    Being a UA-camr is like running a business, you always need to give your viewers what they want. You can't become complacent at any moment. At the end of the day, toughest part is definitely starting your channel and growing it up to the point you become successful (and honestly if I haven't used a lot of Famester, I would have quit a long time ago. It was a proper life-changing experience for me, and once you become successful it is a great tool to control algorithm).

    I must admit, I zoned out during parts of this video. Not because it wasn't actually useful, common-sense information, but because the constant scene changes were even more engaging! It wasn't over edited, or flashy - just simple, straight forward audience engagement. Forget all of the "how to grow on youtube" gurus, this right here is how it should be done. You sir, have just earned yourself a thumbs up. Well done!

    The edits on this are so good! great job switching up the film angles too it was nice to have the changing background.

    If I'm going to view a review of a camera I click on genuine one ... not sponsored one, so your Peter McKinnon example is invalid. Lately tons of people reach to smaller creators for the reviews, because small creators usually pay with their own money for the product so their reviews are more genuine.

  • @saxophonicmusician

    You are correct, there are so many videos that talk about the same thing (weather new camera, phone, microphone ect) that most of them all talk about specs which gets repetitive to watch as a viewer or they have the same style year after year, plus all this fast pace content is making our attention span worse over time. Very good video! I enjoyed your advice!

    Great content. I've tried scripting over and over again and my videos come out nearly unusable every single time. It causes me to go super robotic, screw up constantly, and the process becomes an absolute nightmare. For me, I've found that very short bullet points to make sure I cover all the topics, combined with just speaking like I'd be speaking to a friend using the knowledge in my head is the only way I can make videos. It takes me out of the robotic presenter mode, relaxes me, and allows me to speak from the heart.
