I feel like the more content you do, the easier it gets, since i've been going daily it's been getting easier !
Totally agree
I agree 💯 that's where my focus is right now.
Great video as always with great information to follow 👍 This is going back to school learning something exciting to do something exciting makes me excited.
I've been doing daily even if it is not great just to get the practice and to set the habit of daily vids
It does help to do that on so many different ways, get you better and better as well as a nice habit to have !@@justbikesnstuff
I struggle with procrastination, I'll think up my idea over many days- sometimes weeks and try to figure it all out and it never comes out as good as I expected it to be, I have to start working on projects immediately when I get the idea. Thanks as always for the video, Roberto!
When it comes to noise of people you live with, talk to them! I give my husband a heads up prior to batch recording and he knows that means "quiet time". Explain to the people you live with why this is important to you and how grateful youd be for their help in being quiet once or twice a week.
Yes I have 4 kids. 10, 2, 1 and 6wks its always constant chaos in the house. I tell everybody stay away from my door. I usually put the babies in their high chair with food and rock the new baby to sleep. Give my 10 yr old an electronic and all that buys me 15mins of quiet time before everybody is yelling mama and the baby poops. And fiance is getting in from work reading to talk. Lol. After that ik know later when everyone is in bed I can edit or while dinner is cooking. Whew I'm exhausted from reading this lol
You are one of the most no-nonsense RUclipsrs. Pure information, I learn a lot from you to improve my channel. Great videos
So happy I found you, Roberto! My struggle is fitting in my filming with my 3-year-old in tow at public locations every weekend - after working my full time job all week - and I’m feeling so much better about just being happy where I am and working with what I have now. Big thank you and appreciation!!
Ive been struggling with the idea of being on camera, and the perfectionist thing. The idea of writing the script, practicing talking points and not putting it out is great advice. Also respecting the process, starting off with simple weekly content. Great advice. Always great real down to earth advice on your channel. Thank you Roberto!
"Work with what you got, work your way up" thanks for always spitting gems
No one says you have to be perfect. It is ok, not be perfect starting out.
As a new youtuber, I’ll be binge-ing on your content. Thank you so much!!!
Giving Mama here to support you. You can do it!!!
Giving Mama subbed done!
Yes!! Done!
Giving Mama me too!
Giving Mama just keep going and creating.
Great video. I suffer from extreme anxiety issues so that stopped me from starting videos for a couple of years. Eventually, because of videos like yours, I was able to get out of my comfort zone. It is not easy. Far from it actually. However, my opinion is if we are not out of our comfort zone, we can not grow. I still suffer from this but it does get a bit easier everytime I hit record. I am just one away from my 100th video. So a big thank you to you, Roberto, and others I have watched, that helped encourage me to keep on going. I know it is not a very dramatic story but it is my story. 🙂
My struggle isn’t content, it’s getting the subscribers and more views. I’m a new RUclipsr and do try to get content out at least every other day, if not twice a week.
Thanks Roberto for giving amazing tips.
Simple Nail Designs Wow I love your nails designs, you definitely deserve more views! Are you utilizing keywords/tags? I struggle with getting views as well.
Trish Marie thank you so much Trish - so sweet! Yes, I’m using the tags under the description box when I’m uploading a new video on RUclips. I try to put as many as I can, up until it tells me there’s too many! 😏 Is there any other way?
Thanks! And by the way, you’re doing great with the number of subscribers, good for you!
I live with a Chronic Illness and I decided to do YT videos to document my journey and bring awarness. I don't put any pressure on myself, I do the best I can. I decided to have fun creating and since my world turned upside down with this illness, this YT journey gave me a new purpose.
I am a video editor, I stuggle the most with just finding content that I can actually edit and put on my portfolio. I'm not too interested in become a RUclips personality myself, but finding those who need their things edited and building up my portfolio is what I struggle with the most.
I absolutely love the actionable advice you gave about taking a friend while you attempt to vlog in public. That is so real and so straightforward.
A suggestion I have if your struggling with uploads because of slow internet is to try and upload at night when you aren’t using the internet on any other devices. According to my husband my uploads “break the internet”. It’ll take several hours to upload, but doing it at night when we aren’t doing anything else on the internet works.
Definitely encouraging... I'm new to all this RUclips. I've a lot of ideas but it's just facing the fear and going for it is my problem
Everyone has struggles. Conversations like this are helpful to everyone.
