the OTHER 50% no one talks about | Chase Jarvis RAW

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

When I am really down, I just open your videos and watch and listen. Sometimes the same videos again and again. For example, this one. Every time I find a new meaning. A new direction. Thank you Chase... for inspiring the world. More strength to you... 🙏🙏🙏

[@ChaseJarvis]

Ah man, that means the world. Thanks for being a part of this community! 🙏🏼

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

@@ChaseJarvis Happy to be a part 🙏🙏🙏

[@Bankfoto]

This is a very important 50% we all need as content creators. Especially for those of us who are just getting into it and figuring it out along the way. Thanks Chase

[@CostaMesaPhotography]

Your advice is spot-on, your enthusiasm, energy, and passion are contagious. Saying thank you seems like too small a response, but it's genuine and heartfelt...you are making a positive difference--so thank you!

[@CodyAsh]

Chase, to start off this is great. I love the Raw vids, they give me a good nugget to think about. I'll tell you this, I am a creative by heart but still supporting the family with a regular 9-5. The message in here is exactly the same. I've had immense success in my job by following this mantra. It's not the same activities, but same ideas. In general, I do the following: 1. Stay close to interesting people who do good work 2. Engage in 1x1 sessions with VP's and the like to find out what they do, how they got here, why they love their job (or not) 3. Talk to people who don't have a clue what I do. Get the conversation going with sales when you're in services, marketing with engineering. Cross-pollinate yourself and soon enough, you find yourself working with these people and they know who you are already and want to collaborate with you instead of building barriers 4. Find time to invest in yourself. Read blogs, tech posts, newsletters. Comment. Engage! Study a topic or take some new training that will help you. (art of negotiation, how to win with positivity, creative problem-solving...) 5. Always be responsive. Show up, participate, be reliable. People love it, even if you're so busy, that you just reply, say I'm working on it, then do it. Provide an accurate timeline to get the work done, and hit that deadline. Keep up the great work. Your journey evolves. If you think that you'll just take pictures, paint, create music all your life, you're wrong. You'll promote, engage, market, attend shows, teach others, and give back. It's what makes you successful, being that well-rounded human.

[@tonymurphy9112]

So true, it's hard graft....patience, work it, never stops.... Chase you are the man. Thank you 👍

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx tony. it's a long long game if you want to win.

[@JPKalliomusic]

I think this episode should be a must watch for anybody who ever wanted to be an artist. Powerful stuff!

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx brother. pls share!

[@OnMyMemoryCard]

This is one of the best Raw episodes. Thank you!

[@TheBiggervern]

Thank you Chase. Wise words from someone who has been through it and is successful.

[@rva]

is this Bradley Cooper's brother? love this!

[@NathanShirksvideos]

Chase you are so solid. Practical actionable advice delivered with integrity and sincerity. I needed this thanks!

[@RutgerRog]

You're right. And I should start doing it more. Thanks, Chase.

[@CJFfishingchannel]

I have to agree with some in saying this is the best RAW in a while :) awesome!

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx you. i get juice from you sharing and telling me this. #gratitude for your comment.

[@CJFfishingchannel]

You're welcome brotha

[@JayAcunzo]

I am sending this to a million and two people. So necessary. Thanks for letting it rip in this one, Chase -- Happy New Year!

[@ChaseJarvis]

Thx Jay. you know this to be true already - thx for sharing and HNY!

[@rafaelsmazzer]

Man, i'm loving your videos. There's so much to learn here, especially about ourselves.

[@S18photography]

Chase, hard to quantify just how much inspiration I've gotten from your videos like this over the past year, through good times & more than a few ruts. Big thanks & tons of #Gratitude man. Cheers to an awesome 2017!

[@ChaseJarvis]

appreciate it. more to come!

[@kineticsoul22]

Amazing advice, exactly what Chase was talking about happened to my instagram account! Grew my engagement over half a year (to around 400 likes/10 comments) and then I got lazy and stopped developing/contributing consistently. When I had gotten back to posting regularly it I felt like the new content I was putting up was so much better than before and yet I was getting 1/3 the engagement. Really regret taking my foot off the gas, stay hungry people - put in the work and the results will come in time!

[@jaredmotopnw]

Thanks, Chase. 100%. I've been a Sr. Copywriter for close to 10 years now, working with some of the best, most respected brands on the planet and... Lately, I've found that so many people want to earn the most amount of money for the least amount of effort. Forgetting you'll make the most amount of money putting in the maximum amount of effort.

