[@miyaelsewhere]

The best practical advice for a break! Very good said! TNX !

[@TexasTherapist]

It’s not free any longer 😡

[@Tahany]

34:18 they actually start talking about the New Style of Vlogging: "The 3 T's" ➡️ Theme, Topic & Takeaway

[@jeriheggie]

And telling stories 😉

[@tyleroftoday]

thanks for saving me some time.

[@sibaroochi]

I was Wondering when they would finally talk about it. Thanks

[@Kelii316]

Thank you❤

[@hong-dachin4620]

Much appreciated!

[@judeemclaughlin]

Funny thing is, I was telling myself I needed all the text, b roll, music etc to upload and it delayed my starting. I decided to just do vlogs/talking heads where I just dumped my brain. I launched my first video yesterday knowing it is far from perfect but knowing I will get better with each subsequent video. In the past two days, I've seen about 10 videos saying this is now popular.

[@Colbychristie]

Yeah same here. At first I thought I needed all the features and everything but I realized the video editing process was taking too long so I focused on making better quality videos so I can edit a lot less and get more production out.

[@adrianchaney1513]

You are not alone I’ve been thinking the same thing. Thinking do I need Sub magic or opus clips and just delaying

[@MikePhoTravelVlogs]

For real editing 40 hours for a 15 mins video hurts my brain 🧠 and motivation for the next edit ✍️ 😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢

[@BadaHQ]

The thoughts of the stress from editing made me start my channel late after pondering for so long. Now i finally started my channel about 2 months ago ​@@MikePhoTravelVlogs

[@MikePhoTravelVlogs]

@@BadaHQ awesome 👏 keep it up 💯💯✅👍

[@KeturahButterfly]

I saw him at my small town family gym once… and that’s when I realized, big KZbinrs are just normal people like us.

[@jacobfschaffer]

so is everyone 😊

[@bassmanwho]

this comes at the right time. I am a 45-yo Asian dude sharing my passions, life experience and struggles. I think telling stories is so important because each individual story is unique. Amplify character X personal stories and transform key takeaways that are useful to people.

[@JarrodTocci]

This episode is a MUST watch/listen to any creator, big or small. There is so much great info and knowledge. There’s a reason you two have written books about this. I’ve shared this with so many. Took me a few days to watch the whole thing 😅 but worth it nonetheless! Thank you.

[@Jetblack95]

I just started days ago and I’m at 1300 from shorts my actual videos not moving but I hope everyone who wanna start just go for it don’t over thank, trust me I support who support me. I’m sure communities could be build if we come together

[@AllBrightColors]

Try inviting your shorts viewers to join you for your longer videos

[@rhondacrystal323]

That’s awesome

[@drgemmasampson]

This was a handy challenge to push me out of my comfort zone, record edit and publish within 48h to minimise the to do list barriers

[@trepeakTHINK]

Such a great takeaway!

[@KristyRice]

Art creators have been keying off this approach for a while. Sit down, paint, publish. 🎉🎉 This vid was incredibly helpful though to dive deeper and refine the technique. Thank you!

[@stampinturtles]

Hey Kristy! You need to do a video for artists who want to start a channel. ❤❤❤

[@jojo-qu1qj]

yeah because vlogging has always been raw and edited videos that is what basically what vlogging is. this guy is such doofus.

[@VlogLife247]

Thank you for inspiring me to jump to a new level as a new KZbinr... I've started trying to create this raw style of vlogging and after watching this podcast you've confirmed that this is the way for me to go...your new subscriber vlog life 247🙏🏽

[@FullyLovingYourself]

This is so crazy and I feel like a sign because I was just wondering last night if I should keep growing my vlog channel.

[@LifeGuideYogi]

With a name/handle like yours, please keep making videos. People need to learn how to love themselves better

[@homebodytrish]

Let’s grow!!!

[@bobbysbrilliance]

Quick story: Years ago, I used to watch and listen to KZbin. Now, I listen or watch and code; sometimes, I listen or watch and take notes (default). On this occasion, it was the listen and code option. But now I will be watching this later and adding notes on the rerun. Great episode, guys. For real, for real, there are so many valuable nuggets.

