how YouTube changed my life (and why you should start)

Last month I hit 100,000 subscribers. Something I have dreamt of achieving since I first started making videos back when I was only 12/13 years old.
I can confidently say that making videos on YouTube has changed my life. For the obvious measurable factors like making money but also for a few hidden factors that have benefitted other aspects of my life.
I thought this would be helpful for aspiring YouTubers, if I share my 2 pence on everything I’ve learnt over the years but also coming from someone who still feels like they’re on that journey because it doesn’t feel like I’ve made it by any means. I’ve still got lots to learn, however - with hitting 100,000 subscribers it feels like a cool milestone to share my ideas.

Congrats on this milestone 👏! This video is helping me push through the ‘shouting into the void with no one really watching’ stage that you mention, thank you 🙏.

This video was fantastic. Congratulations on 100k. As someone who is trying to start YouTube more seriously (and also started with a CoD channel like 17 years ago) I am going to rewatch this video often. There's some really good advice here. Thanks for the insights.
