- This video is 30 minutes of the best tips and advice I can give to people who want to start a bbq channel and would like to know how to make bbq videos with only an iphone or Samsung phone.
In this video we cover tips on how to use an iphone, story telling, microphones, audio, lighting, and what to buy (and what NOT to buy.) I tell you about alot of the good (and bad) advice I got starting out, and some of the mistakes I've made...hoping by sharing it helps you get started on the right foot.
It's silly in parts and I was being attacked by nature the whole time (you'll see) but try not to let that distract from the info. There is alot in here! I made it for you guys but I needed to hear alot of this myself.

First of all thank you so much for the shout out. Weird to hear my name in my subscriptions. And yes you have me dead to rights! I sat down to edit the orange chicken episode and I was like “wait why am I saying ‘orange flavored chicken’ over and over???” And the terrible thought of re-filming everything washed over me. And I almost did. But then I was like “screw it” just charged through hahaha. Can’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. You just have to make the thing, which is why it’s wonderful you made this video! Hope it inspires others to just start and make something. Cheers, my friend! - EJ
I never would have let bugs make sweet love on my shoulder in my video if it weren't for you. (Let me know if you ever get a weirder compliment than that.)
You're the best, EJ. Thanks for the inspiration.
Words of wisdom Justin. I'm sure this video will help aspiring creators for years to come!
Thanks, Greg. You and I both know the Al gorithm is going to bury this one, but at least it's out there if they can find it. I hate the games we have to play to get our stuff broadcasted. (maybe that will be my next video.)
Wonderful tips in the video Justin and those two bugs crawling around on ya made this video special. I did see that one bug pop you in your left eye! Glad you have reflexes like a cat bro! LOL So, Smokey is swimming now? Awesome!!!! I really need to visit and spend a couple days hanging out with you my friend. I really miss me some Justin time. Hope all is well on your end! Love ya like a brother!!! Hey Mrs. Maniac and Kiddo Maniac!!! Cheers!!!!!!!
Me too, buddy. This video reminded me of when we did this 5 years ago at your house. Back when I was starting out and when you were the "Big Channel" of 50K subs. Good memories.
Great tips Justin. I've been doing this for almost 10 years, and still picked up some great tips from this video. I think we all continue to learn everyday that we do this. I know I sure do. Speaking of phones, that's exactly how I started way back when. iPhone 4 was a very crappy phone for shooting a video, and it's amazing how good they have gotten over the years. I still use my new iPhone for random 4th angle shots in almost every video I do.
Thanks, Rus. Yeah, the iphone 4 was my first smart phone also. It was rough, but the interesting thing is even the crappy iphone footage back then was good compared to the other cameras available back then...especially since it was (kinda) free with the phone. Anyways, I appreciate you watching, my friend.
Hey I'll be your Uber driver any day of the week! I'll work on the head space, a little at a time... maybe... LOL! Love ya brother!
LOL. You put your head where you want it...when you are that sexy there are no rules.
One of the reasons I have recently started filming TH-cam videos was because I watched a conversation between you and T-Roy talking about just getting started on TH-cam. Love the videos and glad I started!
That video is the reason I made this video. The views weren't all that good but the feedback I got over the years let me know it helped a lot of people.
Thank you for this! I have been thinking about making a video and was JUST thinking about deeply right as I found this video. Your positive energy, enthusiasm, and confidence are most encouraging!
The teacher is teaching - Pay attention!!! Great video and LOTS of great facts. Like a little college class 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is a perfect video. So many people need to watch this if they want to start making videos. Justin you knocked this out of the park. Thank you for all the tips and tricks.
Thank you, Eric!
Justin, I am not sure if I have told you this or not, but a little over 2 years ago I watched a video that you and Troy did on starting and growing a YT channel. That video is the reason I started my channel. It inspired me. You gave me some advice in that video, you said to find a channel that you enjoy and watch every video and comment on them. So, I did that, I went back and watched every one of your videos and commented on them. I went on your YT journey with you and learned along the way. I think at one point my comments even pissed you off, but we got through it. LOL. Thank you for what you do and did for the BBQ community and for me, my friend. I owe you big!
LOL. If you pissed me off, I don't remember it. I'm glad you found that video useful. I remember how much I learned making it. I also remember being so embarrassed by the quality of it at the end I almost didnt post it but T-roy told me it didn't have to be perfect. (Theres a theme in my life, huh?) lol
Thanks for the wonderful Comment, Coleman.
