What do you think the most useful tip out of these was? Are you going to try any of them?
Honestly I think your basically YODA - so all of em :D :D
Would a TH-cam diary be a cool idea ?
B-Rolls and the fact that Audio and Lighting are more important than Video. Great video, as always Harris.
I will try all of them and see which one i like the most since i am not the best at videos
I think this question depends on where you are in your journey. For me right now, working on clickable titles. I want to thank you Harris for your consistently amazing content. I'm happy I get to learn from you. You are the best! ❤
The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the 2nd best time is now
Yes!! Starting today is what matters! ✅
@@luisterrust great advice for all aspects of life
Wow
That's a beautiful way to say it bruh.

I've learned a lot from this guy. I've grown over 100k subscribers in just a little over a year. Did it with my Note 8, a c922, a gopro and a Yeti mic.
ArcticZombie follow his editor Sam! He goes more in depth on that kind of stuff!
such a w
GREAT VIDEO! THANKS!
@@ArcticZombie I make great thumbnails imo in photoshop
ayyo Note 8 Gang
Why am I watching this 7 years after making my first video lmao
Always room to grow right?
He used a clickable title
i just started !:D
@@tomferenc2520 you got a sub
@@tomferenc2520 me too lol

In a 100 years, people will be like: Wow, how can I recreate glitches like this to make my video look old school?
To people wondering, the glitch when used artistically is called datamoshing and it's possible to create on purpose already. Very cool visuals come out of it! Search for 'compression artifact' if you want to know more about the specifics :) I also know a small youtube channel that used this in one of their videos
@@alexanderteodorescuromanat7126 I did not know it was called that. Learned something new today :) Thanks!
Who hope that Harris makes more videos like this? It really helps...
I'm making my first TH-cam video this week. It's like he read my mind.
@@jeffowens347 gooood luck dude on your new advanture, it is fun 😁
@@ACOnetwork Thank you!
@@jeffowens347 No problem :D and I subbed and waiting, what ever you will post :D.
Just remember to go ahead, what ever you will do, just go ahead. You may be discuraged, when you do not grow as "fast" as you think, this takes alot of work. For example I do videos, because I love helping others with stuff and I enjoy. Sadly because of my health I do not have posibillity to make as much as I want, but I still PUSH IT AHEAD. I hope you and everyone else succed what ever you do in life, not only TH-cam :D. Peace
@@ACOnetwork That warms my heart. You didn't have to help me, but you did, and that says a lot about your character. I'll take your advice and keep creating, even if I don't feel like I'm ready. I have to be willing to make mistakes.
Take care and stay safe.
I think "don't hesitate" is some of the best advice here. I hesitated for quite some time and just recently uploaded my first gaming vid. It's definitely not perfect, but I am happy to have started, even with my 2 subs. But that's 2 more than I've had for the past few months of not posting.
Much respect, just hold on! I subscribed! :D
Ayy two subs gang here
Just subbed! Good luck!
Definitely don't even think about and just do it! I didn't even plan on ever making youtube videos when I started uploading gaming stuff to my channel ... It started out with streaming on here because I just liked to capture the memories in game with my friends and have them back to look on one day
Hesitate ... hmmm ... I remember, when I watched YT videos one day and idea of making videos came up. Week passed, should I start or not, and I started preparing stuff for making the videos even while I was unsure about it. After few years, even that I am not doing good here, I am happy I started, because I love it :D.
That's awesome! I love your teachings and your videos! So helpful!!
I’ve started trying to get more in to TH-cam and making videos. I was thinking about streaming, and honestly the lighting and audio tips help so much. Hearing all these tips makes me feel like I can actually do it. Thank you so much!
I look forward to your videos. You and Sam are an amazing 1-2 punch of “all things streaming”.
I’m in awe of Alpha Gaming’s mission in the industry. TEAM RAMROD!!!
Didn't want this video to end. Absolutely great advice. I'd love to see more like this...I'm sure you have discovered even more since this came out. Especially with the rebranding/transition to senpai. Thanks, Harris, for all you do. Seriously, your channel is a big part of my work life as a content creator.
It was about 2 months between my very first video and my third, when I finally stopped hesitating and decided to dive into creating TH-cam videos! Don't let that hesitation stop you, keep pushing y'all.
