About to Give up trying

All of which, if combined with $1.50 will fetch you a good, hot cup of coffee, just about anywhere except Starbucks.

As others have already mentioned you need to get your head or mental game together. You talk like you've lost your Swag (confidence/self-esteem). So, your first order of business is to get it or get it back.

It starts with how you talk to yourself. Sounds like you've been pretty self-abusive to yourself. No wonder you're so down ... because you've been down on yourself ...STOP IT! ... And start talking better. Here's a vid to give you an Idea and the power of self-talk. Then start taking action toward your dreams. You can do it!

Getting on Youtube and making yourself vulnerable to the public is a difficult move to make for a lot of people, because you`re putting yourself out there to be publicly judged.

But - it`s only difficult until the moment you post your first video, and then you realize nothing bad happens. Even when you get negative comments, it`s just an opportunity to practice not giving a f@#$, and it`s quite empowering to face that.

About being a "Youtuber" - just be careful with that word and what it means. There are some actor types who base their channels around their personality and make money mostly from ad revenue, and then you have people who provide interesting and useful niche content and monetize on their own site with a product or something. To succeed as the actor type with ad revenue, you need a TON of subscribers and views. To succeed at the second, you can do well with a much smaller number of subscribers and views. You still need to build it up though.

Sorry Marc but this is the worst advice you could give to a person whom may have Depression, unless you have been there don't if you read this delete the post.

Uh... bad choice of words for someone that's depressed.

I feel for you as it is hard when you are down to get back up but get back you have to! You have done this once so you know you can. I liked Trey's approach, treat yourself as a coach coaching a student and you are also the student. Block time out to spend with your 'coach' to get yourself back on track. If you want you tube to be your thing then get your 'coach' to help you do that. Small steps to get your head in the game. Good luck!

I realise the original post on this thread was over 7 months ago but still believe there are many people in a similar position. I blogged recently about taking action after being an inactive silent member of the Warrior Forum for 6 years. I hope I'm allowed to share this - note there are no affiliate links even though I mention iPro.

I was recently chatting with an iPro Partner friend of mine Munir Ahmed on FB. Munir recently broadcast a really great show on Periscope explaining how he made his first 4 figure day. We had previously chatted on Facebook about how he was starting to attract traffic to his website using the Warrior Forum. I had also watched traffic training videos from Dean Holland around forum marketing and Warrior was one of the sites he suggested.

So today I took time out of my 'busy' work day to see if I could find a couple of threads I could post replies to - always with the aim of helping first. Whilst searching the forum, I visited my profile page and added more details including my Facebook page, Twitter username and of course my website. But whilst checking that page I realised to my horror that I'd actually joined the Warrior Forum SIX years ago !!! Yes, SIX and hadn't posted anything EVER !!! I felt ashamed that although I've tried all sorts of different marketing tactics and invested many thousands of pounds over the years (since 2006 actually), I had never taken the straightforward simple step of taking action by doing exactly what some other marketer (don't know who) had told me to do SIX years ago.

So, after posting two replies on different threads I have finally taken action and learned an invaluable lesson. Taking action is the key and procrastination will never produce sales!! As part of my marketing strategy I aim to find one or two Warrior Forum threads to post on every day and write a well considered, informative and helpful reply. That means within a couple of weeks I should have enough posts to add my own links to my forum signature and attract visitors to either my website or to the iPro sales funnel exactly as my good friend Munir is doing today.

My next big achievement since watching Michael Cheney's first Periscope a few weeks' ago will be to broadcast my own first scope ... but one step at a time ;-) !!

I wonder if other WF members are in a similar situation? My message is not to give up and to take the wonderful advice available from so many other people within this forum.
