RE: Part 1. HOW DANGEROUS IS TRAVEL IN IRAQ? See here what I saw.
I'm really enjoying your minute monologues.. Makes me think I should work towards making smaller videos of some kind as well. And I am working on a VLOG but so far the two episodes I've made are over 10 mins.. So.. If I could get something down closer to around 1 minute like yours.. That'd be good, seems like people are more and more watching the smaller clips these days as well.
You should! I think it' key. There's also a growing statistic that millennial's don't want to read news they want to watch it, and some sites are popping up to respond to that.
10 minutes is A LONG TIME to invest in someone, especially at the beginning. If you look on my channel the videos from two years ago, the Westbrooks stuff, that's a family of sisters who already had a HUGE following on the internet. When you're developing an audience from scratch I think you need to find it's home first. (Literally I think my home is here on steemit for obvious reasons as I stated in my introduction.)
It's like the prequalify stages. And although the channel I built on the girls two years ago has 40K+ subscribers, I know those people are not my new target, which is also something to consider. I think if you took your ten minute vlog and started off making 15 second videos or 30 second videos, focus visuals and relatable content, you'd have no problem growing the audience.
ten minutes is a BEAST and you won't see the return on that unless you're filming a train wreck or something similar... if that even makes sense or is helpful.
I agree that there's a lot more potential in smaller videos.. I just have to find out a way to create a shorter kind of video. Not sure I wanna try to reduce the vlog, I might keep that around 5-10 mins.. But I wanna do something shorter around 10 min or a couple mins.. Just gotta figure out what..
Hmmm... Definitely something to consider.. Thanks!
