#QOTD: Who are you creating content for? Who are you really delivering value for?

[@rayisnothere4138]

I'm just a gaming Channel

[@GavinMalm]

I’m making content for the droves of young real estate agents and entrepreneurs who are failing. They are failing because the education in my industry is outdated by 15 years. I want to put an end to that.

[@RobertoBlake]

Gavin That is how you get specific!!!

[@graciousbeauty8474]

I just started my Beauty and fashion chennel. Helping others in anyway I can has always been my plan💕and listening and following to ur advises has really been helpful. So thanks really🙏

[@GavinMalm]

Roberto Blake Thanks brother! 👊🏻

[@ChimneySwift11]

“Or are you just a megaphone for other people’s opinions and what other people like?” omg such a great quote and an amazing point! Well said Roberto!

[@Mrammer]

7:10 oh snap "people lose their voice before they have it... in exchange for attention". That is so cleverly said, Roberto. Great video as always.

[@JoshuaOtusanya]

Roberto you’ve quickly become one of my favorite KZbinrs. Thanks for the amazing content and relatable vibe you present it with

[@kareemboehmer6072]

What he said 💯👌

[@RobertoBlake]

What stands out for you with me?

[@kareemboehmer6072]

@@RobertoBlake Well, your heart is there. I can tell you want to know your community, its not about the fame or popularity.

[@Dreymasmith]

My painting master was asked about trends, styles and his success. His advice has stayed with me "Don't paint to trend. If you are lucky enough to pick the right one, you'll sell for maybe six months, tops, and then you'll be right back where you started, if you are lucky. Don't develop a "style". You'll end up painting the same thing for twenty years and that's not growth or improvement. Create what you love. It will take longer, but you will find people who love it too and they will stick with you". And I take that advice into whatever I do, especially my little YT channel.

[@theellenpham]

The KZbin algorithm is recommending your older videos to me and I'm totally okay with this. This is one of my favorite videos from you. It deserves more views. When you started talking about how you chose your audience - how you chose me and the rest of people who watched this video - I felt that.

[@HUNKSComedy]

I love this opinion. It's so easy to lose sight of what you want to put out in the world when chasing acceptance from people you don't even know.

[@NatashaLeecole]

“If you’re not driven by the need to create, you might not actually be a content creator.” I totally understand and agree. “People are losing their voice in exchange for attention and staying relevant”... that part too.💯

[@RobertoBlake]

It’s a difficult thing for a lot of people to wrap their head around

[@NatashaLeecole]

Roberto Blake some will get it some won't, those that won't will be the ones to figure it out the hard way. When they become disappointed and want to quit because things aren't going how they hoped.

[@ThePoshPaperLady]

EXCELLENT VIDEO👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. I’ve always created for myself. Since joining KZbin, I still create for me and in a style that makes me happy. My style goes against the norms of “make it quick, make it cheap”, but I’m happy with it. I’m delivering value to all crafters who want to learn the true fundamentals of creating and doing it right! THANK YOU SO MUCH😀😀

[@IQWorkshop]

Well this lit a fire i wasn't expecting. "I picked you!" I think i just got whiplash with the change in direction this statement just hit me with. As i sit here watching the remainder of the video, i feel this single video resonates with me more than any other video i have watched from RB or on YT for that matter. Thanks for making this man!

[@CIARAELAINE]

WHAT A GREAT VIDEO. This needed to be said and you did so very eloquently. KZbin has become a myriad of clout chasing and money grabbing and a lot of creators who forget why they truly started. It’s also become a torture chamber for small creators who doubt their meaningful contributions and give up bc of low views or subs. I think we all need to remember this from time to time and I wish all content creators could see this!

[@iancorzine]

These are really important words, Roberto. I am taking them to ❤️ 👊🏻

[@TaraNikita]

Powerful. Before I started my day today, I carved out a 15 minute slot for Roberto. Man, am I glad I did. Thank you as always for your authenticity, frankness and the value you give to those of us who are serious about working and creating on our own terms. You are, as always, a breath of fresh air.

