The downside of working at McDonald's is that you have to work at McDonald's

Yeah I’ve had a few videos that have been a bit disheartening, but I will say I cannot tell you how ecstatic I was when I made a poll for which country should start a series - even though it was only 15 people - made me quite happy! It’s the small things that keep my head up.

Your narrative style and personality are super-enjoyable to watch, and the head-to-head campaigns are such a great format.

Good advice for small channels. A real life job would probably be better for most people but if making videos is a passion consistency is key.

It's insanely true, what you have said just now!! It's about building ouwself as well the channel, to grow not just a fine set of audience but also develope our skills in the process. Also it's about self satisfaction!!

I think i found him randomly when he was being interviewed by The Terminator who became my goto mod guy and the algorithm just put Tomic videos on. His thumbnails and narration was like... wow these look great, are we watching a documentary battle with total war?

Here’s the truth about monetizing content creation: from ad revenue alone, I could have made more money in 4-5 hours at McDonalds than I did on my Spain finale video.
But the thing is, the payout has to be the least of your concerns at this level. If I was doing this for the money, 1. I would be very dumb, and 2. the only metric that is valuable at this level is continued growth but more importantly, community.
Views come and go, but the way you gain consistency in views is not through making crazier and crazier videos, it’s by building your channel base. The more you do that, the more of a boost your video will get because of initial subscriber interaction.
If you can pair that with the other 2 keys to a successful YouTube video, I.e a great thumbnail and the first 30 seconds keeping as many viewers retained as possible, you have yourself a video that will sail through the algorithm.
If you’re a small channel like mine, don’t get disheartened by small numbers, because it only takes consistency and finding your niche to start breaking out of the mold.
