I will start my solopreneur career next year so I soak up every info I can get atm. Thanks so much for your insights. Also, I wish every small content creators great success on their journey. You got this 👍
Okay, I liked how you are not staring into the camera the whole video. This technique is more engaging ... that is when you look away. 11:11 in this video demonstrates how you are looking away to your left, as if you are gathering your thoughts as you talk. This is how normal conversations occur. No one just stares at the other person when having a causal conversation. You should make a video on how looking away makes the viewer more comfortable.
@@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc Well, they are criticizing you from their own wounded heart. I watched one of your videos and keep being yourself! You have a great channel. Lovely!
@mathewallen555 it has to be close to 100% nobody wants to watch a video where the sound is garbage. The outliers may be shorts, where sound may not be important.
To everyone who is reading this and hasn’t been monetized, I hope you become successful with your channel. Trust the process and never give up! We’re get there!
Your recent 1 k challenge sparked me to reevaluate my channel completely. New name, new format, new attitude. I've seen good audio results using the Boya V4 mics. Certainly comparable to your choice,with 4 mics,noise cancellation, excellent audio quality during outdoor use,and long distance capabilities as well. Price is good too. Thanks again for your valuable insight Think Media.
Love this channel, it has helped me a TON with getting my channel going. It is such a learning process but so far super enriching. Thank you and your whole team for everything you do for us.
Great info 😊* ty! There are a lot of channels that don’t request for insights. They don’t engage with their audience. They are skillful in growing their household name and it works for them. The content is evergreen and that is a topic that I don’t know if it gets talked about or not. I like how low maintenance it is and yet people are really drawn to that kind of style of production.
Yes audio will make or break my viewing experience. 5:02 this highly depends on the niche. I was doing educational content for awhile and while it did give me traction, my audience preferred videos that were more experiential. So I feel I have more of an escapism-entertainment-value than solving a problem directly. 27:49 great insight. Thank you
I’ve been doing RUclips for almost 2 years. Got started with shorts, just to figure things out. I have 1100+ subscribers today, but 1000 of them came mostly from those shorts, which were all over the place in terms of topic/niche/style. Now having posted 56 long form videos (some of them now unlisted or private) I’m wondering whether to pivot this channel and zero in on a niche, or start over with a new channel and keep this one for any passion project videos that don’t fit the other one. My other problem is committing to a niche. I’ve taken your niche finder course (great stuff btw), watched a ton of videos on the subject, read books on the topic, and still feel like I can’t decide who I want to serve. The indecision is stunting my progress, but no amount of ikigai talk is helping 😂 so what should I do my dude? Shed your Sean light over here 💡
Great video. I am a new RUclipsr (one year) who has definitely struggled with audio. This was very timely. My next video is a part 2 about my audio struggles. It gets published tonight…mainly about my challenges with recording outside in the wind. I may need to do a part 3 based on what I’ve just learned LOL Thanks! VRA student and continuously learning.
Again its my time to listen you with a simple phone using as my promises I'm not quit and continuestly exposing as part of a small channel but just like a crazy man for my willingness to improve everything without a hassle once again have a nice day 😂😂
Ultra small channel here, just started posting a couple of weeks ago. Hoping to connect through music and build a community. I understand this is going to be a slow and steady grind, will look to do my best to learn and grow along the way. Good luck to all fellow RUclipsrs!
Matt & Shane Secret Podcast is prime example of decent audio and basic video. Sometimes its 3 of them, and the only have one wide angle shot. No close ups, no individual shots. They also got the largest patreon
Absolutely! I really wanted to hear this girl and her unique content, but couldnt get passed her low quality audio. Her setup looked great, but i couldnt hear anything so i watched a different video from a different creator
The microphone you talked about, is it the best for outdoors? All of my videos are recorded outside. Next to a highway and I often have high winds. What microphone do you recommend for this?
I’ve been following you since 2020 and your tips have certainly helped to grow my channel…tremendously! We also have a lot in common. We are Christian. We live in Irvine, CA. Love Vegas and it’s probably the only other place we would ever consider living…etc. My point is your advice and tips are spot on and sometimes we don’t want to face the fact that WE the RUclipsr need to improve, get better, make changes, pivot, be more specific, organize, invest in the right equipment, etc. But it’s the truth. Your kind but honest teachings when followed consistently always works. And when my channel hits a plateau I know that Think Media will have the solution! Thank you and your team for providing this sound education for RUclipsrs! All the best to anyone that reads this! Love, Shira
Does RUclips kill videos ? My shorts specifically will get 500-600 views with 75% watch time in first hour and then 10 views over the next month. I’m no great content creator or big channel but that seems weird.
I’ve been doing RUclips since June. My niche is faith based content. My goal is specifically to reach men, to help them become better men of God. I’ve done a few video series on certain books of the Bible. I also will just do random videos and I recently started posting my podcast content on here as well. I was seeing a decent amount of growth but it seems to have slowed down drastically. I see decent amounts of views on my shorts but long form videos, I see very few. I also don’t seem to gain subs through shorts. Any advice?
