[@PrettyWhiteLady]

I'm going to need to watch this video about two or three times, but so far the tips are abundant! I believe today is the day that I officially make my first video because I had to dump all the old videos off of my 2009 Panasonic SDR-H4OP/PC (the HD stood for hard drive back then, high def was just a glimmer in, maybe Star Wars creator guy's eyes?) Hahaha . I signed up to the 1000 things challenge!

[@chadsanford894]

How to do it on mobile?

[@patrickspiegel]

For anybody who is still contemplating whether or not to start a channel. As someone who started last year, it was the best decision I made!!

[@aurasphere87]

This is my favorite video of all time. I seriously mean that. Im 36 and relearning technology, entering into content creation. This will be my ultimate roadmap. Thank you so very much.

[@rickyhearne3751]

never really comment BUT im going away soon and thought i might record my travels and this video answered 90% of what i was wanting to find out. this is a must watch for all people there is alot of infomation in this for free

[@DominicQuintanilla]

Finally got the nerves out and started!! 2024 is the year! Huge thanks to the entire Think Media team for all of the amazing content!

[@sumdaybecame2day]

I'm with you! I just loaded a combination of short videos and pictures in iMovie! Cheers to doing it afraid!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Way to go!

[@bhumphries1360]

​@@sumdaybecame2dayI subbed to your channel!

[@mariajoseperez-sanchis1005]

This is the best video I have ever seen for a beginner in KZbin. Thank you! When I will be famous I will give you credit!!

[@EmilyFoxasinEmilytheFox]

This is a whole freakin' masterclass. Well done.

[@thepullupshow_podcast]

I agree.

[@SergioLopezFineArt]

Indeed! One of the best tutorial videos I've seen in a long time

[@brucebrucefoundation]

[@johnt2491]

Nolan, this is *PERFECT*!! 😍 Thank you so much for putting this together and referencing your previous videos. This is exactly what I needed as I'm trying to get back into the KZbin game again. You're fantastic!! 🎉

[@sdvlt]

HI and thanks for your info. If somebody watches only a small part of the video or skips parts of it ,does it still count as one view? and if the same person watches the video lets say 5 times, do those count as 5 views ? oh sorry, another question,,do people have to watch the ads not skip them for you to get paid /count as a view.. Thanks in advance

[@MsTwiththeTea1980]

This information is so helpful 😊thank you very much

[@Vanderwoman]

Amazing and definitely helpful content. Happy New year and cheers to growth🎉🎉🎉

[@StarrLorain]

[@Ibz87]

What a incredible video. Definitely got some good tips from this. Thank you think media 😊

[@BeautifulLifeWonderfulJourney]

When you said “Part 1 of the hook comes first” I lost it lol that was too funny

[@mom-and-son]

This was an EXCELLENT episode!!!

[@MsTwiththeTea1980]

Agreed 😊

[@kimhandelman5512]

[@hadikembara8234]

[@THEEASTFAMILY2023]

[@Claudia_ZA]

Thank you for the advice. Next step for me is to implement and watch the results.

[@VioletEmerald]

The underscore trick is so helpful! Thanks.

[@TheConnectionCoachMelissa]

Learned a TON from this!! Definitely have to rewatch. Now on to the next one that you recommended...

[@MSPACELOG]

Thank you for this video. I learned valuable lessons from it and actually got some great ideas and updated the things I already knew about.

[@livingwithchanel2869]

Thank you for this video, it has helped me so much with coming up with videos for my channel. My channel has been failing so going to use these ideas to help!

[@princesssullivan5098]

Thank ypu so much!!! So much value❤

[@Limitless1717]

Amazing work. Thank you for sharing.

[@pinkneyestatescorp]

My mans WENT IN on the ideas section 🙌🏾 I'm locked in on my next video idea 💡🫡

[@T-Watch]

Thank you Think media for all the good tips!! Yesterday I posted my very first video and made some mistakes but I'm learning from them. Greetings from Belgium.

[@geneseroberson1191]

This is a very helpful video. Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@browser37]

This was definitely informative, thanks!

[@Roamingthecotswolds]

Really has helped me set up my KZbin channel so many thanks.

[@vy5922]

Thank you much appreciated for such extent info; you are amazing

[@karlbodmer4368]

I wish I had this video before, but at the end of the day the most important thing is how popular you are. When I found out that I could trigger organic growth after getting first 1000 subs (using a bit of Famester), everything got a lot easier for me and my channel blew up massively. People are just looking at your numbers when searching for some content. If you have low subs no one cares about you, even if you make the best content on platform.

