10 BRUTAL Facts every Content Creator will learn...

[@dailyrepsofficial]

Creating content is an act of courage. As Kierkegaard noted, 'To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.' Embrace the brutal truths-they shape resilience and mastery in the long game of creation.

[@Rufio1975]

I like that quote. Need to remember it.

[@DrezziiiTV]

I really needed to hear that #10. I just fucked up the audio on my next video and it’s not something I can just re-record. Was really demoralizing to listen back to it and realize what happened. But I’m not gonna let it affect me negatively. I’m just gonna roll with it and learn for the next time. That’s all you really can do sometimes. “It’s not about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.”

[@BigE]

Bingo

[@TentandLantern]

Adobe makes a free browser based app for podcasters that sweetens your audio up. I had the wrong settings on a video and the audio was a wreck. Way too hot. That salvaged it to where it was at least listenable. Hoping it’ll help you out. ❤

Hey BigE, thank you. Great advice. Started in April in it for the long Haul. Stay Uncommon!

[@BigE]

You got this!

[@Uncommony]

@BigE Thank you, brother. Early congrats on a 100k!

[@Suplex-City]

Bro, Your video's are always so good, You can definitely tell a story. Congrats to you on all your well deserved success 😊

[@BigE]

Glad you like them!

[@2kTop10]

Good Luck to all fellow creators!

[@TDGame]

Great video 😂👍🏾

[@10IQGaming]

I started a year ago on youtube ... Uploaded my opinions and just did it with the outlook of this is just for fun. I know have going on 8k subs and 1.8 million combined views and make almost the same amount of money i do from working my job. I never came into this expecting anything and it just happened for me. In my mind EVERYONE should have a channel they upload there opinions and gameplay on and dont ever expect anything from it in return. But if it does happen. Congratulations 🎉 thats what worked for me.

[@BigE]

Nice 🙌🙌

[@flygirl1612]

Congrats to you!! I so agree. I just started creating about a month ago, and even though I have no views, I'm really enjoying the creative side and the self therapy, I guess, with speaking your thoughts out loud. So if no one ever watches, it's actually beneficial for me with enhancing my skills and learning new skills 😊

[@robinshood1268]

Nice! But I don’t get it, I have combined from KZbin, Instagram and TikTok around 17 Million Views and I didn’t earn a freakin dime for it 😂😭

[@ZanyWolfYT]

I Started In March of This Year and I really want to continue to get better with editing because I generally enjoy it and make myself laugh and have fun in the process.

[@flmanjosh]

Thanks for the wisdom BigE. Needed to hear this

[@BenchrestMarksman]

Thank you so much these facts are so correct

[@REAPER9-6]

This is the true needing to be told man!! I started videos on KZbin over two years ago.. i got 1.4k on on video ane i was so excited but never posted till about 3 months ago not as much views but i stream on youtube and i went from 453 subs to 1.48k!! So slowly building!! So thank you for the video man youv gained a sub! 🎉

[@MoxCrypto]

Thanks mate! From time to time you need to hear this stuff to get your mindset back on track! All the best to you and every creator reading this!

[@rustyscrewsrc]

Great vid brother; thanks! New sub!

[@CandidClara]

Started on KZbin in 2007, it took me 16 years to realise there was a potential business in it and to start showing up consistently!

[@CarQuicks]

Came across this video and wanted say this was direct and to the point. Things I’ve heard, but also some I haven’t, especially with tackling networking. Loved the video and I’m subscribed now.

[@SangHTX]

👍 I see a lot of people in KZbin Facebook groups saying that you should never delete or block people that comment negative things on your videos. They say because it will help your numbers. I disagree with that. I believe that you should Delete and Ban Toxic people as soon as possible. I think you should keep your Community/Comment Section clean and family friendly.

[@techheadcentral5472]

Yes haters will hate but they will always popup to start something and that brings more views and numbers

[@tonyk92]

Thank you. I just started in August and I'm proud of what I've learned in such a short time but I'm pretty hard on myself. However, I've learned that sometimes the videos I think are bangers get negative views and some videos I put out that I think are dog shit end up with my most views lol. I'm learning to not take myself and this industry so seriously, if they come they come.

[@Treborray]

I love that you spit straight facts ! No sugar coat

[@RGBCARS]

Thanks, bro! I think i needed this video, just to boost me a bit more, because sometimes i just get demotivated. Much love!

