How to BUILD a STRONG YouTube Channel! (Automotive)

[@DerekBaranProductions]

With being asked this question MANY of times, I had to try and help you out. Hope you all enjoyed!

[@austintreadway1959]

DerekBaranProductions I have a question. I have a 2003 mustang v6 is the v6 worth modding? Or move on to a new car?

[@jevinburgess7887]

Austin Treadway Personally I would move onto a v8. I have nothing wrong with v6s and many people make a lot of power with them but for power to $ ratio the v8 is worth it imo. Just my 2 cents.

[@austintreadway1959]

Ok thanks guys

[@willmorgan757]

This will help

[@HustlePaul]

Watching this video 3 years later and youre at 152k subscribers from 22k subscribers. Keep up the great work

[@CarsSimplified]

I really need to get a camera slide. Those shots always look so good. For anyone just starting out, a tripod is key, especially if you don't have a friend to film for you regularly.

[@MrBoostJapan]

I'm 3 years late but I saw this vid 3 years ago with aspirations of starting an automotive KZbin channel. After years of setting it aside, I've finally started💪Thank you 🙏

[@staggeredhorizons3657]

Killing it Derek! Great Advice. I remember last year when we both started. I am finally starting to get some things together and really dive in, to providing quality content consistently! Keep up the great work! Patience is definitely key!

[@8thGenLife]

Sick video Derek, nice color mustang too 😍🥶 new to the game wish me luck everyone !!💪🏽 best regards

[@ReyesBuilt]

Badass video brother ! Really good information to help me keep growing! 144 subs and counting, hopefully I can keep going. MUSTANG SQUAD WE OUT HERE.

[@JJay770]

Forgot happiness, money & imagination. By nature I'm a miserable person. My life is sleep, work repeat. Most successful youtubers are happy like you. Been trying KZbin for the last 3 years still working on 1000. It's hard work when you don't have the money or an imagination. Great video.

[@elstupido4686]

I’m in Virginia too, thought about starting a channel myself, with a 3v at first but that got totaled 😅 now I have a 08 GT500. Thanks for the tips and of course Subbed

[@cruzanity7478]

Consistency is the key & you provide that to your subcribers. Keep up the good work, bro 👍

[@ALLCYLINDERSTV]

Good stuff man! Congrats on the success, your channel really blew up! Keep it up!

[@ShayneJdm]

I was planning to start a automotive youtube channel right after I graduate from high school, this really helped a lot.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Thank you for the advice! I'll definitely implement some of these tips on my channel.

[@revmatchtv]

Nice work man! Legit tips right here.

[@arturoregalado721]

Awesome advice!! Makes me want to start recording my new edge Mustang and the happiness it brings me. 📹😎

[@allfamilyimportanddomestic8508]

Just launching my channel thanks to you got my first build Lexus IS 300 can’t wait to do this full time thanks for the help first video on the is 300 coming soon if you don’t mind giving me some criticism on what I could do better

[@Highway94]

consistency is key or atleast so i heard. Then, again it makes sense doesn't it ? Also, ofcourse having relateable content is big step on deciding where exactly on the automotive side of youtube you want to be. Theres, folks that do races, how to videos, vlogs , etc. figure out which one you want to be and stick to it and watch the followers grow. I just started my channel so im hoping this plans out right. Thanks derek for the video even though im a year late haha

[@JuanCMissingGears]

This is definitely by far the best explanatory video. I am so putting this into action. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to viewing all your vids!

[@straightlaced]

Nice video! Quality, Consistency, and Patience are definitely key. I just started up a channel about a month ago on my Saleen build as a little side media project. Its definitely a lot of work (in addition to actually building the car lol) but when all is said and done, I think it would be super cool to have something to document every step of the way to look back on. At the end of the day its about doing what you love and if you just keep with it, good things will come.

[@Kfostergraphics01]

Good stuff. Keep up the good work, man.

[@HeyBigChriss]

Rule #1. Clickbait

[@mcthunderstick2374]

For this channel absolutely.

[@HeyBigChriss]

Derek, I did not mean this comment towards you. I'm just saying that every KZbinr click baits lol.

