5 HARSH Truths of Being A Sneaker Youtuber / Influencer

[@ZavieM]

Gotta show some appreciation to my favorite sneaker content creator right here! Really dug the structure of this one. As a content creator myself, there was a lot to relate to. I even learned quite a bit! Also . . . BOMB thumbnail!

Haha appreciate it bro! I know you been putting in a lot of the work with your reaction vids too - the way you edit your vids is always clever and hilarious 😆👍

Hey bro, I been doing this for a while so here's my thoughts on some of the things you said Time Consumption - Your videos shouldn't be taking 6-12 hours to produce. The way to get around this is batch filming. I will for example film all my B roll for multiple videos at once. Similarly film all on on feets at once. And then also all the talking parts together Passion into a Job - I have known this from the start which is exactly why I never chose to do content creation full time. Still keep a regular job and do YT on the side and it works for me Validation - Just focus on being yourself and being proud of the content you make. The validation will come Too many sneakers - Yea offcourse man, theres new releases every week, you don't need them all Only few succesful YTs make money - Yea its true, its really just about how hard you want to work. This is something you control I wish you success!

Oh snap What’s up Josh, I’ve definitely watched a good handful of your videos haha. I’m sure with becoming more efficient and honed down on your niche comes with a lot of practice, trial and error, and overall experience. Keep killing the vids bro, and I appreciate the insightful comment coming from a veteran in the game! 🙏

Thanks for the insight. Really interesting. I wanted to create some content at some point and having this insight is helpful. Just a quick question, you don’t have to answer as it may come across as rude, but keeping in line with the topic, with the current state of your channel, is it enough for you to make a living? Or are do you have a ‘main/primary job’ that provides you that regular stream of income? And you do your content creating on top of this? Thanks

I am currently averaging 1-2 videos a month, and making a few hundred dollars a month. I have a regular full-time job, and my KZbin revenue provides me a little extra side income. definitely not enough to rely on it full time by any means, at least not yet. I may create a transparent KZbin analytics breakdown video one of these days, possibly if I ever hit 10k subs lol. Hope this helps, and thanks for stopping by!
