9 MINS OF NO BS ADVICE FOR CONTENT CREATORS

[@ELJefeReviews]

QOTD #1 tip for new creators: Don’t let the success of others make you feel like a failure. Celebrate with them and use their success as a case study on strategies that might work for you in the near future.

[@EJTechandDIY]

100%

[@Ryan_Michelle]

Yessss🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@GamebustersUK]

Yeah I have an issue of being evious of other people's success and I just feel down about it. But I know a better attitude is to just be proud and even be inspired to create your own success, just... need to work on that.

[@CallieandJordanSquad]

@@GamebustersUK I get it honestly make friends in the community and be genuinely happy with their success cause I believe that everything turns around and it will be your turn soon.

“Done is better than perfect” needed this!

[@DavidsDoseofItaly]

He stole that quote from Sean Cannel 😄😄. But it’s all good !

[@thatgirlthatgirl6560]

@@DavidsDoseofItaly Child you think Sean Cannel INVENTED that?? - he's the father of productivity? Stop it. Gary Vee's and Mark Cuban and others have been saying this shiot before these guys too - and so has the first woman and man on earth. Geez

[@mosiarmstrong]

Yes! The pursuit of perfection has always held me back. Being a perfectionist really is a double edged sword.

[@ElisaValkyria]

One thing that has helped me a lot is watching videos like these .. following you and people like you who are constantly providing awesome tips to grow on KZbin.

[@KendrickHarrisKenfinity]

There's absolutely NOTHING like connecting with a dedicated audience, who will stick with our unique interests. Keep doing what you're doing and stay safe!

[@TastingHistory]

Having a frustrating day creating a video, so this was exactly what I needed. Thanks, Roberto!

[@FromPeloToYourHeart]

It does get frustrating...lol

[@fredrikbeckker125]

If you are frustrated, take a break it rest👍 often (according to My experience) frustration is a lack of energy. So don't feel bad if you just rest and relax when you feel frustrated♥️

[@FromPeloToYourHeart]

@@fredrikbeckker125 thank you so much for the tip!

[@nullnova]

And look how far you've come!

[@TalkinWithTonio]

Being a content creator can definitely be super stressful love the content bro

[@BeautyBeatdown]

My tip: don't compare your channel to anyone else's, because no one is on the exact same journey.

[@FromPeloToYourHeart]

True.

[@toaddlyplaysroblox4302]

oh my, this actually hit me

[@boskotheboss]

Omg that what I needed

[@AnnaSzabo]

No matter your background, you teaching or ranting, talking about SEO or depression, the CONSISTENCY of Roberto Blake to me personally is TRUSTWORTHINESS and no bs... I trust you, and regardless of your hairdo, location, music, or mood, I trust you and watch your videos in full while taking notes.

[@RoselomonTV]

"Share what you've learned" it's the main reason why I started sharing my journey on feminine hygiene and women's health as a nurse. That resonates with me. I needed the advice on being patient and trust the process

[@jaimetan]

What helps me stay consistent is to have a daily “power hour”... before the work day starts - I dedicate at least an hour to my personal projects, including creating content for my channel. That way, even if the day runs away from me and I’m too tired by the end of the day to continue, at least I’ve done an hour at the start of the day to keep taking little steps forward. Thanks for this video! 🙌

[@regretfulturtle2612]

Such a good idea! Something is better than nothing 👌🏼👌🏼

[@SharcGaming]

“None of my videos ever went viral” Felt that 😅

[@handzproductionz6361]

POWERFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MILLIONS of views not VIRAL !!!!!!!!!! 💪💪💪 very Strong !!!!!!

[@ShawnMHowell]

“Done is better than perfect” and “progress over perfection”. I used to write these on the top of my planning calendar every day for over a year. Now when I get stuck in my video editing process trying to over perfection and always finding flaws in my own work, these phrases automatically pop in my head so that I can move forward (publish the video) even with the imperfections.

[@KelseyRodriguez]

I think the biggest thing I've done to help me grow faster is to create search-driven content. Ranking #1 or even in the top 20 of search results has provided me with more evergreen, consistent views, and when the video performs well over time browse features eventually pick it up too!

[@handzproductionz6361]

Evergreen content is in my VEINS and on MY BRAIN !!!!!!!!!!! 😎😎😎

[@movemorenowjames]

7 🌟 tips, thanks.

