How YouTube Changed My Life (with only 500 Subscribers)

[@brendachan6030]

Very authentic! Thanks for sharing your story.

[@creatorsforclimate]

I mean, look at what these past 8 months have been like. Glad to have seen you and the channel grow like taters 🙏🏻 Here's to the next year 🔥

[@orbitforcreators]

Absolutely! Now let's see what we can make with the rest of the year

[@MikeBSalazar]

I first saw your stuff through Justin Espejo. I’m glad to see that you’re continuing on in this journey. More power to you!

[@orbitforcreators]

Thanks Mike, are there any other creators you'd like to see on the show?

[@MikeBSalazar]

@@orbitforcreators Matt D’Avella maybe? Someone popular on KZbin who stopped recently?

[@AlexandraFolwarski]

👏👏👏

[@CJ-Adventures]

Great story. I am a Family channel Made for Kids. Im going thru the struggles too. But whats important. Spending the time and documenting my childs growth. All the while learning how to grow.

[@orbitforcreators]

and don't forget to enjoy the journey

[@DadLifeOfBrian]

I’m doing the same with my channel. Cooking and documenting food memories with my 2 toddlers, glad to meet a dad doing the same :)

[@DadLifeOfBrian]

Me too! Good luck on your journey!

[@orbitforcreators]

@@DadLifeOfBrian just had a quick look at your channel and it looks pretty cozy. Do you make the illustrations yourself?

[@saschaundsebastian]

Congrats to the first and also important milestones/achievements

[@orbitforcreators]

Thank you guys! I still think we should do a round table sometime

[@NickHimo]

Great tip about content creation helping you turn strangers into friends 🙌

[@orbitforcreators]

It's such a power tool for it

[@Myfinancepal]

My channel is brand new and there are so many videos out there saying if you do THIS you will gain 1000 subs in a week! If you do THAT you will go viral! the fact of the matter is it takes work. I have a full time job, very long hours and what little free time I have goes into creating content now. It's a brand new channel, so no views and only a couple subs but I hope my hard work pays off. I do believe youtube plays favourites, but I also believe hard work pays off! Cheers to us small channels!

[@orbitforcreators]

At the beginning it might all seem tough but just keep in mind that there are many more benefits to creating content than fast growth. Good luck on your journey ahead.

[@KeeptheFlow_SM]

First of all, the channel is great. I love your relaxed vibe. I think a combination of face-face and remote might be the best. There’s a different energy when people are in the same room. But I know that’s harder. What platform are you using for the remote interviews?

[@orbitforcreators]

Hey Scott I'm really happy to hear you like the vibe 😃 I've been using riverside for all the conversations so far and really like it.

[@Magical_Makeup_UK]

I struggle with the most basic things like getting my video to show in landscape like this without black borders I’m doomed 😅

[@orbitforcreators]

Looking at your videos you just have to makes sure to edit in landscape. 1920x1080 is usually the setting.

[@Magical_Makeup_UK]

@@orbitforcreators thanks for the tip 🫶🏽

[@LittleSasuke]

Oh and nice video! (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

[@orbitforcreators]

I'm glad you like it

[@LittleSasuke]

I'm just starting to post, and if you happen to pass through Moldova, I'd love for you to interview me too (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

[@japjnl]

Hi, I recently found you (through the MrAlexTech interview), do you have any good tips/videos for people that would like to start as a content creator? (Especially on finding your personal mission/vision)

[@japjnl]

Note I wrote when watching the start of your video, I just realized you have a mailinglist

[@orbitforcreators]

I do share some tools in it that make creating easier. Finding your mission/vision is certainly a process and has taken me a long time but I've been thinking of putting together a set of questions that could help with that. Does that sound interesting to you?

[@japjnl]

@@orbitforcreators yes, questions to help focus my thinking about this will greatly help.

[@juliake88]
