This was a great video, but I miss the old school days of UA-cam when you could just be creative, make stuff you like, find your niche, and people would watch. UA-cam has just become the next generation of the film/tv industry now imo, and although I respect those, and all forms of media I just miss the golden OG days of UA-cam like 2009-2014. But again this coming from a guy who has 3 dead channels now I do appreciate these videos because they still give me hope, just got to keep adapting/evolving/and start the creative grind from scratch again. Thanks for the content Ed.
true however you can essentially do that as well. It depends
The OG era was actually 2007, absolutely no rules and a fantastic platform where you could find litteraly everything at any given time, youtube has become too ''intelligent'' but yet not really because i wish i was surprised instead of being offered a video i watched 12 times already, anywayz
@@PeachRap I'm talking about OG days for content creators to grow their careers, not the platform itself
@@achimp3675 easier said than done, but yes still true
I agree with this comment 10000%
What’s I think is most incredible about this video is how the first 5 seconds are an absolute masterclass on how to succeed.
He grabbed our attentions, established the metaphor, and made it interesting all in one perfect scene.
What a legend.
Yep; he’s getting very very good at this. Hope Ed can keep finding new topics.
@@AT-zb3mj Ive got a million
Thanks :) I think the intro took me longer to write than the entire video haha
@@FilmBooth I’m genuinely pleased to hear that. :)
🙏🙏1k SUBSCRIBER CHALLENGE!!!🙏🙏
Been really trying to "do my own thing" and not pay attention to other's "success", but when I see a newer channel with 3 videos immediately jump to 1k subs / 30k views on long poorly edited videos it just wrecks the soul a little bit. Thanks for the advice and cheers to the grind.
You'll get their just keep doing your own thing and what you like doing.
Yep... It sucks
I feel this so much! It drives me crazy when I see people who don't edit, don't make thumbnails, have grainy footage and yet have tons of comments and views. Makes me feel like why am I bothering to edit and put so much work into MY videos when it's literally getting me nowhere. It feels like no matter what I do, better thumbnails, better editing, better lighting, better background the results are exactly the same.
I just realized that UA-cam may not pay the bills. Yet some people watch my content and I’m sure it helps those seeking it. I enjoy making videos and I’m doing the projects anyway so might as well video it. Good luck to anyone reading this and you will succeed. Just keep moving forward. Thanks for this content to help us find our way.
Yeah, I feel the same way. In no way would I want others to not find success. It’s just perplexing.
Nice, really liked the chain metaphor 👌 the biggest challenge is making videos your audience wants, that you want to do! They can usually tell pretty fast if a creator is just making content they think will do well vs content they're genuinely into, imo
I just got started. Doing what I can to see growth showing people how to develop positive habits so they can be ready for when difficult things happen in life.. Thank you for sharing this information on growth.😊
Creating an audience is probably the most challenging. Getting people to click on the the video and having great audience retention is difficult. We all need to keep pushing good content and one day we will make it 🙏🏾
Amen 🙏
Yes!
Yes! Omg! This part! Sending positive vibes to everyone!
Nope
I reacted to reddit stories on my channel! I would love it if you had a look!
To the person who is reading this, don't give up on your channel. Keep going, Its going to be better. 💯
Thanks
Oh thank you EC, I almost about to give up. Okay will still try. New friend here. Stay connected..
Needed that bud!
Thank you 😊
Ty…I know I shouldn’t say this but…could I pls get some subs? :)
After taking notes, sending this to lots of my UA-camr friends. Basically expressed what I've always thought but couldn't exactly put into words about UA-cam growth.
Same! For me it seems that as you focus on one area, another suffers. Ex: focus on quality and improving skills, but consistency suffers because it takes longer to create.
🙏🙏1k SUBSCRIBER CHALLENGE!!!🙏🙏
Waited for this one the whole day! Hopefully one day I can be a part of filmbooth, I love what you do and how you do it Ed! And Tyler is awesome as well :)
I was terrified I was doing something wrong when I clicked this 🙊 but taking stock of everything Ed said, remember it's all part of the process of growing your channel, it won't happen overnight. Keep showing up, try to become more efficient with your workflow and critique your videos from the perspective of your audience!
What I love about your channel Ed is that you genuinely show what your teaching in your own content, everytime (orange jumpsuit thumbnail!) It's like half living case study half tutorial.