[@thegolfgiveaway5290]

Never having a video go viral spoke to me. The grind of putting out videos and just getting a little better each time is tough to stomach when you see other creators hit what appears to be random success...but in the end, I know that setting a goal and sticking to it will put me in a better place. Plus comparing numbers is for the birds🐦

[@official_ate_gi_channel]

“The work needs to be its own reward.” I need to remember this. Thank you!

[@andrewc403]

I built my other channel to 93,000 subs in the last 12 month. Roberto gives THE most legit advice on being a “KZbinr” lol. I can 100% relate and attest to everything he said here

[@DavidsDoseofItaly]

What keeps me going is I’m closing in on 2k subs so I must be doing something right ! I ask myself a simple question: why quit ? I’d prefer to make imperfect videos until I get better than to quit and wonder what could have been. Lastly being a content creator has been the best hobby of my life. Thank you Roberto for making this video!

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

2:02 - "everything that you do today adds up to an outcome that you're going to experience some time in your future". Absolute GOLD! THX Roberto!!!

[@DorianDevelops]

Just want to say thanks Roberto! Crazy that I started watching your videos years ago when I was learning web design/development. Now I'm using your advice to help me as a content creator.

[@KeenanLambert198]

I've been working to improve.... I needed to get better at soooo many things... Volume control.... Music... Shooting... Quality.... Everything.. Over the last year and a half I've grown. I've used your influence to improve..... Thank you brother!

[@MyVividLife]

#2 Consistency spoke to me! Only getting one subscriber in the last week is hard to see but I am consistent and believe in the content I share on my channel!

[@VirtualChurchTV]

Amazing advice as always loving your channel. My content creation has improved significantly because of your influence. Thanks!

[@GamerThumbTV]

One of my biggest flaws as a creator is overplanning. I can have a clean, filled up calendar at the beginning of the month. And by the end look back and think "idk how I thought I was gonna be able to do all this."

[@TxBeautyQueen83]

The simplicity of your delivery is what I am here for Roberto

[@LilCraftyNook]

“Most people are a byproduct of their consistency -one way or the other” Gold!!! “Rest instead of quit” You are definitely rocking the motivation today!! 🙌🏻🎉🏆🥰 While I get more frustrated when I’m tired, most of the time i’m still happy! Content creators are awesome people and we can value amd hold up each other! My mantra is “keep calm amd draft on”!

[@DarthShadie]

"Remember to rest instead of quit." Wise words, Roberto. Okay, so my tip now would be a To Do list. I have a booklet for it, I prefer hand writing it down. I refresh the list every 4 months, so old tasks don't stay. I have a page of moremon-going projects, and I list video ideas, put in brackets next to the idea "notes/f/e&t/u&s". This keeps track of ifmInwrote notes, filmes, edit, thumbnail, upload and schedule. Checkmarks are my friends. 😁 This help me stay organised, on top of things, and allows me keep track of my ideas and the ideas suggested by viewers.

[@yumes_studio]

They say the best ideas and new ways to approach a task come from times of rest. Finding that balance is difficult but worth it! Thanks for your advice as always! ^^

[@KelvinMedinathezarkman]

What helped me is watching videos like this and from creators I want to learn from. It was so oblivious how they can make beautiful videos until I tried to take one thing and try to apply it to my content. I’m no where near them but I’m learning and the journey to be a better creator is far from over.

[@DarthShadie]

I definitely need to detach from results. When I do, I create more and enjoy the process more and actually get better results than when I am attached, which is most of the time still. When I am attached, I get creative fatigue, and I get envious or feel not good enough, etc. Gotta let go of that.

[@ac3_train3r_blak34]

Set goals and reward yourself! It creates a positive association with getting things done 🙌

[@ALLTHINGSARRIE]

Point #1: 💯 facts!!

[@Megaman14]

Thank you for the tips when you mentioned about "Done is better than Perfect" that is something I struggled with in the beginning of content creation and still some in Graphic Design. A Tip I have that helped is to keep learning and keep practicing you'll eventually over time or with each creation learn to improve and slowly get better at things it's something I'm still working on and trying to do each day.

