  • would you guys wanna check out my channel plz :D

  • Thanks Jerma, I recently started making TF2 Gameplays with the same program as you, FRAPS, and everything and I hope that the people that watch my vids like them :)

  • im actually this close to giving up on my channel. Sure its only been active for 2-3 weeks but im nowadays rolling 1 video a day and they get next to no views. The only views are from my friends :( Plus tf2 isnt that popular on utube compared to cod and the sorts so i get a feeling that only the BIG names like u, niichts and shibby are the only ones able to grasp many suscribers. i duno maybe i started to late (hell im free to play :P) but i get the feeling i should give up now :(

  • @KantusThiss You know why Jarma, Shibby, and Star have so many subscribers? It's because they are commenters in there videos. Unless your videos are pro l33t montages with epic editing, your not really going to get anywhere. Just imagine this video without Jarma talking. That would be boring as fuck. No1 would really want to watch it. But since he's talking ppl like it.

  • @KantusThiss dont give up! i like your videos

  • @XLoXxL DUDE i <3 U!!! haha thnx bro

  • What do you record with?

  • what knife is that?

  • 60 in a month?!?! Bull ive gotton 22 since i started... Btw this is not my main channel

  • I don't know why but this is probably my favorite vid of yours. I love it when people go beyond the "status quo". Sure you're a YouTube gamer guy, or my teacher teaches English, but when people go that extra mile and give insigts that apply not only to TF2 or language but life... I don't know. But thanks Jerma. This vid will stick with me. Cheers, mate.

  • @Linkfanoftheyear Go google/wiki how ambassador headshots work. You know how shots are less accurate if you're spamming, but that first "cooled" shot is accurate (more or less)? Well guys how ambassador works; you need to wait like .95? sec for the crosshairs to get small or you won't headshot. Even at point blank. If you already knew this it's probably lag.

  • I love your accent :3

  • Thanks Jerma!

  • I love it so much when he says take care everybody I don't know why

  • how do you get those subs though? I only have 60 and have been at this for almost 7 months?! Help?

  • does anyone else not like the ambassador because the headshot detection is all wonky. Does this happen to anyone else, where you will shoot someone in the head twice in a row and they wont move, but you wont get the second headshot, and it wont count for points because of it.

  • Subbed. :D You are in a bunch of Shibby's vids, and I love the Grandpa thing.

  • Take care everybody...)

  • is it just me or is youtube fuced up once again because the videos i watch are slowmo and have no sound

  • Hey Jerma, i recently hit 100 subscribers. What do i do to celebrate, and what should be my next goal? Hit 100 subscribers in a little over a month. Thanks for any kind of response :)

  • I saw your video on leptirs channel and i subcribed because i liked you... You should try to do the same let other people put a video on your youtube channel so they could get subs....

  • Why can't I pause this video, lol.

  • crap u a good spy lol nice vid mate

  • Jerma, thanks so much for this video, and all of your videos...But especially this one. Im a new commentator with like 6 subs and this is exactly what i needed to see! I have so many projects I want to get started and now i know how to start them! Thank your for your encouragement and inspiration to all of us.

  • Story of my life make up see if jerma has a new video go back to sleep

  • to keep me motivated to push my self in football i would do this, i am a lineman the bigger guy of the group when we do laps i can do about 8 1 and half mile laps without having to stop for breath. each month i try to add 1 or 2 more laps. Or when in weightroom i try my hardest to add 10 or 15 pounds to my max bench sometimes 20

  • can i give you a hug?

  • Hey, one quick question. How do you reduce Fraps file size or do you take forever to upload a video? :D I really enjoy your videos, hope I could get as cool as you. Could you check for my chances on youtube? PM me if I can skype you :)

  • @DaemonHam look in to VirtualDub

  • Hey Jerma, I really REALLY want to thank you for this video, this speech. Recently I've been feeling a little down and doubting my goals but after I watched this I really think I can achieve what I want. For now I set 2 goals to myself. The more and MOST important one is - i want to become a doctor. No, not a pro medic but an actual doctor -that needs a lot of work and now that I feel more motivated I think I can actually achieve this! In the meantime I'll continue making UTub videos. THANK YOU!

