 What's up guys take down here and today? I'm gonna be basically telling you how I record my videos and how I plan for them, so I Am a small youtuber as you guys can probably tell But I do things a different way the reason I'm sharing this is because maybe other youtubers don't know how and they Don't people trying to start out don't really know how to do and it's basically trial and error I mean the way I do things might work for you it but it might not so I mean if you're interested That's why I'm making this video So basically I'll start off by saying how I used to make it How I used to make my videos and playing my videos, which I never played my videos It was just all on the spot But whenever I started this channel Actually had a channel before and maybe a channel before that but whenever I started this channel It was strictly a gaming channel, so I would make videos where I played with my friends Just quick little let's plays of GTA call of duty like different games Not really the best and I just upload anything I could possibly get my hands on make Upload constantly even if it got zero views or a few views I would just still upload upload upload and promote promote promote whatever But that's how I used to do things whenever I wanted to make one for an event Most times would be last minute and it got to the point where it's like I can't make these last minute videos anymore because Number one, they're not good. They're crap. They're rushed. They're not planned out They're not fought out and they are crap But now what I do I Have a different schedule than I used to when I started the channel now I work Mom works the only time I record videos like this is when the house is clear so most of the time the house is clear whenever you know they go to pick mom up from work dad goes pick mom work and She'll leave around 6 30 at night or sorry He'll leave at 6 30 night and they come home at 7 30 because it takes half an hour there Half an hour home from where we live to where she works. So that leaves me with an hour a day Three to four times a week that I can possibly record videos Either that if they're going away for a couple hours or they're going away for a while I might take that time and you know put towards making videos to record it You know if I have like six hours I'll try to record as much content as I can I'll plan out be like I'm recording all this stuff because it's rare I get that chance and in my up in my personal opinion whenever you're making videos for your channel Optimize your schedule. You can't always record. So whenever you get time to record plan it out plan ahead if you know a Head, you know, I'm gonna have time to record this that day Because people are going away do that. That's what I do and I enjoy doing that and it helps out the second thing I've learned or taught myself to do is Don't do anything last minute anymore I used to do things last minute and then I used to do things I'd only record a week ahead and then I'd be like, oh, I'm done next week's video So I'm not recording anything down till next week and then I'll record the week after record for the week after But now I've completely flipped that 180 degrees, especially after the new year. I was like no I need to make my videos in advanced maybe reason for that is because over Christmas break I did take two weeks off from recording. That's because my parents were home So they weren't leaving the house. So I have no time to record But I'm glad I listened to myself and I planned ahead and it recorded a bunch of videos to do So I can upload over that two weeks and then have videos to upload the week after so the week after it's like no Content so I still had stuff for that. I had a pile of videos made But now I prepare for that to happen just in case it happens And it also makes me feel that over the summer or whenever I want to take a week off from the channel or For anything if I wanted to go away Let's say I plan a trip to you know, Toronto or Cuba or something place and I wanted to go On my own and I didn't want to do anything on the channel that time. I would make my videos up ahead of time Just so I have the opportunity to do that. So I might upload while I'm gone But I'm not going to get a chance to record because I'm away So I plan for that ahead of time now For the strike for example the story time video I plan that Months ahead of time like whatever whatever I started the series. It was January. I Started thinking and started planning and I actually planned up to September So I'm playing that far ahead of what I'm doing what week each episode named I thought out kind of made the thumbnail and I Know what it's gonna be about. So some of them are short some of them are long some of them are funny Some of them are sad. Some of them are just serious. Some of them are strange, but it's a great series So I plan ahead and that's kind of my key to success You don't want to do things last minute. It gets hard Not every not not all the time I can record either so that our day That depends on work if I have to work that night. I can't record that night because I might work That's how it was. I don't plan to keep my job too much longer though I'm trying to get into courses for videos and editing and different kinds of stuff So I'm doing that really soon because I'm just tired at that at that this point But I'll continue on with this video But if you want to know more about that and why I want to leave my job and what I'm getting into With college courses and stuff that I'm looking into Comment down below and if I see enough interest I might make a video I might make a video in the future Anyways on this topic, but if I know you guys really care and really want to see this I'll talk about in the future how I'm Going about things, but let's kind of keep on topic now so I I would hate it and I would miss events. I remember Fourth of July because I have a lot of American friends. I wanted to make a gaming Video and a WWE video a couple of other things All of that had to be uploaded a week after it It's not as it is because we missed the opportunity and we had to record after the holiday But I also couldn't upload because my ps4 system screwed up linking my