Hi everyone!

I know this is a bit different from my normal content (less tutorial-y and more fun!) but I felt it was best to share it here, since it's still relevant information for new vtubers, or even just for people wondering how they can tackle this (especially the neurodivergent folks). I really learned a lot during this experiment and intend to keep posting every day for as long as I can. I hope to make more videos like this scattered between my regular tutorial content, since it's more rewarding and far less complicated to put out. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in this style of video!

As mentioned, if you want to follow my prompts and post with me, be sure to check my twitter. The prompts for Week 1 will be posted already! I will start posting Week 1's videos on Monday, September 15th. Feel free to use the hashtag #pnesschallenge (lmao) 🪫📺

Thanks for watching!

oh.my.GOD. finally someone who only has nights and weekends and DOESN'T wanna settle on one niche WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 this is literally me i love it thank you for giving variety people hope!!!

"I enjoy too many things" felt this all the way. I cant stick to just 1 thing. I DONT see how people do that.

An extra $200 a month is a reasonable goal. That happens to be mine too. This video seems like some great advice, thanks for the great content.

glad that youtube recommended this video for me (probably a result of your effort in the past 3 months!). there's a lot of good advice here!

you had my like after saying you have a full time job. i'm rooting for you from now on.

omg the very opening where you say "these videos all run off the assumption that you wanna become some viral mrbeast mini me" YES HOLY SHIT. Like i hate all the advice videos for this VERY reason. im just a silly guy who wants to post my silly videos and see some growth 😭😭😭 incredible video, loved tbis

Im a full time freelancer / social media guy for a few local brands and companies and everything you've said was absolutely on point. Your insight on youtube and tiktok was great too.  Thanks for the cool vid 👍

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING IT!! A lot of the advice that those  "YouTube gurus" who make "how to grow your YouTube channel videos" give are mostly for Mr. Beast clones, or financial or business "advisors" (basically, they regurgitate advices that have been given a million times before and then try to sell you their courses). Which, I guess is fine, but not everybody wants to make those types of content.

I'm a mid-sized web novel writer, and it's interesting how many parallels there are in any field where thousands of people are watching or reading your work.
In my line of work, authors have to post chapters constantly for Patreon and Royal Road. Daily chapters win marathons, but it requires a certain "fuck it, we ball" mentality. Some days are hard, the chapter's not feeling right, but you have to keep going. Get it to "good enough trash" and post it.

Over time, my actual technical skills have improved, but the real winner has been developing meta life skills: how to organize your time and streamline the writing process. I went from sitting down and writing full chapters with a hyper-perfectionist streak, spending hours rewriting, to learning how to break up the writing process. Now I start with simple bullet points for the main plot beats, then write only the dialogue, and then go back to add polish and supporting details. Between each step, I take long breaks, do other things, or just continue the next day.

Most importantly, I've learned to beat down that perfectionist streak. Like you said, sometimes the silly garbage content you're not particularly proud of - stuff you didn't spend much energy on - ends up being your most popular work.

Anyhoo, hi from another obscure corner of the creative-ways-to-pay-rent world. Your video just really resonated with me.
In the end, the question isn't "What do we want and how do we get it?" It's "Who do we need to become in order to get it?"

Bonus tip: if you have a friend or family member willing to do some small stuff that are absolutely annoying for people that already do 10 bajilion things, with simply cropping videos for shorts, uploading them in 938 platforms doing tags etc that take like 2-3 min and they are willing to help - its a god blessing. Since I do music, compose, mix, master, edit photos, make videos etc, 1 pair of hands is like hearing the angel choir in my head

I personally think it's important to point out that this is not for everyone. It depends a lot if you love what you're doing, otherwise you'll get discouraged really fast. Besides that, it's better to have a set schedule so you don't often get burnout.. But if you somehow have the endurance AND time, it'll help you on the long run

it's really cool to see her effort pay off. i remember finding her really early on and seeing her actually getting somewhere now is motivating for me because i am also starting my music and content creation career (not on this account tho wouldn't be caught dead self promoting in comment sections)

The cube edit goers hard. W video

For years I struggled with understanding and getting into a rythm along with having a 9 to 5 job. This video alone actually kinda gave me motivation. I am by no means new to the rodeo, however I think it enlightened me and it gave me a basis to work on. Deffinitely will give this a try.

Stay awesome! You earned this sub!

I can only confirm all that. It takes time and you have to run the marathon. Very nice video of the whole topic 💛

BLESS THIS. I've literally wanted to get into content creation since I was barely double digits, almost 20 years ago, and the discipline and dedication needed to do so has always just frozen me in my tracks. I never felt interesting enough to make consistent content. Finally, the concept of vtubing has really caught my attention, as it's almost like larping in a way and doesn't just rely on ME vlogging or scripting perfect content as much, but I've still been intimidated by the workload. This makes SO MUCH SENSE.

Posting everyday makes you narrow down your craft. Once you find it, everything will follow. Took me 5 years to settle in my Batman Niche. I was all over the place when I started and a tutorial of mine popped off and I got monetized from that single video.

Hey man, idk why but this video has stuck to me like seriously. As a smaller creator i get it, the rush of life and the never ending want to make progress. Seeing you create literally inspired me to get off my ass and make vids at least once out of the week for the week ahead and it’s been so refreshing. Idk I just wanted to formally thank you, the advice in this video is so appreciated!

As someone who also has scatterbrain and refusal to commit to a single archetype of content; this has been pretty informative; and certainly incredibly interesting to watch! Subbed up!