[@maremiru]

For years many people thought this process of seeding your digital content would be digital in the sense of remote, even virtual. Agree totally, nothing beats personal presence, authenticity, resonance. Some virtual or remote meetings supporting and amplifying your activities.

[@andrewgaluppo9391]

I try to watch this every once in a while as a reminder. Great stuff!

[@ChaseJarvis]

Nice! It's a game changer. 💯🚀

[@JussiTarvainen]

This was so welcome in my life right now. Thank you Chase. Second source that I respect I hear this inside a week and it's making it's way through my thick skull :) I mean it is obvious and almost even too obvious. We see all these successful people like yourself and we want to be successful, yet we forget/don't realize that your success isn't an overnight thing. You've been working on your photography craft for decades I presume and Creative Live etc. marketing stuff for years and years. The illusion of success tomorrow is a waste of time. Gotto sign up for the long run or not at all. Thanks bro, keep inspiring, creating and sharing dem nuggets :)

[@Rambleswithmycameraonyoutube]

I like these straight talking off the cuff hit record videos with no BS tuff love messages far better than scripted planned videos with smoke and mirrors, as it gets you to see the real heart/mind of the man/woman behind the words, not the carefully manufactured facade sadly that many KZbin channels have become - Well done man - Love from Ireland Sean

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx you !!!

[@IssarCerrato]

Yes!!! I´m putting the work.. and learning and being patience... I need to participate more though... thanks Chase+team for the work you doing.

[@PiXimperfect]

Issar Cerrato yeah, participating is what was totally missing from my daily creative process.

[@MichaelPorterfieldPhotographer]

Love the practical advice in this one, it makes for a killer reality check when your giving real life examples. Long-time fan!

[@ChaseJarvis]

Thx you!!

[@AggieAdrian]

this was very informative and some "tough love" . . I needed it. thank you!

[@jamesstewart3012]

loved the advice from all your vids...this one in particular...hard for some to take...I know me personally, we see some people who seemingly make it look SO easy...where others such as myself struggle sometimes, it causes you to wonder HOW they do it...and you have to put in the work...thank you!

[@johnvarone94]

My favorite part of every video is the guy that screams, "JARVIS!" in the intro

[@ChaseJarvis]

hah. right before i get hit with that huge wave on the bow of the boat ;) saved my life!

[@matthagge4792]

I've had this feeling, intuition, about this exact idea for a little while now and it's so, so nice to see someone like you who's gone through and still on top of the game confirm it. My KZbin, 500px, Flickr, and Instagram are nothing if I don't also engage with my community and also other creators. It's really hard when you're traveling like me, but I think engaging with other creators is just as important as engaging with your audience. The community is a two way street.

[@ChaseJarvis]

so true.

[@dazzlingvisions]

Like the Create-Share-Sustain model, will try to do this in 2017, thanks!

[@eb-art5608]

Love this. So true. A constant work in progress...

[@MitchMcCann]

One of the most succinct and actionable formulas for success (not a guarantee). I'd suggest that the second 50% is likely going to at least feel like 75-90% of the work, because that first creative part is likely the passion and the second half is the huddle that makes it pay (whether literally or figuratively). For me of course the first 98% is getting started, then 1% of doing/finishing it, and the last 1% of hustle.

[@samjaxx.notshtsystems2956]

Really actionable and helpful - get out there, take action and start interacting with people! Love it

[@PhotographyTVcom]

This is really good advice, and definitely something I will be working on. Looking forward to putting it into action! Engagement + Patience. Thanks Chase!

[@ChaseJarvis]

yes! hope to see in the comments more in 2017!

[@YoelPama]

Love this man and his work. Keep it up and stay awesome.

[@thechevaunshow]

Thanks for shaking things up, Chase!!

[@BazookaTooth707]

The most important thing you suggested was participation. Most people don't want to market their channels and join the community. They're not willing to build up a community and we all know that takes time. Very few will catch a lucky break and most that do don't have a loyal fan base

[@ChaseJarvis]

so true. making and sharing from your mom's basement does not equal participating. gotta put yourself out there. everyday. for years. and then the magic STARTS to happen.

[@chrishaywood]

This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thanks for the message

[@VEDUPADHYAY]

solid advice. it's like we're talking and nobody is listening..we need to do the listening actively if we want to be heard. participate in the conversation.