[@aquagtx4038]

OMG!!! I BOUGHT THE BRAND NEW BUGATTI DIVO FOR $75858437543885843953304 DOLLARS (NOT CLICKBAIT) (GONE SEXUAL)

[@mariothemechanic]

Christian 😂

[@EngiNetion]

@@aquagtx4038 MUST WATCH !!! (GONE WRONG)

[@CordeinBlack]

This video fr has really helped me... Thanks i also have a channel and am doing 68 rightnow.. I hope they grow to 500 i will be so happy thanks derrick yoy have really helped me out

[@CorridosMalandros]

Awesome video Derek ! I'm starting off but was unsure of my goals and now you helped me understand :)

[@420demon5]

I like ur personality not the first time I’ve watched your videos but this one hooked me you earned yourself a subscriber

[@nuthin2sumthin474]

First off wanted to say, great vlog Sir. 1 big important thing as well-$$. You need money to do a good channel. I have tried to start my channel, but unless you got money to buy the nice camera's your going to be hurting. I have been in IT for 18 years and it is flooded with people just paying for certs and make alot of money. I see this the same way, how do they go viral-young adults who's parents give them money. Not saying all, but you see the nice shops, money to buy a project car, tons of Instagram folks. I would like to see a youtuber show they started from nothing, no help from their parents. Like worked hard doing what ever jobs to pay for it. I do respect you on this channel because you have some good points. Keep up the good work Sir and yes I will sub this. Thanks for the input.

[@ryannolan3752]

Awesome vid. Motivated me to finally start a car channel on my Cobra. Takes time and commitment but hopefully I can improve on it and grow.

[@automotivejay428]

See you on the top of KZbin in 5 years

[@Kanawiggz_]

Great video! Thanks for shedding some light on building an automotive channel. I’m starting out and got stuck a couple of times. Taking your advice for sure bro!

[@Lalou__9]

This was highly appreciated. Always watched your videos and I would love to get to talk to you more if possible.

[@tonymendoza7791]

Still doing a great job man. Keep getting it💪.

[@CravingClassics]

Killa info .. appreciate the tips .. Mustang looks slick ! 🤙🔥

[@dudeshark2471]

Hey man, bring back the car reviews! I think it'll help you grow a bit because they grab new people that are searching for different cars and can bring more diversity to your channel. Just my 2 cents though, there's a reason you hit 20k my guy, you do you.

[@DerekBaranProductions]

Dude Shark I see that. I'm bringing them back buttttt I actually only hit 1k worth of subs when doing reviews. The other 21k were strictly from vlogs about cars

[@clearcutautomotive606]

This definitely helped out alot man. Thank you so much!

[@SingleCabs_and_SuperMotos]

Dont forget the red arrows!

[@XanderMeisman]

Really liked the video Derek! I can't wait to get my Canon t6 this week. Hoping to up the quality on my channel soon.

[@gerald-oo-seven7014]

Awesome vid man. Thanks so much for the tips. I’ve been stuck at 19 subs forever, lol. It’s a lot of fun tho, so I will keep posting and try some of your tips. Thanks for helping out us little channnels.👍

[@UpNorthMotorsports]

Excellent work you grew your channel quite abit in 8 months 👍

[@nathanbishop1999]

This is awesome! Thanks for the tips

[@thedriftman276]

thank you for the advice

[@livingwithgeorge5854]

[@TheGTXJay]

Good video man 👍solid advise.

[@UpNorthMotorsports]

Probably the best automotive how to grow an automotive channel video out there

[@Rtcmanga_YouTube_Channel]

Thanks, for the tips! I have my channel 10 years now and I made only 1900 subs, but 2.000.000 views, maybe owning car would be the next best thing... :D

[@dhand97]

I'm DYING to see this new car review😭😍😍

[@vonalmighty5149]

Now you at 177k let’s go good motivation

[@DownAtTheUnit]

Some quality advise, I'm starting out myself and definitely took on some of your advice!

[@9mobb8]

Well now you have a viral video. Good job.

[@AustinMathias]

Great video man! Thanks for all the awesome tips!

[@lokihallow]

Yes on the editing software!

[@jesseg-jdm]

[@bigmaxcc]

🤔if I start channel It will be about cars and don't ask yes it was about mustangs fast cars ford cars but mostly I have to get a mustang from the era 1999-2004 automatic or manual either way I give it a shot 👊big up DBP Squad as always 🔥💯

[@seanb3092]

Loved this info man! What are the editing software you use?

[@blubberbean9558]

Nice on reaching 70k

[@Reecesavage-Alwayswin]

You deserve way more subs and way more views bro.

[@MechanaholicsCreations]

[@stateref3148]

Dang this crazy it has 17 k views in 3 yrs now you get 17k views in 3 days 👌 came a long way

[@Toptechitsimracing9601]

Hi Derek thanks for your video i enjoyed and will be posting my first car video on my daily driver , your advice and support will be great it will be online in the next 45minutes

[@chiwalaj.m1986]

If we don't have a good camera do you suggest we just start with our phones and work on improving quality as we continue???

[@Tidewavey]

Would you look at that…we got another great vid from the G.O.A.T. Himself DBP

[@smokeyycp]

lol this was the first vid that came up when i looked up how to start. about to just send it

[@blueflamingo3167]

i just started doing youtube but i wanna do it so i can have memories of the things i did for when i get older

[@zorazr192]

Good advice, I'm thinking of starting a KZbin channel build my twin turbo 2003 cobra. Making a wide body from scratch built motor and custom twin turbo kit. I want to record the build.

