Motivational YouTube video by Peter Vander Wall advising social-media video creators to be patient and consistent. The speaker argues creators should not be discouraged after only a few months of infrequent posting; instead, they should commit to regular posting (the speaker cites a one-year consistency threshold) and provide valuable content, at which point an audience will eventually grow.

Questions this video answers

One year of consistent posting and doing your best.

Posting every other week for a couple of months.

Chapters

If you're creating videos on social media and you're a little bit discouraged because you haven't gone viral yet, listen to this advice. I want you to think about how long you've been creating videos and how consistent you've been at creating videos. Now I want you to think about your favorite influencer, somebody you aspire to be like, online, and how long they've been creating videos consistently. Probably not even close. Right? So I'm here to tell you today, you don't have the right to be upset just yet. If you give it a year of creating videos and doing your best and being consistent over that full year and you're still not seeing results, then, yeah, you probably need to do something else with your life. But if you've been posting every other week for a couple of months and you're not seeing any results, yeah, no, duh. That's not how platforms are built. That's not how audiences want to interact with people that they follow. So show up consistently with something valuable to say and you will find an audience eventually. It's just going to take time.
