Cool! You can explain some jargons even in a consize manner next time for some audience like us who are unfamiliar with such terms. Helpful content, thanks :)
1. It's okay to be inspired, but don't copy other RUclipsrs. 2. Know what your "story" is before you star recording. 3. Don't underestimate the importance of sound quality. 4. Shot composition. 5. Pay attention to lighting and exposure. 6. Don't use unnecessary insert shots. Insert shots can make sense if they improve the flow and storyline of your video, but when they're unnecessary they can kill the video. 7. Limit your transitions to what makes sense for your content. 8. There's such a thing as too much B-roll. 9. Don't make shots "cinematic" when they aren't cinematic in nature. 10. Cut out dead space, a.k.a. long pauses and lingering moments. There's an exception when the time between shots is motivated. 11. Too much chit-chat can be just as bad as dead space. Cut it down in post. 12. Use music that is both proper and copyright-free. 13. Have a schedule. At the bare minimum, upload a video every week (unless you're The Piano Guys). 14. Try new things. 15. It doesn't pay enough for you to do it for the money. 16. Be human. 17. Don't just do product reviews of the newest thing. 18. Content matters more than your gear. 19 and 20. Impatience leads to burnout. Burnout leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
With hope of starting intellectual conversation: I don’t understand why every RUclipsr says “don’t do it for the money”. If it’s your hobby then sure you do it ONLY because you love it, but if this is your job then making money IS an important part of that and there is no shame in that. You can’t spend your time making this high quality content with no return. If there was no money to be made on youtube then we would be seeing much less quality videos and that would negatively effect everyone . I want my favorite creators to make as much money as possible because that is what ensures that they will keep creating better and better videos. I think what those saying this mean to say is “don’t do youtube expecting to get rich” or “don’t do youtube if you hate it, but just want money”. Because like you said it will take a long time to make a living from it, there is no guarantee. And the best content comes from those passionate about what they do. I think this is what you mean, but when you say it like “don’t do it for the money” it’s kinda misleading since I hardly think most RUclipsrs could do what you are doing, with the high quality equipment and time commitment, for free.
They say it because everyone pretends that our sole focus is on virtuous and noble aims. Riiiiight. The only people that don't do it for the money first, are those who have a spouse with lots of money or a real job. Yeah, most of us want to help people also, but nobody trapped in a shitty low wage job is doing it without an eye towards making money and improving their life. Like everything else on social media, it's pretend/BS. Just say I want money as priority one and I'd prefer to make money doing something I like second and third, I'd like to help others. This is the truth.
I've challenged myself to do a vlog per day all this year, and I've been pretty consistent, only missing a few days because of vacations or whatnot. I film 99% of it on my phone, and yeah audio quality sucks but eh, I'm not doing it for anybody but myself really. I'm just playing around and it has kept me busy this year.
I'm totally guilty of some of these. Wish I'd seen this when I first started. Great tips! I have been YouTubing for just over a year now and have learnt a lot in this time. I recently did a video about my experience on this and my tips are very similar to yours. But my number 1 is to know why you want to do it. That has kept me going through all the hard work to keep consistent.
The strange plant is called Yucca. The flowers are good to eat, the flower stalks taste like asparagus, the roots make soap, and the spines were used by Native peoples to stun fish. I've played with the plant for all of these.
I have to set a schedule! It's challenging with a full time job plus lots of overtime but will try to be consistent. Thanks for the tips, newbie RUclipsr :)
One tip I will give you as a newish youtuber myself is to download tubebuddy. It's free and actually helps alot. Also take advantage of the scheduled upload option when uploading a video. I upload my videos sometimes 3 days in advance but schedule it to become public at noon on Fridays. It helps me to be consistent with my content instead of having to guess at the time it will take to upload and process a video. =) Hope this helps.
I really leaned a lot from these tips! Thank you Jeven. The big take away whenever I watch your content is that you are able to insert techniques (transitions, b roll, composition) without drawing attention to it. It is understated and that makes the videos really work and sets you apart from some of the overproduced creators out there.