I took your advice and spent 2 days changing my thumbnails and titles and I’m actually starting to see a difference! Thank you bro 🙏🏾
Before I’ve even watched this video, I can already tell you have perfected your craft. This has been the most eye catching thumbnail yet. And with almost 2k views in 30 minutes you have my attention. Thanks for everything you do Ed! Yours is the most entertaining channel in UA-cam education and your work and effort really shows in your videos
Great job Ed, you weaved that narrative so well with the chain. 10/10
Superb. Straight into the topic, no branding, no call to action, just pure content. A masterclass is production variation coupled with a concise script.
I was inspired by this. Great work. Hoping your other videos are just as good. Subscribed.
There's one final link to the chain that makes all the difference and it's called Famester.
What is that?
Huge respect. I followed you from the early videos and now I tend to watch more of your videos and channel makers than the others.
Another solid video! I love the pattern interrupts you are using for your own videos, the cut in with graphics, scenery change on top of the great story!
yea
Thank you, I wasnt sure if the random scene changes would work without being tied to a reason for them but so far its seems to be working out well
Help❣️
🙏🙏1k SUBSCRIBER CHALLENGE!!!🙏🙏
i totally agree
I always find myself skipping through most of these instructional videos on UA-cam but for some reason whenever I come across yours.. Somehow I always make it to the end of the video without even realizing it.
Thanks for making this process so much easier and more interactive to understand (love the way you keep my attention focused on your video) I really appreciate it!
Ll
Thank you for laying out a great pattern for my future videos. Being a beginner in youtube, this has certainly opened my eyes to what I really need to do. It is much appreciated.
Really good stuff. Thank you for creating this video. We are a tiny channel and grinding away by implementing several tips from your channel. Appreciate you sharing all your advice
Great advice, Ed! Reinforces the deep dives you did in your avatar and thumbnail workshops. Sometimes we need to hear the same thing again and again but said differently for it to trickle through, eh?
Only thing I can add to this is keep going, if you're a creator out there ans are truly passionate about it, don't let slow growth stop you from chasing your dream. Of course this is much easier said then done and I still haven't figured it out yet but I will keep trying to improve and hope you can do the same alongside myself.
"Keep going" is 100 times more valuable then spending 30 minutes a day trying to figure out what everyone else is doing.
@@ChuckHaney Couldn't agree more, as cliche as it sounds youtube really does come down to how bad you want it, are you willing to make tons of content with few views while of course following general stuff like good vids, thubnails etc. and if it doesn't work out I want to make sure it wasn't my fault that it didn't work out.
If you are passionate, you'll keep going. That's pretty much the whole point of the concept of passion. Views don't matter very much to passionate people in terms of content creation. It could matter to them financially, but it doesn't affect the passion for creation one bit. If a person loses passion for making videos, it's because they lost the passion for the craft, not just depressed because of the numbers. If you take your time and make well crafted things, then the people who share the interest will follow. People who like Yu-Gi-Oh! don't care give a damn about production value. If someone adds it, great, it will be appreciated, but nobody comes for the quality of production unless that's the point (channels that produce hq montages/short films). I had a very niche audience because I had a very niche style of videos (showcasing Japanese comics that I got) and I tried to put in more quality or do some fun/interesting things to elevate it, even superficially, ever so slightly. But none of that mattered. I care about quality. If I didn't, I'd still upload videos because people would come regardless. But UA-cam was never something I wanted to make a career. I don't care too much about video making. I care about learning and understanding things and when I was really into these comics (I still am but time and storage space kinda halted it for now) I wanted to share it and practice my spoken English. Now that I found a job through it (I animate advertisements for these comics) I speak English more than any other language pretty much so that purpose of the videos is over and since I care about quality and still haven't finished preproduction on an older video, I'm not making anything else because that was never the passion.
I'm currently passionate about creating dynamic personalized data bases and calculation simulators, so all my creative energy is going towards that. When you are passionate, you don't stop. The number of views you get is not a passion because it has nothing to do with creation. That's just psychology and analytics and most people don't care about that as a science. It's superficial attachment. An obsession rather than passion. People who make UA-cam videos and want to make it their career, need to first and foremost care about making videos.