[@PostedUp]

You ain't lie once fam. Our channels SHOULD be based on passion and personal growth first, rather than external motivations. There so many layers but you did great breaking everything down my G 👊🏽

[@Noealz]

I'm glad you put this out, sometimes I feel like people pander too much to what "the audience" wants that they end up losing themselves

[@GavinMalm]

Hey Roberto, I just want to give you a whole hearted thank you for the realness. I know my content isn’t for everyone but that’s ok. It’s for me and now I have been building my own small group of fans. As always, thanks for all the help.

[@RobertoBlake]

That’s an important realization.

[@donnajustbeingreal6607]

Roberto.. Love your real talk. For Me: 1. Helping people. 2. Helping people to Follow their Dreams. 3. Telling people to stay away from Negative People. 4. Giving the best Advice. I can on relationship. So people stop wasting their time on Dead End relationships I love when you said Tubers losing themselves. I'm a very small Tuber. Growing slowly. I only want people who is into my content, and it's helpful to them. That puts a smile on my face. Not the numbers. ☺️👍🏾🙏🏿

[@FixItNick]

I have a KZbin channel, but here is the deal, my BIGGEST fear is public speaking, my second issue is watching myself on video and my 3rd issue is recording into a camera, as soon as I hit record my brain farts, I forget bunch of stuff, I get nervous, I dread starting a video project each time, but deep inside, actually love making vids and editing, it’s so stupid weird I know. My channel keeps growing and people seem to enjoy my content, so that’s really rewarding at the end :)))

[@RobertoBlake]

That’s where I started... watch my earliest videos... they are pretty bad

[@mechca9990]

Been building slowly for 4 years now. I'm in no rush it takes time and a well-excutated plan to do what you love and be able to make a living from it. As well give to those around you.

[@livingwithgraceinjapan]

Roberto, this is my 2nd comment. I made my channel when my husband lost his vision ( he is blind now) during the pandemic years. I made the channel to voice out something. I am not monetized yet but I do not care. I take video clips, edit and publish- then repeat and I am finding myself getting better, emotionally and technically. I am getting subs, too, once in a while and that is fine with me. Thank you for your real honest advices.

[@RobertoBlake]

🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@ttvrebornchunk8942]

Every time i make a video i get shy and don’t feel confident in my self but then just a couple weeks ago i had started to watch your videos and have started to believe in myself a lot lately you have inspired me

[@RobertoBlake]

What do you feel made the difference?

[@RealTalkWithLadyDee]

Absolutely, that’s where I’m at now trying to find my own audience.

[@MikeShake]

I'm creating to satisfy my need of create (I was a civil engineer and I recently quit to create videos). I'm finding people that love my videos, slowly but I'm finding them. I love to be unpredictable and genuine in my videos, talking about a "deep" message that represents what I'm doing in my life: try to do whatever you want as hard as you can, taking risks and don't stop trying... but covering this message with funny things, to reach a younger audience. Btw great video Roberto, I watched it 2 times

[@intheworldofmari]

Mikeshake thats awesome! Keep it up 😊 and all the best to you 😊

[@MikeShake]

@@intheworldofmari thank you so much!

[@AndyLifeInVideo]

This was a wake-up call for me Roberto! I've been chasing numbers for a long portion of my time here on KZbin, but the audience I was after wasn't interested and I felt more dissatisfied with the work I was doing here. Now, I'm just doing me and documenting my journey back to Japan to study abroad in Tokyo next year! I'm not expecting to get a big audience or even an audience at all since the Japan niche is super-saturated, but it's something I'm really passionate about and I want to pursue it more!

[@wysteriafox2977]

Roberto said "I'm going to hurt some feelings" and I know it's going to be full of VALUE. :)

[@Craftswright]

I'm kind of surprised how many people aren't directly answering your question in the comments! I'm creating content for people that are just like me, people that love to craft things themselves by hand, Jack and Jills of all Trades. I try to deliver inspiration, alternate techniques, and encouragement. A couple weeks back a young man in high school woodshop downloaded my free plans for hexagon pencil holders and told me he was going to use them to make gifts for his teachers, friends and family. THAT was the moment I knew this is what I want to do. When I had concrete proof I had inspired someone to craft and build something out of their comfort zone. Something they could be proud of and give to others. Cheers brother, great video!

[@MySonsMother]

I answered under Roberto's pinned comment.

