What's your favorite way to greet people in a video? What do you say? What have you heard others say in their videos that you like... or even find funny? I want to gather as many options as possible for a project I'm working on ;) Leave your favorites below!
Boom! Yes! 😊 Hey, Rob. I'm glad you did this video. I saw Mike's video yesterday, and when he noted the "one person" issue, I admit that I did think of you (please, no offense, because I love your videos and you). And I then actually began wondering if you'd address his comments with your own video/discussion of this. Personally, I'm not "off-put" by your, "hey, guys" intro; however, yes, it feels much better and has the "like we're long-time friends" vibe, when you just say, "Hi, there, how are you?" ...as you did (and caught yourself at the end) in this video. By the way, clever juxtaposition/play on words with the title of this video. 😊 And to actually answer your question, above, yes I've seen others give intros that feel very intimate, while others make me feel like I'm in a sea of numbers... and the person talking could care less about me, and doesn't care to know me. As I embark on my third video, I was grateful to Mike for his video yesterday, *gold* I told him. I'm going to experiment with saying the word "you" more, in my videos... always keeping in mind that I'm talking with the one geology student that sees me after class, or the friend I've turned to when I need support about something difficult I'm navigating, or just as if I'm talking to my daughter. I'm eager to see how you incorporate these tips and strategies, too. You're better and better, Rob. In just the few months since I found you, I've seen that in you and was, ironically, thinking about that just last week. Now, if I can just get thoughts/plans cohesive and get outta my fear/stagnancy zone to get on that third video! Might need that coaching with you at some point. Take care, Rob 😊 👍
Veronica on the channel “Veronica Explains” often says on the into, “Hi Folks” with a funny cheesy grin. But always closes her outro with “…..Linux is awesome and so are you!’
I just remembered: I follow a guitarist in Florida (DOVYDAS) who opens some, not all, videos by saying, "Hello, one person who watches all my videos." ... It always makes me chuckle a bit. He doesn't do it so much anymore; but I always thought it was a clever "grab." It made him memorable, to me, as well.
@@theooidgirl "Speaking to that one geology student that sees you after class"... I think that's a great idea. It's that sort of thing that works well for me, and maybe it will work for you too. Best of luck with it!
@@OldMeLiving Haha! I learned very quickly that I have to slow down my walking if I want to make a walk and talk video without completely losing my breath lol!! Give it a try! Your audience might just love it 🙂
@OldMeLiving As I'd commented before on your video, the video is GOLD, and you've sparked us all to slow down, assess what (and for whom) we're actually doing, and walk this journey a bit more authentically. Thank you, Mike 😊
Wholeheartedly agree. I follow a girl on UA-cam who says “hello friend” each video. It works!! Now, to do this myself in my own way 😊 thanks Rob & Mike
This was such an interesting take. Honestly, your warmth and tone already make it feel like you’re talking to just one person-group phrases or not. You had already nailed this, in my opinion. Thanks for your channel! (Sorry for duplicate… Had to move location, was bugging me being under another comment=)
Thankyou Rob, for sharing this profound tip u sharing with us, from Mike's vlog. I am a new UA-camr & ws sitting on the fence for the longest, until I chanced upon Mikes channel in early Dec of 2024 ... AND, now, I am on my journey with my 60+ Ytubers on this social platform. Much heartfelt gratitude to Mike & have been following ur channel since Nov 2024 as well. Luv ur content. Thankyou for ur valuable insights. Sending a warm hello from Bangkok Thailand, To you & please kindly convey the same to Mike, when u nxt talk to him. Stay well Cheers 🙏💙😊
Great idea, Rob, and great video, though I have never minded your "welcome, guys." One of my favorite older UA-camrs (she's 70 plus, with 63K subscribers), Emmy van Deurzen, says "Welcome, by friend," singular. Something about that makes me feel like she is, indeed, a friend helping me, one on one, even though, of course, she's not IRL (in real life). And her calm style talking to the camera like a friend, with minimal editing, is something I hope to emulate in my brand-new channel about quantum health.
