00:00:05,150 --> 00:00:14,450
Hello and welcome back, and this is the section about YouTube psychology, a full disclaimer here,

2
00:00:14,450 --> 00:00:15,610
I'm no psychologist.

3
00:00:15,620 --> 00:00:18,290
I don't have any psychology experience.

4
00:00:18,290 --> 00:00:20,780
I'm not professional in any way, shape or form.

5
00:00:20,930 --> 00:00:27,470
And everything coming from this section is coming from my own experience that things that I've experienced

6
00:00:27,470 --> 00:00:30,080
myself's myself or how I dealt with it.

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:36,620
And it is in no shape, way or form is any medical advice.

8
00:00:36,620 --> 00:00:42,800
And if you feel like you need some medical help, please, please, please get some medical help, because

9
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,590
there is no shame in it and everyone once in awhile needs it.

10
00:00:47,180 --> 00:00:54,260
So in this section, we're going to be talking about your mental state as a utopia and how you can actually

11
00:00:54,260 --> 00:01:02,200
deal with some things and how you need to look at YouTube because you never, probably never knew this

12
00:01:02,210 --> 00:01:03,590
if you haven't experienced it.

13
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:13,880
But YouTube is very heavy mental stress and many people just break and just just leave it, abandon

14
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,910
YouTube altogether because of this mental stress.

15
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:23,450
And in this section, I will try to talk about this, try to give you whatever I experienced in my years

16
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:28,180
of journey on YouTube and what I did and possibly what you can do as well.

17
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,640
But first, let's set up the YouTube.

18
00:01:32,660 --> 00:01:40,700
How can the mental expectation, probably what you are expecting from the YouTube and what reality is?

19
00:01:41,180 --> 00:01:48,680
And more often than not, we have some idealistic expectations of YouTube expecting something huge and

20
00:01:48,690 --> 00:01:56,720
life changing from it, because we've seen a lot of success stories on YouTube and now we want to be

21
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,950
the next success story.

22
00:01:57,950 --> 00:02:02,180
And more often than not, it is not the case.

23
00:02:02,810 --> 00:02:09,080
So we'll just talk about what expectations are and what realities are and just continue with it.

24
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,460
Your expectations are most likely wrong.

25
00:02:12,770 --> 00:02:19,640
So usually people are expecting that they will start a YouTube channel and they will be successful very

26
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:20,450
soon.

27
00:02:20,690 --> 00:02:28,760
And the fact of the starting of the YouTube channel is deemed as a huge step forward is a huge leap

28
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,200
and a huge accomplishment.

29
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:34,580
And people are thinking that they will start YouTube channel if they will create a YouTube channel,

30
00:02:34,580 --> 00:02:41,090
if they will create video and even videos, if they offer video or even videos, in some cases, they

31
00:02:41,090 --> 00:02:47,870
will be guaranteed to be successful, which is not just almost every time.

32
00:02:48,260 --> 00:02:51,770
It's practically absolutely every time wrong.

33
00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:59,600
And the reality is that you will get close to no views for your videos even after months since they've

34
00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:00,830
been uploaded.

35
00:03:00,830 --> 00:03:06,790
It's a sad but absolute reality and you have to live with it.

36
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,970
There was nothing wrong with it.

37
00:03:08,150 --> 00:03:14,190
It just the reality is that you don't have to follow the expectations of false expectations that people

38
00:03:14,190 --> 00:03:20,990
will give you that oh, do these five things and you are going to get thousand subscribers in one month.

39
00:03:21,020 --> 00:03:22,910
It's just a click away.

40
00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:24,590
The just the marketing buzzwords.

41
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,620
It will not work.

42
00:03:28,220 --> 00:03:29,720
It's an absolute reality.

43
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:40,550
There are some people, some very, very, very rare expectations that will make this work.

44
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:42,410
Very rare expectations.

45
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:48,440
And it is higher the chance for you to get struck by lightning than to be such an individual.

46
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:54,860
So just don't treat yourself as a very rare and very minor expectations, treat yourself as an average

47
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:59,060
individual and treat yourself in the real way.

