There's a lot of you watching this video right now that will gain over a MILLION subscribers
in 2020, or just have a very good year.
Watch this video all the way through to find out why.
Hey guys, what's up!?
It's Muaaz here and welcome back to another video.
So, at the end of 2018, I made a motivational video for YouTubers.
And a lot of people who watched that video I think started 2019 with just a few hundred
subscribers, and then ended the year with hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
So, since 2020 just started, I wanted to upload a similar motivational video because I know
it could change a lot of lives for the better.
That last video I uploaded took maybe like an hour to make like last year right, and
it changed so many people's lives in a good way.
And I really just want to do the same with this video.
So if at any point you guys like what I'm saying or agree with it then please do hit
that like button and maybe share this video with a friend, that's really all I'm asking
but anyways, let's get on with the video.
The year just started, and this is usually when you'll start coming up with goals that
you want to hit before the year ends.
Whether that's like fitness related like losing weight, or school related like getting better
grades, personal things like making more money, growing on YouTube, whatever it is.
So do me a favor right now, and scroll down to the comments below, and drop a LIST, and
I'm talking about a list, right, not just one bullet point, thing of what you want to
accomplish in 2020.
But a proper list of what you want to accomplish in 2020.
But keep this quote in mind, "a goal without a plan is just a wish."
And because of that, when you're writing your goals in the comment section below, please
also add what you plan on doing to actually make those goals come true.
And please don't worry about how long your comment is, like if it's a paragraph, I really
don't mind at all, this is something you want to come back and look at throughout like 2020,
and just in the future.
So keep this video playing but scroll down there and drop a comment with your goals,
but also comment on someone else's goals and give them some motivation so that they know
that someone else believes in them as well.
And now once you've done that, scroll back up to the video and add the video to a playlist
of yours.
I don't care what playlist it is, even if it's like a music playlist you have, it doesn't
matter.
Just add it to a playlist because I want you to see this video at random times during the
year, and then come back to it, and read your comment, and then see how you're doing with
the goals that you set for yourself at the beginning of the year, if that makes sense.
Also guys, if you guys are enjoying the video so far, please do hit that like button, because
it really does help the channel grow and it kind of lets me know that you guys like these
videos, and I should make more of them.
But anyways, back to the video.
Like settings goals is great, I talk about the importance of setting goals in my own
life in a lot of my other videos because they're kind of like what inspires you to move forward
and keep growing as a person.
Every single year, people say "this is going to be my year."
Like you hear it from everyone, I'm sure your friends say it, your family members say it,
maybe even you say it too.
But I'm BEGGING you, don't say that unless you actually plan on doing something different
in your life this year that will actually help you make it, your year.
And what I'm trying to say with that is, don't talk with just your words this year, and by
that I mean, don't say you're going to make this year your year, and then just sit around
doing nothing all year, like that's just a waste of time.
What you should do is talk with your actions, like let your actions speak for themselves.
And by that, I mean, put the work in for literally whatever you want to do and everyone else
will see you doing it themselves if that makes sense.
Everyone else around you will see that you're making this year your year when you're actually
putting the work in for it!
I've been reading my DMs a lot, especially since the new year just started and the number
one question that I've been getting lately is, "is it still worth it to make YouTube
videos like in 2020, like is it too late?"
And personally, I feel like the people who ask me like, "is it too late" to like do whatever,
are the people who are literally just looking for an excuse to not try it out.
When I started making YouTube videos more seriously back at the end of 2015, a lot of
people around me told me there's literally no point to make youtube videos right now
because so many people are already doing it, and I'm probably going to find no success
doing it.
But at the end of the day, like that is the worst mindset that you can have, it is probably
one of the worst mindsets possible.
Like there is unlimited potential on YouTube, and just the internet itself.
Like have you thought about it, there are millions of ways to make money on the internet
now.
You can start drop-shipping, you can teach yourself how to program and then sell your
programs online, you can become like a youtuber, a twitch streamer.
There is so much you can do online to make money now, like even ask yourself, do you
know that there are over 16,000 YouTube channels with over a million subscribers right now,
and I think 500 of them have over 10,000,000 subscribers.
I remember when I could name all 10 people who even had a million back in the day.
So If you're coming to this video, you're probably good chance that you're looking for
advice on finally getting started.
Or maybe you've already make videos but you're thinking about taking it more seriously this
year.
Honestly, some of you guys watching probably have wanted to make videos forever but have
been putting it off for years, because people say there's no point, and you're probably
going to find no success.
But then you look around and you see like, oh your friend just hit 100,000 subscribers,
or you see your favorite YouTube continuing to grow every single day.
And you're probably thinking to yourself, dang maybe I shouldn't have listened to all
the people around me who told me YouTube would be a waste of time, or Twitch would be a waste
of time, and things like that.
Surround yourself with people with a negative mindset is one of the worst things that you
can do.
II talk about this all the time on my twitter, like surround yourself with people who will
push you to be better every single day.
Don't surround yourself with people who only preach negative things.
Like you should don't want to be around those people.
*listening to music* "I'm too turnt up.
Virgil got that Patek on my wrist goin' nuts" And something that you guys need to understand
is that in 2019 and in 2020 people have been getting way smarter.
And by that I mean, before YouTube used to be like this small community of a bunch of
creators all just hanging out, a bunch of viewers all bonding over the creators that
they like to watch, and people outside of the internet didn't really understand it.
Back in the day a lot of teachers, friends, family, maybe even people like just random
people on the street, they didn't know that you could make money off YouTube, they didn't
know that there was a bunch of like, communities on YouTube and on the internet in general.
