[@JeffofTheNorth]

thankyou, the second you said this i was confused where i could easily find it! trying to get my channel started and have been watching your videos, keep up the awesome content.

[@FlorianFrickel]

I do appreciate the different approach on how you break down the way of how to succeed on KZbin and how to find your own path. As a small creator and been in the journey around a year + now it’s refreshing and pushing to keep going

[@TariqShaweesh]

I feel lost in terms of which direction should I go with my content. This video gave me a boost. Thank you, Jeven!

[@jscursions]

I totally agree with you and Jake. Setting a goal at the start of creating content on KZbin is a great idea. When I thought of doing KZbin, I had no clue of what to film, no clue of how to edit, much-less, know how to even create a channel and/or load-up a video... I knew zilch! I was basically a fish looking for a pond to swim in... But I started this creative field by setting a goal of 3 years. I also went into it with the mind set, that even if nobody watched my content, I'd be at least leaving behind a bit of my legacy behind - of the things I've done and/or loved to do. And I also set this goal with the mind set of giving it my all to see of if perhaps I could make a bit of income to add to my retirement income once I retired from my job. My overall goal was and is; To inspire others to get up, get out and get active in one way or other, and perhaps pass on some wisdom along the way. So I started doing videos by climbing stairs during my lunch time telling stories. Climbing stairs during my lunchtime was something I did anyway, so why not film it. After work, I'd filmed projects I do in my yard, whether it be creating something or working in my garden. To my surprise, I got monetized on KZbin within 8 months. So if I can do this, anybody can do this. I don't get a ton of views all the time. But in my opinion, every view is one I'm grateful for and what inspires me to continue. So thank you Deven for sharing this video...I always walk away from your videos learning something every time. :-)

[@Aprons.Overalls]

The ocean sounds behind Jake in his interview are just beautiful! Also, I agree about your statement on making videos you WANT to make. But also import to think about your audience while making those types of videos. I'm trying to that more myself, and respect my viewers while editing.

[@EbrightExplores]

I struggled at first with staying consistent due to me setting unrealistic goals, now I've created goals for myself that are attainable and am enjoying the process of creating and getting better!

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

I can tell he uses snap seed for his thumbnails. Lol crazy to be able to see stuff like that, can't wait to check out his channel

[@spanglishangler]

Maybe I am the only guy that wants to make videos as entertainment and not as part of my income. I mean, I will never pass by a hundred dollar bill on the floor,, but what gets me motivated is a getting a comment saying how much they enjoyed your video that you work hard to put together and finally someone appreciate that hard work. 👍🏼

[@buildraceparty]

This is awesome Jeven. I found through your editing studio setup video. Then watched the Mac Mini M1 review/ commentary. Thank you for taking the time to teach us!

[@meanderslow]

Thank you for posting this. It's all so overwhelming and I have too many ideas which is paralyzing.

[@CyberEditing]

Solid advice! Really appreciated. Loved this format bouncing between Jake & yourself.

[@ImaginationFolder]

I actually saw that viral video just the other day! Congrats to Jake!

[@nemisesik]

Dear Jeven , you came a long way , and getting better everyday , I'm sure so many ppl love to learn from you like myself . Keep it up !

[@G.StarCreative]

Always love videos like this! Keep killin it Jeven!

[@EdisonBryan]

The advice on this video was golden

[@AdoRec]

Thank you. Because I was just about to quit making videos because I was so overwhelmed with everything. I think that after seeing this I’m gonna give it a try and keep making videos. Thank you 🙏

[@standardschnauzerusa]

Thank you Jeven for the continued motivation and positivity!

[@G.StarCreative]

Just do it and post it. Might be the best point in this video about creative work.

[@paradisemusiclibrary1756]

If you are reading this, Don't Give Up! You will make it! I know you will. Never give up on yourself. I believe in you! 💖🙏

[@coastingtowardblue3654]

Thanks so much for your videos, Jeven-today, I posted my first vlog, and I’m looking forward to this journey. Thanks for all you do!

[@JevenDovey]

Lots of videos on my channel to help you with your journey. Check out my how to vlog series where I dig into different storytelling strategies to make more interesting vlogs

[@Falasi4]

I had to look how many videos I've made and it says 300 starting April 29, 2010. Mostly as a way I could share video with friends family and if anyone else is interested that was cool. Not sure I've made them all viewable since some are probably just raw uploads before I did editing. Most of my videos tend to be mountain bike trail documentaries so 1 trail system will end up as a playlist with multiple videos to represent sections of the trail system. Lately I got a drone (that has usable footage unlike prior drones) and adding my edited footage to share with friends/family but others welcome to watch. Even more lately I found my old RC Cars from the 80s/90s and I know there is at least a small number of fellow vintage RC car folks that may get a kick out of it so I plan to dig each one out, get it running, and do a vidoc on them - maybe 10-15 cars total so not a long term thing. I plan to keep at it if for no other reason, convenient way to share with friends/family - maybe try and be more consistent and not just release everything I have edited at once (other than trail system videos) - cross posting on instagram sounds like a plan too!

