I started a YouTube channel because I enjoy creating and sharing my lifestyle. I plan on showing my house build and other aspects of living in rural Alaska. Does anyone have any tips for creating content?

Congrats! This is something I’ve considered doing, but I have nothing of interest to share in my life and no time to create interesting content not part of my daily routine.Originally posted by shock View Post
Now, if I had more time and resources at my disposal, I would start a channel called “The gentleman farmer”, and my schtick would be to have “life style” channel where I talk about all the hard work farmers do and extols the virtues of a farmer, but what I would really do is buy cool **** and talk to a character called “hired man” that would do all the work. Also I would hunt (not a Hunter) and talk to locals and ask stupid non-farming questions. When they gave real answers, I would just buy the coolest thing and have hired man do the work and bring it back to cool gear appropriate for the job that I would own.
Not sure what you’re going for exactly, but could be a fun way to show how awesome it is to live in Alaska.
A few things other YouTubers with real knowledge have said: get a decent camera and mics. Put out regular scheduled content. Just get going.Livin the dream -

Vids should be 8 to 10 minutes long with no fluff to make them that long
30-45 second intro
1-2 second bumper

You don't HAVE to have one. It's just a really good idea to have one.Originally posted by shock View Post
You can have one made for you for $5-30, give or take. Same for a logo.
If you use fiverr, don't be surprised if you need to try two people to get one you really like, so mentally take the price x2 just to be safe.

I subscribed. If I may be so bold, I have two suggestions:
1. Find a better looking lead, preferably one with a chest line more befitting the wilds of Alaska.
2. Add some cuts and narration as to what you’re doing, why it’s awesome, and why we should join you on your adventure!Livin the dreamComment

I asked a buddy of mine that lives up the hill to bring his drone down and take some footage. He edited it like his videos, and threw the opening in. If you look at his channels, that’s how his are done. I just got done with my EMT class so now I have a little bit of screw off time to make stuff.Originally posted by wufan View PostPeople who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. -Isaac AsimovComment

Also- both of the videos on my channel were meant for family members before i decided to make this a thing. I plan on going over the mill and other things as I go.People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. -Isaac AsimovComment

I’ve also just created one to share my hikes, backpacking trips, Jeep trips, and mountain climbs.Originally posted by shock View Post
I’ll share anything I learn along the way so you don’t make the same dumb mistakes I do!
