Is my husband right? I feel like his channel idea is lame...
So my husband saw this "POV walk through S. Korea" video on at a restaurant. He talked to the owner and the guy said he just likes to have it on in the background. My husband came home as if this was a revelation and said I should do ambient hiking videos. I told him it was a very saturated market, but sure, I'll give it a try. He bought a GoPro and I took my first video and edited it under his direction.
If you search "Peaceful Forest Walk with my Adventure Dog- 25 minutes of Ambient Nature Sounds" that's it. The other vids I see that have lots of views are like 10 hours long...
I think it's lame, but his point is that it's something I do anyway, I don't have to do much editing, and it's something I can do from home with my toddler.
Personally, I feel like it's not valuable. I would rather add value in some way. (He says it's therapeutic, which, sure, I find hiking therapeutic, but do viewers?) I used to be a teacher, so that's definitely coloring my opinion.
I know lots of people ask how to find their niche. My background is in environmental education, anthropology, and now I'm a toddler mom that loves camping, rock climbing, snowboarding, renaissance faires, dancing, exercise and circus arts.
All those niches are a little played out I think, but maybe that's just me? Could I add more value in one of those things? I have some ideas on "How to" videos on traveling with a baby since several friends have asked me for tips. I have been to 7 states, and spent a month roadtripping New Zealand with an under 1 year old.