Great tips Jeven. If I could add a twenty-first tip, it would be to tone down the audio levels of the music to the narration, so that it doesn't JACK up to eleven when the music comes on. A lot of viewers are watching these on their television, with surround sound (like us), and when youtubers cut to b-roll, the music is RIDICULOUSLY loud. I've had a neighbor complain once because of it, and now I have to wield my remote like a gun ready to fire, so that when the music hits, i can mute it till i turn it down, then back up again when it's over. It's a pain in the ass, and an easy fix in post. That would probably be my biggest complaint to most of the creators that I watch regularly.
I think a lot of creators don't really go through and watch what they've put together, otherwise they'd catch those mistakes. It's an issue I've been learning to reign in, the default volume of the music import is WAY louder than what my camera records, I wind up setting background tracks to 3-6% volume and not letting them exceed around 86% for foreground... Editing is quite a pain
I want to say "THANK YOU" for NOT using background music when you are doing your tutorials... It is so much nicer to be able to HEAR you without all the unnecessary distraction. This is WHY you're so GOOD at your Videos.
This was a really good video! I'm not a youtuber, nor do I want to be one, but I've often wondered about how it all works. I'd like to add a few things that I personally have liked or disliked about videos. 1. If a video is between 15 and 20 mins. I'm much more likely to watch it. Beyond that, unless it's super interesting forget it! I just won't get into it! 2. Definitely the sound quality counts big time! If the sound sucks the entire video sucks, plain and simple. 3. Click-bait titles. I hate 'em! I'll leave a video within a minute or two when it isn't what it says it is in the title. No questions asked! Don't waste my time! 4. Going into the "chat" and people aren't nice. Forget it, I leave. Too "high school" for me! I feel the poster of the video has some responsibility to keep his chat friendly. Maybe others would disagree but that's just how I feel. 5. This is REALLY important to me. If your "intro" drags on and on, I'll leave. Can't stand to sit thru more than about 30 seconds of an intro, and that's even long! I think that's about it. Just wanted to toss in my 2 cents! Thanks for this video, it had good content!
Man, that camera reflection. Good tips though, especially the part about burn out. Its the same with any hard work, just remember to walk away from it for a day or two to recharge.
Great video, man. It's funny, cos I decided to go back to being a creative 24/7 not long ago (8 months now) and I have been overwhelmed. Not gonna lie. It's been awesome being able to just create content - music being my number one, alongside my videos for them - but there is a certain aspect of anxiety that follows. "Where is the SOCIAL validation?", "where is the money gonna come from?", "am I doing enough?". So I think you touch on those points really well. AAAAND, coincidentally or not, I found your video because TODAY I decided to get out of my comfort zone and just start vlogging. Yep. I think we overthink this too much. So once again, your video helped put things in perspective. Thanks and see you around.
Hello, I just started RUclips and these are really great points. I shoot all of my videos on a phone with the intention of learning as much as I can from it before wasting money on expensive cameras that I have no idea how to use, you know expanding as I go. I think I can learn Alot from just shooting videos and putting them together. It really gives you a perspective on how much time and effort nicely composed scenes take. Thank you for your advice. 😊
This is Ardit as a videographer with some pricey cams u dont need them. Ur phone is more than enough. I want to switch to iPhone filming for my personal stuff.
CONTENT REQUEST: Thanks again Jeven! I notice you adjusting for exposure as you walk. Can you tell us more about how you adjust settings, particularly on the move, like as you walk in this video? How are you monitoring your exposure or are you just that experienced and aware of changes in light, etc? Also, adjusting focus, like on a plane coming in for a landing. The camera may want to focus on the clouds when the plane is a ways away, etc. How do you handle manual focusing? Thanks for the outstanding content, BTW!
Get autofocus in center for vlogs and then just look straight into the barrel of the lens, you will always be in focus. I have no tips for manual focus but learning it by doing it often. For exposure on the fly use a variable ND filter, I won't ever leave the house without mine! Best regards!
Thanks for the tips. We have been in it for about 18 months and are growing. Almost everything you touched on has been a part of the journey. We have some influence on some smaller creators in the cruise niche. Shared the video in our FB community. Good stuff. Thanks. - Tony
Awesome! Just checked out your channel. Love the trailer. I know exactly what you two are all about. I'll be adding more videos this month all about what I've learned about growing a youtube channel. Lots of awesome info for you two! Happy Cruising!