[@HookedHub16]

I just started making this journey and I needed to is video to help push me and keep me motivated there’s times I get overwhelmed and get to far ahead of myself when making content but this is a awesome video for sure !!!

[@OldYounGamerStreamHighlights]

Very well summarized. As I am myself in this journey since 9 months now I really can agree on nearly everything you say although my thoughts on the subject of “don't blame the algorithm” would now be a little more nuanced. I am a person who always tries to find out first and foremost what I might have done wrong. In all situations in life! My experience with the KZbin algorithm after exactly 35 uploads is easy to summarize: Seems to work okay but very regularly leaves me wondering: this current behavior just doesn't make sense based on the available statistics! Leads me to the conclusion: It's not always the creator's fault when the algorithm does things or spontaneously DOES NOT DO things. In such cases, you simply have no choice but to abandon a video and concentrate on the next one. Sad but true...

[@PhilFlock]

straight to the point. i like that

[@jacoberis6220]

This was honestly so helpful, the truth hurts but man is it so useful especially from some one who has gone through the whole process. thanks man

[@Jackiesharonhill]

Great advice thank you, love your passion!

[@JohnWi11is]

Love this video buddy, so raw & authentic & nothing but 100% truth & honesty. You can feel your passion. I’ve been following you since about 40k & loved watching you grow. 100k is definitely deserved, well done & keep going 🔥

[@IsaacBeast]

I just wanted to say, brother, everything you shared in this video is absolutely spot on. I've learned many of these lessons myself over time, and the networking advice really resonated with me. Building genuine friendships and groups where you can truly connect, instead of viewing people as just a means to gain influence, is where the real value lies. Most people need to hear these tips, but many don't take action and end up making mistakes, which can sometimes be a good thing. One thing I've been learning recently is how important consistency is. It's tough juggling different things, but in the end, staying consistent is key. For some of us, growth takes time, but ultimately, it's all in the hands of the universe.

[@mikeydoyle2002]

Man I just have to say..love you videos. Raw and authentic. You are always a huge help and fun to watch. Keep up the awesome work bro 🤙

[@channel7newsmeow]

fr fr, you just spilled the hardest truths. 😮‍💨Mad respect for being so real about the struggle. ✌

[@mmcthrift]

I love your videos and personality! Thanks for all that you do :)

[@vvstipstricks]

Why are this dude not over 100k subs 😮 Guys, lets help BigE out and smash that subscribe button! Really good perspectives man.. enjoyed it fully!

[@rasalresid9147]

Those are some really valuable tips and I wish I have watched this video before... It would have saved me so much time I used on trial-and-error. But I guess it's never too late to learn and improve as content creator (Recently, I also discovered that using a bit of Famester helped me to level up my channel even more). Keep up the great work, I can't wait for your next video.

[@BazookaJoeD]

Thanks so much my friend! I've been working on my channel for weeks and finally getting ready to launch it next week and I can just tell from your voice how genuine you are and greatly appreciate the advise and all that you do!

[@Paintqueen]

100% truth man, first time I heard someone saying it as it is. I promise you all the algorithm is not against you. Simply post GOOD content on a consistent basis and you will be watched. Thank you for not being a lying piece of sh*t like all other youtube creator advice givers I heard so far. You just got yourself a new sub. Stay honest man, I love hearing the hard truth🤟

[@BurritoHorror]

Awesome video, love your honesty, this has been motivating. Glad this video was pushed out to me. I especially resonated well with your 2 points about doing it because you love it and dont expect anything, and about haters. I have been dealing with haters, even if I am literally making a video about a game for entertainment. Im so over it now, there will always be another. I just block them now, no shts given. Anyways, I subbed and hope to see more videos such as this in the future. mad respect, sending positive vibes your way.

[@Exclusivesb]

This was some great advice. 👌

[@coldcole9343]

Thank you for the advice bro a few months ago I had some of my best months on YT and views were booming and gaining subscribers literally everyday, fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and my videos are barley getting any views but I didn’t let that stop me from staying consistent and I hope that this is only temporary because I genuinely enjoy what I do🤝🏾💯 Amazing Vid🙏🏾

[@redandthewolfphotography]

Awesome video. Especially the bit about not stressing over your equipment - just make sure you can be seen and heard, and don't worry about the rest. Watching Peter McKinnon and crew, you start to think that's the new benchmark - but there's so many people I'm just happy to "hang out with" in their office or lounge cos what they have to say is interesting. And that's enough. Like catching up with an old friend or making a new one. I'm new to your channel, but loving all your content! Oh, and the thing about the haters... I'm going to remember that. So far, I'm little - no trolls yet - but you're right - no one's holding a gun to your head to just sit and take the abuse. Like we're meant to be above it or something. I don't need that crap in my life! lol

[@BigE]

100%

[@brainharrington]

Love this energy

[@OutDehExplorer]

BigE great straight talk . have you ever had a Creator set a bot against your channel to be the first comment with some AI that read the transcript of the video and made a boring comment? would you hide them from the channel, even though they are commenting, and they seem to be a nice person?