[@Modern.Motoring]

[@jadylove]

"Pick and choose who you want you audience to be... and do it with a sense of purpose " Thank you Roberto. Your info always brings me back to center.

[@virtual_intel]

My voice has evolved on KZbin as I never cared for the attention. Instead I stabbed at learning resources and research online. Then reflecting what all I began to struggle with into my tech related video tutorials. KZbin isn't a sprint it's more like a lifetime marathon. My pace is tortoise like, but I love it and enjoy being a true content creator. Low quality and all 😉🧙‍♂️ great topic.

[@zorosoro9380]

This man is speaking very true words. I've recently been struggling with this but by making content that I want to make, I've felt better. It's a tossup alright. A painful tossup.

[@LeanneMelody]

when you said "i chose you"... that hit hard! totally understand your message. I am a small youtuber but have experienced the same problems you address with my audience on instagram. Can totally relate to everything you have to say. i think authenticity is something more and more people are recognising and being yourself is truly the only thing that can set you apart from the saturated world of social media. Thank you for helping me get my first 300 subscribers! You're right it's' hard feeling like you're not heard esp on a new platform but I will be taking on all of your advice from this vid as it's helped me so much thus far!

[@RobertoBlake]

Thanks Leanne. Even I myself have to have this internal debate. I made this video as much of a reminder for myself as anyone else. I feel my calling is education, but I had to do it on my terms. That’s what brought me to KZbin... and so when I remember that it makes it easy to make content for someone like you that aligns with my sense of purpose... Instead of worrying about how to go viral. It’s more important to make your authentic self undeniable.

[@VelocityWriting]

Hey Roberto, I watch Darrel Eves, Brian G Johnson, Nimmins, and a few others on a regular basis. But I think you are far and above the best in the genre. Your hype is minimum and your helpfulness is maximum. I especially like how you blend tips and techniques with inspiration and motivation. I appreciate your work and always look forward to your uploads.

[@TimothaLanae]

VelocityWriting Agreed 💯

[@tracymann6253]

Roberto - great point about how not having a particular audience can hurt your growth. I turned 56, retired from my Government job and six months later I suddenly had a lot to say. Since my video making skills were non-existent I decided I just needed start to build my skills. I have been watching your channel since I saw you at VidCon last year. My daughter is a KZbin Creator too so both of you have inspired me! I’m still figuring out who my audience is but it feels like it is women in my demographic and younger women just starting out. I have so many life lessons to teach! Thanks for your help!

[@RobertoBlake]

You should make those videos. I had a lot to say and teach when I left corporate America so I did it with this channel and now the Podcast!

[@TheRewiredSoul]

PREACH. I really think I've been placed in a position of fear of running a business since I got so much flak for selling products and services, and I need to get back to that because it would give me a lot more freedom with the videos I make because I wouldn't care nearly as much about views and adsense

[@gibben3479]

Love your content. It's really cool to know that someone is as passionate as you. thx for the help! Everyone who sees this, have an amazing day!

[@MarshaunO]

This makes so much sense. I have an education channel on relationship and I understand not all my content is for every person subscribed to me BUT I refuse to be a slave to being seen versus something I stand for. I love the freedom.

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

Thank you for this video Roberto! There's a lot of "how to grow your KZbin channel" videos out there. They talk about producing what the audience wants and not necessarily what you want. But then you have a boss dictating everything you do. When you were talking about photography I thought, "yep, Roberto and I have something in common. We can't take someone dictating want we do." It's just too stressful, confusing and stifling. I didn't start KZbin to get an audience, I started KZbin because I thought I had something to give. If I worry about trying to grow my audience, I won't be giving what I started out to give.

[@FerdausAmzah]

I'm creating content for a version of myself from 5 years ago... to share everything I know about setting up a design agency business, growing it, delegating it to new leadership etc. It's the only thing that, as you said, I can't shut up about. Even though it's probably extremely niche and saturated. Don't care. I'm already benefitting a bit from making those content, especially in clarity of thought.

[@floydlholt9829]

I found my calling when I gave up on everything. That moment of not caring allowed me to find myself. Got into beekeeping on a whim and enjoy it. Then everything else just fell into place. Now I am building websites for local businesses with a better peaceful mind. Which is best for building and creating something great.

