thanks Eric, the channel blew up for wrong reasons though (short videos that went viral and got me de-monetized lol). So I can't relax just yet but I truly appreciate your work on supporting each and every one of us trying to make it on this platform!
All good points, or should I say negative points 👍🏻😜 You gotta have a passion for editing and creating if you’re going to start this RUclips thing, you’re absolutely right, cuz the pay off of nil.
Yeah Passion for editing is very important. Most people who I see quitting YT after few months are those who hates to edit. They have amazing ideas and on screen chemistry but just hates editing
1000% agree. Still fun to do. You need to look at it as a hobby. Took me just over a year and a half to hit that 1000 subs, you’re not kidding on how little a RUclips channel makes lol. Yet I started off doing a video every other week. If I was to start again. I found the 1 per week is much better. Yet you need to be careful and not just make videos to have something come out. Love your channel, keep up the great work!!!
yeah I am going the opposite way of uploading. I will be uploading less frequently next season as I burnt out few times this year trying to keep up with one a week. I would LOVE to do 1/wk if I had the time to film and edit but life just doesn't let you, especially if your main income isn't YT. Thanks for chiming in!
@@KSMotoCafe I get that. Personally I try to have about 4-6 weeks ready. Yet I try to prep more for the winter. I find it easier in case you’re not feeling it or have more pressing items in your day to day. How do you find winter mths? In Canada it makes things difficult with the snow/salt. Again man, keep up the excellent work. Look forward to seeing your channel grow. It’s well deserved.
@@SLIGHT_ I live in BC where winter is only few weeks long! And even between then, I can still squeeze a ride or two. Issue is the salt deposits on the road that eat up my metals if I don't wash it thoroughly after each ride
I love the negative , they are so funny ,when they think they can get to you . I either ignore or laugh at them . I'm going to do my second channel as a motorbike rider . Thank you for all the help . new Sub 💚
I'm so happy when I found your channel because I love watching videos about motorcycles. I was thinking of starting my own channel when I get a bike, but I really think I'll probably learn riding some first and give it a year to get used to riding. I MIGHT get some video of myself on parking lots as I do some videos of how I'm getting comfortable on the bike. I still haven't gotten my first bike yet because of life reasons that made me put money elsewhere. I might do it at some point once I get a bike, but I will probably wait to do full on motovlogging till after I get time under my belt. I'm still aiming to get a harley 48 as my first bike. it has my heart and I know I have to get it in the next year or so because I feel they will be harder to come by since they are going to not be made any longer it feels like. I really enjoy your channel and thank you for the time and effort you put into this. It's so very much appreciated by so many.
Yeah that is a good and safe idea. You should always record your rides with a gopro regardless if you are motovlogging or not because it helps to produce evidence when there are no witnesses. Also you can keep those footages for when you self-reflect when you do start motovlogging real time after gaining some experience! And hopefully this week's video covering the positive side of YT may further cement your desire to vlog. I am so excited for you man! Don't get too fixated on one particular model or brand of a bike for your first one because in reality, even if you get the 48, you will want a different bike after awhile. Just decide on whether you want a cruiser or sport bike or enduro and then pick at least 3 bikes from different brands so that you have options when a good deal shows up. If you are fixated only on the 48, you will end up overpaying its worth and maybe have buyers remorse later. Food for thought!
Great video! Been thinking of starting a channel myself, but as you guessed it-- didn't have the money to get the equipment. Still don't LOL! But it's still an itch that I'll scratch once the weather improves (we're located just a little south of you in Olympia, WA). BTW, LOVE your 883 ;)
thank you! I suggest if you are serious about starting up, just start stitching together videos using video captured by your phone or existing cameras, then get used to editing video with voice :)
Thank you so much for the pros and cons of this journey I've decided to take last year... I agree with you in everything said! It's not easy at first, hard truth! I also started my channel at the same time I got my motorcycle 😂
@@KSMotoCafe There are a lot of clips throughout my channel that show how many close calls I came across But I matured from all that and now I rage less or only when it's necessary. On the other hand, I dropped my bike once because I forgot my kickstand And I lost control a few times in the beginning which resulted to me going off the road
Really appreciate the insight, you make a lot of great points. I am new rider too and am documenting my experiences as part of this hobby. I’m at that funky 400 sub mark area and you’re right, just the time it takes is nuts… looking forward to watching more of your stuff and hopefully stay motivated myself to keep on putting videos out.
yooo! Appreciate your feedback man. Glad to see another motovlogger with similar background! I am going to check out your channel more thoroughly when I find the time since you got some how to videos that I need to learn for my Iron 883! Cheers!
