How to Be Consistent on YouTube - 10 Step YouTube Checklist

[@OffbeatLook]

I love how you're so proud of that shower you took

[@DaliborSaula]

Just have to get a phone with a smellometre. Then you will be set

[@KimTownsel]

OffbeatLook - Beauty and Lifestyle with Camille 🤣😂🤣 my daughter in law says that having to take showers and grooming irritates me because I can't multitask!

[@Kingman1359]

I was literally looking for this comment, glad to see it at the top lolol

[@tianahordinarygirl3992]

Hahahahahah......

[@JosephineDeSmet]

right? made me laugh, as if that's such a drag to do (says the girl walking around in onesies all the time)

[@DrawItTooTV]

I think, one of the things not mentioned is creating templates for video editing. I have a template for each of my different types of videos which makes it easier for me to just drag my clips and drop them in my editing timeline. In my templates, my intro is in place as well as my end card and outro. I also have placeholders for all of my text with all the necessary animations, and all I have to do is type in my new text.

[@FatBoyDoug]

That’s a great tip!

[@JJ-uw4lf]

Hi What editing software do you use? I'd love to create place holders and just type in the text. Let me know :)

[@AlvariuxGaming]

What do you mean?

[@Diamond88keyz]

[@dheepankarthiksworld6419]

I think templates are mostly for animation niche. He is giving tips for all types of niches

[@CreativeThinking52]

Awesome breakdown. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. ❤😂🎉😊

[@thereelremedy7295]

Batch recording is definitely the way to go. Especially when you have a 9 to 5 job outside of KZbin like I do. Taking a shower also helps. :)

[@TheGracefulGlowup]

Seriously! I've started doing this once per month and editing at one time as well. That has literally changed everything.

[@thereelremedy7295]

Yeah this can work. Film 4 videos once a month and edit them throughout the month

[@kittyrodriguez7179]

Haha! Batch recording is the best way lol especially when you have a 9-5 lol I'm happy to learn I'm not the only one doing this lol

[@kittyrodriguez7179]

+Fatima Wow, I gunna try and do that!!

[@ThatEveFabie]

Hahaha so happy to know that batch recording is actually happening, I thought it was just me too! Yeah because of 9-6day job 😂

[@BernadetteTeachesMusic]

Hey! I'm gonna shower, do my makeup, and batch record today. Wish me luck

[@TurboBeads]

Here is a TIP: find something that drives and motivates you pushes you to want to do more, film something everyday, even if its just a min long, use the shots later. use clips from old vids.

[@karenzhang1020]

Justin Bennett I think the same! Great tip. 💪

[@adamgalley7458]

For me the succulent made the video.

[@martysgarden]

Change it to a herb next,,mix it up hehehe

[@Velogi]

My tip for being consistent is to shoot a couple of extra videos which you can publish when you don't have time to shoot a new video in time. By doing that you can still stay consistent and serve your subscribers by keeping your publishing schedule.

[@rva]

I'm a serial batcher!!! doing a video a day. x

[@catherinenorris.7762]

Thanks . I did two videos yesterday for my daily vlog. I will post them by noon today. Great information.

[@onceuponasynth]

Great tips! I especially like the part about doubling your energy to appear "normal" on video, definitely something I need to work on. Thanks for this vid!

[@thelivediet8374]

once upon a synth agreed!

[@KACZMARCZYK4369]

Started making videos when my energy improved after changing my diet

[@GirlmeetsWorld-we3cz]

I so need to work on this tip as well. lol

[@KimTownsel]

once upon a synth I agree! When I batch shoot, I try to make sure I get plenty of rest and get up and have a lot of energy that day so it comes across on the footage. I can tell the difference when I'm just having to shoot video because I think I'm behind or a little stressed. It shows up.

[@KimberlyRisingTV]

I'm literally sitting here typing notes. Thank you Sean! As a new KZbinr, what's helped me get a handle on the type of content I want to put out (and a tip I was glad to hear you mention) is writing out a list of video ideas for the month, along with the main points I want to hit in each video. For instance, if I want to post 1 video per week on my health and fitness channel, I list out week 1: "What I Ate This Week"- macros for each meal, costs, prep/cook time , week 2: "Fitness Fashion Look Book"- which clothing company, costs, comfort level, etc. Basically, you fail to plan and you plan to fail!