[@NaturallyGraysful]

Roberto this is hands down my favorite video of yours. This motivational rant style is how I found your channel and why I’m still here. You have lots of amazing content but these videos that speak directly to us creators reminding us of what’s really important that is your value for me! Thank you for being willing to speak to us who need it rather than focus just on what’s “relevant”. The audience I am here to serve are those who need encouragement to be more loving to themselves in times of struggle. To be inspired to be compassionate to themselves. Particularly those who are moms and chronically ill. I agree with your sentiments that you want people who show up for who you are authentically then you won’t burnout trying to be something your not! I can’t say enough about this video. This should be before you start any social media watch this! Thank you thank you.🦋

[@MikePickettDesignCo]

Great subject matter on this video Roberto! So many great points... You ask "who am I creating content for?" It's funny because I realized about a month ago that I was creating for me, I wasn't creating anything that really added any value for people coming to watch my content since all I had was Adobe Illustrator Speed art videos. I know there may be some value there but not very much!! 🤔 So I am now focused on creating content that is going to benefit up and coming Graphic Designers and Vector Artists. I've been working in the graphic design field for nearly 20 years. I love creating content - not just videos, but vector illustrations, characters, typographic works... the list goes on. Time to get focused! Thank you.

[@RecoveringHunbot]

I am doing the same thing for course creation. I have over 20 years experience in designing and developing online courses as an instructional designer. And right now, I am just learning how to get my videos edited. I have all kinds of ideas too and I have let go of the "need" for viewers or subscribers because I have to actually learn the basics of creating content on this platform. And the only way to do it is to gee do it--practice over and over. Thanks for sharing Mike!

Great video, Roberto. Honestly, I hope this video actually persuades people to NOT continue 'creating' if their motivations are not exactly what you spelled out. Hard truths on what motivates us all, but are very important truths. It's okay to step back and truly think about the 'Why' they do this. Deciding to stop or change directions will save a ton of heartache and work by watching this video. True value in your content. Thank you.

[@virtualviolencegamers8985]

Definitely what drives me is just being able to make something for the few people who enjoy the content as much as I do. I did a video game review in a past video and got negative feedback for that game. Instead of saying forget it, I made several more videos of that game just because I enjoy it. You give awesome advise in all your videos and that's why I keep coming back when I get discouraged.

[@zackatk77]

This has to be one of the most powerful Honest Thoughts videos I've seen from you. Right from the title you were essentially pinpointing my KZbin origin story. I jumped into this community in 2011 because I felt like I didn't have a voice in my town and that no one cared about the things that I loved. I turned to KZbin because I thought 'If people in my town won't listen, there's bound to be someone in the world who will." I can't agree more how people have lost their passion for creating content because they've only sought after other people's validation by creating what's popular even if it's not what they love. Being a small content creator is a fabulous thing! I have freedom to create what I love without stressing over not "making" the view count on a video. The only reason I really want to get big is so the KZbinrs that inspire me to keep going and that I look up to will see me as someone to collaborate with. I'm with you on 'add value to their community and content' train, but I also believe numbers do play a huge factor in that. I've been adding value to two individuals' fan bases for a very long time yet when I propose a collaboration and offer to do the bulk of the work there's still no response.

[@moved9095]

Sound advice, felt like it's just mirroring my exact internal thoughts, used to draw things i like, then fell into the trap of drawing to get others attention. Saw what i was doing and stopped that, paid more focus on doing what i wanted. Also can resonate with that situation where you are working for someone design wise, suddenly your creativity is no longer in your hands. Having the realities dawn on you feel crippling. Need to give the journey time, racing towards the finish line without understanding what you are getting into is just reckless. Even if you want so much to be successful, delayed gratification.

[@TravelTipsForNepal]

I don't have a problem with my voice. I make videos for the million tourists who come to Nepal each year. It's one of those places people really don't know what to expect. No, it isn't India.

I enjoy your videos because of the passion you have. Thanks for the inspiration.

Neither of us have a big following but I would prefer 100 of her to 500,000 critics. Thanks again.

[@FreewayFlippers]

What I took away was focusing on what we are passionate about. Since we are so new, we should focus on that instead of trying to create videos we "think" people want to hear and see.

