How do you deal with showing up when nothing is visibly working yet?

Not burnout. Not algorithm frustration. Just that specific feeling where you're posting consistently, the numbers are small, and you genuinely don't know if anything is landing.

I'm a month in. 18 subscribers. 7 videos. No signs of it taking off. But I keep showing up anyway and I'm trying to figure out if that's discipline or just stubbornness.

Curious how others have handled that middle period before anything clicks but after you've already committed to it.

Help me with feedback for my Youtube Channel

Channel: No Guidebook

Niche: Cinematic essays on life, fatherhood, and becoming

Video: why i keep showing up even when nothing is working

Link: https://youtu.be/OLLzsM2iKjE?si=szEQR0EjdwR4u1rw

Context: 18 subscribers, 7 videos, about a month in. Shot on iPhone, edited minimal by design no heavy music, no aggressive cuts.

Specific things I want feedback on:

- Does the hook pull you in or do you drop off early?

- Does the pacing hold or does it drag?

- Does it feel authentic or performed?

- Would you watch the next one?

Not looking for "great job" genuinely want to know what isn't working. Happy to return feedback on anyone else's video in this thread too.

Style: investigative / narrative video essay
Format: voiceover-ready, structured with clear sections, pacing, and flow

What you get:
– Complete long-form script (35–40 mins)
– Clean storytelling structure (hook → buildup → analysis → conclusion)
– Production-ready (easy to convert into video)

I write across:
– Current affairs
– Business & economic topics
– Long-form YouTube storytelling

If you’re building a channel or need consistent documentary-style scripts, I can handle long-form content.

Hey, I've written a short film script and looking for a director who wants to shoot it.

It's a 5 to 6 minute emotional short. One actor, one room, one night. A guy processing a breakup alone. Very filmable, no big production needed.

The script is free. I just want Written by Likhith Kunder in the credits. Your name stays on it as director, full credit yours.

Part 1 is done and the rest is ready too. If this sounds like something you'd want to shoot, DM me and I'll send it over.