"Welcome, my friend" is a good way to start for sure! Whatever feels comfortable to you and you feel comfortable saying... it'll come across more genuine :) Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for all of your information. You inspire ✨️ a lot of new creators with your great tips. I am going to try this with my live. However, I did once have a long conversation for my whole segment .🤗👌🏽
Great advice, you are talking to ONE person. I like to start the video jumping right into the topic. Then after approximately 30 seconds, give or take, I say, "Welcome to Goose Pond Hideout, I'm Rob." And then continue with the video.
Such a great reminder and great topic to explore. The compliment "I felt like you were talking to me" is so nice to receive and it's how I aspire to show up.
I always listen to you with great pleasure because your voice, tone and way of explaining things are very engaging. I myself switched to a more authentic mode for my channel. Let’s see what happens.
Thank you, Rob, for all that you do! Thanks to creators like you, Alexa, and now Old Mike, we successfully launched our own travel channel in just 87 days and kicked off the new year monetized! Your tip about talking to one person is pure genius. It’s already helping us shift our mindset - taking away the fear of speaking to thousands and instead focusing on connecting with a single listener. This approach is a game-changer for recording more authentically. We’re so grateful for your insights!
That's fantastic! Congratulations on your success and keep on doing what you're doing! ANd thank you for the kind words... I'm happy my videos have helped in some way :-)
@RobtheMaritimer me to. I subscribed to his channel, and he is very informative. Thanks for the link. I also found the information i was looking for about affiliate marketing. I have contacted 4 companies today to see about sponsorships
Back when I was a DJ on the radio, that was the first important lesson I learned quickly: Talk like you're talking to one person, not thousands of people. Excellent advice!
You always have some good nugget of wisdom. I started using the pinned comment and that made such a difference. This, too, is great advice. Will be using it going forward.
Thanks Melanie :) I messed up twice in this video... I'm sure it will happen again! Best of luck to you with your new channel, and have fun with it! :-)
I heard this before and it stuck with me as well. Another point that really makes sense, your audience may be many people, however, each person is probably alone while watching. Therefore, it makes sense to the person watching you to be addressed in the singular. Thank you for a great video and for sharing another amazing creator!
Great point! Most people do watch UA-cam alone... well, maybe that's a bit too general, but I feel most people watch MY videos alone. There are certainly the types of videos that are fun to watch with others... like comedy :-) Thanks for watching, Diana!
Hi! I saw Mike's video yesterday and I totally agree. I talk about this in one of my videos and it's something that puts me more at ease when recording one. P.S. Mike is really an inspiration for us all. ❤
I'm so guilty of saying "Hello everyone ", " Hello guys", etc. I was never even conscious of it. I am still catching myself starting to say it. It's hard to break old habits sometimes lol. Great advice though. I'm slowly learning.
Great video Rob! While I understand what you're saying, about talking to one person. I think it depends on the type of channel. I'm perfectly fine with you saying "Hey Guys" . My first impression when I watched one of your videos was that you were talking to me, you're like my internet "friend" whereas Mike is like my internet "Dad". as he shares words of wisdom and life experiences on his channel. Anyway just my two cents!
The good news Rob, you have the relatability and down to earth style. I'm finding on my other channels that are music oriented, mini creators have not caught onto this yet and I believe they're paying pretty sizable pay for editing, I'm trying the other way where you're just taking a music lesson with me at my house. Seems to be working :-)
I personally didn’t mind how you greeted people Rob. Echoing what someone else said, you have a great on screen aura, so the greeting doesn’t matter so much. Thanks to “Old Mike” for raising the point that greeting people the right way can make a difference. Great video!
I think that’s true, I started my channel in the beginning of the year. I don’t have a niche, but I don’t talk to people much. So talking to the camera and pretending it’s a person really helps a lot. I was in a relationship for 13 years, and I was depressed so much. Starting my channel is something so big for me. It’s like I’m talking to someone to let everything out. Thank you for this video.
