 Hey you! No. Not you. You there! In the back, with the sexy neck brace, comment below and tell Mike what you want to see next week. It'll only take a second of your time and it's a great way to stay in shape and help the environment. But for now, Mike's coming at you with some gameplay tips. What is up everyone? My name is Zesty Mike. So last week I asked you guys what you wanted to go over this week and I received two questions. One question, can I go over tags? And two, can I go over some tips on gameplay? Now I figured I'd do both. Tags are unimportant. They're only weighed initially and then watch time comes into play. So tags really aren't as important as what you guys think. So instead of worrying about SEO and stuff, spend your time making good videos instead. If you guys want to see a full video over this, I actually did a video on this a while back where I went over it in depth and gave you all the info and details and stuff about SEO and tags and all that stuff. And if you want, you can watch that by clicking the link in the sidebar along with a bunch of other tips and tricks. So now for today's topic. So if you do gameplay, I'm pretty sure you're aware that gaming is very oversaturated and everyone does it. So you have to find a way to stand out from the rest. Step one, make high quality content. Me personally, I'm guilty of taking the easy way out all the time and I actually don't spend a lot of time with my gameplay videos because it's not my main focus. So if this is something that is your main focus, make sure you take the time to make the best video possible. You can record everything in bulk or you can have more control by recording each thing individually. Record your audio through one audio program, gameplay through a screen capture software and then webcam through webcam software. It may sound like a lot more work, but it's worth it then when you get to the editing process. Now you can go and level out audio so it sounds perfect, you can clean up audio and make it more professional, play around with webcam size and position, and all in all have full control over your video. Now that's the best way I've found to do gameplay recordings, but of course there are easier methods. For instance when I do gameplay, I don't really care much about the end results so I don't spend a lot of time editing. I spend more time playing with my dog, obviously. So I use Bandicam to record everything for me. I check save audio tracks as .wave and uncheck audio mixing so when I finish recording it actually separates game and mic audio. Now you can have some control over the levels and you can also add webcam on this software. All in all this saves me a lot of time and makes things much more convenient. Now lastly now that you have high quality content you need to make sure your content is searchable. If you just play Minecraft Survival chances are no one is gonna find you so you have to find a way to separate yourself from the rest. Sorry my dog is currently eating my hand. So if you want to get seen by playing Minecraft you have to find ways to make yourself more unique. For instance play a brand new map that just came out or spotlight a new mod spotlight that just came out. Something that just came out so you don't have much competition. Your goal should be that you want to compete with the less amount of people as possible so that way you have a better chance at organic growth. Another idea is to keep a close eye on games that are just coming out except the game is just releasing you're not gonna have much competition. So if you're the first to tackle it and first to make gameplay on chances are you'll be seen in the search results and you'll have a better chance at organic growth. So do what you can to separate yourself from the rest whether it be keep dogs on your shoulder while you do gameplay trying to keep them entertained so that they don't bark in your videos or you know whatever else you need to do to stand out from the rest and actually be noticed while you're doing your gameplay videos because it can be tough since it is such an oversaturated market. So anyways guys it's it for me Oscar and Nora today. Go bite my leg.
