From Hating my job to almost 300K subs on YT
I used to be broke, working a job I hated, creatively deprived, driving a boring Altima, and constantly overdrafting my account It sucked because I was embarrassed of the car I was driving, went from job to job trying to find something I enjoyed enough to stick with, had panic attacks at work, couldn't even afford a Chipotle bowl, and felt like a failure to those around me. But then I hit 10K subscribers and doubled down. I found what actually makes a successful YouTube video, got my first brand deal, and my YouTube AdSense grew month after month. I started making more than double my pay at my day job, so I quit and never looked back. Which led me to almost 300K subscribers, YouTube full-time, a 6-figure business, working whenever I want, driving the cars I want, and signing 5-figure brand deals with some of my dream brands. Want to know how I did it? Comment YES and I’ll DM you

@Eduard Kuiper nice! I’ll check you out fam!
Finally Hit 1,000 Followers in 4months!
What’s up fam! I wanted come here and check back with an update on how the “consistent content” is going. This has been a true learning experience and I have nothing but good things to say. Hopefully this will motivate and inspire you to keep grinding! TikTok: CarCousinDerrick I’ve been able to grow to 1k followers posting once everyday starting back in September! I hit 1k followers on Jan 1st! I immediately implemented learning from other creators and seeing what worked. I also kept a log for every small or big wins to keep me motivated. I’ve made video series, I reply to every comment, and learned what works and doesn’t. The right structure of “photos” does wonders! I started by copying videos that performed well and that had a nice effect. But for the last 1-2 months I’ve been posting from creator insights! BIG DIFFERENCE! Most of my videos now see more than 1000 views! Creator Search Insights helps with what to post and even if it seems cringe or not what you want…ITS WHAT THE ALGORITHM WANTS lol I use the “Content Gap” section. If nothing in that section is what I have content for then I’ll go to the “All” section and look for upward trends with 1000🔼 next to it or I’ll record more content! I also take advantage of trends that are growing. I’m working to start monetizing my content and continue to improve my videos and hooks. I even made a video on how I’m able to create consistent content! 😄 Feel free to follow me on TikTok and *COPY ME ON WHATS WORKING* I’ll answer your dms and help with any issues. Even if not content related. I want to put this here for the community and continue to encourage everyone to stay consistent and BE CREATIVE! Even when you don’t feel like making content, REMEMBER WHY YOURE DOING IT! Personally I want to replace my 9-5 with Car content! That’s my goal. I’m truly passionate about cars and that’s what I set my intention to do. Here are a few screenshots!

@Eduard Kuiper This is for TikTok. Basically you’ll search “creator search insights”. Then you’ll follow the “view” tab to see your insights on trending topics and content gap in your niche. I first look for topics that have 1000% up because that means it’s a hot topic right now. But if those aren’t exactly what I want to post about , you can still use any topic. I still look for topics that have high search volume. Over 100k. Also, compare the analytics to your analytics in your studio. Does the topic line up with your audience. Male or female? 18-24 or 24-35? Sometimes it looks like a good topic but mostly females watch. Not a bad thing but would it agree with your profile analytics? Always check back with other topics because these search insights change daily. What might not be popular today, could be great to post about tomorrow. Hope this helps. Happy to answer more questions or try to explain it better. Let me know!

Boys… We’ve got less than 100 days left in the year! From now until 2026, I challenge you to post every single day! — car clips, mods, garage moments, or full YouTube uploads. Just post SOMETHING haha. Consistency > perfection. Drop a ✅ below once you’ve posted for today or tomorrow. Let’s start strong!! I’ll be joining in on the fun posting every single day until the end of the year. Let’s see how much growth we can achieve in just 3 short months! I think you’ll surprise yourself if you stick to it! Let’s get after it 💪🏼 P.S… Something big is coming to this community on the 15th. Stay tuned! 👀

Intro
Hey y'all! I'm JB and I'm from the Mississippi coast. I drive a 2019 Chevy Camaro SS 1LE and love to work on it myself. I'm working on growing my social media following, mainly YouTube, and getting to that point of being able to monetize. Glad to be a part of the group.
