What stops most people ...
"You don't have to be great to start, but
you do have to start to be great." -- Zig Zigler
So, true, eh? For many, the idea of getting on YouTube can conjure up fear, anxiety, inadequacies and other mental and emotional roadblocks that stop people in their tracks from ever achieving their YouTube dreams. Well, here are my responses to several situations below. I hope they help those who feel what's below to overcome certain fears, anxieties, unknowns and questions they might have that are stopping them from chasing after their YouTube dreams. Can you relate to any of these statements?
"I don't know anything about YouTube or where to start?" (SHOW / HIDE)
That's okay, you've got me! Every step of the way ... and??? I'm a great teacher. Everyone says, "Bart, you are so patient and very clear in how you teach. You walk me through things step by step so I understand them, comprehend them and that makes it easy to put things into action. I appreciate that most with your training."
"Honestly, I'm just scared of starting a YouTube channel." (SHOW / HIDE)
At first, that's completely natural. Fear of the "unknown" is common. The difference is, after you go through my course, your fears and the unknown will be completely wiped away with loads of information, direction, guidance and examples to model.
"I need help coming up with video ideas to help build my channel." (SHOW / HIDE)
That's super easy. Wait until you reach this part of the course where I outline how and where to come up with a fast list of videos to make. Then, we prioritize them by easy-to-film and fun-to-film. With that list of 20+ videos, you're off to the races. Once those are done and uploaded, you've got experience under your YouTube belt!
"I don't know what video equipment to get, how to use it or what to buy ..." (SHOW / HIDE)
No worries! I've got you covered because I go over what equipment I use and why, your options and what's best. Perhaps the phone you have is fine to get your started. If you have a budget for buying some equipment, we'll talk about that and I'll give you links on where to go buy it. Done. Next! ;-)
"I don't know what video editing software to get, how to use it or what to buy ..." (SHOW / HIDE)
I've got you covered here. No matter if you have a PC or a Mac, I use Movavi for all my video editing needs. Talk about user-friendly! Movavi can do it all and it's super affordable. We'll talk about that in the course and I'll show you how to use it too to edit your videos like I do.
"I don't think I'll be good on camera; I have no experience ..." (SHOW / HIDE)
Believe it or not, you don't have to be. The most important aspect is that YOU ARE ON CAMERA. That's the first step. What's more, people love meeting new people via video. So, look at filming yourself like meeting someone new who can't want to hear your story and all about you. Besides, with time, you will get better and better. That goes for EVERYONE!
"I'm afraid of being judged by others (i.e., friends, family, strangers, etc.)" (SHOW / HIDE)
On one hand, who cares what anyone thinks? Do what you LOVE and let the chips fall where they may. That is, don't prejudge what others will say about you (going) on YouTube. Instead, it's full-speed ahead with your YouTube plans and see what folks ACTUALLY say AFTER you're out there. ONCE OUT THERE, guess what? You will start to care less and less what they think because the benefits far out way their tiny voices. What's more? You're wasting time caring about what other people think. They have their lives and you have yours. Now, go for your YouTube dreams!
"I don't have the time to go through your course or get on YouTube ..." (SHOW / HIDE)
Let me ask you this question, what's more important: a life without YouTube helping you in all the ways it can or a life where YouTube is helping you in all the ways it can? Then, make YouTube and this course a TOP priority. Set aside time to learn, move events around on your calendar, sacrifice a few fun outings and stay home Friday/Saturday night to study, etc. When you get into the YouTube zone, you'll find you have more time to take this course and get started on your YouTube journey.
"I don't have the money to take your course ..." (SHOW / HIDE)
Yes, you do. Find it. Find a way. If you want something bad enough, you'll be willing to do almost anything to get (what you want). This course is your ticket to a lifetime of YouTube returns, benefits, growth, new income sources, you name it. Think of the time I'm saving you, not having to go through MY learning curve. What's more, think of all the money you could be making after you go through this course? Spend a little, MAKE A LOT potentially.
