I started posting YT videos about 5 months ago; figured I was going to be turning wrenches anyway, why not film it and post it? Anyway, I've had a lot of fun with it, and while filming and editing can be a real time suck, posting videos does keep me on track. I certainly don't want my viewers to think that I'm some douchebag who can't finish a project.
Anyway, figured there's a few YouTubers in the group, and likely a bunch who also watch YT videos. If so, curious to hear if anyone has any tips or pointers.
What I have realized so far -
-You don't need a lot of expensive gear to produce good videos.
-Audio quality is paramount; more important that video quality.
-For every 20-30 minute video I post, I likely spend 5 or so hours editing.
-I really can't predict what videos will do well and what will fall flat.
-I think the average amount of time from start until monetization is about 12 months. I'm on track to hit that on/about 1 January 2023.
-You don't need to find an L88 Corvette barn find to have success.
