Part 2/8:
You might think that creating your first video would be the easiest part of the journey. In reality, choosing a niche and deciding on a style was a daunting task. I began by sitting down with just my phone, and with minimal planning or scripting, I created what I would later describe as subpar YouTube shorts with basic editing apps like CapCut.
Once I uploaded my first video, I waited eagerly to witness the view count. However, all I saw was a void—no views, no comments. I repeatedly refreshed the page, seeking any sign of engagement. Finally, achieving that first view—likely just a mistake from my editing sessions—felt like a tiny victory.