[@minimumviablepizza]

Point one should be a life rule. Too many people expecting stuff with no hard work these days. I've also learned that my version of consistency for my life right now is monthly, and even though my growth may be slower I'm steadily growing and those who subscribe are a solid community. The algorithm has not forgotten me as a very small creator. Solid vid as always bro!

Thank you for the insight. Been trying to produce more videos and grow but I get discouraged and end up not making videos I want to make. Gotta just let it all go and create.

[@StinkyHoops]

I'm glad you call out the follow for follow BS, its so fake and I refuse to participate in that kinda stuff. I know you do touch on this in number 8 anyways but I think a better alternative is to critique for critique. I love it when others give me genuine, actionable feedback so I really try to do the same for others. I'm not subbing to you if I dont like your stuff, but there's no reason I cant help you and vice versa. Peace BigE, I'm new to your channel but I like that you are real bro.

[@Philouimette_]

I just started my KZbin journey 2 months ago (July 1) just beginning my 3rd month. I’m at 82 subscribers. I’ve been doing tiktok since 2020 and I rarely stream on twitch even though I need to do that more. Content creation in my niche (pro wrestling) is tough because it’s constantly changing but I love it.

[@hatobtw]

constant change is good tho. u always got sum to talk about

[@Philouimette_]

@@hatobtwvery true. Every day there’s something new in pro wrestling. 😂

[@heartphelt]

Love these tips bro!!! 🔥

[@WakingsCall]

“It is such a dumb fucking idea to think the algorithm hates the small guy.” I laughed out loud from your profanity, love it! New sub ❤️

[@FreedomAndPeaceChris]

It's a dumb idea to think that it doesn't. An impression is expensive real estate. Every impression is like an ad for your channel. Why would KZbin give you quality impressions if you haven't proven yourself yet? There are leagues on KZbin. Leagues for viewers and leagues for creators. And you get impressions from viewers that are in the same league as you. Meaning if you have a few subscribers, a few views, a few watch hours, then you'll get cheap impressions from viewers with short attention spans, because KZbin doesn't want to waste an impression from a quality viewer on you. It's not hate or malice, it's basic math.

[@auteurstudios]

Awesome video brother, subbed

[@runoutofaname]

When it comes to haters. For me like 80% of the comments is like from haters and they also comes to my stream. I'm always quick to kick people from the stream. But when it comes to comments I just don't have the energy to do that. But I also love what I'm doing. I just feel like I'm getting more haters than people who will stick around for the good content sometimes

[@BigE]

Follow your gut. I was doing drama content for a little and it wasn’t worth the growth for me so I pivoted

[@mcpheesgardeningservices]

G ‘ day mate thank you for your great advice

[@anonimotion]

I’m new, my videos (shorts) all get stuck at 400-500 views? why? 😢 If you had the same problem, did it ever get any better? Maybe I need to wait?

[@DragonKnightDragonborn]

Just remember as well. If you quite now then ask why did you start? Take brakes is one thing but full on quite then why did you start? If you quite then why started the journey? if this what you wanted you have to find you're own grove to handle the ship. Content is the ship and the one at the helm of the ship is one who is the content creator, That is all i can say throw in one of my cents of wisdom. Rest is true, now yes networking is good but do know who you can network and those who are just there just blow smoke and mirrors. I ran into that and learned. Failure is progress to success, that is all i can say for me.

@@BigE well damn I stand corrected. 9% off what you have is damn impressive

[@tylertalkstraveltrailers]

so I started seriously a little over a month ago. I have been grinding so hard. I do a 20-25 min video everyday and one short. I don’t think this is smart for most channels but it seems to be working for me. I’ve gained 975 subs and 6800 watch hours. That’s not a lot by any means but I’m happy to see the hard work paying off. I’m really hoping this momentum keeps going forward. Everyone keep grinding it will all pay off.

[@SassyStephanie22]

My husband and I just video whatever makes us laugh and what makes us smile.
