The 5 Biggest Struggles Car Creators Have (and the quick fixes!)
So from yesterdays post about what you guys are struggling with I've gathered your comments into about 5 main buckets of what you guys may be having difficulty with. **trust me this is worth the 2 min read** Heres the 5 main ones I found from your 20+ comments. 1. Lack of time & consistency - “Finding the time after work…” - “Cars keep breaking…” - “My crew’s far away…” 2. No content ideas & little filming confidence - “I don’t know what to film if I’m not modding…” - “I feel awkward on camera…” - “Car isn’t film-worthy…” - “I run out of ideas…” 3. Editing & posting execution - “I struggle with editing…” - “I record but never post…” - “Hard to film & wrench at same time…” 4. Growth & algorithm confusion - “Not getting views…” - “Hit a plateau…” - “Algorithm won’t push…” - “No virality…” 5. Monetization & ROI - “Not sure how to make money in SA…” - “I don’t know who my target audience is…” - “Minimal payout on YT…” - “Not sustainable to keep spending on mods…” So let me break these down simply for you guys here and how I have overcome them all myself and how you can too. Obviously we can go really deep with each topic but for todays post let me break it down just a little bit and hopefully it begins to help build clarity around these topics. 1️⃣ Finding the Time & Staying Consistent Most of us work jobs, go to school, or have family responsibilities. It’s hard to wrench and film. 👉 Quick Fix: Batch film on the weekend! — shoot 3–5 short videos in one session, schedule them out during the week. Even 15–30 mins a day is enough if you plan ahead. 2️⃣ Knowing What Content to Make (Especially Without Mods) Not everyone has endless money for mods. A lot of you said, “I don’t know what to film if I’m not building or upgrading right now.” 👉 Quick Fix: Focus on educational + relatable content: - POV driving clips with voiceovers - “Day in the life with my [car]” - Maintenance tips, detailing, car care - Storytelling (why you bought your car, its quirks, your build plans, build breakdown) - Look for non-mod content that you enjoy watching it and take ideas from there! - Save them or write them down in a folder!

@Alijah Thomas Thanks for the suggestion but I am not the biggest fans of how they look but I think I found a 2014 brz for a fantastic price.

@Ian Campbell yeah thats what I have heard
What do you struggle with?
I just wanted to jump on here and ask you guys… • What is holding you back? • What questions do you have about growing your automotive socials and monetizing it? • Why haven’t you started? • If you have started, what are you struggling with? I will either make a YT video answering all of these questions, I’ll try to answer some in the comments here, or I will do a live Q&A answering all of these questions. So drop any and all the questions or struggles you have done below on growing/monetizing your automotive social media accounts! Let’s hear it 👇👇👇

My current car isn't film worthy. None wants to see a 3 color 2000 toyota 4runner.
Hey fella’s
My name is Sean, I am a big Ford and Honda enthusiast from NJ. I’m 29 and had about 40 cars since I’ve started driving, right now I have a 19’ Mustang GT 6MT, 1995 Honda Del Sol Si 5MT, 2013 F150 RCSB 5.0, and a 2012 Lincoln MKZ as a daily. Never made any YouTube content prior but looking forward to what I can do with the line-up or helping if anyone’s interested on how to flip cars!
