I've been "content-creating" on the side for years now, and one thing that has kept me sane about it is just the expectation that it won't come overnight. It takes years and a lot of content to rack up enough subscribers and followers to become "popular" — for most people, at least. And in those years, you monitor what gets views and what doesn't and adjust your content accordingly. You get better at what works, at attracting the views and subscriptions even more quickly.
So, just do your content on the side. Do it as something additional. Adjust it in the process. And don't expect to shoot up overnight, because that rarely happens. If you're cool with that reality, go ahead; if not, then you'll just be torturing and disappointing yourself.
