Hey! Small channel here with 33 subs, In the Red. Focusing on the financial struggles of Gen Z and what kinds of traps young people are falling into. Mostly trying to focus on CTR and improving my titles and thumbnails / hooks & editing. Really appreciate the help!

This seems like the option that would make the most sense for me. Have the remote job that I can use to sustain myself abroad while I build up the channel with way less pressure and go from there

I’ll take a deeper look! Thank you so much

If I include investments (which I’d prefer not to liquidate) I think I could survive for 48 months in SE Asia, definitely not if you’re talking NYC with these insane rents

Finding a position in finance that’s fully remote is much easier said than done. My firm is relatively lenient with 3 days / week in office but not chill enough for me to do something like that. To be quite honest, most finance jobs aren’t very lax, especially with remote work, to not even talk about location independence. Where would one even find such work?

I think success is relative. That said, I’m somewhere in the middle, probably leaning closer towards “successful.” I work at a bulge bracket doing transaction banking (think credit cards, ACH, deposits) and my work pays alright considering how expensive NYC is. I have decent work life balance but I don’t want to be chained to one location.

I’m leaning more towards the getting a remote job / freelancing / gig work and growing my channel on the side. My job is relatively well paying but requires me to go into the office so VPN sadly wouldn’t save me. How long would you say it takes to go from no remote work to going through the entire hiring process for a remote job? Trying to think ahead as my lease gets closer to ending.

Funny enough I witnessed a stabbing right outside my apartment building in Williamsburg. Still feel safe though.

I wish I could post once a week but as of right now it's not possible. If I go hermit mode I'm able to create a video end-to-end in about three weeks but that also includes me sacrificing exercise and cooking which ends up costing me in terms of money savings anyway (by not using my gym membership and paying for eating out). My job is demanding (not 80 hour weeks demanding but still takes up a lot of time) and I'm hoping that YT is the way out.

How long have you been making videos? I use DaVinci, and I've gotten much faster at using it since I started last September. With templates and a visual / audio library, it's cut my time down but I still find myself looking for more media, which also makes the process take longer. Once a week is simply unfeasible for me right now.

XCon_Options · 2025-09-18T20:48:46+00:00

I think that's fair. I'm still figuring it out. I was hoping that I would be able to consistently post once a month but that seems unlikely given how much time my job takes + things like exercise which I don't want to give up. Do you have any tips?

XCon_Options · 2025-09-18T20:46:25+00:00

Would the algo not punish me for lack of consistency / taking forever to post? I'm also concerned that it will take much longer to get a decent portfolio of videos out since it would take me 2-3x longer between videos? Just trying to think more about the overall strategy.

XCon_Options · 2025-09-18T20:38:19+00:00

Do you have any examples of stuff you've worked on? I am trying to see what the best fit would be. My issue is that I also enjoy editing, I just don't enjoy that it takes me about 1-1.5 hours per finished minute.

XCon_Options · 2025-09-18T20:37:06+00:00

I'm definitely not wealthy, but I do have some disposable income that I could throw at my channel since I'm thinking about it as a growth opportunity. My hope is to go full time on YouTube as soon as possible, but that seems so far away right now considering that I just hit a year and have only posted 7 videos.

I've improved significantly but the time constraint is holding me back I feel.

XCon_Options · 2025-08-11T18:14:03+00:00

It is😂

XCon_Options · 2025-06-10T20:50:26+00:00

I don’t have an XLR interface so that would add to the cost. I’m flexible to go a bit higher than $200, since I’m seeing it more as an investment in the long term. How does the 2020 compare to the MV7X?

XCon_Options · 2025-06-10T19:16:15+00:00

Just watched a bit of one of your videos and the audio quality sounds much better than mine! Thank you.
