What can't I say "known" properly! PS the thing I came up with 18 months ago that I finally got to use, is at the end. Realised I left you guys hanging with what that might be. The very end, like literally the last few words. PS 👇🏼 LIFE UPDATE March 2023 Liv and I decided to move on in different directions. (This is why Im now on Bumble/joking about it) We never fell out, we just wanted different things with life so we just decided to move on. I still help her with her business, pester her about her landing pages and try to get her posting more videos (rich coming from me) and we stay in touch and are both very happy. (I think some of you thought we were married. We weren't.) We got each other though covid, helped each other grow our businesses and had a really fun 3 years together. Helping her grow her channel and business is the proudest achievement of my life. PS If you're looking for a man who likes growing RUclips channels, leave your applications below 😂
Haha I just came to comments to say I bet it was you riding the scooter! I just moved back to the UK from 8 years Qatar- and I think my payments on those scooters has contributed to Qatars wealth creation 💥

It's refreshing to hear someone talk about their digital nomad lifestyle and a) not try to sell it you and b) actually be successful. Your ending is insane.
Considering this took you way less time, I think its the best engaging video I've seen from your channel so far. The story, tempo, reengagement and twist at the end was brilliant.
My man, you still got it. I normally don't sit through 11 minutes of video without either leaving, fast forwarding in some way, or play in 2x speed. You managed to actually get me to sit through the whole video. :DD
Perfectionism is the culprit keeping me from finishing my script. It’s ironic that it’s stopping me from getting anything done! But I’m not quitting. Thanks for the advice. Your channel deserves more recognition-hopefully, it gets its well-deserved moment in the sun!
it's so funny, because around the time you mentioned comments people make about your editing being too fast, I was thinking it in my head. But the truth is, it's not too fast for YOU, it's too fast for ME. I'm a pretty laid-back kinda guy, so even though I tried that style it didn't feel authentic to who I am. It was my own brother who pointed it out. Since then I've stopped sitting there meticulously cutting out every natural pause in my speaking. That alone has saved me a lot of time in the editing booth. And in my case NOBODY was complaining or even mentioning anything about the way I speak in my videos- other than to tell me it's relatable and laid-back. The things we obsess over, man. I'm learning.
Man, I simply love you. I have a super small channel, no idea if it's ever gonna grow but watching you it's always so entertaining that you make me feel positive about even just trying. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for your edu-tainment videos... enter- national... whatever words comes out from educational+entertainment. Amazing job 🎉
That great! I love that I motivate you. We all have days where it feels tough, even when you've grown a channel, so Ill do my best to keep you motivated :)
@@ModernCavemanLukas Probably only cus it felt like a stark difference ☺️. I think it stuck out to me because when I used to watch his videos, there were always parts I had to pause and rewatch… because the combo of video speed, bells/whistles and his accent made it so I couldn’t understand the message. I feel like communicating is like breathing… if you breathe too fast, you’ll pass out… and if you breathe too slow, you disconnect from what’s around you. Odd analogy 🤣 but breathing between sentences is good pacing in my opinion… I am a slow living kind of gal though. I need time to digest each thought before I get the next one.
Your editing is never too fast! It's PERFECT: before and now. I love your comedy and sense of natural humor. And your tips are SO GOOD! Yes, there is prana (consciousness) in the sunlight. We all need to write in the Sun LOL. It's the way to channel our best authentic material! Love you, Ed! 😎🌞🤍
This just absolutely made my day. Ed. I want to be more like you. I love your lighting, your editing style, your timing and your humor. Trying to take inspiration from how you do what you do and using it on my channel. Also. Great tip on trying to trim down the writing so it is as potent as possible.
Honestly, I do not think you lost your touch, I actually like this one better than the previous ones. It has more personality storytelling wise I guess? When some previous ones seemed somewhat preachy. So good on you!
Thought this was going to be another generic 'contrasting colours in thumbnails for higher CTR' etc type video but I gave it a shot anyway. Holy shit man this was amazing, completely unique and helpful viewpoints with a refreshing editing and humour style. Loved it thank you.
Mans went out, got a scooter, scooted around, and even set up his camera in different places/got people to film him scooting about, and comes back and tells us that all took only ten minutes 😂 homie is SCOOTIN'
You know, I clicked on this video not because you had a good thumbnail or a title. But because I trust you as a content creator. I KNOW that you make good videos. I thought this info might be valuable to you 🤭
God, watching your content makes me feel so terrible about how bad mine is. How on Earth do you come up with those fun little storylines, the humour, and the amazing ideas?
So Impactful😭😢 I get stuck a lot with everything mentioned here. Watching over and over again-genius vid, needed this and got it in such a cool packaging-top to bottom- speechless 😂 I swear I write better than I comment
This is solid info Thanks . its just what i needed. I have been out loud telling my self the last few weeks to focus on C work, and increase production... then improve to B work with the same level of productivity.
The 80/20 rule is also known as the Pareto Principle. It's a fascinating subject when you delve into it and applies to so many unexpected things (e.g. 80% of land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population). Once understood and used properly, it can really turn around your productivity levels - not just for making RUclips videos but for life in general.
I knew it!!!!! This video was so great! Just what I needed today to let loose and remember to trust my instinct. Also a great reminder of both Parkinson’s law and the 80/20 principle. Very entertaining and I appreciate you!
I’d also like to add- I don’t normally share long format content like this- but damn this is share worthy. You can tell you hit a flow and didn’t let yourself get bogged down by critical thought. 👏🏼
