Your so right to keep track of all your ideas, I always write them in a notebook in my phone so I can remember to create it, it's amazing how much you can think of in a day!

[@JamesKerLindsay]

In my case, I’m already learning to take advantage of breaking news stories. I had a video planned and recorded for Friday, but a major development occurred in my field. I quickly scripted and recorded that instead. Occasionally doing something like this actually seems to be a great way of developing KZbin skills and opening up the possibility of developing new, rapid reaction content! :-)

I love your channel. I've attempted to run a blog site before in 2015... got really into Pinterest and SEO and all that. Now it's 2020, I have new goals, a newfound purpose and I want to venture into KZbin. I found your videos and I just really appreciate your openness and authenticity.

[@ParadiseBiker]

You're definitely right about bringing some aspects of the vlogging & lifestyle niche into your vidoes.. I mean, its not obvious to some but to me it's the little details that really pop! How you tend to change angles and go into different rooms during 1 single video..its sooo engaging. Other creators just sit at a desk n talk (which by means is no disrespect to them) But ur just a cut apart from the rest.

[@Property_Matters]

[@NataliyaBondarShelest]

I really love your content! I started posting videos a few months ago and KZbin (and technology in general) is extremely confusing for me. In my day, videos on VHS tapes were there standard (I'm 55) and even that was too technologically advanced for my taste. It's so wonderful to have someone out there break down all of the technical information. Thank you, Cathrin, your videos really help me with my channel!

[@jrwntctv8091]

Good video Cathrin. Been watching your content for a couple of months and I'm pleased to see your subscriber count increasing - you deserve all the success you get. When it comes to thinking of ideas, one thing that needs to be mentioned is ideas flow best when your brain is relaxed. It's kind of like writers block, which is when the words are not flowing for a writer because they might be trying too hard. When they get away from their work a little bit and do something else for a while, that's when the ideas come. You're right as well about ideas coming in the shower - running water has a therapeutic element that relaxes the brain (and the reader may want to research 'theta brainwaves'). For some people, ideas can flow best when they go for a walk (works better in a rural area or the park, not so well on city streets). When ideas come you need to document them (even if you just use the 'voice recorder' app on your smartphone). While I don't apply this to KZbin, in my experience if you want to think of ideas you've got to find a balance - concentrate without trying too hard.
