WELCOME BACK everyone!
ALSO CHECK IT OUT: Channel Makers just published a great video reviewing video intros and hosted by 2 of their team members! Check it out: czcams.com/video/PBorOWZ4Uwo/video.html
Congrats on getting monetized. You deserve it Nate, look forward to seeing your growth explode.
Hi nice to see you back! I saw the channel maker video and it was good content. However, I missed a click. They didn't even bother to introduce themselves or show/say their names. Donu think it's unimportant that the audience don't know your name?
Hi, I know that CZcams does closed captions, but they’re not always grammatically correct. Would you like me to do yours? I’m not a scammer. I know this request looks bizarre, but I do my own and I don’t mind doing yours. Even the deaf should get your advice. I used to watch you on channel makers and I thought it was your channel. I really love what you do and I put your advice into my channel. You say everything in a way that is easy to understand because you also demonstrate it which is easy for me to do as a person who has a communication and learning disorder, it makes it easier to learn from someone like you. I’m so glad that you made your own channel. Keep up the good work.
You deserve to get monetized. Congrats!
I follow both you and Channel Makers because your content is extremely useful.
My channel is new, but I firmly believe that there is a big audience out there for my channel. Beluga creates tangentially similar content to mine and they have a big audience.
It’s just a matter of time for my channel to explode.
You're just so nice :) Congrats on getting monetized already! You deserve it!
“Your audience is already there” that’s actually such a powerful quote, I’ll use that on my next project ❤
So there's an audience who wants to see beautiful HD Hawaii Content made by a gamer nerd born in the 80's who grew up watching Transformers and Rescue Rangers?

@@HawaiiFoodAndFunAlaskans love Hawaii, let’s trade channels 🥲. I’ll check it out.
I have tried to tell people this for years! Even when I made my very first videos I spoke like there were 1000's of people watching.
Love this, and it’s obviously worked out for you!
Exactly.
Nate, this video made me cry. It touched me deep to the core. I am in my 10th year of doing CZcams and almost at 10,000 subs! Thank you for these tips because people always say act as if before you make it and your beautifully illustrated how to do it to become a bigger CZcamsr. You spoke directly to me. Thank you!!!
Good job in your hardwork
Wow 🎉congrats on 10 years! Your comment is like a sign from the universe today because I literally posted my first video today of a 10 year CZcams experiment. Thanks for sharing this and congrats 🎉 again!!
@@AnandBhardwajShorts Awww... Thank you so much!
@@BrookeSears Wow, I appreciate the kind comment! I would love to see your 10 year CZcams experient.
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget thanks so much for the support!
"Real people doing things that matter"! That's a great insight. It took me a while to realize that my channel was starting to have an impact on people's lives. Now that I understand it and see it happening, it drives me to keep going. Doing something that makes a difference in a positive way is incredibly rewarding. You have certainly done this for MANY people.
SOOOOO glad you are still on CZcams! You have helped my channel in many ways….still have heaps to improve but…your tips are so valuable!! Keep up the great work because we are so grateful for your genuine and generous help!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy to help!
Something I've tried to live by: "Direction is more important than position." If you are at the bottom, as long as you are progressing, then you are going to get there. If you are at the top, if you aren't growing, you'll soon be dropping off. So direction is more important than position.
This is such a unique way to view your CZcams channel. A whole different perspective which is actually helpful, and truthful. Because, everyone's audience really is always there, and knowing that, you can be less stressed. Thanks, Nate!
Man, you brought up something that I’ve been thinking about NON-STOP. I get comments like 3:36 ALOT and whereas they feel amazing and I’m extremely grateful for the people saying it, I can’t help but start to question WHY I’m not growing to the level they feel I should be at. This really helped shift my perspective and this video is extremely valuable. Thank you 🖤
"Never forget it's about real people doing things that matter." THAT hit differently. I very much appreciate the tremendous work you do, Nate. Thank you!
💪 Heck yea 😎
You’re so right. It def hit differently.
Yep... it was an aha moment for me too.
Yes!