[@adamferrell]

I do this with specific topics my audience is searching for related to fitness. I plan the content, but I just hit record, talk as I walk, do some light editing if needed, and post it. I enjoy it. It’s easy. It’s full of value (in my opinion). And I figured those who really care about the content and like me and what I’m doing, will be willing to just listen to me and not care that there’s no “production” value. The value is in the content I’m sharing, not the equipment or cute editing.

[@daniellebrandon4207]

I get so much value from a lot of your videos but I got extraordinary value from this one. Sean I just want to thank you, your videos have tremendously helped me and have given me the courage to seriously consider making a channel. I really like the insight from this interview and especially the bit about having fun with the work. Your friend is truly inspiring. Thanks so much!

[@DrooliusFilms]

Keep it up, Benji! Great seeing your vlogs and watching your channel grow in the last few months. It’s also awesome seeing you guys together making this video 🙌

[@TheMokhemisaBunch]

I was vlog exactly like this. Unfiltered, raw and unedited content.

[@ThinkMediaPodcast]

🔥🔥🔥

[@jlb127]

Ever since the pandemic I preferred vlogs. There are so many folks who stated vlogging won't go anywhere yet here we are vlogging. LOL LOVE IT.

[@joichristi]

We pay for WiFi. We have KZbin premium subscriptions. And a fire stick for the TV that isn’t smart. So happy! And yes, we are those people who watch the yard guys help people in their communities…my husband had his own yard business over 25 years…so weird how listening to a weed eater can be almost meditative😂

[@MosesKabandana]

The creator economy is on the rise. Thanks for sharing content that helps us creators take our game to the next level.

[@Recover_Your_P.O.W.E.R]

Just what i needed to hear I went from this style naturally to trying too hard and then I burnt out. I am going to go back to my natural style, and you guys described it as vlogging, which is exactly where my comfort zone is and where I feel the most genuine. So thank you for putting this out there!

[@amysworld_xx]

so true!

[@RickinaE]

This is interesting because this is how I started my channel almost 10 years ago...shoot the video...upload. I never watched them because back then I knew that if I did I'd beat myself up and then not post it. Buy I knew I wanted to get what I was learning out there to others. It's a welcome return as I try and revive my channel❤❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@WindwalkerHomestead]

Good to see Benji again. I remember seeing both of you in the early days in Benji's mom's house (I believe) and in the back yard, just grinding away 💪😎

[@martysgarden]

Got so excited on this I went straight out in our garden and shot a vlog with my daughter! Thanks guys as I love vlogging but it wasn’t doing so great. New format comeback YEW. Oh I have 3 monetized channels. Surfing, retirement and organic gardening. So I am super busy

[@jamestheredd]

I really appreciate this video. I'm a father of two little ones with a house, a full-time job, and a bunch of projects. Needless to say, my time goes a lot of different ways. I've had a difficult time finding content creation advice from other creators who are also parents. It's helpful to hear Benji talk about how he has optimized his production process and leaned into a more unpolished style of content. :)

[@TeachersOnFire]

I will watch every second of any conversation with Benji. Dude is so inspiring! Thank you for another great chat.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

I like the idea of this but here’s my question…how do you position the camera? Are you moving it around? I do cooking and cleaning and laundry so do I put the camera so I can see everything and just film?

[@AntonStetner]

Love see both of you so this episode. So so good.

[@dailyvlog_thailand]

Absolutely brilliant discussion, so insightful and really, beyond helpful for a new daily Vlog channel! Doing a bit of homework, trying to figure out ways of improving the content for more broad appeal, this is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this, brilliant!!!

[@thegrindtopar]

Damn I watched/listened to the whole thing and learned plenty! Man, I remember Benji from the early 2010s when I first started really watching KZbin because my ex at the time loved watching Judy 😅. Their vlog channel was one of the first vlog channels that made me want to start vlogging. Vlogging has always been something I wanted to do since and I tried a few times, but never committed. This year, I decided to go full commit and am about to post my 13th video with plenty more to come! This was absolutely a solid listen!

[@BenjaminTemplar]

Priceless content. Thanks to you both and Judy (legends). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@joeyroey]

This video gave so much value I can’t believe it’s free! Thank you for making these kind of videos ❤

[@lesleecheckingin]

Benji and Sean content is so good, thanks for sharing so much good today y’all 👍🏻

[@Lostat40]

I found espresso vivace watching Benji's cooking channel. I have a subscription now because it's my favorite coffee. Thanks Benji.

