Hey, I’m Justin. I started YouTube about two months ago. I make AI content for total beginners, neurodivergent folks, and anyone trying to upskill for work without getting overwhelmed. I’m working toward monetization, but I’m also here to meet other creators, collaborate, and connect with people I can teach AI to outside of YouTube too. If you make videos in any niche, especially outside of AI, let’s connect.

I'm a university lecturer and researcher based in Sweden, and I’ve just started a YouTube channel under my own name as one of several ways to gradually move toward a more flexible, sustainable, and meaningful life. The channel will mainly be in Swedish, and focus on my own experience and reflection on sustainable academic work – teaching, supervision, research life, AI as a support tool, recovery after burnout, and navigating academia as a neurodivergent professional. My goal is to support and inspire university teachers, doctoral students, and early-career researchers who, like myself, want a more sustainable and humane academic work life. I’m very much at the beginning of my YouTube journey, with no prior experience in filming or editing. I’ve just recorded my very first video, and I already realize how much I still have to learn 🤯. At the same time, I’ve already found a lot of valuable guidance and inspiration from Alexas channel and here in the community, which I’m really grateful for. Looking forward to learning alongside you all! ✨

Hey 👋🏻 guys, I'm new here 🌹💞

Hi, I'm a newbie here, I'm looking to start a faceless YT channel.

My story is probably familiar to many of you. I’ve had the idea to start a YouTube channel more times than I can count. I’ve done the research, mapped things out, and then backed off for one reason or another again and again. I’m sure many of you can relate. Instead of beating myself up for not starting sooner, I’m choosing to trust that there was a reason for the timing. The way I think about content, creation, and monetization has changed a lot over the years. I value authenticity and integrity deeply. If I’d started back in 2017, I likely would’ve fallen into a “fake it till you make it” approach that never really felt right for me. This time feels different. I’ve always loved to learn new things and teach what I’m learning. But this time around I know I have real experience and a clear point of view, and I’m excited to share what I’ve learned in a way that’s honest, more refined, and actually useful. My plan is to launch with a series of related, evergreen masterclass-style videos that I’m outlining now. This way, even if I decide this platform isn’t quite for me, I’ll have a small library of content that I’m proud to share with the world. While I’ll work toward monetization credentials and adding in relevant affiliates, I am choosing to look at those as a little bonus income that will hopefully pay for the cost of the channel and production over time. My primary focus is using YouTube to support and grow the consulting and advisory work I already do (I’m a growth strategist in the online business space), and to promote smaller DIY products layered in over time. Of course, this is just the plan as it stands now. I’m open to learning and letting things evolve as I go! If I’m being honest, the part I’m dreading the most is editing. I’ve created online courses before and know it’s not my strength, but I’m committed to testing things and generating some revenue before investing in support. I’m looking forward to connecting with other creators who are at a similar stage (or a bit further along), and I’d love to explore collaborations with people in the online business niche once I get going.