[@JPGStangProductions]

hello everybody my name is Jake and I am a fan of Derek since the coyote swap new edge review and ever since i saw that video i decided to let my passion for filming and automotive could mix well together so I challenged myself and created my channel. Im very young like literally young but I dont let that stop me from sharing knowledge i know. as well as learning new knowledge from veteran enthusiasts. My channel is based on a new edge build series but recently ive been also adding in new types of videos in with other people. Ive made videos on the all new 2017 shelby super snake in person as well as the GT350R and GT500 and other things in the automotive world.....(sigh) yes even Honda. I get 100 views a video and have only 42 subscribers and im grateful for what I have but it would be nice to grow and expand. I like Derek and his dedication and consistency to blue. i dont even have a lot of equipment but i try to do with what i have and make quality videos. Thanks DBP sqaud and to my squad for being there. Sincerly, Jake.

[@PowerJunkiez]

We should try to have a youtube meetup. Im based in Hampton right outside Va beach, I believe you are in Richmond?

[@BaseballPRO16]

Get the terminator spoiler next!

[@roadtuned1416]

Great video ;)

[@fohgo]

My god those rovos!

[@MileMarker492]

Cool man good advice thanks. Its tough getting started but i just keep posting and it has only been a couple of weeks haha. How many subs should you have in a month?

[@TrainsForever]

It took you 3 months for 100 subs. It’s been over 3 years for me. Trains ain’t it for KZbin 😅 it’s just for fun no big deal. I’ll start cars very soon

[@kaboom1077]

I just bought my car and I'm 12 and me and my dad are gona start a channel. We both have jeep wjs

[@RickHdz36]

I think with your car reviews you need to add some go pros on the outside or didn't angles

[@turbotommy9006]

Thanks for info

[@ENLGHTND]

It’s taken me a year and 5 months to get 272 subscribers, I find it very hard to grow on KZbin but I’m grinding and posting once a week

[@kx250braap]

And I think switching it up every now and then I want to start one for cars but also add in some music stuff both my passions and small engines ATVs etc I like a bit of variety but that's just me

[@The96sunfiregt]

Are you gonna be at the american muscle show if so would love to meet you and get your opinion on my 01 new edge

[@1savge2v77]

What edit user do you use

[@johng89]

Yes what editing software do you use?

[@sarveshkumar-pe4gd]

DPB can u make a video on ur editing software pls

[@AnthonyLoveJr]

Virginia? Once I get rolling maybe we can collaborate I’m thinking about recording me restoring my Monte Carlo

[@donavanhargrove8845]

Question sir. With the music, how did you put that song at the end? Not copyrighted music?

[@modernkamukama7881]

Yah, what do you use for editing

[@marcjhamirvillasan6465]

At 14 i have a starex which broke down and i swapped it with a slightly shit box a kei van straight pipe

[@trevoryoung1244]

Man I'm wanting to start a KZbin channel but I've got two old trucks ones a 94 f250 and the other is a 2000 Silverado 4wd prolly gonna do a pipe vid first on the Silverado first hope ppl will like it lol

[@spinall446]

Derek are you going to Mustang Week??

[@DerekBaranProductions]

Jason Perez yes

[@spinall446]

DerekBaranProductions cool hope to see you there!

[@devoF12]

What slider is a good enough length

[@truckcarguru2284]

Wat type of editing software????

[@MagicCarReviews]

Good info, thank you for the information.

[@ChevroletImpala-ez2wp]

REVIEW ME

[@JoshRolfe]

I have some car reviews out and I get decent views on them, however it seems like people don't go and check out other videos I've made and consequently they don't stick around and subscribe. I'm using tags and other tools but can't seem to gain traction. Any tips for keeping an audience and not just get views?

[@johnvisande]

What app or software did you use for editing your videos?

[@derrickflorence6960]

What type of editing software do you use? If it is a pay software about how much do you pay because I kow with all of the music that you have in the background it can't be KZbin

[@lukeluke3577]

Tell us about your editing pls

[@turbotommy9006]

Thank for info

[@beanza_]

I’m gonna contact SSC North America and see if I can convince them to let me review one of their cars. I only have 35 subs but I think I can do it. This vid could blow up my channel. I really hope they’ll let me.

[@theaccelerator4908]

Nice vid.

[@jefferyrodriguez9729]

What's your wheel spec?

[@chyldechylde9728]

How do you add music in the background while talking (like this video) and not get copyrighted?

[@Samuel-jx9ng]

❤️❤️

[@Experience1]

Consistency is a bitch

[@neonnerd1364]

You should debadge your car. Badges are for squares.

[@c.g.vproduction9410]

Are u going to mustang week next month derek?

[@teirnanhardyproductions]

I’m sorry but I consider 142,000 subs FAMOUS
