This is coming from someone who comments maybe 4 times a year. I hope you achieve your goals and find success on your channel, keep your head up and don’t stop the consistency!

[@grobbymuleya]

Means a lot man, thank you for the encouragement. That’s the plan, gotta keep consistent and keep going 🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@Veeja3]

As a fellow KZbinr, i can honestly relate with what you said. It pointless chasing views. Just focus on your content. And learning to detach from your content no matter what and moving to the next is key. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@grobbymuleya]

Most definitely, nothing wrong with doing a trendy video here and there but it’s best to focus more on improving your videos each day rather than always trying to make the trendiest viral video. Wishing you much success with your channel 🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@andrewn211]

Your channel is going to pop off soon.. I'm calling it

[@grobbymuleya]

🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@MommaKong7]

I have been having a hard time with comparing myself, overthinking, and not being consistent because I'm in my head. I think you learn as you grow, and I'm going to challenge myself to post one video a week and not overthink it. Thank you for this video ❤

[@grobbymuleya]

Hey you’re welcome, glad to hear my video gave you some inspiration. And Yes! I felt the same last year with comparing myself to others and having imposter syndrome. Which is why I didn’t upload much. Just have fun and enjoy the journey. I’m rooting for you 🙌🏾

[@jsharick7]

Subbed to watch this channel explode.

[@grobbymuleya]

Thanks for subscribing man 🙏🏾

[@AlexHogue]

I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. As a video professional for 10+ years (and running my own studio for the last 3 1/2 years) - i'm considering launching a YT to help teach, share, inspire my journey in my career of being a content creator for some of the worlds most recognized brands. But to be honest, i'm researching ideas and ways to make it as whole hearted and authentinc no BS as I can. Thats why I like this video. It's funny bc thats not whats getting the love from the algorithm, but that doens't mean it's not valuable good content. I think a shift is coming. We're all sick of the copy-cats. I'm hoping to share my own insights on that. I stumbled upon this video and wanted to show some support. This video is well done, and clear a considerable amount of time went into it. Hope to run into you in the creative world someday. Cheers bud

[@grobbymuleya]

Hey thanks man, definitely a change is coming and people are starting to appreciate and enjoy more candid/authentic videos on YT. All I can say is you definitely have a lot of value to offer and a wealth of knowledge to share so I’m 100% positive you I’ll do well on this platform. Thanks again for the positive words and insight, definitely I’m sure our paths will cross for sure someday. Take care man 🙏🏾🙌🏾💪🏾

[@Here-Nor-There]

[@grobbymuleya]

Thanks man, appriciate the support brother. Yes sir! planning on taking things to the next level this year 🙌💪

I almost never comment on KZbin. Man, I like you from the first video. I like your honesty and your positivity. I wish you all the best. Keep going ❤️

[@grobbymuleya]

I appreciate that man, glad to hear you’re liking the work I’m putting out. Thank you brother 🙏🏾

[@krazyproduction875]

I reconciled with the seeing what other creators are doing and it will drive you crazy!

[@grobbymuleya]

Yeah it’s best to focus on what you are doing and not focusing on others for sure 👍🏾

[@RyanGreen]

Hey man, just found you yesterday and been watching a couple of your videos: really resonating with it and enjoying what you put out! Good advice in this one fore sure. Keep posting!

[@grobbymuleya]

Welcome aboard, glad to see you’re enjoying the channel man. More to come for sure man 🙏🏾💪🏾

[@mariamtraoree]

just joined the KZbin community recently, I love the transparency in putting meaning behind your work. I hope you flourish!

[@grobbymuleya]

Thank you 🙏🏾, glad you got some value out of the video. Keeping going and just focus on making each video better than the last one. Hope you flourish as well.

