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 💯💯✅👍

[@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.

[@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🙏🏽

[@the_italian_coach]

I see your channel is pretty big now (89k), was it already big before the vlog style or did it just exploded with the new way of vlogging? 😁

[@VlogLife247]

@@the_italian_coachI think the channel definitely grew adapting my vlogging style. Looking at my first vlog videos I got better (editing etc) as time went on. Starting the channel for the family to see our visits sure took the pressure off doing videos but as the channel grew I decided to grow with it, meaning trying to find my vlogging style. Trying different styles of vlogging is a must, as different people like different things. I realised it's all about finding the Vlogging style that YOUR audience likes about YOU doing it. Vlogging in a Sam Sulek style may work for some but not for others as the audience doesn't connect with you vlogging that way, while having a more polished vlogging style may work. Thanks for checking out my channel and for your comment! keep going and growing🙏🏼

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@the_italian_coach]

Totally agree 👏🏻

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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 🙌

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

[@TexasTherapist]

It’s not free any longer 😡

[@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.

[@the_italian_coach]

Keep on going man! Fitness will help lots of people in the future! 😁💪🏻 from a "colleague" 🙂

[@adamferrell]

@ I appreciate it man 💪🏻

[@the_italian_coach]

@@adamferrell 💪🏻😁

[@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!

[@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

[@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😂

[@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❤❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@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!

[@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. :)

[@gloriouslifeonwheels3621]

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

[@soyjohannalopez]

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.

[@IRLBobby]

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.

[@MosesKabandana]

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

[@TheMokhemisaBunch]

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

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 💚👍🏼

[@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 💪😎

[@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!

[@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!

[@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?

[@Simply_Phuket]

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!!!

[@seoulmansupra]

[@christianadventurefilms]

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.

[@AntonStetner]

[@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....".

[@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 👊🏼🤙🏽🙏🏼🫵🏼

[@TopShelfHunters]

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

[@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!

[@MattQuilliec]

It’s to keep you watching 🤣 It’s called retention. No wonder it’s a big YT channel 😉

[@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?

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!! 👻🎃

[@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.

[@LenniePetersonFineArt]

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

[@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! ❤

[@alicepirola7077]

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

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 🎉

[@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.

[@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

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

[@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.

[@Lungnimxyz]

[@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

We can't discredit the fact that he had already established a youtube following. I think this played a part also.

[@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?

[@mississippiapple1078]

The duo is back!

[@RickMcGovern]

I don't see people brushing their teeth in vlogs, it's always seems to be making coffee (sometime tea) and it's actually really annoying lol and they do it every video as if we didn't watch them make coffee the last 5 videos. We know you drink coffee haha

[@amyspring8367]

Sean, I wanted to make a confession...months ago I left you an indignant message (comment) about you charging so much for courses, etc. I have followed Think Media forever and I think I expressed those negative statements because I was afraid you guys were no longer going to be accessible. I'M SORRY!! I hope you will forgive me. So, ironically, here I am signed up for your Free 5-Day Challenge in July and your channel is my mentor to have courage to begin a KZbin journey. Thank you for being authentic and for caring for the small channels and the not-yet-existent ones.
