I cannot emphasise the importance of this enough...
If you're looking for a life hack and a magical trick to get more views here are a few quick ones.
- Get a better mic. I have a hollyland lark m2, only costs around $100 and is ridiculously versatile but imo the best bang for your buck upgrade.
Before you upgrade your camera, upgrade your mic.
Shit audio = shit video = less views.
- Create A LOT OF STUFF even if you don't post it.
Practise every single day and you will improve rapidly. By just always being aware and thinking about it you'll have no choice but to improve. Work on your story telling, your editing, your paying, your scripting, your tonality, your comedic timing but just put in the work.
You'll learn quicker if you do a lot of work because more mistakes = more opportunities to improve.
- Make stuff you enjoy. Your viewers will feel your passion, your energy etc in your voice and they'll flock to it.
If you're uploading an 8 minute video of you gaming but 7 minutes of it is gameplay noise and nothing else don't be surprised when you get 4 views.
If you're making something entertaining about something you care about that people will actively be searching for over the course of the next ten years, its gunna go well for you.
- Nobody cares, work harder.
If you really want this, you have to put the fucking work in. No excuses, no time wasting, just get it done. Get better every day no matter how small the progress is and do not quit.
Okay thanks for reading, bye.
