My YouTube channel

I watch a lot of YouTube Since we don’t have (because we don’t want) tv. what I watch seems to fall into several categories, alternative financial, end of the world crap, winter survival videos, how to fix stuff videos And some cooking shows. Since fishing isn’t something I generally watch I am going to keep my comme mostly related to the structure of the videos. Keep in mind that some of what I comment will involve personal preference.
First of all, thanks for not putting hooters in your thumbnails.
I don’t give new channels a lot of chance so something has to grab me fast. If someone tells me on a fishing video that they are getting skunked on the video and the first 3-4 minutes shows a fast forward of getting the boat ready I’m moving on. There either needs to be some of the best content you have in the first 30 seconds, even if it’s only a shameless tease that gets paid off later. I tend to be much more frequent on channels where the character is engaging, even if not my favorite subject matter I will often watch if the presenter makes good eye/camera contact, is witty, knowledgeable and highly skilled. Build excitement, interest, build the audience towards seeing a conclusion to something. Show your failures but make sure 80% of what you do is successful, nobody wants to just watch someone screw up all the time, it’s painful. On fishing videos you need to catch fish. alienating potential down the road sponsors such as your battery charger vendor isn’t the best business strategy, just say you had a problem and their customer service was amazing in addressing it.
best of luck.