[@edwardmadden1998]

what is famester?

[@DopeReplica]

It's a slang. He means becoming popular

[@powermariobros]

Dang KZbin is harsh!

[@Fedrowreview]

*56 subscribers*

[@InGusWeTrust810]

What channel of yours are you referring to? I’m tryna see if your channel is worth watching!

[@MasterScreenPrints]

Thank you about the advise from your phone. I did a video facing looking at the lens instead of me seeing myself and I felt a lot better.

[@MoAlmohtasib]

Amazing video thank you for the effort in making this video 👏🏽

[@yatori9511]

This video is so good! Thank You!

[@ElementaryEducationExplorers]

Thanks, very helpful.

[@ams_tyquiengco]

Thank you for this !!!

[@MartinLavie]

Great gathering of content. How to make long form content with medium length videos! Genius

[@gigworkmama]

HOLY! Talk about content marathon! This was such a good compilation.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@Hamarich_arts]

Thank you 🙏

[@CallMeLani]

I hit 1000 subscribers in 107 days from the tips and tricks provided from @ThinkMedia channel! This team KNOWS what they're talking about!!! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

[@TamarahTravels]

Whew this is amazing!

[@Sonic_Egg]

thank you Think !

[@RossThePianoMan]

Great video content! Thankyou.

[@AbhishekJain347]

Amazing video! This gives me more motivation to start.

[@TanyaBrightFuture]

Thank you!🙏 ❤

[@TanyaBrightFuture]

I actually do feel through the screen your positive great energy🔥👍❤

[@user-rg4cw7tj9d]

I'm afraid this was MASS CONFUSION for me. I can tell that you undoubtedly know exactly what you're talking about (here it comes) BUT, I'm in my 60s and TRULY a beginner. I'm in desperate need of income to add to my disability and I'm afraid this may have scared me off! Lol All kidding aside, I found the info was given much too quickly and my head hurts now. Honestly, I may be WAY out of my league. I have however managed to post a couple of my kitty videos. Tee hee🎉 Have a blessed and beautiful day. Think I'll pray about it some more😂

[@stevemurphy2064]

Nice job! Clear and easy to understand!

[@PrettyWhiteLady]

This video has been so incredibly helpful to me and I'll tell you why: over the past several months I have been coming up with many, many playlists for myself, in other words areas that I want to focus on for my KZbin channel: the channel is devoted to my healing after about 15 years that have truly challenged me: physical illness, mental illness caused by toxic family members and bullying coworkers. Just give an example, one playlist is devoted to Forgiveness Work, one is called Dirty Laundry and encompasses both how I manage to return to doing laundry using a washing machine after a year of just rinsing things out due to abdominal illness, but that playlist doubles as gossipy Dirty Laundry to make it more fun. I am also writing a memoir, so I will have a story time playlist with the occasional scene that I write that I can read out. However, now that you have given me these very specific guidelines as to what types of videos do well, I can take my ideas, your ideas, and combine them to have something that is really tight. ❤ So, gosh! Gee! Thank you so much! And I love the very selfless attitude that so many of you guys have on Think Media, this is exactly where I'm coming from with my channel. All the luck in the world to everybody!! 😂🎉

[@ToyvideosKh]

Thanks ❤

[@BobCaseyAerial]

Great tips & ideas. Nice video

[@talkwithjayy]

[@rionvalet]

Wow, this is INSANE!

[@thepullupshow_podcast]

Small channel here. I’m listening and applying. Thank you

[@MutaFlorenceChokani]

Oh my gosh, I just had an 'AHA' moment watching this video. I just started my KZbin channel, I didn't know how to add a certain feature in my editing software, the overlay. As simple as that?? 😂😂, thank you so much. Much success to us all.

[@Amaechi_Israel]

Thank you

[@johnclay7644]

good topic of video. informative content

[@vornraingseyvong5583]

thanks you so much

[@OscarSpearmanPhotos]

Thanks for sharing this guide. Very comprehensive. I have everything I need to produce a high quality video podcast to complement my weekly audio podcast. My challenge is scheduling shooting so I can hand it off to an editor.

[@helenasr7302]

Love the outfit changes! Keeps things interesting.

[@Instructors-tube]

Thank you sir

[@PassiveIncomeJourney777]

Awesome video ❤

[@MutaFlorenceChokani]

Very informative indeed!!! Thank you for all your helpful tips and tricks.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GabbyHabriella]

Thank you so much this literally helped me and I’m only 13 and I don’t even know how to do this like this video. I really hurt help me and I mean I’m so happy.

