I uploaded my first ever video today and it was probably the hardest thing I have ever done. I know that the video sucks, but that's okay. I have overcome perfectionism, self-doubt, the fear of starting, the uncomfortability of learning new things, overthinking and imposter syndrome on the way. If anyone here has been thinking about starting a channel for a while without taking action, don't let your mind stop you.

[@ericrobertsmusic]

Congrats! Keep it up!

[@AshtonJoe]

that is HUGE! so proud of you

[@Jesslee444]

Make the video public again i want to support!

Well done, that’s brave. I literally did the same thing two days ago. It felt kind of liberating to not overthink it. 😄

how do you only have less than 2.5k subs??? tf?? the cinematography is chefs kiss?? the videos are short?? the editing?? i feel like i just stumbled upon a hidden gem

[@frostytipsasmr]

i know you'll be a really big content creator someday, 100k plus subs, i can feel it, mark my words!

[@bimatvug]

Damn right he will.. 🎉😂

[@AshtonJoe]

haha love you guys

[@adriennbaris]

It is hard, especially if you are an introvert. It is so difficult to show your personality and create authentic content when you are a calm and peaceful person, trying to pop up in the sea of retention-edited videos. But! The good news is that there is definitely an audience for this slower and more chill content. Thanks for the nice video!

[@ellensartworks]

Hi! Just found you through this comment, here's a sub!✌ I'm a fellow artist trying to make it online. Can I ask how you come up with art topics to talk about because I struggle with coming up with new topics all the time, I feel being an art KZbinr can be a little limiting, like compared to a gaming channel, that can talk about new games, play new games, review games. The options seems unlimited.

[@adriennbaris]

@@ellensartworks Hey, thanks a lot! I'll definitely swing by your channel too. It's true, keeping fresh topics coming up all the time can be a bit of a challenge in the long run. For me, it helps to categories the ideas: 1. Practical Tips: I try to remember the struggles I faced when I was starting out and make videos about those. And the new things that I just learnt. You don't have to be miles ahead; just being one step ahead can make a big difference for someone else. 2. Mindset and Motivation: I pay attention to my own emotions and experiences, whether it's overcoming obstacles or feeling success. Those moments often spark great ideas. 3. Sharing My Journey: the tough times, better days, or my plans. This one can be quite personal. 4. Process Sharing: showing how I create. I'm constantly soaking up inspiration from other KZbinrs and podcasts that tackle similar topics. It's a great way to stay connected and get fresh ideas flowing. Hope this helped. I wish you a lot of success. 😊

[@muchlovebymel]

Felt!!

[@XZ858XZ]

Great topic. I just joined the ranks towards your growing subscriber count 👍🏽

[@PhillGraaf]

agree, I also think that these people might take longer to get where they want to get, but in the long run the subscriber base is so much more valuable.

[@kjdoesit]

YT promoted this to me this morning as I'm sitting here trying to come up with more compelling ideas because I'm trying to grow my channel too. Literally just starting out. And there are a lot of good points covered here and I appreciate you. Thank you for the inspiration to keep going.

So glad this came across my YT! I needed to hear this today! Just going to focus on taking my channel one step at a time, and learn to be ok with the uncomfortable parts! Thanks so much!

[@TheCreateOutdoors]

Consistency has been the bane of my existence. I've tried a bunch of different ways to be consistent but I just can't seem to make it happen.

[@AshtonJoe]

been there. just look at my publish dates before this year - all over the fkn place. what helped me was looking inward and digging to find the deeper purpose behind it all. it’s the main key to consistency

[@uggym674]

Producing the visuals are the bane of my existence

[@natashapbooks]

keep going Ashton, you are very authentic and genuine and i always click on your videos. i have a 3K channel myself, the magic of having a KZbin channel is you think you're trying to help others but at the end, as the time goes, you'll notice you were the one who benefited the most. Talking & sharing is extremely therapeutic and helps you & others get clarity on what the f*ck is going on & what this life is about 😊. Best!

[@iamjethrobill]

Thats beautiful.

[@AshtonJoe]

Thanks Natasha 😊 and I agree with ^ Very beautifully said. Cheers and don’t stop creating!

[@jeremiahcamps6368]

Just uploaded my first video over the weekend, and honestly this is fantastic advice. I really wish I had watched this video months ago, and maybe I wouldn't have waited so long to get started. Even after editing it down and getting it just like I wanted it, all the self doubt crept back in and I almost didn't upload it. This is really really good advice! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@siberrica]

A person laughing at the person trying is miserable...I agree so much!