Justin, I’ve been waiting for someone to do a video on how to get started making utube videos. This was so informative and of course funny at times. I’ve been thinking about starting this for a long time but didn’t know how. This was absolutely so helpful and I can’t thank you enough! Great advice. Thanks brother!
Awesome video Justin, and awesome tips!🔥🤩 We shoot all of our vids on an iPhone and also edit on our iPhone, phones have come such a long way!!! Our lives are very complex but our edited vids are so simple and easy to execute. Love the Cooking with CJ shoutout!!🤣🤣🤣
He's the best. I love that guy and his perfected centered face.
Hey Justin. Just hit record… that will get you started, and you can get better from there. Good audio was so difficult for me, hopefully I am better at it now, I hope so. Take care Justin.
Good audio is always hard. I think it's one of those things were you really have to let go of perfectionism and just say "Good enough!" (well, maybe you don't...but I sure do. I"ll drive myself nuts. lol)
Nice video Justin. I just recently started a channel and though I realize there is folks out there with much better equipment than me part of my vision is that I’m trying to give the “ average guy” a chance to make great BBQ. I am doing everything on an iPhone and my plan is for the videos to be raw, unedited and unfiltered. So many try to make it look like a movie. Thanks for the tips, does seem like a microphone makes a big difference. Cheers.
Greatly appreciate the integrity in your sharing and wanting to help people! Big Thumbs UP!
Thanks for being an inspiration to me. When I watched Pimp My Grill! I knew I had to start a channel to show my love for modifying and restoring Grills
Thank you for this! You and T-Roy were the two that really got me into BBQ and taught me about it (along with Harry Soo). I've got a decent IG and TikTok account but I've always been scared to do long form youtube videos. Thanks for the tips and the confidence. Keep doing your thing Justin! Much love brother!
Chuck,
Yeah, You are killing it with the shorts though. Long form content is intimidating because it requires you to put yourself out there more, but you seem to have such a great personality naturally I don't think you have anything to worry about. Thanks for stopping by, man.
Man, thank you so much for this video Justin! Great tips and very timely encouragement for those of us who have been nervous and sitting on the fence. My favorite excuse for putting it off is that I don’t have the equipment. Fact is, I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max in my hand as we speak. Time to get rolling!
The timing of could not be better as I am planning to start up my own cooking channel that will be focused mostly around BBQ.
Again, thank you so much! If I am able to muster even 10 views, that success will be due to the advice you and T-Roy have been so kind to share. You guys rock!
AWESOME!!!!!! Who else would take the time to try to help aspiring Tubers learn the basics. Plus doing it dodging flying insects and having a Bug Porno being performed on his shoulder... LOL Great advice on so many aspects of this passion. Thankfully the health is going to let me start this filming journey. This video answered several questions that I haven't "Bugged" you about yet. The most important take is HAVE FUN which I was not doing... Thanks for a GREAT VIDEO My Friend
Thank you for this, Justin. I was just re-watching your episode with TROY about starting the channel when this popped up! I commented a year ago and I was 3 weeks in. Now I'm monetized and growing at a steady rate. I have the Iphone 11 Pro Max and I shoot in 4k 60fps and the quality is perfect without having to spend $2k on a camera. There are so many other great tips in this video as well. I get so much joy making videos and recipes for people to use as well as connecting with my audience. I think this is the most quintessential thing in growing and making your channel great! Thanks again for being a great role model for the small growing channels! Cheers to you!
You are sooo right. Connecting with your audience is everything. Thanks for watching, man.
OK, OK I’m not interested in starting a TH-cam channel and I can’t imagine I ever will be but the last Half hour I just spent watching this video was priceless thank you Justin you are a true artist!
Thank you Mike. That was nice of you to say
I just stumbled upon your channel last week. Ironically enough when you discussed the TH-cam algorithm, you popped up on my suggested videos. Keep up the awesome content. I’ve been toying with the idea of making videos myself, and this definitely helped.
Awesome. Thanks for popping by!
Thanks for this "reminder" video. Basically, I take away "just get started". Thanks for that.
Indeed! and you're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Glad to see you're back.
Good information.
Thank you, Dave.
Thanks for the video! I just started making videos after talking about it for years. Keep up the good work!
