How I Would Learn YouTube (If I Could Start Over)

Linden, I can tell you from experience of a lot of failure that you hit it right on the money!

Before I found your channel, I bought a course called Tube Mastery by make money Matt that emphasizes on all the noise you said to avoid, and it did nothing but lead to serious burn out and major financial drain.

YouTube started to feel like a chore working like that!

Your method on quality over quantity is exactly what I prefer.

Your rapid channel growth in such a short period is all I need to know you know what you are talking about.

I’m leaving another comment to share my gratitude for this great information!

This was a great down to earth video with no BS. I started my YouTube journey a few months ago doing all the things Linden said was wrong to do. This was exactly what I needed as I'm trying to get monetized by Christmas Day this year.

I agree with a lot of what you said, but there is always one flaw with these types of channels. In your examples, the How to channels, Including yours, always fixate on talking head videos. How to earn a 1 million dollars, or how to make money drop shipping. It always the same example over and over again. There are other types of video out there but know one ever talks about them. In my smaller niche (woodworking) there are plenty of creators that are crushing it without being a talking head video. I wish you and the other "teachers" would focus on other types of videos. You give them lip service, but you never touch on them. I don't want to be a talking head channel and you can be educational without being a talking head. How about some ticks and tips for a "build video" for once. Now don't get me wrong, there are tons of good tips in this video, especially ignoring the noise. I just you would explore different formats occasionally. Thanks

I’m experimenting with using a teleprompter rolling on a tablet as close as possible to my lens but looking back on one I’m re-recording today my eyes were looking away from the lens too much so that’s frustrating. Any tips for using a teleprompter ? How do you see your script ? I see you use quite a lot of cuts and I like doing that too but it would be cool for a detailed video about what you do here - you say ‘script’ but how do you do it in practice ?

I started youtube yesterday and got 16 subscribers. I’m not sure if its good or not. What do you guys think? And can you guys give me some tips on how i can improve?

I’ve posted 28 videos in the past two months and would appreciate some real criticism on them. This channel is so great for helping up and coming YouTubers.
