You Are Destined to Start a YouTube Channel If...

[00:02] relatives, colleagues, or some acquaintances. If this is what is stopping you, you have to start a YouTube channel and overcome this fear, because hurting you. Right now my channel has 200,000 subscribers. I earn

[00:19] more than when I was employed. I have simply total freedom. And just I have simply total freedom. And just think, yes, that I, ah, for a very long time did not dare to open a YouTube channel and start showing myself, because I

[00:33] was afraid of judgment, what my friends, my relatives would say about me, who she even imagines herself to be. Yes, I really felt this enormous shame. And imagine, if I hadn’t overcome that fear, I would have lived, I would have continued to live that

[00:49] life. And everything that makes me happy now, the life that I so strove for, all of this would not have happened. Only because I was afraid, uh, that is, giving other people the freedom to dictate how to live my life. So

[01:04] please think about what you have to lose by worrying about the opinions of other people, those around you. Is it worth your life and your future? And in general, I think that you need to block relatives, friends, acquaintances.

[01:19] Uh, especially those who say, "Oh, what, have you decided to become a blogger? You're embarrassing us there , who do you think you are? Even if it's your own mother or father, people like that should be banned right away, because the first step will be incredibly

[01:36] cringe-worthy, it will be very difficult, it will be shameful, it will be very embarrassing to shoot your first videos. But you definitely need to shoot your first videos. The first 10, 20, 30 videos will be incredibly cringe-worthy, shameful, but you need to

[01:50] make them to learn from your mistakes. These mistakes are essential in this game. You can't do without them at all. Because thanks to them, you begin to understand what works and what doesn't. You begin to learn and think like a creator. Yes, I would

[02:05] never have become a blogger if I hadn't made a ton of those first mistakes. Yes, if you look at my old videos, they were very weak. I spoke very slowly there , but thanks to those

[02:18] , but thanks to those cringe-worthy videos back then, these normal videos have emerged. If you're afraid of judgment and the opinions of others, and if you find it difficult to make decisions without other people's approval, I highly

[02:31] recommend you read this book. It really helped me build my inner strength. Here are three key insights from the book that changed my thinking. First, every problem you face in life has

[02:43] one simple cause. You depend too much on the opinions of others. It's the fear of judgment that makes you unhappy. All of life's problems are easily solved. Life only seems difficult because we make it that way. And the only thing you

[02:56] misunderstood and unwanted. The courage to be someone who might be disapproved of, someone others don't like. And third, praise actually means being judged as good by someone else. The standard of what's good and what's bad

[03:09] becomes that person's perspective. If you strive for praise, you have no choice but to adapt to other people's standards and thereby limit your own freedom. People will judge you anyway. The main thing is, So that you don't

[03:23] devalue yourself for the sake of someone else's comfort. The second sign that you need to start a YouTube channel is if you're a perfectionist. Reid Hoffman, one of the "If you're not ashamed of the first version of

[03:36] it too late." I like to apply this phrase to YouTube. If you're not ashamed of the video you posted, you posted it too late. That's it, the train has left the station. It's completely normal to be ashamed of your videos. For example, I'm

[03:51] never 100% satisfied with my videos. And I've made it a rule that if I like a video 60%, that's it, throw it away and move on to the next one. Because videos can actually be endlessly refined, you can refine them for years

[04:05] like them. It's important to approach this like a business. Launch quickly, test the idea quickly, get feedback, and keep refining. For beginners, I

[04:18] generally I advise against making long videos, 8 or 10 minutes at most, and not spending more than three or four days on them. Because newbies, again, don't have the experience, and they've been around a lot. If they spend

[04:33] time on a video, it's unlikely to be successful at first. That's just the statistics. It's normal for your first videos to be unsuccessful. But that's why people burn out because they've wasted so much time on the

[04:46] video itself. Therefore, I advise newbies to make short videos, rather than to make short videos, rather than spend too much time on the video itself, and instead your videos. For example, here's my case. I uploaded different videos in