I found your channel on EJ's recommendation, thanks for this video and all your other videos. I've been enjoying going through and watching all of them.
Awesome! Thank you! Ej is great, isn't he?
@@BabyBackManiac He's pretty great. Although I do wonder if he'll ever try cooking ribs.
@@DrunkenMonk lol
I just clicked on the video and haven’t watch yet, BUT I’m excited for this! I’ve been wishing a few of my favorite BBQ TH-camrs would do this. CHUD, MAD SCIENTIST, T-ROY I’m looking at you guys 😂
Lol. Thanks for watching, Austin.
Great advice Justin. You reminded me of the importance of story telling. Hooking folks to engage in our videos is huge. Thanks for the video Justin.
Thanks man. I'm glad it was helpful.
Thank you for doing this video. I have been considering doing a channel on Bibles, BBQ, and Bikes but have been concerned about not having the equipment. I have an iPhone and the camera is amazing but never considered using it to start the channel. Again, thank you for being you!!!!
Where has this been all my life?!...or at least for the past 15 months:). Great stuff, Justin! You've been a great help and inspiration to me from day one, and I sincerely appreciate it. Please keep making videos, despite the roadblocks that TH-cam and some viewers may throw in your path:).
You are so welcome. I am really glad you find it helpful. I love doing stuff like this.
So here's the rub. (I should probably do a video on this.) I would do this type of thing alot but the bitter irony is if I do, most viewers who could use the info will never know it was uploaded. The system won't tell them because the YT system "wants" me doing bbq videos.
So here's how that plays out. If I did a series of videos helping aspiring youtubers know exactly how to start a channel, the net effect would be the aspiring youtubers never seeing it until I went back to making ribs and saying "Hey, it's great that you are back! If you get a chance, could you make some videos showing aspiring youtubers how to start a channel." lol. It's crazy. But what can you do?
@@BabyBackManiac That's insane...Good ole algorithms! Looks like that Rode wireless lav mic is for 2-person setups, interviews, etc. Do they make one that you'd recommend that's a single lav mic?
@@theqshedbackyardbbq yes. It's just the original wireless go. Works great.
Get the mag clip if you are going to wear the box like I do. If you are going to plug in a separate lav mic, it's not that important.
Great advice Justin, I only use my iPhone now. I went down that camera blackhole. iPhone and tripod, that is all you need to make really good videos.
I'm glad you were able to pull yourself out of the black hole. I'm still in it. That's why I'm trying to warn everyone. lol. Thanks for stopping by, Tom.
Awesome information Justin... Been on the fence for years about starting my channel.... Thanks for the video
Do it! lol
Hey Justin, this was about perfect. I own a bunch of smokers, cookers and pizza ovens and would love to do something like this. Friends love my food and have said I should have a TH-cam channel: After watching this, I just might! Love the cooking but would like to see a bit more of you inspiring others - top job! 🍖👍🙏
Great advice Justin! A good free video editor for iPhone is called VN. A $15 lavaliere mic with a very long wire that sounds great is the Boya M1.
I especially liked your advice about using the sun as a light source and how to use the shade.
Thanks Mike. Appreciate the tips too!
Awesome 👍🏻 some great tips here. I’m going to try to implement some of these. Thanks for sharing. Great video ✌🏻
Thanks for watching!
Great tips Justin. I couldn’t agree more with starting with what you currently have - like an iPhone or point and shoot camera. You. An spend so much money on gear when you don’t have to. Heck I’m still filming with two cameras that are Super old - one is actually 10 years old and doesn’t even have auto focus on video mode! Haha. Not ideal but it works. Use what you have and press record - that’s the hardest part sometimes. 🙌🍻🔥
Exactly! I admire your resolve. I'm not. lol. That's why I'm trying to warn people.
What an incredible video! Fun story: when I started doing TH-cam videos my cell phone was an LG flip phone... they have come so far in such a short amount of time. I love watching your videos and being able to sit back and hear a tale ;)
lol. I was look at this coming week and
the weather may start getting rough and our grills my get tossed. if not for the courage of me and you our spare ribs may be lost
Lots of great information in this video Thank you Frank from montana....
