 And we should be live should take about 45 ish seconds for us to Okay, what I need people to do here is ask the chat as soon as they can't start hearing us if if you guys are too low and Then you guys can tell me because my chat's gonna be obscured by the windows that need to be opened To make sure that this is running properly And also can someone just make sure that the first stream has been taken down Okay, I see it on My end Awesome, so you guys in the chat Chris. Yeah, so hey guys in the chat. Sorry for those technical difficulties What I need is people who are in the call right with me right now. Can you guys just speak just talked normally? So this is normal about stuff cool So people in the chat let us know if you know, they're too low. They're too high. I'll adjust the audio accordingly and Yeah, sorry about all the technical difficulties apparently when Anthony was streaming he Broke stuff. We're chill. We're still trying to figure out what was going on Look at it happens live streaming is an easy folks as much as it does seem easy as soon as You're in the hot seat things things will go wrong so Yeah, unfortunately Alex he he couldn't be here to Set this all up for us, but hopefully hopefully it's it's working better on my end So if ever there are any more technical difficulties just bear with us and Note if this video is public and you're not watching this live If at any point there are technical difficulties I'll put up some annotations after the fact to just kind of you know make you help you guys jump to the parts that aren't broken So I guess I don't know what what people in the chat are saying are people talking about audio No, I see I love redheads. Oh, okay That really helps me out Coolio, so I think we're good Okay, so people are saying it's okay Coolio, okay, I kind of can't see the chat if I do move some windows around Like your fans want you they love you. I See that I just respond People are asking where Anthony is right now. We he's dead No The internet actually came out and said you son of a Swallowed up and eat him. He's he's probably just he's probably just taken like ten minutes just to Taking a quick breather exactly I mean like I like I said when you're in the hot seat and everything is going wrong and again Like I think we were live for about half an hour So it's like half an hour of chaos and that's that's really stressful I have been in that position before and it's it's not It's not a fun. Oh, yeah, the first time we tried using twitch I didn't even have my friends audio. So I was just sitting there talking to no one and then the games audio didn't come on and they were just crap Trainwreck. Oh, yeah, so that's that's always fun Here I'm gonna try to add myself in possible There's a source using that device using my webcam apparently already exists. Oh, there I am So it's not it's not gonna be as nice as Alex Adams is stream, but you know We'll do what we can I have in my own special little spot here So you guys can see me So how you guys doing? I think I mean, I don't really think we need to do a roll call I think pretty much everyone Recognizes all these folks with the exception of maybe me saw on potato. I'm the guy behind the curtain editing all of these episodes Nice to see you guys Hopefully this I don't know some of you guys might have seen me before if you get watched my live stream yesterday I showed my face We're gonna be doing some giveaways today So not only are we gonna be responding to your questions once again, but if you guys have any questions for us Be sure to ask them either in the chat room or you can send us out some questions On our Twitter at impulse this you can ask some questions and from time to time We'll check those out, but you can ask us questions at any point in time and we should have someone checking the social medias To to basically make sure that your questions are answered at any and all times Um So Shall we start with a few questions? I don't know if you guys can see any questions in The chat if you guys ask ask your questions now about anything any and all things Do we have any updates on sponsors Aaron The only one is yay echo Oh is it a little bit um yay test no good good the only one is control freaks Which I tweeted that out a little bit nonchalantly about like earlier this afternoon earlier this morning And we got like 92 retweets. It was crazy. Yeah control freaks is Now working with freedom This is why we're doing control for giveaway along with again jeep fuel and give them snacks if you guys don't know what control freaks are which I guess the only you would not know is if you're a PC gamer or not a gamer at all is their little Precision control sticks They help you aim better mostly in FPS games So They are awesome, and they're super cheap. It's like ten to fifteen dollars prepared ease You also can use them for sports too. They make a special kind for sports games And driving games. Yes. Oh, yeah, I'm for driving too. They're really beast and driving So but um, yeah, but that's it for that I guess another announcement for sponsorships is that we or I got two contacts back for microphones