YouTube and my ps4 So I had to wipe out my ps4 put everything back on the ps4. It took a long time to download all the games, but Anyways So my main main thing I do now with videos and planning them is I play on them ahead of time and Even to the point I even schedule when I'm uploading so if I know I know for example in January Then near the end of January. I knew exactly What major videos coming out each week for February? I want one each week one major video coming out each week one story time coming out I planned each week. I kind of wrote down okay this day this video that this video this video is coming out The next day this video this video is coming out because I had a lot of days off In February I had one week four days off straight next week four days off straight so I was like each day I wanted to upload and That's the other thing you have to have a schedule now. I don't necessarily mean You have to upload the same day every week Because I can't sometimes I have work sometimes I have stuff to do sometimes I can't but I try my best to Easiest thing for me because it slows my internet down is uploading overnight, but I Try to be as consistent as I can and try to schedule it If I say I'm going to do a weekly video or this series is going to be weekly It's going to be weekly or at least I try my best to be without you know A fall at four series is different South Park's difference. They're based on views They stopped getting the views or slowed down on the views So now I do it every week or every two weeks. Maybe every three weeks. I'll make upload a video just because I have More priorities for videos to record than those kind of videos, so I don't have time to be able to record one every week The other thing is you have to kind of pick and choose your series that the series you do The videos you record wisely, especially if you're on limited time like I am to record For example, I plan on doing the Batman telltale series because it was free in January Those videos were anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes long The first two episodes I uploaded first one got four views second one got six views, so Number one for how long those episodes are on my limited time It takes a long time and it would it take a long time to finish that series So I think it's not benefiting like I'm not getting much views from it So it's like I had to cut that series off really soon I've done that in the past with just cause three life is strange But I do plan to bring life is strange back though It's a fun video and it started getting views again on its own So it's like maybe it's time to bring it back low key not a weekly thing Maybe not every other week, but I will still have to start to bring that series back the other thing I would say is If you're gonna do Videos make videos you like for example if you're gonna play a gaming series and you're gonna have a gaming channel Play games you like play games that you enjoy because if your fans if the people watching the videos sees that you're having fun Sees that you're into the video Even if they don't enjoy the game if they enjoy what you were bringing to the table for the videos Chances are they're gonna stick around if they see you're miserable in your video They're not gonna like your video and they're not gonna watch it ever again So that's that's the other key that I've learned Is only do videos that you enjoy doing Only for my gaming part only play video games and Make videos on that on games you enjoy doing you don't enjoy it your fans aren't gonna enjoy it But that's kind of how I play my videos now I hate doing things last minute and I almost refuse to I Try to do my things and know exactly what I'm uploading the next week Even to the point I try to learn look ahead and see okay I Get to record this day this day this day even though if something happens I can adjust it but I know okay this day and this this this day I want this and this recorded this day. I want this and this recorded this day. I want this this recorded Something happens where one day I can't record like one week. I knew I had four days to record It got dropped down to one day to record and it was like shit That sucks, but I mean I plan for it just in case it happens So you gotta you gotta plan for things to happen and things to not go your way, but These are just kind of the ways that I do things for my channel for my videos. They might work for you They might not But just to recap I play my videos head. I don't do things last minute I kind of know what I'm uploading when I'm uploading I kind of know what what days I'm uploading or what days of recording What I kind of know The stuff like that and enjoy what you're doing, so this is a small youtubers perspective I know they might be some hate on this video because it's like yo, you're a small youtuber It's not like I see some small youtubers making videos like how to be successful on YouTube or What to do and what not to do and you have less than a hundred subscribers? I do too, but like once have less than a hundred subs Shouldn't be making videos like that because it's not working for them. They aren't doing what they're saying to do in their videos They're not succeeding so it's like Bigger youtubers or youtubers with thousands of subscribers. They're the ones that can do those type of videos, but This isn't one of those type of videos. This is just saying how I do things and It might work for you. It might not. I'm not saying or guaranteeing it will work for you I'm just saying this is how I do things because it works for me On my sketch on my tight schedule I hope to free that up in the future, but like I said in the middle or somewhere in the middle of this video I do plan on going to the school to do editing design business marketing social media marketing and a few other things t-shirt designs and such music some music All online courses, so if you guys are interested in that, please leave a thumbs up on this video I will explain more in a future video I'll probably do it anyways, but comment down below if you're interested in it And I might make one sooner than sooner than later, but I will leave this video here. Take care. Hope you guys did enjoy peace
