what's holding me back is knowing that once I start and I'm in deep, I need to keep it going and make it top priority. I know it will take over my life.

Another thing holding me back is when I go all in one serving a community on social is that our professionals steal what's unique to me. A % of my audience ends up being my competitors who regurgitate my hard work. I end up feeling like I'm running "Mindy's academy for competing businesses to learn how to be me and dilute what's special about my approaches." I know that competition isn't necessarily a thing. I'm not concerned about competing for customers. It's just hard to take, seeing people steal your words, lessons, and life-long observations and presenting it like their own. So I keep thinking about offering gated content but they will just pay and still consume for the purpose of duplicating my work.

The biggest thing stopping me is my concern that videos would hurt my reputation more than help it. I’ve only been in business a few years, so it’s kind of hard to tell people “here’s what works for me” when I don’t even know what works for me yet. Especially because I didn’t work as a technician in my industry for 5-20 years before starting my business, as it seems most people who make content have.

1. Knowing what to talk about 2. Procrastination over preparing a space that I can film in and have it match my visual brand Normally I would tell people not to worry about the space so much, but my brand is as a visual creator. So, a sloppy backdrop would directly contradict the image my brand portrays.

The motivation to just begin, it feels like a big project with so many dependent pieces but I need to get over the procrastination hump I do have the vision pretty clearly and have been thinking about it for a long time, but it feels like a mental roadblock for me personally

Not knowing who my audience would be kept me from starting for years. As a CPA firm, it's tempting to post generalist tax updates and Quickbooks tutorials, and just get lost in the sea of other channels. Once we niched our entire firm in succession planning, the video ideas came much quicker. That said, I'm still having a tough time refining the package for that target client and discovering what they want from a YouTube resource.

I just started two weeks ago and mentioned YOU in the video's description that includes YOUR channel (published SEP 15 2024)! You and others have convinced me that YouTube SEO is the way to go. Thank you! 1. I picked Tella to record. 2. Make.com to help others automate their YouTube SEO. 3. Google Sheets manages the system that drives traffic to their YT videos. 4. I learned to pivot from the AI Automation trend to our niche.

Time. I probably have 4 hours out of the week right now to create, so video is on the bottom of the list between catching up on photography, design, and web maintenance

Making the time/scheduled and keeping it to film the videos. I think the viewers won’t come from google or YouTube, but more manual effort to DM “hey I have a video on this”. If I thought I understood SEO on YouTube then I would be more efficient at making time.

Figuring out the best tools for lighting and sound, and the right place to film, then the right tools to edit so it's all on brand. 😮💨 Talk about overwhelming.

1. The fear of investing time and effort and not getting the results I want 2. The lack of a proper modern and cozy space to film the videos I am a Korean language teacher and translator, so my videos would be oriented towards Korean language students or just anyone interested in Korean culture :)

The fact that anyone doing what I am doing has made multiple videos on the same subjects, and mine will get lost in the noise!

Have created videos, but little to no views. I would love to learn how to master the game

Nothing really, I'm planning it and was figuring out content. That's probably the biggest thing here because it's hard to come up with highly original and valuable content in my niche, considering there are so many channels for that. But I'm not procrastinating, just taking my time to plan out at least a couple of weeks to a month of topics (shorts and long videos) cuz I'm sure I can figure out some interesting stuff. The biggest thing is little time 🙈 I still work my jobs, and working on kickstarting my business at the same time, so time! I need another 24 hrs a day please

I have a question... for those of you considering starting a Youtube channel to attract more clients, what's the single biggest thing holding you back from starting?