You touched on all the reasons I watch and not create. Too much work, time, and money for me to invest. Not enough passion. I love watching different channels and learning new techniques etc. RUclips is an amazing resource, all for free. Ride safe, I wish my roads were clear 😎🇺🇸
The TASCAM is great - I am still playing with my settings, but I find it as the best audio option. The algorithm is like marriage - just when you think you have it figured out, they change the rules. The Roads grounds still look nice
Why don't you become moto+travel vloggers. I'm surprised very few Americans do travel vlogs. What I'm saying is USA have so many beautiful landscapes. Like Sierra Nevada mountains, Grand Canyon, Maui. California herself have lots of lots of sceneries to bound. Also people fing vloggers interactions with people intersting that gives viewers like 1st person experience. I discovered your channel because of the mutual like of Harley sportster.
when I mapped out my 5 year plan for this channel, travel vlogs are written in for 5th season. Right now I don't have the time to spend away from my family to go for few days. But next year, I am trying some motocamping and see how that goes!
well lucky my work let me work from home, so i get more time of recording and editing. and yes, i realize it took alot of hours and i even forgot to eat
Just to let you know I subscribe to your channel just wanted to let you know cuz I think you kind of honest and I like honest people your 883 you need to get a bigger bike like a 1200 or a Vulcan Yamaha or Honda the metric bikes I see that there's a lot more people interested in that now if it's to where your wife is riding a bike yeah it don't matter what she will be on I mean that's just you know from what I seen the women that rise motorcycles they get a lot more views and a lot more subscribers and it's like okay well first go for us you know where where idling in water just want to let you know that sir 👍😊
@@KSMotoCafe will you be doing the upgrade yourself or having somebody to do it for you just asking the question that's all if you doing it yourself that would make for a good video right there just wanted to ask you that question sir
my 883 gets really uncomfortable after an hour of riding. Also the low mileage per tank doesn't calm with travel anxiety. If I am going long distance, I am renting a bagger lol
Sir I like to point out something to you when you do videos and all a motor logging are you looking for money to come back to you or are you looking to make your mark on the face of the Earth that's what I'm wondering about right now when I do videos it's because it's something that I want to do I don't care about getting paid back you know what I mean I don't care about being monetized or anything such as that I want to do videos and have fun doing videos I'm not looking for paybacks from RUclips I enjoy doing what I do I just got through with 100 videos and it took me two years to do it and everything first go for my cameras my computers all that came out of my pocket and I'm happy to say hey I done it all all my own please sir let me know what you think about what I said you have to have the drive to do videos for your grandchildren that's me well for my grandchildren can say hey that's my granddaddy there most important to me please sir let me know what you think 👍
hey thanks for this nice write up! I would say this, there are people who use RUclips as an online video album that can be viewed by family/friends/general public indefinitely or until YT collapses. There is nothing wrong with that. For me, I am mainly doing this to get back into video editing and as a creative outlet. I wish I could be doing this without a care about financial return from my time/investment/effort but unfortunately, I am not in that position where I can afford to spend 15-20hrs a week away from my family and a job to justify the time spent. So for me it is passion (for creativity) first and then income (to keep me afloat so I am not digging into my savings). That's my take anyway.
@@KSMotoCafe Yes sir KS but but when you start doing motor logging you know you got to understand there's a lot of people it's going to like some and there's a lot of people it's not going to like some and the thing is you got to find that happy medium where it's like you please a lot of people and you know days going to be nobody's happy just like I seen in some of my videos and it's like I understand but the thing is it's me I like my videos that I put out my videos it's not the greatest in the world and some of them is bad videos not bad but just nobody wants to see them and it's like you know all I want to do is say hey this is me and no Hollywood I can't stand Hollywood oh my God it is too much you know it's it's frustrating to have you know when you doing life footage and you don't want to have to do a second take you know it's like so frustrating but the thing is all my videos is first cut no second cuts or anything such as that other words when I screw up everybody going to see thank you so very much for your comment sir 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching everyone! If you are already a motovlogger, let my viewers know some of your lessons learned points!
100% on point. That said, you channel is blowing up. You're doing an amazing job!
