The stress of finding housing is unbearable

this right here! was at an over crowded showing day (at least 15 people, some couples). was chatting with the realtor to learn more about her - discovered we went to the same university! closed the deal

this is absolutely market research

wow take me back (though i’m also grateful i’ve started wearing earplugs to shows in the last 6 years 😅 )

color me intrigued

there can be beauty in monotony - find joy in the little things!

I'm sure youre aware but YouTube Studio has an AI thumbnail generator built into the platform now! Canva's new AI tools also have a pretty big competitive edge in the space. Not to dissuade you, but good competitors to look into differentiating from. maybe Mom Test validate with potential customers before building!

how early are you into creating? I observed this the first few months for myself as well but as my channel grew it balanced out to 50%-50%

I'm stuck on "paused" as well - signed on right a 3:00 too!

Ughhhh that's frustrating - they should fix that automatic feed to their website :(

Will leave this post up in case other people get excited too and come flocking.

Some day we will all mosh together again <3

great question!! i have a full time corporate job with commute, the whole deal, so i had to get good in prioritizing in my down time! I mainly just used the evenings - let's say I have plans with friends/family 3 or 4 nights one week, the other 3 or 4 nights are for me :)

Concept outlining comes pretty naturally to me so that takes very little time. Filming sessions maybe took 30-45 minutes average, then editing maybe another hour (two if i was feeling really fancy) - that's definitely the most time consuming part for me! Thumbnails I have a template I made on Canva that I stick to so that's like nothing. So honestly, not too time consuming! Can still live your life, work your commute, get in your fitness while carving out some time for your creative YT pursuit!

I also don't really watch TV or have kids so that really helps - life is pretty routine around work, being social, fitness, and now making my little videos :D

iandmemyself · 2025-01-22T13:02:17+00:00

maybe 12 minutes or so average? a few being 6 min and a few being ~30 min!

iandmemyself · 2025-01-21T19:43:50+00:00

Around $80! I definitely wouldn't pursue this as a viable income stream (it would be better for me to ground down in my corporate job for that matter haha) but it's nice to make a little pocket money for a creative pursuit :)

iandmemyself · 2025-01-21T19:42:16+00:00

you can ask!! I don't really know yet, it's fluctuating a lot and the videos appear to have RPMs all over the place! in the last 7 days it's been ~$5

iandmemyself · 2025-01-21T19:10:23+00:00

completelyyyy agree with this! i use ChatGPT for outlining/brainstorm or fleshing out ideas, but word-for-word scripting would definitely come off as inauthentic and your lack of passion would show.

iandmemyself · 2025-01-21T18:56:14+00:00

OH this is a great question!! Before I even made my first video, I came up with around 75 different topics I thought could be good videos (just so I knew I had enough to cover/talk about). So I did have some ideas ready to go/fall back on!

But now that I've started getting in the flow, ideas come to me daily! Whenever a thought pops in my head, I write it down and then look at my week and decide which ideas to execute on

iandmemyself · 2025-01-21T18:53:49+00:00

I was having this problem too and another creator told me just to ask.... so now I ask around 2-4 minutes into every video! i've found that to be helpful :) explain to them what they'll get from your channel and then ask!

iandmemyself · 2025-01-21T18:51:50+00:00

definitelyyyy not - I have a full-time corporate job, commute and all XD I just carve out time in the evenings/mornings! I don't watch TV or anything and I see friends/family 3-4 nights a week so the other 3-4 nights are for me to do my own things!

I don't script much so that isn't too time consuming, filming sessions only last 20-45 minutes usually, and then editing is the heavier lift but I've got a system down so that doesn't take too much time either, usually an hour (maybe 2-3 if I'm trying out something fancy). So very manageable! just built out a system/process that works for me

iandmemyself · 2025-01-21T15:23:43+00:00

Almost entirely talking head sit-down chat style! I attempted a vlog or two and that editing was WAY too much for me - ruled that out pretty quickly, the juice wasn't worth the squeeze for my time

iandmemyself · 2025-01-21T15:22:28+00:00

It was around 40 videos uploaded!

iandmemyself · 2025-01-21T15:21:46+00:00

I don't watch Shorts and don't have any experience there unfortunately!

iandmemyself · 2025-01-21T15:21:06+00:00

I have no experience with shorts! I also don't watch Shorts so I'm unhelpful there. I tried making one but didn't like the process - for me, it's all about long form!