This is fantastic! Thank you for linking to all those other videos in the description too. I’ve been wanting to start my channel for a long time now. Your videos are helping me so much to figure out where to start and what my focus should be.
The main thing I notice that I need to do is make more and consistent content. For some reason I have trouble coming up with ideas I can do on a regular basis.
So true about burn out. I almost got burned out making my first 10 videos because I was engaged so much. Working almost around the clock trying to produce. I got results from it, but the stress was too much so I slowed down and tried to just have fun and create what I enjoyed. Now I’m having a much better time and still getting results. All excellent points. Great video! Enjoyed 🙌🏻
Thanks!! RUclips can definitely consume your life if you let it. My wife has to snap me out of it when I go down a rabbit hole of creating content. Sometimes gotta just step away from everything for a little bit.
Varietygirl1 checked out your channel. Looks like you have upped how many videos you have been uploading in the last few months. I don’t know what your growth has been like since then, but perspective is everything. 900 people have loved your content so much that they want to know when you create something new. That’s really special. Keep your head up, keep creating quality content consistently and be patient. You are doing great!
This is the only part of the new RUclips update I like I'm not being shown channels that are not complete clickbait. Instead ones like this Channel show up which I'm going to subscribe to an actually watch.
Totally agree. I experienced burnout when impatient me thought I deserved more subscribers than I had at that time. But in truth, I had a long way to go content-wise and had to up my game in several ways. Sometimes impatience can blind content creators to what really matters - connecting with the audience that we have, thinking out of the box and most importantly to have fun. RUclips is a marathon after all, so what's the rush?
Thanks for that, some great tips in there! I love the vibe of the youtube community especially in the "niche" i'm in, everyone is so friendly and uplifting! (Mountain Biking). I think I've done almost all of those at some point and I'm still learning, this was refreshing!
These are really helpful. This is my second channel. Still plays in with my first but in a more relaxed way. I will say that with my first, I struggle with intro. I'll need to work on it
Surprisingly , I think I’m ready to be a full RUclipsr because I have not made most of these mistakes! I’m not saying I’m perfect , BUT I am staying true to my authentic self , and I’ve actually had a lot to patient and I can see things moving slowly but I’m having so much fun doing what I love! It’s not about the clout or all that , it’s about being able to look back and be so proud of all your work! I think that’s the best part of being a content creator! 😌 Also you forgot an Important one, DON’T PRETEND TO BE SOME ONE OR SOMETHING YOUR NOT! Cause you’ll only get lost and end up hating not being able to be who you really wanna be when you get tired of being something your not !
Just starting out. Thanks for your advice will keep all these in mind. I’ve implemented a schedule. Great idea. When I’m in the mood I’ll make a few vids then schedule release them. Definitely not doing it for the money it’s a lot of work editing 🤪
Good tips! I asked for a lighting ring for Christmas, we'll see if it comes! I do a lot of B-roll but I do travel videos where I show the location and what a place has to offer - I'm not sure people want to see my ugly mug just chattering about a place when they could be seeing it??? Thoughts?
I actually disagree about the random insert shot you used. I think it's useful because it shows some more on the nice scenary around you, and breaks up the rhythm of close head shots. If it was 30 seconds it would definitely be unnecessary, but I think a few seconds of walking on a log is fun, and toleraable even for the most impatient of viewers :) Still, this is very nice list, well done!
I've been making content since 2011, this channel since 2014; and I've been trying many different methods and have driven myself into a hole of demotivating hell. I've slowly been working my way out of this nonsense and started just to do and not think how it will turn out. My main flaws are the fact that my uploading is random, and letting my surroundings limit me. I have my friends to thank that help me drive forward!
19 Should be attitude and 20 should be making videos with TOO MANY edits. There shouldn't be 5+ edits in a sentence worth of commentary. Great video. :)
Creating more content and having schedule is what i learned thanks again for making such a great video. I create videos in automobile diy and travel hope this helps me.

So many helpfu tips. I absolute do a lot of them wrong:) That's why us small RUclipsrs need that journey, to get better:)
Scheduling is a problem for me. I have so many other things and obligations that I end up not being able to have enough time to record AND edit. Whar I find myself doing now is using my calendar to set a day and time thats solely dedicated to my brand and that time is BLOCKED out.
