What’s your golden rule for making videos?

    I always make sure that I double check my videos before uploading them for everyone to see. I'll even have another person double check the video if they're okay with it going public. This is mainly geared towards the collaborations I have with other content creators. I would feel horrible if I released something another person would feel bad about or regret afterwards.

    Also! I make sure not release 100% uncut commentary for any gameplay video I upload, especially if there's no story to follow in the game.

    What’s your golden rule for making videos?

    My golden rule is to just edit a bit more then what others do. But recently i havent done as much editing as normal. But im slowly getting back into it. (I hit a little demoralisation phase)

    When things come to the golden rules, then I mostly have none.

    But, when I do have a golden rule in place, then upload the content to specific dates, unorganized.

    It's definitely good to work on that quality over quantity. I hope things get easier for you over time!

    As long as you get the content going ^^

    What dead weights did you have in the past?

    I'm trying my best to keep up with the content I am creating, but sometimes I've done way too much videos to render them all, but I gotta do what must be done! KEEP doing your work even when it ain't the full time job.

    a guy wanted do vids but when came time he'd always back out and we'd have do another day and when we played he didin't take things serious and tried to troll at every points so one day i just got fed up killed him in game violently and blocked him from youtube and other social medias cause he was dead weight and a troll wanna be.

    Never rush an edited video. I always try to make sure every edit I put in is in some way interesting and clean (sometimes the latter can be hard). But I always look to make sure my reviews are at the very least funny, since I love making people laugh. Sometimes, however, it's hard to figure out if a joke is funny after hearing it over and over in your head, and over and over in your video. But they seem to work.

    I'm someone that always re-watches my videos while editing and scrutinizes everything I can. My main Golden Rule is - If I don't enjoy watching it, why would someone else?

    I have to be able to meet my own criteria prior to me accepting my content as *upload worthy*. I have to enjoy it and make sure I get a message across, no matter what it is. I must be engaging and not have dead air where possible. That's my number one pet-peeve. But I think that's about it.

    All-in-all, my videos must be enjoyable to watch for myself and my viewers.

    #1 Rule: Have fun.
    #2 Rule: Be yourself. This may evolve; we don't act the same all day, every day, with different people and we change.
    #3 Rule: Keep improving. Not necessarily videos; it can be networking and other back-end stuff.
    #4 Rule: GOTO #1 Rule.