[05:03] different niches. I had a lifestyle video, one about studying in Korea, and something else. Then it happened, I uploaded a new video in a new niche, about making money online. And then it new niche, about making money online. And then it went viral. And when it went viral, I,

[05:18] went viral. And when it went viral, I, so to speak, I started doubledow and made 10 to this day. It turns out I'm making videos in this niche because I was testing different niches, found my own, and started developing in it. So it's

[05:31] such a field for experimentation. And the main thing is to quickly roll out an idea. And it's normal to feel ashamed. Ashamed because you didn't do everything perfectly. And this is the because you didn't do everything perfectly. And this is the right strategy. That is, good use

[05:46] of your time. That is, don't waste a lot of time on something that might not fly. In general, test and fail quickly. Don't treat it like some kind of masterpiece. Treat it like a business. Well, remember, the

[05:58] more your ideas see the light of day, the greater your chances of success. So, the next start a YouTube channel is if you're unsure of yourself, don't like the way you look, the way you sound, then that's definitely a sign that you need to start a YouTube

[06:13] channel. I remember when I filmed my first videos and saw myself on the screen. Oh my God, I was so cringing. I felt so bad about my ego then, because in my head I was a beauty with a beautiful voice, but when I saw it on

[06:27] the screen, I was like, it turns out my smile is crooked, it turns out I have some kind of strange, incomprehensible voice, I did n't like my appearance, that is, I did n't like everything. And I felt even more, even more ashamed because I knew that I would

[06:43] roll it out and my friends, my relatives, my acquaintances would see me as such a terrible person. But, you know, I still continued. I don't understand that I'm actually doing a very powerful practice. You know, this is such

[06:58] work with the ego. It's about leaving your comfort zone and it's about pumping up your mental muscle. That is, you pump up your thinking, in fact, in this way. When you are in a comfortable place, your

[07:13] are in a comfortable place, your muscle remains weak. But when muscle remains weak. But when you do something within yourself, go through something there, do something, yes, something difficult, and You see these difficulties as,

[07:26] uh, an opportunity to develop your muscle, and that's when real changes begin to happen . Because your psyche is really like a muscle. If you don't train it, it remains weak. If you only choose the easy way, you

[07:39] remain fragile. That's why this clash with fears, with unpleasant feelings, I even sat down to write this video, and for about two hours I simply didn't want to do anything, I didn't want to, well, in short, I procrastinated, put it off,

[07:54] because when you're filming a video, you have these unpleasant feelings inside, you feel uncomfortable, you don't want resistance inside. And if you don't

[08:06] look this in the eye, if you don't face it, then this muscle of yours, again, yes, remains fragile, even more fragile. There, your neural connections begin to understand that when we see difficulties, we must

[08:20] run, and you strengthen these neurons that, uh, don't serve you well, in short, later. That's why, again, this clash with fears and resistance is so valuable. This is again an opportunity to train

[08:34] your psyche. It's like going to the gym and becoming stronger. These feelings, this cringe, looking fear in the eye, all of this , you need to look at it, it turns out, as opportunities. And the more you do this, the easier it

[08:49] becomes for you to look at the camera, look at yourself, do some difficult things. . Perhaps I'll make a video about it . Well, you probably understand, yes, what I mean. It turns out that some people have a very large

[09:03] singular cortex, in short, I don't know what it's called. But, in general, people it's called. But, in general, people who, uh, like difficulties and treat them somehow easily and take on challenges, it

[09:16] turns out that they have this, uh, this part of the cerebral cortex is larger, or something. And make a video about it. In So, I continued filming myself through cringing, continued filming myself through cringing, through pain, and now I'm not triggered by

[09:31] like my voice. I like the way I sound, which is very strange. But, you know, it's thanks to YouTube, thanks to this work that I'm doing, I've learned to accept myself and not cringe

[09:44] and not be sensitive to how I look. For example, I look at myself That is, I knocked this sensitivity out of myself. So if you look at yourself now and think: "Damn, I look ugly, I have a

[09:57] weird voice, I can't speak," that's not a reason to stop, it's a reason to start, it's part of the training, because through the camera you not only share with the world, you learn to see and hear yourself with respect. And that, in fact, is the most

[10:10] tips on how to improve your confidence on camera. The first tip is It's just a practice. Actually, talking to the camera as if there's a person standing there is unnatural, it's unnatural for everyone. But the more you

[10:26] unnatural for everyone. But the more you do it, the more normal it becomes. So, again, my advice is what we just talked about. The more you do it, the easier it is. It's really that stupidly simple.

