Happy birthday my dude!! For the record if someone sends me a raven I will do a collab with them.
I mean I think I would too LOL
Holly shit !!! I CANT imagine how a collab bt this two monsters will look like. AWSOME thats for sure
Truth 😂
Just sent out my raven I guess it will take a couple of days from Europe but it will be well worth it haha ;) love your content Matt :)
Thanks for the tips, I appreciate all of our hypothetical one on one conversations. 😁👍🏽 Happy Birthday 🥳

9:28 Don't ask for shoutouts
Hey...karl,do u also watch pete's videos🤩
Video Summary:
5 things i wish i knew when i started a TH-cam Channel
1:27 Don't obsess over the numbers: It will drive you crazy
2:21 Do it for the right reasons Or don't do it at all
3:57 You don't need a PRO setup: Start in your bedroom
7:40 Titles & Thumbnails are Everything: Give people a reason to click

11:08 You need good light + audio: Good Microphone > Good Camera
"If you're on TH-cam, welcome to the club. You're a filmmaker"
LOVE THIS!
We still don't consider ourselves filmmakers; we just make fancy home videos lol
Hahaha
Yup!
Some of us (umm... me?) just have super basic editing skills...
It honestly depends entirely on what type of channel you're producing. Lots of channels either don't, or rarely use even a face cam.
As a 70+ guy, TH-cam has given me a hobby that totally fills my days with learning, testing, filming, audio, ...its just great ... certainly keeps you going. Have nearly a 100 videos up now. Some vids I'm happy with some I'm not, but I keep trying to learn and acquire new skills. It's just a great experience and will leave a legacy for my family and friends.
Thats amazing keep it up! You will get there
Wow I thought I was getting to old to start a channel..... what a dumb thought. Thanks for the motivation dude
That's amazing ngl, keep it up
Thinking the same thing at age 63, I am to old to start. Thank you , and much success.
Good on ya. You are a great inspiration.
"There's nothing more satisfying..." than this colour grade. I mean, damn! HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY! Also, that cardigan looks SO comfortable, I need it 😭
I was called an influencer the other day and I got chills. Not the good kind, lol.
This cardigan is like wearing a hug from all your friends and family, all day long
Happy birthday, love your videos and the spirit, it does help a lot
Who all here in 2020 still? Hope you are still pushing toward your goals and building up your TH-cam or side hustles
Natalie Perri thank you🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼!
Yasss
Thank you 😊 and same to you and everyone else.
yesssss! Don't give up!

There’s a value on your talk really appreciate every bit of it as a new YTrs! Thanks for your advice! I’ll subs to u for being so genuinely honest when u started.
Belated Happy Birthday! Your video was suggested to me 8 months after your birthday!
And thank you for this video! May God bless you always!!!
So inspiring!
It’s just you bud. Your charisma is the main reason you blew up, you’re a cool dude and good to listen to. Awesome content as well.
Yuuuuppp👍🏻
Charisma is 120% of the battle
I'm f*cked
First time I'm listening to him and he feels so transparent ♥️
Yea look at us😂
Just wanna say Thank you man.
You've made it feel possible to do the impossible for a lot of people, myself included.
Loved the thumbnail & title tip, it's sure as hell the most important things to get views.
You are a huge inspiration my dude, thank you for everything so far and i'm looking forward to what's to come.
Oh, and happy birthday!
Happy birthday Pet! Awesome tips! Thank you very much!
I've seen a bunch of your videos and I love your work and the one that you put it to it.
It happens that I'm seeing this video exactly one year after you posted it. With that being said , Peter Happy birthday I wish you the best of luck and don't you dare stop doing this videos, because they helped me a lot to fed my little monster that lives inside of me which loves photography and cinematography.
Cheers man!

