I Waited a Year to Start YouTube. Here's What Finally Changed

I've made over 420 plus videos over the past seven years, and there's one thing I wish I understood earlier. It was never about the camera or the script that kept me posting. I've always made one video a week, but there were times where a video would take me even longer, and I was completely overwhelmed with that. But what kept me going was much simpler. So in this video, I want to show you what changed and something I've built because of it. A lot of my friends are creators too. And to be honest, I hear the same story. You start posting, you're all in, and then you disappear for a few weeks. You come back, you post two or three videos and then disappear again. Maybe you're waiting for a better camera to start. Maybe you have a full-time job or a family and you just don't find time to make videos. Or you stay busy with things that feel like progress, like watching tutorials online or refreshing your stats instead of Making the next video. And to be honest. I've done these things myself. It actually took me a year to start my channel. And the reason for that is because I was afraid of what other people would think of me. So just my family, my friends, and also You, the viewer. So one day I made a decision. I would make one video per week, no matter what. And to make sure I didn't back out, I made a dedicated video about that, which was called, I'm starting a YouTube channel. And I also told everyone about it. Now, the funny thing is that hardly anyone saw it. But by making this video, it made me accountable. And back then I used to script every single word during my night shifts as a nurse. You know what? Let's sit over here. Well, yeah, the channel grew and so did also the pressure. And every video became less fun to make. And I also stopped taking the weekends off. And as the pressure grew, I also overcomplicated my setup. And yeah, I got overwhelmed and I've put way too much time into every video. So what changed for me is not having a better script or you know buying a new camera. Instead of writing everything out, I would just use a few bullet points. I also made my setup way simpler like right now just using a pocket camera and I would focus on one video at a time. Throughout those years of making content and posting it online, one thing that I've learned is that motivation comes and goes but having a simple system is what keeps you going. Now, going live and teaching live has always intimidated me, but it's been in the back of my head for the whole time. And same with YouTube, where I waited a year to start. And these days, my rule is simple. If that voice inside me says that this is the thing I need to do, then I'll do it. And over the years, I've met some amazing creators that are now long-lasting friends and you know so many of them would love to create videos and share their story with the world but they just simply don't have a process to do this in a sustainable way and if they asked i would give them tips but there was nothing that really kept them accountable so my mission is simple i want to help creators who are stuck get unstuck with a simple system and that's why i've built Creator Momentum, Creator Momentum is for those who've posted before but But can't keep it up. Next to a job or a family, you roughly know what you want to make, but you just keep starting, stopping and overthinking it. This is not another gear or studio course. It's about building a system and actually posting regularly. So I'm back home again because it's gotten really cold. Creator Momentum is a four week program with one simple goal. Create four videos in four weeks, one video every week. And on the last week you have your next four video planned. So week one is idea so that you always know what to make next. Week two is a simple workflow where you go from idea to posted video. Week three is confidence on camera, talking only from a few bullet points instead of a full script. And finally, week four is consistency so that you keep going after the program ends. Every Tuesday, there is a live workshop and every Thursday, a live Q&A so you can bring whatever you're stuck on. Also, every call is recorded and each week you share one video inside the group. And I give you one piece of feedback. on every video. And it doesn't matter what platform you use, any format works. Now I'm keeping this group small so that by week two, I'll also know your names and what you're working on. This is going to be the founding round, and we're starting on January 18th. And if you join the free waitlist below, you get access to the founding price, which is $697 instead of... $897. Also doors open for the waitlist on December 7th for three days only.