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Love this. Pinged you up on the TV. Really enjoyed the chat about negative comments. "Judge not lest ye be judged." I'd like to see your conversations become a regular monthly spot maybe. Even virtual streamyard chats would be good. 🙂

[@aimeecalexander]

I feel like this is the permission I needed. Thank you guys!

[@SEMBANGBASIKALISFREE]

Bingo! I believe this approach has been my way of vlogging. I produced my vlog within 24 hours and less editing and texts. Thanks for sharing 💚👍🏼

[@TheCarnivorePensioner]

Just a great conversation between two very genuine and transparent guys. Valuable on so many levels

[@seoulmansupra]

Good to see you guys together again!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@christianadventure]

This was a very interesting conversation. It is cool to see you guys back together and still together after all these years. After the Survivorman-Les Stroud video blog, you two were the 1st vloggers I had ever seen.

[@ChristianCareerJoy]

Wow the dialogue about criticism was sooooooo helpful! I will admit that comments is something that has been keeping me back (and finally I found VRA and am working through it). I loved the discussion around putting myself in a good mindset but also giving people grace.

[@ThinkMediaPodcast]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lindamarietravel]

Thank you, so much inspiration here, and encouragement! I needed to watch this today, needed to hear alot of these things. Great value, thank you ! 😊❤

[@cutwithapurpose]

My dude you’ve described life with and without anxiety.

[@serahdonald]

This is amazing. I will go back to vlogging

[@gloriouslifeonwheels3621]

This is not a NEW style. KZbinrs, including myself, have been doing this for years. Just watch some van life videos!

[@Joa.i.am.]

That's true. I like vlogs and see that in many of them 😅

[@hudonedem8517]

I think he’s speaking to the shift in people favoring this style. But you’re right I feel like that style is literally any van life video I’ve ever watched. That’s been their style.

[@ChillStudyDate]

Wait he didn’t make any videos on his channel for 3-4 yrs and it was dead in the water, and then he came back to the channel and revived it with new vlog style?

[@suzieinher60s]

Keeping the process simple helped me hit the START button!

[@iamryanward]

i’ve been doing daily videos for the last 107 days, and i literally posted one yesterday asking how to structure my content….this was sick! thank you 🙏🏼

[@manal3782]

Thank you so much Sean. So happy you exist 👍

[@benfishermin]

I'm enjoying this one. I started my channel with this style and it works really well, without any editing skills. Good stuff guys!

[@Amusementparkdad]

I listened to the podcast on my way to film a highly edited food review video. I changed my mind and decided to do it VLOG style. I’m on my way home to edit now. Hopefully won’t be too much editing lol. Wish me luck. Thanks for the podcast guys. This was very informational and helpful.

[@thecurtisrandall]

So funny, this was the original way of Vlogging when it all began. Its reality content and not polished edited or AI created. This 'Reality Style Vlogging' is in many ways better, it really shows what someone does on a daily basis. We all know the 'Instagram' pictures vs reality, and how different it really is in true life. The edited and non edited style have their place or lets say genre. and their audience may prefer one over the other.

[@jlb127]

AI has never been vlogging.

[@thecurtisrandall]

@@jlb127 Yes correct, but I'm sure there are channels out their attempting to pass AI content as Vlogging.

[@EfitnessbyBeatrice]

59:58 Thank youuuu so hard for people to understand anyway. I defintely do agree👍🏾🙏🏾

[@TopShelfHunters]

This is such a game changer not only from an idea point but inspiration point.

[@331slash]

Nice seeing Benji back, good episode!

[@ThinkMediaPodcast]

🙏🏻💯

[@jasminekroezeart]

Yayyyy permission to try some less polished content! And to just be me! This is why I love KZbin!

[@themodernbookwoman]

I'm just starting my channel and posted my first bookish vlog yesterday and this really was helpful, thank you!

[@AllisonGraham]

Hey - is a tactic to say “new style of vlogging” 1045 times important for SEO? Serious question. I’m 11:50 in and still have zero understanding of what new style of vlogging is.

