Hello and welcome back, and this is the section about YouTube psychology, a full disclaimer here,
I'm no psychologist.
I don't have any psychology experience.
I'm not professional in any way, shape or form.
And everything coming from this section is coming from my own experience that things that I've experienced
myself's myself or how I dealt with it.
And it is in no shape, way or form is any medical advice.
And if you feel like you need some medical help, please, please, please get some medical help, because
there is no shame in it and everyone once in awhile needs it.
So in this section, we're going to be talking about your mental state as a utopia and how you can actually
deal with some things and how you need to look at YouTube because you never, probably never knew this
if you haven't experienced it.
But YouTube is very heavy mental stress and many people just break and just just leave it, abandon
YouTube altogether because of this mental stress.
And in this section, I will try to talk about this, try to give you whatever I experienced in my years
of journey on YouTube and what I did and possibly what you can do as well.
But first, let's set up the YouTube.
How can the mental expectation, probably what you are expecting from the YouTube and what reality is?
And more often than not, we have some idealistic expectations of YouTube expecting something huge and
life changing from it, because we've seen a lot of success stories on YouTube and now we want to be
the next success story.
And more often than not, it is not the case.
So we'll just talk about what expectations are and what realities are and just continue with it.
Your expectations are most likely wrong.
So usually people are expecting that they will start a YouTube channel and they will be successful very
soon.
And the fact of the starting of the YouTube channel is deemed as a huge step forward is a huge leap
and a huge accomplishment.
And people are thinking that they will start YouTube channel if they will create a YouTube channel,
if they will create video and even videos, if they offer video or even videos, in some cases, they
will be guaranteed to be successful, which is not just almost every time.
It's practically absolutely every time wrong.
And the reality is that you will get close to no views for your videos even after months since they've
been uploaded.
It's a sad but absolute reality and you have to live with it.
There was nothing wrong with it.
It just the reality is that you don't have to follow the expectations of false expectations that people
will give you that oh, do these five things and you are going to get thousand subscribers in one month.
It's just a click away.
The just the marketing buzzwords.
It will not work.
It's an absolute reality.
There are some people, some very, very, very rare expectations that will make this work.
Very rare expectations.
And it is higher the chance for you to get struck by lightning than to be such an individual.
So just don't treat yourself as a very rare and very minor expectations, treat yourself as an average
individual and treat yourself in the real way.
Now, let's just talk about the next thing.
You focus on the wrong things while your YouTube channel, you focused on subscribers, on monetization,
on money, on dates, on deadlines, on everything like that, on numbers, way too much.
You one hundred subscribers in one month, you want to get monetize in three months and reality will
hit.
You want to start the channel.
Three months have passed and you only have ten subscribers.
What is wrong with me?
You might say, oh, I am a failure, you will say.
But no, that's an absolute normal thing.
Three months pass and transcriber's, probably ninety nine point nine percent of the people on YouTube
have experienced this.
You're not an exception.
Even in a bad things.
You are regular and it is normal to be like that.
It's absolutely normal.
There is nothing wrong with that.
There's nothing wrong getting only ten subscribers in three months.
You just haven't reached your audiences yet.
You have just found your audience.
That's OK.
Just you need to give it a time.
It's completely fine, it's completely fine to not reach success in arbitrary short amount of time.
It's completely fine.
YouTube is not a sprint, it's a marathon.
You are focusing on longer term goals, not on a short and shorter terms.
You want hundred thousand subscribers may be probably right.
Probably everyone wants a hundred thousand drivers.
And what if I told you that you will get hundreds of subscribers, but I will not tell you when you
are going to get it.
And what if this number is five years from now?
Will you be sad?
Probably not you, you know, that at least if you work for five years, you will get those subscribers,
but five years seems quite a while from now.
But when five year will pass, you'll say, oh, crap, I should have done it five years ago.
So don't focus on arbitrary numbers.
Next is money.
Oh, boy.
How many people are starting Nuccio because of money?
And yeah, actually money comes from YouTube, but it comes later.
It can come from the very beginning.
But again, in very exceptional cases, it will come from early.
And if you work on YouTube like a business, it will come through here earlier than you will even get
monetized.
As an example, I am monetizing the channels so well.
I was as the challenge with the last one hundred subscribers and still getting money from it.
