I told this story before but I had my channel reviewed by Dan and them when I had 500-600 subs I forgot the exact number. Literally almost a year ago to this date. The advice they told me was to get better at storytelling because everything else was super unique compared to other channels. I took the advice and instead of making random funny gaming animations I changed it to funny longer animations with a written story instead. That advice got me 350K subs 12 months later right now. Full Time TH-camr now and just a year ago i was unemployed coming off a job washing dishes in a supermarket. Don't matter age or anything, anyone can make it.
I watched your recent video "The COMPLETE Doors Series... (Animation)" and within 20 seconds of watching it, I was Hooked by that 0001 Door, wanting to know what the hell is behind that door, and I'm not a special fan of roblox animations. This must mean you've got that down. Props to you!
This video got me so emotional and motivated. I'm 41, mom of 3, full time job and decided to persue this. It can be overwhelming at times , but 2 months later 225 subscribers, learning a lot and loving it ❤. I truly appreciate your content.
Love, love, LOVE this. You kept my attention the WHOLE TIME! The editing combined with the story telling was AWESOME 🙌🏽🙌🏽. Well done and I can see why Travis and VidIQ hired you🎉
@@HeyJohnScott did you give up on youtube? You quit uploading and your last uploads got only a few hundred views. Do you have a third channel you're focusing on?
@@chadwickerman I have been focused on making thumbnails and videos for a channel called VidIQ. 😁I have something in the works for my personal channel and social media soon though.
Probably the way it was put together, the editing. There are frequent sound effects, frame changes and music changes, video basically has adhd. It is difficult to maintain such energy over a long video, also people, who watch adhd videos, may not necessarily be able to stick throguh something longer and less energetic.
This really spoke to me because most people giving TH-cam advice are people who have only grown a following by saying they can help you grow a following or from old TH-camrs who are disconnected from how it is growing a channel recently. I have 13 years of learning TH-cam and spent thousand of dollars on courses from people like Sean cannell and I’m still not able to go full time on TH-cam
Dang, thank you for this. Currently homeless, documenting my journey as I go along, working pretty much full time to become a monetized youtuber. You guys might see me in the algorithm one day;) thank you for this 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amazing video, you earned a sub! Even though I don't consider myself a beginner anymore, I still remember getting started. It was a tough journey. Of course, things are a lot easier now and I'm super grateful that I didn't give up and stayed patient all the way through. Hard work and strong will (I had to use a little bit of famester as well, but I don't regret it honestly) is the key for growing your channel, and it always pay off at the end.
So happy for you man😊 I just ordered a gaming/video editing p.c. so i can start learning how to edit videos as i want to start a documentary channel, and your story makes me pumped. Hope you continue to soar.
I'm so happy my dream was TH-cam as a younger kid. I watched so many of your videos over anyone else's. Thank you VidIQ team, because I hit my first 1 1/2 years on TH-cam, and with this fourth channel I started a few days to put my learning to the test, I hit 100 subs on day one! Thank you so much for all the help! (I get I'm focusing on shorts and I haven't got any past the seed audience levels but this has been a dream!)
Brilliant editing this kept me watching .. oh and I launched my TH-cam channel thanks to VidIQ and they also did a great channel audit on me .so thanks for all the help
To all the beginners out there, congratulations for even making the effort to start your channel. You've got this, keep moving on, learning and growing. You've got to see it to achieve it.
You guys are geniuses for hiring that man. John is on point and I live so many things he said. Storytelling is at the center of what I do and I emulated many creators and compiled styles to create what has become my own. I started my TH-cam channel like three years ago and it languished, so I stopped posting. But just three weeks ago one video that has been on the channel for a while took off and lifted several others. Subscribers started pouring in and responded to the storytelling. I gained over 13,000 subs in just three weeks and was monetized in a flash. VidIQ has been a go to channel for me and this video is among the best I've seen of all the vids I've watched so far. As I'm growing,, this channel continues to educate and inspire me.
"just start" i enjoyed this video so much - relatable on so many levels. Inspiring. my confidence never stays around for long, but it is much better than it used to be, i had the courage to start again, had a few hiccups with fear and zero confidence. i am so glad to have found this VidIQ community, you are all so helpful - sometimes kind ;) and just want to share your ideas. i am testing mainly myself, recording things that i find interesting, to build my confidence to be able to create what i ultimately would like to try - wildlife documentaries, and chats about wildlife stuff.... i made a tiny start, in that my vids are showing how to learn about wildlife and some gear too, slowly SLOWLY. VidIQ gang I appreciate you and the community you have built :)
Its been over a year, I cant find my niche and I am picking stuffs here and there and putting on my channel. I know that I won't give up and I am not a quitter. But I just dont know what I need to be doing
Love this! I decided to go full time about 5 months ago and I'm still under 100 subs. I know I need to work on consistency but editing is A LOT. I'm never giving up still!!