When you have a fear... Charge at it! (Do it... The more you do it and practice the better you get)
Good message man.
Perfectionism...that's really it...you hit the nail on the head! Thanks Roberto for this video and for answering our questions and for encouraging us (and me specifically a fellow introvert). Needed to hear this!
My biggest struggle is my perfectionism and ideas for content. You gave me some advice after working with you about a year ago to stick to evergreen content, and to be kind to myself about how often I can realistically upload due to my mental health struggles. That helped so much to remove some of the pressures I was putting on myself. Now that I'm more focused on what type of content I want to make, I may not upload as much, but my videos are more focused. I believe I'm making more helpful content than I was before. Before I was throwing spaghetti at the wall "here's my husband and I out on a date," and "here's me hanging out with my sister at Meow Wolf," and "This is what my closet looks like," no wonder those videos don't do well. Now it's tips on this and that, which are doing WAY way better. Thank you so much!
Heard! I've struggled with a few things you touched on in that video. I'm working hard to stay focused and not get distracted by comparison. That is such a challenge as I navigate social media in an effort to learn, grow, participate and expose myself to different resources. Your content is truly supportive, REAL, and inspiring.
Hi @Robertoblake thank you for your how to video about RUclips. I love RUclips because it a platform for anybody. If your a designer, artist or and entrepreneur. When I was in school 20 years ago there was no platform for beginners artist. You had to hustle hard to have other artist to come to the exhibit. Today it’s so much easier now. I love doing arts and crafts. I love sharing new ideas with RUclips community. I always wanted to be a art teacher. This is my opportunity to show the world that gift I have.🤗
Thanks bud, just what I needed to hear. There is a gap between where I want my personal business to be and where I am professionally. We lose track of the resources available when we're working within an organization. We take it all for granted. But building something on your own, from scratch, is a completely different animal. Never be content but afford yourself room for growth. I know that sounds canned, but it's what I'm going through right now! I can't work at the level I work at now on my own. I need to accept that. Thank You!
I feel the same, getting all those ducks in a row is a big deal
Your advice has helped me out. I am almost at 1k subscribers. ♡
Congrats!
the struggle is real, but what counts is how you overcome it !
Yup
Great tips as always. So many great nuggets for a mindset to eliminate excuses and to work with what we've got. Thanks man!!!
Going daily has changed the game for me! I started with Vlogmas and have not missed a day since! Its NOT easy BUT doing daily vids helps me to get out of my own way and now I’m almost at 1K!!!!!
I just got my first microphone today. And i tried listening my voice. It was so horrible.. i almost gave up on this youtube dream. Then I thought about gary vee's voice. And how squeeky it is. So i guess ill do just fine. 🤣🤣
There's some videos about improving how you sound here on RUclips. Speak from diaphragm. How to edit the audio.
@@MuttFitness woww.. really..? I dint know that.. thanks a lot..Ill definitely watch these videos.
Dont worry about your voice or how you look etc... Just be you, over time you will get more comfortable with it
@@3DThaRapstar you're absolutely right. Thanks .
I'm still in my first month. I've made the commitment to do daily videos. I can definitely see why Roberto does not recommend daily, but I'm going to keep my head up and keep pushing. I hope the best for you all as well!
I'm not struggling to make content, I'm just struggling to get my content more exposure
I'm the same, I create daily content on @GratitudeBridge and it never goes in front of people
@@gratitudebridge is it a time thing you reckon
Same. One of my issues is that there are so many creators in my niche so it’s hard to get noticed.
@@verinectgaming28 I've been finding others in my niche or around my general niche and talking to them, that's the way I've been growing lately
@@GarrettMusic1 that is cool, need to do more of that
Great advice, perfection is poison but consistency is cleansing. 👍
Money Farm Tech done is better than perfect. Can’t help people with no content.
I really need to follow this advice
Great Advice! We worked on the plan more yesterday. Because we live in different cities., we decided that I am going to do a set of videos here and she is going to do a set there and when she can come in to town in April we will films 4 of the mental professional interviews and four of the self care videos. Then I edit and start releasing. We should be three months ahead. We repeat this pattern so that she isn't coming into Atlanta every month. Thanks for encouraging us to give ourselves permission to slow all of this down. Big Hug for you.
