As a rule, don’t compare your YouTube stats, to those of other YouTubers. Set realistic goals for your channel and only make comparisons with yourself. Otherwise, you might get discouraged when you see others racking up numbers on one single video that you can’t muster across your entire channel!
Ileane Smith's insight:
The other day I watched a video where the guy was telling people to copy all of their tags and paste them at the bottom of the video description. I found out awhile ago that there’s really no need to do that because clearly YouTube/Google has no problem reading the tags in the first place. Repeating them is not only redundant but it might also hurt your standings in YouTube search. I took this snippet of text right out of YouTube Creators Playbook "Reminder: It is a violation of YouTube’s Terms of Service to use misleading metadata and blocks of keywords in your description field." I’m sure this fellow meant well but I sure hope he reads this post and doesn’t get his channel banned.

[YouTube Cons] YouTube comments. For lots of people this is single-handedly the best and worst thing about YouTube. YouTube commenters are vicious. They will say anything and everything. People could call this trolling depending on what the end result these commenters are wishing to get out of their comments. Comments could be considered virtual word-of-mouth, both positive and negative, but from my YouTube experience most comments are very negative.

How to use Playlists to support your content and leverage each video
Ileane Smith's insight:
My comment: Great video +dottotech you're so right about the benefits of using YouTube playlists. You mentioned that some people used to add intros - we used to be able to create those short intros in the YouTube editor but they got rid of that feature. It was very buggy so I guess it was for the best. I'm now using Animoto to make the playlist intros like I did with this Canva Tutorial Playlist that I curated. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNaEwbQaxEWC-ijIGhCpJIyJoAiS3GX2B

A look at the other side of the coin! In this video, popular YouTuber David DiFranco debunks the common myth about separating unrelated content into different YouTube channels. I agree with some of what David is saying here but I also think that this theory should not be applied across the board. In other words, there are lots of YouTube channels that are losing subscribers because they upload unrelated videos. David has the "kid next store" kind of personality that most of his audience cares to see what he is doing - even if it's not tech related. OR they just skip the unrelated videos (like I do) because we know that something we are interested in will be uploaded soon. For example I would not watch David's "camping" video but there is no way I'm going to unsubscribe from his channel.

When a passion or a personal project inspires a business, it's bound to have good results for like-minded people. That's what was behind a series of Røde Microphones designed originally for the non-professional consumer market, yet has become a world-wide tool for videography at all levels as the capabilities of digital cameras themselves blur the line between consumer and professional use. In this interview with Scott Emerton, Marketing Manager of Røde Microphones, I learned how Røde Microphones founder and president, Peter Freedman, set about creating a microphone for video recording that would suit his taste after getting frustrated from the poor audio coming out of a DV camera he was using to film his son's rugby game. Being unable to find anything on the market at a reasonable price and meant for this kind of camera, he used his own expertise and company resources to create what he considered to be a suitable external microphone for these cameras. When DSLR cameras appeared wit

Last week Vine made a pretty big update that went unnoticed by many, but to me it feels like a big move that places it more on par to have videos that are more sharable and can reach a much broader audience than ever before. It's not really directly competing with YouTube yet giving it's specific niche in highly consumable video content, but it's certainly a platform to start exploring for your own online video efforts.

After seeing this, I decided to give Vine a try. If you're over there be sure to follow me!!

I like that the speaker Will was straightforward and thorough with explaining different mic options and how to apply different techniques to help the recording process. It interested me that Will demonstrated the muff or "dead cat" showing that the usual use is for wind noise reduction but it may be used for reducing noise in certain vocal overtones.
