    The fact you hit post on the video shows that you haven’t failed, the growth of the channel is not something you can control directly, try and get back to the roots of why you started the channel and most importantly have fun doing it, as far as the parenting side of your struggles, it’s tough for a bloke when they’re so little, but as they get older and you can do more with them it gets easier, you’ll still have the “bad” days but over all it’s better, hope your mindset is doing better a week on

    Hey Todd! I know what you are going through. I have two little sons alswell and the second one changed everything. It's been really hard for my girlfriend, my older son and for me with this little baby joining our family. We all had to stop doing the things we loved to do. It's been exhausting for all of us. No offroading, no DIY carwork, no vacation.. But I can tell you one thing from my point of view when our second son is getting older now: There will be better times to come. And you will enjoin doing your stoff with both of them on your side. It will bee different but it will be better! Please give all your love to your family. I'm sure you will get all your love back from your sons! Sorry for my bad english. I love your 120 Prado videos. I watched them as tutorials for me and my 120 Prado which I bought when our first son came to life!

    Sucks mate, and here's my opinion. In your all time most popular videos, from the 50 or so most viewed videos virtually all of them are about the 120 series, and the few popular ones not about the 120 are things like "My 200 series caught fire" and "five thing i hate about my 200". And that sums me up also, you seem like a great bloke but when you changed the channel name and ditched the 120 for a 200 you went from being a big fish in a small pond to being a small fish in a huge pond. You were carving out a great niche what that 120, i really wish you kept it and done cool things with it that would stamp your place on the map.

I’m here to tell you Todd, life does get better. Support each other and look after each other first and your kids will reap the benefits.

I highly commend you for sticking it through with your kids, especially with the knowledge and realisation of the length of your path. Massive kudos to you and your partner. I'm enjoying seeing others (as well as yourself) tell me that they enjoy seeing me be genuine and honest on my channel. As a creator its easy to fall into the belief that I need to become like others to be worth watching, at the cost of my own character. I'm glad I can feel better moving forward being my own goofy, ecstatic and flawed self without my subscribers making for the door haha. Cheers mate, hope to see you out there some day!

    G'day Todd, a great video raising many relevant points of running a business whilst juggling the demands of a young family. Firstly, don't sweat the UA-cam side of things. If it makes you happy, then keep doing it, but maybe find some other people eg. university/TAFE media students to do the stuff (like editing) you'd rather not do. Putting it aside for a while is also a good option to free up time to spend on yourself and your family. Importantly, the 'struggling father' discussion is one that many men should have, but don't. Best way to get through those tough times is with friends and family. As a father of three (all now adults in their own right), I speak from similar experience, and especially with the colicky child. Looking forward, I think the family-oriented series of Offroad Crusader is a natural progression (I watched the Leyland Brothers show on television when I was a kid) worth considering. Until the next video, look after yourself and take care.

    • @offroadcrusader
      @offroadcrusader 20 днів тому

    Hey Todd, first vid of yours to land in my feed. Youtubing can be a lonely game at times and yes the reward vs effort isn't there for some time for most of us. Generally, it's a time based thing as well for most of us, unless as you mentioned we happen to hit a particular niche that resonates with a demographic that spends a lot of time online. Glad you're keeping at it, measure your success against yourself, not others. If you're growing and getting views, keep doing it and look for the 1%. LIke you I've managed to connect with other youtubers, some of which have been extremely helpful in providing suggestions and feedback. Finally sounds like you've had a tough year mate and in some ways I can relate. Hats off to you and others who have the courage to make these kinds of videos. I agree there's a benefit for everyone knowing they're not alone. take care mate.

Now that 2nd daughter is 18, and there's 5 of us. One never fails, their just little life hiccups. As a father and a husband, your family unit is everything. We've had mates choose to bang out, what's left behind is devastating. Best thing is to chat, and that's an awesome place to do it with that view, and a brew.

