neither is my upload schedule lol

Great video

God bless you

7:00 I definitely agree there is a trend that is building on being real and authentic. It seems that Ai is pushing this pendulum swing. The more fake voices and recordings, the more authenticity will be wanted.

this is awesome! been watching your videos for years and always appreciate your content!

Started my channel thank you for all the advice! Love the content

Enjoyed the video ! Thanks.

One of the main reasons I started one was to leave video memories and to learn and keep my mind young. I love photography, my Mom was a writer so I live that too, there are so many interests I have that I hate to pick a niche. I am retired now so whatever I do maybe I can tie it to retirement.

I made one vlog and its shit, I need someone to edit it

Thank you for sharing, Gabe! I just started my channel. Good luck to everyone thinking about starting or already started ❤

Gabe, because this video, I was encouraged to start my YouTube channel almost a year ago. I have 3k subs and climbing. Keep making impact

Cheers
