Are you a fellow UA-camr?? Leave a comment below if you are!! Plug your channel!! No shame, give yourself a shout out and tell us a bit about yourself and your channel!!
I am a small UA-camr
My channel is all about ATV’s
From builds from the ground up new product’s and reviews helping friends with there ATV related projects and of course riding vids from practice vids and racing vids. I race xc i do some GNCC races and NYOA races and some local races as well.
obviously I am! my goals are to one day become larger and grow but the #1 important thing is like you mentioned having fun while doing it! fyi I laughed both times the cat came in the video shots lol
@@beardedatvers RZR is usually laying around broken down while Maverick is rippin around causing trouble. It used to be the opposite when they were kittens RZR was a hell raiser but now that he is a year old he is worn out and ready for a rebuild.... LOL!!!! See what I did there..... LOL
@@ononewheel7 I'd love to race some GNCC, that's some serious racing action. Love that series! That's awesome man!! You've been doing quite well on the ATV and your machine is lookin badass! I've been following you for ages. I don't go on Facebook much but when I do I always see your posts. Your channel has been doing quite well!! Keep it up. Your almost at 20K!!
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd just like the machines! I deff did buddy lol can’t wait to see what vid you got going on this week for your ride one
100% Agree with everything you've said. First and foremost you need to be having fun and have a passion for what you are doing!
Thanks man, it means a lot to me that you left a comment and that you can relate to what I'm saying. You channel had a lot to do with inspiring me to create content. You are like the godfather of this type of content on UA-cam. I've been watching your videos since like 2007ish. I always look forward to your uploads.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd I love your vids dude! That crazy creek terrain and all the different machines make your channel unique for sure. Hope one day we can rip together!
@@ostacruiser Thanks man! I appreciate it. I love the ravine terrain we ride on our local trails. We are lucky to have a diverse group of machines in our crew. I'd love to hit the trails with you one day. I'd love to try and organize a ride sometime in the future! Maybe we can make something happen.
Thanks for checking out the video. I often get asked how I started my UA-cam Channel and if I have any tips for people wanting to do the same. This video goes over some of the thoughts I have related to the topic. I hope you find it informative and entertaining. There is a lot more interesting discussion topics heading your way in this series. Also, there will be a new trail riding video hitting the channel tomorrow! Make sure to leave a comment below and don't forget to subscribe if you haven't done so already!!
One of the reasons I have a channel is because of you brotha! Keep up the great work & see you soon 😁🤘🏼
Thanks man! Appreciate that. Can’t wait to hit the trails with you!
Shameless plug here!! SxS rock crawling/hard trail riding and tech. Indiana Kentucky Tennessee Alabama. We’re about a year and a half into it now. Growing subs daily. We love this sport and that’s what led us to starting a channel. Sharing our knowledge gained over the years and just having a good time. We’ve had some of our most fun moments together offroad because of having a yt channel. And meeting new people along the way is definitely a great experience.
Good idea on the topic and discussion!
Advice to everyone starting a new or growing a newer channel...it’s tough, keep your head up and keep having fun doing it. Everyone in the niche coming together and working together helps us And the sport as a whole grow bigger and bigger.
Hey man! Glad you like the discussion topics. These videos won't appeal to the masses but I think they hit home with all the people with channels out there, whether they are big or small. Being a "UA-cam" is a massive time investment and requires a ton of passion if you are in it for the long haul as you know. I agree, it's about meeting new like minded people and having conversations like these. I subscribed to your channel. I'd love to ride with you guys when I head down to TN area next time. I'll be checking out some of your content man! Thanks for leaving a comment and I hope you enjoy the future episodes in this series.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd sure thing man! Hit us up. Tennessee is close to us and one of our favorite areas to ride when we get a chance. We love off-roading of all types. Could talk for hours on end about it!