Editing. A skill derived from understanding the software. Having the software. Spending about 6 months learning how to do the various things THEN spending the rest of your life knowing when something is useful or just jangly frills. True editing skill comes from learning less is more. In this video the presenter had a nice presence and tone. He could have probably been more effective with minimal editing here. But he was showing off. So it's understandable
I’m a video editor for TH-camrs too so totally relate to your story! I’m making videos myself aswell now! It’s a blast! Thanks for this great story! ☀️
This is the most relatable video I've ever seen! An adult with lack of direction and fear of getting started, but something has to work. That is definitely where I am!
This is an incredible story and journey. As a beginner, it's interesting to think I "know" my niche. Maybe I'm wrong! And... I probably need to tell more stories :) I watched until the end, you are incredible at this!
To all content creators out there keep telling your story and create what makes you happy, you deserve success! VidIQ! You guys really do a great job of telling a story while being informative! Thank you! Your knowledge and delivery have helped me greatly!
Thank you for telling your story! All the effort, wow! Love the ad slipped into the mix and you are... a solid, bold, impressive, video editor! Congrats on your job!
OMG!! That thumbnail, lmao. That is a Mr beast level thumbnail if not better there was no way to not click on it, video most certainly didn't disappoint either. Highly relatable from the experiences to the research and boy do I love posh rob.
Storytelling is the trick in getting viewers glue to your channel. Even if your video is boring, if your voice over or story you are telling is interesting. Viewers will continue watching
I think I fell in love with this video. I'm glad to have see you on this channel and your story really inspires me a ton! Thank you for this video, everyone!
I just started my real journey on youtube, and so far its been quite a ride! 38k views, and 112 subscribes feels like so much to someone whos never tried to have a real online presence before, but i know i still have such a long road ahead, cant wait to see where perserverence leads me!
Yeah this is miles above what most regular people can do! MILES ABOVE! Great ah video! I finally upgraded my equipment but my editing needs tweaking lol... pray for me 🤣
I’m a mom with an idea for a channel. Have had this idea for at least 2 years. Thanks for sharing your journey. Got some research to do for the editing part. But I am so inspired by what you’ve shared! Oh just found you and subscribed.
Wow! 16 minutes of Pure Value and Great Information there! My retention rate was 100%. I loved every bit of it from the information, to delivery, to editing. Thank you VidIQ.
Great story, brilliantly edited, brilliantly told, engaging, relatable, and most of all inspiring to all who want to make this a career... Way to go, John!
I'm a full time TH-camr =D I don't class myself as a 'big' creator though, I still see myself as very small. I actually started full time on TH-cam when I had about 10K Subs and was getting about 600k views a month. It was a rough start though but you gotta keep at it and stay consistent!
Love this video. I wish I saw this vieeo before starting my TH-cam journey. I started making TH-cam videos 7.5 years ago. Tried a fancier editing program, got stuck, started second guessing myself. I got lost trying to get better, and randomly uploaded for 5 years...until i needed a distraction so I started uploading 2.5 years ago. Point is, dont wait, start uploading. Some people catch on sooner then others. But the sooner you start, the sooner you'll start figuring it out.
I was immediately captured by the editing in this video before editing was even brought up. Amazing job and now I have someone new to learn from! Thank you! 💜
WOW! Thank you. I have been searching for 2 years on how to be more of a creator and your style and tenor of tone on this video - lets put it this way, going to watch a couple of times - not to copy of course but many points you brought up, really resonate with me. Even MY mom on a recent telephone call said, 'Tony - you need to find your niche'. Anyway - congrats and may your journey continue to be bright. I will look you up in a year and when all goes better than now - can thank you again.
Man first I gotta say, that is some 🔥editing right there. I can only imagine how long it took to get that good. Second, editing has really changed my life. While I may not be able to do any 3D editing or super complex edits, my phone editing is second to none, but it wasn’t always that way. You definitely need to try in order to succeed. Great video! 💯 Also, nice Spiffing Brit reference 😂😂😂
Your journey through hustles/jobs/professions sounded SO familiar to me. It is my dream to do what you have done, break free from the 9-5 and actually do something that resonates with me. Thank you for sharing your story. It is encouraging.