There is a great video called The Toolbox Fallacy and to quote it "a writer writes". If you care. If you are passionate. You'll do something about it. This also applies to things like charity. People love to contempt the rich about not donating or caring about various causes, while they themselves are not doing anything to help. That's not care or passion. That's just following a trend (a moralistic one on this example).
Don't tell people to keep going. If they care, they'll keep going. If they don't, good, let them move more towards what they actually care about or try to find it out if they don't know yet. "Keep going" should only apply to those who feel inadequate doing the things they love, not those who lose passion for something they ultimately don't really care about.
Make the stuff you want, people. Make the thumbnails and titles you think are nice, not other people. Stop with the vague clickbait. Make us click because we care and not just plain curiosity unless that's the point. At the moment, I avoid these like the plague because I can see how dishonest it is. Reason I clicked on this video is because I had it recommended for a long while now despite me avoiding it so I decided to finally give it a watch since the subject matter is already something I'm a little curious about (from discussions with other people) and if it was so heavily recommend still after all this time, I guessed it was beloved so perhaps it is good. It was alright.
"A writer writes."
Nope, if you are a new channel, you will not get monetized. Period.
Thank you Soo much for these encouraging words. It's really hard to keep going and not see change but coming a cross words like this means a lot.
This was literally so helpful, thank you so much!! It's so much better than the generic advice of "be yourself" and "put in time".
Yo! You're putting out some seriously good content man! Love it!
Good luck!
The connection between scenes is great. 👍
I still have a day job that keeps me busy over 100 hours a week that I enjoy so fast growth on UA-cam isn’t as important to me as helping a few people along the way.
Thanks for all the advice. Have a great day and be safe out there!
This video was a Storytelling masterclass! Keep your audience craving for the mistery to be resolve! And BTW the mistery was solved and it was awesome! Thanks as always mate!
Thanks for including me in such a great video!
Another great video Ed! Thank you for the info. The animations were beautiful btw! 😊
You've got a ton of b-roll clips in your videos that help you tell amazing stories - I'm in awe, enamored and jealous. 🙌🙌🙌 How do you organize them for easy recall?
I want to know too
He names it. Clip 1, 2, 3,4…
Short, sweet, to the point! ❤️ Thank you 🙏🏻 I can’t wait to put all this into practice!
He is on point!
I’m working on growing my own channel and after all of these amazing educational AND entertaining videos, i realize that there’s a lot more work that needs to be put in that i didn’t even know I needed to do!
Just watched 3 of your videos following on from this one. You’re vids are brill! Lot to learn here for me
This video was a work of art. Using the chain as a visual aid was genius, and honestly this may be your best video in my opinion
Very creative presentation for a list of items. Your ideas and the way you present them is original and entertaining. Your transitions are great and not just useless jump cuts. the value in each sentence of this video is appreciated.
Thank you, Ed. The YT journey is exhausting so far. I think I'm pushing too hard, trying to learn a lifetime of what makes YT tick in a week. My head is about to explode. However, what I need to realize is, YT will still be there, if I take a break. I need to pace myself. Let that be a lesson for us all. Pacing oneself is important.
Thank you so much. Great analogy for the message. Loving seeing you taking your success to new heights!
I only started watching your content over the last 2 weeks, but I’m loving the style/presentation!
Very good video.
But for a begginer youtuber, I think that not only the theory is important and also practice. I've learn 60-65% from my own experience. Of course your videos are very educational and helpful but also practice and own experience and analysis is very important.
For example, by mistake I manage to have 2 videos with 10k views (long videos not short ones). With your help and other educational channels I understand why, but the fact I had the experience on my own I manage to understand better than only theory :)
Honestly my first aim on my channel was to create a community, because my target is quite small, but there is not so much competition. And I am happy to see that I have comments and engagement from my viewers.
Firstly I was not sure about my target public and started with the wrong idea and public target, and after 4-5 videos I switched my direction. And now after 15-16 video I still looking to find my style and experiment what is working and what not. I think after 1 year and more videos and analytics I will now for sure on which way to go.
Because I don't have any real competition on my niche, I really need to educate, find and attract the public which will like my type of content. Actually the public needs to discover my content.
So now I am plan to attract new viewers, but i nthe same time to not lose the current fans.
Really helpful. We’ve been trying to grow our channel and it feels like we ran into a wall. This video really inspired us to keep going. Thank you.