So that would definitely be a sponsorship that all types of youtubers can get Who can benefit off of I'm trying to think if I should say who it is one of them is more interested like we're getting more on paste in the other one So either way both microphones are great. So, yeah new microphones coming soon on impulse into freedom That's exciting cool. Yeah, sounds good How about Maybe a recap of what we were saying for the changes to the show on Monday and for those who weren't here on Monday Yeah, sure. Definitely. Um, so those guys that missed Monday's live stream we're doing a lot of changes on impulse and Most of the changes is due to the fact of your guys's audience retention YouTube has her own in the lakes to figure out all the stats based on Your guys the viewership and everything and so we noticed that as soon as the hundred thousand dollar sponsorship was kicked in when he Went back to Tiffany and she's like and no particular order, blah, blah, blah Yeah I The audience retention dropped like I don't mean gradual. I'm talking like every 20 to 30 seconds I'm we're dropping 10 to 15 percent and it was just bad No, but the good news is is that Tiffany is gonna have her own show her show is going to be on Wednesday It's gonna be a cosplay show which we're still trying to figure out the title there. We might go cosplay hour I Think I got The name of your show Do you want to reveal an hour now? cosplayer in disguise That well that might be my new channel. I don't know. We'll see. Yeah. No, I like it. I like it. I do like it That's cool. That is really cool. So yeah guys on Wednesday, Tiffany's gonna have her own show about cosplay everything And everything you guys need to know about cosplay And then 100,000 sponsorship and we're not getting rid of it completely We're just moving it to Sunday night around 8 a 30 on the live stream just like this We're gonna have monster like the mega jackpot. So before we had just jackpot Sunday now We're gonna have the mega jackpot For right now, it's going to be two winners $500 total in prizes I'm still trying to brainstorm a little bit more and see if I can get that any higher But for now, it's gonna be two $500 winner mega jackpots. So Yeah, and Is there anything else going on? Oh Yeah, I guess you could say Rick one but then again who is Rick? No one's really seen what Rick looks like But Rick is now going to be Yeah, yeah, I mean anybody else that is a fan of Tiffany, you know hashtag team Tiffany. What is it called hashtag TT? But um, you know rick's going to be doing the intro and the outro now on the shows So, yeah, it's going to be interesting. So yeah, we're working on that all throughout this week and uh Hopefully, you know Monday if everything goes perfectly smoothly, which it should be. I mean, we're on top of things. Yeah Yeah, yeah, it's moving. I mean today. It's moving. Yeah, like we're definitely push the execution execution button and it's moving So, so yeah, that's good. So they are those are the changes and I'm just reading Zach's comments in the chat Okay, guys, um, should we just do a giveaway right away. Yeah, let's do it cool So to the giveaway time, uh, so now we have we have three Giveaways well not the giveaways, but we have three products that we're giving away today Aaron, can you just confirm whether like each winner gets one of each how what are winners getting?

So, uh, basically we're gonna start off Um on youtube So as you can see with the new giveaway page you have all the rules Uh, essentially we're gonna be going back and forth between twitter and youtube If uh, the the giveaway is taking place on youtube you write hashtag who is george Which you guys um are doing right now you guys are getting into the routine Of things, um, we're gonna be randomly choosing one person from the chat to win a tub of defuel some beef jerky and the control freaks Is that what they're officially called those little nubs control freaks plural Yeah, they're controlled. They're control freaks. Yeah control freaks Uh, so guys Comment away and in a minute. I mean like yeah, sorry hearing go and then you're fine I mean like to be even more specific. They can be called cqc's They can be called Like there's all different types of names for them, but in the most part they're called control freaks, right cuz Yes, yeah Okay, alpha cqc or classics are the different types of control freaks that that are out there Cool. Uh, so can we have someone to choose a winner at random? Are we doing are we doing in youtube chat? Yeah in the youtube chat. Okay Uh, bam. No, we already used him last time. I didn't look familiar Uh Bam Boydster Boydster B. O. I. D. S. E. R Cool. So Boydster, you have one basically how you claim your your your plies your prize is super simple All you need to do is contact the support team. So you submit a ticket at freedom.support.tm submit your contact information and And your your choices for flavors for g fuel and beef jerky and I guess what what color Control freaks you want. How does that just pick a control freak out there? The most that you can spend is $15. So whatever man, if you want the $15 one go for