It's so easy to fall into the perfection trap. Your next post needs to be flawless. You become so obsessed with the idea that you need to be perfect that you go silent. Stuck in your own head with only yourself as an audience for your thoughts. People are waiting to hear from you, today is the time.

Many people are reporting lower views on YouTube in the past few months. It's tempting to go into panic mode and dedicating all your time to trying to beat the algorithm, or feeling rejected and end up quitting. Remember, YouTube is a long game, don't stress the small swings. #YouTubeCreators

I subscribe to over 50 channels on YouTube and yet none of their videos appear in my home feed. Subscribers are becoming less and less important on YouTube. It's not the golden number anymore. Focus on making your next video 1% better and stop stressing over subscriber counts.#YouTubeCreators

I have multiple YouTube accounts and social media profiles. Some will die, some will grow, but each time I try something new and experiment I'm getting closer to finding my north star. Sometimes you need to throw stuff around and see what sticks. #YouTubeCreators

Most successful creators didn't start out with it all worked out. They weren't following a blueprint. They experimented, they failed, they pivoted.
It's messy, it's unplanned, it's a journey... And it's meant to be that way. There are no shortcuts.
Embrace the journey 💪

I'm 46 years old. Now is the time to figure out what I *really* want to do with my life, and do it. Who's in the same boat? 🤔 #over40 #secondact

For decades now "Google it" has been used like it's a word in the dictionary, it's synonymous with finding answers. Lately for the first time I'm noticing that fewer and fewer people say Google anymore. The common response now to finding answers in the world is — "Ask ChatGPT"

Real talk, these are things that have been holding me back as a #creator in 2024 that I really want to eliminate or improve on in 2025
🧠 Overthinking ideas so much they never get made

Ever had an idea for video content and then spend the next hour looking for similar videos doing the same thing and end up not making it because you don't see other creators doing it?
Stop looking for validation from others before you start. Just post it. #contentcreators

I still find that discovering the right tribe to follow on #bluesky is cumbersome sometimes. Feeds seems like a good idea but in reality most are just unmaintained and empty and its very hard to find anything relevant... I think feeds wants to be something curated articles on Medium but it misses.

Fighting a really bad cold right now. I think putting my face on camera might scare my audience away so I'll be focusing on some written content which I haven't paid enough attention to lately. Writing is also a good way to unlock ideas for future videos. See you on the other side 🤧😷🤒

Just over 3 months ago I decided to stop overthinking and procrastinating on creating a new channel on YouTube and finally executed. Seeing impressive growth for a brand new channel with only 3 videos. If you're stuck in the procrastination lane, take the execution exit! #contentcreators #youtuber
