Bars. I think the biggest barrier for people on KZbin is, authenticity. A lot of us grew up watching this platform and saw normal humble humans become larger than life. So now instead of people starting as the human , they start with the façade. And I think the audience is too smart for that.

[@nolanmolt]

Yes yes yes!!! Bro, I miss playing pool with you... Needs to happen again!

[@AtomicPixel]

Well said, Cam. Glad to see your channel growing. Your stuff looks amazing I know you put a shit ton of effort in!

[@DetroitNinja]

I have 935K subscribers. Listen folks, there is a bunch of videos out there like this one that is trending and they are telling you that KZbin is on EASY MODE. They are lying to you. It took me hundreds of video uploads to gain traction and doing it every day for the past 3 years. It's not easy guys. #facts

[@nolanmolt]

My whole point is it takes consistency… so you saying it takes hundreds of video uploads just proves my point. Haha! You didn’t give up. And you stuck with it 🙌🏻

[@MACBoricua]

I’ve been on this over 4 years and close to 700 videos, consistently posting weekly for 3, changing niches 4 times, and what do I get? One word here and there: ‘don’t quit!’ ‘You are amazing’… blah blah blah…. And that for the consistent 10 people that watch truly my videos… just posted one this morning and, like story of my life, 15 views in 3 hours?! Got a friend that does not even know how to talk to a camera and matter what video he posted, get 100’s of views en seconds, and he is not even big! 😡

[@JarrettHolmes]

Consistency for the win. You gotta do the REPS. Like a World Champion in sports. Just do the reps!!

[@jaysaget1280]

@DetroitNinja you have all of those subs and you still don’t have a 500k-viewed video. I have under 7k and I’ve removed viral videos, and I still have a 500k viewed video. Your content doesn’t solve problems for most people on this planet. It seems that the people that complain about KZbin, are the same people that think they should get paid … even though their content isn’t valuable. Find your target audience; find their pain points; solve those pain points by addressing the problems they search for; create a product that would make their life easier; and voila … you’re rich. That takes effort, but it’s not difficult.

[@SubmissionScript]

THINK media should have recognized that you were one of the biggest reasons they went from 500k to over 3M

[@RaynFemaleProducer]

Accountability is a NECESSITY for me. No one around me is working towards similar things or they start off strong and fizzle off. I need SOLID partners.

Gotta keep going!, its harder to get back in the flow when you stop and restart. Thanks for the pep talk 👊🏾

[@nolanmolt]

My man! That's so true, keep going brother!

[@rochellemyles3045]

Yes, please host an accountability group, Nolan! That would be SO HELPFUL!!

[@dayflaubert]

Nolaaaan, I´ve been checking on you since forever! I remember when I watched your movie with your buddies. It was awesome. Can I ask what camera are you using here? big hugs on you and ur family

[@nolanmolt]

Haha that’s amazing!! Thank you 🙏🏻 Sony FX-30 with a Sigma 16mm 1.4 lens and a 1/8 Blackpro mist filter

[@dayflaubert]

@@nolanmolt THANK YOOOUUUUU !

[@gentleandquietliving]

Yes! Consistency, fighting against perfectionism, and giving yourself a limited time block!

[@nolanmolt]

Absolutely essential!

[@EverestMystery]

Thanks Nolan, Thanksgiving was my brief window to take some time off. But, it's back to pedal to the metal. Doing a post now, writing and filming a video this week (for Friday) and planning two livestreams. It's as 'easy' as working hard and being consistent 🎸

[@nolanmolt]

Love it!! Right! haha. Maybe "simple" is a better word than "easy" in this case!

[@fabian_thepulse]

Thanks man I needed this.

[@nolanmolt]

Glad I could help

[@VideoEditing-oj1zs]

This is the #1 problem I'm having on KZbin right now: Perfectionism. The hardest part of the video creation process is recording. I find it so hard to just hit record and start.

[@nonstophorrorofficial]

Honestly, I hadn't even realized you left the Think Media team when I signed up with them. As it slowly dawned on me I got pretty bummed. Loved the work you did over there! Great video.

[@Jd3mf]

Literally I have to say the “just start and don’t stop” thing has been sitting with me alot!! I’ve legit been on auto pilot with that exact situation. I’ve been so discouraged by low views and interactions that I’ve wanted to stop but I literally keep going! I love doing it and pushing through the negative thoughts! Thank you for this as a reminder to what i’m doing thank you!!

[@nolanmolt]

Your perseverance and passion will pave the way to success, keep going!!

[@Jd3mf]

@ I appreciate you Nolan thank you!!