Found your channel looking for people actually using their side by sides realistically instead of how a magazine or company portrays it. Love the honesty in how a vehicle performs, love watching the group dynamic of you guys, reminds me of atv riding with my dad's buddies, and love the trails and the problem solving. Crazy how similar Greg's trails look to the ones we have in southern Illinois. I had too many kids at too low a salary so scratching that razor itch may never happen but your videos get me as close to the trails as possible and that's appreciated. Keep on keeping on
Hey Giles. I really appreciate you leaving such a thoughtful comment. I'm happy to hear the videos can help you get your fix and I wish you the best so maybe one day you can get that RZR once the kids get a little older. As for the team dynamics, we are lucky to have a great group of friends to ride with and some good trails to enjoy. At the end of the day, the best part of these rides is the good times and friendship's we develop. It's about community and sharing a passion for motorsports and the outdoors. Can't think of a better way to spend our free time. It's an expensive hobby but overall I feel it's well worth it. I'm glad you appreciate the "real world" reviews. We get these things to use them and we are lucky we get to use them a lot.
Love the content man! I bought my Rzr a month ago. Never owned one and now I wish I would’ve gotten one years ago! Started my channel @woodoffroad two weeks ago and it’s been wild already with just a few videos! My channel is mainly trail riding and accessories right now. This isn’t my first UA-cam channel but it’s the first that I can enjoy with my entire family. When I got into side by sides your channel was the first one I ever watched and subbed immediately! Keep doing what you’re doing bud! 🤘🏼
Hey man! Congrats on the new ride!! SXS’s are a ton of fun and like you said you can enjoy them with the entire family. Happy you like the channel! I subscribed to yours too!! Maybe we can cross paths on the trails one day.
Another great video and thanks for putting this together. Definitely have to think long term.
Glad it was helpful and you enjoyed it! Been wanting to do a series like this for a while. Happy people are liking it.
I'm really enjoying your break down from your experiences being a Content Creator. Something I would like to add is this...as a new creator don't compare your beginning to another channel's peak...Topic is the biggest thing for a successful video. Being genuine and real goes along way. Good content and keep improving with each video.
My channel, Adventures This Way focuses on the experience of extreme off-trail ATV riding. I do cover some maintenance and repairs but I'm slowly transitioning into more vlog style ride videos AND ATV and ATV related product reviews...It is a grid but totally worth it. Being different is better than better....
Glad you are enjoying these vids man and thanks for leaving a comment. I subbed to your channel a while ago. You nailed it, don't compare your early stages to someone who's been doing it for 6 or 7 years. Make realistic comparisons!
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd Thanks for everything you are doing. It's appreciated. I'm in for the long haul...it's hard but so rewarding
@@ADVENTURESThisWay As long as you are enjoying it and having fun it's worth it. I'm glad I can share some of the knowledge I've gained over the years. I still have as much fun now as I did when I started, actually, probably more!
Loving the videos ! Thank you for the information.
Happy to hear you are finding the videos informative!! Lots more in the works!
I've been a subscriber for about 3.5 years. I found your channel while doing online research of what side by side to buy. My son watches them with me. Alot of the time I'll cast it to the TV and we enjoy the movie.
I'd realize the boarder situation is a mess. But at some point I'd like to invite you guys to come to maine n ride. You can ride all over Maine north of Newport without trailering it. We can go for days n not touch the same trail twice.
Stoked you and your son can enjoy the videos together Chad! That is honestly one of my favorite things to hear people say. That they can enjoy the videos as a family. I'm hoping the border stuff eases up at the end of this month and I can plan a trip down South. I'd love to ride out in Maine sometime. I've heard you guys have some amazing riding! So many places to explore! Never enough time and definitely never enough budget, lol. Appreciate the invite! Lets make it happen sometime!
This is good info for anyone wanting to start a youtube channel especially an extreme powersports channel. It's a long term game. Like AJP (not sure what your name is yet lol) says, there is a learning curve on many of the aspects of being a content creator. But if you enjoy doing all this, you will enjoy the journey. I love this too and I can tell your passionate about it, that's why I'm watching. I'm liking this series big time and looking forward to your tech talk. I have tons to learn on that. Looking forward to the next video and thanks for sharing your experience and passion!