[@ARCHIEzzle]

Really helpful Sean! That's what people don't understand about how much time and effort comes into making youtube videos. You explained and helped out a lot of people. Keep it up!

[@kofitesla4167]

Thank you so much. I am a student who just started a youtube channel and at the same time school. Have been struggling with this consistency thing and have never considered batching. For me, thats the SECRET.Once again thank you soo much.

[@conspiracies1014]

I love how he really enjoys putting in all the work into his videos. So who would give this video or any other video from Think Media a thumbs down?

[@BetterTodaywithJasonCruz]

I landed here four years later, and thank goodness I did a batch shoot for my first few videos! Sean, same thing I said on Nick Nimmin's channel: you two have allowed me to 'punch fear in the face' and to take action on a project I wanted to do 2.5 years ago (which was to start a KZbin channel, and share what I know as a teacher). Thanks, and keep doing what you do!

[@artluver94c]

Setting up an atmosphere is great. Aesthetics are something we all subconsciously look for in everything. We all realize within a few seconds whether we want to watch the video were watching or not.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

LOVE THIS!!! Thanks for sharing!!! For me, I also work a full-time job, so I'm trying to figure how to batch shoot WHILE making time for my family!!!

[@alexanderlyon]

Batching is great. I also do a few "takes" of each video and use the best one. I'm better at talking than editing so this simplifies my A Roll editing and saves time on that end of the process. An extra hour in front of the camera saves me lots of hours editing.

[@Russman]

Damn this is pure genius. I'm learning so much from this channel. Keep going!

[@MrBurtonsoares]

I don't know if anyone has told you but the way you talk is very clear and simple for anyone to understand Awesome

[@NadineFelice]

Your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you so much!!

[@IsabellaDemarko]

awesome channel! i find your videos much more helpful than any other youtube advice videos out there! :)

[@Viviane_Okorie]

Batching will help me a lot. Shooting takes so much time and energy.

[@BenGKaiser]

My biggest tip to consistency is committing to something you are willing to accomplish. Secondary tip: Have your camera and mic setup somewhere so you can just jump in and roll it!

[@65Drums]

Seriously helpful video, thank you!!

[@jazerleepiano]

Thanks so much for this Sean! You're amazing and your work ethic inspires me to no end! :D

[@DearMamaSal]

Did an awesome batch recording: Drove to do a "field trip". Put down 3 videos on the drive, two at the venue and then took enough stills for another video that requires stills. Productive! A week's worth of video on one trip :)

[@allyteacher3489]

It always boggles my mind how useful the content on this channel is. Thanks for all your help! I have one day a week with no grad school classes and no tutoring gigs scheduled, so that'll be my filming day! It never occured to me to batch film.....which is ridiculous because I already do batch cooking and batch writing for my lesson plans!....duh!

[@davidlabbe8595]

Thank you for doing what you do. It really helps all of us who are figuring this stuff out and are just starting out. You guys are awesome.

[@afterfurtherreview]

Been hooked on your content for almost a month now, definitely think you make the best videos for people looking to take a serious step towards semi-pro/pro content creation. Your videos always look clean, are extremely informative, and keep me interested for their entirety. Might have to stop watching other people crush it and start crushing it myself!

[@Gemstonetarot]

Thank you for this it's really practical and useful 🙏✨

[@plumpvlogs5001]

I had problems with shooting 3 videos a week, because I work 8 hours, do gym & meal prep, so doing this in a badge is very usefull to try out. Also, putting more energy in my thumbnails & my social media is a good idea! Love watching these videos, helps me out! Thanks

[@SteveAtkinsonFineArt]

Hey Sean, I know this vid is a couple of years old now, but it is so full of useful tips and tricks. Thank you for making my job easier by helping me with my process! Think Media rocks!!