For shooting videos in public- try doing FaceTime with a friend in public till you feel comfortable talking through your content and then transition to filming.
My disability is very disabling. Processing information is the hardest. However I feel like I don’t have the energy to do things. When I try things get loud in my mind. So that steers me away. Other than that, I work hard. I struggle because of my disability and perfection complex. Your tips are very helpful. I will do them and create even more awesome content! Thanks Roberto!
Thanks for the encouragement. 😊 It's really helpful to have someone with similar goals and aspirations as myself bring these struggles into the light so that we can all support one another in whatever capacity that might be in.
My struggle is being clear on how to improve. It's really tough to get actual constructive criticism. Family and friends mean well, but they don't always give their fully honest opinion. That, plus the excuses in my head prevent me from making everyday. I need to just jump into it, even for a week, to speed up the learning curve.
My biggest problem is being shy. I am shy vlogging in front of friends and family more than strangers. Anyone experience this? I need to overcome it. Thanks for your help, Roberto and friends. I am a big fan.
Thanks for the encouragement Roberto! Always on point! Appreciate you! Lets get it! 💕🙌🏽💯
Great video!
Some ideas for future videos:
How to ensure that your on camera performance is improving
How to create videos without cutting. Continous talking, avoiding mistakes, avoiding silence etc.
How to guide your performance towards entertainment. How to become more entertaining on camera.
Bruh Thank you for all the motivation you give out. It's been helping me through my fear and depression.
I have a beauty channel I struggle with.. I’ve had it for 5 years with 17k subs but I don’t have a passion for beauty like I did. Also the channel has a lot of variety which I feel like is why it struggles. I’ve grown a lot as a person and ready to move on..
I’ve recently started a new channel. VERY niche, and wow! In 5 months it already has 1300 subs. I can apply all the advice I have found through RUclips and podcasts on this new channel.
I don’t want to let my main channel go, I really want to find a way to rebrand it but I feel like another lost youtuber right now.
Cheers Roberto! My channel has grown extremely quick with your tips and advice. You've been extremely helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for this, Roberto. I've taken a quick break from RUclips and it's been hard jumping back in. I have to realize that it's okay to start off rocky again and that every execution is a win, no matter what it looks like.
My biggest struggle as a creative right now is Impostor Syndrome and high expectations. I'm currently crowdfunding for an art book where I talk about all of my creative struggles and how I'm overcoming them, but Impostor Syndrome has always been the biggest kick in my morale and productivity. I try to surround myself with people that snap me out of the"people won't pay for this" "people won't benefit from this" mentality, but sometimes these feelings get too strong to handle. Comes with creative territory, I suppose.
With my art book in particular, I see so much support and hype from my community, that I'm feeling daunted from actually delivering. This is my first project of this type and scale. I want this to be worth 1,000x more than what my backers are investing in me to succeed. That's the struggle that I am currently going through.
Got the being comfortable on camera part down. Got the quality down. I just stuggle too much with putting out what I feel is enough content. I usually do two videos a week but feel like I need to put out like 4 videos. However between writing the script, shooting B-Roll, editing and all the stuff in between I just find myself getting stressed all the time. Thanks for the videos tho, you've done so much for the RUclips community 🙏
This most definitely motivates me. I have videos already ready to go, I just feel like it’s not good enough. I need to stop being so critical just post it and grow!! Thanks for the motivation!! SPOT ON!! Wow 😮
For anyone struggling with the idea of filmiing in public, I was anxious when I decided to try filming on the train going to NYC for some b-roll and I overheard these kids (I also felt them staring at me while I set up my camera) say "oh she must be a youtuber" and then they went back to the conversation they were having before. Basically what I'm saying is, people are now so used to vloggers and such that they just shrug it off so there really isn't anything to worry about because it's now become the norm to see people just recording themselves on camera. With the same idea when you start youtube "nobody knows who you are, nobody cares who you are," same goes for when you are filming out in public. Use it also as a way to gain a following too because some people will ask for your channel so they can subscribe! :D
Hey dude thank you, you're the 1st person who's actually made me take action. Now I've started to monetise my Minecraft server and I've been focusing on groth and we've went from 500 to 800 members. Thank you so much
Great video, Roberto. I find the more that I create the easier it gets. Also, I try to stay away from perfection and leave some of the mess ups in the video, I think it helps show that we’re human and our audience seems to like it. The one area I do struggle with is getting more engaged with the Tech Tubers. Despite providing feedback and really supporting and enjoying their content, providing feedback, it seems some aren’t very accepting to a newer creator in the industry. It’s a bit discouraging, but, I refuse to quit and just keep hammering out content and learning more. Irregardless how big or small I ever am, I’ll always provide feedback, share tips to help others UNLESS it’s sub 4 sub garbage. Curious on any thoughts you may have on this topic...