[@ThinkMediaPodcast]

What did you think of Benji’s 3T framework? Did that help clarify?

[@AllisonGraham]

@@ThinkMediaPodcast haven’t gotten that far yet - have to go to meetings but saved to finish later. I know there will be huge value - and it’s likely a style that fits me naturally (Alleluia !!) (IF i understand it’s simply more natural, longer form, less editing ) - but I’m still piecing it together. Is the repetition important as an SEO tool or was it just a natural accident to say it so much in the first portion?

[@AllisonGraham]

@@ThinkMediaPodcast oh and thanks for responding - wasn’t expecting that from a large channel. Nice surprise!

[@TheArtOfJerry]

🎉🎉🎉Great insightful. Benji great knowledge you are giving us. A big thank you. You make me more hopeful in starting the new vlogging. I don't know telling stories are so important. Creating video we are having fun with. Good advice, be neutral with comments. I love your Christian living. Having a Christian mentor, goes a long way, super helpful 🎉

[@LenniePetersonFineArt]

This is amazing, the timing is perfect, maybe even life changing. THANK YOU

[@rayrichbrown]

Sooo good to see Benji! 👏🏼 😎

[@ThinkMediaPodcast]

🔗

[@VintagePeach]

Wow! This is an amazing video for someone wanting to start blogging. So much good info.❤

[@alicepirola7077]

Excellent job guys! Much covered that is so applicable to the KZbin journey. Thank you both🎉

[@KitBetts-Masters]

This is brilliant, i feel like you guys went up a level in this conversation! Also, side note, i think that Sean just got a bit schooled. In his mind it's like "oh man, i work so hard on my content and Benji is just taking the Osmo to costco and getting views....".

[@CRSeMotiveHeartbeats]

Very encouraging to see your determination and hard work. Thank you

[@happyhauntslibrary]

This video was pure GOLD! Thanks so much for so many philosophical and practical tips to grow my channel through vlogs. I now feel more confident on how to find my Halloween people!! 👻🎃

[@TheHairyDurdles]

I’m a skateboarder & singing bass player, that’s my fun! After listening to this whole episode over 4 to 5 sessions… I’m really thinking about leaning into it and building a true audience that would be interested in getting to know me while I share my experiences learning new songs, learning new tricks, hearing our original and cover songs, and overall just sharing the process of both of my passions. Thx 👊🏼🤙🏽🙏🏼🫵🏼

[@juanita.darlene]

The irony. I made my first “vlog” video and did exactly this. All other videos I’ve tried to make with that style were a pill to edit, incredibly time consuming, and felt chaotic and pointless. Who cares that I had a green juice before watching a new Netflix series? Talking about ONE thing in a vlog style is just something I decided to do for my own sanity. But apparently it’s the ‘new’ thing! What luck.

[@TravelGarda]

Thanks for the tips, very interesting, I follow you from Italy. I did not know Benji. I really liked his personality, now I have subscribed to his channel, he is a nice person, and I like his new way of vloggin, I take the example

[@annacatanzaritimusic]

Oh my goodness you guys read my mind I am looking at starting a vlog style channel in the next couple of months about my journey into start Music Production (at 35 years old 🤪) and focusing on different topics within that .. I'm excited about it but nervous as well 😬😊😊

[@paddyvillareal]

Im actually started this kind of vlogging before see this podcast. Im always watching my favorite travel vloggers like Luke Damant and Dale Philip. Their style of vlog is like unscripted and unplanned. They will just go to random street, places and buy anything of talking to the people and yet viewers enjoying it im included. Their videos is 40 to 1 hour long but more of their viewers finished it till the end. One more is Sam Sulek he has million followers now just documenting his fitness journey. So now im also starting this kind of vlogging because its no pressure to me i feel that is my real personality and im enjoying it. Ill come back to this comment once i see a progress and im sure there will be. See you again guys! ❤

[@hajiranankoma4255]

Hello I am a small KZbinr and these videos are really adding something on my youtube journey

[@yummivity2535]

Glad to have Benji back!!😊

[@lynncobb]

Thank you both. I am very careful with my gear purchases and keep going between the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and the Sony EV10 Mark II. I hate regretting purchases. You have just made my decision for me - I’m purchasing the DJI Osmo Pocket 3…I’m ready to Simplify the entire process, make it fun & easy and and “just hit record :))

[@lisamonalisahikes]

Thanks so much. Trying to figure my style of video… what works for me. I’m a new content creator 😅 just trying to be me

[@Refreshandinspire]

Interesting blogging comparison ❤❤❤👌👌👌🩵🩵🩵

[@madmedia4825]

If you have a big channel already, would starting a themed vlog as a playlist for your channel in addition to some of your regular style content hurt your performance or would it only add to your success, as long as you're sticking your channel theme?