Thanks for making this. I have struggled with trying to get my videos in front of people and figuring out what my viewers are looking for.
I never comment on these types of videos....but....I wanted to say "WOW". I'm so impressed with your content lately. I'm starting on my major growth trajectory using these same concepts, and I loved how you made them easy to understand and "linked" them together. See what I did there. Keep up the great work and consider me a FAN of the channel.
The analogies you come up with to tell a story with the information are amazing, one day I aspire to be able to the same, in the mean time I'll be working hard on improving all 5 links in my chain ☺️
So much work goes in to these videos. You put a lot of thought in to this and it really shows.
watching the trends, dips and peaks of my current vids and working on those that did well has definitely helped a lot more including even for filming
I’m sure you’ve mentioned this at some point but I would love an honest breakdown of how much time in hours that you spend on each part of your videos: thumbnail, creation, editing, etc - it seems often we are given the final results without actually telling us how HARD it would be - and so we (I) take the advice but don’t get the same results - and I think a key piece is us knowing - just how much time someone like you spends on this…I really think knowing that would help us evaluate our own work honestly.
Same
Sure it is har but it is fun if you make it your hobby instead of a job
I'd love to see the answer as well. Great question.
Same!!
Not to be cynical, but content creators in the "How to Grow UA-cam" niche aren't gonna say that because everyone would be terrified by how much work it is. Would you really want to start a UA-cam channel if someone told you "For each video, I spend 4 hours on the thumbnail, three hours on filming, 9 hours on editing and even before that, the planning and research phase for keywords and topic ideas is about 2-3 hours each week". People would stop watching and stop making channels. Which is bad for UA-cam and bad for these content creators-their channels won't grow. So everyone keeps quiet and lets the myth continue....works for the cc, they get views and subscribers, and works for UA-cam-they get moar content to put ads on.
I would add that different channels will grow at different rates, it is important to keep doing what you enjoy!
Just a few moments in and I've found my next favorite UA-camr! Well done. Very engaging and quality off the charts.
Solid easy to understand video that wasn't crazy long. Thanks!!! I accidentally created a ranked video and my channel got monetized fast...now I have to keep up with it to keep it growing.
Much needed info that I’m definitely putting into play, thank you!!
The trouble with UA-cam today is that there are far too many videos telling you how to succeed and not enough showing you something worth watching. My advice to UA-camr's is do it for fun, make the best video you can and accept you are never going to make a living from it, never allow the algorithm to dictate your video content, do what you enjoy doing.
true
i started youtube about two months ago and im already monetized is that good?
@@flowvr That's good going.
That’s probably the most bullshit advice I heard for a long time. This doesn’t make sense, you CAN have fun and go for views If you choose the right niche
@@flowvr idk if that’s good, I gained 300 subs in 1 week of uploading shorts. But ig that’s a bit different so idk
Avatar research is a new concept for me! Glad I came across this, thank you for the video.
Your videos are always entertaining and packed with so much value! I need to learn to use more b-roll etc like you do!
Another great one, Ed! Every time I watch a video from you something new clicks. I certainly don't have most of the elements in this chain down (at least not all for one video). I spent 9 hours editing a video the other day, hours more of topic research, thumbnail design and choosing a title, and it was a HUGE flop - 7-minute long rant about my experience reading Bridgerton without a thumbnail and super basic title and it did really well. I think the 30 minutes a day advice is really manageable and will help me focus on that side of things more!
Watched your rant - it's challenging to strike the balance between accessible creations & the deeper creations we love to pour our passion into, hey? I know that feeling.
@@jordanthornton Don't know why it took so long for me to notice your reply...! Thanks for checking out the video, and yes, it really is a balance. I'm trying to focus on patience and consistency as the foundations to my being here on UA-cam and hope that, with time, I can improve my skillset to make the things I find interesting, interesting to others also :-)
When I first started my channel, I was skeptical of how difficult it was to continuously push out content Every. Single. Week. I had sleepless nights, the money I spent on filming equipment seemed like a waste, and I overall had no motivation to grow this channel... but I kept focused. Not only did I listen to the feedback, I learnt from my mistakes, focused on a niche and, most importantly, stayed consistent. Now... my channel is thriving more than I ever expected. If I can do it, you can too!
Good luck!