[@JoyfulLivingLinda]

I am just starting a mini series and learning how to get better at KZbin, therefore I am not batching YET because so many things are happening. But I have two days each week where I shoot and edit. It's SO much fun to learn!

[@BandodeEstudiosos]

thank you so much my friend

[@budgetmindedconsumer6707]

Batching is the way to go. That is my strategy for the time being. It really does eliminate the need to setup everything all over again. Do it all in full swoop. It will save you time. Thanks Sean, for the awesome advice!

[@gailspotpourri2930]

Shower, lights, camera, action .... Love it.

[@ErnoPaulinyi]

Sean, how do you handle multiple channels? How do you prioritize which content goes to which channel?

[@saritaprincesaa]

This was actually EXTREMELY helpful!! One thing I know I need to work on is my consistency haha. Thanks so much!!

[@theorganizedcountrygirl4002]

Well, I just started a month ago....but so far.....I've learned that scheduling time on my days off, when I'm not rushed for better lighting produces better pictures. Especially because I'm filming in an iPhone and not a batter camera. I've also learned to edit when no one else is at home to distract me/call me/need me.....

[@jtmnavy]

As the biggest Navy KZbin Channel ,, i've realized Batch Recording doesn't work for me :/ but thats okay! Everyone has their own style and creative process ! For me i can only focus on 1 or 2 major projects or "videos" per day. I get creative burnout easy after the 2nd video and to be honest I like the satisfaction of editing the video right away :) Keep up the great content !!

[@FoiblesandFancies]

I only have a 2-3 hour block of time on Sat and Sun to work with, and as a newbie editing takes forever! I did my first batch (of 3) videos last weekend and you’re right, it’s taken a lot of pressure off. Need to keep at it, and get even more videos filmed in one batch. The B roll was new to me, and will change my YouTubing life. I loved all of your tips in this video, thanks for sharing!

[@Raf_Avila]

This was EXTREMELY helpful thank you so much!!!! Before the vid began I was going to ask if you used a script haha. How often do you film the batches of video? Once a week? Once a month?

[@Softwarestax]

This has been a HUGE help. I just joined and am learning all the ins and outs. My channel is mainly on Sales and Life from a Sales Rep's perspective. Think Media has helped me get started! Easily a top 3 channel in my opinion. It's a good idea to 'waste' your time here.

[@DearMamaSal]

Oh, and THANK YOU ... closing my browser and taking my phone to another room made it possible to really concentrate on a couple of things. I didn't realize how distracted that I had been

[@SystemCrafters]

Dude, this is one of the best videos I've ever seen about producing KZbin videos. I've learned at least 3 new things that I'm going to use in upcoming shoots!

[@unexpectedlifeofus6787]

Each time I watch one of your videos I think that's a great idea and I add it to the list of your great ideas. Then I find myself overwhelmed with great ideas that I don't even know where to start.

[@bballcoachallen]

For myself I do videos everyday so I make sure I have the video done the day before and scheduled for the next day.

[@forevertrue06]

I love how transpatent you are about how to be successful on YT. We all def look forward to all the insight u share. so thx

[@aishizen4120]

I'm just starting a french channel and your videos help me big time, just know that you help people worldwide! :)

[@kamal-jahid]

Love your videos man. Keep'em coming

[@TheDoctorWhoGuide]

This video should be required watching for anyone looking to be a consistent KZbinr! Great advice Sean!

[@KatieKookaburra]

Such good tips - cheers!

[@ZiaAlexis]

Scheduling out the videos before starting to create would be my biggest strategy to staying consistent.

[@fuzionlatina]

Hey Sean, This by far has to be one of the best most valued filled video I love it! These detailed breakdowns are soooo helpful.

[@mattural20]

Man. The wealth of information you hand out on this channel is staggering, so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much. Love your (and Benji's) book, too. So worth it, and so worth supporting you guys.

[@YourDriverMike]

Absolutely awesome content, I need to start blocking even more and writing outlines! Nice point on shooting for social media as well!