Thanks Rob, eloquently stated and very much on the pulse of what will allow introverted creators to be able to connect with their intended audience. Its no longer "public speaking" it is a one on one conversation.
Hi, you just got a new subscriber, I've been struggling with this, wanted to film a video today, but i just had to stop because i felt like i was not getting it right, after watching this video, i will make my video and try talk to a friend 😊. So thank you
I don't really need a ton of help with my channel though it never hurts to get reminded of what I should be doing. I watch maybe 3 channels nowadays on how to do youtube based solely on the fact that I like the personality of the host. In your case, you remind me of home as I am a maritimer living in Ottawa. Old Mike is one of the others I have been watching as he has almost become a substitute for my grandfather and all that is missing is stories of the Halifax Explosion which my grandfather had watched as a child. The third is Nate Black as I just find him amusing.
Great video! I love the premise. I jump right in with the topic or a question for the viewer and greet them later in the video. As a new UA-camr, I should experiment with both styles.
I certainly wouldn't be saying 'guys' - I hate that term that everyone seems to use these days, whether in shops or restaurants. I am a woman, not a guy! I'm going to take a look at Mike's videos now.
I completely understand! That's as good a reason as any for me to stop using that term. I can't promise I won't slip up in the future but will do my best :-)
Hi Rob. You could always just say "How's it going Eh!" I was saying before bob and Doug started using it. Maybe they're some other saying they use in Cape Breton( if that's roughly where you are) enjoyed your video👍
Great information…I luv Mike’s videos also…I’ve already subscribed to him because I can relate to him…I’m an older new UA-camr and I want to really make it in this competitive platform and researching and listening to others who have made it will help me…by the way I just subscribed to your channel also…keep bringing gems.
Awesome tip and great content! Subscribed. I started my channel Jan 1st. I just posted a video today and it’s funny, we are wearing the exact same sweater. You have great taste 😂
Another awesome video. Though it makes me slightly depressed. I have been on UA-cam for over a decade, and still can't get any traction. I have created different channels, trying different things, but never getting that many subscribers. I guess I am not that good, maybe I am boring, who knows. But that was an awesome piece of advice, maybe I will try to incorporate that in my videos.
Wow, am glad l watched this video, l am very new here, l have two videos on enlisted, trying first to learn all the things l need to do before releasing them to public, from editing to how to add wfitings, generally everything, I released two short videos just to test, without editing or anything, and l hope to take in, all what you've been teaching here, this is your 2nd or 3rd video am watching. Not so familiar with UA-cam gadgets, and being 50plus years, 😂 l need to watch your friend's videos as well. I will be glad coming back to watching more of your videos, l already subscribed. Do be blessed
That's certainly one thing you can do. I've heard of some people doing this with some success... but for me personally, I didn't find it helped. Give it a try! UA-cam is all about trying, testing and seeing what works best for you :-)
Haha! Actually, UA-cam would probably be ok with it... as long as you disclose it when uploading your video ;) AND be sure the audience you're trying to reach is ok with it too :-)
Maybe so, maybe no. My favorite channel, Belle of the Ranch, 854K subs, always starts with "Well, howdy there Internet people." After all, that is keeping it real.
You're absolutely right... there's definitely more ways to do this. Depends on what kind of channel you have to and how much you want to connect with your audience :-)

This video reminded me of Bob Ross. He had a very friendly style that made you feel like you were his companion sitting right there with him.
Veronica on the channel “Veronica Explains” often says on the into, “Hi Folks” with a funny cheesy grin. But always closes her outro with “…..Linux is awesome and so are you!’

I absolutely love the way that you communicated this topic. You did much better than I was able to. Bravo. 👍
Thanks Mike... but I really liked the way you put it in your video. It resonated with me big time! I also see you hit 19k subs! Bravo!!
Tryng to catch up to you my friend. i’ve got to work on my walking and talking at the same time.😳

@@OldMeLiving Hello Mike (my internet Dad!) great to see you here!
