 Hey, what's up everybody? So over the holidays we hit 100 subscribers on this channel We're at about 120 125 right now give or take but this video is to celebrate the milestone of 100 subscribers So in a few minutes, I'll share some things that I learned that helped me get to 100 subscribers May help you it certainly has helped me to get to this point And I think it will help me in the future to get to my next milestone of a thousand subscribers First though I want to share a little short film a microfilm that I created today to celebrate this milestone And I wanted to share this with you since the genre or the niche of my channel is You know DIY filmmaking learning how to do this type of thing on your own I thought this would be a great example. So here you go So I hope you guys enjoyed that little microfilm that little sequence there It was really fun to kind of put all those shots together and to kind of think through that and to kind of Make my own Play button for 100 subscribers since there's not really one of those Luckily, I found the guy online that had already created this I was able just to put my channel name in It print this out put it into a frame already had and you know, there you go So here's the details on how I think I got to this fairly quickly So I've had this channel for a little while I put a few videos on it But they weren't really serious They were kind of like you know some things that I had filmed to go along with some music that I had recorded Or some live performances of friends that were performing out locally that I just kind of pieced together some videos for them That was most of what my channel was up until you know Recently maybe you know September or so of 2019 at that point a couple of time-lapse videos that I had created Started to gain some traction and I thought well, you know, maybe people are interested in this And so I started creating a couple of more, you know August and September October and then I've got a little little consistent with it And then I started seeing the subscribers go up the views started going up and you know So between, you know October and December I put out several videos and the consistency of that You know really raised the the amount of people watching my my videos The video that I did about you know getting ideas for short films Using the the telephone over here, you know that gained quite a few subscribers So I thought this is a great thing people are interested in creating films on their own I'm certainly interested in it. So let's do this. Let's create some tutorials Let's show how to do these things all the way from, you know How to set your camera up and film these things to you know, writing the story to creating some of your own music To set the the atmosphere of your film These are all things that we'll cover on this channel as well as hopefully I'd love to get into, you know Making some props and things like that. So if these are the kinds of things that interest you make sure that you subscribe So that you don't miss any of the videos back to the main thing that I used I believe to help me in the past few months has been TubeBuddy I'm sure you've seen this a bajillion times all over the internet people talking all about TubeBuddy or VidIQ or one of these things, but I'm telling you if you use the tools like Keyword Explorer to research a topic and to find the right way to Phrase it based upon what people are searching for it can certainly help you You know, you want your title you want your first paragraph your first, you know Few lines of your description as well as you know the tag section they say that these days that the tags don't matter that much I what I think matters is that they match what's in your description and what's in your title So, you know, I have a lot of results from search But it's a large percentage of my views This is all because of the way that I write the descriptions and the tags that I have and the topics that I am Directing these videos towards so the other big thing is just you know consistency right now I'm trying to put out as many videos as I can I'm trying to streamline my process so that that's very quick for me to be able to do this type of thing I'm at about 60 61 videos right now I plan to hit a hundred videos pretty soon like in the next month or two or so and then Try to kind of figure out where I can level out and get on to this schedule to make these videos that I want to make teaching people how to do these things as well as creating my own projects and sharing them with the world as well So thanks for watching this and if you've already subscribed, thank you so much And if you haven't subscribed, please consider it and if you like this video give it a like if you love this video Please share it with someone else and we'll see you next time