[@mochamabrian7]

Great content jeven . learning alot

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent Video, and Excellent Information and Advice On How To Be Successful On KZbin. Thank You Jeven.

[@herring5827]

I've been trying to get this channel up. Hope it starts getting some traction or at least some direction to specific content

[@FrankHuynh]

Great tips! For anyone else that may see this - you got this!

[@RaisedinAlaska]

Thanks for the insight Deven.

[@mannythehunter]

Great video. Like a lot of people my page started out as a way to capture/keep my videos for family and stuff. I have now decided to create a separate channels for different content. Having a separate family channel will allow me to have videos for my family (in the future) and another Channels for my different hobbies and crazy things I enjoy doing.

[@limbo196]

Thank you for what you are doing. I recently got a drone and find your tutorials super useful! Helped me to boost skill

[@jscursions]

Great Video! I've learned so much from your videos whether it's been via your tutorials or looking at how you go about filming your stories. That said, I'm going on my 3rd year on posting content and I struggle with doing a live stream Q & A or creating a simple Q & A video addressing subscribers questions because I'm answering then as comments are being asked via comments. I have even asked via the community to ask questions for an up coming q & A and I didn't get any real response. So how do you go about doing a live stream or even creating a Q & A video? Would you kindly do a video on this subject? It would really be appreciated. :-)

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Interesting stuff - thanks! Would be good to hear more about your two-channel strategy and advice for that. 🤔

[@JevenDovey]

Here’s a video all about it kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5DbkmeMgcyhe9U

[@driftingintoretirement]

[@DeBora4Bobby]

Thank you for the helpful videos. I'm a Baby Boomer and I'm new to digital stuff but in this days and age, businesses much be out there. Thanks for helping me understanding the lingo. I'm almost ready to video Aroll and Broil. 🙂

[@WilliamRomero99]

I like your videos I watched a lot of your videos on the DJI mini2 and I just got it thank you.

[@ventureproductions1472]

Jeven-are these going to be a normal thing? Bc the last video you made was a year ago about this subject. Super interested in this subject If you wanna keep going! Thanks for the info!

[@ThunderChasers]

Thanks for making this video.

[@raccoon9023]

will you make a video about the new SDK for DJI Mini 2?

[@crashtke]

Jake seems like a cool guy. I love his videos.

[@TravelwithDaySack]

Jeven , lets say i have subscribed to the 30 day trial of epidemic sound and for some financial reason i canceled it before my 30 day subscription ended. what happens the the sound i used in my video during that time? would i get in trouble for it?

[@shwetabhshuklavlogs9534]

Thanks for this video ✌️

[@dougscott188]

Excellent conversation

[@MonVlogs1997]

Great advice bruh!

[@createrbhaijan]

I started learning from you You are really a good teacher 😄😄

[@linebeaudette4007]

Love your tips Jeven, thank you. Would you recommend removing videos (especially the first batch) if they did not gain any views?

[@JevenDovey]

Depends. Are they bringing in views to your channel that are from an audience thats different then what you're trying to build? I have started to go through and remove some of my older videos because I am making this channel much more focused and I only want to bring in one audience

[@Osiris-wm2kj]

Peace everyone! Lets start this week off right 🙏🏾🌟

[@RichardFredrickson]

So you have been transitioning into 2 channels each with a specific niche. You're a HUGE channel compared to mine and I'm wandering if it's bad to have a smorgasbord of content just so the channel has content year round? I have an outdoor channel where hunting content can mostly get made only during hunting season. So I fill the rest of the year with other outdoor activities. As a newer creator I didn't know if I should keep making content (whatever it is) until I have things figured out or if I would break my channel into pieces already but part of the year won't have new content? Great videos!

[@JevenDovey]

Variety channels don’t work unless it’s all content that the audience will watch. If there is a clear division then you shouldn’t keep it one channel. Is there a way to reuse some of the hunting footage to continue to make videos out of hunting season? Look what other channels do off season as well. For outdoor general content do those people want to watch hunting?

[@RichardFredrickson]

@@JevenDovey as a solo hunter I'm still balancing being successful at hunting AND filming lol. So I don't have enough footage to make interesting content year round. I could do some scouting or educational videos A lot of hunting channels transition into backpacking/camping/overlanding channels or doing gear testing for the next season. Thanks for getting back to me. I have some direction moving forward after thinking about your questions.

[@DRONIXAR]

Perfect

[@GoldenK9Campers]
