I didn’t quit Youtube because of this book. (now I have 100K subscribers)

This is a book summary for The Dip by Seth Godin. I almost quit KZbin in early 2024 because I was so frustrated at the lack of results… and in December 2024, I hit 100K subscribers. I didn’t quit because of this book.

As a former influencer with 50K Facebook followers, I quit content creation after engagement dropped post-pandemic and turned to freelancing. My first client taught me a valuable lesson: list your passions and goals (business, career, or dreams), focus on them for weeks/months, then reevaluate. Prioritize the top 3 that yield results and dedicate your energy to them. Lower priorities can still be pursued but should take a backseat due to limited time and energy. Did I quit? No, I just focus on what are providing results.

[@rainbowodysseybyjonlion]

Freelancing of what? Video editing?

[@WhizPill]

Agreed

[@TylerSearFinance]

Very true, content creation is a tough game

[@RockAndDoubleBassWithAaronJoy]

Yeah, exactly right. I've been doing this for years. A long time ago I was working on writing poetry. I gave myself a deadline and did everything I could to be successful in that timeline. If I don't get the response I want: no more. I didn't and switched gears. The new switch actually became successful. No more poetry. I use timelines all the time for anything I'm on. I've seen too many people just start something, not get far, or get something and then bail cause fame and fortune didn't occur day one. I have a book series. The first book I wrote sold 1 copy over 3 months. Most folks said obviously it was a dead project. I said no: I've got ideas for 3 or 4 books, and it won't hurt me to do them. I'll give it a year. 15 years later the series has 55 books, with 3 more in the works, and they've sold thousands of copies around the world. I've had 2 months in the past 10 years with no sales, and for a small press thing with little promotion I've sold 100 in December alone. All from 1 copy in 3 months .... I didn't give up. And, honestly, by the end of the first year I was selling every month.

[@soufeinah4047]

The part about quitting strategically reminds me of something I learned in a course by the comic artist Jessica Abel. She mentioned the concepts of "Idea Dept" - sometimes, we carry around an idea, that grows and grows in our head, it becomes that amazing thing. But we never act on it. And we never touch it, because we know: It will never be as great as it as it is in your mind. She says "When you carry Idea Debt for too long, and your life moves on, is that your idea hangs on like an albatross. You can’t move on to new, exciting, more mature work, because you promised yourself you’d finish this thing." And sometimes these ideas belong to our older self. Maybe it was the business you wanted to do 10 years ago, the book you wanted to write in university. But it's not who you are anymore. We have to truly shake free of them, because otherwise some part of our brains will still be devoted to processing on them at all times. I had that: I had a book idea, I loved it first, but I outgrew the story and I felt so guilty. But I had to admit: This is not who I am anymore, it is not the story I want to tell anymore. I had dragged it too long. And it was the most freeing moment when I finally took down the notes from my walls. My brain was free for new ideas!

My life then took me to other places and I had to declutter from newsletters, unfortunately I signed off of it. Maybe it's time to sign up again...

[@PremierLeagueTactics]

Never heard this before but it makes a lot of sense. I had always wanted to learn coding, but never had enough time to fully take it on. I’d start up every year or so and then stop. After a few years I finally decided that it wasn’t for me and that I had to be happy and move on. It’s strange, but a good feeling and that’s been 5 years now.

Thanks for sharing!!!

[@CooperPagex]

I’m not even done watching this video and I’m getting so much value out of this. Especially the good versus bad quitting. I feel like this is always been one of those topics that most people can never break down, but the fact that you were able to give actionable advice is so relieving. Also, as much as I think that Seth Godin is a super knowledgeable guy, I can’t seem to get through any of his books for some reason. So this was very clutch.

[@djgraish]

Great video! I’m in a dip right now, I had a youtube video that did well and got almost 10k views in 2 weeks, but my next few videos got views in the hundreds. This dip is giving me the opportunity to improve every aspect of my channel so that I’m ready for success in 2025

[@JeffreyLarryEastTexasRealtor]

I experienced the exact same thing. Good luck in your continued growth and building.

[@3dprintmonster]

She looks very cute 😍

[@GamePsychYT]

The idea of the dip being a test or audition is something that has really shifted my mindset. I currently feel like I'm in the dip for my channel as everyday I work super hard to get high quality videos out. I learn a lot each day but because they take a long time to make, my output is not the same as other KZbinrs. However, realising that even though each video comes out once a month that individual video is so much better (at least in my opinion) than the previous one. Whether it's the script, the editing, the title or thumbnail I can see major improvements each time. However, for me the dip is comforting and worrying at the same time as there is no guarantee that one gets out of the dip. Of course the people that do get out of it are the ones who find success but not being able to see the end for a prolonged period of time is very difficult to deal with.

[@dr.gaosclassroom]

I understand if you are making a living from your channel you need to make a return.

