Content creation is something we all enjoy doing! At least I'd hope so, I don't see why you'd still be here if you didn't enjoy it, anyways I digress. One of the bigger problems of content creation is the mental strength REQUIRED to keep themselves afloat during the beginning stages of YouTube! I just wanted to check in with everyone, I hope you're all doing well, and you got this broskis! 🫡

We currently live in a content age, everywhere you go there is some form of content to be consumed (you’re consuming some right now 🖥 📱 ). . . I decided that I no longer wanted to be a sole consumer and I hope this post convinces you to do the same. “But why should I produce content?” 🤔 I asked myself the same thing 2 months ago and here’s what I came up with: ✅ It gives me a place to express and build my creativity. ✅ I could develop some skills around copywriting, social media and more. ✅ It would make me stand out and open doors of opportunity (and already has). ✅ It allows me to have a positive impact in my own circle or community You might also think you have nothing interesting to say… But you can start by talking about things you’ve done or experienced or even aim the content at your younger self (that’s what I like to do). Are you ready to go and make content now? (Answer below!) If this hasn’t convinced you - what’s stopping you from being a producer? Maybe we can help you 👇 👇 👇

I recently came across a conversation about how it is a struggle to talk in front of a camera. This is definitely the hardest part about recording, but this is what I do personally Practice: I think the majority of people feel awkward staring into a camera (I'm supposed to talk to this thing?!). Try not to think of the camera as a camera, but a good friend who'll always listen no matter how loud you yell at them. Sometimes before a client starts a session, I encourage them to start with "hello best friend" (optional) Also it's good to train like a "low budget actor" try different accents/voices/vocal exercises to get better with feeling loose on cam, letting yourself know it's okay to say weird things and goof off on cam. Sometimes I just sit in front of the camera and I freestyle, NO SCRIPT to practice well speaking! I also try talking to more people to see the flow of conversation, how do I act etc etc. I look at how other YouTubers speak or talk so that I can mimic their style of speaking; seeing what I like and what I don't Execution: I read the lines and imagine how I'd say it in a conversation. I also keep in mind what I want the audience to feel! Excited? Sad? Worried? Serious!! Then after quick visualization I execute! (sometimes it takes me 1 try, sometimes it takes me 10, it's okay!) @Shay Trequesser watchu think 👀

This is Ruff, he's a self improvement genius, during my time helping him out on his YouTube channel we were able to grow his lower numbers to finally reach his first few millions and goddam was it a journey. For everyone who's trying to build/construct a digital footprint of some sort for themselves, please please keep this in mind - It is a PROCESS (no one expects you to blow up within a month, especially with how you're acting on camera) take the time to post as consistent as you can, while providing the best content you can. It took us a YEAR to get Ruff where Ruff is today. Improve. Improve. Improve. Learn how to write better scripts, see how other people use hooks and try to mimic it (NOT PLAGERIZE, JUST MIMIC), get better equipment as you grow! - If you want to get recognized fast, yes u can use trends, BUT DON'T RELY ON THEM. Trends only grow you so much, if your personality sucks, or is just another copy of another influencer, guess who they're going to pick over you? - Create content in things you genuinely enjoy doing, Ruff loves SELF IMPROVEMENT and he TALKS ALL ABOUT IT, this is the ONLY REASON why he was able to be consistent for so long. He loved what he was doing, and because of that he just kept going. Even if I MENTIONED a bit about retention, immediately he would counter with "yeah but is the quality good?" and that's why Ruff was able to get so far as a beginner another thing, people are worried they can't monetize! SAYS WHO?! the moment Ruff hit 200k subs, he immediately started a school; charging $39 a month for his current 52 members already gets him to $2080 a month! Imagine what happens as he continues to grow and become a thought leader in his niche!!! Any questions you have about YouTube, ask away!