[@ChaseJarvis]

yep - gotta to ALL the work. not just some of it ;)

[@PiXimperfect]

My first step to participating is this comment itself. Thanks Jarvis!

[@ChaseJarvis]

the perfect start. now keep it up!

[@PiXimperfect]

Thank you so much for replying! I wasn't expecting that.

[@xavibaragona4501]

Good advice Chase! Sometimes it's so frustrating trying to get succes, but we need to keep on paddling! As a start way to follow your advice, first time I comment one of your videos!

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx Xavi. agreed. the struggle is real. keep at it. would love to see you more in my feed.

[@alejandroperezcars]

Thanks, thanks and thanks. A lot of people feel or think that only create the .inc is the end and not part of the way.

[@ChaseJarvis]

only half way there = only half success ;)

[@baatour]

Awesome RAW episode​. I got a question for you Chase. how to concentrate on only one thing? I love so many things to do to the point I can't stop my self from jumping back and forth between them every single day. Honestly I learned a lot in each subject but you got to do something consistently to make a living out of it and this is something I can't achieve it yet because my lists of interest is: Photography, filmmaking, graphic design, web development, mobile development and the list goes on and on.... Hit me hard Chase! Hit me hard! I love to hear the truth behind this uncertainty because I can't pick one thing!

[@liontarolikos]

John Jayson Abandoning one passion for another doesn't really make sense, in my opinion. Especially in the creative field. The best thing you can do is figure out how all these things can work together. Photography, videography, graphic design, etc... they don't have to be separate things but pieces of the puzzle that together create something truly yours and truly unique. Go for it.

[@PureboilersUk]

John, you risk spreading yourself too thinly. Someone mention the 70/20/10 principle, when you split your time using that method, 70% on the main thing, 20% on the secondary thing and 10% on the 'new' or 'higher risk' thing.

[@ninceur]

Wonderful insights here! I rarely (if ever) hear advice that participation in community is as essential as the work of creating. I needed this, thanks :)

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx sean. it's the recipe no one is talking about for sure...

[@RekoMoreno]

Another great video, love your advice, definitely taking it and running with it. Keep them coming.

[@wilbmoore]

Chase you're on point. You gotta be in it to see it grow. Every farmer has to till the ground.

[@ChaseJarvis]

forever. truth.

[@Epicvaibhav]

Hey Chase! Thanks for the video, i love all the stuff you put efforts in. 80% of photography i know is because of creativelive, thanks again for giving life to creativelive. Love You!

[@ChaseJarvis]

yes! that fuels me. would love to hear more about how CL has helped.

[@MylesShank]

Great advise man - Appreciate you taking time to make this videos!

[@gavinhall4112]

Hey Chase, great rant - a perfectly timed kick in the butt. Many of us could to with going into 2017 with a new attitude. There was an interesting video doing the rounds recently where this guy talks about the problems many millennials are having in life - lack of patience was one of the big ones!

[@ChaseJarvis]

yea - saw that, love Simon Sinek!

[@SamFigueroa]

"If you sit back: Fuck all will happen" Love this quote.

[@kelemi2945]

I can come to that answer on my own, but it's great to hear it voiced. Thank you.

[@ChaseJarvis]

appreciate it. 🙏🏻 sometimes we need to hear it multiple ways before we put it into action.

[@joshuataff3918]

Thanks, Chase. I'm a little late to the party on this post, but anyway... The content that you share is always relevant to my goals; be it in terms of personal or professional growth. The tech and creative end of photo/lighting is something I've had confidence in for years, the marketing and social element, not at all. Anyway, it's all incredibly helpful and I feel like even when I'm sitting, zoned in on editing and not really paying attention, I'm getting better through osmosis. Thanks, brother.

[@ChaseJarvis]

Thanks for the kind words. Humbled and glad to be of service.

[@NickGranville]

Always inspiring Chase, thanks. 🙂

[@masaytaka]

Wow, that's contagious enthusiasm! Thanks :)

[@kevinoconnell6515]

Thanks Chase! Good solid, passionate advice.

[@StephenEMcKee]

Experiment for yourself "N of 1" . Master something new. Be a leader and organize. Share your knowledge and work with your growing community. Repeat. All of us who have grown a community did it by taking a leadership role and giving away all our knowledge.

[@ChaseJarvis]

hell yes

[@kylesmith7730]

This is great raw content! Insightful thoughts!