Wow. This video was one of the most useful videos I have watched on RUclips content creation. I have had a very stuck day today and wrote a script I was not happy with and wasn't very productive, I had done a first take and just felt that the script sucked (I am an extremely new RUclipsr so everything I do still sucks but I am having fun learning). I watched this video, set a timer for 1 hour (to revise the script)... finished that in about 30 min. Since I still had 30 min left decided to record 2 takes with the rest of the hour + 15 additional minutes but since i did not intend to fit any takes into that time window I figured why not. Anyhow, I had tried my own way of setting time limits but none were specific enough (it was more like get another video done by tomorrow). When I tried something more specific, like get my script revised in 1 hour, it really helped! A lot! Especially when I applied the 'sense of urgency' to my script because I realized it was lacking that which made it quit boring. Anyhow, thank you so much for making this video and it really did help. I am still very much in the super early stages of RUclips, and more particularly, scripting and talking in front of a camera.
1 - set timer for work 2 - get your comfortable place for the productivity 3 - take a brack if you feel blockade in thoughts and go walk and come back and complete it 4- redraft script for - more concise , entertaining, interesting , easy to understand 5- don't judge the videos on the basis of few peoples comments , hit and try model will work well hear 6 - scripting makes videos way better 7- 20 % work produces 80 % results , get your 20 % done no friction ideas getes good videos but that ideas comes from experience
I’m dyslexic so for me is very difficult to write scripts, actually impossible. I’m an artist and just create and must of the time I don’t know what I’m doing but the result matters in the end. You’re amazing and I love ❤️ your videos 🥰
Can I like this video twice? I feel like you earned a like at least 3 times here. When you told us repeatedly to like, when your editing was just super engaging, and when you FOOLED us all by showing us this was the video in question all along? Wow. Like
Hi Ed, awesome video... Thanks for breaking these down. I'm a RUclips script writer and I've been writing mostly for documentary style videos, but I'd like to break into the "lifestyle/challenge/vlog" niche. Do you have any advice to help me transition and thrive in this niche?. Thanks for your advice.
Great video Ed. Good updates on your personal life as well….😳 I think your uploads are perfectly timed. I watch on 1.5x speed as it MAKES me concentrate on the content. Best take from this particular video IMHO? That the extra 20% isn’t worth the effort ( same as fitness-you get to an excellent high 80% level through very hard work? But putting in the same amount of work for that extra 20% isn’t justifiable …) Welcome back -
Totally a Christopher Nolan ending (which is ironic since he is best known for his writing!) is the top still spinning!!! Great job!!!!!! There are two timelines in the video. The one where you are writing, and the video you shot. So good!!!!!
I haven't even seen the video yet, and I know it's going to be great! These days, I've been wondering what's been happening with you because I haven't seen you for a while. :D Thank you for this great video!
Love the video Ed it gave me a ton of new ideas and inspiration, so thank you for this. I can see you guys are getting a ton of rain right now, so take good care of yourselves down there.
I genuinely recommend your channel to every person who’s asked me how to start a YT channel. This is one of the few channels that provide tangible pieces of advice that can help creators succeed, over the fluff and generalities many other RUclipsrs give. Excited your back Ed!
Ed, I tried the fast edit concept on a few videos and I had to slow it down in my case. People hated it but in large numbers. I had to stop scripting too because I’m just robotic when I’m reading from anything. I need just flow. This is why sometimes it takes me weeks to come up with a video. When I record I always record about 1 hour for one video. In editing I have to bring this down to around 10 minutes. Then find a cadence. Set the sound up. Fix the visuals. All so at the end I’m never happen enough and scrap the video all together. I’ll repeat this about 4 times before finally coming up with an edit of the video I think is good enough. Upload it. Slap on the custom thumbnail and title and for the next week or so just work on fine tuning and A/b testing. Nearly a month to get everything the way I believe represents the video best just to watch it struggle to around 60 views and stop. I figured it out though. My mine issue is the curse of the freaking retention percentage. For 4 years now. I’ve kept my mind completely opened to experimenting. Trying something new all the time and still do till today. I never stop. But when video after video after freaking video the retention trend won’t budge that’s when I’m either throwing my laptop out the window or taking a 3 month break. I mean there is no failure there. Nothing broken to fix. Because on every video I’m always fixing and improving things. Always trying something new. Yet I’m shaking the monitor every time I open the analytics and take a look at the retention to see the same trend again. So frustrating. To say myself from losing more hair I just accepted the trend as normal. And accepted that my videos will fail because of the low retention as normal. At least this way I can keep creating worry free. And not care one bit about the retention graph and let it sort itself out.
At least you try stuff. I tried my faster editing for 12 videos, I got no traction at all until one popped and then they all came with it. It can take a long time to get good at something, personally the script and teleprompter is key for me, I cut that part out the script and the importance of writing and sticking with it for a very long time too, maybe give it another crack
@@FilmBooth Thanks Ed! It’s not that I gave up as I’m still making videos. It’s just that I had to do something for my sanity. I was feeling like I was going insane and losing it giving everything a shot and not really seeing the retention graphs change. Now mind you i did have 2 videos that had a bit of success in my channel and together those two videos have kind of helped the channel out. But even the successful videos the retention was still low. What I mean for example is people jumping ship around the 3 minute mark in a 3 minute video. Or on the shorter videos people jumping on a minute or less out of 5 minutes. And no matter what I do I can’t change that. I can almost say either way a high level of certainty for example that if i uploaded a video right now. By the end of the day it would be the same thing as the other videos between 15 and 30% retention only. I’m going to keep trying through. Hopefully one day I can tell you about the video that changed my whole channel around! 👍