[10:40] The more you do it, the less sensitive you are to it and the more, uh, natural it all seems. The second piece of advice that really helped me is to remember that everyone goes through this . In fact, look at all my favorite

[10:54] YouTubers. Look at all your favorite stars, I don't know, YouTube actors, how they film. They also look at the camera and talk to it. So, everyone goes through this. It's a common format of communication on the internet.

[11:09] Even look at all the TV presenters, they look into the lens and talk to you. That's it. And when you imagine how your favorite YouTubers it really resonates with me. It helped. And here's the third piece of

[11:22] advice. I've done this before. I even printed out a photo of my friend and attached my phone number to it. And I imagined that I was talking to her. And at first, it helped me. Now, of course, I don't need it anymore, but

[11:36] in the beginning, it can really help. So use it. And the fourth piece of advice, of course, is this: in general, you just need to be yourself. When you pretend to be someone else, someone you're not , then you look at yourself and you

[11:51] cringe even more, because in life you're not like that. And when you're just the way you life you're not like that. And when you're just the way you are, both on camera and in life, then, well, it's easier for you to accept yourself. Uh, you don't cringe on your own behalf. And then

[12:06] you attract people who like the fact that you speak slowly or love you for your crooked smile. This makes it much easier and more pleasant. The next sign. If you feel too young or

[12:19] too old to start, then you're destined Start a YouTube channel. I often hear excuses like: "I'm too old, I'm too young, my niche is too narrow. Who cares anyway? I'm not an expert in anything. But let's

[12:33] ask ourselves the question honestly. Are there any successful older YouTubers? Of course there is. Are there any successful young YouTubers? Of course there is. Are there any Asian bloggers there? Are there any female bloggers there? Of course there is. YouTube is such a

[12:49] wonderful platform, and over the years of working on it, I've realized that it's so multifaceted, and every person will have their own audience. It’s just that I’m doing niche analysis especially now. By the way, if you want to find

[13:07] niche analysis especially now. By the way, if you want to find your niche, I'll leave the Workbook in the description below this video. Take it, there are a lot of questions there, by answering which you will understand what your niche is, where to go, and so on. Here is

[13:22] the link. In general, everyone has their own audience on YouTube. I'm currently analyzing a lot of niches and I realize: " My God, what incredible niches exist, people's interests are so multifaceted." That is,

[13:37] each person will actually have their own audience. And in fact, these excuses like, oh, I'm too old for this, or oh, I'm not an expert yet, these are just, you know, not reasons not to start, these are just

[13:51] excuses. It is the fear of being judged, the fear of being misunderstood. But if others were able to do it, the same as you, yes, there, I don’t know, at 50, at 60 years old, they opened a channel and were able to do it, why can’t you? It doesn’t matter at all how old you are, where you are from, or

[14:06] what experience you have. The most important thing on this platform is what you can give to . For example, I have greatly improved old videos, look at my videos now. The difference in speech and speed is

[14:20] generally huge. And again, if your videos changed even one person's life, then it was all worth it, all the effort was worth it. Even if your videos are watched by 100-200 people, remember that it’s like a whole room. That's a lot. If

[14:37] their life has changed thanks to you, you have already done an important job. And in general, yes, I really don’t like it when they say there, by the age of 30 you should already have this there. By the age of 40, you should already have this , this. Who came up with these

[14:51] templates anyway? Everyone has their own pacing, everyone has their own rhythm, everyone has their own life. Therefore, you need to respect, simply pay tribute to your timing, your age and your time, the time of your life in which you live. The