@@JevenDovey Yes! I have decided to make Friday nights and Saturdays for my brand. This way I can work uninterrupted. Doing it on the fly won't cut it!
Those are some great tips and I thank you for sharing them. I suffer from at least 1/3 of them and I know it. But that's why I watch videos like yours to rekindle that fire to continue forward.
Thank you for this video, I'm so happy with how far I've come on my channel from when I first started. I have finally reached over 100 subscribers and that is a milestone for me :)
I dunno what camera you are using, but that footage......absolutely STUNNING. YOU PICKED THE PERFECT DAY TO SHOOT THIS FILM. I value high quality, great visuals over quantity. Perfect.
Im extremely inspired by this well organised video who was short enough but although covered a long way like a good speech so thanks for boosting up my spirit as RUclips beginner :) and when you come to Iceland, it's my turn to repay the favour of being here to give your tips because I'm trying to put min tips in words as well. Good job and regards from Iceland
PUT HARD WORK INTO YOUR VIDEOS. When you become big you’ll notice viewers will watch your old stuff as well, most likely as you do with your favorite YT you watch, it will eventually keep putting money in your pocket as time goes on.
Awesome! I have a ton of RUclips training videos coming this month. There will be a ton of content to help you learn RUclips fast. I wish I had these videos 3 years ago when I started :)
Respect to you for not thanking sponsors for ten minutes before actual content starts. I see that and I'm gone... That is after all why I switched off my TV and came to RUclips. Nicely done. 🎯
OMG, I lived in Yucca Valley 30 years ago, when I was 21 !!!! I worked at the AM/PM LOL I later moved to Palm Springs and spent 12 years there before returning to Florida.
Every person who's new to video content should watch this. I'd say the big 2 are audio and lighting! Sure most dont have pro gear but being mindful of the environment and investing in lowcost mics and lights will go a long way!
Good Solid Tips. I have broken most of the rules but my videos have gotten way better. For me film editing is the hardest part of RUclips videos and making the videos as short as possible. I will definitely keep the rules in mind when making my future tech videos. Thanks.
I liked how you emphasised the lingering. So cringy, you definitely made your point! I am not even a RUclips creator, and yet I am glad to have found this channel. What you talk about applies to any creative or social exchange. Very spot on, nice pace and easy to hang around. Genuinely enjoying your channel and your collaboration playlists. Cheers from Stuttgart 🖖🏻
Definition of evergreen content right here! I was JUST pondering whether to add more b roll just for the heck of it, so your advice is still helpful and timely. Thank you!
Here is an explanation of B-Roll: ruclips.net/video/VY5hoS7GO60/видео.html
thanks
Jevon, I enjoy how you break things down. We are new tubers and could use any and all advice to grow our platform. Thanks for all you do!!!

The unnecessary insert shot in tip 6 was necessary to show that unnecessary insert shots aren't necessary
what a great contradiction
well played sir
I had to read that comment twice but yes, you're right ;)
I've challenged myself to do a vlog per day all this year, and I've been pretty consistent, only missing a few days because of vacations or whatnot.

I'm guilty of this I don't hear in my right ear so I didn't catch how loud it was till I put a earbud in to hear it

Great video and great tips - thank you

Dan Jones hey how do you get so many views with zero subscribers? Also i’m subscribing to you now so here’s to being number 1!

“Upload AT LEAST once a week... bare minimum”
Dream: I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear that.
Of all the tutorials I've watched, this one held my attention and was the most realistic. Much success to you! I subbed my fellow tuber!👊
I’ll try and avoid “instert” going forward
Thanks for the tips. We have been in it for about 18 months and are growing. Almost everything you touched on has been a part of the journey. We have some influence on some smaller creators in the cruise niche. Shared the video in our FB community. Good stuff. Thanks. - Tony
Awesome! Just checked out your channel. Love the trailer. I know exactly what you two are all about. I'll be adding more videos this month all about what I've learned about growing a youtube channel. Lots of awesome info for you two! Happy Cruising!
Thanks for the compiled tips. I’ve been dabbling for a couple of years as a creator and have decided to get serious with it.
