(A YouTuber's personal account from overseas, organized and shared with everyone)

I don’t know why I’m writing this post. Maybe I just want to tell everyone: the past year and a half have been really tough. I even gave up for six months halfway through because I was so fed up with this so-called “game.”

A lot of people ask, “Should I start doing YouTube?” “Is it really worth it?” “How long until I can make money?” These questions aren’t unique to YouTube; you could ask them about almost any career path. But the answer is always the same: you’ll never know unless you try.

I used to doubt whether my channel would ever take off, but somehow, I made it work. So, I just want to share how I did it. You can take it as a reference or not. But I feel like voices from YouTubers in the “middle ground” like me are rare. Those who’ve made it from the middle to the top usually don’t have time to help newcomers. I’m still in the middle, so I’m sharing my experience now.
