He inspired to me to shoot my own vlogs. I also enjoy small brained American

How do you balance your Work and Travel Vlogging?

I currently do 3 things, I have a Full-time as a Multimedia Specialist for a Media company, I do Travel vlogging for 2 years (Monetized), and lastly I do Freelance as a Drone Pilot. Now for those in my same position, I would like to ask the ff questions:

• Do you see your Travel channel as Full time?
• or Do you see your Travel channel as a sideline income only (additional source)?
• If you do more than 2 tasks, how do you balance it per week or per month?
• Do you feel 'Art Block' or the feeling of becoming overwhelmed Despite earning money from it?

I started taking my YouTube channel more seriously recently. It’s still very small (86 subscribers 😄), but I’ve already made enough videos to realize that the part I need to improve isn’t really filming or editing — it’s understanding what makes a video actually work on YouTube.

I’m mainly looking to get better at:

• choosing video ideas/topics with good potential
• titles and thumbnails
• hooks and audience retention
• storytelling/pacing for long-form videos
• understanding analytics and knowing what I should actually learn from them
• building a clearer content strategy instead of just making individual videos and hoping they work

My channel is long-form travel content, so I’m especially interested in something that applies to that rather than Shorts/TikTok growth.

I’m happy to pay for a course if it’s genuinely useful. I’d also be interested in something that includes feedback/coaching on your actual channel rather than only prerecorded lessons.

I’m not really looking for a course about starting a YouTube channel, equipment, editing basics, monetization, selling courses, etc. I feel like I need to get much better at making videos people actually want to click on and keep watching first.

Has anyone here taken a course or worked with a YouTube coach that genuinely helped you improve? What would you recommend, or avoid?

I’d especially love recommendations from people who actually paid for the course/coaching themselves rather than affiliates. 😄

Looking for a Travel & Content Partner for a Long-Term World Trip

I'm planning a long-term world trip and I'm looking for someone who wants to travel, explore different countries, and create video content together.

The idea isn't just to be travel buddies. I'd like to build a small travel-content project together while experiencing the world.

I already have my own camera and video equipment, so you don't need to have professional equipment. I'd mainly be looking for someone who is interested in being part of the journey and creating content together.

Important: This is not a paid job and there is no salary or fixed payment. We would be traveling as partners, sharing our own travel expenses and working together on the content.

What I'm looking for:

• Open to long-term travel
• Interested in video/content creation
• Comfortable with backpacking and moving between countries
• Flexible and easygoing
• Willing to share travel responsibilities and expenses
• Interested in exploring rather than staying in resorts
• Reliable and respectful of personal space
• Enjoys meeting new people and experiencing different cultures

The plan is flexible, but Southeast Asia is likely to be one of the first regions.

I'm not expecting us to commit to a year immediately. I'd rather start with a 1–3 week trip, see if we work well together, and then decide whether to continue.

If you're seriously interested, send me a message telling me:

1. Where you're from
2. Your age
3. Your travel experience
4. How long you could travel
5. What kind of content you'd like to create
6. Your approximate travel budget
7. Whether you have any experience with filming, editing, or social media

I'm looking for someone who genuinely wants to travel, create, and build something together, not just someone looking for a free trip.

Is anyone else cross posting to Rumble? We received an email from them that we should consider this - seems like it’s all news/gaming/politics but I’ve sent some questions back. Any thoughts here?

I'm looking for a short video (~2 minutes) that went viral around 2015–2018.

It’s about a man who gets fired from his job and whose girlfriend leaves him. He travels to a beach destination full of parties, meets two girls, and they go to parties together in his open off-road car. He ends up sleeping with a girl dressed in a white dress. At the end of the video, his boss calls him and he ignores the call.

The video is well-edited and has a good soundtrack.

Back then on YouTube, the thumbnail showed a white blonde girl sitting on the beach in a bikini.

Hey guys,

I’m making this post because I’m starting to feel stagnant with my side project/passion project. Last year I started working on making travel content based on my adventures I’ve been on.

I’ve had moments where my videos on TikTok would go slightly viral, but nothing too crazy (~20k views, and decent engagement). The motivation and passionate is still there, but I want to know how I can start taking a seriously and adopting a mindset of “I’m gonna make this a full-time job”

I understand the travel world is a bit oversaturated, but my specific niche owns in on more than just the scenic social media shots. I like talking about the interstate system, random gas stations, roadside attractions, why it’s fun for me to drive eight hours across the Midwest, etc. I also talk about and show my hiking adventures and national Park stories.

I’ve communicated with brands online and I’ve gotten responses from such brands as Camping World®, REI, and state travel accounts. “Visit South Dakota” being one.

If anybody can lend me some advice or point me in the right direction to truly take this more seriously. Examples of something I wanna do is start making my own graphics for itineraries and Instagram posts, design my own maps and find a better way to execute my niche.

Thank you!
