Why I Decided to Document My YouTube Journey
I’m starting a YouTube channel, and I’ve decided to show what happens when you start from literally nothing.
Zero. Not one single subscriber.
Well, that’s not exactly true; at the time of writing, I have two. One is my cousin, the other is me.
I haven’t got a clue what’s going to happen
I genuinely don’t know how this is going to turn out. My YouTube channel will do one of three things:
- Work.
- Fail.
- Sort of work.
By ‘sort of work’ I mean grab a few hundred subscribers and a few thousand hours’ watch time. If I’m lucky. And, if that’s what happens after all the effort, strategising, research and testing I’m undertaking, I’ll be cool with it.
This isn’t a free bus ride. Despite the ridiculous number of get-rich-quick stories you’ll find on Medium, I have absolutely no expectation for this to be one of them. You see, I’ve been around the block a bit, and I know that stuff is largely bullshit.
Hard work nets you a decent income that enables you to buy the stuff you want to buy and keep a roof above your head. Luck and being in the right place at the right time takes you further than that.