Great tutorial Jeven. Felt really well thought through
Thank You! Planning is key to good videos :)
Jeven Dovey can you give my channel a shout out it would mean a lot to me
Agreed
Lex Ells I totally agree 👍👍💙💙
Lex Ells I agree.
This is fantastic! Thank you for linking to all those other videos in the description too. I’ve been wanting to start my channel for a long time now. Your videos are helping me so much to figure out where to start and what my focus should be.
that vloggers who put the camera on the ground low and go far away then start talking while crouching
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
This guy: so here’s a video for RUclipsrs let’s film it in the Desert
I got issues on my channel but I enjoy youtube and the few people that do support me. 👍 People should be able to upload what they want. Nice tips tho
My favourite part was when you tried balancing on the tree
Much needed hockey content that I didn’t expect to see here
Good video, beautiful natural location and useful info. B-Roll and Cinematic need more explanation with examples. Thanks for sharing.
You're so right about burn out I sometime feel that kind of experience but in the end remember to have the passion for it.
Jeven: dont have to many transitions people dont want you moving around too much.
Also Jeven: Stands up and walks
As a new RUclips channel I thank you for this video. I will take all your suggestions and try to put them to good use.
Tip 0: Don't wear reflective glasses.
That Husky is Crazy 😂
To wear glasses is no problem.
He's outside so why shouldn't he wear them
@@IamPINKIEDaniels theyre not good for filming
Lol
Really interesting, I will be diving deeper into the links to learn more! 😍💕
The main thing I notice that I need to do is make more and consistent content. For some reason I have trouble coming up with ideas I can do on a regular basis.
These are such helpful tips for small youtubers like me. Thanks so much!
So true about burn out. I almost got burned out making my first 10 videos because I was engaged so much. Working almost around the clock trying to produce. I got results from it, but the stress was too much so I slowed down and tried to just have fun and create what I enjoyed. Now I’m having a much better time and still getting results. All excellent points. Great video! Enjoyed 🙌🏻
Thanks!! RUclips can definitely consume your life if you let it. My wife has to snap me out of it when I go down a rabbit hole of creating content. Sometimes gotta just step away from everything for a little bit.
Jeven Dovey absolutely right. Luckily my content is about hiking and backpacking so to step away, I head out to the trail and have complete isolation
Varietygirl1 checked out your channel. Looks like you have upped how many videos you have been uploading in the last few months. I don’t know what your growth has been like since then, but perspective is everything. 900 people have loved your content so much that they want to know when you create something new. That’s really special. Keep your head up, keep creating quality content consistently and be patient. You are doing great!

In No. 8, what is B-Roll?
Should the 21st mistake be, _Not explaining to your audience what you're talking about?_
This is the only part of the new RUclips update I like I'm not being shown channels that are not complete clickbait. Instead ones like this Channel show up which I'm going to subscribe to an actually watch.
Mind Of Will I subscribe can you subscribe back
I thought the same thing! Finally a non clickbait hints vid. I subbed as well..
I agree
48 dollars your 1st year, that is awesome brother! Thanks for being honest! lolol
Keep grinding and don’t give up guys!
Totally agree. I experienced burnout when impatient me thought I deserved more subscribers than I had at that time. But in truth, I had a long way to go content-wise and had to up my game in several ways. Sometimes impatience can blind content creators to what really matters - connecting with the audience that we have, thinking out of the box and most importantly to have fun. RUclips is a marathon after all, so what's the rush?
by 19 i was done listening...but as i was about to click away YOU said 20. I was like "omg---you really have your stuff down..." LOL
great vid bruh
Thanks for the tips Jeven! Loved how you filmed in an adventurous location! Super helpful video!
Cool channel! I just started mine a few days ago and these are some great tips! Keep up the good work friend, much appreciated =).
Thanks for that, some great tips in there! I love the vibe of the youtube community especially in the "niche" i'm in, everyone is so friendly and uplifting! (Mountain Biking). I think I've done almost all of those at some point and I'm still learning, this was refreshing!