Me too man
Nate, you sir are the reason why I went from no voice and always shy to over 500 subs and still growing. Keep it going man! I loved this advice because I’ve seen it myself in my channel. I was stuck around 70 subs the moment I pivoted slightly and started to think bigger I grew bigger.
Thank you for all you do for us smaller creators!
This video is exactly what I needed, today. I’m starting my own channel, working like crazy to learn so many things, and hoping to publish on my birthday next week … all while shooing away those aggravating doubts. 😝 Thank you, this resonates. I started noticing your content about 6 months ago, and today I booped the like button, subscribed to your email list, and now I’m leaving this comment. Three things I don’t do all that frequently. I appreciate you, thank you!! 💯👌🏼😎
You are a confidence maker, Nate. So good to see you and hear you talk so freely...
If anyone thought you were "just a presenter" on Channel Makers you have proven them wrong already. These videos are brilliant. Thank you
This video was JUST what I needed. Not only for my YT channel but also for my mental space while I'm trying to get my art and writing career off the ground. Thank you! 💜
same here, this message was really needed 👌
You got this! We got this 😀
That is right!
Same I’m trying to figure out what to record I have a bunch of stuff I can use for shorts, but I’m also making an art channel!
Same here, keep going..subbing to you now.
I honestly hadn't watched a Channel Makers videos in a while. Not for any particular reason, but I just got caught up with life happening. After seeing these three uploads of yours so far, however, I'm really grateful for your authenticity, vulnerability, and integrity, and I plan on sticking around because of that. "It's about real people doing things that matter." Thank you for what you're doing!! 🙌💯
I love how this goes straight to the mindset aspect of things. I was honestly expecting "practical" advice on how I should probably network and do a whole bunch of marketing stuff lol. This is a fresh take that I haven't heard anyone touch on. I usually trust such advice more cause i know it's guaranteed to work if I'm working from the inside out.
Loooved this video. Thank you 💜💜💜
Hey Nate - I just want to say a huge huge thank you. Words can't describe how you have helped change my life. I started a channel about two years ago and had never done anything CZcams related before. I needed to learn everything from scripting, filming, editing, publishing and I learned most of that from you. But most of all I learned how to do what you talk about in this video - truly believe that my audience exists and that I can be successful. Lo and behold I'm being hired for my absolute dream job running digital video for one of the largest soccer media companies in the US. I did the work, but you were there most of the way to help me onwards.
I know it's not "you vs Channel Makers" and I had even been a part of Project 24 specifically because of you, but even today both of your thumbnails were next to each other on my home page... guess which one I clicked on first. Thank you Nate, good luck on your new project. I'll be watching!
I found your channel a few weeks ago and it’s encouraging to see you started here too! I’m pretty early in my journey (I started this channel probably 3 years ago but didn’t commit to it until Jan this year). Hopefully I can continue to grow similarly to how you were able to :)
I’m happy for you and good luck with the new opportunity!
@@SoccerScenarios Everyone starts somewhere! My older videos are horrible lol but you can't drive a parked car. Just start moving and producing videos learning as much as you can along the way, you'll do great!
Let's go Nate!! Great advice. I have done this recently. If you think small you will be small. If you think big the sky is the limit.
Hey Nate! This is just what I needed to hear! Thank you so much for posting this! It was amazing to hear and inspirational! Knowing my audience is there definitely helps shifts my mindset to be even more confident on my videos! 💯💯
Nate, everything you've said here is absolutely true and I now know it from my own experience. Thank you for all your inspirational advice. I'm working my way through all the vids on this new channel and your approach is so inspiring. The Teddy Roosevelt quote you presented on a more recent video really drove it home for me. (I'm a historian and I had heard the quote before, truncated, but thank you so much for reading the whole thing in context--it really makes a difference). I love your new channel and I'll be with you all the way!
That hit close to home. I had these momentum thoughts for a few months now and you are absolutely right. I did act upon having a bigger audience when starting out but I never thought about moving on when I finally reached that number.
Hallo :)
Ganz ehrlich, du kannst noch viel mehr Leute erreichen. Wenn ich es bis 26k mit ARK Content geschafft habe, dann solltest du viel, viel weiterkommen.
