It seems like most of the really successful Youtubers saw results much quicker than 1 year, no? That seems like an awfully long time to wait around hoping something good will happen. The problem with advising them to wait that long (even if it is ultimately good advice) is that too many Youtubers don't realize quick enough (or ever) that their content is simply not good enough and will end up killing a year of their life. In my opinion this is one of the underrated top reasons that some guys never succeed. You absolutely have to realize when your content/idea isn't as good as you think it is so you can abandon the channel/idea altogether and start something new. I hear guys talking about how they have been working at their channel for 3 years and have less than 10k views (or less than 1k sometimes even) and I just wonder what they're thinking.

1 year is too long so how about 6 months?

I never actually took this into really serious consideration before, it's very easy to become focused on that subscriber number when views are also of equal importance if not greater. Fuarkkkkkkk, mind sort of blown.