Hey John… 0:15 I see what you did there (cut in and cut outs) 🔥 fire video you dropped today about editing hacks. So glad you’re apart of the VidIQ team! Such an asset to an already awesome channel!
Thanks for sharing your story. I loved watching Malcom in the Middle growing up, and wouldn’t have known until you pointed it out! Bravo to your success! 🎉
Hitting the 4000h 1000s is possibly the hardest thing ever! I started 5 months ago. I’m made progress but I really want to get it in the first year. Good luck to you all!
I’m so glad I found this video. I’ve been in these TH-cam streets since 2020. I make myself ill comparing myself to the growth trajectory of “How to ADHD“ even though our circumstances are completely different. Your video is the encouragement I needed at this moment.
To the awesome person reading this, always remember, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs. Your dreams are worth every effort and every setback. Keep pushing forward, stay passionate, and don't let anything deter you. The journey may be tough, but your dreams are within reach. Keep going, because greatness awaits you! 🌟💪🚀
Rob, Dan and the vidIQ team are the best to learn from. I just don't seem to have to right tools or income to progress to monetisation (which when i do i wanna donate to a local charity who helped my late family and put back into my community. Great video guys ✌️ 😊
I started my gaming channel 6 weeks ago... I had some great success in the first 4 weeks, with 1 vid hitting 9k views! In last 2 weeks, I felt creatively burnt out though and nearly quit YouTubing after a few vids that didn't do quite as well... 7 days ago I stumbled upon your vids and have spent a few hours each day getting inspired and learning so much by your channel and it reinvigorated my passion and gave me fresh new ideas... I put extra time and effort into the new knowledge I gained from all your vids into my last vid I released 2 days ago and it's now going viral with already 7k plus views and now on track to be my most successful vid so far!!! Can't thank you Rob and VidIQ enough for all your priceless knowledge, humour and enthusiasm! Keep inspiring us Content Creators as we attempt to make the world a better place, keep up the awesome work! 🙌
This is a powerful title and a powerful video! Glad I watched this😊 Btw I feel like I'll never get picked out of the claw since I started watching the vidIQ livestreams😂
Great Story, really nice to hear that journey :) One of my biggest fear or insecurity is, that I would like to make videos in English, but I fear that i just speak gibberish :D and when editing I really don't like to hear my own voice. Any helpfull tips to overcome those?
OMG, Im doing youtube so I can build up my portfolio and teach others what pretty much how to do my job!!! This is pretty relatable. I just started 2 days ago, hope to get monetized before June 2024!
When I first starting my TH-cam channel, I always thought there was a certain way to make a video go viral. Like a certain pattern or certain format. But after watching this video, I learned something that I’ve should’ve learned along time ago. Thank u so much for this video. I’m going to take all of these tips and advice and make my videos.
thanks man, this is really what I needed, this video had a lot of the best advice about youtube that I ever heard. It is so hard to keep posting videos when your not getting any subscribers 😡. But I do have a question, how many subscribers did you have after a month of creating? And I have always loved the little ammount of editing that I can do, but like you, I want to learn more. I am good with computers, I just want to learn to use the ability that I have, anyway, I love the editing in this video 😉. Great job and good luck!
1 month in I had less than 10 I know that.. In my head I figured if I make several videos, it will build a catalogue and when subscribers DO finally come, they will have videos to watch! Little did I know, what I was really doing was just improving like crazy with each video and that's what really started to get attention.
Big waste of time and money. lol Nothing against Real Estate, it just wasn't for me. I was hitting that quarter-life crisis big time so that was the first thing I thought I could do that would count as adulting.
@@KristinaSmallhorn Honesty, Real Estate is one of the best careers for creative freedom. What attracted me to it most was the ability to build yourself as your own brand regardless of brokerage.
I don't comment on many videos. In fact, I can't even remember clearly ever commenting on a video. But this video really connected with me. I really believe everyone's journey is unique, but many creators tell a story about their journey that rarely highlights that point. Great video!
I am a full time TH-camr since I've retired at 35 for disabilities and living in disability benefits..but it gets in my way health way Rob, I've ASKED for your advice multiple times it's alot 😢
This is THE BEST VIDEO I'VE EVER WATCHED!! The editing is so on point, the timing of the special fx, the transitions, every detail was so well crafted. I am blown away 😱
thank you for your advice! I’ve had a lot of the same struggles starting my channel as you! Not knowing my niche, my style.. all of that. But thanks to this advice, I’m going to be uploading soon! Thanks again!