48
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,400
Now, let's just talk about the next thing.

49
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:09,590
You focus on the wrong things while your YouTube channel, you focused on subscribers, on monetization,

50
00:04:09,590 --> 00:04:16,490
on money, on dates, on deadlines, on everything like that, on numbers, way too much.

51
00:04:16,490 --> 00:04:21,290
You one hundred subscribers in one month, you want to get monetize in three months and reality will

52
00:04:21,290 --> 00:04:21,590
hit.

53
00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:22,790
You want to start the channel.

54
00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:26,270
Three months have passed and you only have ten subscribers.

55
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,000
What is wrong with me?

56
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,230
You might say, oh, I am a failure, you will say.

57
00:04:33,230 --> 00:04:35,990
But no, that's an absolute normal thing.

58
00:04:35,990 --> 00:04:41,900
Three months pass and transcriber's, probably ninety nine point nine percent of the people on YouTube

59
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:42,770
have experienced this.

60
00:04:43,190 --> 00:04:45,020
You're not an exception.

61
00:04:45,020 --> 00:04:46,040
Even in a bad things.

62
00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:51,230
You are regular and it is normal to be like that.

63
00:04:51,230 --> 00:04:52,580
It's absolutely normal.

64
00:04:52,580 --> 00:04:54,110
There is nothing wrong with that.

65
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,780
There's nothing wrong getting only ten subscribers in three months.

66
00:04:57,140 --> 00:04:59,000
You just haven't reached your audiences yet.

67
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,440
You have just found your audience.

68
00:05:00,950 --> 00:05:01,910
That's OK.

69
00:05:02,330 --> 00:05:03,980
Just you need to give it a time.

70
00:05:04,330 --> 00:05:10,330
It's completely fine, it's completely fine to not reach success in arbitrary short amount of time.

71
00:05:10,450 --> 00:05:12,600
It's completely fine.

72
00:05:12,970 --> 00:05:15,960
YouTube is not a sprint, it's a marathon.

73
00:05:15,970 --> 00:05:20,460
You are focusing on longer term goals, not on a short and shorter terms.

74
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:24,060
You want hundred thousand subscribers may be probably right.

75
00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:26,590
Probably everyone wants a hundred thousand drivers.

76
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:32,620
And what if I told you that you will get hundreds of subscribers, but I will not tell you when you

77
00:05:32,620 --> 00:05:33,250
are going to get it.

78
00:05:34,090 --> 00:05:37,060
And what if this number is five years from now?

79
00:05:37,390 --> 00:05:38,170
Will you be sad?

80
00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:43,980
Probably not you, you know, that at least if you work for five years, you will get those subscribers,

81
00:05:43,990 --> 00:05:47,980
but five years seems quite a while from now.

82
00:05:47,980 --> 00:05:52,940
But when five year will pass, you'll say, oh, crap, I should have done it five years ago.

83
00:05:53,050 --> 00:05:54,670
So don't focus on arbitrary numbers.

84
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:56,680
Next is money.

85
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:57,870
Oh, boy.

86
00:05:57,910 --> 00:06:00,910
How many people are starting Nuccio because of money?

87
00:06:01,630 --> 00:06:06,130
And yeah, actually money comes from YouTube, but it comes later.

88
00:06:06,130 --> 00:06:08,350
It can come from the very beginning.

89
00:06:08,350 --> 00:06:13,540
But again, in very exceptional cases, it will come from early.

90
00:06:13,780 --> 00:06:19,630
And if you work on YouTube like a business, it will come through here earlier than you will even get

91
00:06:19,630 --> 00:06:20,200
monetized.

92
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:24,100
As an example, I am monetizing the channels so well.

93
00:06:24,130 --> 00:06:27,880
I was as the challenge with the last one hundred subscribers and still getting money from it.

94
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,390
Not the not the YouTube access monetization, but a different proposition.

95
00:06:32,050 --> 00:06:37,120
But in the high chance that you will not be not be able and not be able to do it, you will not do this

96
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:43,330
because you will expect that sense and just put get make money without any additional work.