Thank you very much for sharing this video! The last part was the best. If you are getting onto you-tube you are now a film maker....Gave me chills!
Happy, multi-year belated, Birthday! I'm sure you'll have another one closer to this time lol. Thanks for the videos McKinnon, they are always very helpful and entertaining, quality stuff!
If you're starting a youtube. Welcome to the club, you're a filmmaker.
Daniel Luedtke haha oh Thank you 🤣
Having a channel doesn't make you a filmmaker
Don't thinks so Daniel...As someone who has made a 'film' its a completely different ballgame
Film maker | Photographer | Director | Camera man | Editing | Graphic Design | etc. It requires to wear a lot of hats to be a TH-camr
cool :p
Happy bday King. Thank you for sharing your wisdom us. 🙏🙏🙏
Really inspirational!! You seem like a down to earth dude, and I have been making videos a ton but I am fairly new to this world and I am trying to learn as I go but it can be overwhelming and frustrating, the tip about not watching the numbers and just doing what you love hits home! Thank you for all the wonderful content, I watch a lot of your stuff and it’s really well done and super entertaining!! Thank you for all your hard work and passion!! Happy birthday buddy!
"Function is secondary, looking good is primary." I couldn't agree more. Also happy birthday!
Corban LaFon thats why people like android over iphone
@@ehrarbose5600 So true. That's why I have an iphone!
Corban LaFon what?
That's basically what is wrong with the world.
Welcome to the Instagram era.
@@livinlicious Way to bring down the room lol
Congrats on all your success and happy birthday!! Killing the game!
you re just so awesome! can't thank you enough for all your content and positivity!!!you re the best! wish you enormous success!!!
Happy birthday for last month bro!! i absolutely love your content! Learning heaps from you
I watched you grow since you started I really am proud of your success and wish you more.
Happy birthday 🎉
Happy Birthday bud! Thanks for all the awesome content over the years. I've learned a lot from your videos and incorporated that into my own content when I can.
Love watching and learning from you AND SO ENTERTAINING!! Much thanks Peter!!!
Thank you for all you do, I really enjoy your videos. This video hit right on point with me, as I'm just starting out and I pretty much have the basics. Saying that, you made me feel real positive and gave me confidence about creating content to get out to everyone, thank you and I wish you much more success.
“Welcome to the Club, You’re a Filmmaker.” Now That is gold right there. As challenging as the YT journey is, that’s pretty incredible to hear out loud. Thank you for the tips and Happy Birthday!
Loved that line as well!
I really like these videos Peter! Enjoy your birthday!
Thanks! Im never really quite sure if people like them! haha Good to know! Cause I like them!
@@PeterMcKinnon Thats how it`s done! Just create content you really want to create. It`s impossible to make everyone happy.
BTW: I would love to see an updated Behind The Scenes Version of how you create these Videos (Preparation, Setup, Recording...)
I "officially" started my channel like two days ago. Such great advice! Bringing peace to people (in this world) is my most sincere reason for being on here.
This video is months old now... but it's the first time I'm coming to it and I NEEDED this message today!!! Love your heart, Peter.
Happy Belated Birthday Pete, learnt a lot from you over the years and still learning till today. Keep up the great content 🎥💯
Awesome advice dude, I couldn't agree more with you! As a "creator" it makes so much sense to have an honest conversation with myself and even though it may be difficult, admit my shortcomings, be modest about where I can improve and then get back to work! Thanks for the awesome advice, stoked to see what you have for all of us in the future! 🤘
Wow, I really needed this. What a great, honest video. Thank you so much!
Thanks Pete....😁
Guelph Ontario, love making family vids for everyone to see. During Covid-19 we see Mom and Dad but not in the ways we were used to, great to have youtibe to share our memories and fun times together as a family.

Happy birthday Peter! My daughter was born this morning!
Congratulations, welcome to the brotherhood of fools aka dads with daughters. Those little heart stealers.
Congratulations man! 🙌🏼
Congrats dude!!!!!
Congratulations!
Thanks everyone!
Thank you fort this. Mega helpful on so many levels. Your design sensibility is just excellent.
Happy Belated Birthday PETE from almost a year later! You're amazing!
Truly one of the best on the platform! Such a great message, gives me confidence to get after it! Thank you for what you do! And happy belated!

