Hey guys, I run a small channel mostly from Croatia and other parts of Europe, videos in English as I am an American, I truly appreciate it if you guys check it out and subscribe if you enjoy it. Many of the places I have made videos of were the first on youtube (or at least first in English) here is the direct link to the channel and I have already posted a few vids in the video section. Thank you again. https://youtube.com/c/TattooedTraveler

How to get popular?

Put words like "secret" and "hidden" in your titles.

To be honest, no idea. I've been making videos for decades and I'm still shot St it.

TT, I'm off to check out your channel now.

Cheers

The best advice I can give you is to Just Start.

Don't expect a lot out of your early videos, but they will get better with time. Your cell phone will be good enough to get started, so don't wait until you can afford the "right camera" or the "right PC" to edit on. Learning to tell a good story is more important than any of your hardware. And of course, learning to edit so you can tell your story in a meaningful way.

Here's my two recommended YouTube channels:

Primal Video - lots of YouTube and editing tutorials, plus he frequently evaluates the best free software, low price cameras, etc

Javen Dovey - this guy is all about story telling, getting the right shots, how to get cinematic footage, shooting your video when you are alone, etc

It can all feel a bit overwhelming, but once you get the first video or two uploaded to your channel, it becomes easier and easier.

Cool, I'll definitely check out your channel! I also have a travel channel and just posted my first video of a trip to Ecuador here: https://www.youtub...atch?v=tT4CqMCrN6M Getting feedback is really important to me as a beginner. For editing, I found Movavi super helpful. It's like having iMovie for PC, which made things easier for me.

Using Movavi, I could edit my videos smoothly, and it's great for someone starting out. It helped me put together my Ecuador footage in a way that looked good and felt professional.

Hey wait, I just defaced your post thinking it was another spam and your account was compromised. Sorry about that.

The first thing is you shouldn't think of creating exploring videos as a means to be popular or get millions of views. The last thing this hobby needs is more people in it who are only wanting self exposure and popularity, who then end up getting places ruined for the sake of that.

It's a massively over-saturated market already and unless you have some serious experience in creating well shot documentary-style videos that aren't just composed of someone walking around going 'HOI GOIIIIS' and waving a light around at night then to be honest you won't be one of the few that has pushed themselves through that level after working on their craft for years and actually made it - as harsh as it sounds that is true.

+ 1,000,000

Even after all the brags that came out of that maniacal over inflated ego narsacistic douche nozzle Max Power boasting of "his crew" and his "fans" finally gave in to reality and gave up. Likely because his mother kicked him out of her basement and made him get a job lol. Speaking of the business end of douches, does anyone under the age of 30 even know who Lord Rick is?!? Regardless, won't find anyone give him an ounce of respect, despite his claims of popularity and success.

Real documentarians - I am 100% in and will even flip a few sheckles at your Patreon. Content "creators" and "influencers" can blow a donkey.

However no matter what direction one takes, be it the respected route or of the donkey blowing variety, those that achieve wild success legit work 100+ hours a week to get there and stay there. Of course there are always exceptions, but in general if you want it bad enough, you'll most likely have to give everything else up. Forget about the band, the girlfriend, the parties, the job, etc. The people that truly made it accepted the challenges because they were hard, not because they were easy. And they continue to bust their ass daily to stay there.

MHO, my $0.02.