I will try and do that too,but it's not easy to retain a channel especially a Small one .I started feeling weakness for my channel is growing slowly every day.
U got 200 subscribers fam
@@MHHSTATISTICA Yeah I’ve had my channel for two years and I’m still not magnetizable
I’m glad your channel is successful I am not losing hope it’s been a while for me as well
Discovered your videos today and it's really inspiring stuff. I've already started making a list of possible videos i can make on a new channel within the industry I work in.
This video was off the chain... literally.
In all seriousness thank you for making this. Will hopefully help me to refocus and grow.
I'm 3 weeks without posting a long form video for the first time in 5 years. Never took a week off b4. Feels good to take a step back and finally learn about UA-cam. I was making wayyyyy too many videos.
For anyone reading this. Don’t give up and keep working hard and putting effort into your Channel!
You got this and you can do it!
Such a unique comment
❤️❤️
great video, and the chain concept was brilliant! *lots of powerful information in this one.* 👍🏾👍🏾 Thank You 🙏🏾
I've been uploading videos to UA-cam for 16 years ( guitar lessons ). Way back when I first started, I could upload a video and it would get hundreds of thousands of views, without even trying. Now I'm lucky if I get five thousand views on a video, even though the quality of my videos are way way better when I first started. I just don't know what to do any more, lol. You also have to consider that amount of videos that are being uploaded to UA-cam now; about 500 hours per minute, that's a crazy amount! Uploading a single video to UA-cam would be like a drop of water going over Niagara Falls. For every guitar lesson song I upload, there are probably at least a hundred other videos of the same song out there. There's just so much competition now.
I didnt stop growing, because I've never even start to.
I started changing the way I approached End Screens using your methods and my last video has a 20.6% end screen click! My channel average is 1.9%. This works
Another great video!!! Thanks for always putting the quality onto these videos!
Great video mate. Love the way you look at this. Very interesting break down and will take some of these tips with me.
Absolutely LOVE your content. It's really helped me to pinpoint ways to do better content on my channel and make videos more fun and interesting. So when I say this, it's with complete respect. You might want to review this video and check the audio levels between the different sections and mics you were using. The balance was off and there was a lot peaking with the audio even in the VO sections and was turning up and down the volume while listening. Plenty of tip videos on UA-cam for balancing your audio but if you need any tips, not that you'd need any from me but I do video production and editing for a living and have had some great audio guys that have pointed me in the right direction to quick ways to balance everything.
TBH, your videos are always such good quality anyways I'm sure it was probably just a setting that got messed up. LOVE YOUR CONTENT
Being back on UA-cam due to being disable for 10+ years was worth the wait ... I was working on my wedding and event photography self employed. Now I use the skills to do video work due to UA-cam making account with new rule of 4k+ hours. Stay bless
That's awesome bruh asf 🚨🔥
This has been one of the best, most helpful, and most raw videos of this type I have seen. A lot of these points I have begun thinking about and realizing on my own, but watching this has really helped solidify the facts. It’s been fun recently watching my newer videos get more views faster as I build on these techniques… (although my channels current performance is nothing impressive by any means)
Nicely structured, clever, teasing 5 things, then saying you need them all.
The way some channels grow over night with a couple of videos with tons of comment they don't acknowledge, tons of likes and blow passed the much-needed subscribers is incredible to me. I started my channel this year, I think in February I just now reached 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours which took over 20,000 views to accomplish. I think I have posted 25 videos in 8 months and have not posted in over a month and a half because of health issues, I am 70, I will find the time this week to do a few more videos, yesterday I finally created a playlist something I had neglected to do and hope to finish that and than keep those lists up to date. But back to the 1st of my comments and those that become stars overnight.....something smells fishy. Or are they paying youtube to boost their channel??
Great comment, this is very motivational for me who is getting closer to your age group.
Don't stop... Keep Going!💯
Great video! The orange thumbnail is perfect!
Thanks Grahman! Give it a try, it seems go have magic powers!
I’ve tried making music and uploading on yt and it never seemed to go anywhere. Thank you for this video and the content on your channel. I don’t think i can make time to foster growth on my channel right now but i’ll keep what you bring up in mind if i decide to have another go at yt.
