Wii U video pt 2 & a personal update from me
Added 2017-03-10 10:40:50 +0000 UTC
Hello Patreons old & new,
Hope you are all well, I have a few things I wanted to chat with you all about...
Firstly as you will see attached is my next video which is about 95% complete
- Need to add a few extra graphics.
- Possibly add music during countdowns
- Add my audio for the #1 spot and record an outro
I expect the video to go live either tonight or tomorrow. AND DAMN! I am happy it is over with. such a crazy hard video to piece together!!! I doubt I will do one like this again for a while lol
So, what else do I wanna chat about... a few things actually...
- I am loving my new camera (thank you again) and as you will have seen if you checked out my 2x latest unboxing videos (here and here) I have managed to fix the pixilation which I was having issues with as seen in my Switch unboxing video.
- More unboxings are incoming! I have been contacted by 3 record labels that want me to do unboxings of their video game soundtracks (obviously expect to see these inbetween the bigger videos not in place of)
- I have officially started editing the Grand Theft Auto video click here to see some of the snippets I will be using for it. Looking at my retention time on YouTube Analytics I think I may be cutting the episode into several parts. We will see if this ends up happening during the editing process
- I have loads of ideas for videos stocked up and some of them I have no idea what do with as they are extremely small (couple of minutes max) would you guys be interested in seeing BiteSized SGR episodes? these would again be inbetween bigger projects.
- And finally, which is crazy good news for me! I HAVE BEEN DROPPED FROM MY MAKER CONTRACT!!! for those that don't know I have been a partner on YouTube with Disney owned Maker Studios for about a year n half, the same people that have been in the news recetly after dropping PewDiePie. For anyone that is interested the way a partner works is that they take control of the money incoming on your channel from ad revenue, take a cut and pass the majority on to you. In return they will help grow your channel faster than you would be able to do it on your own! Sounds great on paper until you realise that they are taking 30% of your earnings, you are locked into a 2 year contract and all they do is "give you the tools to promote yourself" all of which are free or almost free elsewhere! DISGUSTING! This company have taken literally £100's possibly £1000's from me and have given me nothing in return. I see this as a huge step forward for the channel as it gets me closer to working on it part time-full time which will result in more episodes. If any of my Patreons want to talk to me about Partners on YouTube and discuss how I was able to grow as quick as I have done then please do let me know (doesn't matter what tier you are) please do get in touch I am more than happy to chat with you and help out in anyway I can.
ANYWAY RANT OVER!!!
A huge thanks again guys for all your support! I have plenty of videos in the pipeline and I hope you are all enjoying these updates :) (feedback always welcome)
Mucho Love
