What's my advice for new content creators starting out this year?
今年から始める新しいコンテンツクリエイターへの私のアドバイスは何でしょう？
Firstly, life becomes a lot easier when you have some sort of monetization vehicle attached to your content from day one.
まず、初日からコンテンツに何らかの収益化の手段を付けておくと、人生はずっと楽になります。
If you care about making money, it is very unlikely that you'll make money quickly from just doing content.
お金を稼ぐことを重視するなら、コンテンツだけですぐにお金を稼げる可能性は非常に低いです。
But if you have some kind of business where you are offering a valuable service or product to someone in return for money, and then your content is a lead generation driver for the business, then your content becomes a lot more sustainable because you're making money from day one rather than just ploughing money and time and effort into it and not seeing a return.
でも、何かビジネスがあって、価値あるサービスや商品をお金と引き換えに提供していて、そしてコンテンツがそのビジネスのための見込み客獲得の原動力になっているなら、初日からお金を稼げるので、コンテンツはずっと持続可能になります。お金と時間と労力をつぎ込むだけでリターンが見えない状態とは違うのです。
When I started my YouTube channel, I actually had a courses business where I was teaching kids how to get into med school.
私がYouTubeチャンネルを始めたとき、実は子供たちに医学部への入り方を教える講座ビジネスをやっていました。
Even though I was only getting like ten, twenty, thirty views on my videos, some small percentage of those was still converting into sales, and so I was almost making money from day one, which is definitely a thing that made the journey feel much more sustainable early on.
動画の再生回数が10回、20回、30回くらいしかなくても、そのうちのごく一部はそれでも売上につながっていたので、ほぼ初日からお金を稼げていて、それが初期の道のりを持続可能に感じさせたのは間違いありません。
The second thing is, it sounds cliche, but focus on enjoying the process.
2つ目は、ありきたりに聞こえますが、プロセスを楽しむことに集中することです。
If you are enjoying it, that is what creates the sustainable energy to make it sustainable over time.
楽しんでいれば、それが持続可能なエネルギーを生み出し、長期的に続けられるようになります。
And the only way to succeed in content is to do it for long enough to see success.
そして、コンテンツで成功する唯一の方法は、成功が見えるまで十分に長く続けることです。
The reason why it's hard is because most people quit way before they see any kind of success because they're just not playing the long game.
難しい理由は、ほとんどの人が何らかの成功を見るよりずっと前に辞めてしまうからで、長期戦を戦っていないだけなのです。
And enjoying it is the surefire hack for actually being able to play the long game.
そして、それを楽しむことが、長期戦を実際に続けられるための確実な秘訣です。
And the third thing I would say is train the muscle of underthinking.
そして3つ目に言いたいのは、考えすぎない筋肉を鍛えることです。
I suspect if you ask that question, if watching this, you're probably prone to overthinking.
この質問をするなら、これを見ているあなたは、おそらく考えすぎる傾向があると思います。
I met someone the other day who's starting a business and has been agonizing for about six months about her very first Instagram post.
先日、ビジネスを始めようとしている人に会ったのですが、彼女は最初のインスタグラムの投稿について約6ヶ月も悩み続けています。
She has like three followers, and she's spent six months agonizing about one post on Instagram.
フォロワーは3人くらいなのに、インスタグラムの1つの投稿について6ヶ月も悩んでいるんです。
It's almost as if she's like, man, as long as I just get that one post right, then that will be the thing that makes or breaks my career.
まるで彼女が「とにかくこの1回の投稿さえうまくいけば、それがキャリアの分かれ目になる」みたいに考えているかのようで。
And it's like obviously not.
でも明らかにそんなことはないんです。
Like look at anyone who's big on Instagram; they've got thousands, tens of thousands of posts.
インスタで人気の人を見てみてください、何千、何万もの投稿をしています。
You don't even see them because of the algorithm and stuff.
アルゴリズムとかのせいで、あなたはそれらを目にすることすらない。
So like developing the muscle of underthinking and just doing stuff without thinking too hard about it is a real asset as a content creator, especially when you're just getting started.
だから考えすぎずに、深く考えずにどんどんやるという筋肉を鍛えることは、コンテンツクリエイターとしての本当の強みになります、特に始めたばかりの頃は。