[@ElliotGracewell]

congrats on hitting 100k! the dip is such a game-changing book. love how godin distinguishes between "the dip" (temporary setback that leads to mastery) vs "the cul-de-sac" (dead end that won't improve). btw using ai to analyze youtube trends/data has been super helpful for many creators breaking thru plateaus. jenova ai's youtube search feature is pretty neat for finding pattern in successful videos within your niche - helps validate if you're in a dip vs cul-de-sac situation. learned this from working with some creators those early 2024 frustrations definitely sound like a classic dip moment. awesome that you pushed through! 💪

[@E_Tries]

I recall times I thought I was ready… but grateful the dip puts me back in my place. I’m still starting this adventure but I feel like I’m so free right now to practice and create until I’m ready to do more. I will have to check out this book!

[@smitkalamkar8994]

Hi Deya , I am in a dip since a year now , wasn'nt much consistent earlier but now focusing on inputs .I heard the name valley of despair and curve one has to overcome .But this knowledge was much needed at this time you are truly a business friend. Thanks for sharing .

[@VvvvtGaming]

I'm in the dip since i was freelancing so transitioning to KZbin got me immune to this 'dip'. I started December 2024, got 12k hours of views and 48 subs without asking my family or promoting my Channel, wanted it to be organic. Just don't check the analytics from time to time, so i won't feel discouraged and just keep posting. This dip is true and doesn't just apply on youtube but in all aspects of life. To everyone reading, do not quit and hope we all become successful content creators.

[@EnchantedAlchemy444]

To me, the Dip sounds like you do what you can when you feel unheard, and continue being consistent and doing what you’re doing in all forms of daily life. I see this video is more laser focused on this concept, so I like it a lot more

[@dijirepublic]

Beautiful work. Aside from these weeks to months long dips, I've found that some (days) are slower to get started than others too. But you complete one tiny useful task and suddenly have momentum.

[@GigiMS8899]

This a great video! And you know what I love the most? After going to grad school and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on my education (and one year trying to build a corporate career), I suddenly realized I was falling prey to the sunk cost fallacy, as you briefly mentioned in the video. Especially when it comes to educational degrees, SO MANY PEOPLE fall into that fallacy because you spend a lot of time and money to get them. I then decided to completely quit on that plan that was truly making me miserable. After months of doubt, I am now 100% sure it was a good quitting, and I am ready to commit my time to the plans that feel right to me. We are taught to make decisions based solely on rationality and traditional ways of "succeeding in life", but honestly, we should be taught to listen more to our feelings and intuition. That was the greatest lesson I learned after those years spent studying and trying to do something I was not passionate about. My good feelings about an activity/people/project have always guided me in choosing the right path for me. I only run into trouble when I ignore the internal guidance system. Great content. Thanks for sharing!

[@novamatsalla]

This video is gold! Thank you so much for sharing this book! However, I also feel compelled to add that passion can wax and wane. When you first start doing something, you feel this tremendous drive, but at least for me, that initial spark of madness has turned into something less dramatic over time. It's almost like a long marriage. You can't really wait for inspiration to hit, nor should you quit when you start to feel less frantic about your chosen path. I think passion can change and deepen over the course of your journey. It might become less fiery, but perhaps more secure and committed.

So i experienced this with my freelance business I was a social media manager and it definitely was great at first but as time went on it started to take a lot of my time it was 24/7 and it affected my mental health not to mention how difficult clients were to deal with because they expected to make them go viral for minimum pay I decided to give it 6 months give it my all set boundaries and tries to make it work or decide to quit and but at the end i realized for me it's a dead end for me so I quit now I'm a web designer and I'm loving it so far I don't have the same challenges as with smm. Though I think I'm still in the dip but I'm determined to make this work so we will see. It's so important to know when to persevere and when to quit. You convinced me to read this book!! 💙💙

it was lovely to read your comment because I had a similar experience. SMM was terrible for me.

@@takingiteasydaisy glad you reosnated with my comment! Social media is not like before there are updates almost weekly there's a lot of emphasis on video creations and overall more and more competition it needs a whole team not a sole smm.

Thank you for sharing this, Deya. Your videos have been super insightful and inspiring. You're really giving me the push I've needed to get out there and start doing my own thing, whether it's KZbin or freelancing. Thank you!

I am trying to learn software development but I am stuck for few days and I think it's a dip for me and there is definitely good future potential, so now I will try my best to get of this dip towards success. Thanks Deya 😍

Good job, lady. Absolutely stunning video for new youtubers.

[@brightgrowthchannel]

Great perspective. I totally needed to hear this right now. My wife and I are working our way through all the learning challenges of KZbin to get to the point where people will see what we are looking to share. We have been successful and competitive for decades at this point, and we are humbled by the new challenges. I know it will work, it always has, but it's nice to hear others with the same challenges talk about overcoming them. Thanks again :) I'll add one more to your subscriber count.
