Hey guys, so do I think being in the flencer is unsustainable? This video might crush a lot of your dreams. This video might be too honest and I probably shouldn't post it I just can't hold the secret anymore because you know when you meet someone and you kind of see red flags But you just want to be in denial because you really like this person But you already know they're gonna be a psychobitch. You know, that's what I'm having right now Because at the same time I think making contact online is an amazing money maker I just see this giant red flag in the ground that I need to share because it's just frustrating me that no one is saying this Alright, so this video will start off with the fact that if you don't know who I am my name is Jade I help people grow on social media. So at the end of the day this video might just be really bad for me because I tried to encourage people to make content. So if this discourages you I'm really sorry Actually, no, I'm not because I think this will save you a lot of time. Basically yesterday I was hanging out with my friends that go to high school I dropped that high school. So sometimes I like to just to hang out with my friends and see what's up You know, I'm not really relevant anymore So besides the fact I asked them what the fuck was up and one of my friends was telling me this Yeah, so my teacher basically said that being a Contracrater or youtuber can't make money. What? Because I don't know if you're living under a rock, but there's so many millionaires on the internet that are just Doing great sweetie. They're thriving um Yeah, so this teacher was basically just telling his class that you can't make money online Don't even try pursuing career because you're gonna be broke and that's just really frustrating to hear But then as I try to defend this topic more I realize Who the fuck am I to say that? because there are times that I'm gonna share of When I thought social media wasn't sustainable and the paycheck that I got in the mail from Google wasn't enough There are times where I almost gave up and I didn't have a backup option because of what the fuck I can't get employed I don't have a diploma. There's not a lot of things that really support my argument So why am I trying to tell everyone that making money online is easy? So this is where today's video comes in where I'm gonna kind of share the three kind of main Reasons why I don't think big and influencer sustainable, but at the end of this video you're gonna learn of how you can make a sustainable You would tell your parents that this is not a phase. It's an actual career. You want to pursue? Then keep on watching. Alright, so I actually have My notes for today. I'm kind of sick you guys so bear with me. Alright, so the first thing about why I think being an influencer is unsustainable is Your paycheck is literally based on your results not about how much you work So with that being said, you know typically when you're at a standard job You get paid to do a standard procedure over and over again. It's just what you do now When you're someone who's an entrepreneur or you have a business you don't get paid to work more You get paid if you bring results if you bring data if you bring brand deals in right? So it's just very very inconsistent So some months you can make for example one month. I How personal again? There was one point in 2018 where I made like literally $500 it's money is really hard for me to talk about but I know this might be helpful to someone so Let me share with you guys there are some months when I would make enough to Like pay rent and go buy and there's some months where I get to fucking like travel the world So the one I'm saying is it's a blessing, but it's also unsustainable where you don't know when your next paycheck is gonna happen You're just taking huge risk and with that being said what happens is not necessarily the money part It's a problem like I generally have excitement and thrill when I come so money because I know that I can work towards it The problem I have is the mental fuck you get the fact that you have to be working You have to hustle if you're not grinding you're not successful and this culture tells us to work harder because What the fuck are gonna do when you don't have a job right? So like I just feel like we have pressure on ourselves to make more money than the last month and you have to keep working because On Instagram Gary V will yell at you if you don't and I've been there you guys I've been there like I'm actually like physically sick right now But I can't bring myself to rest because I just feel guilty because I should be making this time to be productive and Fucking here. I am making a YouTube video shit. But anyways besides the fact I'm not a good example about this because I'm trying to get better It's just so addicting to costly hustle because you just want to top every month each month as a competition Each time you're trying to work harder to prove someone wrong and at the end of the day you just feel so Tired and burnt out. That's just the first thing like not the fact that you know money comes and goes The thing I feel like the people don't talk about is the mental capacity that it is It's not sustainable for your mind to always top each month to work harder than last month because you didn't get paid that money You know what I mean like that's where you feel like it's really toxic and no one really Talks about all right, so the second thing the fact that Instagram and YouTube owns your data So they can decide to delete your entire audience base if you're not on the internet you're invisible and now I want to be guys are you know saying like Jay like your Instagram won't delete social media will be