[@amaracea]

Exactly. Plus, we all live on the same planet, so as weird as you may be, it’s probable many others are just as weird and that, in fact, the only reason it’s “weird” is because everyone is fitting themselves into social standards that nobody likes but are afraid of being judged. Worse, you do get judged, because people feel if they don’t judge you then they’ll be judged by others who think they agree with your “weirdness.” It is an extremely sad social system and the only way to break it is to create for yourself, not for the masses. In short, we must stop caring what other people think. Judgment is the core of all evil. You can’t actually name a single sin nor trigger (to things like sadness, anger, desire, etc) that can’t be traced back to judgment. Yet we tend to make creative content based entirely around judgment from other people. Something is very wrong with that.

[@FreewayFlippers]

@@amaracea Completely agree. You can relate fear of being judged to so much. I was afraid to leave my job as a teacher because I was afraid of what my coworkers, families, and friends would think. I was an AWESOME teacher, but it didnt fulfill me as a person. My true passion is helping others go against the grain and flip something "norm" in their life. Whether it is how you live (we live in an RV) where you work (I sell things online) being married without kids. Not having that standard "life" society wants us to live. I actually commend your channel - it is unique and shows me who YOU are. 😀

My “audience” is the new mama, but I find it so hard to be laser focus on one particular niche. I create content about motherhood and also infertility awareness. I told my husband how frustrated I was because I really want to be laser focus on something, but at the same time, the thought of just restricting myself so much that I can’t talk about anything else in my videos freaks me out. Is there anybody you can recommend that work with creators to help them find their specific niche? Thank you so much for your words in this video. You are always so authentic

Was to build a online business because there is a reward for people who take it seriously in the long run.. 2nd was to share with the world who we are as a family because in my community were well respected and loved by many ,so doing what we already do but just leveraging the platform to reach a broader audience and connect with other families and individuals that are 100% REAL!! 3rd. For my kids self esteem and confidence being on camera getting out of there comfort zone and developing some great skills that will help them grow in life for seeing themselves on TV / online having raving fans my kids friends at s school think we're celebrities and they all support us keep in mind i have 3 kids 1 in daycare and 2 in elementary school.. so we just creating content that people will enjoy and we loving every moment of it. So ya i totally agree with you Roberto we will never down grade ourselves and we have less than 300 subs but i feel like i have 3 milly so no biggie ...👍🏿✌🏿🙏🏿

Roberto, God bless you bro. This is actually the best video I’ve ever seen regarding being a content creator. It’s finally settling in that the quality of subscribers matters so much more than the quantity. Wow. I think everyone needs this amazing reminder that’s it important be our genuine selves, to figure out who we want our audience to be, and to make content that we genuinely love instead of just chasing the algorithm. I needed this reminder and I truly appreciate your honesty and the hard work that you put in to teach and encourage us. Thank you and keep up the amazing work ❤️🙏🏾😘 Fernelle

Thank you for this message, it is really profound especially in this day and age on trying to grow in youtube and everyone telling you you have to hone in on vids that are doing great in watchtime. Even though it is not always the type of video you enjoy making. I am planning new content at the moment and I am really keeping in mind what I think is interesting to talk about, so I will keep motivated and keep having fun

Good point about not really being able to find one's voice if one is chasing attention.

[@AwjeeASMR]

This is so true you always put things in persecutive for me... Thank you 🙏

You made a lot of great points in this video. It's tough when your audience is reacting well to the content that you're tired of making. And then when you try to shift to something you are more passionate about, there's backlash. There are videos I haven't made for fear of dislikes or negative comments. But if I continue on the path I'm on, it's only a matter of time before I get burned out and stop uploading all together.

I’m creating for people who want to see the world through a new lens. I believe that people don’t need to go to far off locations or put themselves in danger to have an adventure, but that an adventure can be had right in your own backyard. I create for curious people, to hopefully inspire them to stop and smell the roses, and then consider the little things that call those roses home.

Keep killing it, Roberto! You’re one of the reasons and inspirations behind me getting my KZbin channel off the ground. Working on new content as we speak and trying to “find my voice”.

I make content for yarn crafters, I love yarn, so I'm sharing my love.
