Why YouTubers Quit Too Soon...

Last year was rough, I sold my house - moved across the country - rented a house - bought a new house - changed full time jobs, and I'm still managing my Youtube Channel! Thanks for all the support Think Media!

The 5 video tip seriously works! I launched my channel with 5 videos that all looped and created a binge session. I was able to create a ton of momentum my first week that I don't think I would have been able to otherwise. By committing to 5 videos, I also made sure I was invested in this channel before I even pushed publish.

Dude this made me want to cry for some reason. I'm on my personal account right now, but I have an account that's growing but I've just felt very discouraged and this absolutely relit something in me. You 100% earned my subscription and made me re-evaluate how I'm going to plan my content and reminded me that I'm here to serve, not sell. Sincerely, thank you.

I've never understood why making a living, making money to take care of yourself and your family is treated secondarily. Serving is lovely of course, but if u can't make a living how much serving can u do for free? Why is making a good living considered selfish? or secondary? I find it a noble cause.

This was so great! I love making videos, but I’m already nervous about getting burnt out! The line of “YouTube needs you cause nobody can make the videos you make”, that was so good!

I really like the style of this video. No backround music. Just straight to the point. Felt like Im talking to you thru Zoom :)

Your last point got me teary eyed. I was ready to give up but you encouraged me to keep recording and keep GOING to get my message out there. THANK YOU!

This video came at such a much needed time! Thank you so much for making this video. I am truly taking notice of it and implementing your advice into my own Youtube journey. 🙏🏾

These are great advice, actually. Very very solid, unique and up to date. Thank you so much. My mistake is rushing my channel because I wanted money fast (I got a job now). But recently thanks to the experience from my job (marketing, social media, admin work) , my YouTube plan is finally starting to come together. Figuring out the brand, niche, content, the branching out, making a plan and giving it a mission and one line purpose. I feel optimistic and scared.

I really love the content that Think Media puts out...all of the staff are so cool and generous with their info. I'm still a newbie but after watching Omar I think it has finally kicked in not to give up. Thanks to all the guys at Think Media.

THANK YOU FOR THIS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! I’m in the process of starting my channel on YouTube. I’ve been learning and soaking up opinions about editing programs and I am putting overtime in at work to buy a computer, camera, mics, lighting equipment and other needs. I’m trying to keep to the basics for my tight budget. I keep an ever increasing thought journal with me where ever I go. I don’t care what I’m doing, I will stop and write down what comes to me whenever it comes to me. I’ve been planning for a couple months and I am determined to do this, for my legacy. I agreed with all the steps you came up with and I am honestly already on board and doing what you said. THE PART THAT STOPPED ME IN MY TRACKS WAS, #7! When you said “there’s nobody else that can make the videos your supposed to create bc your supposed to create them.” It gave me goosebumps as if thru the magic of the universe it was created just for me at just the right time in my life and development of my channel. So again, thank you. I subscribed, liked and will be taking a dive into your content.

I started youtube 2 months ago and love it. This is very good information and has actually helped me and opened my eyes to a better purpose as a content creator. Thank you!

Some great points here, thanks. Particularly being a student of YouTube.....I constantly consider how and why videos that I watch are drawing my attention, as well as what keeps my interest in a video.

"We often overestimate what we can do in a day and underestimate what we can do in 5 years." I AM STEALING THAT ONE FROM YOU, OMAR. I can apply it to my own content (similar to what you did with the fashion video). THANKS! 😀👍

I haven't actually started but you've given me a LOT to think about! I struggle with #4 because I have a few different things Id like to help people with. It all boils down to 'advocacy' I guess...for people, butterflies and dogs, but also gardening, food processing, crafts and home stuff. Back to the drawing board! 😄 Thank you and I hope you have an amazing day! 🦋

I'm a year late to this video, but your content is timeless and spoken from the heart. I loved the reminder that we are here to serve and have content meant for us to share. Thank you, Omar

Good content, thank you for sharing these tips! I just started my YouTube channel and definitely agree that it is always better to start with more than one video so you don’t feel as much pressure to record.

Love the idea for a channel trailer I've not done that yet!! "Serve and not Sell" LOVE that!!

Thank you so much for this video. I guess YouTube knew I needed to see this. I've started up my channels again after 5 years and this time I'm sticking with it. Thank you again.❤️

Really liked your authenticity here man! Nice slow delivery (in a good way). My 'why' is to share new parenting tips. My 'who' is every new Dad (or Mum) that is feeling overwhelmed with parenthood.
