Quotes
-
[If you’re starting out with content creation,] just have fun with it. Just do what you feel you want to do. A lot of people make mistakes by maining videos that they think people want to see, rather than what they want to do. [But,] if you do what you want to do and the people enjoy it, the people that enjoy the same things that you enjoy will subscribe to you and they will watch your videos. So, don’t force yourself to do things you don’t want to do. The moment you start faking or acting in your videos, that’s when your channels not going to succeed as well as it should, and I personally have unsubscribed to big YouTubers who I think aren’t being genuine anymore.