[@PlatinumSpirit]

The thing that helps me is knowing i can do better and better with each upload. Also if a video gets no traction i dont take it personal but i still love my creation

[@SaraMakesArt]

I don't have anything to add to this list, but the tip I need to work on the most is to "detach myself emotionally from results" and "be invested in the process of creating and the act of doing". I can get really down when my view sub/count is slow, or when the sub count goes down, but I feel really proud when I've finished a painting session and seen what I created. I never think about how many more subscribers it's going to get me. The fact that I did it is enough.

[@1204]

Thanks for the tips

[@soulrebelrc6341]

I like the universal messaging from you in the beginning of the video. That's the kind of of thinking we need, thank you !

[@jfproductions24]

greatest tip I would say is finding other creators just like this channel that motivate other content creators with NO BS advice. Staying on course eliminating distractions and Wanting something instead of taking it as a learning opportunity is huge. Self doubt and protecting your mental health are huge when it comes to content creation.

[@RobertoBlake]

Appreciate you 🙏🏾

[@TeeVee93]

I needed to take notes on this one! My tip is to always be a student. One small piece of information can lead to the change you may need in order to see the results you want. Use everything as a learning experience and don’t stop learning.

[@RebeccaStout]

Emotionally invested. Yup. Thats me and something I've battled with my videos and articles. A battle I've not done well with.

[@luisterrust]

Perfectionism got me far with my channel but it has to be in balance. Videos like this are what all creators need! Thanks 🤩

[@Joehirst]

Superb information Roberto! My tip for content creation, albeit a very inexperiance position on KZbin, would be the same tip I'd give anyone who wants to learn something. That tip is: Find people who can be your mentor, and make sure those people are actually DOING what you want to learn. Roberto Blake makes KZbin videos about making youtube videos, and has already made many sucsessful and helpful youtube videos. This is why, he - is a source I look upward to as a mentor for creating content etc...

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

Here is my best tip that has helped me a lot: 1. I get right to the point within seconds of my video. 2. Most of my videos are 5 minutes or less. 3. I also do a lot of shout outs to other channels to show support. This helps to keep You Tube a place with growth minded people. Thank you for all you do Roberto. You are an excellent teacher.

[@GMAceM]

My #1 tip is to love your content, love it so much you tell everyone about it. Just imagine if you can’t love and share your content how can you expect anyone else to? So love what you do and make sure everyone knows about it (in a not obnoxious way of course lol) 🙌🏼

[@BridalSewing]

"Rest instead of quit." - @RobertoBlake So perfectly said, as always, Roberto. Thank you!

[@YetisPlace]

Roberto, your video was a huge help to me right now. I’m feeling deflated because my channel growth has been stalled for a number of months. Each new release is ranked 8-10 out of my last 10 videos. I keep telling myself to get outside my box and change things up a bit. I’ve been getting better at letting things go, but it still can be challenging. It helps hearing these things from you. Thank you for the encouragement and your advice.

[@MonzonMedia]

Sharing my interests has allowed me to discover my audience and it gets more clear each week. Clarity comes by doing. Great advice as always, so much value you give to us!

[@lamarwoods3386]

Thanks Roberto!!! The tip that helped me the most was not trying to be perfect. Done is better than perfect‼️

[@AchieveYourPotential]

Very true. Especially if "perfect" never happens!

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

Speaking of sharing, I need to put together an envelope with seeds to send to a fellow creator. Generosity lifts up everyone in your niche.

[@IncomeStreamsThatWork]

I stay consistent by making daily goals. I have 3 things I HAVE to do then I can stray! works for me! Thanks for this great video!

[@MoniqueJoinerSiedlak_Author]

I struggle with perfection. Even when writing my books. But I learned to just finish it or it will never get done because it will stop being fun.

[@derryXDINES]

Really good video, Roberto. My best tip for content creators today is an extension of the emotional attachment you talk about. Once I learned how to dig into analytics (Thanks Derral!), I started to see that all of this "cool stuff" I did at the start of videos that was unrelated to the topic/content hindered the actual good stuff from being seen, I got a lot more comfortable with editing, delivery, and making value driven videos. I think H Hillier Smith (tip # 2 from me is to study all of his videos) is a really good voice as far as this goes too.