Thanks for creating the summary! Helpful!
This is your finest work yet. Really felt like you were talking directly to me, especially with the research pronunciation and the lounge shots
It makes zero sense that you do not have well over a million subs. Your videos are so well done.
intersting in it? but he is bulding a massive bunch of new good youtubers so competence will grow too:
My thoughts exactly

Same here! Even after reading the summary in the comments, I still sat and watched the full video like you! Good content.
This is brilliant Ed, love your videos and love the way you turn each topic into a question to be answered! Excellent as always!
I could feel than ending coming, yet was still mesmerized the whole time. A true video magician. Thanks, Ed!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
The scooter race is here! Another great video and I can absolutely confirm that taking a break and going outside will 10X your writing. Cheers!
Good to have you back crushin it as usual!
You've played a massive roll in me starting 2 months ago, and closing in on 10K subs!
Thank you my man.
So much editing and cuts, man really put a lot of effort in to this!😊
I so much love the closing... "🎉You just did "😂
yeah that was so good!

A bit obvious, but he landed it.
Nailed it

To everyone reading this, I wish you success in achieving your channel's goals and reaching new heights. 🌟📈🎉🚀
Even Mr. Beast goes outside when he needs inspiration. I get some of my best ideas when I’m walking my dog.
Damn - sick video. Nobody makes video like Ed! So valuable. Thanks for the help!
Wow that was fantastic! So pertinent and also fun, and I didn't see the surprise coming until less than a minute from the end ! Bravo
Honestly one of my favourite videos you have done yet. Really gonna try take some of this to heart.
It’s amazing how taking simple walks can clear the mind and open up some of the best ideas we have. ❤
The pacing was so good on this video, I enjoyed it so much. Thank you for sharing
Can you explain why the pace was good?
I just consumed without really noticing it. For you it stuck out. So you know good pacing when you see one :D
@@ModernCavemanLukas Probably only cus it felt like a stark difference ☺️.