Not the not the YouTube access monetization, but a different proposition.
But in the high chance that you will not be not be able and not be able to do it, you will not do this
because you will expect that sense and just put get make money without any additional work.
And the reality is that even if you get five thousand, you're probably be making about twenty dollars
per month.
Five thousand subscribers for majority of the people is very good about subscribers, right?
It's a very good number.
But the reality is like that, but that not a lot of money can be made from an access and you need to
understand that as well, you will become big enough soon enough that you will understand how you can
actually use your channel and utilize a channel in order in order to make more money.
But you need to focus on this way later and just do those things.
You have a really real expectations.
Do YouTube because you want to do it, not because of the numbers, not because of the money, due to
YouTube, because you want to create do YouTube, because you want to convey your message, do YouTube
because you want to say what, what, what you feel and what bothers you.
Do YouTube because you want to help people, not because you expect something in return.
Don't do this.
If you expect something in return, like numbers or money, people will feel it, everyone will feel
it.
And if they want you to feel it and you will feel.
Don't you feel not because it will not happen, it probably will, but it will happen so much later
that you'll be broken down already and you would not want to do this anymore.
Next, have fun doing doing it or not do it at all.
If you don't have fun, if you are struggling with every single video you record now, you struggle.
If you are miserable, if you don't want to record the video, if you don't want to edit the video,
if you don't want to upload your video, if you don't want anyone here to hear your voice, you don't
want anyone to hear your you see your face.
It's OK.
Don't don't do it.
Nobody's forcing you.
You are forcing yourself.
Don't force yourself.
If you don't want to do this, don't do it.
Not doing is OK as well.
Focus on something else.
Maybe you are not ready for this time.
Maybe you will be ready in a few years.
Maybe already in a few weeks.
Maybe already a few days.
If you don't want to do this, if you're not having fun doing it, don't.
It's perfectly fine.
Not doing it is perfectly fine as well.
Don't have any numerical expectations.
I mean that.
Don't expect any numbers.
Numbers are indicators of your success.
It is not success itself.
You might have 100000 subscribers in making hundred dollars a month, you nobody will see that, but
everybody will see 200000 subscribers, everybody will see you have numbers.
But in actual reality, you don't have success because you bought these subscribers.
Maybe you just told people to get this.
Just people don't watch your videos anymore.
It's not an indicator of success.
It is I mean, it is an indicator of success.
One of the indicators of success, probably, but it is not success itself.
Don't expect any numbers, don't go with to the YouTube saying that I'm going to get hundreds of subscribers
in X amount of time, I'm going to make thousand dollars in Y amount of time.
Don't please you will be doing yourself a disservice.
Take care of yourself.
Don't do yourself a disservice.
It is okay to fail.
Everybody wants to do this for the first time, but it's OK to fail, you might create 10 different
YouTube channels until you create one that is successful.
You might fail 10 times.
You might even feel 100 times.
You need to be successful only once.
And remember, failure is a lesson.
Just get up and start all over again or do something else.
It's OK.
It is OK to fail.
We are the entire world is growing up in a culture of teaching us all.
Failure is not an option.
You will fail if you will fail.
Why you are.
You are treating it like the thing that is not an option doesn't exist or you shouldn't feel something
that you will fail.
Everybody fails before you start walking while you would.
You are a toddler, you failed.
Then you fail probably a thousand times now, maybe not maybe a thousand at least hundred times.
But you will learn how to walk, right?
So you need to do this as well.
Here as well, failed a thousand times, you need to have success only once when you were a success
once.
You already know how to reach success next thousand times, but it's OK to fail first thousand times
because you watch the results and the results and failing is just a part of the way.
Remember that?
And focus on creation, that's what YouTube is all about.
YouTube is all about the creation.
It's all about creating the content.
You are not a YouTube or your YouTube creator.
You are creator.
Act like one.
Act like a creator.
Be a parent your content.
Love it, nurture it, improve it.
Take care of your content.
Be a creator and you will suddenly realize that how everything else comes with it.
When you focus on creating, you're creating something beautiful, something amazing, something impactful.
Eventually, not not for the first time, but eventually so focus on creation and everything else.
Every numerical value that you are want arbitrarily will come.
Well, this is it for this one.
Let's go to the next lecture.
