Small YouTuber Struggles

As a small YouTuber, I say we have so many struggles that no one would understand, think YouTubers have it easy, think all it takes is to point a camera at yourself and that's it, think again.

1. Not being able to afford equipment
   this had to be number 1, its my biggest struggle yet. Seeing all these YouTubers with all these high end PCs, good cameras and fancy set ups makes me feel sad. I have never had a job due to a disability. I have struggled with so many issues, adding a job to my plate would not of been the wisest choice. And with people telling me to upgrade this or buy that, only to tell them I don't have the money to do so. Does not make it any easier. I wish they can ignore minor things at least until I can save up and create a better set up.

2. Finding time to record
   with my mom ALWAYS calling me to do stuff she's too lazy to do herself, and having to keep stopping the recorder, its so hard to find time to get anything done, and I feel this could drive people away from watching my videos. A larger YouTuber wouldn't have these issues because they're making enough money from adsense to move into their own place. If you live in an apartment, it can also be difficult to find time due to noisy neighbors kids, etc
   I used to live in an apartment, I couldn't go outside like I can now.

3. Hate/no support
   Its every small creators nightmare that their family finds out about their channel and talks them down, or coworkers/classmates finding out and making fun of them. Or hate from douche bags/trolls. I know its apart of the game, but it can be discouraging to know your own folks won't support your channel. I don't have that problem, but how ever most kids don't have laid back folks like me.

4. low views
   As a small channel, we are always told to stop worrying about numbers, and YouTube because you like it, but if hardly anyone is clicking on our videos, it can be depressing. When school is in session, when I posted a video, it goes a whole day, sitting at no views, no matter where I share my videos. I promote in non spammy Facebook groups but there are those lazy people who comment/like the video without actually watching. If they aren't going to take time to watch they shouldn't comment. or watch a few minutes at least.

5. Finding collabs
   This is another tough struggles. Most people do not want to collab with a small channel. In a group I am in, this person wanted a collab but only with channels that get 100 views a video at least. At the time my channel was pretty tiny ( 20 subscribers, hundred something views)
   Do you really hate the small guys that much you don't wanna collab with them?

That's it for this blog about small Youtuber struggles, now you know our struggles.

Walk a mile in our shoes. So think about this before you want to say someones content is rubbish because they don't have the money for better equipment.