Appreciate all of your advice Harris - helping me get a little bit better each and every day.
Thank you. I’ve incorporated everything you guys have mentioned in most of your videos and it’s paying off. From creating TH-cam content to finding my voice to 1 video a week. - it works. I’d also add “stay as niche as you possibly can until you outgrow your niche.” I can’t say thank you enough. ☮️❤️ and 🚀
I’m not sick of hearing it, I’m sick of hearing it and not doing anything about it .😂😂
Peter Durocher Ah, a man of brutal honesty, like myself!
Ahaha..ha....ha....... same
Complainers mannn
GamingIndominus 😃
GamingIndominus lets go
Fully agree. Great video as always Harris and it’s so true! My first few months on my gaming channel was just experimenting. Now I love making gaming cinematics. You never know until you truly commit and let go of that fear
You got me on that hesitation... That's been the biggest problem! Self doubt and procrastination is a personal demon of mine. Thanks for keeping it real Harris! This has me motivated!
"Don't hesitate" Is the best advice for me in this video. I have been putting it off for months when I really wanted to do it. Yesterday I finally made my first video due to watching this so thank you! The process was fun even if results don't come with it! :)
"HESITATION"
is exactly what I needed to hear. You really opened my mind. I promise to start making videos on youtube. THANK YOU SO MUCH HARRY
Rally enjoying your videos, The B Roll idea is a brilliant thing I want to integrate into future videos. Thanks Harris
Love the video and especially the last tip where you shared your journey ! Just what I needed ! Thanks 🙏
I love how easy you make things for a novice like myself. Cheers man keep up the amazing work 👍🏻💯
What are your thoughts on youtube punishing content creators who advertise their Twitch stream on youtube? It makes sense since TH-cam doesn't want people to leave their website for a competitor.
I don't know how much it affects and I could be wrong but ever since I started promoting my Twitch on youtube regularly, I've seen an insane drop in traffic on youtube.
If this is true that's messed up
@@WoAMortis oh yeah dude it’s true I got a strike yesterday for it
I surely know this is true for instagram. There is a reason you cant link videos anywhere and if links in your bio get clicked very often, you will get kind of a softban, where people cant find you anywhere.
@@yannikbaltes3552 yikes!
I really hope this isnt true, let's see if alpha answers this
This is great man, thank you for doing this. You packed a ton of great info into a short amount of time but also presented it in a way that's easy to understand. Kudos to you!
Wonderful tips. Thank you for sharing the raw footage of your beginnings... it really sparks a sense of hope and call to action.
Sam vs Alfa boxing match that’s what I want to see
Edit: ON WII BOXING
Na make it a celeb death mat h claymation fight even better.
Lol😂😂😂😂😂
Yess.... That will be fun
I hate the motion controls mann
GamingIndominus what
"It doesn't mean they were failures. I needed them in order to know what I want."
That's a great and very inspiring phrase!
This is probably the best video I have watched on how to get started on youtube, I dont watch anything gaming related and I just discovered your channel but damn so much good stuff in a 12 min video! Thank you buddy! Subbed!
First time viewer and wow, i can't believe I didn't discover your channel sooner! Video was packed full of value and I appreciate how well spoken you were! Subbed with no hesitation
Some really sound advice here. We are currently on that 'Click that upload button' stage and have enjoyed and learnt so much from every upload, we even have a fan! Incorporating TH-cam/Twitch is a little daunting but as you say hesitation can become a huge barrier to taking your first step. The psychology behind video titles was really interesting. I hope people can take these ideas and really build communities and reach their goals!
Yeah, Aplha always drops those gems when it comes to content creation. Your videos are quality btw, love the channel
Looks like things have gone well for you going from Click that upload button to 2k subs in a year!
Haircut looks great
Thanks for the information!! Best advice. Just start creating...
Dude, you're my hero right now. I'm slowly trying to build my youtube and twitch channel for the last few months outside of work. Gonna push extra hard now!
"Less than one percent of this audience has actually started making youtube videos" I started because of your advice. Not just in the context to make it on twitch, but the idea of setting myself up, not hesitating and not only trying ONE thing like twitch or youtube. I have twitch, gaming videos on here, in the midst of setting up another channel for cooking as well. (another passion of mine). I owe a lot of the inspiration to start this to a friend but a lot of the advice and knowledge I have gained has come from your videos. Just wanted to say thankyou for making these, what you're doing is unreal.
