is it TOO late to Hit the BIG TIME

I always sit there and think back to the day back in 2007 when I almost bought all the gear to start a gaming channel,but I didn't because I thought people would think it was a silly idea and immature(im 28)
Now after recently starting a channel I think of what I would probably have now in terms of subscriber count.Just imagine 5 years on I would expect to be over 100k plus.
is it too late now in 2013 to ever be as successful as the people whoi started back in the "DAY".
I think it probably is to be honest.your thoughts?

I don't think it's about lateness as much as it is originality. The kids who start gaming channels that get 2 or 3 views per video would probably say "It's difficult to get noticed", but their videos are usually 13 minutes long and it's something everyone has seen before.

The only thing getting noticed takes in the gaming world is imagination. As ThioJoe said, if it's just 13 minutes of you playing a game then nobody is going to click on it because it's not new.
 
It's never too late, just keep trying your best, that's the most anyone could ask for

honest thoughts. its never to late, if you dont start now then when? if you postpone it then the next? so why not now rather than next time :) start as soon as possible, so yeah no its never to late to hit the big goal
 
If your content is good and you have enough passion anything is possible. Yeah it would be considered an advantage starting back then but you can still make it big. Example, a friend of mine has been going 5 years, he has only just reached 2k subs, the problem he had was the quality of his content and he'll be the first to admit that. On the flip side someone I regularly follow called LevelCap has been going 9 months and he is around 80k subs.

Agreed for definite, the wise man speaks the truth.
 
I think it's just dependent on what you're bringing to the table. No one can predict what will be big. I mean in just two months I've been able to reach over 300 subscribers with a gaming channel (but I did a ton of advertising). I think it's possible, just keep doing what you enjoy.

Yeah advertising is the best way you need to put effort into making the videos but you cant just skip the boring part
 
Don't worry about other people man, it's like a mental cancer to your thought process. There is NO ONE on this earth who is like you. We're all unique, and as long as you've got that going for you, you have a chance at succeeding in creating a gaming channel.

Btw, if you take action, the way you are thinking now could be used to work wonders. "Well, what if I started this channel 3 years ago. Where would I have been now?". Use that to motivate you to work for TODAY.

Don't worry about the other gamer channels either. As the saying goes "Nothing is original". It's true, really, someone has had your idea, or thought like yours before... but the real question is- did they carry it out? Or ontop of that, did they execute it as well as you would of?

The thing you need to break past is fear! A lot of people are simply afraid to begin because they see all of these other gamer channels.

You know the secret to getting by? Working harder than everyone else, and staying consistent. NOT giving up, and NOT caring what anyone thinks.

Whatever you do, start today and don't look back. When people read all the motivational books and know the quotes by heart yet have nothing to show for it, they call it "action paralysis". Basically- You're thinking too much about starting, how things will work out. You're doing everything BUT DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!

Send me a message if you need any help. Maybe we could collaborate or something. As you guys can tell, I'm kind of addicted to helping people, or giving any advice that I can offer. If you're feeling unsure of yourself or nervous, I can f*****g fix dat s**t no problem.

I don't think it's too late, just it'll be harder because in that short time that you haven't been making content, other people have set up their own channels and started making content and as we all know, there are plenty of gamers on YouTube already, but all it means is that it'll be more challenging and rewarding when you rise above them due to your unique content ^_^
 
Pewdiepie anyone? He didn't start back in the day, and look at him now :D People like to hate on him (Not saying I like his content) But I'm proud of him, he did a good job getting that many subs in that little time. Even if his videos are dumb :P
