Such good tips! My first video was delayed and delayed b/c I was nervous or felt I didn’t have the right equipment. Once I pressed record there was no turning back! I just passed 1000 subscribers and am so grateful for this channel helping me to do that!

Editing 101:
9:03 - Edit your A Roll (main video)
9:15 - Edit your B Roll (supporting shots, shots that you take to elaborate on whatever you’re talking about)
9:25 - Add music

This is what I struggle with, A LOT. Thanks for this video, it was really helpful! 🫶

How to make your first YouTube video: *You gotta just press record!* 🤣

Nolan, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! This content is worth GOLD. Especially for a beginner, like me! Worth watching TWICE.

[Linda-cvwd]

Every once in a while I come across a fun personality to watch - that is you. I only hope I can start my first video with as much personality. Thanks for the tips!

[kimfitspiritsoulbody]

Thanks... I actually know more than I thought I did! Your videos are fun, informative, and uplifting.

My first video was DIY on a Maglite flashlight and what Sean said is true. Man, I don't know how many times I messed up, and took me a lot of time just for that video. Once, I am done editing and uploaded it to youtube and my video had BiG FAT zero views. I don't know why, I was rookies at the time. Later down the road, I found out why I didn't get any views because I didn't add any keywords/tags and with bad thumbnail. After I fixed the thumbnail and add all the keywords/tags then the algo started recommending my video to the world. My video was from 0 view to over 5k views ever since I did all that. Thanks to you Sean. Now, if anyone out there were doing your first video, don't be discouraged by all those things. Just be yourself and do what you love, and you'll be fine. Happy shooting your video and Merry Christmas.

[OnlineHustleDad]

I didn't know about the watch connecting to the iPhone to control the camera on the phone. Learned something new. Thank you.

[Jayell]

This video is awesome!! Great job Nolan :)

I just launched my YouTube trailer 3 weeks ago. It was a big relief to finally do it as it was taking forever to launch. Now, there are other concerns but oh well. I use a script and teleprompter. I film it several times. Going without a script takes me way too long in preparation. I have never been very good at ad libbing.

[HCAI_Learning]

Thank you for posting this. I am trying to start my channel and I have 30 - 40 videos that will never see the light of day lol. I appreciate this so much!

[cyrilorozco]