I have just started, although there are many difficulties, there is also a lot of joy from each view. Thank you and good luck to everyone reading these words
Wow, your videos are so good! This is the second one I've watched so far with you in it and I can totally relate to your story. I really needed to see this! I'm feeling inspired 🤩
I'm a new content creator and decided to embark on this journey just yesterday. I just want to say that I simply love the vidIQ TH-cam channel and the videos! All the videos I've watched, including this one, are great quality, highly entertaining, and provide tons of value to people like me! I subscribed, signed up, and I'm currently binging their videos! A huge THANK YOU to your team! Keep up the good work!
With real estate we lost so much money it isn’t funny😅 This is so relatable. And the editing in this video is incredible. And yes never in my favor either. I love how you take a leap of faith and took that opportunity and lead to so many things🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 So happy for you and everything work out for you. Thank you so much for sharing
The editing is incredible and the talent really shines through! However i think that when it comes to editing like this, the audience may split. personally it was so overwhelming to watch and follow what was being said because i felt bombarded by all the effects 😹 i could follow for the first 5 minutes or so, but then everything was a bit much and i felt out of breath by the end hahaha. the youtubers i watch make edits but not to this extent (not even Kurtis Conner goes this hard lmao). while i want to keep my audience engaged in what i have to say, i don’t want to attack them with 5 different things happening in a span of 1 minute, whether it’s visually or with audio. idk how many people prefer this type of editing but it’s important to keep in mind who you want to appeal to. most commentary channels have minimal editing, or two/three things happening at once, while still having an engaged audience. i guess that’s where my audience lies as well. :) target audience is key! still, congratulations to you & your skills have gotten you so far as to work with VidIQ! The talent is extraordinary, for real! So good job and keep at it !

First thing I noticed about John was the editing. Totally grabbed my attention. His storytelling is engaging, too!
Editing before storytelling. That's why you tube is unwatchable today
As a writer, editor, copywriter, and video editor, can confirm. Storytelling matters so much. Great video, great editing, great story. Subscribed.
Actually i was already subscribed. Too bad i can't subscribe twice.

Great video. I’ve played with 3D Blender Modeling. I find it addictive and frustrating at the same time. Off to check out your channel. 😊
LOL the epidemic sound ad. Funniest ad I’ve seen in a long time, and definitely is what earned you the vid like.
We tried our best 😅
Love the "every journey is different". So true and not talked about enough.
Love this! I decided to go full time about 5 months ago and I'm still under 100 subs. I know I need to work on consistency but editing is A LOT. I'm never giving up still!!

I started making TH-cam videos 7.5 years ago. Tried a fancier editing program, got stuck, started second guessing myself. I got lost trying to get better, and randomly uploaded for 5 years...until i needed a distraction so I started uploading 2.5 years ago.
Point is, dont wait, start uploading. Some people catch on sooner then others. But the sooner you start, the sooner you'll start figuring it out.
I was immediately captured by the editing in this video before editing was even brought up. Amazing job and now I have someone new to learn from! Thank you! 💜
Thanks so much!
@@HeyJohnScott you’re welcome!
WOW! Thank you. I have been searching for 2 years on how to be more of a creator and your style and tenor of tone on this video - lets put it this way, going to watch a couple of times - not to copy of course but many points you brought up, really resonate with me. Even MY mom on a recent telephone call said, 'Tony - you need to find your niche'. Anyway - congrats and may your journey continue to be bright. I will look you up in a year and when all goes better than now - can thank you again.
Man first I gotta say, that is some 🔥editing right there. I can only imagine how long it took to get that good.
Second, editing has really changed my life. While I may not be able to do any 3D editing or super complex edits, my phone editing is second to none, but it wasn’t always that way. You definitely need to try in order to succeed. Great video! 💯
Also, nice Spiffing Brit reference 😂😂😂
The amount of impacted this made on me it's difficult to quantify. Thank you for coming telling your story and a captivating and motivating way.
I'm glad to hear it :)
Your journey through hustles/jobs/professions sounded SO familiar to me. It is my dream to do what you have done, break free from the 9-5 and actually do something that resonates with me. Thank you for sharing your story. It is encouraging.
As someone who left a career and just works pt on the weekend now, i plan on going full time very soon. As a beginner lol
Hey John… 0:15 I see what you did there (cut in and cut outs) 🔥 fire video you dropped today about editing hacks. So glad you’re apart of the VidIQ team! Such an asset to an already awesome channel!
