If you asked a YouTube question in a prior thread in this video I will have most likely responded to it and provided feedback! I don't know if I'll do this style of video every time (as it took quite some time to review and record and edit lol) but so far so good.

If you asked or wanted to talk about Money/Fitness I'll work on a follow up response soon.

FOR NOW: This video makes it very clear to me that the #1 priority for all of you wanting to break into the YouTube market is DIRECTION and KEEPING IT SIMPLE.

In this video, I'll talk about:

  • Starting a YouTube Channel
  • Fixing a YouTube Channel
  • Thumbnails, Titles, Descriptions
  • Editing Programs
  • Finding Your Niche

And more. The common theme I'm noticing is too many of you guys too far into the weeds. We have to go back to the fundamentals and the basics.

Anyway, yeah! Enjoy! Feel free to let me know what you guys think by replying below.

Hey, Omni! First off, I really appreciate you doing feedback for Patreons that are also YouTubers in the first place. It’s very cool you’re doing this in the first place for those that need this sort of thing from one that is very experienced like yourself. The feedback you gave me is really helpful. I’m gonna try to be more consistent with my uploads starting soon. The only thing that gets in the way of me doing it immediately is the video I have coming on the 24th (which is a video about the infamous movie The Room in time for its 20th anniversary) the video I planned to come after it (which is a short video calling out Gossip Journalism, as I already got some newspapers that will pertain to the topic) and a video I foreshadow heavily at the end of The Room video that I plan to make and upload around the holidays, but after that, I’m gonna try to cover more broad video game and movie topics, like a movie/video game that came out recently. I’m also DEFINITELY gonna change that bio. I mostly had it just say “I make videos” as a joke, but the more I think about it when you mentioned it, it’s not good for people that are new, so I’ll change it soon. Finally, I’ve been thinking of doing this for a while, but I think after your feedback, I’m gonna do it. From my first video up to “Random Individual is BACK!” I was less worried about overall quality in my videos, had a continuing story that I abandoned, and just winged it, if that makes sense. That being said, I’m going to put a disclaimer in the title of every video up to that point that clarifies that the video is old and not as high of quality. Maybe I’ll do what Caddicarus did and put “(OLD)” in the beginning of it or something. Let me know if that’s a good idea or not, because I’m still a tiny bit skeptical on it. With all of this in mind, I might do an update video or community post before I upload The Room video to update everyone on these changes I’m making. Thanks again for the feedback! Sorry if this was very long, I just had to get all of this off my chest, I guess. Take care!

Skibbidi bibbidi, really good feedback all around. My channel, Spielmeister456, is kinda dead in the water rn due to lack of motivation to make videos. While small, I have the audience, and I especially have the ability to produce content with my experience in videography & presentation, but I can't just stare at a blank canvas and expect Starry Night or Mona Lisa to just appear out of nowhere. Depression is a bitch. I just oughtta get off my ass and get back to making stuff b/c the moment I open premiere, I feel the drive. Anyways, feel free to peep my stuff too if you wanna fit it in your schedule, I'd love to hear what you think about my obsession with FDC908-yellow and my autistic vrchat shenanigans. Thanks for all you do dude, Hayden Allega aka Spielmeister456 aka funny bungus man

Keep me posted. I’m very curious to see how your channel develops. You have good presentation skills and storytelling.

Depression def is a bitch. Finding motivation to create is tough when you have something fighting against that very thought. I believe in you tho. Drop your channel link and perhaps a vid that you’d want me to take a look at.

Based on your response I am clearly doing everything wrong. I have always had a base idea besides us talking about everything that the channel is. So, before I get to anything else I will, as you suggested, start by figuring out what the channel is. Based on where we go with all of our topics we do have some sort of style of content. If I were to post several different videos could you give me some feedback on how to define our channel. I have been thinking of taking everything out that is not the "funny bits." Please let me know what you think. I will not focus on thumbnails or titles just clips of stuff that would be the style of content.

Hey Omni, it would be kinda cool if you could host a weekly, biweekly, or even monthly Q&A for the Omniverse peeps that allows us to ask some questions either about you or the topics you have cultivated within the Omniverse. Just a thought I had that might make it easier to create short patreon videos that answer some of the small questions we got. Stay safe Omni! 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for taking the time to really dive into my channel and give me genuine advice. I appreciate it very much and I have done my homework and I believe I listened to all the points you made. I unlisted all my videos that aren’t Pokémon related and made a new video emulating a mixture of 3 creators who are Pokémon centered that I think I can emulate. My homework assignment answers are Osiris, Austin John Plays, and Adrive. Thank you again for taking the time to help me make the adjustments I need to in order to succeed and create a solid foundation for myself.

Btw, this is what I have been needing. I have heard nothing but good comments about the content itself but no constructive criticism. I would like to say that all of the thumbnails are different because I had been trying different things to see what would work and had not changed anything up to this point.