I always feel you are talking directly to "me" on your videos Rob. Great aura when you start talking.
I AM talking to you!! ;)
Wholeheartedly agree. I follow a girl on UA-cam who says “hello friend” each video. It works!! Now, to do this myself in my own way 😊 thanks Rob & Mike
Finding your own way is a great idea... whatever works for you and is comfortable for you to say! Hello friend is a great one :-)
Bingo! Because often the viewer is just one individual with their phone or tablet or watching on TV alone.
So true, Brian! Thanks for watching and I hope all is well :-)
💚Thank you Rob (and Old Mike).💚
I hope it helps! Best of luck with your channel :-)
Hello Rob and Peanut. , good advice. I think it is wonderful that Mike is doing well. I think looking old helps. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
well, I don’t just look old. I am old.😊❤
Haha thanks :-) And Mike... I think she was talking about me ;)

Fantastic! I wish you all the best with it! :-)
Haha you used "you guy's" twice at the end. Great advice as always and I need to do the same. Thanks for talking to just me
Haha yes!! I'm a work in progress lol!

Thanks! ANd yes I'm sure that would be super important as a DJ too!
Incredibly good advice! Talking to only one person should help with ”camera fright” as well! Thank you and thank Old Mike🙏🏻
Happy to help!
You always have some good nugget of wisdom. I started using the pinned comment and that made such a difference. This, too, is great advice. Will be using it going forward.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you're finding it helpful! And hello, fellow maritimer! ;-)
That video convicted me as well! 💚
Interesting... Keep learning!

Exactly! :-)
Thats great advice.

That's awesome! And all part of the learning curve. Best of luck with it!
excellent.
we get at least 1 great tip on every video! Thanks Rob!
I'm glad you find the videos helpful!
I don't really need a ton of help with my channel though it never hurts to get reminded of what I should be doing. I watch maybe 3 channels nowadays on how to do youtube based solely on the fact that I like the personality of the host. In your case, you remind me of home as I am a maritimer living in Ottawa. Old Mike is one of the others I have been watching as he has almost become a substitute for my grandfather and all that is missing is stories of the Halifax Explosion which my grandfather had watched as a child. The third is Nate Black as I just find him amusing.
Of course, now the challenge is on and you will have to try to talk Old Mike into one of your Monday streams 🙂
Thanks for sharing! AND.... Mike will be my special guest on my live stream this coming Monday ;-)
@@RobtheMaritimer I will have to mark that down as must watch UA-cam for sure ;-)
I like Nate too. 🌺
Great advice Rob ( and Old Me Living Better). Thanks :)
Thanks for watching!
A great tip from yourself and "old Mike"! I will be sure to check out his channel. I love how authentic your channels are....
Thank you :-)
Good point! I watched Mike’s video earlier. I’m going to try that on my new channel, talking to a singular person.
Best of luck with it! Have fun! :)
Mike, I agree with you. Plus I stopped introducing myself on my videos and use a animated title to display my name and confirm my guest name.
Great idea :-)
Great tip.
Great tip! I am definitely going to try this!
Good luck with it! :)
Great video! I love the premise. I jump right in with the topic or a question for the viewer and greet them later in the video. As a new UA-camr, I should experiment with both styles.
It's a great idea to experiment with different approaches - good luck with it and have fun :-)
Great advice! Gonna start my channel next week.....will implement this! Thx!
Best of luck with it and have fun! :-)
I certainly wouldn't be saying 'guys' - I hate that term that everyone seems to use these days, whether in shops or restaurants. I am a woman, not a guy! I'm going to take a look at Mike's videos now.

Great tip!!
This is your best video!
I'm so glad you liked it! :-)
I'm really glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
I just started a channel in November Kevin Navigates and I found your channel when looking for help for us over 40!