it. Nice So submit that information and uh guys if you did not win don't cheat because we take down names And the support team knows who won and who uh, who hasn't won I'm just saying that because when I did my my gfx livestream a bunch of people are contacting me like Like hey, can you do me some graphics? So I'm like No, because I I took down names folks But anyways Boydster just found out that he wanted he goes. Oh my god Oh my god, um So ging all over the place home g Uh, so once again guys be sure to ask your questions I mean this is this is your opportunity to uh to ask us about you know, how how we produce the show Um, you know, how segments are are produced from a to z If you want to ask us some questions, I don't know about about movies tv games Anything that's on your mind, but be appropriate though folks Um, just just ask away in the chat and we'll do our best to respond Is that is anthony back with us? Kind of Guys, I want everyone to write Like give give anthony some hugs in the chat Say hashtag heart anthony. Yeah hashtag heart anthony And today Um, okay. So oh virus writes, um, if we were not to upload to our channels for a while Would we lose our partnership? I guess that's kind of uh, no, no, that's you're you're you're safe, buddy Yeah, you're totally fine. I mean technically you'd be losing on the exposure you gain by keep uploading but Uh, I think I believe it was shish kebab was asking how many green screens are involved Um, so many green screens. Well, I mean for for three people that is, uh, mike britney and tiffany It's one green screen Uh, because they all shoot in the same location and then zack has his green screen Uh, erin has his green screen anthony has his green screen So what like y'all are except for green screens. So yeah, so basically like Tiffany did the counting. I'm just gonna go with her says four. So the answer is four Yes, whether or not it's actually four the answer is four So, um, yeah lots of green screens, which makes it really interesting because Oh, did we count alice adams in there? I don't think we did so five. No, it's a five Uh, but the answer is four And um, so yeah because every every single person has a different setup Uh, because I mean with green screening, it's not just the actual screen itself It's also the lighting that that affects how the the final video looks and so it's all it's always interesting Um going from person to person obviously sometimes you guys can notice You know transitioning from one person to another the qualities don't really sync up But I I do my best we do our best So, um, I got chaos, uh, one of our actual winners from uh impulse asks, uh, is it hard to memorize scripts? Wow, let's take there's a reason why there's bloopers Yeah Very true if you guys haven't watched the bloopers at the end of every single episode during the end card I try to slip some in so Um, yeah, if you guys want to talk about I don't know how okay, so the final episodes are like five ish minutes long How much time do you think it takes to produce like those few minutes that you guys are on screen in terms of footage How how how long are you guys in front of the camera? I would say at least an hour or well, maybe 45 minutes Hmm. Yeah, it's about the same for me. It's about 30 to 45 minutes And then you know, there's a small bit of editing before I send it to you So that's another 20 minutes and then all of the awesome work that you do Oh Yeah, I I know I know that when I was um shooting for the show I did on frame before display like it was it was at least 45 minutes because Without a script. I just ramble on and on and on like for for live streaming. That's awesome because you know You can't stop talking, but when you're when you're shooting it's um It's not a good thing. So yeah, it's it's a very long process also taking into consideration that that does not count research time or development time like, you know, um You know zack he spends a lot of time actually researching these games and also coordinating times to film with grandma And uh, you know like myself I have to actually send out letters to companies and and get products or Sometimes when that's not available sometimes I have to you know, beg borrow and steal from my friends and be like I need to try that Yeah So, uh save point has a question here in the chat and he says do game plays with cam make so so much difference My opinion is that if you're doing tutorial videos, uh of a game and how to beat a level or find a secret We don't really need a webcam to see you because no one really cares what you look like They want to see what's going on in the game But if you're doing commentary on a game or you're reviewing a game Then that's when a webcam comes in handy Yeah, I think I think zack hit the nail on the head on that because the thing the thing is that when you're when you're growing a channel You also like your personality is really important because I mean people people they might be introduced to your content Uh or to your channel for your content But if they stick around more often than not if they subscribe it's because they like you So it's like