@@DavidDanielPierce Lighten up, Francis. He's mimicking Peter's dry sense of humor.
Love your stuff sir! Thank you for a little inspiration and clarity.
This has been the most help video thus far.... by far! and happy (very) belated birthday! Cooking you and your family dinner soon.
I definitely think that getting over the "I am not a film maker" vibe is pretty important. You gotta full send on it!
Happy Birthday man!
You're not a filmmaker unless you make film.
Peter: Don't ask for shout outs.
Also Peter: WISH ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Lol Happy Birthday Peter!
hahaha....nice one
Exactly what I thought - I think the key is Pete does it with humour and class, not neediness ;)
This are the type of videos i watch for inspiration!! Thanks my man 👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 love your content!!
Wow, I've been going over different videos the whole day on all about some tips and experiences of content creators, and this by far has been the most interesting video by far! I looked over big (as in BIG channels) but this is KING! I love your idea on how you made this video :) thank you very much!
Solid advice, I wish I would’ve known a lot of this in the beginning
everywhere i go i always see U phuc map =)))an amazing thing =)))
@@hiense2348 mình vui bạn thấy như vậy
Lol I’m in the beginning
2017 Peter : Look at that half framed photo frame behind
2019 Peter : frames the Matti & Pete sign one sidedly
Yeah I noticed that too lol!
That’s the hidden secret. Half framed wall art.
The poster frame behind him in the 2017 video was too big and was awkwardly cut off frame. The Matti & Pete sign is slightly offset but it's not cut from the frame which is more aesthetically pleasing than the 2017 video.
I was gonna comment this 😂😂
@@finnillson4808 Yep... That as it right there and it was an Easter egg.
Happy birthday bro
thanks, bro. what a great tips and kind of you bringing this to us. stay safe everyone out there!
Film is dooooooooooope :) Thanks for all positive energy, Peter, lot's of tips, tricks and overall great channel!!!!!!
Peter is the type of guy you know you'd get along with at a BBQ.
Your intros are always so dope! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Peter!
This is the first of your videos I am watching!
I remember finding you in late 2016, around December I think. I got into doing videos for my yearbook class (like ads and announcements.) I was looking up tutorials to make my videos better and more entertaining so students wouldn't be bored when watching the video in class. I was so excited to find you and follow your tutorials for my videos in the class. I was telling everyone around me, classmates, my teacher, just about anyone who was interested. I was always into photography and kinda interested in video, but never did much with either. You inspired me to try to follow photo and video because of your photos and the insane videos you make. So thanks for starting TH-cam or I would have never found you :)
*Happy Birthday Pete* 🥳🎂🎈✨
*Wish you a many many happy returns of the day🙈*
Happy Birthday!
This was so helpful.
Solid advice Pete and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy b day!! I’m probably late but I hope you had a great day,
. The fact that your still doing a vid on your video is amazing, you give even when you should be given stuff. Have a good one
Personally, I love watching TH-cam videos shot in simple authentic settings much more than fancy professional studios. If I want all that, I would be watching tv. The charm of authentic youtubers is that they and their surroundings are authentic! Thanks Peter! I love your home studio sets! oh and happy belated birthday!
Finally! a video that gives everyone the right motivation and at the same time a hard truth on being a youtuber. What is so unique on this video is that it came from someone who grew up so fast doing everything on his own way! Belated Happy birthday to you, one of my favorite youtuber! God bless you man! keep on posting awesome content.
This dude has a huge personality and communication skills it’s so catchy and plugs you in on every video!!! New fan here btw👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the tips, I just started, I'm just making videos to help other people but I already caught myself looking at the stats multiple times a day and thinking I need better equipment... And I really just, just started.... Already need to remind myself why I started. So thanks for the tips again.
First, a late happy birthday! You are the best.
Second "the pillow, the youtube playbutton pillow do we have that, I need that!" cracked me up so good :D
Happy birthday bro. love your energy
Great insight Peter. I always enjoy watching your videos. You have such great character and are always entertaining!
There's truly a lot to learn from your experience, thank you for sharing despite it is not as much on brand with your channel!