[@fortressofintegrity4215]

I'm just starting out, but my thought was that as soon as I write a Blog Post/Article or Course material turn that into an outline so I already know what I don't feel so overwhelmed trying to come up with more content. Thanks for the info. This really helped me create my Workflow for this, which is one I was struggling with. I hate reinventing the wheel every time and so if I can create a Workflow/Checklist that works with some modifications along the way I do it.

[@KarmasPeaces]

Always so thorough and organized. Love your videos and sense of humor! My best productivity hack is shutting my phone off during certain blocks of time, closing the door, lol and when my phone is on, setting an alarm to eat food and drink water. 🤗

[@Faye_Doll89]

I'm really thankful for this video, I totally hadn't thought of all of the aspects to batch producing. And, I have a 40/hr a week job that requires all morning shifts so I'm up early during the other 2 days which allows me time to think of ideas and create outlines for videos. One thing I completely let slip past me until this video was, EXTRA BATTERIES!! I have sd cards like 4 of them and they are ok size but, seriously the batteries I hadn't thought about and for the cheap camera I have. The price is amazing as well so it'll definitely help me get into a consistent schedule with my videos. Thank you so much, again for making this video. :)

[@SocialWoodWorksTV]

I wish I had some tips, I am the worst at being consistent. I promise you that I will definitely be using all of your tips to become more consistent.

[@heathishere5578]

i love doing my let's plays in a batch! I do a vlog before my weekly recording session to keep consistent on those!

[@juliaruth785]

Hi there! I've been stalking your channel all day because I'm looking to start a beauty and lifestyle channel here on KZbin (probably not for a few months yet) and I just wanted to tell you how helpful your videos are! I'm literally taking notes! Your videos are making this dream of mine feel much more attainable and I'm very excited, so thank you! I'm subscribed and I will definitely keep creeping on your channel😂😂

[@iamkatielouise]

This is a great video! Very specific and helpful. A lot more specific than some of the other "youtube advice" videos I've watched.

[@TomasSandanusGuitar]

Very inspiratory tips thanks!

[@TruFinancials]

How many sets do most of you have as a background? So far I only have the 1 I have used for all my videos, but wondering if it would be worth moving around the house to have different backgrounds.

[@DesiDeutsche]

These tips will be of great help! I try my best to stay consistent and because of that every Friday night I'm working on my videos till 4-5 am. Thanks, I might finally be able to get good sleep even when the weekends are approaching.

[@InteriorDost]

Great one. Making video early morning can also be good.

[@ontheotherhand9929]

Batch recording is the best thing to do. I work fulltime and sit on non profit boards. My videos go live every Sunday at 9 am. So i write scripts every sunday night and then record whenever I can. Also, doing all of the pictures at one time helps a lot. Since I dont have different channels, I have different shelves, when I introduce a new shelf I try to be 9 weeks out with videos so I dont get behind. Great vid keep it up.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Love your workflow! Keep crushing it!

[@jessicakwan2140]

Give this man a beer! This is what I call good preparatory and looking into minor details like even small objects make a big difference

[@MandyN]

Thanks for the tips. I usually try to dedicate a day of the week or so to film and edit as I only do this during my own time while I still have a full time job. I try to have my content ready before the film day and I manage to post a video each week. There are videos that I'm less happy with as there are some weeks that I'm more busy than others where I have less energy to film. But I make a promise to my viewers on my channel that I try my best to post once a week other than if I'm out of town. :) I keep myself motivated each week to film by watching youtube videos like your's during my breaks at work.

[@mikekloepfer7424]

This is great! I'm already starting to batch my social media posts. Batching, blocking time, and having a checklist are brilliant. I can hardly wait to use these strategies. :)

[@TheTayraPerezProject]

Useful, thanks!

[@DepressionTalks1]

I can't begin to tell you how helpful this videos was! Wow, for real. Thanks for sharing!

[@thefutureretrogamer4749]

Thanks for the tips Sean! I’m soaking in all the KZbin growth advice.

[@khidarshprema694]

Hey a video on how to colour grade a footage please sean

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Will do - added to the list!