through your content you want to like I don't know just kind of showcase your personality And if using a webcam kind of helps out with that then then go for it But like if you're doing like zack said like I don't know tip videos or I don't know like achievement videos or easter egg videos And it's not really necessary Most people like to see reactions. So you're doing like a scary game. Mm-hmm jump scares and Yeah, also if you're not ready for it, you can actually do yourself more harm than good All right, absolutely You know if you're just kind of sitting there like a dead fish you can end up, you know costing yourself viewers and watch time Mm-hmm. That's actually super important. Um Just kind of yeah, sorry zack. Yeah, I would start first without a cam and then just get your your footing in talking over something and giving dialogue and then move from there Yeah, it helps if you act with it instead of just sit there Like, you know, if your facial reactions and stuff is going to add to the video Then that's what that's for if you're just going to sit there and play the game. It's not really important Oh, yeah Mike, I honestly forgot you were in this chat To not even gonna lie Wow Okay, there's another question I see for chris somebody asked how long does it take for you to edit all the videos When I when the first week of impulse was extremely Painful in that I was actually editing Everything in after effects, which is just in retrospect was just so dumb um It really depends on what the topic is I would be lying if I said that some shows weren't easier to edit than others Like when it comes to sundae like I just I love sundaes because it's just it's it's so simple But I mean it could take anywhere from Seven to 14 hours to edit an episode It's all about the time management. So what I'll probably be doing for those who weren't here I think during our first live stream The process is basically they send me the clips Then I Uh, I key out the footage so I do the green screening. I put the the set behind them Then I export that Into sony vegas and then I just chop everything up and assemble it Um, but just doing the rendering out the green screen Um, that takes several hours So I'll usually like sleep during that time and then wake up at like, you know, maybe four in the morning And then edit edit edit edit until 10 o'clock export it put it on line do all the metadata with anthony and the guys and Yeah, it's a long process But it's worth it It's definitely worth it. Yeah So Somebody in the chat asked how they find tutorials, uh On after effects if you go to a website called the video co-pilot there's a guy there. I think it's named Anthony Kramer. He is amazing and he'll show you a lot of cool stuff. Andrew Kramer. Andrew Kramer. What did I say? Anthony? Yeah. Yeah. And then also PutsPlus and Linda.com are both really good ones if you want to pay for a subscription. It's like an e-school for very or like a very small percentage of the normal cost of school. I mean yeah you can I mean there are two ways to go about it. You can either go that route if you really don't know what you want to tackle. Those sites are amazing. If you do kind of have an idea what I do is let's say I want to cover an effect that isn't specifically explained in a tutorial. I'll just kind of try looking up on YouTube certain elements. So I don't know let's say I want to do like a freezing effect like someone's frozen. Well then I might you know look up on YouTube just like freezing effect and then I might find tutorials that kind of apply that aren't really specific to my needs but I'll still kind of learn one or two elements that I can apply and adapt them. So yeah all of those resources. So video copilot. What else? Linda.com. YouTube. Those are pretty much the the main ones. So people are asking how are we seeing each other. Well I mean I think some of us are watching the livestream also I mean we're in a Skype call right now so that's how we can see each other via webcam. Hey I don't leave with asking why I'm not saying anything. It's because I don't know anything about video editing. I'm lost on it. Don't know. I can't help it. Four because he's awesome. I don't know anything about it. Okay so guys how about you guys ask him some questions specifically to Tiffany like about either you know hosting or acting or cosplay. How you do your hair. How she does her hair. Are you still married to Brittany. Always. I'm actually someone asked earlier if Mike and I were a thing and I was actually going to clear it up. It's actually Brittany and I that are a thing so you guys can get that screen. They were saying Brittany's trying to chime it in. She's like what about me. I can hear her actually. Yeah real real quick. Corey Hubbard on Twitter asks what's a good editing software for free. Are we saying heck or no heck. Legitimately for free. For free. There's nothing for free. Windows movie. Windows movie maker. Go get other computers and give on getting free trials. There actually are open source things that you can get but they're just not there yet. Yeah artist X on Linux. I use that for a while. I don't