To people wondering, the glitch when used artistically is called datamoshing and it's possible to create on purpose already. Very cool visuals come out of it!

[@ACOnetwork]

Hesitate ... hmmm ... I remember, when I watched YT videos one day and idea of making videos came up. Week passed, should I start or not, and I started preparing stuff for making the videos even while I was unsure about it.

I have twitch, gaming videos on here, in the midst of setting up another channel for cooking as well. (another passion of mine). I owe a lot of the inspiration to start this to a friend but a lot of the advice and knowledge I have gained has come from your videos. Just wanted to say thankyou for making these, what you're doing is unreal.

"Don't hesitate" Is the best advice for me in this video. I have been putting it off for months when I really wanted to do it. Yesterday I finally made my first video due to watching this so thank you! The process was fun even if results don't come with it! :)

[@TechnoTim]

Thank you. I’ve incorporated everything you guys have mentioned in most of your videos and it’s paying off. From creating KZbin content to finding my voice to 1 video a week. - it works. I’d also add “stay as niche as you possibly can until you outgrow your niche.” I can’t say thank you enough. ☮️❤️ and 🚀

[@TheBulletSponges]

Some really sound advice here. We are currently on that 'Click that upload button' stage and have enjoyed and learnt so much from every upload, we even have a fan! Incorporating KZbin/Twitch is a little daunting but as you say hesitation can become a huge barrier to taking your first step. The psychology behind video titles was really interesting. I hope people can take these ideas and really build communities and reach their goals!

[@twintowersen]

Hi. How's your channel (ts mystic) going?

[@GabzitoHD]

What are your thoughts on youtube punishing content creators who advertise their Twitch stream on youtube? It makes sense since KZbin doesn't want people to leave their website for a competitor. I don't know how much it affects and I could be wrong but ever since I started promoting my Twitch on youtube regularly, I've seen an insane drop in traffic on youtube.

[@ggShini]

Ah yes those tips, there's so many of them though, which ones?

[@TheAmateurLifestyle]

@Alpha Gaming. I absolutely love your videos about twitch and KZbin. Backstory: I started streaming about a year ago. After a month I actually had 15 people watching me regularly when I did stream. I had the full intention of making you tube videos. I needed to take time off, and I decided this time before I go back I would start making KZbin videos too. Your channel convinced me to get my gaming KZbin channel up and running first before I start going live on twitch. I can’t dedicate a lot of time streaming yet anyways so I’m focused on getting it all set up. Getting logos, overlays, intros for my KZbin, I’m recording the gaming stuff and preparing for when I have time to become more dedicated. So yeah. Back your video. I would like to comment on your discussion about B-roll footage. I agree, but honestly I am in this huge learning phase. I listen to video upon video on tips, tricks etc while I’m at work. So I can’t always watch the screen. What engages me is people like you who can explain in such great detail what you’re talking about I can feel engaged, and I can visualize what you’re saying. The only thing I partially disagree with is the idea of “don’t worry about what you have just record and put it up”. I have to disagree kind of. I did that with my vlogging channel and was extremely unhappy. So unhappy I haven’t vlogged in two years. It made me realize I was lacking elements. Now that doesn’t mean don’t record. I would say record record and record. I think it’s best to have a list or a “checklist” of required standards your videos should have. If it meets those standards put it up. You will get better as you go I agree. However, I think you should have a standard first. This way when you release a video you know you’re going to be happy with it.

[@ImCyth]

Hesitation. Took the words right out of me , I love KZbin but I lost what I wanted to make . Every time I record something I fear uploading it because of the thought of thinking “does this video suck “ “is anyone going to click “ and many more thoughts . I just want to say thank you for opening my eyes.

[@Knight_ly]

First time viewer and wow, i can't believe I didn't discover your channel sooner! Video was packed full of value and I appreciate how well spoken you were! Subbed with no hesitation

[@christophersonawane]

What are you thoughts on beginners streaming on KZbin? Would you recommend it? Why or why not?