Been watching your videos for about 2 years now and you and a few other have the best information to grow on RUclips. Good stuff Man. You’ve helped me a lot.
I’m extremely fresh to RUclips, and right now I’m just working on being in front of a camera and explaining what I’m talking about better in my videos. Trying to make it comical with my personality but also keeping it serious.
This is great advice. I can’t count the number of times where I almost didn’t post a video cause I didn’t know what to say. I had the topic, but I always overthink everything I want to say and have anxiety. Now I know.... just talk. Talk and just trust yourself. As long as you’re honest with what you’re saying and believe in it, you’ll love what you have created.
creating video's that people' other people want to see. I've struggeling with that for a while now, its finding the balance between finding what you like and finding what other people like. And creating constistent content with that
I've been at it for the better part of a year and i could see a big difference in my videos. Mostly with me, way more comfortable and way more charismatic. It took practice but i'm proud of myself and it make me happy to know that i'm only getting better! keep killing it Roberto
As a New RUclipsr, I appreciate all you do Roberto!
Getting my content out there to the right audience is a huge problem for me Roberto!Thanks!
The thing I been struggling for a while is being afraid of improving myself or having the confidence that I can do something great. Yes it sound silly but after 2008 I been in a down hill that I’m slowly turning around. I use to make up excuses like “don’t have the time”or “ my family never gives me space” and the list goes on. But I was able to learn how to read in college and was working nonstop since I was 11 selling candy so my parents don’t have to worries. I just don’t know why I became this scared person.
It’s amazing how solid your advice is, you sound super down to earth and that’s not very common around this community. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I think you offered extremely valuable advice. I’ve struggled with several of the topics that you mentioned. Currently I’m currently struggling the most with my computer, it’s dated (about to crash any day now lol) and I don’t have the funds to purchase a $1,000+ computer. It’s so easy to get caught up and compare yourself to other content creators. I know it’s better for me to purchase a more affordable computer for the time being, and then work up to my goal. I also struggle with filming content since I’m a single mom to my 5 year old, and often times it takes hours to film certain content. Anyone else relate?
I've been doing everything on my cheap phone with apps.
I am quite comfortable on camera however I keep raising my standard with each video.. Editing out as much fluff as possible, using new features I discover in my editing software etc... It takes me forever to edit the content I upload.. especially my last few. I'm under the impression though a video a week is enough.. I would prefer quality over quantity👍 Thanks man, very motivational & straight forward!!
Right on! I think that as well.😊🍷
I think it has to be a balance between quality and quantity. I have learnt to set a deadline and then do your best in that time frame!
@RiverLeadGuitar Music Thanks!!
@RiverLeadGuitar Music I really appreciate that!!
@@RebrandEverything That's why I was planning on doing a three themed video a week roll-out schedule I just want to be sure I can stick to it before I roll it out..
Each time I watch your videos I grasp something worthwhile. Thanks Roberto 🙏
Needed to hear this! I started my channel end of June and I’m trying to put out two videos a week but I’m finding it takes me so long to create the content !! 😩 The filming and editing etc is pretty quick. It’s all the research that takes time! Think I’m pushing myself too hard... perfectionism can be an enemy at times.
Thanks so much Roberto! I found this so useful! I will definitely use these tips! I found this very valuable ❤
One of the things you've said before that has really stuck with me, is focusing on quantity, which is counter-intuitive and goes against what a lot of people recommend. Like you've said, so long as the content doesn't originally suck, it's better to make a nice amount of solid videos, than struggling for perfection in a single video. Even if you make one amazing video, there is a chance your audience won't like it / it doesn't garner hundreds of thousands of views, and that can lead to getting discouraged, etc.
Thank you for being a huge inspiration Roberto! I have gained nearly 30 subs since I started watching you! I'm closing in on 200 subs too! Much love bro 💙
I created a video, from pressing record to finished product yesterday, while another video was uploading. It takes all day for me to upload a video. Proud of myself for that!