  • As per Ze Frank: If you don't wanna run out of ideas the best thing to do is not to execute them. You can tell yourself that you don't have the time or resources to do 'em right. Then they stay around in your head like brain crack. No matter how bad things get, at least you have those good ideas that you'll get to later. the longer you wait, the more they convince themselves of how perfectly that idea should be executed. But the bummer is most ideas kinda suck when you do 'em.

  • This is a really good commentary. Subscribing because of it!

  • These types of commentaries mean a lot to me. I always find myself going "Well now what?" when it comes to persuing my chosen career. Success is a tricky thing. There are no set rules for it but you can never start a journey until you take a step right? Thanks again Jerma, not only is your channel incredibly entertaining, its also very inspirational.

  • Fantastic gameplay, fantastic commentary. You never fail Jerma :D

  • Thanks for this video. I just started my channel at the start of this month. I am struggling and i already knew I would but I love making videos. So I will take your advice on the goals thing and hopefully it goes good.

  • I have been doing youtube for damn near 1 yr and a half and basically if u get a couple hundred subs right off the bat, like Jerma said ur lucky. I dont wanna sound like a b!tch but if ur new and get a few hundred subs a month thays awesome!!

  • You made amazing points. When I was young I wanted to be a musician. Now I am learning you have to make small goals. You can't go from zero to a hundred immediately.

  • should i get an xbox or a pc?

  • Jerma what do you use to record I know you said this somewhere else before but I forget where

  • @BBandJproductions I use Fraps, and Audacity

  • You should be a Motivational Speaker, you made me look at myself and set a goal, by next month I want to have a 95 in my American Sign language Class, currently at a 91.

    Thanks.

  • Wow, you made me think about many things in my life

  • hi jerma, i just added you on steam.(mad snake or moda12) home you accept im a big fan. Hope we are gonna play toghether sometime :D

  • wait if i join the jerms will i get to make people sick?

  • the team you played against was completely oblivious, good job on taking advantage of them ! :)

  • Jerma, you are a great commentator on so many levels.

  • Awesome

  • I love how you sound like seinfeld

  • Jerma bare with me for a sec here :) why dont you help your subscribers get noticed with like Shout out Sundays (or whatever day you want to make it)? But i think that would be a really nice thing to do and you will be helping the people that helped you get to where you are now :) just a random idea of mine lol

  • My goal is to hit 10 subs by feb. And ill have a special gameplay if i do rech it.

  • 9000 subs in 4 months, that's amazing enough Jerma, now your nearing a year? Thats just fantastic. Great to see that you get the subs you deserve.

  • Okay, so here's the number one "secret" to being successful at youtube if you want to do anything involving commentaries; you need to sound good. If your voice sounds like you haven't gone through puberty, odds are you won't get popular, sorry. On top of that, you're gonna need a relatively pleasant voice that people actually want to listen to. INVEST IN QUALITY AUDIO EQUIPMENT.

    I know this is harsh, but I see so many 12 year olds wondering why they can't get more subs, and it's the ugly truth.

  • @Lordofcookiejars Yup. There is a reason there aren't any popular 13 year old commentators.

  • @Jerma, your video content is really great and Im grateful I actually found your channel. I happened to stumble onto one of your vids and I ended up sleeping quite late that night because your videos are really great to watch and to top it off, your personality is very interesting and your quite humble as well

    Just want to say thanks alot for the great channel and vids and look forward to more of your videos (btw, could you please make longer videos in the future )

  • ha ! I am ur 14th sub ^^ believe it or not.

  • I don't think my problem has to do with motivation, my problem is caring about it in the first place. I'm talking about my schoolwork. I know it is important for my future, but I really hate school. I am always overloaded with schoolwork and I never get around to it until 2-3 days before it is due because I cannot focus on something I hate so much.

  • It's not called "soccer". It's "football".

  • Great advice! thx man! gonna try this!

  • 0:50 Jermas a jerk backstabbing me and what not XD

  • What is your current goal?

  • Jerma, if you would win the lottery, would you keep making videos?

  • Ur a real kind and motivated guy! Gud luck in the future:)

  • In addition to Jerma's advice, the best advice I have ever been given for achieving your goal, is to actually start.

    Too often a goal won't be accomplished purely because planning for the end goal more or less becomes the goal itself. You may have the best idea ever - but if you never really make an effort to start, you'll just be stuck with an idea that stagnates more and more over time.

    I hope this maybe helps somebody out too.