[@BenyQuinonez]

I think he said it’s easier because the algorithm is better. Otherwise the same applies because if you have even a small audience on a different platform or encourage friends and family you can bring them to your KZbin stream and it would grow like that too.

[@Kryex]

I've been streaming on KZbin for a little while and I have been back and forth on Twitch and KZbin. Personally for monetization Twitch is better but for discoverability, KZbin is the way to go if you're wanting to grow your audience.

[@sinquistic8840]

I'll tell you after a while lol.

You know what, Harris? You're absolutely right. My issue isn't my camera, lightning, or even audio. This past year, I've gotten into streaming a lot more and see myself growing everyday, little by little, one new follower at a time. And of course I've heard you say I need KZbin (or some other content outside of Twitch) a bazillion times. It's a meme at this point lol. And I plan to do that. But you hit the nail on the head with the Hesitation point. That is 100% my problem. If my ideas aren't good enough, that's okay. I'm sure someone will enjoy it. I think we can all start somewhere.

[@dragngrindgaming]

I'm not sick of you saying it. Facts are facts. What bugs me is I spend sooo much time and feel like my production is never solid enough....hesitation i'm sure. The thing that complicates it for me is how to write, record/breakdown, and PROPERLY edit/present my VIDEO GAME information. I prefer to do tutorial videos and it feels it takes so much time, effort, and trial and error just to get out a simple video....and then that video is 20-30 minutes minimum. Which isn't the "suggested length". So many rules to adhere to and I feel lost. Thanks for this. I definitely picked up some tips and am rewatching endlessly just as motivation as a prep a stream game I created for my game. Kudos m8

[@StrawbunnySystem]

"don't hesitate" so true. i started posting on yt in like 2012, making really REALLY bad cringey weeb content. I amassed about 20k subs within 6 months, as i was consistantly posting. the stuff i was posting wasn't the best it could have been. but it was out there- so people could see it. then the amount of subs i had got to my brain- i started posting less and less because i was worried about making really quality content as opposed to content i found fun to make. i went from posting 4-5 times a month to 2-3 times a year. i lost pretty much 100% of my audience because i started hesitating SO much. i constantly make the joke that i'm always working on youtube- for every video i post, there's 10 that i filmed and edited and didn't put up because i hesitated on their quality. i wish your advice was around when i was 15 making youtube videos in my bedroom. lol

Sean Cannel from Think Media always says punch fear in the face. As someone who should and could have started streaming and making KZbin content years ago, but was too self conscious, I feel this. You can do it! Just crank that content out.

I just watched Sams's video. As i said in his comments, the quality of your videos is some of the best around by far. He is definitely the wizard behind the curtain, but you're the face of it all! It's very overwhelming thinking about doing all of this. I only started my channel 2 weeks ago because my 8yr autistic son wants to be a KZbinr more than anything else. So I thought I would try first to lead by example as he doesn't take knock backs very well. So here I go... Plus it's an reason to relive my childhood and play games with a real excuse

[@markhunt9643]

I think the hesitation point is the one that hits home the most, I've thought about starting a channel in the past many times to just get involved within the communities I enjoy and meet new individuals yet I've always put it off due to hesitation. The fear of failing, the comparisons of quality and just all the negative headspace that intrudes your thoughts telling you why you aren't good enough. But then I just go onto random channels and I go to their oldest video, you begin to realize at one point everybody had the same fleeting sentiments and doubt. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is learning a new skill such as editing and applying that skill into different facets. Yet you won't get anywhere with it until you just do it and taking it day by day as you slowly but surely improve your quality, your knowledge on editing, your personality and presence whether it be on camera or just through a microphone.