@@NicoDerProfi Das ist lieb von dir ♥ ♥ ♥
Goodness Nate. You are in your JOY state right now and it's so obvious. Keep this going, let it pour right out of you. Your magic is a stellar combo of analytical, emotional heart and soul-fire that makes you one in a million.
You are the reason my channel blew up and is now supporting a level of joy I couldn't have dreamed. Not to mention a lifestyle that will allow my husband to retire if he so chooses!
It's Kristy!! So glad to see you here! Thank you for your kind words, and I'm so happy to hear about your continued success!
Right now my thought is something like "what if... I could have FUN building this and other channels?" Of course there's moments of drudgery in almost anything, but what if it could be mostly fun, all the time?
@@ThatNateBlack ‘what if’ indeed. And you showed me that it can be fun most of the time. I’m so freaking excited to see what you do💃🏻🎉
You literally just taught a law of assumption class which is what my other channel is about. I even have a course called Act as If. The last part of this video is why we all followed you here. Thanks Nate 🥰
So glad you’re doing your thing. It’s refreshing to see and as a mindset coach I see far too often people working hard to make other people’s dreams come true. Good on you Nate 👍🏼
I was going to say "how do I begin here" but I think it is safe for me to say here that:
1) I am crying my eyes out!
2) This has been the most emotionally impactful content creation video I have seen in my journey since October 2022.
3) Because it has had this emotional impact on me, it proves to me that, whatever the content might be, it IS a VERY emotional journey.
4) That I am in excellent, like minded, company.
5) That I need to get out of my own way for 5 minutes and instead of dancing like no one is watching, I need to let my dreams be free long enough to visualise the possibilities.
6) This video is going to stay with me for a VERY long time and will probably govern how I apply myself from this point on.
7) I thank you for that.
I am now going to watch this video again. Cry a little more and dare to dream.
Much love to you Nate xxx
You're going to shine!
@@ThatNateBlack
The film Flashdance.. and its theme song 😻
Love this!!❤
@@ThatNateBlack
Such true words! Such good advice! My channel "competes" within a very specialized niche and very strong "competition" out there. Yet through continuing to apply some of these wonderful techniques and mindsets, I continue to grow. Well spoken young man!🙂
Hey Nate, been following you for a couple of years on channel makers. Happy to see you have your own channel now and moving on. Just fyi your audio levels seem low might want to boost in post or change microphones. Appreciated the content and tips for audience growth :)
(Sorry this is long but I'm kind of chocked up ;-) Gee, Nate what a fantastic way to end this video. That scene you shared (thank you) is exactly what we're all feeling for you, too. You see, I think that you're really getting to us here because so many YT businesses have a person at the core who broke away from a scene that wasn't truly fulfilling them (in our family, it was my husband and myself). I guess your viewers are kind of living vicariously through you, in a sense. You're on the "hero's journey" and we want to be on it with you. We've all had that point in our lives, too, where we had to face our boss and say, 'guess what? I'm leaving. Yeah, I really mean it.' And we know they'll replace us, but in that moment, it is a huge heroic moment in our personal lives. Or we finally dump that career that kept us bound to sleepless nights, sleeping pills, ulcers, or depression, and said, okay, I'm Cortez burning the bridges. I'm going forward, no matter what. You don't know how many breakfasts here at my place you've been the subject of conversation. My husband doesn't yet follow you online but he knows your name. I say "Nate" and he knows exactly who you are and all about what you are doing, because I've been telling him your story. I think your family must be pretty supportive to you. Same here in mine. I am honestly watching and wishing you so much success and (however you want to call it) - that universal love that one attracts when they put that same feeling out to others in the universe, and attracts it back. It's like a pendulum - when you put out honesty, kindness, and authenticity to others, they give it back to you. I think that is what is happening here. I will share your inspirational video with my husband this week. God bless you, Nate. Your friend Robin Bird.
Great advice. I will keep that in mind as I move forward in my CZcams journey. Thanks for keeping it real.
