content: If that is the room where you always going to record your videos - perhaps you should consider some acoustic panels to kill that extreme echo.

content: Or get a decent Lav.But yes, feedback noted. Thanks. Edit: And you just reminded me that I have a bunch of ridiculously expensive Jocavi acoustic panels in storage doing nothing, leftover from a job. Win!At least the video quality made a huge step from video 1.Baby steps

content: He started the same as you, when he joined YouTube. It's slow at first. You can't put up 2 videos and quit your job.You have to earn viewers byProducing videos that people want to see,Producing those videos regularly and often.YouTube Content Creators don't get views if they don't give people something they want to see, and they don't get subscribers if they don't produce content with some reasonable frequency.So, keep going, don't let viewership or AdSense check amounts slow you down, and soon, if you're producing good content, you'll watch your channel grow and grow and grow.More or less.

content: You are correct on all points, and that's great advice, however I meant that comment to be a bit toungue in cheek, with regards to how much work you must need to do to turn a profit on YouTube.Thankfully, business is kind to me at the moment and I'm not looking at giving it up to be a youtuber in the near future

content: Quote from: SteveyG on February 16, 2015, 08:33:52 amDave's tweet helped kick things off for the first video, and now the second video has gone mildly viral.I think I just coined a new phrase haha - is that an oxymoron?I could do with some advice:Is it better to wait until my new lav mic turns up to do the third video, or is it better to just keep releasing content?

content: Quote from: funkyant on February 16, 2015, 09:36:50 amWhy wait?If you have some content that will hold your audience attention go for it.At first I did 3 in a row, and then backed off a bit. Now have not done one in a while due to time.For me the longer I wait the more excuses I come up why not to make a video.You got off to a good start especially since Dave chimed in on ya.