  • i just discovered you yesterday, subscribed an hour later, and im very glad i did. the quality of your videos is excellent :)

  • Great video, glad I've been a long time subscriber.

  • they dont listen to gameplay sound or use headphone? dead ringer is so loud,

  • What's your goal this month?

  • Nice video jerma, i personally really dont care about subs so i will never stop making video's.

    Its 2 much fun being in the community, meeting new people that most of the time i talk on skype more than i make video's XD

  • Are these in your intro blood cells lol?

  • jerma u are one of my idols u made me download tf2 and a A- in math after this video ur a amazing and expect amazing out of u and youtube and even in society

  • Jerma,lolquestion,my english teacher said that in "psychology" you do not pronounce the p.That true?

  • Love your videos dude, quality commentaries continuously, subbed back in July, I'm really happy that you've grown so much in the past year.

  • My Goal is to reach 250 subscribers by june, i hope i do :D

  • I was one of your first 100 subscribers, back when you had to play in dx 8 because of the poor optimization. Sorry I dont comment all the time but I watch every video :D

  • Jerms, your speaking voice and articulation are stunning. You could very well be the next Morgan Freeman for all those Discovery Documentaries. This was a great video. I am impressed by your young wisdom. Love to my favorite (tied) subscriber! <3

  • Good stuff man! Really some good principles here.

  • 4:57 "Your flute playing."

    Wow Jerma, you're psychic.

  • This is fantastic. I admire you SO much that you will actually respond to people commenting.

  • @TheQ57682 I try to get to at least a handful every video, and thank you!

  • jerma i've been doing this for almost a year i play tf2 and a little minecraft and i have 3 subscribers??!!

  • Does anybody forgot to hit LIKE button? DO IT NOW!

  • i have 5 and im ok with that

  • I did the same thing for juggling. First month, did 2 balls, second month, 3 balls. Now, 8 months later I can juggle two balls with one hand, three with both, and my record is 590 catches. :D

  • Jerma, can you do a Big Earner video like this?

  • It's kind funny in a sad way, my municipal spends $370 a month to send me to listen to people say basically this. Though they don't tear it up at well any game really so its much less interesting.

  • I can really relate to this. On Xmas a few years ago, I got a unicycle. Of course I sucked at it the first time, but when I finally got to stay on, the first time I went for 6m without holding onto anything, I decided to work on it more than ever. Then I got into the streets, I would say to myself that I would reach the red car. Once I got there, still going on, I decided to get to the other one, then the next one etc... Now, I can ride all day long if I wanted to.

  • I AM PROUD TO SAY: I HAVE 4 SUBSCRIBERS!

  • @1BeastlyButterfly1 AWESOME!

  • Why do you use the konniver kunai the most when the default is way better, and spy cicle

  • @JSasRays The Kunai is extremely effective against pyros if you can get those trickstabs on them, much better than spycicle.

  • Great video. Definately food for thought.

  • your a role model yu just seeem to care about everyone(: im 13! and im saying this :D

  • I would like to know how can i make clip without replay like you? :)

  • Wow dude, don't know why i'm subscribed, but glad I am. Great commentator, seems like a awesome guy.

  • dam they are terrible.. y cant i verse retards like this -.-. also jsut a question at anyone, once u record with fraps, can u automatically upload it to utube or do u have to do some rendering shit? thnx <3

  • @KantusThiss

    You need to render it out first because the video will have a huge file size (especially gameplays) which take up tons of space on your hard drive and I don't think you'd want to upload a 10gb+ file to YouTube.

  • @Puhpit ah yeah each of my vids are like 1 minute and take up 3 gib :/ thnx man. another question though, what do i use to render it? AE or sony vegas or some other application.. thnx

  • @KantusThiss

    Well personally I'd suggest Sony Vegas because it's also a great video editor too with lots of rendering options and such. Also, I think Windows Movie Makers can do simple renders and I'm not too sure about AE though because I haven't gotten around to using that program unfortunately. :/ And no problem. :D

  • Ive been trying to make pancakes and I couldn't do this and I hope by this time in one month I will have them :)

  • Not only are you a great commentator, you are a wise man.

  • @FasteningFrame7 Dude... Ur pointing ur camera at ur screen and u have like 7 vids in a month? Why do u expect a following with shitty quality and inconsistency like that?

