I'm at a sort of YouTube crossroads. I've been watching YouTube since I was about 10 years old. I had a really old YouTube channel where I posted a bunch of random crap, and I didn't ever want to make anything out of it, I just wanted to show my creations off on YouTube. However, two years ago, I started a channel that I was DETERMINED to grow. It's been over 2 years, and I still haven't hit 100, and I have almost 60 videos. I'm even more determined than ever to build a community, but I just don't know what I need to do. Two years is a very long time, and I don't know how some people can grow so quickly, when I work SO hard to produce good content. I watch YouTube every..single...day...because I love it.
When I see my friends on YouTube, every video of theirs I watch it makes me want to be that big, too. But not for the fame, not for the popularity... I want to be big so I can have a community of people that I know I can make smile and laugh...I just can't get my footing on the community. I want it....SO badly. I can't even find the strong enough words to express just how badly I want to do YouTube....my heart literally aches every day because I know that's what I want to do, I just can't get a foothold. I want it so badly, I've considered doing what everyone else does, and beg for subscribers on large YouTubers' videos, but I can't be that guy. I want to grow genuinely, where people discover my content, enjoy and appreciate it, and subscribe!
What would you do in my situation? I'm so determined to make it, but I'm so desperate because I want it THAT BADLY. What would your advice be?