WOW! This is one of the best how to grow on CZcams videos I’ve ever watched (probably seen hundreds at this point ) Nate you rock, I’ve been a fan a long time and over the moon you made your own channel. It just feels so right to see your full creative potential come out. Thank you for this epic video and the part at the end is so inspiring. As a fellow creator it is a wonderful reminder of why we do what we do. God bless you and your family Nate! -Jarran🕊️✨
Mic Dropped. Gavel Down!
I started crying when I heard your goodbye. Finding this channel was a blessing. Thanks you Nate, from the bottom of my heart.
I have to say, Channel Makers is very original, and in almost every interesting video you speak numbers and do experiments.
Big props for this channel, and PLEASE, continue making experiments.
I've said ths in my email, but I so appreciate how genuine and considerate you are. Not only do you intentionally think about our needs, desires, fears, etc., but you recognize and appreciate that we're people. Real, flawed, and splendacious people. Thanks for your support of us and our goals!
Excellent advice, Nate! Thank you so much for all your guidance! I've been following for a while and trying to apply your points. It seems to be working so far! Congratulations on this channel!
Fantastic! Glad to hear it
Thanks Nate! I've been watching you for about 6 months in researching for the launch of my channel. Your insight and passion is more valuable than you will ever know. Keep moving forward and stay constructive!
I'm excited for your launch!
Absolutely agree with this! Talk as if you already have an audience and they will come. I have a larger following on TikTok and have been creating content over there for 2 years, but am new to CZcams. I started consistently creating videos here since June and gained 15k subscribers in 6 weeks and do the same exact type of content I create for TikTok. I get lots of comments like you mentioned, where people are surprised that my channel here is small but it is quickly growing.
Love your perspective on all of this. Being new to CZcams, I've been binging a lot of your videos on Channel Makers. I'm excited to see you have your own platform now and am looking forward to watching your own thing grow!
I have been wanting to start my CZcams channel for so long and, after your help and Channel Makers help I am ready. Decided that after my surgery tomorrow, once I'm coherent of course, I'm going to film and post.
Even though I don't have the best camera, just going to use my phone and grow my tools as the channel grows. Thank you for all of your encouragement through your videos to us. It's helped me tremendously 😊
Congrats Nate! You're going to be fine. The ONLY CZcams educator I look forward to watching because I know I'll get something new and inspiring EVERY time....
This^^^ yes.
People watch these days because they like the person they’re listening too.
It’s already looking like channel makers is going to take a little time getting into the groove of things and finding their flow without Nate.
Meanwhile, Nate, if you’re reading this, you didn’t even skip a beat. 🦾🔥
It’s also extremely apparent, that Nate, you know all this stuff like the back of your hand.
Nate doesn’t just speak with topic authority.
Nate speaks with a depth of knowledge.
Like walking into a grand hall. You can audibly feel the depth of the room.
I can honestly say I wouldn’t have had the success I’ve had if it wasn’t for all the advice and good knowledge I’ve received through watching nate on channel makers.
🙏❤️🔥 So much love and gratitude Nate!
it’s rare that you get youtube advice which is actually unique AND useful. This video is that. Thank you for the awesome content Nate, I owe so much of my CZcams success to your advice!❤
I appreciate that!
I love the presence you have on this channel way more than the other channel. The personal connection is the most important factor for subscribing to a channel for me. Subscribed from one Nate to another.
Bravo Nate!
It's funny, the more I took some marketing courses, the more I realized how your content and what I was learning were interrelated!
That blew my mind!
I hope your channel continues to grow, and let's hope Amazing Gaming Productions grows right along with it, so I can make my game development dreams come true!
Yes, this is so great! It’s exactly what I have been thinking over the last month. I’ve been imagining at least 100 people showing up to my lives and it helps. Takes getting used to but mindful reframes do change the game.
@@ThatNateBlack. Can’t wait to get into it!
Nate this is one of the most helpful videos as a creator I’ve ever watched. Thank you!
