Part 2/8:
It all began with the goal of reaching 10,000 subscribers, a milestone achieved after seven months of consistent effort. With an output of three videos per week, this aspiring creator managed to garner 612,000 views and earn approximately $2,000. However, this success came at a cost; initial investments included a Canon G7X camera and a MacBook, leading to a net loss due to a lack of sponsorships or affiliate links.

The creator faced a difficult phase while trying to reach 25,000 subscribers, during which the subscriber count dwindled with every new post. This tough period is common for many creators, where they grapple with self-doubt and contemplate quitting.