[@davidwilderphoto]

Great insight for sure. It's tricky to get your work out there. I've been working for years and wondering what I'm missing. I've finally started submitting my work to galleries and festivals. Going to events and getting together with others and all of this I've noticed has pushed things forward. The hardest thing I find is how to get the right audience to be engaged. But I think I have a plan for that. Now I have to figure out how to turn engagement into a source of revenue. IE gallery visits and website hits into sales. That's where I'm stuck.

[@joelvalle3548]

This is strange, but although hearing it many times before it took me seeing your passionate "I'M TIRED OF HEARING THIS QUESTION" rant to stop half assing my approach. This is the first video I have seen you kinda mad and I'm grateful for it.

[@haikushack]

Fantastic tips and straight talk! Thank you for this. If you are just on social media to toot your own horn, you won't get far.

[@itzrainyday]

I don't understand why you only get 9k view for this video, it's a very good video for inspiring people to move forward and I learned a lot from it! keep Up With the Chase!

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx brother. Please share if you think it can help someone else.

[@anthonymcleanvideo]

Great insight! Thanks Chase!

[@blackadee26]

i hear you ! thx !

[@stevesaunders9521]

Thanks Chase

[@bradydyer]

Wholly crap this video is the first RAW video I've watched that's REALLY made sense to me! ah - you're so right... it's the other 50% that I've been lacking in!

[@ChaseJarvis]

Thx Brady - hope you put it into action.

[@oliviabossert]

Can't agree with this more. I need to comment much more than I do! Needed to hear this

[@tailong9548]

@Chase, what is the work you speak of? Just talking and interacting with folks on and offline?

[@chaseontwowheels]

Tell um like it is man!

[@ChaseJarvis]

trying ;) thx for the subscribe.

[@DarrenTun]

Great advice, thank you Chase!

[@shayishere6812]

You have to do the work! comment, check out what other people are doing, show them that you care about what they do before asking them to engage

[@LiveInLatvia]

Thank you for the great content! Patience is the key :)

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx kristine. appreciate your comment.

[@_kyle]

PREACH. exactly what i needed to hear and have re-affirmed. subbed!

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx for subscribing!

[@TheMinderEngineer]

Put in the work. Couldn't be more true!

[@Sblackphoto]

Fabulous Video, I have been dabbling in the past couple of years but i'm getting myself into gear this week and iv changed my mindset. Its my leave time from my job and iv been spending it wisely working on my website and making it smarter and more presentable. How do you find the 25th hour in the day? The last few nights. Iv been involved so much in my progress that i skipped sleeping altogether on Tuesday night, then had 4 hours Wednesday and last night i didn't want to stop but wanting progress to be sustainable so last night i went to bed at responsible time but didn't wait for the 7am alarm i got up after 5 hours in bed was not asleep but was telling myself your idea (spend 8 hours in bed even if its just lying there but that was frustrating as my head kept progressing with inspirational ideas to put into practice. Im casting the videos and having breaks for 15 min every hour and a half. but even then im doing house stuff. Thanks Steven.

[@realjackbronco]

Wonderful video that really explains this concept well. It is funny to me when I minutely talk about the creative and the work that it takes. The work daily over a long stretch of time to gain trust which then gains traction. Far too many people think that there is a secret to success, luck (think lottery) or that somebody had more money than them to push. Well, in my humble opinion (just like it is when I cook or make my BBQ) if your heart is not in it - no amount of anything is going to make you 'the next big thing' Does it get frustrating? The reason it gets frustrating to me is KNOWING that people are falling for the gimmicks and I'm like - "I"M RIGHT HERE!!" Otherwise it's head down and keep humping. Long way around the barn to say thanks for your content I reckon...

[@travisalexphoto]

The mentality of Instant Success is most certainly a large facet of it.

[@BrianAnderson-7]

the best RAW you've ever done ;)

[@ChaseJarvis]

Thx Brian. It's all there for the taking....gotta grab it.

[@MiloszKowal]

Finally, someone speaking about the shit no one wants to talk about. You think that all the famous photographers just got famous because they took a good shot? No way! They put in the work to make themselves known. Personally, I'd rather be a 7/10 photographer and a 10/10 businessman than the other way around, just so I can keep doing what I do and get paid for it.

[@ChaseJarvis]

true dat bro. true dat.