Great video Nate, awesome to see your new channel doing so well! Looking forward to seeing your journey as you grow your channel. 😜👍😁
This is really fantastic advice, and we've been doing this ourselves, which has resulted in some really good growth over the last 6 months! I actually received a comment that said, "I'm really surprised!!!! Your recipe was better than most of the ones by those A list cooks on CZcams! Well done!!!", which blew me away! Fingers crossed it's happening! I'm so glad you decided to continue with your own channel! You're one of the few CZcams educators I watch! Keep going, Nate! 💖😻
Fantastic! 🙌
It’s the ability to talk to your audience as if there were thousands watching and cheering you on, but also to talk as if you were having a one-to-one conversation.
I think you have the talent of doing both, Nate.
My social media manager friend said this to me 💯
Nate, I have been watching your content from when you first started off with the team you did and I want to say thank you... thank you for still being on here teaching. My wife and I have turned a point in our lives where we know we need to learn this stuff if we are going to elevate and make something happen for ourselves. THank you :)
I love how you began this video!!! Thank you for always giving us the REAL DEAL! This is the reason why I subscribed to you immediately when I saw you had your own channel. Keep up the great work! 😍🙌🏾
O wow, I am LOVING this direction your going. Going down the power of the mind avenue which is absolutely powerful and works 1000000000% countless examples obliterate any question of it. I LOVE THAT, knowing you have what you want brings it too you. Can't wait to see how you expand upon this moving forward. Hella happy for you Nate and very excited to see what you pump out moving forward. Pce out bro
Dang that’s good to hear! Thanks man
Congrats Nate! Were not quite there yet, but you’ve been a big help along the way and we’re glad we found your new channel. And you’re right, even if we don’t ever have a huge audience, we’d still want to do this. ☕️🇨🇦☕️
I’m getting ready to start a channel, and terrified, and your clip talking to the camera from reading your first few comments- ugh such a great thing! Thank you for sharing
Nate, these suggestions are brilliant. On the surface they’re simple, but their impact is profound. True success begins within each of us, beginning with our mindset. What we do as creators is personal. Yes, personal to us but most importantly personal to our viewers. As I create, I literally envision a single viewer and how my content provides value to them. Then I expand that vision with a mental image of hundreds of thousands of like-minded people… viewers. Kind of like a globe with pins all over the map… thinking globally. Thanks for the great advice you provide and best of luck with your new endeavor.
"ACT AS IF..." is the first thing I was taught when I started selling insurance. It was one of the things the top sales people in my company told me... It's a good lesson. But I'm trying to find an audience that I'm not sure exists at all. (I just started a second channel and people my age are over 70) who are still aware of the important things going on in society and who have the time and curiosity to tune into CZcams in order to find out more... (politics - no, religion - no, science - yes, education - yes, music - yes...). I don't know where to start to even find the first picture. (And I was a researcher...) Help!
Look up Fran. I think she is targeting a similar audience. She also invents little things like the “Franocaster” or something like that? Anyway - that’s the first thing that popped in my head that would help… also, to keep in mind that yesterday’s “50-80” years old is not the same as today’s… the modern group in that range has a more generally humble approach. That generation spent a great deal of time doing a routine, but not an awfully large amount of time really learning or maturing in some other ways - but now they’re very interested in that kind of growth - I dare say more than any other generation, to be honest. They’re the most prominent commenters on videos, the nicest people, the most humble; they’re ready and willing to learn… almost without a matter about “politics” or “religion”; though, you will find the majority are common sense individuals in a general sense politically, but unfortunately easier to confuse spiritually, ironically owing to their humility (which actually ironically creates a pride in one’s own personal growth which is counter-productive to true spirituality, but I digress…)
TL;DR - treat that group like they’re 25 years old. Treat the 20-35 year olds like they’re 15. Treat the 35-50 year olds like they’re 80… and treat kids above 12 like they’re 20(minus sex or profanity) because those are the generational attitudes, basically; due to the confusion of society at so many levels….
Hope you do well, ma’am - and obviously I’m speaking my OPINION - I know your generation understands that, but the one directly following mine doesn’t(I’m 39); so I’m saying it aloud so I’m not accused of arrogance without context or whatever else might often occur…
I’m a researcher, too; but that’s just my way of life - not a career.
