The reality of being a small youtuber || the boring stuff we don't show you
Many believe that youtubers spend all of their time planning content and recording videos. The reality is that most small YouTubers have full time jobs and do youtube in their free time. Being a youtube content creator is an another job in itself.
I probably spend 6-8 hours setting up the shootout sessions, 3 hours recording video, as much as 4-5 hours editing the actual video. Let's say 16 hours a week minimum, and that's not including replying to comments and conversing with subscribers, engineers and managing your social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, twitter) and also researching and planning for your next video.
In reality id say its easy a 20 hour a week job to be a consistent youtuber. Add that onto the 35 hours a week in contracted for in my electrical engineering job. That's 55 hours a week minimum and I've still got to manage my relationships as a father to 2 younf girls and a husband. Taking the dog for a walk and helping round the house where possible.
We work just as hard as anybody else working 2 jobs and it's a pressure we put on ourselves. We only show you the final product and never the buildup up to it and the juggling that goes on as that's boring.. But it's the reality of being a small youtuber