[@JovanaMiljanovic]

Agreed :)

[@mintslice2214]

dude i love the soundtrack and the wisdom is fucking bang on

[@cllgscreative]

This is dope. I feel this. I'm not working hard enough. I'm getting freaking pumped to work! I'm getting juiced! I'm going out right now! I'm freaking participating right now!!!! BYAAAAAAAAAAO!!!!!!!!!

[@TheSmartguy247]

Word.... Powerful stuff man.

[@Lantzsensei]

You know I found you throngh DigitalRev and kinda let you fall through the cracks. That is until I started looking for photographers to stalk online and learn from... and try to emulate/copy then I re-discovered you and RAW. This is wonderful advice and a good video. I am having fun binge watching your other videos, too. I am pretty sure the video "what are you doing with your life" has about 30 views from me alone. Thanks for your videos, keep it up please. If you end up in Northern Japan someday I hope I could run into you. Thanks again. Austin "Lantz Sensi"

[@neilmckinlay]

Solid video man, respect ✊🏻

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx neil. appreciate your participation in this community!

[@robertmcneal77]

I agree with you 110%, Chase👊🏽

[@akafob]

Quote of the day. Success is temporary!

[@tomyoungblood270]

Great post chase! Thanks man 👌

[@PierreTL]

Hey Chase. Just discovered your YT channel. Superb content! Love the advice. We are all very impatient in life, that is what drives us to work more and faster. Truth is only the ones who are in for the long run will win - consistency is key! Keep inspiring us ;-)

[@ChaseJarvis]

welcome Pierre! great to have you here. Totally agree -- consistency is critical

[@ledgejigsaw]

I think a lot of people feel that making the next viral video/picture or whatever will mean they will be the next chase jarvis/Gary v/casey neistat but these guys have all put in endless hour's to build an audience, from nothing. patience and consistency are defiantly your biggest assets when building an online audience

[@ChaseJarvis]

most people will never have any idea how much work it takes. for those that do... the rewards are there for the taking.

[@ledgejigsaw]

Chase Jarvis I couldn't agree more, all the best things in life whatever they are take a lot of hard work and dedication

[@mjann98312]

BOOM. Yes, this. Plus bonus points for #seattle. Shared.

[@lisabakker-schmidt5891]

wooow you just kicked my a** so much with your message. gosh you are so right. the truth feels pretty uncomfortable but it's great. thank you so much!

[@prairieparry]

Needed to hear this. Thanks! :)

[@ChaseJarvis]

glad it was here when you needed it. 🙏🏻

[@BradChmielewski]

Nice video, think everyone needs to remind themselves of this every few weeks.

[@carolineandtigger]

We really like your channel. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

[@tcballa05]

Very well put Chase! Hope I have the pleasure of meeting you some day.

[@ChaseJarvis]

it will happen

[@BeatboxRayUAE]

Wow Bradley Cooper is also a great photographer and inspirational speaker!! :O

[@MarkusMovies]

So now I am participating digitally and writing this comment: Thanks for the good advices Mr. Jarvis!

[@ChaseJarvis]

great. let me see you in my comments and likes on every platform for months...i will remember who you are, never forget, and will look for your stuff elsewhere in the process. that's how all this works. i promise you.

[@MarkusMovies]

Challenge accepted! Also, thanks for the reply :)

[@cecilecarreon273]

so true.

[@malinrandeniye4448]

I have been thinking about this for my own business and I have experienced what you talking about. Right now I'm questioning wether it is worth the time to build my own audience in social media. After all my goal is to bring income to my business and I just partnered with a huge company that put my product in the hands of thousands of people. So I guess the question is if you build your own thing or team up with others or both. I don't really know the answer yet but what do you guys think?

[@CodyAsh]

I think both are important. keep promoting that teamwork and partnership. It will lead to other conversations later which people will ask "who have you worked with?". Keep it up!

[@HerrFrederik]

so true. It's right in front of them but sometimes someone needs to step up and just say it! 👊🏻

[@swardinc]

I love the fact others are talking about this Chase, people are like so if i do the work now that it? I'm like no, you will get returns but then tomorrow and the next day really hinges on what you did/do yesterday and today. Although the same can be said about investing money into the business, you will have that one person ask but why should i spend $1000 on this course? Notice first he does not say invest $1000 into making his business better? The way i look at investing money is that i expect a 10x to 100x over the life time of the business. For example if you spend a $1 then i expect over the course of the life time of the business to make $10 to $100 from that training.