[@aaronglynnwalker]

Nolan's right. I believe I will succeed in my musical-journey because I'm committed to the reps. I'm not trying to be perfect. What you see is what you get. I spend 25 minutes writing chords, lyrics, melodies from scratch, and then I record it and post it. In that time-frame, there's really *no time* for over thinking anything at all. What comes out is what I'm really thinking and feeling - musically, it's my style, it's my playing - it's pure - I'm not 'trying' to write some 'epic' song that has to be JUST RIGHT because my time is so precious. No - you dip into the stream of creativity every single day, and see what you pull up. It might be good, it might suck, it might be unbelievable. What will happen Jan 1 is that I will have THIRTY song ideas (verse, chorus) that I will play back and determine which 3 have actual potential. Which three make me feel good. And I'm not special - if I feel good in the music, there is *someone out there that will feel the same. I'll develop those and move to production. I'll release my music on Spotify. I will have done *the thing central to my identity that I have avoided for over twenty years. So I'm with you Nolan. My page is for bros like me who've dodged their calling for too long. If you're out there and you need to see that happening before your eyes - you can find WalkerMakesMusic on IG. Thanks for this prompt Nolan, keep on keeping on. instagram.com/walkermakesmusic/

[@dadozilla]

Couldn’t agree more and I have experienced it first hand. Like the person you’re talking about, one of my early videos took my channel from 200 to 7k subscribers, got me monetized, and got my next videos to get thousands and even tens of thousands of views. So, of course, I stopped posting for 2 years 😂 I wanted to get back to it, but set up these unnecessary goals for myself that were really just an imaginary hurdle to keep me from JUST FKN DOING IT. So I finally did, I out out a simple video, then another with REALLY low views compared to what I was getting before my break. Then my last video, which I outlined, shot, and edited in a day with the thought “it doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be” went on to get 13k views. It really is simple, and it gets simpler when you realize that most people won’t even see the damn thing, and those who do won’t tear it apart nearly as much as we do when we’re making it. Also seconding the “start with a title”, massively important, my 13k views video had 200 views after 3 days, changed the title, 4500 views overnight. Good stuff man.

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

Nolan, I like this video. I'm usually consistent but I think I fall behind because I spend a lot of time working on one video and sometimes I might go 2 or 3 months without posting because I'm trying to make documentaries. I'd have a lot easier time if I just filmed with my phone or webcam. But I fear it not being rehearsed and I don't want to look like I'm unprepared. I want to start not overthinking it too much going forward.

[@FixItOnTheWay]

Yes, I like making documentaries too but it seems like creators do better if they make lighter content. Fluffier the better. It's almost as if creators need to make an ad that runs for ten minutes. Then KZbin will run another ad on top of that one. Then ideally you tack on a sponsorship ad on top of that. So the video becomes a layer cake of ads.

[@Parts_Guy]

Thank you. This is what I needed to hear. I appreciate how you're still doing KZbin help videos in addition to your business videos.

[@nolanmolt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BrettWhitmarsh]

In ADHD land we call this the need for body doubling. Many of us will do that on a live. Also, one way to get past that perfectionism is to actually talk to someone about the idea and the plan to get it done. As you say, that accountability makes a big difference. You could offer accountability coaching as a service. Also, read Big Magic from Elizabeth Gilbert. The best book on creating

[@60andSane]

Thx Nolan, I found you on Think Media and followed you there and now here. Your advice is HUGE value. We are still here!

[@nolanmolt]

Appreciate it! Glad I can help 😊

[@KeironMo]

This is my first time coming across your channel and I am glad the algorithm brought me here. I just took so much notes and I will apply this today. Just scheduled out my content for the week. Doing the scripting tomorrow and then recording Thursday.

[@nolanmolt]

Awesome, good luck!

[@DaveLinehan]

Thanks Nolan. I remind myself the power of consistency almost daily but sometimes you have to hear it from someone else who's doing it to get that extra spark of motivation.

[@nolanmolt]

You got this!

[@DaveLinehan]

@@nolanmolt thanks man

[@upper90football_]

I would love to get better at being more unscripted in front of camera. That's something you're very good at. I think it's a great way to be more authentic and connect with your audience.

[@nolanmolt]

It’s all about trusting yourself and embracing the moment!

[@BuildwithMooney]

Thanks Nolan! Great advice and I'm guilty as the day is long not making as much content as I could.

[@nolanmolt]

It's a journey, keep going!

[@Beautyinresilience]

Is definitely hard…… but you gotta keep going even if no one watches your videos. Do it because u like doing KZbin

[@unpolishedman]

This is great stuff man, thank you for sharing. Really liked the stuff you put out with think so I’m glad to see you’re doing you own thing and crushing it.

[@nolanmolt]

Thanks! I really appreciate the support!

[@Sharkynocap]

You're doing much better without thinkmedia

[@TaylorWillard]

Oof, I needed this reminder man. You been following me around!?! Ha, definately get stuck in the perfectionism / overthinking trap. And great hack to think of it more like a podcast, thanks Nolan!

