10+ waterfalls in one hike :D

Just picked up the Rode Video Mic Pro... We have a special forest service road in my parts that closes two times a year for the annual snake and reptile migrations. I use a Sony AX-53 4K handycam for filming there. Mainly because I can zoom really close to a venomous snake without getting in...

I always tend to get the urge to write articles when I visit this forum. So here I go again, haha. I think the topic of this article warrants it here on TubeBuddy so that is where it is getting posted! Are you a small channel? Do you want to make money with your channel? If you answered yes...

But if you keep those channels going and increase the views, they will then become eligible ;) At least from what I understand, please correct me if I am wrong.

Always have a contingency plan just in case statements like this turn out to be true. I backup all videos and the project files for them on external hard drives. If I have to move elsewhere, all my content can go with me :D

Once I really started reading into today, I have come more and more to an understanding but there is still issues I don't like about it. But it made me think about something important. Like many of you, I made my channel for things other than earning revenue but I welcome to ability to...

Great article :) When it comes to descriptions and tags, I keep my strategy fairly simple. I start searching for keywords in the YouTube search box and then pay attention to what "recommended search strings" are popping up, then I research those. High search rates, low competition = winner. I...

I submitted the form. My hiking videos aimed at fun for the whole family constantly get the yellow icon. I don't get it...

This was really neat :) Thanks for that!

Either asteroids or pong, guess I'm old :P

So in my niche, I cover hiking, a great gear-influenced topic that has a lot of marketing opportunities for companies that want me to sport their stuff. I originally got contacted by an Asia-based company. They wanted to send me their sleeping pads for free in return that I make a video...

I like this feature myself :)

The card is a micro SD: Lexar1000x after that the words on it are way too small for my blind eyes to read lol Shawn needs glasses :P

I have a variety of different camera options. Sony AX-53, GoPro Hero 5 Black, Nikon D7100, Nikon 360 KeyMission and a G7X Mark II. I have to say this, I like the G7X more than any of them. It is just the perfect little vlogging camera and you can flip up the screen for a "selfie mode" as well...