[@CallieandJordanSquad]

Love the advise about not being so invested in the numbers and to focus on what satisfies you. I have been saying this from the start. Basically if you do videos that you want to do you won’t burn out cause you are not doing videos you don’t want to do. KZbin is all about learning everyday and getting better

[@KellyRossouw]

I have had a few 10/10 videos lately - and I still LOVE my channel and creating videos because I love sharing what I have learned, and I love the process - what you said is so true! Thank you so much - love this video :)

[@HemiMuscle]

My tip is communicate with your audience. Read your comments your audience will tell you what they want to see.👍💯

[@derekhorsburgh6238]

Hi Roberto, I simply will not quit when I believe in something I'm doing has all the right reasons, I'll search for options to overcome the obstacles. Love your channel, Thank you!

[@joymae]

You have to be able to push through the lows and not let the highs distract you

[@REALHARSH]

Consistency is key to its relevant outcome. If you consistently work hard you will obtain success… if you consistently wait for success while not working for it you will be forever waiting…

[@rmjmoviereviews6876]

I guess my best tip is make what you like. Don't just try to do what's popular, but more what speaks to your heart.

[@eddygatlin]

Thanks for this vid bro, perfectionism has destroyed my ability to create anything consistent in the past, I'm still struggling but thanks for reinforcing more productivity over perceived perfection

[@soniateach]

I can relate to this!

[@jackiek4159]

[@SteveWB]

Roberto you are by far the most genuine person on youtube and your videos are inspiring,heartfelt and real....Thank You

[@professornez]

Yep - eliminate distractions - like Clubhouse for one 🙃

[@CalmingAnxiety]

My top tip for content growth is to pay attention to the analytics. When I started to niche down on my podcast I saw that my audience was so far removed from who I thought it would be. I was making my mindset shows to my demographic (old bloke!!) but my largest audience are Women aged 20 to 34 in the States. This then lead me to really research what was trending in their lives and make my shows fit that genre. Good luck every one, find your niche and be proud of who you are.

[@AgnesMann]

My tip is to stay consistent no matter what and don’t discourage yourself if you are not getting-results at the beginning(first year and beyond)

[@ContempoCoding]

I love being a content creator but things will be sooooo much easier in a few weeks when I can send my kid to summer daycamp (she's in virtual school) and have undisturbed time to work. One thing I still struggle with (but doing better) as a creator is other creators in my space "borrowing" ideas. I had a video that I did a lot of research on and got a good title, thumbnail, and topic. The thumbnail had an animated face shot of me pointing to a stop sign. The video performed well and two weeks later another creator in the same niche made a thumbnail pointing at a road sign. Then a week later she made a video with a thumbnail using the EXACT SAME stop sign image I used in Canva. I have a video I'm planning that I think will perform really well and I'm betting in two weeks time the title and idea will be on this person's channel as well. People in "real" jobs that don't like it when people try to take credit for their work may find it shocking as hell when other creators copy ideas from them and you just have to figure out how to cope with it and get even more inventive.

[@UrbanNoizeMusic]

"Everything you do today adds up to an outcome that you're going to experience in the future." WOW never heard or thought about it like this. But its absolutely true and so profound. Im also a witness to this having been a youtuber for the last 2-3 years. Has me even more motivated to see where I'll be in the few months and years with the tips youve given.

[@holisticflo]

This past year, I reached 1,000 subscribers in the span of a year and some change, which I think is pretty good. Even though I am a small channel, I have made about 80 videos and a tip that I think is the most useful is to be consistent. Because no matter what your niche is, audiences of all niches love consistency

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Enjoying the process, that's what has helped me! See you on CH.

[@raselbenyamen9025]

Thank you so much Roberto Blake good tips very helpful for all small KZbinrs godblees always

[@SharonVoyage]

I’ve made my first two crappy videos. I’ve already learned doing videos with all b-roll and screen captures takes a ton of time. I’ve also learned I don’t like Movavi. And Davinci is harder than I want right now. I’m afraid to go in front of the camera because of my looks. But I’m still pushing through because I want this.

[@Hipthehoopla]

"Consistancy creates credibility & comfort." + "Rest instead of quit." My takeaways. *My Favorite TIP* for content creation: Batch sessions rather than flitting from project to project. (Thought I need more help on actually finishing some projects!) Thank you @Roberto Blake for your straight up consistent awesome info. I've been a fan of your quiet informative style for quite a while.