Big one should be.. Don’t wear mirror glasses it’s very distracting for your audience
Hah
I have this habbit of looking at other people's mouth instead of their eyes so that ain't a problem to me 😎
Hey man! Don't dog mirror glasses. Kim Kardashian wore mirror glasses while playing poker! Bwahaha!!!!
Overthinking Since 1982 Casey Neistat is a huge tool. I wouldn't use him as a good example of anything.
These are really helpful. This is my second channel. Still plays in with my first but in a more relaxed way. I will say that with my first, I struggle with intro. I'll need to work on it
Surprisingly , I think I’m ready to be a full RUclipsr because I have not made most of these mistakes! I’m not saying I’m perfect , BUT I am staying true to my authentic self , and I’ve actually had a lot to patient and I can see things moving slowly but I’m having so much fun doing what I love! It’s not about the clout or all that , it’s about being able to look back and be so proud of all your work! I think that’s the best part of being a content creator! 😌
Also you forgot an Important one, DON’T PRETEND TO BE SOME ONE OR SOMETHING YOUR NOT! Cause you’ll only get lost and end up hating not being able to be who you really wanna be when you get tired of being something your not !
Daily Dose Of Migue
I just started! I know this is definitely a long road but would you have anything to add to what he is saying?
Thank you for these tips. I’m a new RUclips-just started my Channel 3 days ago. This was so helpful!!
YES...
You need a dead cat on your Mic
when you're outside!!
(Good Call)
not assuming everyone knows that...
(like I just did) LOL
Just starting out. Thanks for your advice will keep all these in mind. I’ve implemented a schedule. Great idea. When I’m in the mood I’ll make a few vids then schedule release them. Definitely not doing it for the money it’s a lot of work editing 🤪
We both same thing Mr.Karl
Good tips! I asked for a lighting ring for Christmas, we'll see if it comes! I do a lot of B-roll but I do travel videos where I show the location and what a place has to offer - I'm not sure people want to see my ugly mug just chattering about a place when they could be seeing it??? Thoughts?
Down the Wrabbit Hole Travel Great point!!
You have perfected vidoegraphy. You're ten light years away from me. I have so much to learn. Here I am just having posted my fourth video.
I actually disagree about the random insert shot you used. I think it's useful because it shows some more on the nice scenary around you, and breaks up the rhythm of close head shots. If it was 30 seconds it would definitely be unnecessary, but I think a few seconds of walking on a log is fun, and toleraable even for the most impatient of viewers :)
Still, this is very nice list, well done!
The New Travel I agree, I personally am an impatient viewer but thought it was a nice break.
A new RUclipsr. Great advices! 😁👍💕
Thanks man, Helpful. What´s a b-roll?
Check out the pin comment given above! 😁
I've been making content since 2011, this channel since 2014; and I've been trying many different methods and have driven myself into a hole of demotivating hell. I've slowly been working my way out of this nonsense and started just to do and not think how it will turn out. My main flaws are the fact that my uploading is random, and letting my surroundings limit me. I have my friends to thank that help me drive forward!
19 Should be attitude and 20 should be making videos with TOO MANY edits. There shouldn't be 5+ edits in a sentence worth of commentary. Great video. :)
Creating more content and having schedule is what i learned thanks again for making such a great video. I create videos in automobile diy and travel hope this helps me.
So many helpfu tips. I absolute do a lot of them wrong:) That's why us small RUclipsrs need that journey, to get better:)
Appreciate the content brother, thank you. Helpful for someone who is just starting out
Thanks. Nicely done! New subscriber. Some elaboration on the terms "B-roll" and "cinematic" would have been beneficial.
Isn't that what Google s for? Just sayin'... The video isn't called RUclips video terminology, after all.
Scheduling is a problem for me. I have so many other things and obligations that I end up not being able to have enough time to record AND edit. Whar I find myself doing now is using my calendar to set a day and time thats solely dedicated to my brand and that time is BLOCKED out.
Yup you need to block out time to create and work on your content
@@JevenDovey Yes! I have decided to make Friday nights and Saturdays for my brand. This way I can work uninterrupted. Doing it on the fly won't cut it!
Great video and tips. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
Cool channel man! 👍
Thanks for checking out the video! Awesome channel. Trailer is perfect to show you exactly what you're getting :)
Those are some great tips and I thank you for sharing them. I suffer from at least 1/3 of them and I know it. But that's why I watch videos like yours to rekindle that fire to continue forward.
