Little Subscribers. How to stay motivated?

You just gotta remember that... Everybody starts at 0, even those big YouTubers you see today, they once felt how you feel right now (well most of them at least).. It's a grind alright but if they can do it, so can you :)

2 things:

1) Gratitude. Do you realize how tremendous it is to even have ONE person care about your videos? That's nuts! That's a whole human being that thinks "this person makes good content". I think that's something we forget because we compare ourselves to the people with millions of subs

2) Love making content first, growth second. If you enjoy making vids, even if growth is slow, you still win because you had fun doing it.

Hope that helps!

Great post. I totally agree, couldn't have said it better. You are right, the fact that anyone is even watching your video is amazing, I never thought of that. Every once in a while a comment comes in too!
 
This topic is very helpful for me, haha. I do have 105 subs but most of them are just friends and family and I guess that just feels different? It's hard for me to make videos sometimes and then seeing the viewcounter barely go up is just so blahhh!
I enjoy making them though so I'll just get my energy from that, haha. :) I'm glad I got back into making videos, I really kind of missed it while on my 6 year hiatus.
 
Growth is slow when you first start, but that's what separates the winners from the quitters.

Things have a tendency to snowball, you just have to gain the momentum :)

Quite honestly it's something that I think everyone feels. I know I still feel it from time to time. One thing that I also do to keep my motivation up is to remind myself of this:

When I'm 90 years old and looking back on my life, I don't want to have the regret that "oh I wish I had given my YouTube channel more effort". On the flip side, if I do give YT my 100% effort and I DON'T make it big, I'd like to have the thought at 90 years old that "man at least I gave it my all, I have no regrets"

This!

You need to think within the long term. Never the short term. It's rare someone has millions within a year or 2. It takes dedication. And you don't want to look back and regret it!
