I couldn't agree more with finding your niche and building a community. I haven't missed one of your videos since I jumped into sports videography (2 years ago-ish?). I am very thankful for your content.

Awesome video ! Love seeing you post this. Your channel inspired me to start my own and although I’m new I’m having so much fun making videos! I love that it is a smaller niche and feel like I can connect with you just by a comment. Love all the knowledge you provided !

That’s amazing man!! Love to hear people getting into KZbin themselves because it can be rewarding in so many ways. There’s something really nice about being niched down and I’m loving the process everyday. Happy you enjoyed the video!

Extra info from a previous KZbinr with 6.8k followers. With just ad revenue, I make about $95-$150 a month from views. One month I doubled my income with donations by going live. My RPM was about $8 on avg. but it literally fluctuates every video, but they’ll give you an Avg. I averaged maybe 400-600 views per day. With Amazon affiliate, if you don’t sell enough after some time, they’ll remove you from their affiliate. So I would advise not joining till you hit 1k subs, then you can make evergreen content, and get those product sales Edit: with product or money sponsored videos, you legally have to disclose verbally or with text who or what is sponsoring you within the first 10 seconds of a video. That’s why, when uploading KZbin gives you an option to check a box if it’s a paid promotion

I had no idea that the sports video stuff was a part time gig for you! Is your full time role in sports video as well or a completely different field? Thanks for this upload - always helpful to get these type of insights.

My full-time role is with the CFL, so also in sports video! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video.

Great video Peter. I am a sports photographer and videographer in the United Kingdom. I always have good intentions to be consistent on youtube, but always feel I have no time to follow through on myself. What are your tips on (1) finding time (2) coming up with ideas (3) balancing youtube with your full-time job? Ideally I'd love to give KZbin a go to generate an extra channel of income, but always find it hard to fit it in. To add context, I have two small children too, so my time is very restricted :(

KZbin can definitely be a challenging hobby to find time for, and I’d imagine even more so with two children! I’ll provide bullet point numbered answers to your numbered questions to keep things clean. 1. Finding time - Put time in your calendar so that it becomes a part of your routine - try to work early morning or late night (I’m a night owl) so that you can get a couple hours of productive work in when other people aren’t awake - don’t stress about making everything perfect, just do what you can 2. Coming up with ideas - keep a note on your phone of ideas so that you can always refer back to something - develop one (or a few) recurring series ideas that your audience enjoys so that you can fall back on something if you don’t have any interesting ideas (I do sports videographer reacts as the most regular series on my channel) - watch other content on KZbin in and around your niche, or from other niches entirely and remix concepts where you feel you could add value to apply to your topic, executed in your unique style 3. Balancing KZbin with full-time job - I said this before but just do what you can and don’t stress about perfection - A channel with videos that can be turned around quickly is sustainable (editing tutorials are great for me because I can edit myself talking and a screen recording and have it ready to post in a few hours) - My full-time job directly correlates with what I do here, so at times the work that I’m already doing at my job can double as a future video concept for this channel (ex. I’ll edit a video for my job, then after that video is posted and runs its useful life I’ll break down an effect from that video on the channel) - stick to a consistent upload schedule. It can be twice a week, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly (doesn’t have to be frequent). Making a schedule that fits your lifestyle takes a lot of pressure off I hope some of this helps, wishing you the best!

Please where do you get those sound effects ?

@petersarellas 11 ай бұрын

From packs that I’ve downloaded from music subscription platforms that I pay for or from free sound libraries like freesound.org