97
00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:50,080
And the reality is that even if you get five thousand, you're probably be making about twenty dollars

98
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,500
per month.

99
00:06:51,450 --> 00:06:56,120
Five thousand subscribers for majority of the people is very good about subscribers, right?

100
00:06:56,140 --> 00:06:57,550
It's a very good number.

101
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:04,280
But the reality is like that, but that not a lot of money can be made from an access and you need to

102
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:10,760
understand that as well, you will become big enough soon enough that you will understand how you can

103
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,690
actually use your channel and utilize a channel in order in order to make more money.

104
00:07:15,170 --> 00:07:22,370
But you need to focus on this way later and just do those things.

105
00:07:22,780 --> 00:07:25,040
You have a really real expectations.

106
00:07:25,610 --> 00:07:32,790
Do YouTube because you want to do it, not because of the numbers, not because of the money, due to

107
00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:39,440
YouTube, because you want to create do YouTube, because you want to convey your message, do YouTube

108
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,240
because you want to say what, what, what you feel and what bothers you.

109
00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:48,280
Do YouTube because you want to help people, not because you expect something in return.

110
00:07:49,310 --> 00:07:50,270
Don't do this.

111
00:07:50,540 --> 00:07:56,510
If you expect something in return, like numbers or money, people will feel it, everyone will feel

112
00:07:56,510 --> 00:07:56,720
it.

113
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,320
And if they want you to feel it and you will feel.

114
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:07,660
Don't you feel not because it will not happen, it probably will, but it will happen so much later

115
00:08:07,780 --> 00:08:12,590
that you'll be broken down already and you would not want to do this anymore.

116
00:08:12,970 --> 00:08:18,570
Next, have fun doing doing it or not do it at all.

117
00:08:19,750 --> 00:08:25,120
If you don't have fun, if you are struggling with every single video you record now, you struggle.

118
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,860
If you are miserable, if you don't want to record the video, if you don't want to edit the video,

119
00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:34,810
if you don't want to upload your video, if you don't want anyone here to hear your voice, you don't

120
00:08:34,810 --> 00:08:39,280
want anyone to hear your you see your face.

121
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,600
It's OK.

122
00:08:40,990 --> 00:08:42,900
Don't don't do it.

123
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,800
Nobody's forcing you.

124
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,270
You are forcing yourself.

125
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,130
Don't force yourself.

126
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,550
If you don't want to do this, don't do it.

127
00:08:52,060 --> 00:08:54,330
Not doing is OK as well.

128
00:08:54,460 --> 00:08:56,080
Focus on something else.

129
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,630
Maybe you are not ready for this time.

130
00:08:58,630 --> 00:09:00,190
Maybe you will be ready in a few years.

131
00:09:00,190 --> 00:09:01,420
Maybe already in a few weeks.

132
00:09:01,930 --> 00:09:03,250
Maybe already a few days.

133
00:09:03,850 --> 00:09:07,480
If you don't want to do this, if you're not having fun doing it, don't.

134
00:09:07,690 --> 00:09:09,820
It's perfectly fine.

135
00:09:10,420 --> 00:09:13,840
Not doing it is perfectly fine as well.

136
00:09:13,850 --> 00:09:17,920
Don't have any numerical expectations.

137
00:09:18,190 --> 00:09:18,550
I mean that.

138
00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:20,080
Don't expect any numbers.

139
00:09:20,650 --> 00:09:24,100
Numbers are indicators of your success.

140
00:09:24,340 --> 00:09:27,250
It is not success itself.

141
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:34,690
You might have 100000 subscribers in making hundred dollars a month, you nobody will see that, but

142
00:09:34,690 --> 00:09:38,950
everybody will see 200000 subscribers, everybody will see you have numbers.

143
00:09:38,950 --> 00:09:43,300
But in actual reality, you don't have success because you bought these subscribers.

144
00:09:43,420 --> 00:09:45,700
Maybe you just told people to get this.

145
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,680
Just people don't watch your videos anymore.