[@seedelle3883]

Great info. You totally learn so much by doing. The fails and the success

[@joshuabboyd]

I love think media but youtube secrets was a very underwhelming book

[@erikpfeiffer1493]

I like these deep dives but at some point it makes me think this is „overthink media“ 😅

[@ThinkMediaPodcast]

💀

[@Taraaben]

This is pretty much how I create my vlogs. Being a single mum and working full time this is the only way I’d ever be able to make any content.

[@TopAgentKen]

Thanks for sharing Benji gonna try vlogging

[@KingLyRiiix]

Literally the only video on this top In such depth🎉

[@themodernbookwoman]

I may be new to YT but I'm not new to social media and life, and I treat negative comments on YT the same way I treat neg comments in real life or anywhere else.... and this is the advice I'd give to anyone, but is what I tell my kids about bullies and poor behavior: 1. The way people treat you says more about them than it does about you. And the way you treat people says the same. 2. I don't care about the opinions of people outside my inner circle, who don't know me on any type of intimate level. If you don't really know me, your opinion of me, doesn't matter to me. Like you said, what my close family and friends think and feel is the only thing that matters, and at the end of the day, what I think of myself is what matters MOST! 3. Roosevelt's quote about the man in the arena... if someone isn't in the arena fighting the same fight, their feedback is not valuable. Spectators aren't fighting your fight, and therefore, their negative feedback and judgment is irrelevant.

[@babyhughie974]

Hey! Loved the information, if you put God first then your spouse your sure to be in order ❤️

[@ThinkMediaPodcast]

So true!

[@BoardsBikesAndHikes]

Favorite Think media podcast episode yet

[@whenbirdiesfly]

This was such a great video! Thank you! 😊

[@ruyakoman269]

Great conversation! In line with what was discussed in this video, it would be great if you could cover the explosion of 'walking tour' videos on KZbin.

[@mississippiapple1078]

The duo is back!

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Man. I remember daily vlogging. It was a wild time. Vlogged my youngest childs birth

[@Accident_Watch]

Thanks ❤

[@Getupg-p3x]

Very helpful thanks

[@PeterTrainer]

Nice job guys 👌😉

[@ThinkMediaPodcast]

Thank you 😁

[@shannonkringen]

I've had my channel since 2005 and I have less than 2,000 subscribers and I do this talking heads thing that you're talking about so I'm not sure why I don't attract more subscribers but I'm pretty eccentric and I'm on the autism spectrum

[@anthonyimbasciani]

I just posted a video of me trying to do this. I have tons of footage of me filming my first KZbin video I decided to start posting them.

[@SunsyloSouvannaraj-rh6zm]

I started my channel for over a month now and I do want viewers to comment on all my videos whether it positive or negative it doesn’t matter 😀

[@TikiTim]

This video could have been 10mins 🤫🤫

[@jetsetjourneysofficial]

starts around 10:49

[@daddytekky]

How it became new style? I am seeing the style long time from other vloggers

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

How do you know that the "You're starving your children" comment wasn't sarcasm? It think as a creator we should always look to the positives of comments... believe me, I get my fair share of negative comments... I'm not the best fisherman and people berate me... but I am thankful for their comment. They were moved enough to comment. They gave me feedback... I can take it on, laugh, ALWAYS REPLY positively, that disarms them... Remember anyone negatively commenting will always be done by people doing less than you.

[@musespirit]

Is your book, youtube secrets still relevent? Should I buy it, or something newer you've put out?

[@ThinkMediaPodcast]

Yes - 2nd edition is what is on Amazon right now. It was just updated. 💯
