Is Being A Youtuber Hard? Is Being A Youtuber Worth It?

So today we're gonna be talking about, is YouTube hard? Like, being a YouTuber, is that hard? And honestly, is it worth doing? You see, occasionally you'll come across a YouTuber who in their video says YouTube is hard work, and then if you go to the comments section, you'll see hundreds and hundreds of people saying YouTube's not hard work, YouTube's super easy, there's nothing hard about it, and yeah. In terms of physical labor, obviously yes, YouTube is not that physically demanding. But something a lot of people forget about is the sacrifices YouTubers have to make. Let's be real here, it takes years upon years of uploading every single day before you get your first legitimate paycheck from YouTube, or at least in my case, and that's how it is for a majority of people. Hours upon hours, day after day after day, for months to get your first couple subscribers, years to get your first couple thousand subscribers. And to— I mean, if people don't realize, yes, YouTube's not hard work, but it does require a ton of sacrifice, and it's a huge commitment. So to answer the question, is YouTube hard work, or is YouTube hard? No, physically-wise it is not hard, but if you think about the sacrifices and all the other stuff you have to give up. I mean, there are two days last week where I didn't upload because it literally came down to, do I want to play basketball or do I not want to play and use that time to make videos? I decided to play basketball and not upload those days. It's sacrifices if you really want to maintain a daily uploading schedule. And, uh, yes, in my opinion, YouTube is hard work, but to some of you guys it might not be because, like I said, it's not physical labor. But you can't think about it that way. You gotta think about all the sacrifices people make to to spend literally hours a day behind their computer just editing videos. It's really a huge sacrifice, and that to me makes it hard. But the other thing I wanted to talk about is— is— but the other— but the other thing I wanted to talk about is, is YouTube worth it? Is it worth investing all that time? You see, typically most YouTubers fall into one of two categories: either you want fame or you want money. Yeah, fame or money. Those are typically the two main reasons why people do YouTube. If your motive for doing it is money, then you're not really going to get anywhere because like I said, it took me years to get my first legitimate paycheck. If YouTube money is your motive for doing YouTube videos, you're honestly not going to get anywhere because it's just going to take so long. And to be honest, even though I've made quite a bit of money off of this, it's all gone back into the setup. This green screen, those lights, that computer, that camera, this microphone, that stand, All of this is expensive, and yeah, so if you're doing it for money, please just save your time. You're honestly wasting your time because it's going to be years before you see any kind of profit off of YouTube, and it's still going to be kind of little because, I mean, I could have got a job at McDonald's and made more money in one day than I've profited off this channel because, like I said, everything I've made off of this has gone straight back into the channel. So like I said, if you're doing it for money, no, don't do it. It's not worth your time. But if you're trying to become famous or, you know, you actually enjoy editing videos, you know, seeing response in the just seeing people's feedback on your videos, then yes, YouTube would probably be worth your time. If you have lots of free time, just time where you watch TV or, you know, play video games, quit watching TV, quit playing video games, spend that time making videos, and it is well worth your time because you never know, you could actually make it. You know, just find something you really enjoy, something you're really passionate about, make videos on it, and I promise you hundreds of thousands of other people enjoy that and will watch your videos. And, uh, yeah, you— I mean, I can't guarantee you hundreds of thousands of people watch your videos, but I guarantee you hundreds of thousands of other people enjoy that type of stuff. You know, whether or not you can get the content to them is the hard part. So to sum the video up, is YouTube hard work? In my opinion, yes, because of the sacrifices. Not really, you know, pertaining to the physical part of it, but the sacrifices you have to make, yes. And is it worth your time? Well, it depends. If you're doing it for money, no, YouTube is not worth your time. It's not worth doing. But if you're doing it for fame or because you enjoy it, Yes, it's worth your time. Give up TV, give up video games, invest that time into making videos, and it will definitely be a good investment of your time because I've already seen a lot of return in money for the time I put into this. And yeah, that's pretty much the video. Sorry about how short that was, but look, I got a mic stand. It's right there, so I can like do all these hand gestures during my videos. It's kind of cool. And let me know what you guys think about my setup. Still getting the lighting and stuff down, but I think it looks pretty cool. It's ridiculous. I pretty much turned my entire room into a studio for YouTube. Man, how many people with 8,000 subs do you know have a setup like this for YouTube videos? It's kind of crazy and weird at the same time. Let me know if you enjoyed. Let me know if you have any suggestions on how I can improve, and I'll read the comments. I read every comment. See you later. Meth equals death. Meth equals death.
