 Hi there, welcome to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Roestel here, and I want to do a quick video on the subject of reviews and do I do reviews of products now I'm doing this really because I have been receiving or have received in the last few weeks a number of contacts from vendors companies and their PR representatives and asking me to check out their platform or Something of that nature and I think that's probably because even though this is a really small YouTube channel I have talked about some pretty obscure niche topics such as Linux backups and things of that nature that I guess there aren't a ton of people Active in reviewing and screencasting So given that I do plan on putting a lot of effort into this YouTube channel over the next few months Perhaps longer than that. I thought I'd put together just a couple of quick guidelines for PR professionals and brands and Just giving you guys some tips or some well some info on what it might be interested in and what it would not be interested in So number one is to say this is an unmonetized YouTube channel currently when I'm making this video I would be happy to share subscriber counts to those who need it currently to private very small time of recording this but I don't want to Even say the number because then I'm going to date this video by the upload date So I'd be happy to share that with you and if it's if I decide to show it you'll be able to see the subscriber count Now in terms of what I'm interested in so because I'm creating this as a hobby project I kind of disregarded the classical advice of YouTube to niche down and so there's videos here about local eateries in Jerusalem and Linux backups and fail over internet But the thing that I'm really interested in and most Approaches from vendors so far have been about is technology. So in terms of what tech I have received a couple of not so great approaches over the last few years both for writing reviews and for video reviews And those are kind of people that I just don't think have spent two minutes looking through The videos here or anything I've written Just tech that I am not interested in so let me just explain what it is I am interested in and it's a few different areas. So number one backups as specifically anything related to backups for Linux Has been a long-standing area of interest for me Linux in Ubuntu is something I'm very interested in Professionally, I'm a marketer or more marketing communications consultancy is what I'm currently doing So more tech is actually something that I am interested in more tech and sales tech So there's been some videos here about CRMs and marketing automation and that's actually stuff I am interested in believe it or not. So if you just a few different tech areas sort of put together there and I've written about Telecoms is quite interesting and fail over and VOIP solutions So there are a few Verticals that I am interested in and just things that I'm not I don't use iPhone. I don't use iOS I've never used them. I've no intention of using them So something like an iPhone app would not be an iPhone app for Creating, you know, altered screenshots like would not be interesting to me What one other thing and you could say this is almost like a gripe as much as a sort of guidance request. I have received some Very generic every Trump PR people that just weren't prepared to put it like they were like We need would you like to review this and then just left it at that. So if you are going to approach me I may be busy and not have time to respond or it may not be interesting and therefore I won't respond But the two reasons that might happen or one It's not relevant to the kind of tech I'm interested in be I've had cases where they just haven't put in any effort. There's been no sort of like serious attempt So if it's something like a SaaS platform or your startup or whatever just at a minimum, please If I'm interested just like, you know offered to set up an account on the back end Because again, if it's if assuming I'm on monetize for a while, I don't have a ton of time So it's just appreciated if there is some effort. I think it's definitely a two-way dance between people Spending using their spare time to record videos and vendors reaching out to people who are Interested in doing that. So that's what I would say. So those are my sort of if you'd like review guidelines now in terms of how to Contact info and all of that good stuff. So let me just quickly bring across my screen over here and I would direct people to the about tab of this YouTube channel so there is a I do have like most youtubers a email it listed there and you can see what it currently is YouTube inquiries at Daniel Rose Hill But please check that page because I just changed that address and there's a chance I'll be changing it again in the future Final thing to say is that I have just set up a PO box for my business. I used to have one Forgot to update it. So if it's something like a physical product, I have received hardware before From vendors. So definitely something I would consider doing again So that is the I'll either put this put that at PO box in the description here or if not Send me an email and I will send you back the PO box address there Hope those guidelines were helpful and thank you for your interest in the YouTube channel
