For those who want additional income: Introducing relatable success stories and tips for YouTube

Hello, this is Shimoyama.

In these times,

“I want extra income, even if it’s just 50,000 or 100,000 yen per month.”

Many people are thinking this, but



right now, the hottest topic is YouTube.



During the COVID era, more people started uploading videos to YouTube,

and there are also people who are interested.



However, starting something new requires an enormous amount of energy.



And,

“Is it okay to join as a latecomer now?”

“Besides, I’m at this age”

are just some of the reasons people give to end up not starting at all.

I think many people are in that situation.



But if you don’t start, nothing in life will change, so you shouldn’t use those excuses.

Why not change your position?





You may already be a latecomer, but compared to those starting next year, you are a forerunner.





Age is, like before, in your life so far

Today is the day you’re oldest, but

in the rest of your life, today is the youngest.



Understand where you stand,

and if you change your perspective, excuses like “now or never” or

“I’m at this age, to begin with”

will disappear.

‘Earning with YouTube’ A tangible example

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝


However, even if you actually start,

many people will encounter another new wall.



The wall of “continuing” or “sticking with it.”



Even if you put in effort making videos and uploading to YouTube,

the view counts may not grow at all, no one may watch,

and many people think “this isn’t worth it” and quit.



Views don’t increase,

ad revenue doesn’t come in,

and motivation understandably drops.



And in the end, they give up, which is a real waste.





So, how can we avoid this situation?



“Doing what you love” is still the strongest approach.



Everyone has one or two things they love.



Make videos on that topic.



For example, I have a close friend who talks about his great love for Hanshin Tigers, and is gaining traction after a long friendship began.

As “Nanda yan Sasaki” (What are you doing, Sasaki) he uploads YouTube videos,







so please take a look if you like,

This year, I started doing Hanshin games live broadcasts

and uploading Hanshin-related videos,

and recently the views have begun to rise.



It seems to have captured Hanshin fans’ hearts.



Actually, I had uploaded various videos before, but they weren’t gaining traction.



However, now they’re starting to take off.



The secret was simply, “keep going.”



When I started uploading Hanshin videos, there were no games due to COVID,

that was unfortunate, but

I didn’t give up. I kept uploading videos.



Because I didn’t give up,

results are starting to appear now.



And even though COVID was unlucky, I continued because

I simply love Hanshin.



Moreover, that passion reaches viewers and leads to views.





Love what you do is the strongest approach.



Especially on YouTube,

every genre can be a topic.



Of course, simply talking about what you love does not guarantee success,

and sometimes you should quit, but...





still, without continuing, there is no success.



There are countless methods to earn money in the world, not just on YouTube.



Many people buy and discard such know-how,

but whenever you start something, there should be a feeling of “liking” it somewhere.







If you don’t like something, when things go wrong, you’ll give up easily.

The world isn’t built for you to succeed doing something you don’t even like.



Even if you’re not fond of it at all, you won’t be able to succeed.

“Liking investing” is dangerous

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝


Finally, I’ll also talk about investing.



Regardless of what you do

the feeling of “liking” or “enjoyment”

is surely a key, but

when it comes to investing, the story changes a bit.



People who say they “love investing” often enjoy the thrill and excitement of

“I might lose a lot, but I could earn a fortune.”

and so on, but...



If you bring that kind of “fun” into investing, your dreams will surely be shattered.



As I always tell you,

investing is a process to “increase money.”



Without seeking thrill or excitement,

simply and steadily increasing your money

is the proper approach.



Sometimes taking a bit of risk to chase a dream may be good, but

you must have the awareness that it’s not about increasing money, and you must not lose your place.





You might think that’s dull, but

as soon as you seek thrill, it becomes nothing but gambling.



If you want to find enjoyment in investing,

for example, make investing friends

and find enjoyment there.



In fact, even in Stock Academy there are people who say

“I keep learning because I have friends.”





So with that, thank you for watching until the end today as well.

Thank you.