Thank you for this video, I'm so happy with how far I've come on my channel from when I first started. I have finally reached over 100 subscribers and that is a milestone for me :)

Hi
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm starting my channel now, I hope I will get more information to build it with my heart.

This video was very helpful, Thank you! i am a new youtuber!!
@jailynn simoneee Hi dear. Done hugged. ❤️ Waiting for yours. ❤️
Jailynn Simoneee me too!!
I just started my channel and am still learning. The hustle of a new youtuber. Thanks all the ways.
Really useful tips and very timely as I really want to *grow* my channel in 2019!
Thanks for the share. Good advice. ❤️
I dunno what camera you are using, but that footage......absolutely STUNNING. YOU PICKED THE PERFECT DAY TO SHOOT THIS FILM. I value high quality, great visuals over quantity. Perfect.
Thank you for this tips, I think my next video will be better than the one I posted recently, thank you, you just brought the little faith in me.
Im extremely inspired by this well organised video who was short enough but although covered a long way like a good speech so thanks for boosting up my spirit as RUclips beginner :) and when you come to Iceland, it's my turn to repay the favour of being here to give your tips because I'm trying to put min tips in words as well. Good job and regards from Iceland
PUT HARD WORK INTO YOUR VIDEOS.
When you become big you’ll notice viewers will watch your old stuff as well, most likely as you do with your favorite YT you watch, it will eventually keep putting money in your pocket as time goes on.
Thanks for sharing, really great tips and perfectly timing since I just started my own channel!
Awesome! I have a ton of RUclips training videos coming this month. There will be a ton of content to help you learn RUclips fast. I wish I had these videos 3 years ago when I started :)
Henry Alekna haha same here! Well its been like 6 months but I am back on the grind haha
Thanks for the tips! I’m thinking about starting a RUclips channel and these all make sense.
Keep doing good content bro ,, everything u talk about is right . 💪 keep going
FITNESSARAB I subscribe can you subscribe back
Respect to you for not thanking sponsors for ten minutes before actual content starts. I see that and I'm gone... That is after all why I switched off my TV and came to RUclips. Nicely done. 🎯
@nigelcarren Hi dear. Done hugged. ❤️ Waiting for yours. ❤️
@@kimmycristobal953 Thank you, Best wishes 🏆
My channel is growing slow, but am I not going to give up.
Keep it up ...i am doing also same
Done #26, keep growing, now subscribe me back🤝👍💞🥰
@@creativegirlscorner #63, done, subscribe me back🤝💞🥰
OMG, I lived in Yucca Valley 30 years ago, when I was 21 !!!! I worked at the AM/PM LOL
I later moved to Palm Springs and spent 12 years there before returning to Florida.
Pewdiepie has mega broken all of these rules
Well he has earned 114 million dollars breaking all the rules then
Lol. The rules are only for the peasants. Not RUclips Royalty.
No, Pewdipie is the opposite of that.
yeeet
Every person who's new to video content should watch this. I'd say the big 2 are audio and lighting! Sure most dont have pro gear but being mindful of the environment and investing in lowcost mics and lights will go a long way!
Transitions and Jump Cuts.... (too many... Not Cool).
Smooth... transitions... smooth.
Good Solid Tips. I have broken most of the rules but my videos have gotten way better. For me film editing is the hardest part of RUclips videos and making the videos as short as possible. I will definitely keep the rules in mind when making my future tech videos. Thanks.
surprisingly i do not make a single mistake out of these 20s💃
Just that mistake on your head...
David Mason stop being a jackass.
I liked how you emphasised the lingering. So cringy, you definitely made your point! I am not even a RUclips creator, and yet I am glad to have found this channel.
What you talk about applies to any creative or social exchange. Very spot on, nice pace and easy to hang around. Genuinely enjoying your channel and your collaboration playlists.
Cheers from Stuttgart 🖖🏻
Yes, I can learn from you. Thanks.
Definition of evergreen content right here! I was JUST pondering whether to add more b roll just for the heck of it, so your advice is still helpful and timely. Thank you!
New subscriber. Sweet vid