Thanks for the video man! It was super insightful to hear your feedback on the channels you looked it! And, totally my bad LOL, I should’ve linked my channel. https://youtube.com/@rakeh3ll Next upload will be on July 7th, and I plan on dropping content the first Friday of every month. With standup, it really depends on when/how often I get out on stage in my community. Luckily, I have a good group of local people here that are active in that scene and guiding me along the way, however, I did just upload the shorts I’ve been putting off to make sure you have some stuff to actually review. I also post the remixes I make on SoundCloud for free. Obviously can’t make money off of it, since it’s remixing copyrighted music but this “Hi…” series is laid out for the next 9 months with each remix going “after” someone bigger than the last. I’m copying the format of a lot of YouTube rappers (I.e. Token, Hopsin, etc.) who do this kinda thing for clicks and views. My editing situation is also FUBAR. My laptop is basically a fancy paperweight and I am saving up to replace it, but I have no choice but to use iMovie to do a bulk of the video editing. It took an extra 5 hours of general exports to get the first video done and finalized. I plan on making the videos more simplistic to save time and editing, and also have some photo/video friends who will hold my camera for me as we shoot the videos, which really helped the next video that’s coming out next month. You’ll also notice a huge discrepancy between when the channel started and the lack of content, and that’s because I’ve had to unlist or delete a lot of my past content throughout the years due to bullying and harassment sent my way from some communities. Was forced to start from scratch, and honestly didn’t even think I’d be doing music again, period. I didn’t want to start a new channel mainly because I’m doing this as an outlet and personal challenge for myself, but I still want to be sure I’m doing everything as right as it can be in terms of thumbnails, tags, etc. Appreciate the insight and the potential excitement I saw at the end. Hope you dig it man!

Heya Omni! Ty for taking your time to respond to us ❤️ I want to say that I want to be a content creator for majority of final fantasy, and some jrpg games that I enjoy. My go to that I look up to is Maximillian_Dood. The one, the only, SF dad legend. Even tho i started following him for 3 years (thank you covid and ff7r), he has been my most watched streamer. I do enjoy his excitement with his fighting games, while giving some variety of other games like final fantasy, monster Hunter, cod, etc. so I want to do something like that when it comes to my channel. There are some others that I wouldn’t mine such as yourself when it comes talking about news, or like angryjoe where he is all over from streaming, board games, trailer reactions, and of course, video game reviews. This is my channel right now: https://youtube.com/@Xenkei if you want a small peek 🫣 At the moment, it’s all over the place, especially where it started. A lot of it has some final fantasy 14 raids that I’ve cleared, and it shown that I tried doing a let’s ply with crisis core. And after watching your video just now, and hearing your feedback to other people, I did indeed take some notes and I want to unlist majority of the videos, and basically start a bit new, where I’m focusing on content I want to make.

Hey Omni, thx for the feedback. Apologies for the late reply. As for what kind of content I want to make I'm deciding on making informative edquevideos on games that I play such as Destiny 2 or Warframe and add some humour onto jt. I may go with Destiny since that game is more popular and my knowledge on that game is better. However right now, the games are kind of on a stale trend and attention isn't on those games as Diablo IV just released. I may wait until a new season or update drops. I will probably try Adobe Premiere and if there's any tips you can share, I greatly appreciate it As for Channels I want to emulate, it's actually kind of difficult for me. One reason on what made me want to create content is that I feel like none of the channels give me that feel to copy, but probably improve. I don't know how to phrase but something along those terms. For example, In Destiny there are weapons that I feel like are heavily underrated and yet no videos of them are updated or very generic. On a game with build crafting, I want to share ways to use what you want and how to make it work, and other topics such as why you shouldn't try to use this weapon or armor piece. As I type this I think I do want to get into Destiny, but before I commit, I at least want to make like my prototype ish video or something like that, sounds weird as I re read it. I will most likely use a script as I believe I think too fast and do have some stutters and say, "uh" too much and backtrack. Oh and about those old game clips I mentioned. It was just some clips of me and my friends playing games, saying and doing stupid stuff together. I would probably make a new channel or unlist those videos.

Did wanna also add a reply for context, but I’ve also made some distinct changes to my content from a copyright and privacy perspective. Even though the above is accurate about bullying and harassment, I also don’t wanna stir the pot further with these individuals, so I’ve made edits to all my tracks to ensure that any potential identifiable lines are completely censored from the song and video entirely. It’s about sharing my perspective, and not cancelling anybody. It’s not worth the smoke at the end of the day. This is also a trick that rappers use when they get too personal on some of their songs, I’m just putting my own spin on things. This whole personal project is about validating my own experiences through having fun first, and it’s all just for entertainment purposes only. I don’t plan or even want to make money off this content specifically at the end of the day. If anything were to come of this tho… I’d definitely be in the market for a manager 😏 I hope you dig it dude!