@@TarzanHedgepeth Thank you... I know there are people like me - I know there are probably a lot of them. I just don't see them on CZcams so I have a hard time visualizing them and trying to guess how to create for that incredibly diverse audience is a big puzzle. I volunteered at the local library for several years and although we had a section for "young adults", we didn't have a section for "senior age adults"... why is that? I need to know. (lol...)
@@nellies-taekook-journals Society will always dismiss the best of itself… because that generation is a mirror of what is and what could be and what should be (with a smattering of what should have been different; but just a little) - and people don’t want to wash their faces… and they’ll run with that LITTLE BIT that should have been different and use that as their deflection and excuse to be EXTREMELY wrong…
More based in the physical reality - maybe it’s your job to write down what a senior section should look like and what it should be filled with? If you can’t find it… make it! Maybe make that your channel focus for a while. What are YOU looking for when you are seeking a senior section? What images come to mind? Start there. I imagine some of that would be some philosophy and some war and some poetry, and grief and loss, and specific skill sets like singing and writing and painting, older music and biographies, genetics and ancestry, etc… but I don’t know for sure. What do you think?
@@TarzanHedgepeth Thank you. You're right. I need to do some reflecting...
I'm so thankful that you are still doing this and have the mindset that you do. You are my go to guy for anything CZcams that I need to know or learn. 💯
@@ThatNateBlack. I'm still trying to figure out which videos will work well. I'm also still trying to learn the editing part and not make it look like a serial killer hack job. LOL.
@@ThatNateBlack. write?
“It’s about real people doing things that matter”. Thank you for the great advice and motivation Nate! Now it’s time for me to apply the advice to my life 😅
Thank you for this ! I am still learning and pushing here on CZcams. Keep pushing guys !
Nothing is more heartwarming to see than the real emotion 💜 That is so awesome you actually care that much. And that is why you deserve all of these people and even more than that. Keep going, Nate, you are amazing.
🙏😄
EXACTLY! Well Said!
Completely agree!
Yes Nate really wants to connect with his audience. Some channels have hosts that nobody knows their name..
I remember getting my first “why doesn’t this guy have more subscribers” comment. Albeit it was on a short and not a long form video. But man, it felt good! It let me know that I’m doing the right things.
And you’re right. The main thing I learned working in marketing is that it’s all about the PEOPLE! Just create value over a long period of time and they’ll come. Great video! 💪🏽
Wow, this is the first video I’ve seen from you, it came across my recommended, I’m super glad it has. Thanks for all the value you provided, and I’m excited to continue watching!
Really appreciate this message. Much needed at this time. You are a genuine person and I can tell you have such a big heart. Love your videos. Thank you for your service.
I love that you kept a record of that moment and that you shared it with us. Thank you.
Right??
I'm happy for you Nate. You teach people how to be independent but weren't independent yourself. Seems this is the right next move. I'm glad you are on your own. I still love P24 and Channel Makers and will watch both. But I'm super excited for what you build here.
Gosh that last clip. That’s real and that’s how I feel about my community. Even if it was one person who no longer felt alone with VEDS, that would be enough. ❤ great work Nate
Nate there are so many reasons why I personally come back and watch your videos and yes, absolutely thrilled to be at the beginning of this new channels birth so I'll never miss a video now. I'm sure everyone feels the same. We're really enjoying the return of the Nate and it's even better to have you in your own channel, in your own element. This suits you and thank you for your positivity and advice about how to approach audience. Love that. I'm going to get printing!!
I think watching you go through this transition has shown me that above anything else, CZcams is about connection, and about people. Because we as an audience are here for YOU because we have grown to trust you and love you through a screen. But then i watch you say that you are here for US and it’s just really cool. People spend so much time trying to game the algorithm but it’s just about being yourself and being helpful for your audience, which is what you’ve said ALL along. 😊
Well said 👍🏻
This is absolutely 💯 true!! I hope folks will really take this advice to heart. Thank you, Nate!