know if you ever tried that because everything is free on Linux. And Tiffany's laughing. I don't know if it's because of what. Apparently Linux is really funny. I was reading some of the comments. Whoever was asking if I'm a drummer. I'm sorry. I thought you were talking about the Tina Fey question. Yes all that. Not one yet but someone that people have said I look like Tina Fey if that's what it was. Yeah. Can you do your best Sarah Palin impersonation. Good job just putting her on the spot like that. I know she's like blank. Sarah Palin I like to go shoot wild animal out of a helicopter. Here's how you just don't go wrong. You just go don't you know. And that's it. That's all you got to do. See I can't do it. I can't do that one. Not that one. People in this chat or else are talking once again. I know that this was brought up a few times like razor sponsorships. Yeah. I think. I mean yeah I do need to shave. Yeah. Gillette will come in freedom. Yeah mama. The real guys. I can I can say this. Razor is not an easy nut to crack. Though if you were to see any razor product reviews on impulse getting them a little bit extra love might help us convince them. The best way to get sponsors guys is for you to let them know that you want them as a sponsor because I mean as we keep saying how sponsorships work is it like they need to be mutually beneficial for both parties. And so I mean if a company knows that there is a demand for sponsorship then they're going to be more enticed to actually act upon that and contact us and set something up. So if you want razor I don't want to say spam razor but just let them know that you're interested. Can I just say that somebody said I look like the dad. Rick Morris. His name is Rick Morris. And I get that when I have to wear my glasses I get that on a daily basis. It got to the point where I wear my glasses because I would rather not see them look like Rick Moranis. Oh my gosh. Dude the fact that someone even made a honey eye shrunk the kids reference in the chat is crazy. Guys if you have your Ghostbusters three questions Rick Moranis is here. Oh sorry that's Zach. Now I can't see anything so I'm going to put these back on. And Rick is back. I don't want to say just Rick because it sounds like we're talking about the other Rick. That is not the Rick guys as I'm pointing the wrong direction. That is Rick Moranis. Where's everyone. Wasn't he also in Little Shuffle Horse. Yes. Another movie that most of our watchers have no idea. I'm sure. Yeah. That's classic. That's good times. Feed me. Little Shuffle Horse. Is that like a jump scare movie or something. I see this question last time and this time and people are asking do we all live in the Philippines. Oh God. Hell no. Oh wait a minute. No. The answer is no. Ask Mirko how he's doing today in health. Maybe that'll clear things up. Oh no I'd say I'd say most of us have like you know families that are not in the Philippines or I don't know. Some of us they're having stalls so I interrupt. The Darth Helmets is bigger than mine. But yeah some of us have like jobs here besides freedom or you know families and family's engagements in North America. So there we go. Yeah. Yeah. Mirko. And K. Baza gaming says some of my friends said that you need over 50,000 subs to get a G fuel sponsorship. Ew. If that's the case then shoot you should be signing up for freedom right now. It's five to 10,000 views per day. Which is kind of a prestigious club kind of not that much but it's kind of prestigious. And again just kind of highlighting the point guys the reason why you know some of these sponsorships require several thousand views is because it needs to be mutually beneficial. So the companies they're not just going to give away free stuff they're kind of expecting some sort of a return off of it. So that's why as like a commercial spot. Exactly. A lot of companies will look at other things that you've done so that's one of the secret reasons why we do what we do here is to give you that opportunity to make your first you know or first few videos going you know here's a product that you know I'm being sponsored by through freedom you know because you know you may not be able to get it without so you know a lot of you have your first opportunity to make that video and show companies what you can and can't do for them. I think someone was asking a more serious question I didn't get their name because the chats just kind of scrolling. Someone was saying that they're basically I guess demotivated to make videos because they aren't getting a lot of views. Are there any tips you guys can give to like motivate people I guess maybe either whether they have like writers blocked for videos or if they're just discouraged by their statistics. I think first off if you do YouTube initially for a job or four like to for the dream you're going to burn out so fast you're going to get disappointed left and right you're not going to create some viral video overnight. It's one in a bajillion it's like worse than hitting the lottery seriously. You got to use YouTube as a way to connect with people on something that you love