Thanks! I got some ideas watching your video, it was a good moment of creativity. Thanks a million for the inspiration
I've been on YT for a good 4 yrs. Even if I read literary works, am a professional voice actor, it is obvious that success depends on your niche, findability and capacity to entertain people with shorter and shorter attention spans. There is only so much to do in certain niches. Cheers.
Yeah, I find myself caught between wanting more viewers but hating the "game" so much, I refuse to make the type of video (refuse to call it content) that does well. I make music but don't want to do memey stuff or talk videos.
OK Beanie Ed for the win... Secondly this is such valuable content as usual! Thank you so much for making your story telling so VISUAL... It really helps me keep focused as I have ADHD... It's SUPER easy for me to get distracted, but you know just how to keep us hooked!
The beanie has stolen the show 😂 ill have to get another, Im glad I can keep you hooked, ADHD is not an easy thing to live with
@@FilmBooth it really isn't... But I'll have you know, an ebay notification popped up and I SWIPED IT AWAY FOR YOU 😂😂😂That's how hooked you kept me! #BeanieForLife

My channel is benefiting so much from your tips. Thank you!!
Help❣️

Yup. Making huge changes to my kids one too. I appear to have spent my last couple of days in UA-cam studio editing out those cliff edge moments long after the upload. That’s a cracking video for anyone who has a channel and hasn’t seen it.
First time ever. Ever. Clicking subscribe immediately after watching one video. Well done boss! Excited to learn more.
I love your videos! I’m really trying to improve my channel and grow, you give me hope and help me understand what I need to do, so thank you!
I had one question, how helpful is a script in a video? I’m unsure how to present it in a way that sounds natural.
Great content as always. I’m taking on board as many of your words of wisdom as quickly as possible as I reinvigorate my kids’ channel. Almost 10k subscribers but after 2 years it’s still growing slowly. Tons of restrictions on Kids channels - thanks to ill thought out laws; no end cards etc., missing certain analytics and even comments have to be disabled. It’s an uphill struggle to find ways to get people to watch follow on content other than encouraging them to do so in each video.
If you have 10K subs you do not need to watch this shite
Really like the 5 step process you talked about. I think it'll help me out a lot! Just a quick question, how do you know what your audience will like when you don't have a big enough or "constant" audience? At that point, is it better to just experiment with ideas?
Thats the first hurdle, getting that audience to then learn from. Search is most peoples method of building that group of people.
@@FilmBooth Thank you so much for replying! And ok, that makes a lot of sense. I'll definitely try to focus more on that! :)
@Avneet 2.0 I also look at similar channels that are doing well but in the same niche as me and see what their audience is saying in the comments. You can get a lot of good ideas that way. Good luck with your channel!
@@cominghomewithsusanne That honestly sounds like a great idea! And thank you so much, good luck with yours too! :)
@@avneet2.0 you're welcome! Happy Saturday! :)
Super helpful, especially the chain analogy! Thank you!
Thanks for the advice pal. Good luck to me and my fellow youtubers.
That is awesome advice! Thank you
I feel like these tips you give out are so incredibly meaningful, yet I feel like there's also a lot of tips I just cant seem to use considering I'm the "generic UA-cam gamer".
There's such a difference in creating "original content" and creating "gaming content" to me, like you'd need to reinvent sliced bread to blink out.
I really wish I knew how to be more creative or funny but honestly I think I'm just gonna be hardstuck😆
Same here I was starting out to do gaming but then I saw literally no growth and I started to become worried and I thought if it was me who was the problem and well yeah...LOL I can confidently say I'm not interesting lol so I'm sort of switching to reactions. I still want to do gaming and what I'll ask myself is this..."what will my viewers gain from watching this" (for example knowledge of some sort of thing of a game, could be just to have a laugh and make the person feel better, etc) "what can I do that is different that I could bring to the game" (bring challenges to the game: Minecraft But i have to....| Call of duty but i can only... I mean just go wild LOL. Just bring something new and fresh especially if your planning to play old games. "What are my competitors NOT doing that I could potentially take advantage of" I'm changing my editing style and adding stock images as I'm explaining what's going to happen in the video because I'm doing the game Wrestling Revolution 3D its old and I was just uploading my gameplay but then I was like no one wants to see this LOL so I decided to switch it up and brought challenges "One Punch = One Spoonful of hot sauce" "WR3D but I have to beat every match under 5 minutes". I'm not having any results because like I said I'm slowly switching to being a reaction but I am planning to do gaming but I am fourtanetly focusing on one reaction category and it is reacting to EDM artists so maybe iIll do something that has to do with music and bring it to WR3D. The advice I gave may or may not help but its at least something :)
yuppers and it’s the sad truth. I mean I have a few other ideas other than gaming, and it’s something I’m actually looking forward to it, I hope it does do well tho. Best of luck my human friends!
