Sure, because everyone is born with experience on IM. it doesnt require hard work to master something.
Being lazy guarantee nothing
You can have a good idea or be smart, but if you don't know how to do stuff it doesnt mean anything
Take this from a chess player with 1900-2000 ELO.
It's not about being born with IM experience. It's not even about being smart. It's about what you're focused on.
I like chess don't get me wrong. And I can play fairly well (thanks to prison). But what does chess have to do with making money?
It's a great game sure. A symbol of war. But it's still JUST A GAME. It would be like if your life dream was to be a professional NFL player but you wasted all this time trying to better your golf score.
If your life dream is to make a lot of money, and you're focused on a stupid Elo score, you're clearly playing the wrong game. There is no single ultimate sport or game as competitive as business. No other game where you can compete in an arena against millions of people you will never even see.
Either way, you talked about FL Studio and taking 2 hours to make a 1 hour megamix. I know FL Studio inside and out. Bought it when version 3 came out. Have memorized most of The FL Studio Bible by now. I've been producing music for over a decade. I make money in a music subniche. You talk about taking 2 hours to max a mix? Some of the mixes I put together took me like 3 weeks just to do. And I didn't upload them for money at the time I just did it cause I love music. Some of those videos are like 6 years old now and I think just 1 has a couple hundred thousand views. Most of the others barely have any.
My point is, what you did was useless if all you did was put a mix together and upload it to YT. Back in the day you could blast a video with 1 million views (which I never did to mix videos cause I found a better way to monetize music). But the point is you gotta promote the video. And only promote it IF you know damn well for certain without a shadow of a doubt it's a solid mix and people are gonna like it.
If you just grabbed a bunch of your own favorite songs, without really doing any homework, then that video will probably just sit there not doing much of anything. I'd forget about it if I was you. Come back to it a few months from now and check how many dislikes it has. If it has a lot leave it be. If it gets any attention, consider promoting it.
All in all that was a really random idea. Knowing what I know now about both music and marketing now, I wouldn't waste another minute making mix videos unless you're gonna take the channel seriously, create awesome mixes on a regular basis, promote your channel, and establish a reputation. And even doing all that I still wouldn't do it cause there's nothing remotely creative or original about the idea.
TLDR - Start writing down business ideas on paper. Research innovative & successful new businesses. Find all the best ideas you can and start filling up scrap paper with these ideas (not just vague ideas but write out specific models). This is how you "stack ammo". I've wrote about this before drawing comparisons to how Eminem writes his lyrics. How I have a shoe box full of scribblings and random money making ideas. 90% of the ideas are utter garbage. But there are hundreds of good ideas and dozens of great ideas I know can easily make money. Some I've already put into action. Others I'll put into action in the future. One last thing. Don't type this on the pc. Write them all down with a pen. Store the box under your bed. It will be more intimate that way. Every night I go to bed I see that shoebox and fall asleep thinking of all these great ideas (in the moment). Every now and then I gotta turn the light back on just to write down something before I fall asleep. It's an awesome way to stay motivated.
, i even tried one yesterday and it took me about 2 hours to make a 1h of 'megamix' with a good looking girl picture in the back (it was my first experience with FLS).