Hi Rob. You could always just say "How's it going Eh!" I was saying before bob and Doug started using it. Maybe they're some other saying they use in Cape Breton( if that's roughly where you are) enjoyed your video👍
Yes I could... but that might be a bit cliche haha! Cape Breton is about a 3 hour drive away... beautiful up there!
Great idea! Ha Ha I literally just got that sweater you are wearing for Xmas (or it looks the same). :P
LOL! Same here! Love it so much I ordered two more in different colours :-)
Great information…I luv Mike’s videos also…I’ve already subscribed to him because I can relate to him…I’m an older new UA-camr and I want to really make it in this competitive platform and researching and listening to others who have made it will help me…by the way I just subscribed to your channel also…keep bringing gems.
Welcome aboard! Mike has a great channel... love it :-)
@ Thank you!
Awesome tip and great content! Subscribed. I started my channel Jan 1st. I just posted a video today and it’s funny, we are wearing the exact same sweater. You have great taste 😂
Haha! You're the second person that told me that! Very comfortable... I love it... I guess I'm not alone! :-)
That is the same advice I was given by my public speaking coach. He said, talk to one, speak to all.
I love that!
Just found the channel Rob Love it, just subscribed, hoping to make my channel better as not growing as much as i would like
Welcome! Best of luck with your channel :)
Another awesome video. Though it makes me slightly depressed. I have been on UA-cam for over a decade, and still can't get any traction. I have created different channels, trying different things, but never getting that many subscribers. I guess I am not that good, maybe I am boring, who knows. But that was an awesome piece of advice, maybe I will try to incorporate that in my videos.
I think a big part of UA-cam success is the willingness to try new things :-) Good luck with it!
Wow, am glad l watched this video, l am very new here, l have two videos on enlisted, trying first to learn all the things l need to do before releasing them to public, from editing to how to add wfitings, generally everything, I released two short videos just to test, without editing or anything, and l hope to take in, all what you've been teaching here, this is your 2nd or 3rd video am watching. Not so familiar with UA-cam gadgets, and being 50plus years, 😂 l need to watch your friend's videos as well. I will be glad coming back to watching more of your videos, l already subscribed. Do be blessed
Thank you for watching and welcome aboard!! Good luck with your channel :-)
Would it be smart to have a picture above the camera of someone you are comfortable talking to in order to get used to talking to camera?
That's certainly one thing you can do. I've heard of some people doing this with some success... but for me personally, I didn't find it helped. Give it a try! UA-cam is all about trying, testing and seeing what works best for you :-)
i am also in Canada i recently monetize my shorts channel and now i made a new channel for long videos for UA-cam automation need good luck.
Good luck and have fun! :-)
Me and my best friend call each other derogatory names upon greeting. Pretty sure UA-cam would not be happy with that! 😂
Haha! Actually, UA-cam would probably be ok with it... as long as you disclose it when uploading your video ;) AND be sure the audience you're trying to reach is ok with it too :-)
@RobtheMaritimer it'd more likely get cries of protest 🤣
I do the same thing..."Hi, Guys!", so let's switch to "Hi there!" 😊
I hope it works well for you! Have fun with it :-)
you talk to your perfect AVATAR!!
I wonder how I can fit this concept into a non instructional educational video.
I don't know what you mean. How to you address your viewers now? Can you give me an example?
☑️☑️👍🏼👍🏼
It would be cool if you addressed me by name in your videos. 😂
Thank you so much :-)
Haha! Next time I will! ;)
@@RobtheMaritimer Lol
This is a great concept, unless of course you are only making videos for people named Guy.
Haha!
Maybe so, maybe no. My favorite channel, Belle of the Ranch, 854K subs, always starts with "Well, howdy there Internet people." After all, that is keeping it real.
You're absolutely right... there's definitely more ways to do this. Depends on what kind of channel you have to and how much you want to connect with your audience :-)
@@RobtheMaritimer It's a good Jedi mind trick on yourself, though. I remember simliar advice for public speaking on the stage.
Why are you building this channel
It's my hobby... something I enjoy :)
@@RobtheMaritimer great - thanks.
