Like a lot of people, I’m making videos for YouTube as a hobby right now, I just started and I feel like they’re pretty good, but of course I can’t seem to get over this feeling that “no one cares” I’m not sure if it’s just seeing the views remaining stagnant and small, or that the people who watch don’t say anything good or even bad about it.I know that’s sortve how things go, you can’t force people to care, which was my initial thought “how do I make people care.” But I think that’s the wrong question, since I can only control myself, how do I get over this need for validation and just keep making stuff instead of feeling paralyzed by this “no one cares” feeling.
>>34494871Do it because you like the process. Forget about views, just ask yourself this: if nobody ever views your shit, would you still make it?
>>34494882As someone who has been at that for a while. I got to agree with this guy.
>>34494882Is still make videos I think, or I’d be doing something creative at the very least, but I think of no one ever watched it I’d probably stop putting so much effort into something only I cared about.
>>34494964I think my main issue is I’m doing this in a vacuum, I don’t have very much outside contact when I’m working on stuff, and when I do try to talk with people who I feel I would connect well with, either feeling we have a similar personality in a way, the ones I’ve run into either want to be very transactional about stuff (follow for follow for example) or do no want anything to do with me. So it feels demoralizing to try and connect with other YouTubers.
"YouTube" as a hobby is vapid as shit. You either make films or you don't. Other people don't matter.
>>34494871analyze your market. do you have repeat viewers? approach them directly for feedback. make changes as you see fit and then come up with a promotion strategy to reach a similar demographic.