[@NightcoreChase]

It's more promising to go to school and get a good job then starting a KZbin channel for money Having a few virals myself, they mainly got suggested a year later, out of 1200 videos, (privated like 500) I only had one get 100k views in a week KZbin shouldn't be about money, 99% of people who do grow fast is because money, team, or an influence from elsewhere. The hardest mindset for me to develop was that subs = views Having 170k subs and average 2k views within 24h and seeing others get 10-20k views within 24h with even half the subs can be difficult to think about. Everyone has unique situations. Comparing myself all the time was really difficult and it caused a lot of depression that I was useless and worthless but I kept pushing through because I know my future self will be happier. Patience is the real winner in KZbin. My goal is to try to build an active community which has been the only challenge I have yet to surpass.

[@SideHustleInspiration]

Glad to know you're from my hood.Keep doing what you're doing. Nuff respect to ya! :)

[@MatthewRobertHenry]

Solid gold - Done is better than perfect. I have terabytes of amazing bucketlist living adventures still on hard drives because I want to tell every detail of each story perfectly. In the end getting it out there is better than not

[@mogrts]

Done is better than perfect. This is great advice, I need to write this down on my desk in bold letters. Thanks, Roberto.

[@EJTechandDIY]

The best TIP I can give any new creator is to make content about things you really like. Don't make videos just for the views think about the long term

[@DylanJayFox]

My number one tip to anybody who's looking to create content would be to confront your insecurities through creation. For me personally I have almost always hated my commentary voice(much like anybody really) and I would often use that as a crutch as to why I didn't want to make videos. However by taking the time to address it with myself and try to find ways to make my commentary style better I find that it's helped me out a lot specifically with that skill, but furthermore it's a part of my creative process in every aspect from scripting to editing. By confronting any insecurities I might have I'm inching ever closer to becoming a higher quality creator and that's always going to be the goal. ^^

[@RobertoBlake]

YES THIS!!!

[@PeerCoxFashionRec]

Amen. Suffering insomnia as I have to leave my house and search for a new one, keep my job, feed my channel new content.. all though I heard most youtube tips now, this video really helped to find some peace again thanks!

[@AdamMellor1]

The tip that really hit home for me was the “perfection is a trap.” For me it has been wanting the content creation environment to be perfect, but it’s not always going to be. That’s the attitude I’m changing this year! Great video! :)

[@BitsOfInterest]

I love how you go so much deeper than other "how to KZbin" channels. It's not just about the gear, the thumbnail, the edits... I like how you focus more on mindset. Maybe I'm speaking too early because I've only seen two videos so far, but I like what I hear 😉👍

[@fabtrendsbymiya]

So here for this content! Thank you Roberto ♥️

[@ConceptNewEra]

Love your insight, always adding a new perspective! Always grow with your advice! 💯✔️🔥

[@narcissismcognitivedissonance]

Roberto, watching your videos is a welcomed distraction 😆. Got so much more to learn, so thank you again for all the great information.

[@CriticalKunic]

My tip as a still growing KZbinr: try and improve one aspect for each and every video. Whether that be how your edit the video, tweak the audio, speak to the camera, do your thumbnail, etc. Then assess how that change impacted your video. Did your retention go up? What about CTR if you modified the thumbnail or title? Keep what works, and discard what doesn't. Eventually you'll hit the point where viewers consider your content worthy enough to subscribe and continue coming back. But that doesn't necessarily mean to stop improving once you hit that growth 😉

[@harrietcreates9823]

Love this Roberto, exactly what i needed today! Best tip would be to just turn on the camera and make a video!

[@basketballiq8324]

Trying to be perfect is one the biggest obstacles I’ve faced in this KZbin journey.. Needed to hear that bro... #blessings

Great tips! Loved "The work must be the reward for creators" Excellent advice to avoid burnout. Focus on enjoying the process. Internal gratitude > external gratitude, definitely. Thanks Roberto!

[@ladyluckification]

I know that the way I think about things is not with the majority which is why I started a KZbin Channel to encourage single moms along their journey. I do become hesitant at times because I'm not sure if what I am putting out will reach those who need the message, but it all comes to being patient. Thank you for reiterating this truth!

[@JustinKonikow]

You’re a superstar my dude- appreciate you so much!