Woo!!!
@GamingIndominus I just started 2 weeks ago I'm not sure I can help anybody. 😅 I'm so new. But if there's anything, sure, hahah.
If my line of work thought me anything... It is that hard work will eventually pay off. I know its cliché, but it just works. I hope I stay consistent with my videos and one day get noticed. Deam big friend. And good luck.
I am not a streamer, but this video is great for regular TH-camrs as well! Very inspiring to keep being consistent and pivoting!
And I'll be sending it to my partner, who is starting to stream and needs to start his TH-cam channel x)
Man the quality of your vids: audio, light and image are great. Content is also different from other growth channels out there! Much appreciated!
This video is great, thank you so much. I can definitely see the true value behind the audio at this point. Keep doing you brotha
Hey Harris. Your tips have helped me get to 6K subscribers in a few months. Thank you so much and stay well buddy!
Ah yes those tips, there's so many of them though, which ones?
10:10 Hes so right guys. You just have to start. My first videos were so bad but i just kept going and trying new things and now I'm only kinda bad. To be honest only a couple people ever really see your first videos so dont be afraid to just go for it. "How To" video will naturally get a little more views but as long as youre quick to the point and you speak clearly youll do good in that.
Thanks for the point of view
This was actually the first REAL helpful video I’ve seen so far overall with the examples to hearing “audio and lighting” is more important never actually understood that 🤷♂️ thank you!
Bro I'm new at the whole content creator scene but I love the positive outlook and no BS you talk about in your vids. Very informal. Even if these are a few yrs old. I appreciate the posts and hope to apply them being a 40yr old that has a ton of time on his hands when I'm not taking care of my son. Glad there are a few of you honest guys out there. Thanks again.
hey Harris! recommended cameras for guitar/bass/piano video recordings? need to step up my video quality :((
main problem is when I play fast passages or when I want to zoom in. Sometimes it seems like I'm in playback mode lol (currently using my phone as my camera)
thanks!!
The hardest thing for a smaal creator is waking up in the morning and see that nothing has changed😏😜
Fax
Yes
Just waking up in general
Very Handy tips. Will definitely implement these alongside everything else you have advised on your channel and streams!
This video is the best video on this subject! So many others have fluffed their way through the same thing but this one hit the hardest. Nice one, mate!
0:25 It would be funnier if with the voice line you'd have a dedicated clip with a transition xD
Hello from the less than 1% row.
The hesitation was the biggest initial hurdle for me. After I had decided on the topic for my first TH-cam video, it took me almost 3 days to finally quit hesitating and just hit record.
I promise you, the first time is the hardest one. After that, its gets easier and easier, to the point that you'll think nothing of just hitting record like I do now.
The music that you produce is so amazing! I really enjoy the lofi soundtrack and plan on using them in my videos that I will be creating so thank you in advance!
during lockdown i have been considering doing some streaming and content release but havent found the confidence to add my face to a web cam am an older guy that likes gaming but watching harris and his content tips and trick gave me the push to release my first video with my pro clubs team to test how it would do done this yestarday and would like to personally thank him knowing i will grow in confidence so thank you soo much harris mate i will continue to watch and learn
"Smash that like button if you're hesitating RIGHT NOW instead of making a video. Yeah, that's what I thought." 🤣
Harris, why did you decide to shoot this video in this ratio & fps?
The ratio is the cinema type ratio. Not sure why the fps
probably 30 fps :)
You're commenting, aren't you?
Your content is on point. I for one really appreciate your approach to content creation!!!
2nd video I’ve watched of yours. 2nd video I’ve watched till the end. Subscribed. I appreciate your value. Looking forward to watching more!
I would totally get a Elgato mic but they’ve been sold out for two weeks
@GamingIndominus I'm listening
What are you thoughts on beginners streaming on TH-cam? Would you recommend it? Why or why not?
I think he said it’s easier because the algorithm is better. Otherwise the same applies because if you have even a small audience on a different platform or encourage friends and family you can bring them to your TH-cam stream and it would grow like that too.