AHA! I know someone who actually DOES have a "crappy" phone. That would be me, of course. A tiny little Samsung "orbit". It's just about as cheap as they get. Anyway, I need to practice what I (and everyone else) preach(s). I have this horrible, horrible habit of glancing off to the side during my "on screen" time. Why I do it, I'll never know. Experts always say to imagine your audience naked, which kinda' scares me... Maybe that's why I always look off to the side. Who knows, maybe a few insects will land on the camera and partake in an insectual gang bang. But I shall remember your words of expertise for the next vid. You're one of the best you tubers out there, Justin! Keep rockin' it.
LOL. That made me laugh out loud for real. I think you’re just keeping an eye out for that next crate of free bison meat coming in from your new sponsor. lol.
I bought an iRig phone mounted shotgun mic for shooting Christmas videos. To practice I did a slow motion video searing some tomahawk steaks on my kettle. It was only 30 seconds but it was a blast setting it up and planning it out to look good. Almost, you have persuaded me, almost. 😁Great video. You tempter you.
You show all the signs of a person who will eventually start a channel and at least stick their toe in the water. I'm just taking you where you already want to go. ;-)
i need an autofocus dude lol . great tips brotha! Thanks as always for your uploads
JAAAASOOOOOON"S DEEEEEEELIIIIIII!
@@BabyBackManiac YES, thats what im talkin about lol I woke up pumped for a build your own salad and a half and half tea hahah... Adulting 101 for anyone that didnt already know
Such a good video - everyone should see this video!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
This truly is a very nice video, making online video production feel like the accessible thing it should be!
And I am also an EJ Massa fan haha
Thank you so much! He's great, isn't he!
@@BabyBackManiac
You're very welcome! I liked what you had to say about not needing to break the bank on equipment.
Yeah EJ's a lovely guy too! In my opinion him and all the Red Cow Entertainment crew deserve a raise haha
You said "trust the Dude"! I agree with you on the iphone and tell the story! When I started I had a 4k Canon video recorder, boom mic etc and end of the day I learned that my iphone with a wireless mic is just as good if not better! You Dont need to get GAS, Gear Acquisition Syndrome! lol. At the 11 minute mark when the bugs were buzzing you, I see so many channels that just show the bacon cooking or the grilled cheese cooking and there is nothing going on. That stuff adds nothing to the video and is a great point to jump off. I have been guilty in the past. In my last 10 videos I have really cleaned up my videos and have seen longer view times. We live and learn! Thanks for sharing what you have, great advice and ideas!
Yeah, it makes a huge difference and keeps people engaged longer. People get hung up on video length ("shorter is better") but I don't personally think length matters. A compelling 20 minute video will fly by but a poorly edited 2 minute video can feel like an eternity. Thanks for watching!
This is a great video man, very informative for a new youtuber in the BBQ space. A cell phone is all I use, and some of my viewers find that hard to believe. In fact there are times when a second camera would be cool, and when I think about buying one it's ANOTHER phone that I"m thinking about. As far as the content and the way my videos are scripted I think I might be on the right track there.
One of my subscribers mentioned that almost all bbq videos are pretty-much the same, giving you the same information in the same way. I've tried to be very intentional about not doing that, but sometimes I edit out good personal content for fear that people would be like "I didn't come here for that" and skip past it. But enough people have commented on my videos and my style of delivering them that I'm going to be much more intentional about including more of my personal life in the videos, being careful to always make it a part of just being out in the back yard cooking. Great content as always. I'm going to really dig into this. I'll be checking out Red Cow too, if for no other reason than to steal that Orange Chicken recipe, lol!
Ron,
I think we've gotten to the point where cell phones should be the first choice for most people...and I think getting a second one makes sense. If I had to guess, 10 of my last 15 or so videos have been filmed almost entirely on iphone 13 pro max, and while the image isn't as good, the flexibility and freedom it gives me to be in the moment works out to a net positive. Since then, I've gotten the 14, and it's even better...particularly on the main lens in low light situations.
I don't know if you are iphone or Android but if you are an apple guy, i would wait on the 15 before I bought a backup phone. The 15 will be out in September and they will have USB instead of lighting port which will make offloading files SOOOO much faster. (if you are an android guy, you probably already enjoy this feature.)
Thanks for watching.
EJ is great. So offbeat and funny but actually a good representation of a normal dude doing normal stuff but surprisingly helpful too.
I totally agree. That's exactly what makes it special IMHO.
