Being a creator is 20% making content The other 80%: - Scripting - Packaging - Emails - Analytics - Networking - Showing up with zero motivation - Running a business The list goes on and on, If you only love the 20%, this career will break you Learn to love the 80%

If you're a creator, designer, or editor who still has their very first project saved somewhere Go look at it That gap between then and now is proof you've been getting better the whole time Sometimes it’s important to remind yourself how far you’ve come

If you're a creator who took a break, came back, and started posting again Coming back is harder than starting the first time and you did it anyway Most people who step away never return Be proud of yourself!!

If you're a creator who replies to every comment even when you only get 5 of them Those 5 people will remember you did that That's how communities actually start Don’t stop commenting and talking to your audience!

Nobody talks about how good it feels to finally finish a video you've been sitting on for weeks Not the final views it gets, not the likes, just hitting upload and knowing it's done for good That feeling alone is worth it 100%

The best thing about YouTube is a video you upload today can still find its audience a year from now Nothing you post is ever really dead

The creators who blow up "out of nowhere" were never out of nowhere You just weren't watching during the 2 years they posted to nobody

“The algorithm is punishing me” “YouTube just hates my content” “I’m shadow banned, time to start a new channel!” No, you need to evaluate your content, the algorithm is the VIEWER not some computer out to get you If you aren't getting views, that's AUDIENCE feedback, optimize for the audience

If you're a creator, designer, or editor who keeps posting even on the weeks you don't feel like it No motivation, no inspiration, no big results yet, you just show up because you said you would Most people only post when they feel like it and wonder why nothing grows That consistency is the whole game

Reminder to take breaks or your body will do it for you

There's a specific kind of friend you only get from being a creator, designer, or editor The one you send WIPs to at 2am, who tells you when your thumbnail is mid, who hypes you up when nobody else understands your vision If you have one of those, tag them They deserve it ❤️

If you're a creator, designer, or editor who picked this path while everyone around you told you to get a real job No guarantee it would work, no one showing you how, just you deciding to go for it anyway Most people never bet on themselves like that That took way more guts than you give yourself credit for