[@Mario.Penchev]

I got told people wouldn’t be engaged if I make videos just talking to a camera without multiple shots and angles. This video proved them wrong. I was engaged, and I’m sure others are too.

[@AshtonJoe]

haha I love that. Idk about you but I can't stand when there are too many cuts + flashy edits. sh*t is annoyingggg

[@LindaUrban]

My biggest mistake as a small youtuber was to assume that what I was trying to do had to be new. In reality, the topics that have worked more often are not only the biggest growth drivers, but also the ones with which you can have the biggest impact on the audience. So you don't have to shine with new ideas all the time, it often makes much more sense to use existing topics and just do 1-2 things differently or add another point. The next mistake was to think I had to go 10, 20 or even 100 steps further to be allowed to talk about a topic. The reality is that you only need to be a single step further than those you want to help. If you have gone too far, it can happen that you are too far away and the audience no longer understands or is less connected. Greetings Linda

[@AshtonJoe]

pure gold in this comment. thanks for sharing Linda! taking notes

[@lindahumbu8639]

Thank you I am also Linda..😂❤

[@wordsoflife42]

3:27 "and if they do, that's not the audience for you" exactly. That's worth 1000 cents 😅

[@EatwithM.E]

I’m 2 minutes in and I already resonate so much of what you’re saying. It does feel vulnerable showing the world who you are. Creating the content. Hitting publish and then see that out of 1.7k people only 100 are willing to see who you are what you have to offer. What keeps me going is the art of being creative. Using that side of my brain that isn’t normally stimulated in my regular 9-5. Thank you for the video and you gained a new sub

[@AshtonJoe]

Cheers my man. And that’s such a great point.. expressing your creativity is so special for the soul. Happy to have you here 🤝

[@joebrosales]

You make really good points. I resonated with the “nobody gives a fuck” when I started I worried so much about people finding my videos and laughing at me. Now I don’t give a fuck. It really doesn’t matter what people think! Thanks for this video.

[@AshtonJoe]

it’s such a great muscle to build man. glad you resonate. cheers brother!

[@VladimirKostek]

Definitely helpful to kind of set it and forget it, in terms of moving on to the next video. If you dwell on the last video (doing very well or poorly) you will delay yourself and get creator's block.

[@AshtonJoe]

yep, straight up self-sabotage yo

[@AndrewRauch00]

Dude this is exactly what I needed to hear. Extremely relatable and I believe the fact we are exposed to so many different people with different skills they've built over the years, we put that pressure on ourselves to be like them while we are on our own timeline. Thank you Ashton what a wonderful video!

[@AshtonJoe]

yes I agree, that can definitely get in the way. it’s just a distraction. much love man, thank you 🙏🏼

I recently picked up my camera again to shoot a talking head video after taking a break for over 2 years. I was consuming too much content and felt stuck. Once I finished the video it felt so good to have it done. My next step is to post it but I'm scared to get comments like "oh look at this guy being a motivational speaker"

[@AshtonJoe]

that voice will always live in your head if you allow it. imagine if there's one person out there who will receive a ton of value from your video - keep that person in mind and do it for them. and if you get haters, the fact that they're taking time out of their day to watch + comment means you're doing something right lol

[@AshtonJoe]

thank you

[@KaylarMedia]

I want to create content, but I find myself critiquing my own thoughts before I can even get them out. For so long, the fear of being perceived even stopped me from writing comments on videos like these, that really resonate and impact me. One day, hopefully, I'll figure it out. But for now, I want to say thank you for your thoughts! I love your style and appreciate the breakdown of your recording gear. I especially love that Purrell quote - it's so true, and there's nothing wrong with that. Growing up, I never allowed myself to use reference photos when drawing because "I was either good or I wasn't". I had this deep rooted belief that everything I did had to be completely on my own, or I was a horrible person. And guess what? I never truly pursued drawing or the arts, because instead of practicing and learning, I just gave up because I didn't have that natural magic. Who knows where I would've been. I don't want to have that same feeling 10 years from now, about KZbin and photography.

Hey Ashton, I see you from Venezuela. I've been watching your channel for a while, it's incredible how 20 minutes go by quickly, I don't realize. I really like your content and especially your words. Seeing your mindset is a very great power when it comes to reaching any type of goal, and you will achieve them all. Even though I have been on KZbin for the Spanish language for 3 years, I watch North American channels and I came across your channel by chance and I was delighted (marveled). You are at the height of many large canals in your country. For example, with this video alone, you have taught me how to improve my setup using my living room and have a little more peace of mind when speaking in front of the camera. Thank you for not giving up and transmitting what you are. Kind regards. Simón Guardia.
