Hey everyone, wanted to make a thread to help those who feel like they aren't getting enough support on their youtube journey! I went through this and it sucked, I was extremely unmotivated and stop uploading for a while.
Let me explain my situation, so I can try to help those in need!
My channel was growing steadily, views were coming in nicely, And then it started slowing down a lot, and I mean a lot. Got like 10 subscribers a month, wasn't doing as well as I wanted.
Then some personal things happened in my life, and I honestly lost all motivation for everything, including youtube. After that, I joined the US Army to fix my life. I felt fresh and rejuvenated after I completed boot camp. I started making videos again, and I started growing steadily again.
Then I got the news I was deploying to the middle east, where I'm currently at, I was excited to go, but was unsure of what would happen to my youtube. I thought it was the end of it. Well, some really awesome youtubers made videos about me quitting youtube due to the Army, and had their viewers come show their love. Needless to say I didn't quit. And because I didn't give up on myself this time, I feel even more motivated to make videos.
What I'm getting at here is simple. If you feel like you aren't getting the support you deserve, or you lost motivation, keep on keeping on. We as content creators will all go through a phase where we have trouble coming up with ideas for videos, it's normal. Just take a little break and come back fresh! If you're feeling unmotivated, take a look through your comment section and see all the wonderful comments! It helps me when I don't feel motivated to uploaded. Don't get a lot of comments? Come to this forum, you'll get more than enough support from the awesome people here!
But don't ever give up.
