I love what you do, I really do. But the beginning is a bit misleading. The video of you launching a business is 100% recommended to all people following Think Media. This is a one off with 3.5K subs, not gonna be the usual performance. Without context I really do find it misleading => Wouldn't recommend anyone starting a youtube channel to bet on unedited videos. Yes it can be part of the strategy but taking you as an example is 100% misleading, especially with your experience.

Great story! Being a YouTuber is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of help from Fame- ster of course) will always pay off at the end.

Just be yourself, genuine people will see that shine through on your videos

There has to be a lot of wisdom to make these type of videos with no editing and get millions of views :)

[NancyBadillo]

I love the fact you can grow without editing videos. I personally am not the best when it comes to editing so this is great news. Thank you for sharing so much amazing content.

[clipkut]

The people who can get away with no editing, are those who have a lot of charisma, speed in articulating their thoughts, and public speaking ability. If you're not in that category yet, there is very little chance that people will stick around listening to someone rambling, stumbling on words, being nervous, not looking at the camera, etc... Editing can help you put out great content, while you're improving your camera and speaking skills.

[WalkthruSEO]

I think most people don't even pay much attention to thumbnails anymore. While they can be done very well, we are so use to over the top, attention grabbing thumbnails that our eyes just slide by them. What I find has been leading to tremendous views lately, is really enticing titles. Not just focusing on SEO to get YouTube to put you in front of people's faces, but title copy that people read and just HAVE to tap on.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how Nolan used chrome as a slide deck?👏🏻😄

You just got another subscriber
There’s so much insight here…. Thanks so much, Nolan.
I’m currently at 521 subscribers, still testing and getting better.

Editing is just a tool to help effectively deliver the material. Content and ideas always come first. Good video!

[beatbuildersstudio]

I bet the "no editing style" isn't really new. What probably happened was a lot of creators were already not editing because they didn't know how.
Most people don't know the "rules" of making content.
Then all of a sudden a channel gets big with the no editing style.
Then people comment on it in hindsight and conclude no editing works.
I'm reality we don't know why something really works. If we did. The advice would work everyone and it doesn't.

[BrettWhitmarsh]

You’re right about that storytelling aspect. They’re not selling anything either

[Brian_The_Lion]

What is Confirmation Bias?
Now show the millions of YouTube videos with no editing that have 10 views.
You can cherry pick someone who got lucky and won the lottery but that doesn't prove playing the lottery is a good investment strategy does it?

[TeacherKellyTag]

This is great news because editing is what prevents me from getting out more videos. I like going live because of the lack of editing. Although lately I have been going back and doing simple edits in YouTube studio.

[RobertGossCreator]

I do not beleive that editing it what gets views or subscribers. I feel the value of the content is the magic answer. Thanks so much for sharing this Nolan great content

[katarinawatson]

Thanks for your thoughts on this! I'm learning from your channel and others, and I've really enjoyed several videos from smaller channels lately (Sometimes can be a more meaningful video than something really polished.)👍-and SO appreciate when people are being authentic, which is attractive and comes through, and authenticity doesn't require a budget...

[AshleyPaquinOffical]

Good video thank you. I went from 0 to 10, 600 subs in 9 months and the number one comment I get is about my authenticity. My editing is mediocre at best and I'm naturally more analog so it's all working out very well.

[voyageadventurevans]

Editing is definitely my major cause / reason for procrastination.

[anticonfidencegirl]

Know who your audience is: I think as the content attracts or repels the viewer it’s really about pushing the content that you want (ex: no editing) + I believe they are higher quality viewer because they are not about the flashy animations and dopamine :) with my small YT channel I started moving to no editing and when done right (with improved script and awesome topic), it’s better!

[TheLampNow]

Thank you for sharing this. After learning from you, in this video, I feel a sense of freedom. Because editing takes so much of my time, it has become an excuse for me to be inconsistent on YT.

This video has inspired me to produce some unedited videos, which will save me time and sanity 🌞💯
Thank you so much. I can't wait for you next video.
God bless.