Bro, I'm so inspired by you + proud!! I had only been watching you on CM for about a month, I'm soooo new, like not even 300 subs yet, so thank you for sharing your heart! It's about real people doing meaningful things!!!
Yes to this whole video! so uplifting. And in realizing the audience exists, you're acknowledging their humanity and their wants that match with yours. Thank you Nate for another great video!
100 % Nate. I told myself the same thing a while back; even if my videos only got through to one person I’d still keep making videos. And I do, my channel is small, haven’t had it going super long. I don’t get much in terms of thumbs up or comments but the ones I do get here and there are a nice little surprise and it gives you that added fuel to try and provide the best content that you can 😉
I like this idea Nate. When i started my channel i told a few friends then after i just allowed my channel to grow organically and as you said there is already an audience. Now in my second year on youtube my channel audience as grown to over 5000 subscribers.
I like how you connected CZcams channel growth to a mentality as well. Not a lot of channels do this, and that is awesome. Thank you, subscribed!
Nate!!!!! 😀😀😀 Oh boy, oh boy, what a joy! 😄 So good to see you!!!
Man, I'm so glad I followed you over to your new channel. You seem more... loose, free, and genuine - like a weight has been lifted. I can't wait to watch more!
I feel like this was my therapy session in regards to you tube. You're the you tube growth therapy guy. 😅 (Ed from Film Booth said everyone needs a phrase for what they want to be known for. I'm still thinking of mine.) This was just what I needed as I've been down the last couple weeks in this thing. I need to work on my mental self talk like crazy. But after watching myself in my videos I actually like myself and I laugh every time! Who would've known by the way I talk to myself. (Yes, outloud too 😂) Thanks Nate, I'm going to tune out again as I'm on vacation.
Im 30 days into my channel and I believe it is off to a great start because of watching Nate before starting it. Thank you my man~
Been bingeing some of your videos, and appreciate all of your tips for new creators. I especially liked the tip on progressively adding more people to the photos as you get comfortable. Would never have thought of doing that. Thanks!
Howdy Howdy Nate. It's good to see you again. Knowing that I already have an audience for the type of channel that I have, gives me more confidence in the continuity of this one. Thanks for this video. 🙂
This is SO good. Thanks for the jolt of inspiration / energy / confidence , Nate!
Howdy Nate, it's absolutely wonderful to see you back in action! Hearing your signature "howdy howdy everyone" greeting truly feels like a warm welcome home. I'm a big fan of your videos and truly appreciate the time and effort you put into creating them. Keep up the fantastic work!
Hey Nate,
I came across your video today, having a little bit of doubt, and anxiety on starting my channel not just for me, but for all new dads and father figures that are coming into the world. I had anxiety and a little bit of fear on publishing my videos, because what if it doesn’t work out. I’ve been watching your video multiple times, and it has been giving me the courage to move forward with my channel and to help those that need help just like I do.
Thank you again and much love from Texas.

Thank you so much for always encouraging us and also supporting us. Yes, you give us a support by your encouraging words and advice. I really do feel like when I’m watching you I’m listening to a friend. Congratulations on your success and you know you can only go up from here.
You are helping many people to do what they were created to do in order to make a difference in this world! You're helping me encourage and help other victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault and childhood sexual assault! So, in a way, you are a partner in helping them too.
Thank you so much! I’ve been working on starting up a channel little by little getting things together. I don’t know why this popped up on my feed but I already know it’s the universe telling me to let’s go. This video just made it clear and connected the dots for me. I always wondered about some people and how comfortable they are going live by themselves and basically having no one around but yet they talk as if they know everyone. It’s the mindset that you speak of in this video that has made it clear on how I have to be when I start my channel. Again thank you so much!
You just made so much sense. Trying to grow my CZcams channel now and what you said about talking to 100 people is spot on! Thank you
Nate. First of all, I am super happy for you. I found channel makers around six months ago and I honestly thought it was only you on that channel. You are a huge inspiration and I am so happy that you now get to create this completely on your own terms on your own channel. And that reaction, keep those coming. They make this channel you, not another unrelatable channel. 👍🏻
Congrats on the monetization! This is some powerful advice. Thank you for continuing what you do. Super happy for you!