This video inspired me to make a bbq channel. I already owned a Nikon and it really hit hard when you said just go for it. So I did. Thanks for the tips! I'm still working on my audio quality but it's getting there!
That is awesome! That's why I made it. Good luck!
@@BabyBackManiac also glad to see you back! :)
I certainly know that "blackhole" on buying gear! hahaha I started with 2 iPhones and now have 5 no recording limit cough cough Sony full frame cameras. That didn't happen overnight but I am finally to the point the only new gear I am looking at is more lighting. Good audio made the biggest change for quality to my production! This is a great video for people wanting to try the TH-cam rat race out!!! Good job bud. Ps.. I am glad Doug got a good nap in before he goes out and plays dodge the windshields with his teenage friends!
Hey, at least it didn't over heat! lol.
I agree, Audio is everything. I mean, just listening to the difference between the video mic NTG and the wireless go is pretty amazing...and that's a really good mic. By the way, I used the internal recording. I like it, but there is one really annoying thing. The meta data when you export is the time you export...NOT the time you capture it. It was a huge pain figuring out what went where.
Yeah, Doug has a mandatory 2 hour nap after relations to recharge. I can relate.
Great video, Justin! Wonder if there's room on here for a new knucklehead with a brisket smoking video....
Love watching your videos.
Glad you like them!
@@BabyBackManiac do you feel the slow n sear is good to have if I cook at temps between 300-350. Being disabled I really am looking for something to help me get consistent temps. Thanks so much.
Hey Justin I’m only starting out my channel now, I have one but my big dream is Aussie smoke bloke, thank you for the tips I’ll be using most of them, cheers from a smoker brother, Darren
Glad I could help. Good luck with your channel
Great content Justin, and others who have chimed in over the last few days since this was published
What do you guys all use for actually editting the video, sure you can record it on all sorts of devices, but then cutting things together, different bits of footage, from in some cases, especially when getting more serious setup, what software for actual editting the footage before uploading
There's plenty of paid programs, but a number of free ones too
Keep up the great work everyone
Cheers from Down Under
Thank you for this information 🙏🏽
Thank you for making this video. It helps to know big TH-camrs can sometimes use phones too.
All the time. Thanks for watching, Austin!
Good video my friend I like the real part, not a big hollywood production. Thank YOU Frank from montana........
Makes me feel more confident in what I'm doing and knowing that I don't have to be perfect and like Harry says spreading that barbecue love your yours T-Rex and Harry's videos always make me smile so does chuds so I'm going to get back into it and start making people smile
Great video Justin, we will however need an update on Doug and June’s bug family. Some critical points for sure, particularly sound and lighting. I use an iPhone, fairly early on I picked up a $30 lav mic, a cheap tripod and then eventually some cheap lights. It’s not perfect but works like a peach.
Couple of other things: clean up the background for shots - drives me nuts when people have trash, random detritus and crap in the shots, personality is key - be yourself and genuine but realize that you’re talking to people even if you’re literally standing alone in front of a camera, not always an easy task to accomplish. Also don’t apologize and make excuses constantly, this isn’t an absolute, but people do want to watch someone who has confidence in what they’re doing and who knows you may be pointing out something they wouldn’t have noticed.
Just start with what ya got and focus on continually improving, then after time buy gear when you’re ready for it.
Cheers!
Great advice! A few of those things were actually on my list but I ran out of time. I've reshot entire scenes because of the pooper scooper in the background. lol. Thank you for watching.
Excellent comment from @Pickles BBQ.
Now this was a great informative video. This is exactly what I needed to hear. I’m going to start making content on my channel, (just waiting for my LSG 24x60 offset to arrive). Thanks Justin 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Glad you found it helpful! Good luck with your channel.
HELL YEAH! 🤘EJ is the best!
Love that guy!
Great tips, Justin. My neighbor wanted to start a channel after finding success Instagram Reels. I told her to just hit record and learn as she goes. People are too afraid to mess up. You will and I do all the time!
Yeah, I always tell people you need to make that first video so you'll have something to cringe laugh at later. lol. have a great week, Ryan
Thanks Justin I'm a newbie and still dealing with crap this will help. My biggest thing outside of the uhm ah I don't look at the camera all the time in playback when its to late I catch myself eyes wondering else where. Thanks again
Both of those things are 1) not as bad as they feel when you are criticizing your own work and 2) get better with time. Thanks for watching.