[@ABYSERVICEELECTRONIC]

Very useful video, friend, good luck

[@AndTheTruthTv]

Thank you dear Sir Gives All essential knowledge. A Bunch of Bouquets for you.💐💐💐.

[@burksgarage]

Great stuff I watched it all :)

[@BizandJobs]

Excellent video

[@GeorgeGarcia70]

Great video! Step by step, very clear and simplified. How do you get the face in there circle while sharing your screen. Also if you can make a video on how to make reaction videos and what software’s to use.

[@BD-YouTube-Developer]

thnks

[@vernonchristopher1379]

I'm blown away!! 😂😂😂 Great video!! 😊😊😊

[@toksthoughts]

thanks

[@MonkeyTime-kq1bs]

Great video! I’m a VRA member and I feel like the teachers assistant just gave us a review before the exam. Lol. I definitely feel more confident that I’m going to ace that sucker now. Thanks for this one.

[@TheCorpOfc]

Actually, seems like this video is better than VRA.. I’m in VRA also and finished Niche Finder.. But I was really needing more of what this video has..

[@girlpower_rm]

thank you

[@WatchGuild]

Very informative. Thank you man for this. I always thought that maybe using webcam coils overall help me reach the audience better 😅

[@seangoeswest]

@thinkmediatv Thanks, Nolan! Just snagged the Viltrox 20mm. It's not something you recommended, but I began with your recommendation for the Sigma, Viltrox 20MM was just a bit more affordable. So jus wanted to say thanks and support the magic! --------> Still pondering if 'Sean Cannell' is a stage name though - it's suspiciously cool and just TOO on BRAND lol 😄 you've got me sold on everything else.. 😄 Thanks for always making great content!

[@michaelreynolds4.0]

Appreciate the nuggets! Ive started my channel and need to grow...

[@brucebrucefoundation]

Hell yeah! I’m trying to learn the business aspect of it as well!

[@Goodhealth997]

Thanks

[@YDgraphics3]

Amazing

[@MattxHues]

New Creator here. This was reflective and full of knowledge. Thanks for the drop. Hoping to learn and grow alongside you. :) Keep up the grind.

[@EJAYTheBHB]

7:39 I just had this happen yesterday. It felt amazing and the question was relative to the video.

[@paustavlogs2969]

Thanks idol

[@MichaelRettig-MA]

Thanks for the video. I read one post online that epidemic sound does not let you keep the music that you downloaded after your subscription ends. For example, if you upload a KZbin video with an epidemic sound while you have a subscription, and then your subscription expires, then the KZbin video you uploaded would be flagged for copyright. Is this true? Your video contradicts, and that post was one of the reasons why I second-guessed getting epidemic sounds, so I just wanted to clarify that point before I signed up

[@kaelinfloyd]

12:08 These are so good ideas

[@kelwinkwel]

Ahhh man, I was so ready for the rant!! 😂🚨😡

[@sumdaybecame2day]

Can I insert small clips from movies into my videos for creative flare? I'm not sure what the creativity rules are? Thank you for your guidance in ensuring we have structured content.

[@ProjectAZL]

U earned a sub dude and a like

[@billvinson7859]

Great information. I have already done the double down on a Godzilla 30 second video which got 66.5 thousand views and got almost 3 thousand views for the next one. I still have a lot to learn. I do Astrophotography Star time lapses. ❤

[@user-cn2lr7pi4c]

Pls guys I need fast respond , what is better light to get amaran 60d s or gvm80d

[@axemanarbor]

Slight latency is distracting. Slightly. Love your work ❤

[@West-sm]

This is useful

[@debspringchannel831]

I just want to use voice over and visuals , what websites are best for images and what sound equipment is best as a beginner?

[@ElizabethNeedham-hk3bj]

What do you use to edit your videos and what do you use for the stock videos that you pull in?

[@importpro1334]

Well even though my channel is growing very slowly… I do seem to get good reactions from me viewers. We love y’all! ❤ don’t give up on yet guys just stick threw the the next day 🙏

[@brucebrucefoundation]

I never looked at YT as a business. Definitely trying to figure it out now. 👌🏻

[@Hamarich_arts]

I draw a picture and I want to convert it into a video. What do I need to make a video? My current phone is spark7. What do you recommend?

[@Monefsjungle]

Incredible, this is sooooo helpful. Can you do Monet McMichael next?