146
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,450
It's not an indicator of success.

147
00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:53,800
It is I mean, it is an indicator of success.

148
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,390
One of the indicators of success, probably, but it is not success itself.

149
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:06,670
Don't expect any numbers, don't go with to the YouTube saying that I'm going to get hundreds of subscribers

150
00:10:06,670 --> 00:10:09,640
in X amount of time, I'm going to make thousand dollars in Y amount of time.

151
00:10:10,180 --> 00:10:15,100
Don't please you will be doing yourself a disservice.

152
00:10:15,970 --> 00:10:17,080
Take care of yourself.

153
00:10:17,230 --> 00:10:18,850
Don't do yourself a disservice.

154
00:10:19,090 --> 00:10:22,330
It is okay to fail.

155
00:10:23,620 --> 00:10:31,480
Everybody wants to do this for the first time, but it's OK to fail, you might create 10 different

156
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,570
YouTube channels until you create one that is successful.

157
00:10:34,810 --> 00:10:36,160
You might fail 10 times.

158
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,750
You might even feel 100 times.

159
00:10:38,350 --> 00:10:41,800
You need to be successful only once.

160
00:10:42,490 --> 00:10:45,070
And remember, failure is a lesson.

161
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:49,660
Just get up and start all over again or do something else.

162
00:10:50,050 --> 00:10:51,130
It's OK.

163
00:10:51,790 --> 00:10:54,430
It is OK to fail.

164
00:10:54,910 --> 00:10:59,880
We are the entire world is growing up in a culture of teaching us all.

165
00:10:59,890 --> 00:11:01,120
Failure is not an option.

166
00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:04,510
You will fail if you will fail.

167
00:11:04,510 --> 00:11:05,170
Why you are.

168
00:11:05,510 --> 00:11:10,300
You are treating it like the thing that is not an option doesn't exist or you shouldn't feel something

169
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:11,650
that you will fail.

170
00:11:11,650 --> 00:11:15,430
Everybody fails before you start walking while you would.

171
00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:17,140
You are a toddler, you failed.

172
00:11:17,140 --> 00:11:21,100
Then you fail probably a thousand times now, maybe not maybe a thousand at least hundred times.

173
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,890
But you will learn how to walk, right?

174
00:11:25,050 --> 00:11:26,550
So you need to do this as well.

175
00:11:27,490 --> 00:11:33,760
Here as well, failed a thousand times, you need to have success only once when you were a success

176
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:34,060
once.

177
00:11:34,060 --> 00:11:39,970
You already know how to reach success next thousand times, but it's OK to fail first thousand times

178
00:11:40,090 --> 00:11:45,820
because you watch the results and the results and failing is just a part of the way.

179
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:47,450
Remember that?

180
00:11:48,750 --> 00:11:53,700
And focus on creation, that's what YouTube is all about.

181
00:11:53,730 --> 00:11:56,130
YouTube is all about the creation.

182
00:11:56,430 --> 00:11:58,720
It's all about creating the content.

183
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,610
You are not a YouTube or your YouTube creator.

184
00:12:02,910 --> 00:12:04,260
You are creator.

185
00:12:04,290 --> 00:12:05,190
Act like one.

186
00:12:05,340 --> 00:12:06,930
Act like a creator.

187
00:12:07,140 --> 00:12:09,150
Be a parent your content.

188
00:12:09,420 --> 00:12:12,240
Love it, nurture it, improve it.

189
00:12:12,930 --> 00:12:15,300
Take care of your content.

190
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:21,590
Be a creator and you will suddenly realize that how everything else comes with it.

191
00:12:22,260 --> 00:12:28,650
When you focus on creating, you're creating something beautiful, something amazing, something impactful.

192
00:12:29,820 --> 00:12:35,230
Eventually, not not for the first time, but eventually so focus on creation and everything else.

193
00:12:35,250 --> 00:12:40,020
Every numerical value that you are want arbitrarily will come.

194
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:42,550
Well, this is it for this one.

195
00:12:42,690 --> 00:12:43,670
Let's go to the next lecture.
