Listen to this Before You Start a YouTube Channel (Should You Even Try?)

The Smart Passive Income Online Business and Blogging Podcast

#858 Every famous YouTuber started with zero subscribers. They all begin with imperfect videos and use their mistakes to learn and improve. So how do you grow a channel in 2025? Does it even make sense to try? In this episode, I draw on my experience to answer these questions. Since 2009, I've run several YouTube channels, amassed millions of subscribers, and generated over a million dollars in ad revenue. This session will stop you from getting overwhelmed or wasting your time and help you enjoy the video creation process! Having the right mindset from the start is vital for your success on YouTube. Today, I discuss overcoming perfectionism, avoiding the comparison trap, and creating a minimum viable filming setup. If you've been thinking about starting, listen in on this episode because now is the best time to build your channel! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session858.
