Hello fantastic WA Family. Good morning, afternoon or evening to you all. I hope you are safe and well.

I have uploaded the 2nd YouTube video and I feel it is a lot better than the 1st attempt. Well, there is a bit of improvement anyway.

This vid has a thumbnail, a splash animation and a subscribe section, I didn't quite put them in the correct places but maybe that will come next time :-)

It has taken me 3 hours to get a 5minute video onto Youtube.

I had forgotten how long it takes to download and re-upload.

Have an amazing FriSatSun.

Lisa :-)

Great job! I am still paralyzed by the thought of doing video for business though. When I got out of the Army around 2013 I made some videos with footage I had taken overseas. It took me days just to make a 3 minute video. A few of my friends liked it but most didn't comment or notice it at all, it was so discouraging and took so much time I eventually gave up on that project. Blogs like yours inspire me to work towards trying to get involved with video though!

Thank you for the encouragement.
I'm still a nervous wreck but it is getting easier and I'm starting to enjoy it :-)
You can see small improvements from my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd video's.

I watched the videos on your channel, gave them a thumbs up, and subscribed from my personal account. You are doing awesome and improving each time, as you said! I bought a $50 course on how to do YouTube videos while I am doing DoorDash and keep making excuses to myself why I have not started. My car needs to be cleaner, My clothes don't look good today, I don't have time to set up the camera etc.

Keep it up, thanks for providing the motivation for the rest of us!

You just have to do it. You cannot improve if you don't start.
Thanks for subscribing and supporting me Jeremy :-)

Good morning Lisa,

I hope you're doing well and you are back on schedule with your business plan.

It's great that you're making YouTube videos, that's a great thing to do. I have been told to "start messy" and then keep improving, in other words, it's better to "start messy" than to do nothing!

That sounds like something is wrong, Lisa, it shouldn't take three hours to upload a YouTube video!. The average video length of one of my videos is normally around four minutes. I normally create the video using Camtasia, it takes about 90 seconds to upload the video to my hard disk. I then upload the video to YouTube and it is viewable within around 10 seconds. I can see the video before my YouTube video goes public.

I appreciate that it probably depends on the power of your computer and Internet speed, however, sounds to me like something is wrong.

I certainly wouldn't say that I'm an expert on YouTube, however, I have created quite a few videos over the years. I am here to help as much as I can.

Have a great weekend.

Roy

Thanks for stopping by Roy.
It took me 3 hours to do everything from start to finish. Making the video, editing it, making the thumbnail, finding the splash animation and the subscribe animation because I forgot where they were :-) Then the uploading of the final video for the editor and then adding it to youtube and giving it a description.
Next time will be much quicker :-)

Have a great weekend

Lisa.

Good morning Lisa,

It's always a pleasure!

Okay, I see, I actually thought you meant three hours to literally upload the video as that would have been exceptionally slow!

It's great that you have started with YouTube, I can promise you it gets much easier and becomes more natural as time goes on.

Have a great Sunday and enjoy Tenerife! This is a time of year when you really reap the benefits of sunny Spain!

Roy

I agree Roy this is a great time of year to live here and walk about in shorts and t-shirt :-)

It's hard to imagine, Lisa, but fantastic at the same time! My wife has been in northern Greece for a few days, near Thessaloniki to be precise. It's actually been quite cold there, you're very fortunate in Spain, especially in the Canaries!

Have a great day and enjoy the nice weather.

Roy

Thank you, my friend.
Enjoy your day too :-)

I keep thinking about starting a channel but So nervous. It’s one of those things I will have to step out of my comfort zone. I will do this when I get more content on my site. The great thing is my kids are great video editors. I keep saying if my 8 year old can do can I. Keep up the great work hun! You’ve got this!

Thanks very much, Lisa. I was the same a nervous wreck but it does get easier the more that you do :-)

Your welcome. It just one of those things you have to just jump in and do. I do see it in my future. :) Thanks for the advice!

My pleasure and you are right you just have to do it.
It also becomes addictive.

I don’t see a link to your channel or video in your profile. It is natural to feel terrified on the first video. I was that way and I could barely hear myself. I was very nervous too, and I looked terrible! But after 3 - 4 videos, I was slowly getting better and also, it helps so much when you have become very familiar with the editor. I am sure you will develop the expertise. Good luck!

Hi Evelyn this is the link from my profile https://www.youtube.com/c/MistakesBloggersMake
Thank you for the great advice :-)

Thank you, Lisa, That was great! Just need a little smile. You are doing well having 325 subscribers. You will improve a lot each time you do one! I subscribed and hit like to your channel. You are doing better than me. I only have 30 subscribers. Maybe I should put a link on the WA platform for my YT and get support from everyone. I do need support. Thanks again for providing a link.

You are very welcome.
Let me know if you put it on your profile and I will watch and subscribe :-)