I've been streaming on TH-cam for a little while and I have been back and forth on Twitch and TH-cam. Personally for monetization Twitch is better but for discoverability, TH-cam is the way to go if you're wanting to grow your audience.
I'll tell you after a while lol.
I really enjoyed this style of video Harris! Yeah I definitely agree that audio is the most important and it's also one of the hardest things to get right being new. Thank you for the tips. I would love to see more styles of video like this.
Dude i love your philosofy on sharing what have taken you sweat, tears and hard work to learn with us. For that thanks
I tried to get in touch with you on twitter last week as i'd love to ask you advice directly some time about growing my twitch (it's unique situation) - I think you were going through a rough time though, so I apologise I tried to get in touch with you you at a bad time and hope you're feeling better (i know "on video" isn't the same as how you're actually feeling). I know you're incredibly busy and i have no problem discussing a consultation fee. My discord is Volgun#0049
Okay but why do you think he would reply
@@Kelalasdemonx no idea
@@Kelalasdemonx Because he's TheVolgun
i did not expect to see you down here...anyways you'll probs not read it, but your contents awesome and really got me into SCP
@@lexecomplexe4083 so a nobody
Michael Reeves is the best case of taking a large audience from a more discoverable platform to grow a streaming channel
Thanks for this Harris and Sam. All these videos are super helpful
I just rebuilt a system from ground zero. I had idea on how to set up my A/V and those ideas were completely blown out of the water by your tips and equipment suggestions. THANK YOU for making me start off solid.
9:06 as you can see ladies and gentlemen we got a glitch.
Yeah, I actually laughed at this couple of frames since he just says that an iPhone will do. The audio is alright, the lighting is okay and then this. Imagine watching a video full of these glitches. Also, how did that even slip through post-production?
GamingIndominus how
GamingIndominus ok
Looked like zombie Harris lol
@GamingIndominus Well, I don't see why not :)
"don't hesitate" so true. i started posting on yt in like 2012, making really REALLY bad cringey weeb content. I amassed about 20k subs within 6 months, as i was consistantly posting. the stuff i was posting wasn't the best it could have been. but it was out there- so people could see it.
then the amount of subs i had got to my brain- i started posting less and less because i was worried about making really quality content as opposed to content i found fun to make. i went from posting 4-5 times a month to 2-3 times a year. i lost pretty much 100% of my audience because i started hesitating SO much. i constantly make the joke that i'm always working on youtube- for every video i post, there's 10 that i filmed and edited and didn't put up because i hesitated on their quality. i wish your advice was around when i was 15 making youtube videos in my bedroom. lol
Sean Cannel from Think Media always says punch fear in the face. As someone who should and could have started streaming and making TH-cam content years ago, but was too self conscious, I feel this.
You can do it! Just crank that content out.
Mate,been watching you for a few months as lately started doing some videos about cars and now I'm thinking to try gaming and hardware as well ,must say that hesitation was my biggest problem so far,but ...watching you gave me confidence,thank you for all this good content .
Excellent video. Your point on it takes a while to find your voice is something I have heard Stand Up Comics say. It takes years to develop your skills. But the clock does not start until you start.
I was about to leave but then my attention span got called out so ... yeah... here we are.
I would love to get a wave 3 but they are sold out everywhere unless you want to pay 350 on ebay. Sucks
Buy blue yeti x
Maaan! I just found about you yesterday. And I can say, you illuminated me on what I was looking for! You already gained I suscriptor here and on Twitch. Thank you!
At last! The video I've been asking for! Thx Harris! Make more of these!
“Your wallet will thank you, and so will your audience” -AlphaGaming 🤣🤣👌🏽
Why would Elgato give you a sponsor because they are ALWAYS OUT OF STOCK. I been waiting for the time to get THAT MICROPHONE BUT IT IS NEVER AVAILABLE!!!
Get a decent dynamic xlr mic + external sound card for same amount of money.
You can thanks me later.
EVERYTHING audio is put of stock dude... I was waiting on a cheaper USB audio interface but had to just say screw it and got the Focusrite and I don't really regret it.
Thanks a lot for these pointers, I'll try to slowly learn as I publish more
I've been following Harris for well over a year now, and he is one of my main inspirations to turn around my channel and take it to the next level.
Thank you.