  • Hey Jerma, Some random questio due to boredomness, but what is your favorite loudout for each class?

  • I only have 1 sub and it been 1 month :(

  • I've been working on writing a concept rock album. I've been getting really discouraged when a song falls apart or a band member chooses drinking over what our goal is. I recently decided to attack this endeavor by myself (I prefer a clean and sober working environment). This inspired me to keep going, because as of yesterday I was considering quitting. I've also been falling behind on making youtube videos consistently.

    Thanks so much Jerma, this vid and your tips help me keep going :)

  • jerma,i gotta ask.how do you film your screen in HD and good fps?

  • @PokemoNfan1801 You need a screen recorder like Fraps, and a decent computer.

  • When is your goal for 15k subs?

  • Thanks for the video man. Gave me some ideas of goals that i could use, as before i was running out of steam. Thanks again for the video, looking forward to some more :D

  • You know, that's something I've been struggling with, as I've enetered into education for the first time in four years, took it slow and realistic, one A level. My goal was to be a writer, use psychology to make good characters. But then I started photography and philsophy and I enjoy them both, but now I don't know where I'm going because three options exist infront of me and do I combine them all or specialise? I'm not entirely sure.

  • Just on the topic of youtubing. I feel that if I actually started trying to get subscribers (so far I've just uploaded stuff now and then, mostly for my own sake) just setting a subscriber goal would feel too arbitrary. There's no change and I'd probably get bored. It wouldn't really feel like the quality mattered more than the quantity if you just tell yourself "this month I want 100 subs, next I want 100 more!". Any thoughts on this?

  • @Shilag It's not so much the fact that you want them, but the fact that you are setting a goal that is obtainable. Once you give yourself a reason to push, you will do way more than you thought.

  • @Jerma985 This would be great for me if I could just A: get my head out of the gutter, and B: Be more self-confident, or more outgoing and ambitious... :(

  • Great commentary! Inspiring!

  • Ehrm... Listen Jerma. I am 11 Years old and i am doing Minecraft Commentaries... And i need a good voice recording program and Video Recording Program. Do you know any?

  • @TwillightDoom my advice for you is just not to do them. people on the internet do not like little kids

  • @anangrysquirrel thats what i have been thinking. When i grow a bit older i am going to start, and when i get a pc that have got more than 200 gb memory and 4 gb ram ._. i am gonna stay with maybe some Super Mario World or something...

  • @TwillightDoom My advice is look through youtube and check out videos that talk about info, 1. get FRAPS its a good program to keep your FPS to a higher state 2. Get a editng software program theres a good couple around and dont listen to people like anangrysquirrel, they are just stupid

  • @InfinityMW2 Thank you so much. I have got Fraps, and Camtasia so thx dude :D i am going to do a walkthrough of SMW Now XD Without commentary, and i will start being an Nintendo LP/Guide dude :D

  • When he said *Oh Jerma I have been doing this for a few months and have a few hundred subscriber's ( I have been doing this for like a year and have on 24 ) I was like F that I just wish I knew what to do to get people to so my videos and like them and stuff. Jerma is would make my life if you responded :(

  • @xXFlipHDXx Its tough to say what is going to work, and what won't. Using various gaming forums, networking with other channels, and making the best content you can should help in the long run.

  • @Jerma985 My life is now complete :D

  • @xXFlipHDXx I was going to go to your channel and sub but i cant find your subscribe button. I dont know if im just Hallucinating or what, but mayby if you change that more people will sub. I like your RFG videos BTW and will sub when your fix that.

  • @joshuaANDlauren Really wow thanks umm try again some other time it is a shame youtube had to update!

  • yeah jerma i did that goal thing myself.  it really helps haha.

    but seeing where you're at now also motivates me ;p. nice vid!

  • hey man I've been on this youtube acount for a long time now, I have over a 100 videos but very few subs should I keep this channel for what I'm like using it for now and open another new name and all of that and try to put stuff on there of like my gmod videos where on this acount I keep doing real life videos?

  • i think your sniper and spy gameplays are the most interresting ones.

  • Hey dude! I just subbed to you awesome channel! Your banner at the top of this video, what is the font called? Thanks.

  • Jerma answered a PM by me asking a similar question.

    Your awesome, thanks :)

  • keep doing commentaries about real stuff plz :D

  • Related to Jerma's reply to @joshxtreme99 if anyone who has a low sub count want to follows his advice and team up I'd love to do something with you.

