Creator's Key Takeaways

Don't worry about getting subs. If you concentrate on videoing, getting content, editing and posting, and you start putting the content out there, the subs are going to come.

It's not a sprint. It's a marathon. It's not something that you're going to blow up overnight.

Be authentic and be yourself. That way you don't have to act every time.

Just focus on creating your content the way that you want to create it, the content you want to create and find the people that want to watch the same same thing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Just do it. Don't think about it, start creating.
✓Be authentic and be yourself on camera.
✓Find your niche and create content you enjoy.
✓Set a schedule for posting videos and stick to it.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Self-doubt about content quality — If you don't like your content, fine-tune it or create other content, but don't put out a bad video that turns off viewers.
Fear of being on camera alone — It's easier with someone else, but you can talk to the chat or a pet to fill dead space.
Time commitment for editing and filming — Set aside time for content creation and learning editing; don't let it discourage you.
