Creator Time Machine: What Would You Tell Your Past Self Before Starting?

  • Administrators

If you could go back to when you first started creating content (or thinking about it), what's the one piece of advice you'd give yourself? Would it be technical, mindset-related, or about building community? For those just starting, what questions are you hoping someone will answer from experience?

I would tell my past self to have a set schedule. I still have issues with posting consistently on my Youtube channel, I feel if I could go back in time and tell myself to really focus on my Youtube channel my career path may be different than it is today. I also wish I jumped on different trends when they were more popular, I probably would have more subscribers now. Also I would tell my past self to save up for better equipment so I could make higher quality content.

There are a lot of things that I did not do. For instance, when I started publishing on youtube generating 10k views was the only monetization rule but sadly, I did not pay much attention to publishing on youtube. I was using video editor back in 2013 but I did not pay attention to mastering video editing. I wish I learned video editing and devoted my time and effort on youtube. Maybe I would have become a big creator by now.