  • Can you commentate my life?

    You taught Morgan Freeman how to talk like a boss didnt you?

    :P

  • What Jerma says is absolutely right, take it from me. I went for several months not doing anything, really just complaining that I didn't have enough subs to do anything, and using that as my excuse for not uploading. But once I actually sat down and made some videos with a realistic goal, (which was December by the way) I got my 100th sub and met my goal for the month. You really should listen to Jerma; you won't regret it. :D

  • i noticed you have an excellent like/dislike ratio. keep it up man

  • My goal for the next five seconds is to finish this sentence. :D

  • Loving that good ole fashioned east coast accent dude. Makes it so awesome to listen to your commentators

  • wait jermas a designer?

  • i am proud to call myself on of the 60 subscribers

  • @MegaRandomNickname Feelsgoodman.jpeg

    Also, im closing in to a houndred! Pretty sweet, huh? Stick with making your videos,

    and you'll hit 100 too! Btw, iliek your videos!

  • hello everyone. u shud check out my channel. all i want is 10 subs by febuary

  • My goal is to have fun. And I've already reached that goal.

  • Jerma can you cut me your voice from TF2 - Soldier: Breast Cancer Awareness 1:17?

  • yey! spy<3 gameplay :D :D :D

  • That is actually a very good tip. Thanks!

    This links very well with college to-do's. I tend to throw all of my tasks at one big pile and say: "Alright, I'm going to make this report in 30 minutes, after that my paper, that will take .... 15 minutes, at most, I can finish that 10 chapter paper easily." I set unrealistic goals. Thanks for making me realize that.

  • Gonna be honest with you bro I read the title and thought this was going to be kinda lame but I clicked it anyways and what you said really applied to me :D. Good talk man and encouraging words especially as I feel like I am in that negative state of mind that you described trying to scramble to figure out what to do. I appreciate it.

  • A thing for those who are going to collage, don't go for something the other tells you to do or what will make more profit don't even go for things you want to do, go for the thing you love to do.

  • jerma my pc has quite alot of open space it has a good graphic card and all that stuff do you know y it takes over 24 hours to uplaud plz reply if you know how to fix this

  • @halominecraftawsome Its about your Internet connection, not your computer itself. It's likely your internet connection has a low upload cap speed, which means that short of changing internet plans, there is no way to fix it.

  • I love Dr Jerma. It's always nice when you tell a story. I have other way to do with the stuff. I just do what i have to (or in some situations) What I want. Don't expect anything to happen. And almost everything works for me.

  • I am waiting for the day BOO, you, Pwn, Brett plays together

  • Hey Jerm, I really want to get a chance to play with you. Would you care to add my steam? (bloatfly)

  • @AviarPlus no problem i like constructive criticism.I'm uploading 2 pre-recorded and will sound more motivated in the next vids.

  • my youtube channel is a music channel and since youtube started crying about copyright i cant upload anything anymore i started my channel when i was 16 so 4 years and what i dont get is i had a video uloaded for a year or longer and it got removed and i got a copyright strike up my ass and now i see the same song on youtube evrywhere >_> i just dont get how that works

  • Leptir1 got lucky his 1st minecraft series was in related vids on one of seananners minecraft

  • :)

  • The reason u have so many subs is because u were featured by Leptir and Shibby. Don't expect everyone to get that.

  • thanks jerma you're aswome

  • I have a goal, it's 100 subscribers :D

    And i need 6 more! ^^

  • @ionizeTV and thats the reason i subbed to you ;)

  • @ionizeTV NO

  • @iPerfection68 What?

  • Thanks man tha really encouraged me :) any advice on how to promote your channel? I set up a chaneel recently doing gameplay commentaries.

  • @joshxtreme99 If you have any friends, or people you have met that do videos, and you guys have similar sub/view counts, try and work together. Two heads really are better than one sometimes. :)

  • @Jerma985 u could be my second head...

  • @Jerma985 If it is two guys playing together they would have 4 heads not 2(if you know what I mean ) bro

  • :)

  • Thanks Jerma, you're a real inspiration :)

  • Thank you for being an inspirational commentator on youtube jerma (: you're making the internet a better place for everyone!

  • I've been trying to get my website some popularity for bout 2 months now, still just average of 3 visitors per day :(
