Today we’d like to introduce you to David Dilworth.
Hi David, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I work for the Airline industry and Covid happened and I was unsure of what would happen with my job, so I thought to myself “What am I an expert on?” and it hit me that I’ve been working out for over 15 years so I could probably could help out a lot of people. I am already a big fan of Youtube and I thought to myself “Why don’t I start posting videos on how to help people get in shape.” I realized that people were at home and can not go to the gym like me so I focused on home workouts.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Well, I started out with free editing software on my phone but I started to realize that it was limiting what I wanted to express in my videos. So I wanted to use what “the professionals use” and that is “Final Cut Pro” but it was $300 and in a time like this where I did not know what my job situation is, it was a lot of money for me but they had a 3 month free trial of the software so I said to myself, “If I get 500 subscribers by the end of the 3-month trial then I would invest in myself. Not only did I get 500 subscribers by the end of the 3 months, I got my first sponsor and they paid me $500.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I work for delta as a fight attendant currently but now that is just extra money. Youtube is paying all the bills now but I really enjoy flying. If youtube gets really big then I realized that I would have to quit because I can help people on a larger scale through YouTube and really enjoy growing a business.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
I’ve learned that I can make money and help people all on my own. I don’t have to wait for a job and can create one. It is so empowering to see people who enjoy my content and getting healthy from it.
