Starting on YouTube over 40 (beginner tips & benefits)

[@Ty_Myers]

Are you ready to start? If not, what’s holding you back?

[@anniglass6142]

I have too many ideas. Literally dozens of videos I want to make. They don't all apply to the same audience, though, and I don't want to make one type but not another. My pause is determining what I would want to pursue long term.

[@Ty_Myers]

@@anniglass6142 that is certainly a struggle! assuming you have time, what about multiple channels?

[@anniglass6142]

@@Ty_Myers That's what I'm looking at doing, actually. I just finished the art for the second channel, but I think it may end up being my main one. Who knows 😅

[@Ty_Myers]

@@anniglass6142 nice! it doesn't hurt to experiment, and over time it'll start to click I'm sure (not speaking from experience yet)

#over40 here starting my channel this weekend! I'm excited. Never been a camera guy but idgaf at this point in my life. Thanks for the video, Ty, i love the vlog style. Most of mine will be while I'm driving, at least to start lol

[@Ty_Myers]

Same! Also trying to convince myself that IDGAF :D

[@i_am_jenn]

Been procrastinating about my first video for 5 years now 😂 Good luck with the channel 👍

[@Ty_Myers]

Thanks Jenn! 5 years wow! Are you planning on posting anytime soon? What's holding you back?

[@Tarotyando]

Hi again Ty. I am following you since your first video. You inspired me to keep on doing it. I am also an over 40 , i been doing videos and shorts for about 2 months now. I am sure we can do it!!! Congrats and i will be watching your future videos 🎉

[@Ty_Myers]

Keep it up Vere, thanks for watching. You've got this!

[@jerryGolddd]

watced the whole thing!! :D

[@Ty_Myers]

What's up Jerry!

[@nickstaebel4521]

Great message! Was just curious if you had anybody in your personal life that inspires you?

[@Ty_Myers]

Perhaps! Can't mention his name though or he'll get a big head.

[@marko1314]

Nice one Ty - Congratulations on your first VLOG mate 🎉 - I recently posted one on our Bootcamp too - I found it wasn't as uncomfortable to do as l'd previously imagined either 🙂

[@Ty_Myers]

Thanks Mark! Been testing out differently styles of videos :D I appreciate you dropping by!

Great video! #peopleneedpeople!!! Thanks for the reminder and inspiration!

[@Ty_Myers]

Thanks so much :D I appreciate you checking out this video!

[@erldude]

This is good. We have a lot of similar thoughts, I was planning on doing a similar video (probably not as good, haha)to this when I finished my 30 videos in 30 days challenge. Will subscribe and follow along since we are on similar journeys. Good start man ! Thanks for sharing.

[@Ty_Myers]

Nice Erl! Are you doing like a 30 day talk to camera bootcamp/program type of thing? I did a 5 day one with Thomas Norman and it helped quite a bit. I started doing daily vlogs similar to what you're doing (I don't post them though, I do it for the practice) Keep up the great work!

[@erldude]

@Ty_Myers thanks man. I'm just doing 30 in 30 talk to the camera. My own thing. I saw a video from someone and thought it was a good idea. When I started I didn't realize there were programs etc.

[@Ty_Myers]

@@erldude I might have seen the same thing you saw. It was a KZbin video tracking the progress of somebody who did a 30 day talk to camera thing. For me, that's been the biggest hurdle is how awkward I get when I turn the camera on. Good on for you sticking with it though.

[@erldude]

@Ty_Myers thanks you. Thought u did great in your vid. Keep it up. Take care

[@JamesMurphyYT]

I've gone away from production values and now just talk to the camera from wherever I am. You're doing great by the way! #over60!

[@Ty_Myers]

Thanks James! I appreciate you sir :D

[@HealthandWealth-2024]

Liked and commented. I started over again about 2 weeks ago. Just doing it.

[@Ty_Myers]

I love it. Awesome job on your last video! Looks to be taking off quite a bit 💪

[@HealthandWealth-2024]

@@Ty_Myers yeah I'm excited to watch us both grow.

[@SharrodVisuals]

I just started at 34, not quite 40 but also not quite gen Z 😂 You got my sub 👍🏻

[@Ty_Myers]

Sharrod I'm somewhere in between as well. I'm technically Gen X but I identify mostly like a millennial. I like to call myself an "elder millennial" :D

[@HomesteadMadeEz]

Great video! I was inspired by Alexa Saarenojaa to create a similar video encouraging people to start a KZbin channel over 40. However, if I'm being honest, I'm not over 40 yet.

[@Ty_Myers]

She’s been amazing to watch grow. I appreciate you checking out my take.

[@wilmerwoodworks]

#over40 🤣I watched some of your other videos but found this very relatable! My kids sometimes laugh about Dad's YT Channel, but maybe not so much once it's monetized. 😂

[@Ty_Myers]

hahaha one day they'll see :D

[@BlackAndBlueGarage]

I got a year and a half to go till 40 but I feel 55 😆. I'm always out of breath but it's a service connected disability 🙄

[@Ty_Myers]

Thank you for your service! And some days I feel 55 as well haha
