Hello Fastlane!
I have avoided this forum for a LONG LONG time.
Inspired by James Jani's thread a while back, I also wanted to share my YouTube journey here.
Let me give some quick related background:
I wanted to make a YouTube channel for two years! but in those two years I did a lot of action fakes, instead of, taking the actual action needed.
In part of my action faking, I worked a job again, I started to go to Uni (which was actually good for me, I know have better social life and more structured days), I even enrolled into Fox's very own Web Design school! (No offense to Rob, his stuff is amazing! but sadly, Web Design wasn't for me. I created two websites and sold one of them... but I hated it!)
Finally, two weeks ago I made my first video. I had a lot of excuses and fears, your usual stuff like not liking how I sound or look on camera. but I decided to simply take action, even if my videos are not perfect now, I know it'll be better with time and videos.
I'm sure people will criticize this, but I don't yet really have a niche. For now it looks like to be a focus of self-improvement, fitness, etc. But I know I can't use this as an excuse - to find a perfect niche or channel title - I simply need to create content.
Here are my first 2 videos:
I'll try to update this thread once in a while, I think that it'll be nice to look at this thread in the future and see how far I've gone. Currently my goals are to make at least 1 video per week (I will be increasing this soon, I think to pre record a bunch when my University testing period starts and I have more time) and 10,000 subscribers by 2022.