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing
Loving the series!!
Thanks Alan! Glad to hear you are enjoying the new series!
Great video man 🤘
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
It's definitely important to understand the size of the audience you will be making videos for. If your content does not appeal to a large percentage of the general population (pets, health & beauty, etc), there will be a limit to how large you can grow your channel. You cover this well. What's the biggest side by side channel? SXSBlog? They don't even have 300k subs. That's not bad, but not really a "big fish" in the UA-cam world. To grow a big channel these days, you have to to something nobody else is doing, or do it a lot better than the competition. With all the competition on the platform these days, that's increasingly hard. Without a lot of engagement, motivation to keep making videos may decline. It can be fun to make videos for your own enjoyment, or to share with a few friends and family, but if your audience is sub 50, you're probably not going to want to grind too hard at making videos.
Ya, #SXSBlog has done amazing for themselves. Those guys are killing the game but also creating content much different then mine. I would say that the godfather is #Ostacruiser hands down. He owns the niche in my books. He sets the bar. I will always look up to him and what he has accomplished. Just a solid likeable guy that has built a massive international following on his pure passion for what he does. I've been watching him since like 2007 and he has managed to stay relevant and current the whole time, yet still true to what he started out doing. In a niche like ours where a channel with 100,000 subs or more is considered huge if you play your cards right and foster the proper relationships then you have the potential to do very well. A realistic goal is to subsidize your hobby. My channel has allowed me to subsidize my passion of photography, videography and offroading. It helps me build badass machines and create badass content I wouldn't have been able to achieve without it and without all the amazing viewers.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd oh yeah, I see osta’ has lots of videos with 1M+ views. Seems heavy on the mudding. I like the technical trails you and your crew do.
@@RyanRKJ Ya, ostacruiser is the original ATV mudding channel! Him and his guys set the bar for what skeg riding is! These guys were probably the first guys to take a SXS steering wheel deep in skeg!! They pioneered a lot of the stuff we watch today! I'm definitely more of a technical trail rider then a mudder but I appreciate and respect the nasty terrain those guys conquer!
you're nothing without them cats! You now that right? haha just kidding! I love all your videos the crew you have around you are awesome and the rides are amazing.
The internet loves cats... LOL. Stoked you enjoy all the content! Maybe I'll get the cats to do the talking in the next video.
I'm paying attention to this series.....
Stoked you are finding the series interesting. Got a lot of ideas in store for future episodes.
Just getting to this now great video series
Glad you enjoy it! I've got a lot more coming!
Your awesome ive watched most of ur videos . Keep it up
Thanks Cody, stoked you enjoy the videos! Appreciate the positive feedback.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd no problem love watching the videos with my daughter and my nephew
Thanks for the video on this subject as i already started a UA-cam channel. But the more i learn from someone with experience the better. We recently moved from PA to WV. Between the move and new job (line haul driver for a major package hauling comp) has really limited my time this year, so hopefully in spring get back to it. Thanks again. Looking forward to future videos on this subject.
Also a commercial driver myself. At least you have the advantage of living in WV where there are lots of great places to ride. I have to drive 2 hours to get there. The nearest trail park for me in VA is 1 1/2 hrs. Have fun.
@@rzrdaze the closest Hatfield trail is still 1.5 hrs away but my inlaws have a place to ride 12 miles away. My back yard there is a few hundred acres but.... a big chunk of it is a national park so not sure yet where i can ride there if any
Thanks Julian its some good insight
Glad you found the video insightful. Just my opinions and thoughts. I know these videos wont get as much watch time as the riding footage but as a creator that loves doing this I feel it's valuable to talk about this stuff. Glad people are enjoying it.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd yes like I said I’m gonna try and start making videos and I will use your tips in my creation
💛💚❤️
Have you considered taking your cats out on the battlewagon with you? Might just blow up the channel.
