The new YouTube algorithm, brand new algorithm, the YouTube algorithm has changed.

It's weird, isn't it?

One disappointing upload and suddenly you're questioning everything.

maybe youtube's too saturated maybe the algorithm just hates me maybe

i'm not talented enough maybe i'm just wasting my time

and before long those little doubts start making decisions for you

because when nobody's watching your videos it's very easy to convince yourself

that you've already failed when in reality you're judging your entire journey from your first few steps

so whenever i'm making a video

i get ridiculously invested in it like i'll spend hours writing the script

i'll move the camera around the room 20 times trying to get the right shot

i'll sit there messing around with the edits for hours

and i love doing that you know i love pouring my heart

and soul into these videos but then eventually you have to actually upload the video and suddenly your video,

this creative project that you're really proud of, gets reduced to a bunch of numbers on a screen.

And I think that is the moment where you have to completely change the way that you think about YouTube.

Because when you're creating the video, I think you should be emotionally invested in it.

You know, you should care about your videos.

You should try and create things that you're genuinely proud of.

But the second that video is uploaded, you almost need to switch off that emotional part of your brain.

And the way I think about this is really simple you need to create like an artist, but study like a scientist.

So once I've actually posted a video to YouTube, I try to just look at it like data.

Because really, every video that you upload is essentially a little experiment.

You know, you're testing an idea.

You're testing a title and thumbnail.

Maybe you're testing a new video style.

And whatever happens after that is just the result of that experiment.

It doesn't say anything about your self -worth.

It doesn't say anything about you as a person.

It's just data, you know, it's just numbers on a screen.

But what happens when it's not just one video?

What happens when you've posted 20, 30, 40 videos and you still feel like you're stuck in exactly the same place?

Well, I've definitely, definitely been through periods like that myself. And something

that has really helped me over the last few years of doing this is to change the story that you tell yourself.

Because think about it like this, two creators can be in the exact same situation and tell themselves completely different stories.

So one creator could post 30 videos and think, oh, I've made 30 videos and I'm still getting no views.

Clearly, this isn't working.

Clearly, I'm not caught out for this.

And then another creator could post those exact same 30 videos and think, OK, you know, the results haven't caught up yet,

but I'm getting better every time I post and I'm having so much fun doing it.

Same number of videos, same number of views but

which creator do you think is more likely to actually grow their channel

because eventually the story that you keep telling yourself starts changing the way

that you create if you are constantly telling yourself

that you're not good enough

then you are going to start creating like someone who doesn't really believe in their own work whereas

if you still see yourself as someone who is learning

and experimenting and improving then you are going to be way more likely to actually see some real results.

Okay, so now there is one final question that we need to answer.

What one thing is actually gonna keep you going when nobody is watching?

Because if the only reason you are doing YouTube is to make money or just for clout, then eventually that motivation is gonna disappear,

especially during those months where you're putting everything into your videos and getting absolutely nothing back.

So something that I found is you need a deeper reason behind what you are doing.

You need something that still matters to you even when the views and the subscribers aren't there yet.

And you can think of that deeper reason as your North Star.

For example, my North Star is to help creators who are basically where I was a few years ago,

where you're making videos and trying to grow your channel, but you still feel like you're miles away from where you wanna be.

And for me, having that

North Star is probably the reason why this channel is where it is today.

Because when I was posting videos that weren't getting any views having

that deeper reason was the thing that got me to set

that camera back up every time and keep going

so i would really recommend taking a piece of paper

and literally writing down one question what is my personal north star

that makes all of this worth it

and then whatever answer you write down keep coming back to it

because during those periods where youtube is giving you absolutely nothing back

that is the thing that's going to remind you why you're doing all of this in the first place.

Okay, so hopefully you enjoyed this video.

I had a lot of fun making it.

And if you do want to learn more about how to actually break out of

that dead zone period at the beginning of your journey, then click onto this video just up here and I'll see you there.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