AY!!!!! You did the thing!!!!
The storytelling, sound effects, music, and editing was epic! So happy everything fell into place for you and VidIQ
Thanks for sharing your story. I loved watching Malcom in the Middle growing up, and wouldn’t have known until you pointed it out! Bravo to your success! 🎉
You’re learning and improving with each new video you make. You guys will get there 💪💪💪
Hitting the 4000h 1000s is possibly the hardest thing ever! I started 5 months ago. I’m made progress but I really want to get it in the first year.
Good luck to you all!
I’m currently on 583 subs and 2011 hours 🙌
Here's another example of that. Less than one year uploading on TH-cam!
I’m so glad I found this video. I’ve been in these TH-cam streets since 2020. I make myself ill comparing myself to the growth trajectory of “How to ADHD“ even though our circumstances are completely different. Your video is the encouragement I needed at this moment.
To the awesome person reading this, always remember, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs. Your dreams are worth every effort and every setback. Keep pushing forward, stay passionate, and don't let anything deter you. The journey may be tough, but your dreams are within reach. Keep going, because greatness awaits you! 🌟💪🚀
I didn't know Chris Pratt was a TH-camr and video editor. Good for you, bro. Excellent story telling.
Rob, Dan and the vidIQ team are the best to learn from. I just don't seem to have to right tools or income to progress to monetisation (which when i do i wanna donate to a local charity who helped my late family and put back into my community.
Great video guys ✌️ 😊
Thank you very much! 😊

Bro, your end hooks are crazy, I just clicked on 2 of your end video recommendations in a row without even thinking
Great story man. Glad it all worked out. Keep up the good work.
This has got to be one of the most entertaining you tube videos I've ever seen. Great job!
Thanks so much, David Wallace.
This is such great advice. Now I know that all we new creators need to do is be the 1 in a billion creators to land the perfect job! Excellent.
I started my gaming channel 6 weeks ago... I had some great success in the first 4 weeks, with 1 vid hitting 9k views! In last 2 weeks, I felt creatively burnt out though and nearly quit YouTubing after a few vids that didn't do quite as well... 7 days ago I stumbled upon your vids and have spent a few hours each day getting inspired and learning so much by your channel and it reinvigorated my passion and gave me fresh new ideas... I put extra time and effort into the new knowledge I gained from all your vids into my last vid I released 2 days ago and it's now going viral with already 7k plus views and now on track to be my most successful vid so far!!! Can't thank you Rob and VidIQ enough for all your priceless knowledge, humour and enthusiasm! Keep inspiring us Content Creators as we attempt to make the world a better place, keep up the awesome work! 🙌
Thank you for the tips🎉
What an absolutely brilliant video. I was laughing and enjoying it, whilst learning a ton of info, that's a rare skill, Job well done Sir!
This is a powerful title and a powerful video! Glad I watched this😊
Btw I feel like I'll never get picked out of the claw since I started watching the vidIQ livestreams😂
Great Story, really nice to hear that journey :) One of my biggest fear or insecurity is, that I would like to make videos in English, but I fear that i just speak gibberish :D and when editing I really don't like to hear my own voice. Any helpfull tips to overcome those?
Try some public speaking training, it is challenging, but surely you can overcome it. 😊
Ooh I have this problem too, I hate to hear my own voice and as soon as the camera is on I forget how to talk 😂
@@hideawaycottage I know what you mean😅
Absolutely listening to one's own voice is sometimes odd but with practice and practice you get better at it
OMG, Im doing youtube so I can build up my portfolio and teach others what pretty much how to do my job!!! This is pretty relatable. I just started 2 days ago, hope to get monetized before June 2024!
The editing is awesome! So much going on, but it feels purposeful and natural. Bravo!
When I first starting my TH-cam channel, I always thought there was a certain way to make a video go viral. Like a certain pattern or certain format. But after watching this video, I learned something that I’ve should’ve learned along time ago. Thank u so much for this video. I’m going to take all of these tips and advice and make my videos.
thanks man, this is really what I needed, this video had a lot of the best advice about youtube that I ever heard. It is so hard to keep posting videos when your not getting any subscribers 😡. But I do have a question, how many subscribers did you have after a month of creating? And I have always loved the little ammount of editing that I can do, but like you, I want to learn more. I am good with computers, I just want to learn to use the ability that I have, anyway, I love the editing in this video 😉. Great job and good luck!