But most of my videos can't be created in one day.
For being comfortable on camera, I've started thinking of the camera as someone who really want's to hear/see what I have to offer. Essentially, the camera is my imaginary friend!
When I need really fast Internet access, I will drive to a pretty upscale neighborhood, park somewhere, and piggyback on a resident's WiFi. There are tutorials that teach you how to do this with free tools. The only prerequisite is you must not be Linux-averse, because all the tutorials use Linux.
Thank you Roberto, for talking to us and being open about this. Also, thanks to all people that have the courage to share their insecurities. I really appreciate it!
Your channel seems interesting :)
@@AClutterFreeLife Thank you! :)
Improve 1% each time and see where you are in a year. That is my goal.
The biggest problem I've always had is getting access to tech early enough to even be a little bit competitive. Also access to early Intel that a lot of tech bigger tech RUclipsrs seem to have.
Roberto, great content, I like the way you come across in your videos, as really accessible and honest and I think this is your strength on this channel. You are the type of guy I would see myself being friend with and because you are genuine I want to listen to what you have to say. Keep on motivating and educating us, dont pay too much attention to haters, they are just frustrated human beings... Keep the good job!
Awesome value man! Just taking action is all we need to do
I could write a blog about my struggles. Inconsistent content, scheduling, bad thumbnails, on and on. I watch lots of videos like this and I know how to do better, I just haven't. Most stressful time in life right now (senior year of high school) and just trying to do my dream of youtube. I believe I can make it on youtube, I JUST GOTTA DO IT!
Hi Roberto! I just wanted to thank you for addressing the issue regarding "cinematic" videos. That was my struggle!!! Not being able to put out as much content as GaryVee or being that "artistic" as Peter McKinnon. Now I've come to realize that there are different approaches and that I'm on the right track and I need to focus on putting good quality content on a constant base. Thanks again! XOXO, Iva
Everything you've said is spot on Roberto. My problem is getting into the algorithm as there is hundreds of other Sims creators. I make sure my VID IQ scores are all good before I publish my videos. It's also so hard to produce this type of content, especially suffering from a disability and severe depression/anxiety. I lack motivation and drive I find it so hard to be like some of these other Sim creators. Everyone loves their stuff and they post regularly. I do live stream, however I burnt myself out last year trying to reach the new partner program requirements. I'm lucky if I stream 1-2x a week now on RUclips. I love The Sims, I enjoy expressing my emotions through the stories/characters/animations I create. I really dislike how hard I am on myself, everday I wake up, I'm flooding my head with negative words/thoughts to the point I just want to delete my channel altogether. I know this is a very long rant but I just wanted to explain my situation. On a positive note, there has been alot of great things here on RUclips. I have met some amazing people, whom I call friends.
Thanks so much for all of your tips! I have already seen a difference since I’ve been putting out 3 vids a week 🤩🤩
Following your videos, Roberto, is what keeps me going in this business. My biggest struggle is my ambitions exceeding my channel. Although I edit my videos with precision and care (being a film major and all), I always must remind myself that this commentary video I’m doing, or video essay may only net 50 views in a month when it’s all said and done if I’m lucky, though ironically some of my most popular content are short 30 sec joke vids (gaining views in the 100s) that require little to no effort at all. Also, I know I need to scale down what my channel is about since I do both gaming and commentary vids. The entertainment biz is a funny world…
Hey Roberto, thank you so much for the bits of advice. They're always practical and presented with brutal honesty. Keep it up brother
I think if people understood how rewarding it can be when you start getting attention, they'd get over their fears immediately. I struggled but then started (later than I'd like) but I wish I did earlier. Don't have the same regrets I have. Go crush it online with video content. Step up and lead.
Low expectations is my favorite! The only a high bar creates is stress!!! Thanks Roberto
You're telling things we already know deep inside.... But we need to hear this. I need to hear this. Procrastination kills the creativity, but we keep coming back trying...
Just what I needed, I haven't uploaded in a month due to burnout... Thanks again for the advice Roberto!!!
Wow. After 3 months of looking and searching, I finally found a video that answers the questions I have. It really made me realize that videos do not have to be big or extravagant. I uploaded a video like a year ago, but I lost inspiration on new topics. I now am just in lack of time only being in 8th grade. thanks!