But with people like PewDiePie, Ninja, and really everyone else getting a bunch of big
success, it now seems like everyone knows you can make a career online.
And because of that, a lot of people are more intrigued and tempted to try giving this more
of a shot.
And if you're one of those people who's just scared to finally hit that upload button,
trust me I understand it I was that person at one point too.
And it can be very scary but eventually you're going to have to hit the upload button because
you're going to always wonder how big you could've gotten if you did it earlier.
I say this all the time on twitter, and I know I've talked about my Twitter a couple
times in this video already, so please do follow me if you don't already.
Like I post a bunch of motivational tweets, funny tweets, and things like that, if you're
interested at all, please go hit that follow button, but anyways.
I share this story so often because it's really incredible to me.
I have personal friends that have always told me they were scared to upload on YouTube because
1.
They didn't want to fail, and then 2.
They just didn't want to waste their time doing something that might now pay off.
Those friends, and this is more than just one friend, like multiple friends who had
this issue before they all have hundreds of thousands of subscribers right now.
Like some of them have passed me up, doubled my channel size, tripled it, some of them
have over a million subscribers right now.
I'm talking about multiple friends of mine, who pulled this off over the internet.
So please, stop listening to everyone around you who's never tried YouTube or streaming,
and just tells you not to do it anyways.
Just because they were too scared to try it or chase their dream or whatever, doesn't
mean you should be scared to chase yours, or even give it a shot, like if it doesn't
work out, oh well.
You gave it your best effort, but if it does..
Let's go!
Like congrats, let's go!
Like at the end of the day, you literally will not know if you're going to become successful
unless you give it a shot.
That's the only way that you can find out.
There's no magic ball that's going to tell you, you're guaranteed success, but if you
actually go out and give it your all, there's a pretty good chance that you can end up getting
some success and then leverage that for something else in the future.
I don't even know if that make sense.
And with this video, I'm not telling you guys to drop everything and like chase your passion
or whatever.
Obviously, I do want you guys to chaise your passion, or whatever it is.
But don't just drop everything in your life and do it, like that's just really dumb.
But what I am saying is though, make use of the free time you have in your life and seriously
work toward the goals that you want to accomplish.
Because, I've read this quote, I don't even know if I'm going to say it right but, it
doesn't matter how many hours you sleep, but matters is what you do with the hours that
you're awake.
If you sleep 12 hours a day, fine, I love sleeping in!
But there's another 12 hours in the day that you have to make use of the best you can to
get ahead of your competition, and basically like the next person who is trying to do the
exact same thing that you are, if that makes sense.
Bro I really hope that this video ends up turning out well because I've been recording
it for like 30 minutes and I've made so many mistakes, I just hope it's still motivational
in one way or another.
Man, I can't talk today, or I'm talking too fast.
I don't know, I'm nervous, I'm actually sweating right now, I don't know why.
Oh okay, basically what I'm trying to say is that you need to realize that every second
that you spend not working towards your goals or trying to have fun or be happy in life
and things like that, is a second that you will never get back in your life.
And I don't mean to get super deep on you guys but it's the truth!
Like every second that you waste, being sad or unhappy, you're not going to get that second
back.
So, work towards your passion, work towards your goals, and work towards the things that
actually do make you happy.
It doesn't matter if it's YouTube, it doesn't matter if it's Twitch.
If it's playing basketball, or hanging out with your friends, or whatever.
Go do that but do something that literally makes you happy.
I mean at this point I don't even know if this video still relates to just specifically
YouTubers but anyways what I've been trying to say though is that every year channels
start the year with a few hundred subscribers of a few thousand subscribers, every single
year this happens.
And some of them end up having over a million by the end of the year.
There's no reason why that can't be you, like the person watching this video too, unless
you literally just don't work hard enough this year.
It's literally that simple, so basically to finally summarize the video, I think this
video is a mess honestly, I'm going to be so sad if it is and I'm going to have to rerecord
it.
I have no idea, please drop a comment below and give me some feedback.
Be like Muaaz, "You did a good job with this video."
And I'll be like, "thank you, I appreciate that!"
Anyways, what was I talking about.
Okay yeah, I remember now..
I really don't think it's too late to start making YouTube videos at all, but I do think
the longer you wait, the more of a disadvantage you'll be at.
This is one thing that you need to remember, you're competing with thousands of people
who are signing up for a YouTube literally every minute.
I think that's how it works; I think thousand of accounts sign up every minute on YouTube,
or google or whatever, I don't know, I'm not too sure but let's just say for example it
is.
So, because of that you need to create content that's valuable, engaging, and most importantly,
content that makes you happy!
And if you do that, those three things will most likely find you some success on YouTube.
But basically, please get rid of the toxic people in your life who are telling you not
to chase your dreams, not to chase your passion, no matter what it is.
Even if you fail on YouTube, so what?
You gave it your all, and that's what matters!
So please get rid of the toxic people in your life, and just surround yourself with positive
people who push you to be better.
Always guys, I hope this video was somewhat inspirational for some of you, even in the
slightest!
And if it was, please just hit that like button and subscribe to the channel if you guys enjoyed
the video!
Share it with a friend who might want to start YouTube or is conflicted about what they want
to do with their passion.
For those of you who are still watching this video right now, please let me know what kind
of content you want me to cover in the coming year of 2020 and I'll make those videos as
soon as I can!
But other than that, I'll see you guys in the next one!
Peace.
