I help people over 40 start and succeed with their own TH-cam channels.
Hey there! I'm Rob from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada... a proud "Maritimer"! I make videos that help people get into TH-cam and be successful with it. I help with overcoming anxiety while talking to a camera, what equipment to use (cameras, mics, lights, etc), editing your own videos, and growing your channel into either a successful business or a hobby you love!
I also host a weekly live stream where anyone can tune in for a dose of motivation, have your questions answered, and even watch as I edit videos or make thumbnails for my videos.
Thank you for stopping by, and I wish you all the success you can handle!!
Cheers :-)

Youtube is changing lives EVERY DAY! (Here's How)
TH-cam has completely changed the way we consume content and our lives will never be the same. In this video, I take a look back at how technology evolved from the days of scheduled TV to the on-demand world of Netflix and TH-cam, and why this shift creates incredible opportunities for all of us.

awesome advice!
So frustrating...I have a personal TH-cam channel. I need 2 new TH-cam channels. One for my website and one for my other idea. Why do all TH-camrs cover only personal TH-cam accounts. No brand or business accounts??? My website was done in php and javascript. Yet my programmer and I can't figure out TH-cam. Insaine! So frustrated. Spent entire day now I have 3 new Google accounts and still no plan.... Java script is a walk in the park compared to this. Is it so, you can't open a brand account until you qualify??
If you want a brand account then you have to select business, not personal. you can then create as many channels under your one youtube account as you like.
💚🍀✨💫 And I love your hat, your daughter did a great job 🧶
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow 🤯🤯🤯😅😅😅
Great info 👍👍👍💞
Her and Dude don't at london act the Same
Her content has been stale for ages all she does is clickbait her subscribers she should have stuck to door dash videos or found a niche. Lol you didn’t buy that $19 scam
💎 awesome talk! Thank you both so much! 🙏💜
Glad you enjoyed it!
But how do i change the visibility setting for each individual uploaded video? It seems that you can only change it overall for all videos uploaded..
Regardless of what you set as the default, you'll always be able to set the visibility setting for each individual video as you upload it. You can also change the visibility of individual videos from the Content section. I made a video on how to upload a video that shows this: th-cam.com/video/rbn0DAGclBw/w-d-xo.html
@@RobtheMaritimer Thanks a lot.
💘love the cat
Great video and the part about leaving a legacy is where I'm at with my videos. Keep going with your positivity really like your content👍
Thank you so much! Good luck with your videos and enjoy :-)
Haven't watched regular TV in decades. Films and series are streamed and everything else, like documentaries or talk shows, informative shows... All on TH-cam. Always inspiring to watch, Rob. Keep it up. 😊
I think a lot of people are doing this these days... myself included :-)
FIRST OFF, I AM NOT YELLING, LOL, I AM A FEW YEARS OLDER THAN YOU AND I HAVE MS IT AFFECTS MY EYESIGHT. I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU ALL ALONG YOUR POINTS AND STORIES. I HAVE TO ASK, HOW THE HECK DID YOU HAVE 3 CHANNELS, LOL? I AM IN PEI AND I SWEAR WE ONLY HAD 2, OBVIOUSLY, I MISSED OUT ON SOMETHING GROWING UP. OH HOW I WISH WE COULD GO BACK AND APPRECIATE IT MORE THAN I EVER DID. ON A CLEAR DAY I CAN SEE CAPE BRETON FROM MY END OF THE ISLAND...
Our 3 channels were CTV, CBC and CBC-French... so I guess only two English channels... but I often watched the French channel for hockey games ;-)
@@RobtheMaritimer OOPS, I FORGOT ABOUT THE FRENCH STATION, LOL. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE MAGDALEN ISLAND FERRY OUT MY WINDOW FOR MOST OF MY LIFE AND OFTEN WANTED TO VISIT BUT FRENCH IS NOT EVEN MY SECOND LANGUAGE. I CANNOT GET MUCH FARTHER THAN HELLO, HOW ARE YOU...
Be kind, rewind.
Rob this is an awesome tutorial. After seeing what Canva can do, I made the decision to purchase the full version. I find it very user friendly. I appreciate you showing everyone how you use it step by step!
That's great! It's been one of my most used programs for the last 5+ years... I use it everyday and would be lost without it :-)
hey bro what camera are you using in this video
I used an iPhone 16 Pro Max, recording in 4K 30 fps.
I completely agree, growing subscribers and likes can be tough. I began this journey as a weekend hobby, prioritising content creation and audience engagement. Through trial and error, I've learned valuable lessons. For me, the biggest challenge remains editing - choosing the right software and music can be overwhelming. Personally, I prefer to work behind the scenes for now, rather than being in front of the camera. I actually started this project as a therapeutic outlet after experiencing the devastating loss of my son and father within a span of just three months - it's helped me cope and take my mind off things.
Diving into a hobby like TH-cam can definitely be therapeutic. Enjoy and best of luck with it :-)
It’s definitely a Amazing time we are living in, I think I watch TH-cam on my tv, probably 70% 30% all the other tv. I have just started a TH-cam channel 2weeks ago only two videos so far, I’m only going to post once a week, I’m loving it so far, not much happening yet, but I’m ok with it, I’m trusting the process, thanks for all your advice, I’m a subscriber👍
It is amazing for sure! Good luck with your channel and keep having fun with it! Thanks for subscribing :-)
Cool I agree with your advices. As someone with 91 videos starting waaaay back in like '07, I can basically tell new TH-camrs what not to do 🤣.
