CREATORS… Do This Before 2025

[@africanwildlifeonline]

Most valuable piece of advice - “what do you care about and work back from there” and something that I was told by my Mentor- be true to yourself and your beliefs, do not sell your soul, chasing views…. Thanks Jeven for honesty and being a good human being 🙏

I have my amateur kit together finally. GoPro7 Black, DJI Pocket 3 and a DJI Mini 4 Pro. I am setting a small goal for 2025. I want to create a small movie that becomes as famous as Blair Witch Project that was shot on a phone. LOL! I just have fun. I watch all of your videos on both channels. Keep up the great work.

Can’t wait to see the space finished. I need to take some time to see what my goals are for next year. Definately carry on with KZbin and build on the progress. But definately agree to simplify and streamline.

Congrats on the new house! Could you make a video focusing on the Active Dynamic Stabilization on the Sony A1 Mark II? That would be the deciding factor for me between the new A1 and the older version.

It’s easy to understand what you’re saying. It’s true for life in general let alone work. When you have time, I think a good video would be the process you go through when you do work for a client. Just set up a camera or two and then do a voice over so you don’t stop while doing your paid word. You could even do at your leisure. Just the whole process, concept to final delivery. Anyway, try to enjoy some peace. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and new year.

I love the power of the KZbin Jeven. Strangers that possibly will never meet up in person, though it is great to have a chance to learn from you who is much much further ahead in the journey than I am. The problems, issues, thoughts and being pulled to different directions are same for all of us I guess, no matter how far in our journeys we are. Recently, I've had an outlier video on my channel that kind of pulled me from the direction I want to take, and thougt immediately, what if I start a second channel focused on gear/tech/drones "how to for motovloggers". There's clearly a demand for that. But ... I started my first channel with the idea of doing documentaries, movies me travelling on my bike to different places - which proved challenging on many fronts too - similar reasons you mentioned in your videos reflecting back on your travel channel beginnings and transitioning it into your education channel here! I don't know if I can manage two channels though. And then your video here hits in hard, thanks 😀 I do run a few businesses on top, lots of client work too. So with that, my 2025 word will be FOCUS ... on 1 to three (max) important things I want to see significant growth in, ditch all the other activities. All in. Good luck with the studio set-up, Merry Christmas and all the best in 2025 when it comes!

I got WAY off track in 2024. The grad program I'm in really took up a lot more time than I initially thought it would. I'm hoping, since I graduate in May, I'll be able to recenter, get back on track, and start making the content I want to make again in 2025. I think recenter or focus will be good words for 2025. And love the new space. I would love to have something like that at my house, and I'm hoping once we get around to renovating the garage, I'll be able to have something stable.

[@ImageMaven]

Definitely time for me to take a step back and reset. Thanks for the nudge. Always love seeing your videos, no matter what you’re chatting about. Happy holidays.

Thanks again Jeven, listening and learning from you as always. From Liverpool, UK

[@JevenDovey]

Thanks for listening

[@efpdronefootage]

@@JevenDovey thank you even more for teaching

[@kuya_timmy]

Congrats on the new house! Love the advice on recentering

[@gracedbygod2854]

You got me thinking, Jeven. I was wondering how I want to approach 2025, and agree with your approach. Thanks!

[@kevgoes]

Good to see you!

[@BartoszRogowski]

I'm not sure if simplifying is the best choice for me, but it might be. I still struggle with regular uploads. Instagram is for some reason easier for me, stories are so casual. While KZbin videos are the best way to grow my channel (which I would love to do), but they also seem difficult to make. All the planning and setup are overwhelming. So in the end, maybe simplifying the whole system of content creation is the way to go.

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

Nice Jeven. HAven't had the time to be consistent lately, so started to drift. Still doing travel content, but weather not allowing time to go hiking lokaly and work taking me new places, so been more travel videos lately rather then hiking videos. maybe I should take a step back, and recenter my North Star. Looking forward to seeing the finished studio. Thank you for sharing, and take care. Time to reframe 🙂

[@MariahInMinneapolis]

I have the same problem with having two channels. They are both very small and pretty new. Now I just post on this main Channel. I am trying to follow my heart. ❤🎉

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

Many notes to think about. Glad you're doing well.

[@storybabble]

Appreciate your candid thoughts.

[@ValorMediaTN]

Appreciate this video

[@Mototherapy_online]

Thx once more for another advice 😉👍 Looking forward (from France) to seeing the new studio too 🤩

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Nice video 👍

[@JevenDovey]

Thanks for checking it out

[@ellisgrisham1117]

Also moving causes anxiety

[@GoldenK9Campers]

Thanks Jeven.. maybe I missed it.. but what was your word? Also.. seemed like a lot of jumpcuts, just for jumpcuts sake? I'm more appreciating videos that have no cuts at all. Wish I could do that without all the um's, so's and other silly transitional words.

[@ellisgrisham1117]

Yes my OLED turns everything (settings weird ) can not use a tv until final production

[@southernrainforest]

Good content Jeven, This year I deleted all my videos as I didn't like the direction my channel was heading, I had lost the passion of why I had started channel, "People perish without a vision' scenario. I have since started uploading again, but only when I am inspired and asking the? Does this video align with my vision for Channel., Merry Christmas

[@deep_dark_devil8194]

Bro used a old thumbnail... i remember because i save that on my playlist 😊

[@JevenDovey]

@@deep_dark_devil8194 you got me 😁

[@Chillax11]

Great video and also I will take that Oled from you if you are not using it 😂

[@JevenDovey]

I'm going to return it haha. Not worth the money for a monitor. The center is color accurate but both sides are green. Looks awful

[@joemzd]

@@JevenDovey Oh dang, that's too bad. I bet it's a bad panel.

[@beachy73]

Timely . I mentioned in the creator school that I'd been asked if I wanted to do a product review . Definitely decided not to . Resources like time these days are scarce. So I said thanks but no thanks . Good bit of advice there jeven cheers

[@vijovideo-johnnykicker]

✨️👍

[@adventurewithbernie]

Um....do what exactly? There was a huge amount going on here, it got a little confusing and distracting at times. Having said that, in 2025 I want to go down the over 50s path. Focus more on that. I am hoping feedback from viewers (if I get any), will help guide me as to what the older demographic wants from KZbin. And react accordingly. Well, that's part of it at least.