‘No one goes viral on their first video’
*dream has entered the chat*
What a great video - especially appreciated the tips on good titles! Can I ask what lens you film your talking head portions with?
Man you hit the nail on the hammer about audio. Totally wouldn't have guessed it. That's something I gotta work on.
Love u man. The last 3 minutes of the video are awesome, great motivation
I gag when I watch my own videos but I'm going for it with your advice, It's been a dream forever and I'm proud to say I thought about TH-cam along with Twitch before I started watching you. Your advice is amazing and I'll be here for the long run, Thanks!
I've worked on Film and Television for 10 years and I still got something out of this Video. Thanks Harris you're a God using men. I've tried streaming, TH-cam videos, podcasts etc over the years haven't found something that sticks yet. I'm looking to start a new channel here on my playing PS games for the first time as I just bought my first Playstation last week.
That hesitation bit hit real hard, I obsessed so much over my setup and quality I never thought anything was good enough, then I went live, edited a highlight reel and slammed a thumbnail on and the relief was epic
Harris, your video is too good!! After creating initial ten videos, I saw your fantastically superb video to learn how to make a great video. Great tips!! Best wishes to your endeavors!!
i've been doing youtube videos and streams for a decent amount of time now and I have been watchin your videos on how to grow my channel for alot og my journey. I still come back often and watch alot of them over once i feel like I've gotten one thing down, i work on another. it helps me a lot. i thank you for all that you do helping people out with videos like this one.
Just getting into streaming. Super thankful I found your videos!
Honestly your videos have given me the motivation to just put something out there. I know I need to improve... but I also now realise that i'm only going to do that by working at it. The hesitation is honestly the biggest killer here!
Thanks Harris! Keep it up much appreciated for all your content!!
This is all great advice. My first 10 videos were shot on my phone. Money was invested into a solid mic and cheap $40 key lights. Still have not perfected the lighting and audio filters, but it improves with every video. I still don’t have my own camera, I finally borrowed a friends DSLR just until I can afford my own. Thanks for another great discussion and video tips! Happy content creating!
It’s definitely Hesitation for me fam! And I’m glad you said it takes “dozens of ideas before you get an idea of what to make!” Thanks man! 💯💯💯
I'm happy for you man
You started youtube and now I would like to think that you are happy and achieved some of you dreams
Awesome video man. Really helpful advice and motivation
I really like the tip given wrt Audio/Lighting - defo agree (and I need to work on this ...). And also talking about Hesitation. I was reluctant before I made my channel and recently became hesitant again. But the advice and reminder given has put a smile on my face. Thank you!
Always great to watch your videos. I really have to work on my light. I use a Yeti mic which might be fine for now. But it isn't tuned. At least I got rid of my keyboard and mouse clicking sounds while gaming. But it could sound a lot better.
Thank you for this information! Learned a lot and am excited to put it into practice!
My go to videos whenever I need help with my stream. Appreciate the videos!
The only honest info out there. Learned a bunch from these videos. Keep up the good work!
I've been postponing making stuff for 10 years now cause of my bad self image. I think you do amazing work in helping people by just giving basic tips we don't really just get. I've finally started streaming after years of therapy (I am posting this on an old alt account) and will definitely start making highlights and other youtube videos once I get better equipment ( I dont have lights currently and my headset mic is just plain terrible)
Thank you, you handsome man
Ive spent hours researching tips and tricks before starting, i think anyone who really puts in the work will be rewarded. Keep it up!
Found you thru recommended. Your content is ace. So helpful. Thanks.
Great tips Brother! First time I watch your content and just knew I had to sub! Looking forward to apply your tips :)
thank you man I love your content and you helped me found out what to do I've watched a lot of your videos for help.
Just wanted to thank you. You're just really encouraging to listen to. I feel ten times more confident just hearing your insights. Thanks, man.
Hey I appreciate your advice. Its worth its weight in gold. I have taken all of the things that I've seen so far from the videos and have applied it in my personal journey. From my sponsorship pick ups which is 4 right now, to my video equipment, that I'm building on, all the way to lighting and software. You are helping people and it is working. You should do a segment where people have done a before and after of the advice they have taken from you and show where they are currently with the advice in motion. Thank you so much. I have subbed and have shared. Thanks again.