Agree, powerful advice! So happy for him too, and the momentum!
I have had my channel for 6 years, I have applied all of the "This is what you need to do" tactics, tags, no tags, switched up thumbnails...... I've done it all. Still can't grow like all of the others around me. I am beginning to think it's just me LOL but I keep moving forward! Thanks for this insight!!
So I took this thought process and applied it to my latest video I recorded it. I'm fixing to start editing it now. But it was a day I was supposed to do one thing, it didn't work out but turned out to be a much more awesome day anyway. I decided "this is real life, this is the exact community I set out to meet, I should capture this moment and share how the day changed". I knew my core audience (which is small) would appreciate it. But I tried to be very confident as if I had 1M subscribers.
Even if this video flops, it will be one of my favorite videos that I will always cherish simply because it is so real.
I'm so glad you're back, Nate. You have helped me so much in growing my channel, and I thank you so much. I think I can speak for most, but the way you speak and explain things to us makes it so easy to understand.
Wow Nate! I'm glad I stuck around to the end. I have been watching you on Channel Makers for a long time. This was one of your best videos ever.. I am affected and I appreciate you more than I can possibly express. I'm turning 60 next year and my journey has been slow on here. I was actually considering just giving up.. you inspired me to keep going. The biggest thing was your statement "never forget it's about real people doing things that matter" - I work in tech..in SEO and I'm dealing with AI nipping at my heels so I had thrown up my hands.. thinking being a content creator would now be even harder. Thank you for instilling hope in us all.. we got this! Thanks again and congratulations on the quick growth!! Looking forward to more!
so true great hope!
Inspiring to all of us!!
Hi! I’m 50 plus, too, and my channel is growing very slowly but steadily. I popped on your channel looking for basic, user friendly, common tech issues, especially for us older folk, like how to use your iPhone calendar, how to use iPhone Notes, how to set phone reminders, how to send group texts, how to make a Zoom call, how to face the window/light when on camera and not sit with your back against the light, etc.😆 When exploring most of your video titles, I didn’t even know what these things were. They were so far over my head and unrelateable.Many of us older folk, unlike you, are way behind the tech ball and were not raised in the tech era, so we struggle! I believe your channel has great merit, but it seems to be marketed to the 2% of the 50 plus population who knows what you’re speaking of. If you modified your content to actually help the mature adult with simple, detailed, concise answers to everyday tech issues, I feel that you would get more traction. This is just my opinion, so please take what you like and discard the rest. All the best!🌻
Knocking it out of the park again. Like always Nate, I'm really glad you shared that last part because it's very encouraging and very uplifting. Awesome to see you slowing down and seeing the importance of what you do. I find great encouragement in this. Thank you so much!
I first came across your previous channel last year. It was when I first started youtube. Your guide really helped me point where I should be heading. I'm really glad that I can continuously meet you on your new channel.
Congrats on your successful launch, Nate! We're excited to see what's next for you. -- Tom & Stacie
Congrats on first video. 🥳 If before, people thought your videos were personal, but they were part of a bigger picture. There is no doubt this is 100% Nate.
I love that idea, of your audience already being out there. I've never thought of it that way before, but that's very encouraging. The advice on this channel already feels distinct from other advice channels, and I appreciate it. Good luck on your solo journey. ☺
You are such a gem! I've watched your previous channel videos, many of them. All great videos! But this one is the best!
I'm sticking with you Nate. You have a great connection with the community. Congratulations on becoming monitized again. 😎
Thanks Nate! Heading out to film today and you are so right, have been lucky enough to go out with a channel maker that is million+ subs and watching them interact with people, and thinking some day when I have that kind of audience I’ll have the confidence to go all in like that… you are so right! Today I’m heading out like they are already there! Film it and they will come 😊
I am still navigating the basics after watching so so many of your previous content. I have sooooo many changes to implement, thanks to you haha. There is so much heart and truth in your content. I hope I can put even 10% of your advise into practise on my channel.
You are super positive guy, whenever I feel low I come here and watch some videos and go back to grinding ❤❤
