[@PrettyWhiteLady]

I'm going to need to watch this video about two or three times, but so far the tips are abundant! I believe today is the day that I officially make my first video because I had to dump all the old videos off of my 2009 Panasonic SDR-H4OP/PC (the HD stood for hard drive back then, high def was just a glimmer in, maybe Star Wars creator guy's eyes?) Hahaha . I signed up to the 1000 things challenge!

[@chadsanford894]

How to do it on mobile?

[@patrickspiegel]

For anybody who is still contemplating whether or not to start a channel. As someone who started last year, it was the best decision I made!!

[@aurasphere87]

This is my favorite video of all time. I seriously mean that. Im 36 and relearning technology, entering into content creation. This will be my ultimate roadmap. Thank you so very much.

[@DominicQuintanilla]

Finally got the nerves out and started!! 2024 is the year! Huge thanks to the entire Think Media team for all of the amazing content!

[@sumdaybecame2day]

I'm with you! I just loaded a combination of short videos and pictures in iMovie! Cheers to doing it afraid!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thank you about the advise from your phone. I did a video facing looking at the lens instead of me seeing myself and I felt a lot better.

[@MSPACELOG]

Thank you for this video. I learned valuable lessons from it and actually got some great ideas and updated the things I already knew about.

[@Roamingthecotswolds]

Really has helped me set up my KZbin channel so many thanks.

[@sdvlt]

HI and thanks for your info. If somebody watches only a small part of the video or skips parts of it ,does it still count as one view? and if the same person watches the video lets say 5 times, do those count as 5 views ? oh sorry, another question,,do people have to watch the ads not skip them for you to get paid /count as a view.. Thanks in advance

[@MonkeyTime-kq1bs]

Great video! I’m a VRA member and I feel like the teachers assistant just gave us a review before the exam. Lol. I definitely feel more confident that I’m going to ace that sucker now. Thanks for this one.

[@TheCorpOfc]

Actually, seems like this video is better than VRA.. I’m in VRA also and finished Niche Finder.. But I was really needing more of what this video has..

[@TRAINERJAYY91]

I just posted my 1st long video, thanks to you guys in very proud

[@burksgarage]

Great stuff I watched it all :)

[@stevemurphy2064]

Nice job! Clear and easy to understand!

[@girlpower_rm]

[@Goodhealth997]

Thanks

[@MutaFlorenceChokani]

Very informative indeed!!! Thank you for all your helpful tips and tricks.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@toksthoughts]

thanks

[@EJAYTheBHB]

7:39 I just had this happen yesterday. It felt amazing and the question was relative to the video.

[@karlbodmer4368]

I wish I had this video before, but at the end of the day the most important thing is how popular you are. When I found out that I could trigger organic growth after getting first 1000 subs (using a bit of Famester), everything got a lot easier for me and my channel blew up massively. People are just looking at your numbers when searching for some content. If you have low subs no one cares about you, even if you make the best content on platform.

[@edwardmadden1998]

what is famester?

[@DopeReplica]

It's a slang. He means becoming popular

[@powermariobros]

Dang KZbin is harsh!

[@Fedrowreview]

*56 subscribers*

[@InGusWeTrust810]

What channel of yours are you referring to? I’m tryna see if your channel is worth watching!

[@paustavlogs2969]

Thanks idol

[@MattxHues]

New Creator here. This was reflective and full of knowledge. Thanks for the drop. Hoping to learn and grow alongside you. :) Keep up the grind.

[@michaelreynolds4.0]

Appreciate the nuggets! Ive started my channel and need to grow...

[@brucebrucefoundation]

Hell yeah! I’m trying to learn the business aspect of it as well!

[@GeorgeGarcia70]

Great video! Step by step, very clear and simplified. How do you get the face in there circle while sharing your screen. Also if you can make a video on how to make reaction videos and what software’s to use.

[@BD-YouTube-Developer]

thnks

[@vernonchristopher1379]

I'm blown away!! 😂😂😂 Great video!! 😊😊😊

[@YDgraphics3]

Amazing

[@seangoeswest]

@thinkmediatv Thanks, Nolan! Just snagged the Viltrox 20mm. It's not something you recommended, but I began with your recommendation for the Sigma, Viltrox 20MM was just a bit more affordable. So jus wanted to say thanks and support the magic! --------> Still pondering if 'Sean Cannell' is a stage name though - it's suspiciously cool and just TOO on BRAND lol 😄 you've got me sold on everything else.. 😄 Thanks for always making great content!

[@ProjectAZL]

U earned a sub dude and a like

[@axemanarbor]

Slight latency is distracting. Slightly. Love your work ❤

[@West-sm]

This is useful

[@kaelinfloyd]

12:08 These are so good ideas

[@MichaelRettig-MA]

Thanks for the video. I read one post online that epidemic sound does not let you keep the music that you downloaded after your subscription ends. For example, if you upload a KZbin video with an epidemic sound while you have a subscription, and then your subscription expires, then the KZbin video you uploaded would be flagged for copyright. Is this true? Your video contradicts, and that post was one of the reasons why I second-guessed getting epidemic sounds, so I just wanted to clarify that point before I signed up

[@Monefsjungle]

Incredible, this is sooooo helpful. Can you do Monet McMichael next?

[@user-rg4cw7tj9d]

I'm afraid this was MASS CONFUSION for me. I can tell that you undoubtedly know exactly what you're talking about (here it comes) BUT, I'm in my 60s and TRULY a beginner. I'm in desperate need of income to add to my disability and I'm afraid this may have scared me off! Lol All kidding aside, I found the info was given much too quickly and my head hurts now. Honestly, I may be WAY out of my league. I have however managed to post a couple of my kitty videos. Tee hee🎉 Have a blessed and beautiful day. Think I'll pray about it some more😂

[@anaene2592]

why didn't you start posting

[@sumdaybecame2day]

Can I insert small clips from movies into my videos for creative flare? I'm not sure what the creativity rules are? Thank you for your guidance in ensuring we have structured content.

[@billvinson7859]

Great information. I have already done the double down on a Godzilla 30 second video which got 66.5 thousand views and got almost 3 thousand views for the next one. I still have a lot to learn. I do Astrophotography Star time lapses. ❤

[@ElizabethNeedham-hk3bj]

What do you use to edit your videos and what do you use for the stock videos that you pull in?

[@div_vijayan]

Just recorded my first video!! 😅 Thanks to you guys!

[@debspringchannel831]

I just want to use voice over and visuals , what websites are best for images and what sound equipment is best as a beginner?

[@robertf57]

At 23:45 in, we see that what you're camera is shooting is being displayed on a computer screen to your left? How did you do that? How did you project your camera's viewport onto your computer screen? Thanks.

[@NattyGeek78]

For my Hook, I like to use a geeky moment that happens organically that references the video topic. Is that good.

[@anticonfidencegirl]

I love the content but would still need guideline to write script. “Bullet points”: the issue I have is when I rehearse the script in my mind I find phrasing of sentences that are nice so I write them down word for word but then when I’m on camera I could feel trapped in the text while having to freestyle because I wrote bullet points. So my brain is torn apart btw the 2 styles, free style and bullet points and that doesn’t feel good at all
