Hey!

I thought it would be cool to discuss some problems YouTubers have when starting their career out there.

What were/are yours WORST problems as a YouTuber? How did you struggle with them? Have you solved them? :D

Let's start with me!

Here's an endless list of problems I had with my YouTube career -
1) uncertainty of genre - I didn't know what certainly I was going to make vids about,
2) editing software - I don't have a personal PC so I had to make vids using KineMaster for some time until.. ok nvm, I use Adobe PP now:D - also, many programs just were making me RAGE and want to kill everyone!,
3) uncertainty of segment - for a long time I was questioning: English or Russian (native as for me - I live in Belarus) YouTube? - I also can't pronounce the Russian 'R' well so finally I'm here xD,
4) my Photoshop skills - had to improve them, luckily it wasn't that hard,
5) appearance doubts - we all know we look okay, but everybody probably judges themselves very unsparingly even when they're top models,
6) sound quality - I didn't feel good about recording on the phone until I got a studio microphone, and even now I am worried about the noise even when it can only be heared by cats or what animals hear well?,
7) the strategy - that side of YouTube was not fully clear for me until I read the book 'How To Build Your YouTube Audience' by Tim Schmoyer,
8) video quality - the only thing that still makes me upset and stops from creating - I don't think that my phone's video quality (the claimed 720p) is cool enough nor I don't own a camera yet - I think I won't describe all the problems with it, at least you got what it's all about [emoji14] - asking your friends, not having it constantly with you, collecting money to buy your own and so on

So what was the hardest nut to break for you? :D Share it below!

My f*****g computer keeps leaking so I've been unable to start making videos properly because it keeps going back to the shop haha but come Thursday I should have a brand new rebuild back.
 
Light, light, light! I am so terrible at lighting my videos well. I have two umbrella lights, because my apartment gets NO light throughout the day, and the only windows that have any light are in places where you can't sit in front of them to film. So I'm always unhappy with my video quality due to that.

I'm also really trying to green screen well, but you need a certain amount of distance between the subject and the screen in order for the illusion to work, and our apartment is teeny tiny, so that never works quite the way I imagine it.
 
SO many obstacles that I've come across the past year since I've started my channel.

Sure, there's running around the house, filming from different angles and opening up every window to try and get the best lighting imaginable. Can't forget rerecording a video because the audio wasn't perfect the first time. Finding new music is probably the biggest issue I have. Not so much the music itself, but knowing where to find it.
 
My biggest issue is finding time to film around my kids and full time job. Luckily enough I can film on weekends but I am still trying to find the balance between keeping up with my channel and having time for my family.
 
The fact I am really boring. Now if I can get round that I might have a chance.

I have over censored myself to be fair. Didn't want to offend, I say really offensive stuff that I do not mean they just make me laugh when I say them so I decided to censor myself on my videos quite a bit. I think I would have been better off bleeping or cutting out but I thought I could train myself not to have sick thoughts but I can't. I have decided going forward that I will no longer censor myself at all and leave things in that I wouldn't before. I would rather be hated for being me than bore people being someone else. That and I have been over ambitious and it worked for a bit, but now my channel has faltered a bit it has been hard to keep up with. Basically I am reinventing my channel this week. Should be fun.
 
I have a problem with my Premiere Pro because it often crashes and it deletes all my data...
I was relying on "Auto Save" but for me it doesn't work... It saves automatically every 10 mins but it actually doesn't save anything when it crashes. For me, it saves my work only when I do it manually. And for some reason I always forget to save it manually when I go to deep into the video :D :D :D
