There is a Skill Gap between being a working-class content creator and a full-time content creator, largely because you're VERY Limited in the time you have available to both grow your skills AND grow your audience... If you only have 10-20 hours per week after working for 40-50 hours a week, to focus on content, that gets divided between LEARNING and CREATING. In that situation, a person is spread fairly thin. And this is why it takes MOST people 5-7 years to breakthrough... IF they don't quit after 1-3 years, which is the MAJORITY. This is the primary reason (IMHO) that 90%+ of YouTube Creators NEVER get to 10,000 Subscribers in the first place. It's a combination of being overwhelmed, overworked, and then FEELING like they are underperforming. In REALITY, most people are doing well considering the obstacles they have, mostly being a LACK of TIME FREEDOM and lack of experience and efficient workflows and systems, all on top of a lack of resources and unfortunately a lack of support. #CreatorEconomy #YouTubers #SmallYouTubers

It’s very hard to grow on YouTube when all it gets is the scraps you have left in your life… It’s getting your spare time Your spare money Your spare energy Content creators who break through are the ones who were able to make it a priority. That is why so many creators ONLY finally broke through during the pandemic… They finally got to make YouTube a priority and the results reflect that change. If you’re not in that position, give yourself some slack…

Which YouTuber inspires you and why? I’m interested to see your reasons :)

It’s funny I only see @mws encouraging smaller creators to thrive, these other YouTubers aren’t friendly until you have 100k under your belt.
