Why You're Struggling To Succeed On YouTube (And The Fix)

You release your 2nd video of the week and yet again another clunker…

You think to yourself “I wouldn’t care if I had 1-2 bad videos but none have gotten more than 100 views in the past month…”

And then it happens…

You start to slack on reviewing your video analytics

Maybe your upload schedule drops from 2 videos a week down to 1

Whether you realize it or not, you’re starting to slip into a downward YouTube spiral

I often call this phenomenon the “spiral of despair”

This is where you haven’t had a sufficient amount of recent wins to keep yourself motivated

And don’t worry, it happens to the best of us (yes - even me)

But what I notice is what separates those that overcome this sentiment

And those that don’t is their vision for their ideal future

Those that stumble and quit can only see what’s right infront of them

But those that end up winning long-term are the ones who can keep their eyes on the future prize at all times

For example, as a beginner, your first milestone goal may be to make enough from your channel in one month so that you can take out your partner to dinner

And once this happens, you gain the confidence that you can do it again

While progressing towards that next major milestone

As a seasoned creator on YouTube, I can tell you that fending off these periods of despair gets easier as you progress through your journey

For example, when I have a mediocre video I think about the fact that another literally paid for the car I drive today

Which if you ask me is pretty cool

So the next time you’re facing a negative thought or experience with YouTube

Don’t allow yourself to dwell in the moment

Shift your perspective to what you’ll enjoy when you finally figure this out

Because if someone like me, who is no smarter than you can make money on YouTube

Than so can you…

Note: Starting tomorrow, I will be accepting a few new students into Tube Academy

Happy Sunday!
