When I first started I had a buddy that was also starting a YouTube channel.
We were accountability partners and we both wanted to make it big on YouTube.
My buddy knew a lot more about making videos than I did because he had experience with videography and video editing, so he was way ahead of me and I felt lucky to be his accountability partner.
During the first couple of months, my buddy worked on a video and finally uploaded it after 2-3 months of work.
During the first couple of months, I consistently uploaded at least 1 video per week. At the end of that time, I had over 10 videos uploaded.
His video flopped and got no views. Many of my videos flopped as well. But some didn’t. Two of the videos I uploaded went on to get hundreds of thousands of views and grow the channel.
ABythe time I uploaded the 10th video, it was BETTER than the first video that he worked on for months.
Why?
Because that whole time I was putting in the reps and making my videos better and better.
He was working on the same video, so he wasn’t getting that much better.
I had put in 10+ reps and he had only put in 1.
So of course I was getting better rapidly and he was getting better extremely slowly.
So his A+ effort on a video wasn’t as good as my B effort on a video after doing it 10 times.
My B effort was much better than his A+ effort because I had leveled up my skills.
And this is why QUANTITY BEATS QUALITY when you first start on YouTube.
You have to put in the reps to get better at anything and YouTube is no exception.
So to quickly get from that beginner level to an intermediate level, quantity is the way to go.
