Comment from : @BeardandLocsTravels

The first line is exactly what I needed to hear😅 as someone with insecurity about the way he looks😂

Great sharing! Thans Ali!

#1 friends and family haven't read my weekly written blog- I can even tell by site when my husband hasn't clicked in So true- not their thing Luckily they tell others so subscriber list increases bit by bit
Comment from : @Marti_Lay

Everyone wants to be a star and I DEFINITELY don't care about that Like, subscribe and ring the bell! Ummm- no
Comment from : @xmvirus202

The ones who care the other creators who follow us and some criticize our content and the shame come (at least on me)
Comment from : @PauloTravels

i watched a couple of these videos, and it's essentially the same content repackaged 😅

Alas, the editing is WHY I want to make videos I hate scripting and filming and gathering all the pieces together It's the putting them together and seeing the end product start to take shape that I find the most rewarding and more importantly, the most fun I will never outsource that But I will also never monetize and it may be months to years before I make another video anyway Ah well

Comment from : @rubiks3

Haha that is true no one cares😅 I am definitely doing something wrong 😢
Comment from : @sa-loves-life

What i find impressive with Ali is that, he has 1000 videos uploaded and has come so far so it's understandable he's good now And he consistently sticked to making videos all these time And he doesn't care much about his hair styling, he just let it naturally there
Comment from : @ZawHtetAung-w8m

Taking action "Start off being bad" I love that I coach people on their Amazon business and We ALL start off bad lol The trick is showing up and fine tuning the winners

I don't know man My dog has exquisite taste, going to be hard not to consider his input
Comment from : @alexisestrada9188

I do agree, I don't care how the video is made, but more importantly, what information I will be getting out of the video

I pray that every new YouTuber goes on to win the streak I have, in my life, understood the fundamentals that someone may need to be Wealthy Wealthy not just by making money But establishing the “character” that could of help to somebody like you, maybe It is just a start I have opted for a “Hide your face” approach for now But maybe after reaching an amount 50K subscribers I will add my real life instances that has helped me building, what represents for me, the true wealth Please subscribe and add the fuel that I may need to carry on this journey Thank YouStay Blessed

I find editing videos actually harder than making the video brBtw thanks for this video I wanted to start my YouTube channel in 2012 but that mindset of perfection and my boss watching it etc always blocked my way brBest wishes for you mate
Comment from : @Filmparast

AND MY DOG SUPPORTS ME 100 lol thanks for the video was super helpful!

Comment from : @Lifewith_Chinenye

I just created my art channel, and this video is incredibly helpful! 🥹
Comment from : @Cjee_Studio

I think help/educational vids are the most attractive to viewers - that's were people started watching me
Comment from : @Johnmccoyart

Hey Ali, do you edit your videos yourself or get it done from an employer or outsource it ??
Comment from : @manangrover

You got me when you said that I was intelligent and attractive 🤣😂
Comment from : @r2d2s_mic

Comment from : @WalkInFreedom

You mentioned outsourcing the video editing, which I was very interested in If I google that, I just get software, do you recommend a good place to go to find editors? Thank you, great video
Comment from : @thattombloke

Awesome advice! Much appreciated brother!
Comment from : @adulthealthyliving

Comment from : @JC_VR234

I don’t have a lot of subscribers and found this video very encouraging Thanks for sharing your experience with us
Comment from : @SerenitySeeks-iu4hw

I have a very small channel in a big niche😂 but I keep on I learn a lot about myself and think therefore it is not a waste of my time😎 good luck to all small YouTubers 🎉❤
Comment from : @Bettysfinancefamilychannel

It’s helpful to know that you have been a struggling YouTuber before you became a successful one💝😀 I am reading the dip now by Seth Godin and it sounds like you were able to quit your struggling channels until you made it with the succeeding ones Regards from a beginner
Comment from : @BettointheGhettomusiccha-hs1dc

This video is so good It literally dissolved my fear to get started brThank you!!!❤
Comment from : @AndreeaLauraBalu

To all small and new youtubers, keep going, we got this! Dont give up!
Comment from : @ReylanceCreate

Comment from : @PaintsAndDogs

Haha I love this so much Of course your family is not interested It stings a bit, though! (I do have one sister who is also interested in art so likes to encourage mine Which is nice)
Comment from : @PaintsAndDogs

Fellow small Chanels Good luck
Comment from : @BYZANTINE_GAMES

I am thinking of starting youtube channel about environmental sciences, it's terms, branches, will anyone watch those videos or is that a boring topic The videos won't be very engaging as I don't have a great laptop to make them Should I or should I not?
Comment from : @muznahimran8057

Ali, thanks for all your help Been watching you for years You are an inspiration
Comment from : @SterlingCaporale

Wow, this video is so well done I’m super inspired by creators like you! I started my channel and aiming for my first 200 subscribers
Comment from : @thesilentvault

It's amazing 🎉
Comment from : @SchwaCylena

I just want to make cute dog videos My unfair advantage? She’s like a walking ball of fluff and charm My struggle? Figuring out how to turn all that cuteness into a video people won’t scroll past 💔
Comment from : @Dat_doodle_em

As a new youtuber, i’m already demotivated I’m seeing all these youtube issues, people getting demonetized for no reason, not being able to appeal the decision, and so on so forth This is not a good start
Comment from : @WeAreTheWorld-RO

Ease change the title to * things I wish I'd known you're talking in the past not the present Typical non-native speaker error Take note !! 😊
Comment from : @easy4x4

One thing to mention, you are talking way to fast, I don’t know why but that’s a very bad habit for a lot of YouTubers 5 min into your videos I need to get out because it’s too busy
Comment from : @TheSouthernAccent

Even Rick Beato eventually sucks
Comment from : @zweisteinya

Great Advice!
Comment from : @michelinzero

I think that’s the thing I have learned from creating other channels, is I dont put all my focus on people and trying to get them to like my videos, I put all my focus on improving my videos
Comment from : @HashtagDemocracy

Hi Ali Great video ,brAs a hobby,I enjoy creating ambient styles of music (Im not a musician as such) brI had to take my Youtube channel offline for a year as I suffered from a variety of personal reasonsbr And feel like coming back to my channel,but in a different direction, but which way,? Music style videos,educational? AbrAppreciate any suggestion's

Comment from : @WombFlows

Thank you All time YouTube watcher, but new creator here I am definitely on the archeologist track This has been one of the most encouraging and inspiring videos I've come across since I started three days ago 😁
Comment from : @DawnDuhDuh

This is very true!
Comment from : @StefsYouTube

I’m a new YouTuber and I’d like to know your thoughts on using Google Ads for growing a new channel Would you recommend running ads at the start to help build an audience?

Comment from : @nickoru1

I ❤ this video Thx 🎉
Comment from : @OneSweetDreamCameTrue

"Your Niche will emerge over time" Thank you my friend
Comment from : @kanecameron9395

Its really not an unfair advantage in most of your examplesit's actuality just an advantage For example, the example of having learned a new language is only an advantage There's nothing unfair about that bc anyone can go learn if they want Now being beautiful is an unfair advantage for sure But I would still call it an advantage bc no one has made it be unfair People simply have different rates of beautifulness Okay 🥸 I have way overthought this!
