How to be a creator instead of a consumer

[@DanielJMadden]

If you enjoy what you see please don't forgot to like the video. Thank you for watching! 😁 What unfortunate event have you experienced lately, if any?

[@KingMajors]

It’s tough not to compare yourself to others just like you said Daniel, but I love when you also said.. you have to stop consuming and start creating MORE ! Awesome my man, the more we create, the better we become.

[@DanielJMadden]

Appreciate you always supporting and being encouraging. 🙏🏿

[@KingMajors]

@@DanielJMadden Always a pleasure !

[@therobinsonfamily7719]

I feel u in this video. I totally agreed. This used to happens to me , where I would supposed big content creators and it took away from our channel. I lost focus for a while until I dial back and return to my community.

[@DanielJMadden]

Exactly! Thank you for being a part of my community.

[@TylerSinden]

Man, I feel this one. I don't do enough of creating and it's all just creating. I need to do what you did and just go out and take pictures.

[@DanielJMadden]

Yeah bro! Pictures usually change my mood! And creating videos is the icing on top of it all. Thanks for watching!

[@minifoodies9448]

Great sharing I enjoyed ur videos 👍 Happy to see u friend and good luck

[@DanielJMadden]

Thanks for watching!

[@DionTheCreative]

So I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way but it’s so refreshing to see a smaller creator that looks like me, a young black man, who is doing what they love. I stumbled across your channel because it popped up on my home page. I’ve been bingeing your content since then and I love it. Love what you’re doing and keep it going. You’ve inspired me to finally get started on my KZbin channel. So thank you for that.

[@DanielJMadden]

Bro I receive that 🙌🏿. Appreciate you watching and for the feedback. There aren't many of us so I definitely get that.

[@DanielJMadden]

Can't wait to for you to start your channel. I'll definitely be watching and I'm loving pics on instagram.

[@IeshaMadden]

That thumbnail photo though!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@DanielJMadden]

Thanks babe!

[@TheWealthPrince]

Love it, let's put in the grind and keep shining!!

[@DanielJMadden]

💪🏿 Yessir

[@MoreLoveNow]

Consume. Get inspired. Create More! Don't compare yourself to those who are further down the road. Once upon a time, they were exactly where you are today. But, they got where they are now by creating MORE, consistently!! Keep at it, my friend. 👍

[@DanielJMadden]

Appreciate the encourage! 🙏🏿

[@feastfriday]

Really dope storytelling man. Ever since I started taking content creation serious I stopped watching "big" youtubers and it's helped so much with endlessly consuming. Great video Daniel. Keep at it and keep creating.

[@DanielJMadden]

Thanks man! It has helped me out so much as well and I just started doing it lol. Appreciate you watching 🙏🏿

[@DanielJMadden]

@Kevin Exconde how'd you find my channel?

[@feastfriday]

@@DanielJMadden Anytime man.

[@feastfriday]

I saw you comment on one of Peters videos and just thought I'd pop by man. Glad I did!

[@DanielJMadden]

Glad your did as well. Love your videos so far.

[@MindfullyCat]

Everything you said in this video really resonated with me. I still appreciate my "bigger" KZbinrs, but I unsubscribed to most of them EXCEPT for the ones that genuinely inspire me (John and Hank Green, for instance). The editing in this video really stuck out to me, so I can tell you've been studying it and trying out new things! And as far as binge watching, I think it's okay to indulge in binge marathons every once in a while! I try not to do it all the time (though TikTok is dangerous for me lol), but it can be good for the soul sometimes lol

[@DanielJMadden]

TikTok is soooo dangerous. 10, 15, 30 mins easily passes by. Lol and yeah I hear you. I'm not taking a break for too long but I just need a breather to just refocus.

[@destructor_de_mundos247]

lets be a creator, nice done sir....