[@spencerhoffman6374]

There's this creator named struthless that I think has the perfect piece of advice here. He's an artist, but I think this applies to anything creative, including videos: "Draw the same thing every single day." What this means is pick a topic, even if it doesn't feel perfect, and just make stuff consistently in that vein. Add bricks to ONE house for a year and you'll see your progress. What happened in his case is he got really bored of drawing ibises (his chosen topic) but he stayed committed, and figured out a spin he could put on his topic to make the process more interesting. Let's say you started making videos about The Legend of Zelda every single week. But eventually you got really bored of doing just Zelda gameplays. So one day you decide to make a video about "what if [Game X] had Zelda logic?" and you like the way that feels. So then you start making videos applying Zelda logic to other games. Random example but I think it makes the point.

Study MrBeast. His thumbnails can all be explained in a simple, yet compelling sentence. Basically your thumbnail should be a visual synopsis of what your video offers-- a summary that sells the content rather than just summarizing it.

[@mfidino7198]

@@twintowersen I like my channel and enjoy what I am making. It is very new but I finally got the courage to upload my first few videos.

[@einShawn]

My biggest problem is that I don't know what type of content I want to do but your point about hesitation and that just doing it will help find the right type of content motivated me to finally start. thank you

[@Grifnix]

I can truly say that you just motivated me even more to get started. Thank you.

[@tomferenc2520]

yeah i need this too !

I started making KZbin videos a full year before I started on Twitch. It has benefitted me incredibly. Find a niche, make videos for it, continue to improve. Work on your branding! IT ACTUALLY WORKS! I've been on Twitch for 2 months, I'm already making some money, affiliated, and gaining followers everyday without streaming.

I really like the tip given wrt Audio/Lighting - defo agree (and I need to work on this ...). And also talking about Hesitation. I was reluctant before I made my channel and recently became hesitant again. But the advice and reminder given has put a smile on my face. Thank you!

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Duuude! The 6000$ camera setup with bad audio and lighting example was brutal🤣 thanks for the wake up call, awesome content!

[@SillyBeagleDog]

Those are awesome tips. I’m still making videos with my iPhone but I am definitely going to look into better lighting and a mic 🎙🙌

[@tonkatsucrossing8704]

I started making videos because of your advice on your twitch videos and now I love editing and making KZbin more than twitch!

[@jazzandagaming6204]

Proud to be part of the 1% who started making KZbin videos :-) Not getting me far, but hey, learning lots from you dude.

[@UndeadNuclearGamer]

9:05 That was by far the smartest and subtlest example of audio vs video awareness I have ever seen. GG dude, GG.

[@williamdarby9412]

during lockdown i have been considering doing some streaming and content release but havent found the confidence to add my face to a web cam am an older guy that likes gaming but watching harris and his content tips and trick gave me the push to release my first video with my pro clubs team to test how it would do done this yestarday and would like to personally thank him knowing i will grow in confidence so thank you soo much harris mate i will continue to watch and learn

[@duh_bouch4682]

This was actually the first REAL helpful video I’ve seen so far overall with the examples to hearing “audio and lighting” is more important never actually understood that 🤷‍♂️ thank you!

[@paulwalther5237]

You make it sound like people are looking to make a career out of KZbin or Twitch but I’m super casual. I just blog about my hobbies on KZbin. Your videos are interesting and fun to watch for a variety of viewers I think.

[@KaffeeAura]

Thank you so much senpai gaming, ur tips on making KZbin vids have really helped me

[@connorolney2815]

Thanks Harris! Keep it up much appreciated for all your content!!

[@drewbienor]

I think its awesome you said that you should use youtube to grow your twitch. I enjoy making videos I enjoy looking back on them. My friends actually enjoy them and thats a huge value for me. I will start streaming a bit, but thats only to advertise my channel to potential new viewers for my youtube channel. I never found streaming to be quite as rewarding to me if that makes sense. Just the whole process of youtube is nice and its fun to see your video just increasing in views after putting it out there overtime. Btw great video. I became a big Elgato fan because of you.

[@terryoneal9925]

The only honest info out there. Learned a bunch from these videos. Keep up the good work!

[@OlympianHydra]
