 So my best advice for anyone attempting to be a youtuber quick just stop stop wasting your time It is the holiday season It is a time for us to be thankful and express our gratitude So today I want to thank Keemstar for all of my success Everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem But focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is all about mental health And what I like to do is take from my own experiences as well as YouTube Community news and all of that and try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being So if you're into that make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell So we are going to start out by saying where I am I guess Yeah, so I don't know if any of you have noticed but I've had this weird clicking noise on my mic And I spent like hours trying to figure it out and edit it But now here's what we're gonna do everybody Well, do I have any boogers? Okay, cool So I'm gonna go into my Settings Yeah, it's something happening on that side of the room and I'll figure it out later So I am on the couch and there's a cat right next to me. Anyways, let's jump into a story time real quick So last year I started my YouTube channel in I started taking seriously Around July and towards the end of the year I had a goal I had a goal that I wanted to hit 500 subscribers by December 31st 2017 Well, not long after that In January YouTube came out with an announcement. All right, and they were switching their partner program And what that means is they were switching the way they would let you be a partner Which means that you get ads in your videos, so they said that you buy a certain deadline I can't remember what the deadline was. They said by this date You need to have 1,000 subscribers as well as 4,000 watch hours and people were losing it people were losing it Right, and it was big news and everybody's freaking out, especially small youtubers like myself And you know, I was pretty bummed out about it But then who then my man Keemstar came in my man Keemstar came in to motivate me And here is what he had to say. It's gonna take a couple minutes, but trust me. It's worth it So now everyone's asking me well, what advice do you have for small youtubers? Quit you cannot make it in this game anymore. All right, you're not going to make it There is way too much competition. You gotta understand this part of the reason why YouTube is Doing this rule where you can't get ads on your videos unless you have a thousand subscribers in 400,000 hours of watch time is because Everybody in the goddamn world is attempting to be a youtuber And there's millions and millions and millions of videos being uploaded every goddamn day And everybody is attempting to put ads on them now if you have any concept of supply and demand Well, there's just not enough ads to go around if you want to do YouTube for fun Just have fun and see where it goes. God bless you But if you're doing YouTube to become a multi Millionaire and have all this success and be rich and famous. I'm sorry. It's just it's not gonna happen It's not going to it's not going to happen, dude First of all, there isn't any original ideas anymore. Alright, there's no original concepts anymore And if there is an original idea It gets stolen and copied from about 10 other youtubers like that the minute they see a little success And because the competition is so steep and so high you have youtubers willing to to vlog next to dead bodies Okay, and you've got other youtubers willing to copy them These motherfuckers are selling their souls to make it and you think you can compete against them You can and it's not like you just have to be entertaining like that's just gonna work. No, dude There's a whole like freaking strategic numbers games behind it. You have to be entertaining You have to be a mathematician You have to sell your goddamn soul and do some crazy You have to be lucky and even if you do all that you're still probably not gonna make it So my best advice for anyone attempting to be a youtuber Wait, just stop stop wasting your time This gold rush is over. Okay. It's gone. Okay. Go go to plumber's school. You'll do better there. Trust me So, yeah, right there. I remember seeing that video I remember seeing that video on twitter and I'm like, all right keemstar Challenge accepted motherfucker. All right. Like that's what I want to talk to you guys about today I just uh did a collab with my buddy k aka bipolar pug I'm gonna link that video up in the info card down in the description like you guys like I I get fueled by that stuff I get fueled by people telling me what I can't do and when somebody like keemstar was telling me what I couldn't do That just gave me motivation and drive and you know what? You know what? I was able to hit the 1000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours by that deadline earlier this year. All right Most of you watching this right now. I am currently at over 33 1000 subscribers this year Okay, so don't let people like keemstar Tell you what you can't do use that as motivation use that as fuel, right People like this want to keep you down because there's less competition You know what I'm saying like he was talking about how there's no more original ideas You have to sell your soul. You have to do all these other things, right? So one of the things is I figured out an original idea I figured out a way to teach people about mental health by using things going on in the youtube community Seem pretty original doesn't look like anybody else is doing it So that's why my channel is doing well, but but then keemstar He had to reign on that parade too, right when he said He said but even if you do have an original idea someone's gonna come in and steal it See, that's one of the issues that's one of the issues that we all face Everybody tries to keep so guarded and they don't want their amazing ideas to get out there because somebody's gonna steal it Well, let me tell you this all right And it's funny because I was actually talking to my friend diane from the channel diane jennings Like people are so secretive about this stuff. Let me tell you this People can steal your ideas all they want But who has more hustle, right? Who's willing to put in more work? Who's willing to do better? You know what I mean? There's channels with less subscribers than me and don't even reply to their comments They don't even reply to their tweets. They don't even reply to their dm's This is the type of hustle that I have so this is what i'm telling you like Don't let people keep you down. Just do better be better. Take that as motivation Don't let anybody don't let anybody especially keemstar Tell you what you can't do and wow So keemstar told me something else keemstar told me a little something else and what this was was I was a little upset. I was a little upset about keemstar. He was on on that better help scam train, right? And he acted like he really cared about people with mental illness, you know And the thing was and I pointed it out in another video This is the guy who was talking trash on demi lavato after she overdosed, right? You need to be a better judge of character and see if people's actions line up with their words Like when's the last time you saw like keemstar donate a bunch of money to the american foundation of suicide prevention When did you see him donate a bunch of money to any type of mental health cause in fact? If i'm being honest keemstar got a bunch of backlash for talking crap about demi lavato on twitter after she overdosed But now all of a sudden keemstar really cares about people and mental illness and oh my god Like give me a break and then and then over his childish twitter feud with pokeman He was telling people, you know to jokingly kill themselves So I made this tweet right here Calling him out for being a hypocrite, right? And it's funny because when he was yelling out pokeman He was talking about being a virtue signaler and all that but that's kind of what you're doing when you're pretending Like you care about mental health when you really don't or anyways, I was honored because he Managed to see my tweet and then he tweeted at me This here's a mental health advice Walk jog run you sad man So I took this and I posted it on my instagram because here's the next thing keemstar doesn't think that i'm gonna be able to walk jog or run and lose this weight Which i'm doing i'm already down 50 pounds since last year But I just want to let you know let people tell you what you can't do Let people keep telling you what you cannot do so you can throw it right back in their face Like i'm sorry this this seems a little um sassy in this video But like I was talking about in my video with k k was in an abusive relationship And like we have to take that because we always have one of two options one of two options We prove them right or we prove them wrong and let me tell you this It feels so much better to prove people wrong. Do you guys realize six and a half years ago? People said a guy like me was never gonna stay sober Six and a half years ago people said a guy like me was going to die before the age of 30 Okay, I took that and rather than rolling over and giving up. I used that as fuel. All right People never thought in a million years that I would be where I am today So keemstar, I'm sorry, but that last part of your comment is definitely wrong because I'm not sad I'm one of the happiest people that you'll ever meet because every single day I take the hate that people give me and I turn that into fuel to help other people and become a better person myself All right, so I want all of you to go out and do the same And I want to hear some of your stories down in the comments below. All right What have you done? What if people told you that you couldn't do and then you went out and did it? Let me know down in the comments below.
