Eric Siu tells beginner creators to start by documenting their own journey and progress, then shift to how-to videos once they have expertise. He pushes back on excuses like lack of time or experience, saying everyone starts from zero.
Let's say you're starting out. Let's say you're 18 years old and you're watching this right now and you're like, okay, well, I don't have much experience right now. Well, what you can do is you can share your journey. And then as you start to get better, as you start to pick up more experience, then you can start to share those learnings and you can start to make more how-to videos. That's how you can get going. Most people want to absolve themselves of the responsibility of being excellent. So they make these excuses around, oh, I just don't have enough time. I don't have enough experience, blah, blah, blah. But everyone started from that. Nobody really had a lot of experience. Some people had more work experience maybe, but you know, that's an example of how you can start to document first before you start to focus on creating.