[@Ms11edits]

Holly crap bro how do you have less than 200 subscribers? You are sooo underrated 👍

[@grobbymuleya]

Thanks man, I gotta be more consistent with it. Appreciate the support brother and thanks for watching 🙏🏾

[@EritsStudio]

It really is hard to grow now a days 😅 I feel like everyone is so damn talented and it’s hard to stand out. But something I always tell myself is numbers don’t define me and my channel. You are doing amazing! Keep going ❤

[@grobbymuleya]

Thank you 🙏🏾🙂, yes you’re definitely right. There’s a lot of talented people but that’s a drop in the bracket to how many people are watching KZbin. I thinks it’s like 900 Billion people watching KZbin (2.5 Billion monthly users) compared to 38 million active channels. So theres definitely an audience for you out there, just gotta keep creating and enjoying what you 💜

[@LegalMikel]

I myself have been doing KZbin for a year now and I'm in the same boat of growing small I'm barely at 375 subscribers and have had people post comments like "I'm underrated" but I'm still sub 1k subscribers. Its hard to escape the 1k subscribers hell hole assuming you don't pay for promotions or buy subscribers or make a bunch of shorts (with a certain template) I have found it very tedious to convince people to click the subscribe button. Of course that is a part of the grind. Wish you the best great title btw it captured my attention because I can relate to it on a personal level.

[@grobbymuleya]

I hear you man, it’s not an easy game but through experimenting and doing a little research I’ve slowly started figuring out what works for my channel. Just gotta stay focused and keep grinding man💪🏾🙌🏾

[@VanHoutenMC]

Definitely keep up that consistency and work ethic. Coming from a KZbin strategist, that is the most important and fundamental aspects of content creation. KZbin rewards people who consistently put good content on their platform.

[@grobbymuleya]

Thank you 🙏🏾, appreciate your words/insight. I’ve definitely noticed I’ve recently been getting more traction because I’m uploading more videos.

[@VanHoutenMC]

@@grobbymuleya That’s awesome! I look forward to watching your future creations :)

[@asamivisuals]

I totally get you, im uploading my first video tomorrow and honestly what ive learnt from watching many other youtubers grow is that you shouldn't chase views. Just be authentic and upload your content consistently and everything else will fall into place❤ Definitely subscribing to you

[@grobbymuleya]

That’s it, just gotta go for it and learn as you go. Appreciate the sub and subscribed to your channel as well. Looking forward to seeing your first video 🙌🏾.

[@saidparedes]

Yo my man all you said is very true! I also starting on YT and some of the point you made are so true! Great video!!

[@grobbymuleya]

Thanks brother 🙏🏾, glad you liked the video and got some good points out of it. I wish you good luck with your channel, you’re definitely doing better than I did when I started 🙌🏾💪🏾

[@Unscripted_Vibe]

wawww , thanks for sharing your thoughts with us , for me when i just took it easy on youtube i started to see growth , what i mean with took it easy ( i talk about whatever i feel like , i should with different cameras so if i feel like using action cam i just use it , if i feel like using pro cam i just use it , sometimes i should cinematic videos , sometimes vlogs , sometimes just sit and talk ...) i stoped been strict with my content , and i went 1000000% being natural not formal . when ı changed all that i started to see growth . im sure you gonna grow fast soon , coz your content is really good .

[@grobbymuleya]

Oh man, don’t know how I missed this comment but hey appreciate everything you just said man. Definitely agree with you that a lot of us creators get caught up in overthinking the process. Just gotta be genuine, authentic and upload valuable content. Thank you for your kind words and also love the content on your channel man. You’re doing great work brother 🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@catiadias8561]

i rarely comment on any videos I watch.... but, I really had to say this: keep it up! I just discovered your videos, and I have actually started my youtube channel lika 2 months ago, and it can get SOOOOOO frustrating, and always thinking if I should actually be doing this.... But your videos are very uplifting in that way, talking about the process of it, on a very "no BS" way! thank you for that!!! And I truly wish you the most success!!! I hope to also reach the same in a few months....wishing... =)

[@grobbymuleya]

Hey! thank you very much, means a lot and I’m glad that my video can be uplifting and inspiring. I’ve had my fair share of frustrations when I first started KZbin last year but it takes time. Just have to be patient and trust the process. Wishing you much success on your KZbin journey as well 🙂

Hello man, you have a very good level of creating videos for KZbin! I would advise you to listen to MrBeast’s experience in creating hype videos on KZbin. Try to make a video on a topic that is popular at the moment, use those hype tricks and you should succeed over time, there is no other way out! I wish you patience and strength!

[@grobbymuleya]