I finally upgraded to the DJI microphone after using Rode wireless mics for a long time and what did DJI do they come out with the DJ Mic 2 and now the DJI Mic mini, unfortunately I have to use these microphones until I get my moneys worth out of them because nobody is sending me free stuff and I can’t afford to buy a microphone just because it’s the latest and greatest.
Will the DJI mic mini work for sound bath meditation channels? We need to pic up sounds in the room and not cancel background noise. Any advice appreciated!
Here's a question: how would you figure out the ratio between new creators on RUclips vs new people watching RUclips, but exclude the creators that don't really do a lot. I know all creators are counted when RUclips puts out the numbers, just cut those people out
Thank you for the info on the dji mic info. I watch all your videos and have learned a lot. Thank you Think Media! Mr. Jessup Kids Learning Channel thanks you.
Hey so I've been doing youtube for only 2 weeks so far, I have an outdoors channel based in Northern Minnesota. but I'm struggling specifically with Camera angles, learning how to edit past trimming to a rough cut video. Like how to add effects where to find sound bites and music to use, and I'm also having trouble figuring out how to add my personal edge on my videos. Any help from anyone is greatly appreciated.
I have been doing RUclips for 1 week. My niche is music related to songwriting, singer, learning how to play guitar. I also follow the idea that I record only if I have the urge to record a video, sharing anything I want. Mostly is about music, but it could also be able the problem I encounter as a new RUclipsr, as a B..R..O..K..E.. 24 year old girl who live in Puerto Rico. Yes, I just made a video about it answering your question because I was just eating my moldy jerky while learning from you at the same. And No the video want be out until 3-4 days later, because I learn that RUclips Need to ananlyze my video first. So, yeah! I basically documenting my new life in Puerto Rico as a new singer, songwriter, and RUclipsr. RUclipsr because I am educating my (none existing, 10 subscribers) audiences about whatever I have learned. Newest learning is that I created is the Pick Pluck Plum Ploom sysytem today where I basically find out a way to turn my vocal tune into my guitar, Bobby. I have very minium knowledge on guitar or music theory, just learned the A chord two days ago. I created this system for me to know what note I am playing on my guitar, Bobby. Because I want to add instruments to the many songs i have created. I am a one person who is runing my RUclips channel. This channel is for me, mostly so some of your advices didn't apply to me. I am still happy to learn from you though. So thank you, Think Media Podcast!
Sean what about sponsoring from my local businesses? This is one of the things I was thinking about. A lot of the local businesses I would like to work with use Instagram. Should I focus more on RUclips and repost the content on IG?
Another thing viewers want is for the presenter to not beat a dead horse. Make your point and a couple of supporting points, then move on. Don’t drag it out to increase the length of the video.
For those that don't know, there is a MUTE button for a reason. There is the ability to turn the sound, all the way down. There are plenty of channels where NOBODY really cares about high quality sound. But what they do care about, the highest quality video. So why so many are STUCK in Tunnel Views of the World is beyond strange. By far the biggest reason channels GROW is not the quality of the content but the ability of others to be SEEN in that growth. The 2nd biggest Reason, I could post the name of certain channels and it would not be all that hard to figure out.
Number ONE is false. Why, it's has to be a survey that leaves out a HUGE part of the YT Universe where Video Quality is most important and adequate sound is secondary. Your type of video, folks can just play the Audio and certainly then that's the most important thing because this Video is a Learning/Info based video. Well here's the thing, so much of the YT Universe is an Visual Experience, First and Foremost. So I don't know who's doing these researches but they need to find somebody else.
Most Ads have ZERO to do with the interest of the YT viewers. So if AI or whatever can actually bring in Ads that actually merge with the actually viewed content, well that just plain Common Sense. So the video is about getting healthy and the Ads are about things that can help make that a reality.
My channel shares bite-sized Christian encouragement and inspirational videos. I've recently made an effort to choose background music that fits the message. I think it makes a difference.
Ai wants good voices... that's why. People are being offered serious money to sell thier souls... I mean all thier content... so be warned. However, you are right about audio.... only 2% of the world speaks English as a first language... competition over music, doesn't help. 😊
@ thanks Think. I can tell you put a lot of thought into your response. Think about the butterfly effect of what you just said, truly. You have given me something to think about and I won’t forget you.

It is because I look away or up and to the right, I get the most criticism 😢
@@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc Well, they are criticizing you from their own wounded heart. I watched one of your videos and keep being yourself! You have a great channel. Lovely!
I will close down a video real quick if audio is bad OR the music is too loud drowning out the person talking. This is annoying
Good 👍
There's no way only 80% of people value good audio over video. Poor audio will absolutely kill a video.
So you’re saying it’s more like 100%? I would agree with that.
@mathewallen555 it has to be close to 100% nobody wants to watch a video where the sound is garbage. The outliers may be shorts, where sound may not be important.
Audio is everything initially

Thank you so much Sean, I got a lot of new ideas for my Video(s). Thank you.
I use music for videos but they are toned down by 70% and are quite nice to watch , but there is still a lot I need to learn 👍🤩😊
The microphone you talked about, is it the best for outdoors?
All of my videos are recorded outside. Next to a highway and I often have high winds.
What microphone do you recommend for this?
The noise canceling is really impressive - and you could make sure the wind sock is on it.

I bought this little beginner microphone for my let's play videos and it sounds decent
That’s crazy alot of people chose Rhode mics over DJi
