[Intro Music]
Well hello everybody and welcome back to my channel.
Or if you are new, hello welcome to my channel.
My name is Sophie.
so it is no secret that i do not have millions and millions or even a million subscribers
on my channel.
and so i thought it was only appropriate that i answered this question that i got asked
by a viewer. and that is 'how do you stay motivated to
make youtube videos even though you don't get to have the same experiences
and opportunities as other youtubers.'
along with the subscribers and comments and all that kind of thing.
so i thought it was a really great question to answer because you know…
it is hard to stay motivated especially when you see other people you know..
excelling and doing bigger and better things even if you were doing the same thing
or you are doing the same thing.
So….
yeah!
Let's crack on with the video.
First thing that i find helps keep me motivated and wanting to make youtube videos,
is the fact that i love doing it.
I started making youtube videos to keep myself occupied and to kind of spread awareness about
Gastroparesis.
But i made them for me.
I made them because i enjoyed making them.
They were videos that i wanted to make and i would be happy to watch.
And i made them because i wanted to.
I still have a full time job, i still have loads of doctors appointments,
but i make them because i want to (and enjoy it), not because of what i think i will get
if i make them.
Does that make sense?
In my head it does make sense.
If you want to make youtube videos, make youtube videos but
make sure you are doing it because you love because the second you stop loving it and
enjoying it, you won't have that motivation to set up
your camera, to start filming, to edit, to upload, to caption
if you caption them.
You won't have the motivation to even start or want to do them, if you are not enjoying
it.
The second thing that really keeps me motivated it when i am feeling down,
or you know just having time to myself… which is rare but you know it…
occasionally happens.
I love looking back at videos and memories that i've made.
Don't get me wrong you know, written diaries like they did back in the
day and pictures can tell a thousand stories, but for me when i watch a video, i just, i
don't know.
it's like i feel all the emotions and the excitement and the memories.
Be it good or bad.
I can feel them all again and i can see things when i watch back my cheer vlogs i can see
how far i've come, in you know you, cheer, or in you know my
energy or my confidence.
Or just the friends and the experiences that i had.
So knowing that i have these things to look back on just excites me and makes me want
to keep doing them so that i can have these like memories
to look back on.
It's like, a video diary to myself that just happens
to be online.
And i was actually talking to someone at a Gastroparesis awareness shoot that i did,
which i will make sure i will leave all the links and i will have a video up about it
when it goes live.
But i was talking to someone there and they were saying that they would love to make youtube
videosbu they just don't have the confidence to but don't
mind being in someone else's like, i was vlogging my day so it was like behind
the scenes, so stayed tuned for that,
but saying like she just doesn't have the confidence and i was saying,
if you want to do it, do it even if you have it on private it doesn't
have to be live.
because at the end of the day they're memories for you and other people get to share those
memories with you, but they're for you.
the third thing that i do to make sure that i stay motivated is i makes videos i want
to make.
I don't make videos that i think other people will want to see as such,
like i don't make it just because a popular youtuber is making or,
you know its a viral video right now so it could get me views.
I make videos that i actually genuinely enjoy and am passionate about and
that i want to watch back even though i hate hearing my own voice on camera.
if you look at my kind of youtube journey, from where i started to where i am now,
i am making very different videos now.
But you can probably tell i'm a lot more confident and i'm a lot more passionate
about what i'm talking about and they might not get hundreds, and thousands
and millions of views, but i'm happy with them.
and because i'm happy with them i want to make.
i want to then edit them and see what i can make with it.
And, it makes me want to do it.
When i got into this youtube spiral of i'm gonna make this because that famous,
confident youtuber made it, it might make me you know confident and popular,
and i didn't really enjoy them that to make them kind of felt like a choir.
In my head i'm like okay, what am i passionate about right now, what
is on my mind right now? and you will see in so many videos i start
my video like 'i have no idea where this is going, but
i'm just going to go with it' and that's because i just let my heart spill
out.
And the final thing that i'm going to talk about today that keeps me motivated
is not putting pressure on myself.
I'm someone that if i say i'm going to do something on a certain day and i don't…
i get like ahhhh i get al anxious and stressed and then when i do it,
i'm just doing it because i feel like i have to.
i used to say okay, I'm uploading every Wednesday, every Sunday, 5pm new video bish
bash bosh. and that was great, and you know viewers knew
when to expect videos and stuff, but it would get to the point where there
just wasn't something that i wanted to talk about
about that specific time. and it turned out that i was just making a
video to just make a video basically.
i usually upload on a Sunday at 5pm which some of you may or may not know,
but that is my upload day.
But i spent like 3 hours filming 2 videos because i had a really hectic week
and this was my only time to film, so i filmed, spent ages filming.
Went to put it on my computer to edit it and it said file error.
#youtubeproblems and i lost everything!
and do you know what, i was actually really happy with how those
videos turned out.
But because i didn't feel pressure that i had to upload yesterday cuz today is gonna
be like a Monday maybe or Tuesday that i upload this.
i still re-filmed this video because i wanted to.
you do it because you want to.
not because you or someone else are pressuring you.
Don't let that pressure be put on yourself.
And the last thing that i wanna say that isn't necessarily a motivation tip but is to just
BE YOURSELF.
if you get you know subscribers or comments or gifts or money
or the team of your dreams, that's a bonus.
when i get a subscriber message me that is a bonus.
i'm not doing it for that reason.
i'm not making videos in the hope that i will get someone message or i will get a company
message me.
No… those are all bonuses.
See those as like the result of what you've done.
Not do them to get them.
Well that is all for this video.
i hope it helped you if you are maybe a new youtuber starting out or even if you have
a million subscribers and you happen to stumble across my channel
which i highly doubt but you never know.
I hope you enjoyed it and if you or it helped you at all, be sure to click that thumbs up
