1
The new YouTube algorithm, brand new algorithm, the YouTube algorithm has changed.
2
It's weird, isn't it?
3
One disappointing upload and suddenly you're questioning everything.
4
maybe youtube's too saturated maybe the algorithm just hates me maybe
5
i'm not talented enough maybe i'm just wasting my time
6
and before long those little doubts start making decisions for you
7
because when nobody's watching your videos it's very easy to convince yourself
8
that you've already failed when in reality you're judging your entire journey from your first few steps
9
so whenever i'm making a video
10
i get ridiculously invested in it like i'll spend hours writing the script
11
i'll move the camera around the room 20 times trying to get the right shot
12
i'll sit there messing around with the edits for hours
13
and i love doing that you know i love pouring my heart
14
and soul into these videos but then eventually you have to actually upload the video and suddenly your video,
15
this creative project that you're really proud of, gets reduced to a bunch of numbers on a screen.
16
And I think that is the moment where you have to completely change the way that you think about YouTube.
17
Because when you're creating the video, I think you should be emotionally invested in it.
18
You know, you should care about your videos.
19
You should try and create things that you're genuinely proud of.
20
But the second that video is uploaded, you almost need to switch off that emotional part of your brain.
21
And the way I think about this is really simple you need to create like an artist, but study like a scientist.
22
So once I've actually posted a video to YouTube, I try to just look at it like data.
23
Because really, every video that you upload is essentially a little experiment.
24
You know, you're testing an idea.
25
You're testing a title and thumbnail.
26
Maybe you're testing a new video style.
27
And whatever happens after that is just the result of that experiment.
28
It doesn't say anything about your self -worth.
29
It doesn't say anything about you as a person.
30
It's just data, you know, it's just numbers on a screen.
31
But what happens when it's not just one video?
32
What happens when you've posted 20, 30, 40 videos and you still feel like you're stuck in exactly the same place?
33
Well, I've definitely, definitely been through periods like that myself. And something
34
that has really helped me over the last few years of doing this is to change the story that you tell yourself.
35
Because think about it like this, two creators can be in the exact same situation and tell themselves completely different stories.
36
So one creator could post 30 videos and think, oh, I've made 30 videos and I'm still getting no views.
37
Clearly, this isn't working.
38
Clearly, I'm not caught out for this.
39
And then another creator could post those exact same 30 videos and think, OK, you know, the results haven't caught up yet,
40
but I'm getting better every time I post and I'm having so much fun doing it.
41
Same number of videos, same number of views but
42
which creator do you think is more likely to actually grow their channel
43
because eventually the story that you keep telling yourself starts changing the way
44
that you create if you are constantly telling yourself
45
that you're not good enough
46
then you are going to start creating like someone who doesn't really believe in their own work whereas
47
if you still see yourself as someone who is learning
48
and experimenting and improving then you are going to be way more likely to actually see some real results.
49
Okay, so now there is one final question that we need to answer.
50
What one thing is actually gonna keep you going when nobody is watching?
51
Because if the only reason you are doing YouTube is to make money or just for clout, then eventually that motivation is gonna disappear,
52
especially during those months where you're putting everything into your videos and getting absolutely nothing back.
53
So something that I found is you need a deeper reason behind what you are doing.
54
You need something that still matters to you even when the views and the subscribers aren't there yet.
55
And you can think of that deeper reason as your North Star.
56
For example, my North Star is to help creators who are basically where I was a few years ago,
57
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.
58
And for me, having that
59
North Star is probably the reason why this channel is where it is today.
60
Because when I was posting videos that weren't getting any views having
61
that deeper reason was the thing that got me to set
62
that camera back up every time and keep going
63
so i would really recommend taking a piece of paper
64
and literally writing down one question what is my personal north star
65
that makes all of this worth it
66
and then whatever answer you write down keep coming back to it
67
because during those periods where youtube is giving you absolutely nothing back
68
that is the thing that's going to remind you why you're doing all of this in the first place.
69
Okay, so hopefully you enjoyed this video.
70
I had a lot of fun making it.
71
And if you do want to learn more about how to actually break out of
72
that dead zone period at the beginning of your journey, then click onto this video just up here and I'll see you there.

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
