the reality of being a new YouTuber (less than 500 subscribers)

What is your biggest struggle as a new youtuber? 🤔

It's not easy giving so much of yourself, putting in time and even getting encouragement from certain people who see the effort and love the content, but if the numbers don't match, you feel disappointed. It's strange, since you want to create stuff you enjoy yourself, but then again you publish it for others, so it's particularly sensitive and one suddenly starts becoming externally motivated which can be a slippery slope. But I enjoy your content! And looking forward to the next one! May both your bucketlist and your videolibrary grow over time🔥

Such a messy whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. It’s such a slow growth compared to other social media platforms, but I actually find that very refreshing too. Thank you!! 🫶

yeah agree not easy, i felt kinda depressing at first coz im looking at numbers (how no one subs on my channel, how almost no one watching my vlogs after all my hardship on editing lol, etc) but it changed after i recalled why i really started, i mean my original purpose -- it was to capture and treasure memories with fam, friends and everyone keep going girl! 😊

Thank you 🫶 Yes, exactly! I think you need to be genuine to make the best content, and that will eventually turn into growth. Happy to hear that it has worked for you!!