    Hey Todd, I didn’t even need to watch the full video to know you’re not a failure. Sounds like you’ve had a real dud time recently. Take some pressure off yourself if you can, gather thoughts, and look forward to when the motivation will inevitably return! It takes people literally years to grow their channel to a point where it provides meaningful passive income. I watched a video just the other day about MrBeast explaining that your first 100 videos will be shit, but it’s important that you learn one thing with every video, constantly improve and be persistent. I know of other big 4WD channels who didn’t become big for 3-5 years. Look through the video history of some of the big channels we know, their earliest posts are from between 5-7 years ago! I know you’ve been posting for roughly a similar amount of time, but don’t think I’m wrong to say you may not have been as structured/focused on growing the channel until recently? I think you’re doing a great job. I went away for Christmas and wasn’t on UA-cam much for the first 4 months of the year. I looked up your channel out of interest, as I’ve been enjoying watching it grow, and saw that you’d gone from something like 2k subs near the end of last year, to 8.Xk now. So good! That’s a 120% increase. I noticed your video quality and posting frequency had gone up, and you had a couple new popular videos. Including that Hilux review that could be a niche worth exploring. Aim for 10k subs, it’s a great milestone and one I know you can hit soon. Good luck and I wish you strength.

    Appreciate your honesty mate. I have two young boys as well and completely understand where your at. It is absolutely not easy and your definitely not alone with your struggles. So from one Aussie battler to another, I wish you and your family all the best with where ever you go to from here.

    You’re bogged mate, life has slowed you down, there’s no rush you’ll slowly get traction and pull yourself out if someone doesn’t snatch you first.. You have succeeded in UA-cam don’t even question that, Very hard vid to share, hats off to you

    Great video, mate. Everything will be ok. This will pass, and lifes goodies will come in time. I've been through absolute hell in my life. My son died at 21 this time last year. Don't stress about the kids, it gets better. You'll always have challenges but once they hit primary school and more independence it helps a lot. You're a good bloke Todd. Just stay present and let go of the past. It doesn't exist anymore. Only today does. You'll be ok 👍

      Mate it sounds like you've had a really hard time with the loss of your Son. I can't even comprehend the pain you must be still going through. My hat off to you mate for lifting me up in my own hardships, really shows your strength of character. Cheers mate, first drink is on me!

      Thanks for that mate, glad you enjoyed the Hilux review! I'm not going to stop doing what I love, will just be taking a bit of a step back for a bit to reassess things in my personal life. Cheers!

    Hey mate, just think it's less than 1% of people and channels become successful to the point where they earn a decent income from UA-cam. So don't get down on ya self for not making it as such. Just keep doing what you enjoy doing and make videos when you want to make a video. The first baby just makes you think a second baby will fine 😂 nope it's a trap.

    • @offroadcrusader

      Haha! We heard that advice regarding the second child too! "No way the second will be as hard as the first.." To his credit though my second Son is much crusier than Koda, but the combination of raising them both at the same time is a lot! Thanks for your comment mate, really appreciate it!

    Hey mate, as a youngish father of 5 kids, my advice would be that it's all perspective. When you're down in the trenches it's hard to see the forest for the trees. There will be times in the future when the kids relationship with their dad will evolve dramatically. Enjoy it while they are young because you will miss it I guarantee. On the UA-cam front, showing your fallible, honest self "warts and all" makes me want to watch more of your content. I don't really enjoy the "successful" 4x4 channels anymore. They are clickbaity, predictable, disappointing to watch and full of ads. Many lack integrity. Keep making content because tomorrow will be a new day and the sun will rise again. At worst, your failed UA-cam career will be an amazing catalogue for your kids to enjoy in the future.😅

      Thank you so much for your comment Nathan! Worst case scenario my kids will have a plethora of videos to watch as their old man figured out 4WDS and getting out bush. Good point! It is hard to see the silver lining from down in the trenches sometimes, but the reception from this video has really opened my eyes to it all. Thanks for sticking along for the journey for so long mate, I'm lucky to have a subscriber such as yourself!