[@TimeTravelReads]

I've noticed that the channels that grow have infomercials interrupted by regular ads, and titles that provoke petty, cynical drama. It makes me feel like I need to copy that formula to grow. I don't want to. I want to make book content that isn't clickbait. I don't usually want to cover the popular novels either. Am I trying to do the impossible?

[@IAMCabrini]

Wowzzzza!!! This is some amazing info!! I was thinking “really… at least make the bed!!!” But it’s on point because you just did it and the content is AMAZING. So with this I’ll make my 10 videos!! I was like you.. STUCK in the world of protection too!!! Thank YOU ❤ GangstaChef Cabrini “Let’s Get FED!”

[@nolanmolt]

Glad I can help! Get those 10 videos rolling! 🙌

[@RefreshingRohit]

He's talking about me!! Nolan, that call and the messages holding me accountable, were the catalyst to me posting again. I'm filming and posting in spite of the busy weeks. (For anyone who is hesitating to work with Nolan, stop. He's such a knowledgeable, genuine, helpful person and if you get to work with him, do it!) Thanks again my friend, really appreciate you!

I have a brand new channel called WORK HARD PLAY HARD. It's been about 3 months since my last upload. I've recently decided to take a new approach to all my 90 Plus designs and start creating video content on each one offering in the video some fun unknown facts about each specific design. I'm literally just getting things organized and I'm about to start shooting soon but I wanted to touch base and say thank you for this video. It is very motivational.✌️👍

[@Jeffaloo]

Great video! Can totally relate.

Yes, this was so helpful. I haven't posted in 2 months. The black hole is so real! Sn: You should do a Skool community.

[@yamimady]

Thanks for this, definitely need to hear this. Love your channel

[@nolanmolt]

Thank you, means alot!

[@HIGHVOLTAGE-CAT]

There’s always an exception to the rule, I’m posting and loosing followers lol I got more when I didn’t post anything…. 😅

[@andresjoberg]

Yeah, «simpler» is probably the right word, youtube can be a few things done right, simple things, but not necessarily easy - and even though I’m at 600+ subs and above 2000+ watch time hours after about 8 months of irregular posting making the vids haven’t been easy, but the hard part hasn’t been making the videos, it’s been finding time to do them - the videos are the simple part, finding time to do them has been the hard part, if that makes sense - looking forward to chrsmistnas though, two weeks of doing nothing but vids inbetween that dinner thing and the party-thing - it’s gonna be fun :)

[@nolanmolt]

Glad you think so!

[@sportybeth]

If this one isn’t your own one with all these apparent views then what is it called and why are you posting on this one? I don’t get it. I know you were working for think media but that’s not your channel right. And as far as I can see here you’ve got 20k subs and 800-2k views per video. What’s your other channel called, is it the same niche?

[@nolanmolt]

It’s called Basketball Club

[@MACBoricua]

I know you, you are awesome, but I think this is a lie…sorry, been doing this for over 4 years and f….krs with less brains than anyone else, posting BS videos and blow up in matter of seconds, with nothing… I do post weekly, change niches 4 times, but no matter what I do, I do not get the engagement needed, and refuse to pay to do this, already invest what I can, and see no matter what I do, my locals are always there but I cannot live with 10 subs, out of the alleged 1.1K KZbin say I have… that’s my rant!

[@shepherdwarrior777]

I don’t understand the obsession with the thumbnails. I have seen hundreds of videos with thumbnails that just come from the video it’s self. They get thousands if not tens a thousands of views. No words on the thumbnail, no posses, or graphic art nothing but their video and it sores compared to mine. Are my videos really that bad?

[@GeologyDude]

Blocking your channel b/c this is BS hype

[@be_me_jpg]

said a guy with 5k views xD

[@TheKeyboardSociety]

This is great. Thank you Nolan. 🙏 In regards to connection with others, have you considered creating a Discord server? It’s a fun way to connect with other likeminded creators. 💯

[@nolanmolt]

I have, but I think I might use Skool cause I can host some free courses inside their as well! Do you prefer Discord over Skool?

[@TheKeyboardSociety]

@ I actually haven’t experienced Skool! I’ll have to check that out. 🙂

[@KeironMo]

@@TheKeyboardSociety Skool is such an amazing platform. I stumbled up on like 7 months ago and I will say that I have learned so much in this time than the past 2 years. I used to waste hours a day on YT or IG and now I get the same dopamine hits, but for content.

[@AladinMercer-p2x]

My advice to everyone is this : if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to make investments. Saving is great but investing puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now. With Magnolia Angel, my portolio is doing really great and im proud of the decisions i made last year.