[@DanielJMadden]

Thank you 🙏🏿

[@therobinsonfamily7719]

I love this setting 😍 I would take a bunch of photos right there

[@DanielJMadden]

Lol I feel you

[@PGBlanks]

A+ video dude, love that you’re mixing up the content. Alberta looks beautiful, snow included. Another consequence of watching too many big KZbinrs is that I start subconsciously copying them and I start losing my own voice. Gotta stop watching Matt D’Avella 😂

[@DanielJMadden]

It really is bro. I love it out here! If you ever find yourself out here you need to check out Banff.

[@ericadees4271]

I love the spinning chair!! :D

[@DanielJMadden]

Me too! Lol

[@Bidness32]

Great video! Something everyone should follow

[@DanielJMadden]

I agree! Thanks for the sub!

[@NaturallyToldbyMara]

I think lately I have been a whole lot of consumer. But working on my creator side.

[@DanielJMadden]

Yeah I had to break out of it. But I sure you'll find your way.

[@InvestwithDarren]

Great video Daniel!

[@DanielJMadden]

Thanks for watching!

[@SpencersVlog]

LOL did u just reverse spin to be less dizzy. 4:58 Fully agree. It does get depressing but we have to acknowledge that talent and audience will grow, so we need to be patient with ourselves.

[@DanielJMadden]

I did. Lol. And you're patience is necessary.

[@kingof2009]

Was having thai conversation last week with some folks. Too relevant. Lol and shout out to the chair

[@DanielJMadden]

The chair is the realist lol...appreciate you watching bro.

[@itsfaithtime]

That skillshare comment! 😂😂 Yess 🙌🙏 and this is such an interesting thought! It's true that someone's I watch other people's videos thinking of how can I edit like that, etc etc but really I think I might be able to learn more by playing with the editing app instead! 😊😊 I am curious though, if you're comfortable sharing, who are the smaller KZbinrs you are watching lately?

[@DanielJMadden]

Quite a few that actually. I'll give a list in a few when I am able to think. Also, I have learnt so much by just playing around and asking others questions.

[@itsfaithtime]

@@DanielJMadden thank you! 🥰🙏 Yes, editing is such a new world for me and some days I love it and get so excited and other days I just feel frusterated 😝

[@DanielJMadden]

I hear you lol. Here are a few KZbinrs I have been watching. In no particular order. 1. Ethan King (KZbin Growth) 2. Kevin Chee (YT Growth & Finance) 3. Majors (Fitness & Motivation) 4. Miss Introvert (Writing) 5. Naturally Told By Mara (Lifestyle) 6. Nicole Minabe (Lifestyle) 7. Nikita J (Lifestyle) 8. PG [Blanks] (Minimalism) 9. Tys & Don (Lifestyle & DYI) 10. Spencers' Vlog (Comedy) 11. The Robinson Family (Comedy) 12. The Tattooed Ronin (Fitness) Maybe you could share some of yours as well. If you're cool with it.

[@itsfaithtime]

@@DanielJMadden love this list! Thanks for including the general channel topic as well 😊😊🙏 and I will! Just took a quick break from work just now to reply to some comments but will reply with my list tonight 🤗🤗

[@itsfaithtime]

@@DanielJMadden Here's my list for smaller KZbinrs I really enjoy watching lately :) but I hope to expand this as I do also spend a lot of time watching some more well known KZbinrs. So I really appreciate the lost you provided for me! 😍 -catherine Perry (YT growth) -project girl boss (YT growth) -mind spaces (personal growth) -jackie em (cultural exploration) -sophia Yuna cheong (personal growth) -sarah nowbloom (life coach) -courtney capano (lifestyle vlogs) (And yess! I always watch Nicole and is just starting to watch PG blanks now because you mentioned it! Liking what I see so far :) thank you!)

[@lgjet3628]

Thanks Daniel. I subscribed. A good message for me. I'm a small youtuber and I should put more content on my channel too.

[@DanielJMadden]

Yeah, it helps with growing for sure. Thanks for watching and subscribing. I post on Mondays and Thursdays.
