 So every time you try to make collaborations work, something happens, and it goes wrong. Well, I have some tips for you. So guys, my tripod was recently stolen, hence the reason that this looks very different to what a normal video might look like, just because I'm balancing everything on my desk with boxes and anyway, I just hope my camera doesn't fall. So like I said in the intro, there's sometimes a lot of problems that arise when you're trying to set up collaborations on YouTube. These might be that you feel you're stretching yourself out too thin, you're collaborating with so many people that you don't actually form any bonds or relationships with them, and your audience doesn't seem to latch on to anyone because it's a new face every time, and they have to get used to each of them. Sometimes it may be just that there's a ton of work involved with those collaborations, you know, for each video you have to interact with a person who's halfway across the world, and you have to do time zone stuff, and then they're busy, and then your friend who also wants to record as well, and it gets crazy. So the tip that I have today is actually to create a small group of close friends. I kind of covered it in this video a while ago, but I'm going to rehash it and I'm going to update what I said back then because I'm just going to make it much more succinct. It's much better for your audience if they know who it is you're collaborating with. It's also much better for you if you can set up, you know, schedules, if you know the person who you're recording with. So for that reason, I think that it's a lot better to stick with a small group, or it doesn't even have to be a small group, just a close group of people who you are comfortable recording with rather than trying to collaborate with every single person in the world. Now this video was inspired by a post I actually saw on the Freedom Forums, sadly I couldn't find it, I think it was deleted recently, but the premise was that everyone in the thread should comment and visit each other's videos to kind of form this collaborative, you know, kind of cross promotion. And while I think that that has good roots and I think that it is a good idea to an extent, I think it's better if you do it across fewer people. I think if you have, you know, a group of four friends who you comment on each other's videos regularly, you share each other's videos, it'll be a lot more effective because you're marketing to the same audience. They're going to get kind of used to seeing those same faces one day they might go. Click subscribe after watching their videos so many times. It's much more effective than trying to share everyone's video in the world and get everyone to share your video. First of all, because you're not going to be able to do that. And second, because your audience is going to go what? Anyway, so I hope this video helps you out. Hopefully you can gather together some few close friends and record together and have fun and comment on each other's videos. And let me know how that goes for you. I'd love to see your responses, whether it's tomorrow or in two months time. Let me know how it goes in the comments up there. Anyway, guys, thanks so much for watching.
