We Uploaded a Video Every Friday for a Year, Here's What Happened...

We uploaded a video every Friday for a year!
My name is Alex and I am the owner of an e-commerce guitar shop called, A Flash Flood of Gear. We deal with all kinds of guitars from vintage guitars to player's grade guitars ranging from Fender to Gibson and even other music equipment! We started this channel to document and show slice of life aspects to running an online business (we also do topical videos and such too).
I wanted to make this video specifically to talk about KZbin and give a real world example of what can happen if you stick to a consistent posting schedule. Also wanted to go over some things we learned along the way, some helpful tips for your videos, and hopefully show that you can this too! There's bits of info and such sprinkled throughout the video. Feel free to comment any other tips and tricks as well as if you're starting or have a KZbin channel of your own - I'd love to check it out!

I truly think that this is the best guitar based channel on youtube. I really hope that they blow up soon...as they deserve it. Best content..best production....best guitars. Keep it up, guys!

[@thejuggernaut5327]

My favorite was the Japan trip, then the sequel: The Pallets Strike Back

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Hahah yes!

[@rrdee8138]

There's a shop in NYC. The luthier makes guitars with wood from iconic buildings. Don't remember the name. You should go there

[@jvas5648]

Kelly at Carmine Street Guitars.

[@rrdee8138]

@@jvas5648 thx

[@ianfralen4838]

This has very quickly become my favorite content on the platform. As a dude who flips gear as a hobby, this is not only enjoyable content but motivational. Keep it up!

[@rrdee8138]

Yes every Friday thx soooo much. Love all the fresh finds.

[@charliew830]

Love your channel. Highly entertaining! Love to see all the stuff it takes to make a guitar business work.

[@wilhelmrogue1]

This video is a fresh find….love it!

[@jamesbeumer9240]

And I would love to see some out takes and compilation vids of the gang just having fun and doing business

[@jamesbeumer9240]

Keep the vids coming!! I love all the travel and goofing around scenes and fun stuff!! I have watched all your videos and a few I've watched repeatedly. You guys are awesome!!

[@kylemstawicki]

The Philly show video is the best because of Brad lol.

[@jorgesilva6454]

Really refreshing channel! Congrats for your work on YT! 👍👍👍

[@hunter8turkey1]

I’ve been binge watching your videos. I really enjoy them. Maybe if you can say the date your filming and date year you will be at a show. You guys are doing great and the knowledge is great to learn. Thank you.

[@rrdee8138]

Very unique. You should check it out.

[@dunk3793]

Around 10.30pm on a friday night in England is always a good time when your latest video lands. Love your channel and really appreciate how busy you guys are behind he scenes. More fresh, fun player guitar finds please :)

[@helldeirch]

I think you channel is very entertaining, it's probably tough to grow it because people want to watch about the super high end vintage guitars

[@aflashfloodofgear]

That's a good point for sure. People do love a spectacle

[@T.TEXAS.TILLER]

Best of luck in the new year

[@nicholass3628]

Great videos. That Costa Mesa video was really good, well done. Saw you on Casino Guitars. Cheers!

[@rrdee8138]

I'd like to see some content from your band if possible. Just a thought.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Search Secret Keeper or Conversation Piece on KZbin, we're all over! Might be doing some content soon featuring SK 👀

[@Allan-ts1ux]

That is a very young looking slim you for just a year ago at 2:00.. maybe all this guitar shop till you drop stuff is taking its toll out on you.. don't let that happen before you make it to the top. You are on a great start for a nice collection of some very nice guitars you are good at picking up

[@MiguelMakesMusic]

ya'll have a great channel, very homey kinda vibe. btw what is that purple lp special in the back?

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Thanks! Are you talking about the one by the explorer?

[@MiguelMakesMusic]

yes, or is it just a wine red special? @@aflashfloodofgear

[@michaelgreer4790]

Loved the journey over the past year. Keep it up. Great content. Here's to many more years (and more foreign buying trips)

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Speaking of more foreign buying trips..

[@Smart-Alex]

I like your channel, thanks for sharing this. You need more subs to match the great content! Have you considered doing a video or two partnering with a larger channel or a guitar influencer to cast a wider net?

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Yes! We're in the process of moving to a new location so a lot of our ideas are on hold. We did mention we have done some video content with other bigger channels already too 🙌

[@delespine]

I beat Eric to comment

[@aflashfloodofgear]

You did indeed