Love it!
I have a tip that has helped save time allot. I started a Gaming channel. I found that if you upload a 1 hour video it takes 2-4 hours to upload and process. But if i go live there is no upload time just processing. It can take a long time too. But if im uploading via a recording. Ive found I cant start a new recording while uploading. Going live is a good way to pump out back to back content. While one is uploading your alredy working on the next.
No nonsense Roberto as usual. Solid. 👌
Like a lot of others my main inhibitor is the day job. I've started making a concerted effort to reduce the amount of little bit of extra time that things tend to take up. Time is the most precious resource we have and if we let it slip by .. it's gone. you can't save it up, you can't get more, you can only take control of how much is allocated to what. So I've given myself the insane stretch goal of making 1000 videos this year. I'll fail but that never stopped me trying. I'm working out how to optimise workflow, create templates, set up spaces that encourage me psychologically, and eating better!
I know most people are saying "don't go for quantity at the cost of quality content" and I agree totally - but I'm an avid believer in constant pushing every limit I can because the more you, do the more you experience, the more opportunities you have to rush into failure and learn from it.
And thats how we grow
Fail fast, Learn, Improve and then go and fail at the next thing! :)
All good points. We do just one video a week typically unless we're covering something specific and aside from regular content. I think some Tuber's force themselves to do them when they haven't much to say, but feel they should or fall behind. This is, I think, a mistake so relax and let a great idea flow into your head, let it percolate and then do one.
This is straight wisdom, thanks Roberto!
Yup. I am more on get something done. and the other tips, Thanks!
Spot on as always, Roberto! Thanks for the encouragement and advice.
For me, I can create, create, create... but I feel like I run out out of content/ideas after a while, so when come up with new things, I get hesitant to put things out with any frequency.
I find that the longer the pauses between shooting, the more intimidated I start to feel. By the time I get to shoot I don’t feel on my A game!
Very informative and to the point video, Roberto! What I'm struggling with most as a new content creator is knowing what to say and how to say it. When writing out my script, I tend to write too much, adding too much fluff, wanting to say almost everything that I wrote done verbatim, and no matter how much cutting of entire paragraphs I do, I'm so attached to what I want to say and how long it will make my video in the end.
Its interesting to think about. I sometimes can do daily and then sometimes slow down.
What I'm going through? I've abandoned all of my entrepreneurial aspirations and hobbies that bring me together with people to become the best damn father, husband, son, person I can be. I prioritize my family above all. That being said, I'm trying to do something that brings me joy and keeps me at the house, accessible to everyone while investing time into something that could potentially yield income. This is not a recipe for success and I can't create "business space" for a business that doesn't exist. I work full time at a lucrative position that gives my family everything they need... not well off, but well enough. I would love to take my channel to the next level but I refuse to be corny in a space filled with oddballs. Yeah, I probably have no hope in the gaming space because nothing is funny or cool about real people but damn this is why I relate to you Roberto. I appreciate REAL. I'm funny and witty as heck if you watch my vids but I'm not ready to wear a wig, makeup and call myself the clown gaming channel. What I can say is, I'm getting better with IDEAS and topics, I'm comfortable on camera, I'm tweaking videos, improving audio quality, etc. I have invested money in intro/outro, production software, lighting and other things that will make my videos more relatable/viewable. I have no issues with a grind, I've hustled my whole life so this is nothing new. I will be the drip of water that will carve a mountain and become a stream some day.....no pun intended. Thanks Roberto!
These videos are helpful. I definitely struggle with consistency.
Man, Roberto you are lighting it up bro! lol. I agree, the tendency to want to perform like Lebron when our skills, time and energy are still highschool ball level is a HUGE challenge for many including myself at times. I always try to remember that ultimately my raving fanbase will love me for the value in my videos vs the jazzy production value! Also no lie, I work full time and have a wife and 2 kids so if I was serious about RUclips I had to hire some part time help, and it has been the best investment EVER! I respect those who make it happen on their own but that wasnt the right fit for me. Thanks for the great videos bro!
Thanks again Roberto. You always give the best advice
Thanks for this, I knew most of this on some level but hearing you say it just reminds me what I need to do. Many thanks! Much appreciated!
Thank you for this video Roberto. I would love more like this.