Thanks for this. I am a tiny channel but I think I agree :)
Appreciate the candor man , great content , well explained , very elaborate and eloquently spoken. I had a YT channel with 9K subs approximately and it was banned or terminated , suspended for good , w/e they call it & all b/c ppl who knew me wanted to report something that wasn’t even true , I couldn’t believe it so I’m using my backup channel for my cat 🐈 Buddy and my newborn baby 👶🏼 Bubba , what I do is make sure they don’t do that again! Just trust this guy everybody
Good luck with your channel :-)
Thank you 🙏 very much Rob same to you! I’m also over 40 and been doin this for years , can’t give up! ⬆️ @willtherapcat
I learned🤫
Thank you so much. Appreciate you helping us navigate making a channel!
Happy to help!
I'm curious. Do you have to change all the settings if you need to take a photo?
If you have your settings the way I do then it's easy to switch back and forth between video and photo modes without having to change all your settings again.
I personally can't stand long intros. Especially long and "fancy" intros on news channels. It's just wasting my time. But that's me. Maybe some like it?
I think they are slowly going away. It's a good thing to do for branding, but there's no need for them to be long anymore :-)
Que vídeo incrível! Some tudo o que você nos ensinou, todos os avanços, ao fato de que eu assisti seu vídeo, originalmente gravado em inglês, na minha língua, o português. Se o TH-cam disponibilizar a dublagem para todos, em breve as barreiras linguísticas para o entretenimento serão muito menores. Obrigado! Esse conteúdo tem muito valor! ☺️ me inscreverei.
I love TH-cam's new automatic dubbing! So glad you found it useful :-)
I don't mind the rambling 😂! You provided a lot of value in this video. Thanks ❤🎉😊!
Thank you :-)
Great, as always! Thank YOU!
My pleasure, thanks for watching :-)
Thanks bro Good advice
I love your videos. I'm older than you and you took me down memory lane today. And you even added some ideas for a video I'm working on about how tech has made life for expats so much easier. Thanks for your thoughts.
Sounds like an interesting video to make! Good luck with it :-)
The nice thing about TH-camrs watching TH-camrs is we try and watch the video until the end...at least I do.
I appreciate that, thank you :-)
That's a nice hat! 👍 Why did I think you were in the United States!
Thanks! Lol! I'm not sure... but I do know most of the people who watch my videos are in the US :-) But I'm 100% Canadian lol
@@RobtheMaritimerCanada is so pretty! A lot of shows I watch are filmed in Vancouver.
guys is fine!!!
I really appreciate this thoughtful video.
I just started my channel 2 weeks ago posting everyday exploring! Thanks so much for your inspiration and advice! You’re awesome!
That's great! Good luck and have fun with it :-)
@ thanks so much friend!
youtube is what i watch instead of TV. feels so much more interactive and personal!
I remember when Netflix SENT you DVDs. It didn’t start as online streaming until a little later…If I remember correctly, that was somewhere in the mid 2000s.
new subscriber here, 66 yo! Thank you for your interesting content!
Oh yes I forgot about that!! I didn't become a Netflix subscriber until after they moved online. It's hard to believe they were able to make such a pivot and be successful with it! Too bad Blockbuster didn't do the same thing ;)
I’ve watched your whole video because I know it Best for you
Thank you I hope you enjoyed it too :-)
Great video! I loved the walk down memory lane with all of the things we had in the 70s and 80s that no one today could even understand if they were not living it. You make great points as usual thank you for all of your insight.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)
This is a great stuff. I am going to start a new channel geared towards older generations, including me, in Japan. Thanks for the tips.
Good luck to you and have fun with it! :-)
Those icicles are amazing. We are boiling hot here in the north of NZ at the moment...phew. Another great video, thanks Rob. You're very inspiring. I'm also mid-50's and am having success with my own content creation. It's an exciting time for content creators, especially the "older"among us. I believe that we have the experience and authenticity that many younger people don't have, and what is missing in social media. We also have more patience, I think. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme by any means but slow and steady wind the race :-) Waving from Auckland NZ (love Canada!) ☀❄
Very well said! Good luck to you and enjoy the heat in NZ!! :-)
I am also a new creator and am hopeful. Thank you for the inspiration.
Good luck to you!
I also started last week and am obsessed with likes and views. I will br patient.
Good luck with your channel!
Great video as always! When you were mentioning blockbuster, and when cable tv just started, damn I’m old!!😂😂 I’m 59 and one of these days I’ll start my very first video! Love the hat!
I remember it like it was yesterday lol!
Another great video Rob! Keeping it going!
Your followers will be those who identify with you and like the content on your channel.
100% correct :-)
❤❤❤😊 wow!
I'm 64, I look 74, I feel 24. Thank you, Rob. I want to be like you sooner than later. 2025. Who's watching with me?
Good luck to you :-)
@RobtheMaritimer Thank you, Rob. 🇨🇦 🍁
Another sweet video Rob. All great points you make about technology. I’m not far behind you age-wise and I couldn’t agree more about the progress we’ve witnessed. But the real reason I always stick around to the end of your videos is down to how you come across. I’m always thinking: “Now, this is a dude I could have a beer and a proper chat with.” All credit to you for being so real and authentic, brother. May your channel go from strength to strength. Big shout from the UK. 🙌
Thank you so much for the kind words :-)