doing. If it's video games fine then upload videos of a game that you love playing and you love talking about. If it's just about shopping the do a channel on shopping if it's technology or tech reviews or something just find something you absolutely love to do and then make a channel on that and make sure that you stay to that one series too because if you mix niches then your audience will be confused and it's just it's a train wreck. So if you keep doing videos that you love to do then you never will burn out and then the audience will come and they'll see your originality in the person that you truly are. So I think that's the biggest problem is is that people give up because they're trying to be like their inspiration their youtuber that they look up to and they realize they just can't get there and it takes a lot of time so they just burn out and stop. So if you're doing it for fun if you're doing something that you love to talk about and you love to upload then you'll do it for years and then maybe your audience will come. Also I would add to that that you know history doesn't remember how many times you've been knocked down just as long as you know you get up one more time than you've been knocked down. Good song Chamba Wamba. Yeah so hopefully people won't remember last live stream they'll remember this live stream. Yeah and now half the people are saying Chamba Wamba. And now half the chat room's gonna say who the frick is Chamba Wamba. We ready for another giveaway? Give away it's giveaway time. Give away time. Okay so I guess we're gonna do this one on on Twitter this time. Yeah let's do that. Cool so uh guys this is gonna be on Twitter this time that's that means if you write hashtag who is George that doesn't matter because we're not looking at YouTube we're looking at Twitter

can notice but at the very bottom of this live stream we have kind of like some ads if you will just kind of uh rotating um because we have basically three sponsors for the live show we've got g fuel we got game on snacks and control freaks uh or control freak rather um and at any of these websites so g fuel dot com game on sacks dot com and control freak dot com if you order something and at um uh in your cart you enter the coupon code freedom at checkout you'll get 10 off your orders so if you want these products right now not only can you get them right now but you can get them at a discount Chris were you a game show host in your past life no I just talk a lot I guess there's kind of like a venn diagram I think I think to be a game show host you need to have much experience just talking rambling come on down someone has asked what our favorite flavor of g fuel is uh probably about 50 times I've never tried it hello so someone hasn't said that's free samples yet so we don't know yeah honestly however how much erin talks about it's probably pretty good stuff it is some really nice stuff uh do you drink it that is the question have I drank it before you drink it i drink it stuff's awesome my favorite peach mango she also likes to eat it raw but that did not go well last time we have a video of it no that's just like there's a smoke there's a little powder sticks i'm okay with that uh how how is um how's watermelon erin oh watermelon's good too yeah um watermelon I would say no blue ice is definitely my second favorite um then watermelon watermelon is really good okay uh gamers hold asks what do I say if I want to collaborate with people guys there's an entire episode on impulse I've done roughly 73 episodes on collaboration so there's quite a bit too much just you know just go through them just go make sure that you go to the guy and say hey man I want to do collaboration hey man I want to call on access to your subs hey hey Jim bob my new collaboration really what do you want to do about I really don't care I just like any can Mike do Jim Bob no okay I don't know it's okay we guys we have all the celebrity power we need with Rick Moranis here we don't need Jim Bob come on that's right I feel horrible at this point uh Zach probably hates no I seriously get it all the time you're not saying anything I do not hear it every day so so if on monday's episode instead of Zach I put Rick Moranis at the bottom yeah that would be fine with me so Zach are your kids still missing uh yeah I shrunk them down put them somewhere actually last night right because that was like a bad thing yeah in the last movie all right we shrunk ourselves so I think we're still missing so really you're living you're still living in a lego yep this is all of your house he's in a dollhouse a dollhouse made of Legos okay so Mike question for you uh Superdash Jason I believe asks um AT 2020 or Blue Yeti I mean I'd have to say the 2020 but yeah the Yeti now what another 2020 yeah yeah uh I don't know I I've never personally used blue but I have friends who have it and they've done back-to-back tests with that in the 2020 and I've had a better experience overall with the 2020 and I don't know I was reading the comments of the last video actually about audio and a lot of people were it was about half and half on blue as a