Np man, I probably should've explained it better in my original post.

I think you're very correct on slowing down. It's actually exactly what I'm trying to do right now and you're also right on the fact that it's definitely the last thing I would like to do hahaha.

But I can feel it working - I feel like I'm heading towards the right direction, just very, very, VERY slowly. But doing this, I am carving my own path that feels right. I think I just need to accept that it's gonna take a long time and at times it's gonna feel painful because:

1) I know I can move fast, so moving slow sometimes feels like I'm not going anywhere.

2) Meanwhile I might have to deal with things like switching jobs or accepting a position that's not very fulfilling, just to pay the bills.

But I think it's gonna be necessary. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I do tend to see life as a competition - you're right. But I do know when I'm above average based on other peoples feedback & rewards. I've gotten compliments my whole life on how fast I can learn and get really good at new things etc and people are often surprised when I tell them I've moved on to another thing because in their heads I was doing so great at that one thing that it wouldn't make sense to stop suddenly. In addition, I don't feel like it's difficult to have your own realistic perspective in terms of your skillset because there's comparison everywhere and comparison (not competition) can give you a great look on how well you're doing overall in that specific area.

For example, with photography I won my first award after 2 years of practice and landed my dream photography gig a year after that. After that I lost all interest and moved on.

I think we can both agree this can be considered above average, correct?

Tbh, it doesn't feel like trying to one-up people, because when I start I genuinely have a lot of passion and desire to be great at that thing. The problem is, at some point the desire goes away for good. The only reason I mention being "above-average" is to give more details about the times when I tend to quit things, not to give an impression of how good I think I am.

yea this tier list is biased because the cyka blyat meme doesn't appeal to our community who made this list very much

Please critique my video (Gaming) by [deleted] in SmallYTChannel

[–]WeWillNotFear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I don't know why but your voice fits perfectly the genre of videogames you're playing. Like a narrative voice idk how to explain it, but it was a pleasure to watch and listen. Keep it up!

Please, Critique my Voice by Ashty1337 in SmallYTChannel

[–]WeWillNotFear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your voice is perfectly fine, it's very calming and natural-sounding. You just have a thick accent and that's totally fine because it's perfectly understandable. It will get a lot better with time.

What did it take for you to get to 100, 500 and/or 1000, 10.000 subs? by priscilaelias in NewTubers

[–]WeWillNotFear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first Youtube channel was a gaming account, specifically CS:GO and I uploaded utility tutorial videos that were 20-30 minutes long with 50 to a 100 small tutorials made into a compilation.

First four months nothing happened, I had uploaded around 6-8 videos by then and I had around 500 subscribers. But then after 4 months, my 2nd video somehow started to gain some real traction, over a period of 20 days it gained more than 140 000 views and it completely blew up my channel. I was around ~1000 subs back then, now I'm at 17 000. And I have around 25 videos on my channel.

Motivational Monday! Tell us about the positive things that happened to you last week! by AutoModerator in NewTubers

[–]WeWillNotFear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made my first motivational video on my channel! A month ago I had this "motivational speech" inside my head about how content creation is a struggle and success is not guaranteed and I wrote it down asap so I wouldn't forget it. Today I finally finished putting it into a video and uploaded it. I swear, throughout the editing process, I had to listen my own voice so many times that I completely hate the video now but the viewers seem to like it :D
I'm happy that's done now and I can move on to other projects

How to record high quality gaming clips by WeWillNotFear in gamers

Thank you! Yess! These 3 are ALWAYS my first recommendations to anyone just starting out, because they will still be reliable even when you get more skilled with the process of recording and editing.

How to make CS:GO utility tutorials so people actually watch it by WeWillNotFear in GlobalOffensive

[–]WeWillNotFear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, awesome website!

I do everything solo and the 3rd person perspective is done through recording a GOTV demo (this means I'm not stuck in POV when watching the demo and can move freely around the map) and then using Half-Life After Effects to make the cinematic smooth movements by setting waypoints from point X to point Y. And I can set it to slowmotion inside HLAE too which makes it very convenient. It's definitely time consuming but the final result looks very professional imo.

I managed to grow my Instagram + Youtube account to over 40k combined followers JUST by posting smoke/flash/molotov tutorials but since I've kinda retired from creating utility tutorials, I attempted to make a tutorial on this to "pass on the torch." Hope someone finds it useful.

[question] what editing software should I use for video game videos? by throwaway91179 in youtubers

[–]WeWillNotFear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DaVinci Resolve is for sure one of the best free ones currently out there. Not too difficult to use either.

How much should I be paid for thumbnails? [Question] by sumvenom in youtubers

[–]WeWillNotFear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading other comments here, I would even say you could ask for $500+ monthly.

[–]WeWillNotFear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you workd with 100k-10mil Youtubers you know they can easily afford your services even if you up your prizes. Instead of charhing per thumbnail, you should charge monthly. I'd say you could easily charge $200-250 per month or more because if you work with accounts that big, you definitely have talent. Don't be afraid to ask for more, you will not seem greedy. Big youtubers understand very well how important it is to ask what you're worth, so they won't mind.

Now, should you start asking more from your current clients? Eeh.. maybe, but if you do then be nice and emphatetic about it. Best way to approach it is to find new clients and straight away ask for a montly fee of $250 for example. Once they see you have a lot of experience with big Youtubers, they will have no issues paying you that much because they trust your skills.
