You’ve Started Making Videos, But Nobody Supports You? Here’s Why You Should Keep Going!

Starting something new, like creating organic videos for your business without paid advertising, can feel lonely at first. You might think, "Why isn’t anyone cheering for me? Where’s the support I expected?" But here’s the truth: this feeling is more common than you realize, and it’s not a reason to give up.

Everyone Starts Alone

When you first put yourself out there—whether it’s with videos, blogs, or even a new business—people might not jump on board right away. Friends and family might not understand what you’re doing, and the likes and shares won’t be pouring in. That’s okay. The beginning of any journey is often a solo mission.

Even successful entrepreneurs, didn’t start with a crowd cheering them on. They pushed through moments of doubt and uncertainty because they knew what they were building was worth it. And the same goes for you. Consistency and patience are your best friends at this stage.

Build Value, Build Trust

Help people solve a problem, entertain them, or teach them something new. This way, people will start to see the value in what you’re offering, and support will come naturally.

When building your personal brand, remember it’s all about being authentic. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. Your personality is what makes you unique, and people will connect with that. Let your audience see who you are and what you stand for. Trust is built through authenticity.

Join Communities & Grow Your Network

If you’re feeling unsupported, maybe it’s time to find new circles. Social media is a powerful tool for connecting with like-minded people. Get involved in groups, follow other creators, and join conversations in your industry. By networking with others, you’ll grow your visibility and find people who appreciate your work.

Collaborating with others can also help you reach new audiences. Whether it’s a partnership or a guest appearance in someone else’s content, working with others can boost your credibility and get your name out there.

Consistency Beats Everything

Creating content and not getting immediate feedback can be frustrating, but don’t stop. The more you show up, the more people will notice. Every video, post, or piece of content you create brings you one step closer to being recognized. And once people start seeing the real value you bring, the support will follow.

Success takes time, and building a personal brand is no different. Keep at it, stay consistent, and let your passion shine through. Eventually, your hard work will pay off.

Your Personal Brand Is Your Power

At the end of the day, your personal brand is what sets you apart. It’s the story you’re telling the world about who you are and what you stand for. Take control of that story, and don’t wait for others to define it for you. You have the power to shape how people see you—so why not make it something great?

Your journey might feel lonely right now, but every successful person has been in your shoes at some point. Keep creating, keep showing up, and keep building your brand. In time, the support you’re looking for will come, but more importantly, you’ll have built something strong, something that’s yours.