[@willeditsvids]

+SMART TEQ (The New QTube) It depends on the mm of your lens. If it's a kit lens (18-55mm) then you need a 58mm Lens Hood. Just google "lens hood for x lens".

[@willeditsvids]

+SMART TEQ yep no problem!

[@NurseMurse]

Yes def looking forward to this video

[@ChaseMountains]

the succulent looks great bro. I couldn't fault it.

[@tayannah]

I have a vlog channel where I post once a week. A lot of times when I'm editing, I don't have enough b-roll of my surroundings. So on days when I am not vlogging, I like to go out into my little town and shoot b-roll of my environment. I'm essentially batching my b-roll to be used when I haven't filmed enough to be used on a particular day.

[@TryingtoMom]

I’m going to have to watch this again and take notes!

[@JuliaHunterHavens]

This is AMAZING! and SO HELPFUL!

[@ABeautifulHorizonTV]

Definitely going to try batching! For most girls we don't just have to shower, it's makeup and hair too! haha. So much time saved. The switching shirts tip is genius.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

TRUE! Yes.... all the time getting ready used more efficiently!

[@FoxxDenn]

I relate so heavily to this! Just starting my channel and I've been nervous that I won't look right or have time to do it all, but batching will definitely help!

[@robinpokorny]

This is one of the best videos Sean made. And I've seen dozens of them. The tips are great and we see an actual backstage of his videos. Maybe it's not that shiny, but for me, that makes it more trustworthy. You see making videos *is* hard work, yet it is manageable. Thank you!

[@Aztecathletics]

I've been working on building up my consistency and this was a GOLD MINE of tips! Thank you so much for this awesome video! I especially like the batch video concept! I'm going to save so much time doing that single tip!!!!!

[@AndyTheESLGuy]

This is absolutely amazing information man! I've watched so many of your videos and want to personally thank you for the help you give to all of us! Just bought a Canon m50 because of your advice....1 video using it and I'm loving it! Keep up the great work ya legend!

[@parkerburgio]

Thank you so much. This is the most useful KZbin beginner I have ever seen!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Saved this to my personal playlist. Awesome tips man. Thanks!

[@superman71790]

Thank you so much. This video helped me so so much. Starting from zero. Starting MESSY!!!!

[@sujoymondal5337]

your lighting condition is really superb. not more not less

[@Beckyfrom_Bama]

So, this week, I'm totally binge watching all of your videos. Thank you for the content!! I am getting so many great ideas. Keep producing!

[@thelivediet8374]

New KZbinr here - Thanks for making these incredibly specific videos - I started by searching for what I wanted to know & found you! Turns out you have everything I wanted to know all on one page 😝 Thanks for everything!

[@findingimpact737]

Thanks Sean. Another great video adding value to my KZbin channel journey. Keep it up!

[@willswill8163]

Those are actually great tips. When I started my channel and uploaded my first video, I promised myself to upload a new video every week. That was three weeks ago. I haven't uploaded since.

[@donmackay9315]

You are really helping me to move forward. I’ve been watching many of your videos and taking copious notes. Every time I do, I feel much more confident in the knowledge that the learning curve is gradually straightening out. You even helped me to get a part time job at Best Buy as a camera specialist. I learned much of what I know from watching your gear videos. Is there a 2019 edition of your Gear Guide?

[@ASMR_Orangely]

Wow I’ve learned a lot! Thanks! 👍🏻

[@lifeofreva284]

I've found that using a dry erase calendar helps to keep shoot days, product testing, editing and even general stuff days straight. It also helps me to keep the rythum of routine.

[@TwoHeartsOneRoof]

I've always batched sit down videos but never thought to batch social media stuff too! adding that to the list thanks!!

[@bobcieslinski]

I bought a boya lavalier mic. Why do I have to disconnect it from my phone to listen to the video?

[@kikon78]

Great stuff Sean, as always very helpful!

[@BellaAllison]

I've been taking notes on every video you upload about how to grow a youtube channel and now I uploaded my first video and I'll keep doing what I learned with you to see if it works out for me!!! Thank you!