1 month in I had less than 10 I know that.. In my head I figured if I make several videos, it will build a catalogue and when subscribers DO finally come, they will have videos to watch! Little did I know, what I was really doing was just improving like crazy with each video and that's what really started to get attention.
The “ I got my real estate license” made me laugh. 😂
Big waste of time and money. lol Nothing against Real Estate, it just wasn't for me. I was hitting that quarter-life crisis big time so that was the first thing I thought I could do that would count as adulting.
@@HeyJohnScott I do real estate a bit different than the norm so I total get what you are saying.
@@KristinaSmallhorn Honesty, Real Estate is one of the best careers for creative freedom. What attracted me to it most was the ability to build yourself as your own brand regardless of brokerage.
These video help as i feel better about my channel then i did years ago
You got this 😎
“You won’t hear opportunity knock if you don’t have a door” Love it! Thank you John! 🙏
Your video really help, think you bro
Thank you for watching!
@@vidIQ think you for your good info,
Your videos really work for me 🙏
I don't comment on many videos. In fact, I can't even remember clearly ever commenting on a video. But this video really connected with me. I really believe everyone's journey is unique, but many creators tell a story about their journey that rarely highlights that point. Great video!
Amazing video👍
Love your energy! Such a great story!
Always here to learn
Your story telling and editing is simply out of this world. Love, love, love!
I am a full time TH-camr since I've retired at 35 for disabilities and living in disability benefits..but it gets in my way health way Rob, I've ASKED for your advice multiple times it's alot 😢
"You won't hear opportunity knock if you don't have a door." 😂😀😆 Classic inspirational quote!
I loved this video. This was so inspiring and I will never give up :) Everyone go after your dreams! It is never too late

Wow! I can relate SO MUCH! From the musician part to many of other things!!! Awesome video!🤗🤗🤗 Thank you
This is THE BEST VIDEO I'VE EVER WATCHED!! The editing is so on point, the timing of the special fx, the transitions, every detail was so well crafted. I am blown away 😱
Thanks so much!!
thank you for your advice! I’ve had a lot of the same struggles starting my channel as you! Not knowing my niche, my style.. all of that. But thanks to this advice, I’m going to be uploading soon! Thanks again!
You always come with awesome content ..thanks
Thank you for watching! 😊
I have just started, although there are many difficulties, there is also a lot of joy from each view. Thank you and good luck to everyone reading these words
I KNow what u know. I do what u do 😅
😂 This is the perfect comment.
Wow, your videos are so good! This is the second one I've watched so far with you in it and I can totally relate to your story. I really needed to see this! I'm feeling inspired 🤩
What an awesome video and great story. & John's editing is LETHAL! Appreciate him sharing his inspiring journey.
:)
I'm a new content creator and decided to embark on this journey just yesterday.
I just want to say that I simply love the vidIQ TH-cam channel and the videos!
All the videos I've watched, including this one, are great quality, highly entertaining, and provide tons of value to people like me!
I subscribed, signed up, and I'm currently binging their videos!
A huge THANK YOU to your team! Keep up the good work!
With real estate we lost so much money it isn’t funny😅 This is so relatable. And the editing in this video is incredible.
And yes never in my favor either. I love how you take a leap of faith and took that opportunity and lead to so many things🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 So happy for you and everything work out for you. Thank you so much for sharing
Perfect editing goes unnoticed. A lot of you tubers are always complimented someone's editing. If you noticed the editing .you went overboard
Thanks for the advice! I totally relate to this video for the obvious reasons.
The editing is incredible and the talent really shines through! However i think that when it comes to editing like this, the audience may split.
personally it was so overwhelming to watch and follow what was being said because i felt bombarded by all the effects 😹 i could follow for the first 5 minutes or so, but then everything was a bit much and i felt out of breath by the end hahaha. the youtubers i watch make edits but not to this extent (not even Kurtis Conner goes this hard lmao). while i want to keep my audience engaged in what i have to say, i don’t want to attack them with 5 different things happening in a span of 1 minute, whether it’s visually or with audio. idk how many people prefer this type of editing but it’s important to keep in mind who you want to appeal to. most commentary channels have minimal editing, or two/three things happening at once, while still having an engaged audience. i guess that’s where my audience lies as well. :) target audience is key!
still, congratulations to you & your skills have gotten you so far as to work with VidIQ! The talent is extraordinary, for real! So good job and keep at it !
I agree I find to much movement makes me feel sick. I don't watch Mr beast for that reason.