whole like whether they like it or don't like it really the only thing that I don't know about the 2020 is is can you change the settings on from like corduroy to broadcast to no corduroy you can't but um car car car car doid yeah can you put on corduroy's why you can't you can do that with with the AT 2020 you're not allowed to put on corduroy's they actually have like a stick that smacks you should at least use you put them on exactly it comes it comes with a human being the 2020 doesn't have that multifunction on it no it's specifically just a condenser mic but um so it's like I don't know I guess that's what you're buying it for and that's what you want you're gonna get all that performance just on that versus you know half and half if you're gonna do something do it well don't do that kind of okay and then everything else just me okay I don't know what I like about is I scream a lot and I don't ever max the mic and I'm like five inches from it and it's it's nice we use it for impulse we use it for Tiffany's recording we use it for mine for Brittany's and it works for a lot of different you know situations and it still sounds good so from my experience I love 2020 I also haven't owned the blue but uh someone was asking what do you think is the best way to open up a video with I guess a video intro or some sort of an audio intro um I think ideally if you absolutely want a video intro you should at least have like two to five or ten seconds of some sort of like video footage I guess to hook people in so if you're doing I guess some sort of like a gameplay video I'd pick like one of the funniest moments and just kind of slip that in at the beginning just as like a hook to keep people watching um I don't know what your guys's thoughts are I I would say that you know as far as intros go a lot of people overstress on them I think more important than that is properly greeting your audience a lot of people I see when I'm kind of trolling around the freedom family you know via that freedom family hashtag on Twitter is um people just start videos and they start talking and I have no idea who they are what they do you know it's not hi I'm Bob and today we're gonna be doing this it's just all right we're gonna go ahead and do that thing yeah I personally don't like intros on gaming videos now if it's like a funny clip at the beginning that hooks me where I want to see more then that is a different story um now like on vlogs or comedy sketches and stuff I think consistency with branding there it's cool because then you actually get a taste for the channel not just for the episode but one thing yeah yeah one thing that I do is if I'm looking for tutorials I'll find the shortest video possible I know it's like an intro is only like five to ten seconds but it's like an audience's attention span six seconds long it's why everyone watches Vine videos so it's like if you have six seconds in and the intro sucks it's like yeah it's something else thank you very much yeah and it's one thing too like when people download you know like a really epic template and just use it because it's really epic and then they use in the beginning like that says nothing about your channel it's just cool text with cool music and like although everyone does it I don't necessarily like that I like originality where it's you know defines your channel and shows that you're different from the rest if anything just have a crazy like voice intro like mine yeah I can't say that I've never done the template thing like when I first found out about it and figured I could do really cool intros like yes I got so excited yeah we all went down that road yeah yeah uh someone was asking how do they market their gaming video if they're covering a game that is very like obscure and unknown I don't know if you guys have any tips for that well I think the cool thing about obscure and unknown games is that it has a niche in a following around it so you won't have mass appeal for viewership on that game but you'll have a bunch of the same people watching the same videos so go find other people doing that if it's really obscure and they've uploaded something and you know leave a comment or something and try to connect with those people I don't I don't know if oh sorry yeah Mike you go for it no well I was gonna say I don't know if smirky is still in the chat would he bring this this one guy up because he's basically the prime example of this um he he used to cover he stopped covering this game now uh but he was he was covering a game called toon town which isn't you know like a triple a super well known title but it had a large enough audience around it that he basically had a monopoly in that he was one of the only people you know doing live streaming and covering this game and so everyone who played this game was flocking to his channel and we were joking about this at the top of the live stream but I mean whenever he did a live stream he would get like 11 to 15 000 views some of his live streams even more so it's all about finding those communities because they do exist online there's got to be some sort of a forum or I don't