@@BabyBackManiac Will do time is an issue for me I've worked on it some the past three vids 3rd releases next week. Thank You Justin
Thanks for the advice.
You bet!
Justin you rock brotha.. iPhones are the best on doing a video. I know a lot of youtubers that uses iphones.
Yeah, me too. It shouldn't be a limiting factor to somebody starting
@@BabyBackManiac true that brotha, keep up the good work..
i did my first video on youtube with a 25 dollar walmart phone. my editing is crappy lol but my youtube channel is for fun not money, even know now i am getting paid for it. i always loved your video skills
Thanks Scotty. I think that's the best way to do it!
Great advice. I'd follow it, but between BBQ and woodworking, I already have hobbies that eat up all my money and time.
lol. Thanks for watching.
Great tips my friend 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Weber just released their 70th anniversary kettles today so you better jump on it before they’re gone I got the hot rod yellow! I wish I would’ve known about the glen blue 26 came out but I missed out!
Off topic, but what is your current collection of grills these days? I don’t see some of those older kettles and Kamados anymore. Are they lonely? Sad? I hope not. Thanks!
great video, miss your you n me type videos, I have a i10 phone would that work?
Absolutely. I shot a TON of content with an 8. Have fun with it!
@@BabyBackManiac thx I'll try.
I've thought about making some videos for family. Doing the things that everyone wants me to cook when we get together. Might be fun, but how do you get past looking at or listening to your self on a video?
LOL. You don't. You just feel like a moron for a while (I'll let you know when that feeling goes away.) ha
My iPhone 13 shoots as good if not better than my two $3,000 cameras. The sharpness and colors are amazing. I use the iPhone a lot for slow motion B-roll. I use a Zoom H1 mic, don't use the lapel mic anymore, but keep the mic on a tripod close but out of frame so it doesn't show on video. As far as lighting, cloudy days and shade are best. 100%. For sexy food shots, nothing beats sunset. And yes, CJ needs to pull his head up in the frame!!!! Come on, man!
Thanks for all of this tips I am one of the guys that I am afraid to do a video because I don know all of these thanks again also if you can do a video about how to edit a video it will help me an I am sure some other guys like me god bless you and your family
i have a weber jumbo joe and weber go anywhere.
any suggestions for new grates for both?
the cooking grates keep rusting.
What would you recommend for a beginner that is filming on their phone how to edit?
Start with imovie. It's free and easy. If you want to move up, look into an app called LumaFusion. It violates my "Don't spend money" advice but it's an incredibly good deal for what they are asking.
But start with imovie and get your feet wet. You may never need to upgrade.
@@BabyBackManiac awesome thank you for the advice
Good morning☕
Good morning
If you’re using an iPhone, why not wireless airbuds for mic?
airbuds were on my list but I just ran out of time.
Wireless earbuds only work for recording video on 3rd party apps like filmic pro. Sadly they won’t work with the native camera app.
@@mdboatbum Yeah, Filmic Pro is another thing I didn't have time to squeeze into the video. lol. May need to do another video.
Blue tooth mikes drop the signal more than the other kinds. It works ok in a pinch but you need filmic pro.
Pick, scratch, swat😉
As a person that has watched MANY cooking videos I don't see how people would want to see another " newbie" doing a brisket, or pulled pork or chicken etc. I watch you, Chud's, Troy, Rye, Smokey ribs, The Gallery and many others and I don't see how a video from me would do anything else to keep people interested even if it it is good. I also see how some of you get sponsored. I am not trying to be negative, but I don't want to extend the effort on deaf ears and eyes.
On some level the process of making videos has to be it's own reward at it's core. It's really not about the brisket.
[5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed GOD bletss you Brother
Lol its way harder to do a video than to judge one and says I would have done that way... I tried it.
for real! lol
Whatever you do don't film in portrait mode. It ruins the whole experience.
yep!
Every video on my channel is shot on my iPhone lol
What are your Favorite BBQ Tools
I've been interested, now that I'm starting a new career.
We'll see?
Thanks again for the videos!

Have fun with it!
