Why Foreigners (Like Me) Make Videos About India

I've been living in Kerala, India, for more than 6 years now and I agree, India INSPIRES me in ways that never happened in Finland (where I'm from). I also love making vlogs about my daily life and adventures in Kerala and that's so true that the hours spent making these videos is soooo much more than the CPM sort of rewards you with :D I just love sharing my life in India and connecting with others here! KZbin is not my primary income but I also teach yoga here and have been creating other content too. Love your videos, can't wait to see more! :) greetings from Trivandrum!

I guess it's the lack of too many red tapes socially, culturally and on personal level. People don't pretend to too much and somehow there is an order in the chaos.

[@thethirdenergy8152]

Yes, it will be a life-time experience to go through the 5-6 days of Kolkata Puja during Sep Oct period. If you are a creative person, it will definitely blow your mind to a very different level. Not many Indians have gone through this experience. Once I had this opportunity in 2018 and I will never forget. This culture and art can be presented to the whole world. We all know of Brazilian Carnaval but very few people know how grand, amazing event that Bengal goes through in those few days without much attention from outside world.

Hi Benjamin, what you say from 8:31 for the next 20 seconds is how I feel too. You're one of the few foreign KZbinrs actually living in India and trying to grow an audience through original, insightful content (not sitting at a table watching other people's videos) and I respect that. I know the feeling of watching other channels start later and grow bigger through less work, but we have to keep believing that people will find the value in our content too. :) Glad to see you channel has grown a lot since I last found it.

Respect benjamin.. Making content like this is time consuming and motivation at a certain level. Content Ideas:- 1. Involve more people around you who can share their experiences. 2. A weekly appearance might not gain you much popularity. 3. You can go on a Bike ride near any hil station or locality and do moto vlogs. 4. You can talk more about your life and share the experiences.

[@dr.heinzdoofenshmirtz4463]

If a foreigner has spent time in India or is living in India then he has a better knowledge of India and its culture. So their videos about India are better than those of simple reaction videos

[@AjitKumar-th7ed]

Many KZbinrs are smart they know that India has a potential to get large audience which can help them make money, how ever you are honest, you live in India and make videos than others sitting in other corner of the world making review videos.

Hey Ben = Couple of weeks back I moved to India from Sydney for three weeks and was working from home. My internet was perfect and with a latency number of 4 it was perfect. No issues for me. Of course it was Chennai. Even in India what you get matches to what you pay😀. Intenet services are not consistent across India but depending on the connection you have one gets amazing value and its 50 percent less cost for the same value you get in a developed country.
