Youtube content creators make great content marketers
A little empathy goes a long way in YouTube content.
I have a confession to make. I once thought about dropping out of college because the YouTube content I watched during class was actually teaching me more. There were no college majors that I considered pursuing, and my indecision drove me crazy. Many nights I found myself in a deep sea of tumultuous emotions feeling confused, lonely, and fearful of who I was becoming and how my future would pan out.
I feared that I would go through with my decision to drop out of college without a real plan. The feeling of being stuck was only exacerbated when I would watch countless videos on YouTube about young 20-somethings who found tremendous wealth and success after dropping out of college.
However, each of these stories also inspired me because I saw their sense of conviction, direction, and independence. I felt that was severely lacking in my life at the time. How could I be like them?