Justin your timing on this video is fantastic. I have been great at making excuses for over a year now on getting started. I recently made the decision to put something out no matter how bad by the end of May and I'm holding to it. You made some great points. You mentioned something interesting about the algorithm that it won't recommend your video unless it has some BBQ in it when doing a video like this ( please do more of these types of videos 😀) This concerns me because after I get a couple of vids under my belt I intend to do some "catch and cooks" videos. Start with a short salmon fishing or crabbing etc then finish with the cook. I have seen some channels do very well with that format. The algorithm doesn't seem to mind. Could you explain why that is? I know that question is probably like asking why a dog licks himself, because he can ( sorry, couldn't help myself) Anyway I hope you do more of this. I know I'll be watching. Sir, have a great day and I'm going to re watch this a couple of times. 🌤👍😄
Basically the channel cuts ruts and each one has it's own DNA of what the algorithm wants.
Part of it is because you attract an audience interested in certain things (so if you go off topic, you are targeting the wrong viewers.) But the bigger part is youtube doesn't recommend it to other audiences.
So a video like this would do well on a channel devoted to making youtube videos, but this will be my worst video ever. (not exaggerating...It's WAY off topic.) even though it has some really good information for someone starting out. Here most of my subscribers will never even get a chance to see it. They will just think I'm taking time off. (This is why people don't go off topic.)
This is that struggle I was talking about a few videos back. This is how they box you in. However I decided "Screw it" and did it anyways because I know it will help and I want to give back.
@@BabyBackManiac let me see if I got this right. So if my channel and videos are mostly about cooking, mostly BBQ and outdoor cooking and I occasionally add in a little fishing, crabbing, grabbing some vegetables or herbs from the garden in the beginning but finish mostly with the cooking that's not going to confuse the algorithm, at least not to much,right? (I know a sentence should never be that long but hey it's me, I ALWAYS go long 😁.) So FYI, my channel is going to be about only two things and I'm not sure if folks OR the algorithm will see it. Food and people. Lots of things on food, growing, harvesting, catching, cooking. But people will be taking folks fishing ( yup including salmon) claming,crabbing, mushroom hunting. But also sitting down and enjoying the food. I need to find a way it doesn't confuse the algorithm. For the viewers it won't be confusing. It will simply be entertaining and educational. Thanks for your help. Very much appreciated. Oh, do you have a suggestion on that microphone you used attached to your shirt in the video. I agree about audio, it needs to be done well. No point in watching someone who you can't hear clearly.
@@victorbenner539 I think a better way of looking at it is like raising a kid. You try out lots of stuff and see what hits. If it's sports and not guitar, you'll eventually stop trying guitar...even if YOU really like guitar. If you kid has more potential in sports, everyone will be happier if you support that. And if the second kid likes guitar, it works the other way.
Just try everything you are interested in and see what works best. Eventually you find stuff you are interested in may not work for the channel...but you'll do it occasionally anyways because YOU like doing it. (That's what I did today.)
The mic I was using is called Rode Wireless Go 2. Link in the description if you want to check it out. Good luck with your channel. Send me a note when you post your first video.
@@BabyBackManiac Thank you so much. Here's the approach I'm taking on you tube. Bare with me here a moment. A few years ago I saw a interview of Mr Clint Clint Eastwood. He was asked how much longer he was going to keep working. Well he smiled and replied saying " as long as it's still fun". Wise words. Do I want to reach out to as many people as possible, heck yes. But only so I can help others. Justin I'll share something with you. I'm a bachelor, never married, probably never will. I'll be turning 63 in a few days so the chance of having any kids at this point ain't looking good, right? And yet I feel a responsibility to hand down the knowledge that has been handed down to and the knowledge and experience I have had during my life time to others. It is a dept we all have to of those going into the future. My grandfather first started teaching me how to Grill a steak when I was about 5 years old. At that time he also got me interested in fishing and gardening. He passed away about 15 years ago and I still miss him very much. So this channel will be for me a tribute to him. I actually still have the grill he taught me how to grill ( it's older then me and will eventually be in a video) He was WAY ahead of his time. We still have the Kamado cooker he had brought over by a American airmen in the airforce from Japan. It's a little over 50 years old. I remember the day he got it. He did a smoked turkey on it that Thanksgiving. If you ever get up here for some salmon fishing I'll show you it. I have so many stories to tell. I'm really looking forward to sharing those stories. If you got to end of this long response thank you. Have a great day and may God bless you and your family. 🌤🙏
@@victorbenner539 Sounds like you have to make a channel, Victor, you really don't have a choice. :-)
Lots of great information in this video Thank you Frank from montana....
