Hey man, this is great!!

One thing I always tend to do is compare myself with someone that is much bigger than me, doing so always brings my mood down.

I try to get involved with the community especially on YouTube a lot but somehow it still seems like a lot of people don't care lol, this has never been the case with YTtalk though.

Hello Everyone!

I started youtube 2 years ago, dreamed about being a big star one day, which I guess everyone wishes to be as well and I posted quite a while ago trying to help others in this forum with motivation which actually helped! I had a break from making YouTube videos for about 5 months until July when I had a struck of courage and start doing what I most enjoyed doing, making YouTube videos and start communicating with my viewers. Having a break did not help at all view wise, I went from hitting at least 3 figures to now 2 on most videos but I did feel better in myself and I realised it isn't bad to switch what kind of video type you produce for the better. I will eventually grow my subscribers in the right direction than before because I went from scripted videos to lifestyle videos so I want to point out to some of you a few things about what I have learnt whilst I had a break.

1) Change your video style once in a while, you may realise that you actually create a bigger group of subscribers by making gaming videos rather than challenge videos. You may be better at react videos than gardening videos, experiment.

2) Prior to the first one, change up your editing technique. Learn new skills with your editing program, this can enhance quality which will eventually provide a better video for your audience. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, spend time and effort on your content and this includes thumbnails.

3) Believe in yourself, we all can go down a slippery slope and I may actually re-read this post to give myself a confident boost in a few months time but always try and plan ahead, work hard and try to bring something fun in your videos!

4) Stop comparing yourself to big YouTube stars, you as an individual are in the YouTube game. No one wants to watch a want-to-be PewDiePie or Zoella, show something different in your videos and show your determination.

5) Lastly, include yourself with others! Jump on the community boards, reply to comments, involve yourself with friends if they have their own channel.

So there you go, a little motivation post to boost your confidence. Feel free to message me and of course I will leave a link to my channel on YouTube if anyone is interested!

Thank you for reading,
Ashbee

Wonderful post AND wonderful advice!! I know we haven't spoken before, but I'm proud that you've come to these conclusions! Comparing yourself to others is something we do on a daily! In our work life, home life, or school life...it's always happening! It's a hard thing to break to, but it is definitely something that will KILL your motivation on Youtube! Just be yourself and have fun with what you make! If you do the subs and views will come

Great advice thank you and I'm sure even seasoned youtubers could do with a change now and then.

Another hobby of mine is writing, and a great way to overcome writer's block is to change many things. Write somewhere else, at a different time, start a different chapter /book, etc.

Very similar! Thank you

I think gathering and chatting with friends who share the same vision is one good way to motivate you to work better. maybe one in this forum, here we feel as friends who have the same vision that is youtuber, so we have to help each other and give support to the others.
