    A note from Jakob (the editor) on video gear:
    There are a lot of things we use to make videos that I wouldn't recommend people to use for theirs. It's just stuff we had on hand, so it's what we use. That being said, there are things we use that I would recommend, and those are listed below. I'm working on putting together a FULL recommended list of equipment to get your videos looking super sharp. That's coming soon :)

    This was awesome to watch- except hearing my voice. That pained me. It absolutely made my day to hear that you were more enticed to read Hobb after that. Realm of the Elderling is easily my favorite series for its characters, themes, and for helping me get through hard times. Dr. Phillip Chase helped me work through my thoughts on Fool’s Errand- he had fantastic insight on it.And I am so happy I’m not done with it. I loved seeing everybody talk about Sun eater too. Such a fantastic series- they made me want to reread it. Also, you guys can use my name- I gave up trying to hide it a while back because there is no reason in my eyes. Regardless, I am absolutely going to do it again and hopefully improve my video voice. And seeing some new books I have never even heard of before in here was just so cool. I loved it. KEEP THE HOBB PREACHING HEIDI! Anyways, to the crazy people who read this far- I hope you have a great day. Now back to finishing up Curse of the Mistwraith for me.

    This is going to make your channel explode. This paired with a good live stream becomes community. I think I am going to join, if not to throw my content in with a community. (I only read and recite my own work on my channel, so it's not a review channel. I am an author) , and it will be a good place to share work, 2300 word short stories, etc.
    You are funny and engaging. This paired with a strong live stream and/or discord always propels the growth of a channel. I have seen it myself with the likes of The Why Files. You have your son's strong editing skills (I forgot his actual degree) and banter that help, and of course Pooh bear.
    Basically what I have seen on my time on RUclips that community building from the ground up like this, where people that are your fans can meet and becomes friends, is the number one way to buid a solid channel, first and foremost. and you got all the rest.

    What unique fun idea! Between this and the family feel/involvement in your videos, the channel is starting to really stand out become a must watch for me. Also yeah, you gotta read Hobb. I just finished the series and it’s the first author , of any genre, in 20 years that has come close to dethroning Tolkien as my number 1.

    @PreppinShootinLivin 2 месяца назад

    I knew this was going to be cool....and I imagine you guys will only grow this into even more cool things...like some possibilities would be book club/buddy read style, where you ask everyone to read the same book or start the same book so every video is their thoughts on the book or the X number of chapters of said book. And of course you can do even more stuff with all this.... but yeah, good stuff!

    • @PreppinShootinLivin
      @PreppinShootinLivin 2 месяца назад +1

      I was just thinking, maybe another possibility is that you list 5-10 books you want to read and then all the video entries will be everyone's recommendation from that list and then you have to pick the book that gets the best recommendation that sells you on it. Then you read and review that book and maybe have those same people that recommend it also do another video about their further thoughts/spoilers that you can add to the end of your review of that book. Anyway....