HAHAHAHA, my girlfriend and I were joking about that the other day. I should take RZR and Maverick for a ride in the RZR. I should have gotten them used to it as kittens, lol. Maybe I should get another cat and train it to ride.
I want to make content I like to watch and to open up and be more out going
You just gotta get out there and do it man! Ignore the hate and focus on all all the positive feedback.
I started my channel for two reasons:
Number one: I’ve always liked being on camera, so I figured I might as well film the stuff that I do
Number two: it’s a viable long term business. Get paid to do what I love sounds awesome to me
Hey man! Glad you checked out the video. It looks like you posted a video on the same topic as me on the same day at almost the exact same time, lol. As I mentioned in my video, to me this channel was not conceived with any form of business in mind. My goal was always to build a community and provide entertaining content I would enjoy watching and in turn enjoy creating. The business aspects and revenue generating aspects of this channel evolved naturally out of a necessity to fund the project. Looking at this project long term I have still invested much more capital then I have ever generated. All the revenue I generate goes directly back into content creation. Improving camera gear, editing equipment and production value. Maybe one day this channel will make a transition into a revenue generating project but I feel it will be a long time before it could generate the type of revenue required to sustain my lifestyle as a whole. I also don't want to sell out in the sense that I lose track of why I started this project to begin with. I believe in organic, natural and sustainable growth. Good old fashioned hard work and determination leads to success. I'm still waiting for the call from Netflix or Amazon Prime, lol. I wish you luck with the business end of things, just remember, the true values of projects like these are often more complex then just money. With that being said, of course I would love to make a good income as UA-camr and just create content full time. We all have that dream, it's just very hard to get there and still stay true to yourself. Hopefully I can keep building strong relationships with individuals and brands in the industry that will one day lead to me achieving that dream.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd yeah man for sure, I’m not out solely to make money, I do truly love doing what I do, and I’d still do it if there was no prospect of getting paid or sponsored. However seeing as there’s a way to make money, I just explored that avenue a little more than others.
I honest to god would be happy if my channel ever hit 50k subs, I would be over the moon if that ever happened. For now, the more immediate goal is getting to 5K subs
@@CommanderOutdoors Hell yeah man! I've been at this for many years and 5K is a huge milestone!! I remember 5K and 15K. I'm looking forward to hitting that magical 75K!! But quite honestly I don't really focus on numbers much these days. I just try to make good content. Consistency and quality content. Those are the keys.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd
I took a lot of what I learned watching your videos and tried to put my own twist on it, hopefully I’ve done a decent job.
if any of Julian’s Awesome viewers wanna help me hit my 5K subscriber goal it would mean the world to this kid!
@@CommanderOutdoors Check out Damien's content guys! You'll see his commander in a future video that will be dropping in the next few weeks! He has some steep competition though... Fish won't just give up his spot as the Unofficial Official UA-cam OG Can-Am Commander international representative.
I'm just looking for something to help get more people out there to see what a normal person can do out in the trails and maybe make a little bit of money with it
Late to the party! I've been doing a overlanding/exploring style channel called Jeepin&Explorin for roughly 8 months and still a little shy of 500 subs. Not where I'd like to be but is what it is! I've always loaded my videos under the travel category and been wondering if I should be using automotive category instead but can't find anyone discussing that?
Started a channelto make easier to find videos ,then scrolling though fact checker. At best I'll only have best at very little editing with old gopro and cell phone. Im good at showing off just suck at the video part. Would like to do some go review of my machine dont see many on the xxc ,also product review on my add on. Thank you for very informative show ,and the time you put in to make your videos.
Does CAN AM XMR still have the 3 wheel drive action going on with the new model? Overall how do they stack up against the Polaris? THANKS
I thought this was how to start a UA-cam channel not why
It's just me speaking my mind. Take what you want from it. I get asked about this stuff a lot so I figured I'd address it. The how is easy, make some videos, upload them, make some more and have fun.