I laughed hard on this one! 😂
Totally. who's got time for that.
Happy Birthday in the middle of MAY!!!!! :D. All this advice in this video is a great reminder of how to do this! I have 2 channels and need to up my game ASAP!!!
Just love your work, Peter. Such an inspiration, thanks!
Happy birthday Pete!!
"Function is secondary, looking good is primary" Hahahaha!!
Love the hair man. Hope you have a wonderful day.
I wished you in advance in the last video itself! Happy Birthday again legend!
This is exactly the video I needed to watch to get me on track. Thank you Peter!
Happy Birthday!🥳👏🏼💖 & Thanks for all the amazing reassuring tips! 🎥 ✨🙏🏼
When you mentioned point number 3 you made me smile so much, am starting out on youtube, and with each video I notice how much improvement I've done in regards to my speeches and my setup hahaha.. thanks man, you gave me orientation.
AhmeDroid all the best to you 😊
I'm about a year or so into building my channel, love everything you're saying here. Thank you for this clear and direct message. See you in a few years when my channel blows up and stuff. :)
Grant Stinnett keep going man doing great so far! 🙌🏼
@@AndrewMclean Thanks Andrew!! :D
This is one of my favorite video in this channel. I comeback and watch it every couple monts.
Couple more days, the greatest day for all of us, watching your videos.
Happy Birthday 🎉🎊🎁
There's some really solid advice here, and it's great that most of the points apply to every type of content creator rather than just vloggers and filmmakers. I strongly believe that the key to success on TH-cam is to find something that you're passionate about and to put your entire heart into it, and I think Peter hit the nail right on the head with point 2 about doing it for the right reasons. Having an original concept or style is extremely beneficial as well, but if people can tell that you're passionate and putting in a ton of effort, then the views and subscribers will follow naturally. I started my channel during university with nothing but a laptop (not even a camera), but I spent 100+ hours on each video and people slowly started to take notice. Like Peter said, you don't need expensive equipment or software to get started in the beginning. You just need a solid idea, a bit of motivation, and some strong initiative!
Oh, and I almost forgot:
Happy Birthday, Peter! : )
Can we just appreciate the quailty of this video? The lighting is insane..
i feel like the whole frame should be like one thord of a stop darker, otherwise excellent
@@John69420 turn your screen down? 🤣
Just happen to see your vid, I love it, thank you so much 👍, & HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY may you enjoy the possibilities till your next
Keeping it real! Thanks for the tips and happy birthday!
I love how Peter talks about his mistakes and the behind the scenes of everything instead of all the fancy stuff. That's why we admire him as a creator 🎉 You inspire me to start my own youtube channel. Happy birthday
haha instead of the new bagpack, the polarpros, the merch, the sellfy stuff, the collabs.. true totally non profit :P
anyways - love his style too :)
Happy birthday Peter hope you “smashed it if that’s something you’re into” 😉
Happy belated birthday Peter. :) Thanks for sharing insights. I am new on YT and will try your tips.
Happy birthday 🎂. You kinda inspired me to take photos. Im learning photography from your videos. They are really helpful. I was debating to start a you tube channel for a little while. This video made it easy for me to decide. Thank you do much. Enjoy your birthday.
Happy birthday! Thank you for the inspiration as always!
PS - I’d do 50% less zoom cuts or whatever you’d call it. Got distracting half way through the vide
Great tips and for me its just a confirmation that im on the good track haha. Because i "follow" allready all the tips what you give by my self.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Thank you so much for this! Everyone suggesting how hard we need to work to get those numbers, this is what I actually needed🖤
Belated happy birthday man, you are awesome. I learned lightroom from you. Tysm 😇
Is it just me? That sweater looks comfy af.
Nah, mate...looks pretty damn comfy to me too. :D
Imagine a rainy day of autumn, staying at home wearing that while watching a movie, knowing you're enjoying a lovely bank holiday. Oh boy! 🤤
Link to buy it anyone?