[15:04] next sign that you need to start a YouTube channel is if you that your life is interesting in general. Let me tell you how I gained an online audience of 258,000. First of all, I was not an expert. Forget

[15:19] about expertise altogether. She did n't really give in to anyone. You are interesting people by nature. It's probably much more interesting than you think. If love, what you love to talk about, what you have a real passion for, I

[15:32] In the beginning, I made videos about everything without any expertise. I did something about meditation, about life in Korea, about everything , because at the start, yes, you conduct such experiments. At the start, it's important to understand yourself, learn to

[15:46] speak on camera, find your niche, and, of course, overcome impostor syndrome. It's like I have nothing to tell. We all have a story to tell. Please remember that your point B, where you are now, yes, is someone else's

[16:00] point A. What kind of life are you living now, even though it seems to you that I am not earning millions of money now. Now I'll pump up there, and then I'll shoot a video and tell you about it. In fact, we all live the life that others dream of.

[16:15] We just devalue it. We don't really see the value in this right now. But in reality it has always been like this. For example, it has always been like this for me . Even before, when I lived there in Korea, I hated the fact that I lived in a rented apartment and envied those who were

[16:28] supposedly earning money online. And people wrote to me like, damn, how can I get into studying in Korea? I really dream of living there in Korea. That is, in reality, whose living there in Korea. That is, in reality, whose point B is yours is someone else’s point A

[16:41] like to do, what do I already do psychologist, I go to the gym, I like to draw, sing. And talk about all this. And then you'll notice that out of all these topics, two or three start to get more views than the

[16:54] others. Then you just go ahead and double your efforts on these topics. This way you will start building a community of people who follow you not for the niche, but for you. I went to a psychologist, and I had some insights, and at first I did

[17:09] n’t understand that it turns out you can talk about this on YouTube, on Instagram, but these are just insights from my life. I thought, "Let me try." And then I had an insight about envy, for example, when I was

[17:22] working on it with a psychologist. This is just what happened in my life. I told about it. This reel flew in, brought, now there will be screenshots here, brought, now there will be screenshots here, brought there two or 5,000 subscribers. And

[17:34] then I realized that if you start paying attention to your life, it turns out that you have a attention to your life, it turns out that you have a , a short video. That is, be sure to watch it, you will get a

[17:47] lot of links here. I always get confused, where to look, there are a lot of questions right in the video. You will get a lot of ideas for your videos, for content. So, enjoy watching. The next sign that you are destined to

[18:01] start a YouTube channel is if you think that no one will watch your videos and you will not succeed at all. In general, this is probably a very familiar thought. We all automatically, yes, start thinking, like, no one

[18:13] will look. We immediately imagine the worst-case scenario. Nobody will watch, there will be zero views at all. Everyone will think I'm a loser, I'll waste my time there. What if we don’t go into negativity , but think that everything will work out?

[18:27] What if the video gets lost? What if you start monetizing there? What if you start earning 10, 10, or 20,000 dollars from this business? dollars from this business? You need to train yourself to think

[18:39] positively right away, to be an optimist right away, right? Why we choose not to be optimistic, I do n't understand. And in general, let's change the way we think about fails and errors. Failure is not the end of the world. It means you at least tried, which is

[18:54] more than 90% of people do. Failure is not the opposite of success. It's just part of the journey. The price you pay to grow and become better. And here's what's important to understand. Fear is most often a fantasy. It seems real, but in

[19:07] fact it’s just the brain creating horror stories. You're essentially afraid of something that hasn't even happened yet. I understand that you are afraid of failure, but being stuck in one place, not changing anything, that is really scary. We should not be afraid of

[19:20] failures, but of comfort, since it is comfort that lulls us into a false sense of security and slowly deprives us of ambition. But the courage to go on stage and show yourself, even if you're shaking, that's where real growth begins. And the last

[19:32] sign. I don't understand algorithms, I don't know how to make clickable covers or headlines, I don't know how to edit, and I don't understand all this stuff. start out, and that's okay. This is already secondary. All of this can be