know just somewhere else online where people are covering that same obscure title find out where those people are just market the heck out of it and hopefully you know slowly build that following yeah what I like to do if there's a title that doesn't have a following is simply contact the developers and say hey I'm doing coverage on your game feel free to use it as you see fit and they could use it to promote their game because they don't have content on it so you actually have the developers promoting you to all their following the same thing works for bucket plugins if you're savvy enough with servers that you can install bucket plugins and configure them properly you know contacting developers who put out those plugins if you get on that bucket plugin page you know with the autoplay and all that that's great and it's a very niche market but that makes you the authority on that plugin yeah sorry people are asking more rick moranist questions okay uh someone person was asking about tips like how do you grow your channel when you start out which is a question that's like really popular because a lot of people I mean starting out a new channel is really intimidating and we could be here for hours and hours and hours just kind of talking about that one subject because it's not it's not like a black and white answer it's not a simple answer but um in a nutshell I guess everyone else can just kind of pitch in uh answers but you want to make sure at least you know at me as a graphic designer I always talk about branding you want to make sure your branding um is good you want to make sure that there's a direction to your channel so you should already have an idea on what kind of content you want to produce you should have an idea on who your target audience is and you should have a direction that you want to take your channel it shouldn't just be a channel where you upload you know one of one out of three videos is a music video and then you know your next video is a gameplay video and then your next video is like a short film you should have like a clear direction and once you know what you who your audience is you should know where to go to market your channel and I just say I don't know make sure that your audio and video quality is good just try your hardest to be consistent and upload on a regular basis don't burn yourself out but yeah I don't know if you guys I would say that there's a couple different strategies that I've tried over the years um and and all of them work but I would warn you to balance them properly tent pole programming is great which basically means find an event attack it and you know and make sure you've got your metadata that's your tags title and description all set up to be able to catch that search traffic um but also don't do that don't do that in a way that's going to be untrue to your subscribers um you know just because you know that Marvel's coming out with a new movie doesn't necessarily mean you need to derail your um your Zelda channel you know with Marvel content you know um stay true to your subscribers because the people who find that video that you're trying to promote and that you're trying to make a success um they will eventually become dead subscribers uh which nobody wants um and you know there are other strategies too of course uh like Chris said branding try to find something and stick with it and you know once you reach a certain size don't change it you know on a whim make that a decision you think about for a very long time before you change it an exercise that everyone should be conducting on a on a daily basis or at least a weekly basis you're just kind of reviewing your channel just going okay well what's the weakest aspect about my channel is it branding is it the fact that i'm not marketing is it my thumbnails and then just trying to tackle that and improve upon that just you know just do a small bit at a time don't try to you know tackle too much at once because it might be really overwhelming but um just kind of at least have like one project per week on how you can improve that your channel and uh slowly but surely i mean you'll you'll grow you just need to it's it's a lot of work it's running a youtube channel is like running a marathon um so hamster wheel or a hamster wheel that's actually more accurate yeah just never ends um and one other thing that i would put out there is never stop learning try to take on projects that you know you have no clue about take on a project knowing that you don't know how to do chroma key take on a project knowing you don't know how to you know do certain things challenge yourself and never this is kind of cliche but never give up um you know when your skill set skill set stops growing your usefulness to other people for collaborations and other things also stop growing uh lego ww2 reviews no you cannot trade the copy of vulgar the viking i gave you yesterday for g fuel come on man come on that's like someone buying you a christmas gift and then you like selling it afterwards that's not cool buddy is there a gift for seat with this vulgar the barbarian wait is it vulgar yeah that's