Alright that shot where it looks like your filming the boat and then walk to the scooter is hilarious 😂
Thanks for this! Seeing your process especially how you work thru your struggles is super helpful
If you are a new RUclipsr don't give up, keep putting effort, keep pushing, you will get there

This is RUclips video creation gold right here
1 - set timer for work
2 - get your comfortable place for the productivity
3 - take a brack if you feel blockade in thoughts and go walk and come back and complete it
4- redraft script for - more concise , entertaining, interesting , easy to understand
5- don't judge the videos on the basis of few peoples comments , hit and try model will work well hear
6 - scripting makes videos way better
7- 20 % work produces 80 % results , get your 20 % done
no friction ideas getes good videos but that ideas comes from experience
There's no way you made a Goldeneye Streets 1:12 reference in this video. You are a legend
IVE NEVER SEEN A 1:13 AND I NEVER F*CKING WILL
I’m dyslexic so for me is very difficult to write scripts, actually impossible. I’m an artist and just create and must of the time I don’t know what I’m doing but the result matters in the end.
You’re amazing and I love ❤️ your videos 🥰
Im dyslexic too, my scripts are jargon to most people, but they make sense to me so I just do my best

Welcome back Ed, we missed you!
Hi Ed, awesome video... Thanks for breaking these down.
I'm a RUclips script writer and I've been writing mostly for documentary style videos, but I'd like to break into the "lifestyle/challenge/vlog" niche.
Do you have any advice to help me transition and thrive in this niche?.
Thanks for your advice.
One of the best YT channels I've watched in a long-time is back with really solid advice!
Daily dose of inspiration✅ Perfect vid👏🔥
A goldmine of information, as always! Thank you 😊
Could have put this on a community post . But you strung us out with a video. The comfort of being in the club I suppose
Great video Ed.
Good updates on your personal life as well….😳
I think your uploads are perfectly timed.
I watch on 1.5x speed as it MAKES me concentrate on the content.
Best take from this particular video IMHO?
That the extra 20% isn’t worth the effort ( same as fitness-you get to an excellent high 80% level through very hard work? But putting in the same amount of work for that extra 20% isn’t justifiable …)
Welcome back -
This guy is buffed!
look at that LID! thriving.
😂 Geez butchered me last hair cut
Thanks for this - wish I’d known this before! Love your style of engaging👏
How does this video not have more likes and views. Just a brilliant video and twist at the end. 👏🏻
Gid i love watching you ur so funny and spontaneous its nice to listen and learn from you thanks for creating these videos❤❤❤
Totally a Christopher Nolan ending (which is ironic since he is best known for his writing!) is the top still spinning!!! Great job!!!!!! There are two timelines in the video. The one where you are writing, and the video you shot. So good!!!!!

Nearly a month to get everything the way I believe represents the video best just to watch it struggle to around 60 views and stop.
I figured it out though. My mine issue is the curse of the freaking retention percentage.
For 4 years now. I’ve kept my mind completely opened to experimenting. Trying something new all the time and still do till today. I never stop.
But when video after video after freaking video the retention trend won’t budge that’s when I’m either throwing my laptop out the window or taking a 3 month break.
I mean there is no failure there. Nothing broken to fix. Because on every video I’m always fixing and improving things. Always trying something new. Yet I’m shaking the monitor every time I open the analytics and take a look at the retention to see the same trend again. So frustrating.
To say myself from losing more hair I just accepted the trend as normal. And accepted that my videos will fail because of the low retention as normal.
At least this way I can keep creating worry free. And not care one bit about the retention graph and let it sort itself out.
At least you try stuff. I tried my faster editing for 12 videos, I got no traction at all until one popped and then they all came with it.
It can take a long time to get good at something, personally the script and teleprompter is key for me, I cut that part out the script and the importance of writing and sticking with it for a very long time too, maybe give it another crack
@@FilmBooth Thanks Ed! It’s not that I gave up as I’m still making videos. It’s just that I had to do something for my sanity. I was feeling like I was going insane and losing it giving everything a shot and not really seeing the retention graphs change.
Now mind you i did have 2 videos that had a bit of success in my channel and together those two videos have kind of helped the channel out.
But even the successful videos the retention was still low. What I mean for example is people jumping ship around the 3 minute mark in a 3 minute video. Or on the shorter videos people jumping on a minute or less out of 5 minutes.
And no matter what I do I can’t change that. I can almost say either way a high level of certainty for example that if i uploaded a video right now. By the end of the day it would be the same thing as the other videos between 15 and 30% retention only.
I’m going to keep trying through. Hopefully one day I can tell you about the video that changed my whole channel around! 👍
