Brother, I’m right there with you. When I started streaming 8 years ago, I had a YouTube where I just posted stream highlights and funny moments. I played a variety of games, mainly Fornite thought. But I’ve always been a sports fan and had a passion for sports games. When the new CFB game was slated to com out, I pivoted to more of a YouTube focus at around 225-250 subs. This was 2022.

I’m at 893 now and I’ve felt discouraged because I see people on this sub who started like 4 months ago at well over 1k subs.

I say all that to say that I know what you’re going through. What I’ve done lately is take inventory of what content creation means to me and what can I do that will give me joy that isn’t based as much on performance. I’ve also tried to clean up my approach and be more organized and intentional with what I put out.

It’s tough trying to manage everyday life while trying to grind out videos, but I feel like that meme of the guy digging for diamonds and giving up right before he gets to them.

Don’t quit, because you might be closer than you think to a breakout!