Finally someone that I can relate
I'm basically the generic gamer as well😅😅
Fleshing out something different is challenging in gaming
find a game you really like and are naturally good at. then watch other channels in that space, and figure out what information they are not providing, that you could produce. the more specific the better. for example, i make videos about building in Sons of the Forest. this is niche within a niche, and the other youtubers did not have the information i knew i could provide. i don't have the most explosive growth, but i did get 1000 views in the first week, starting from nothing, with almost zero production value
@Solar rpg right time, right game, right info is huge. i feel like my channel hits this sweet spot, even though it's brand new with very low production value
Haha outstanding hook and storytelling!
Thank you for these types of videos. *Keep it up Ed.*
I always look for patterns everyday but when I post, it’s my own stuff! I know I can’t do some things due to other things but I do see my channel growing in the future!
Thanks for posting these creative ways to explain such simple concepts. It's very helpful! As for original content (and not the most amazing production quality) being successful... I think it's still possible, it's just like he says in the video, find out how to present the stuff people want to see or "trending" idea but relevant to your content. Idk how to explain that better. Anyway, thanks for giving THIS girl inspiration to grow her channel! 😉
The amount of scene changes you have is insane. You're vids do the best Ed because you put the most time into each.
I love the fact that this vid is popping and it's "only" 5 mins long.
What video editing software allows you to do those seamless scene changes? And is it available for Android or PC?
I just realized YOU also used the orange jump suit...and it worked haha Great video! Thanks for the tips
Love your editing! Well done.
Ed (and the comment section), I’ve been thinking about restarting my channel fresh. I do nba content and at this point I think I’ve learned a lot to grow it. I’m planning on rebranding my channel and starting over with a channel trailer and fresh and now QUALITY content unlike before. I hope to hear if you would think this is the right move.
6 months later: I did the switch and gained 450+ subs 😁
Oi vey this video is so good. Thank you for creating content that doesn't regurgitate talking points on YT that mean nothing and aren't reality. I see people making the same mistakes you outlined time and time again. Figure out your audience, do your homework and execute. Stop worrying about frivolous details. Stop thinking you need to post every 7 days. The answers to the test are already on the platform, you just need to go out and find them. This is without a doubt the most value-add channel in the niche...and it's not very close.
I dont really comment on your videos but I have really enjoyed your channel and watching you grow a lot in the past 6 - 8 months.
yeah hell with that. If I have something to post, I'll post it. If not, I don't. Even if a month, 2 months go by without posting something. I don't post just because someone says you need to post regularly. If I don't have something to add, I don't.
I don't know how you managed to explain all of that in 5 min!! But you did...great video!
MANY THANKS to Film Booth for this Video. Always HAPPY to learn new approaches and share on my NEW CHANNEL!!! 🙏😍💥
All of us want to find ways to improve ourselves. Always try to find the hidden secrets and surprise other UA-camrs. This is a great vid to learn from and understand the fundamentals of what needs to be done. I feel we need to slow down and think it through. It’s almost like fast brain / slow brain. I don’t do this full time but I’m learning. To me it feels like a science class lol. Great vid and good luck to all of you! 😎
Entirely valid points that will definitely help any channel where the main objective is to grow audience and potentially ad revenue. In other words it is great marketing advice. The problem is when marketing advice informs creative decisions. We've seen this before in TV and movies find something that has worked and flog it to death.
Perhaps the best advice is to find the FIRST person that came up with, to use your example, the orange jump suit and work out how they came up with that idea rather than copy it in some way. My guess is that they had a large enough audience or just didn't care about audience and did what they felt was a good idea.
Well said.💯
Great video!
I still want to do the fun youtube stuff first before getting so caught up with the planning stage, and get stuck in devhell, but great stuff nonetheless!
This is solid! Thanks for sharing amazing information each and every time!