you know forever No, look Sally. Okay. That's what I thought I have a friend. I'm Cameron. He had he had 84,000 followers on Instagram not even that he built a company on his social media and he's employing people He's you know people are dependent on it for income. He's making a brand love that but Facebook deleted his Instagram account and wiped out This entire business he built Okay, I don't know about you, but just imagine Instagram or YouTube just one day just hitting delete and all the content you built is Gone I know it's rare to happen, but it literally happened to my favorite Cameron So it could literally happen to you. So this is where I think Instagram or YouTube is also sustainable because We don't own our data. We can be invisible to the audience. We create on a for it like that It's just scary to think that not a lot of people are thinking about you know Converting their followers into email us or taking their audience and converting it into you know their own traffic and own data Which I'll get into later it happens to more people than you think all right The last third thing fact that big and influencer is not sustainable because you are alone So here's a personal story. I love high school with a lot of people to prove wrong or so I thought I have to prove my teachers my friends Because I dropped out of high school and it was a right decision. So you know what? Let me show you this idea But I need a work hard and build a bigger brand just because I need to show that this was the right decision is where I feel like you get really isolated Because when you're trying to prove everyone wrong you just kind of put yourself in a room It just put your head down to work you edit your videos, you know You just don't really talk to anyone you just like do it. Let me tell you that's what I did for a year Like when my parents would go out I would just be in the garage, you know Editor YouTube videos. Oh in the very beginning. It's fucking hard But the moment you start scaling your business, you know doing it alone will kill you I don't want to give up creative freedom. So why would I get an editor? But I realized it's crucial for me to grow. It's crucial for me to take that time and use it And what's more important which is to strategy it like the vision because if you're constantly implementing You're working not on your business you're working in your business And I feel like that's what can kill you because the minute you just started being your own employee Kind of defeats the purpose of building a brand because you want to be your own boss You want to fucking buy our Lamborghini and do your shit? And this just kind of brings it to my last point and just to wrap it all up like I feel like the fact that we're Constantly trying to prove people wrong. Maybe we're I don't know fucking afraid that it's right up Gonna delete our data just makes us Really makes me question if this is really gonna work out and maybe I'm in dark place right now because I'm sick Comment below if you want to hear a story time of these more personal situations I don't know if it's valuable. I'm encouraging you not to be afraid about the idea that it's also sustainable I just want you to be aware that it's a possibility and I feel like people are just like being too optimistic and aren't saying the truth And I don't want to be fucking honest if you want to make YouTube videos and build a career because you see it happen for a lot of people Then fucking do it but realize it's not just lollipops and candy Sometimes you can get really really burnt out and I want to let you know that I'm here for you I think one of the things I'm super excited to just talk about is the fact that I don't think we're alone anymore Where I really wanted to kind of bring a solution and leave off is this so yes Maybe making solely content isn't sustainable, but an entrepreneur and a business person with attention Fuck yeah, it is the best example I have of this is Jeffrey star You know he's a makeup artist that makes YouTube videos, but he also has a cosmetic brand He invests. He has property. Maybe this entire social media thing is you know unsustainable like that teacher said you know physically Monterially, but the truth is if you make some money and you invest into the right spots and you keep going and you don't give up I think this is such a fucking sustainable idea people who will have calls degrees still can't get the point job It's just super saturated and competitive with the rise of technology. You know what? No, it's fucking safe So if you're watching this video and you're looking for a sign to start your channel or just just fucking go after your dreams Do it you don't have anything to lose right so that might be really much But you guys get what I'm saying I know a lot of people aren't gonna like this, but like robots and technology can automate your job Which kind of just boils out at this point that Sometimes not taking your risk is the biggest risk you can take because yes I just named three points. I might start a shit out of you people that have regular sustained jobs Also have their own problems So there's really no way to escape this and I just feel like being accepted of where we are and how good we have it and just being Fucking thankful is so important. I know this video might sound like I'm complaining. I'm truly a nut I'm so thankful you guys are here. I want you guys to take a risk You know, just go out there and try it out and realize that there is a possibility of failure But without risk What's the point feel like that's the reason why we do what we do is because we know that it might not work Of going there and the process is why we love it and that is called fucking passion.
