Precious Advice for New Vtubers

[00:00] actually here's a piece of advice to

[00:01] anyone who wants to be Tu or is like new

[00:02] if I go to your Twitter and I just see

[00:04] flaton images of your model I'm going to

[00:06] get the impression that it's not rigged

[00:07] and I couldn't watch you anywhere and

[00:09] you're not ready yet now if that's the

[00:10] truth and you like this person of in

[00:12] your bio like debut TBA that's fair but

[00:14] you're not going to get much out of this

[00:15] effort make content don't worry about it

[00:17] right now come up with ideas watch other

[00:19] people's content script out things that

[00:22] you want to record later when your model

[00:23] is done and then as soon as your model

[00:24] is done record all those videos or those

[00:27] shorts or whatever and uh and go for it

[00:30] right like then you start posting it

[00:31] you'll get way more mileage out of using

[00:33] using your time that way they made a

[00:34] whole post where they did a Showcase of

[00:36] their model where they just zoomed in on

[00:38] several like details of it and it's five

[00:41] likes and they're posting stuff like

[00:42] this every day and I'm looking at it and

[00:44] I'm like you could you could instead of

[00:45] like cropping on these and then posting

[00:46] it doesn't take that much time but like

[00:47] use that time on uh scripting I think

[00:50] content outside of Twitter right uh all

[00:52] of it I think posting content on Twitter

[00:53] is still good and then the other piece

[00:54] of advice I want to give is this person

[00:56] reposts like people that they seem to be

[00:58] friends with like all of their posts so

[01:00] when I scroll through their Twitter I

[01:01] see like a million retweets of other

[01:04] vtubers that aren't them I think it's

[01:06] okay to retweet some of your friends

[01:08] stuff but if you retweet so much of it

[01:09] that I see more of other vtubers faces

[01:12] and content on your Twitter than seeing

[01:15] you then I I do not learn anything about

[01:17] you when I scroll and I'll stop

[01:18] scrolling after a few posts right I

[01:19] can't tell who you are I don't know what

[01:20] your content is I don't know what you're

[01:21] about at all so if you retweet a lot and

[01:24] you don't post enough of your own stuff

[01:25] to to have it in between every post Then

[01:27] I then I'm like what is this this person

[01:30] even do anything you know you look like

[01:31] you only retweet stuff and maybe you

[01:33] stream but I wouldn't even know that cuz

[01:34] I wouldn't see any posts related to it

[01:36] you know what I mean like and if you

[01:37] want to support someone retweeting isn't

[01:38] going to help that much but but replying

[01:40] and liking will still retweeting does

[01:42] still kind of help but uh if you don't

[01:44] have a huge following it doesn't do much

[01:46] but if you reply it will do more for

[01:48] that person by giving them another like

[01:50] you know number up on the reply count

[01:52] for engagement than retweeting it to you

[01:54] know 500 people there are ways that you

[01:56] can just uh support more heavily in my

[01:58] opinion without making your own stuff

[02:00] look like you know a whole lot of

[02:01] nothing basically you just you just

[02:03] don't want to give people the wrong

[02:04] impression that they go to your Twitter

[02:05] and they think you don't do anything if

[02:06] you don't have any anything to show

[02:08] don't spend your time trying to promote

[02:09] nothing because you have nothing start

[02:12] like I said start scripting stuff or or

[02:13] just watching other content and getting

[02:15] that stuff in your brain right just get

[02:17] all of that in your brain so you start

[02:18] to understand what what you'd like to do

[02:20] what you'd like to try and now you have

[02:22] a list of things to try as soon as

[02:23] you're actually like you know your

[02:25] models done you're making content or

[02:26] whatever to be honest become content

[02:28] pilled yeah it takes a long time to

[02:29] develop that so it' be good content

[02:31] should be posted to Twitter for the

[02:32] express reason of getting people off

[02:34] Twitter to your channel yeah yeah

[02:35] exactly you don't want to get twitter

[02:37] followers who are just going to be

[02:38] Twitter followers it doesn't get you

[02:39] anything you can't sell anyone anything

[02:41] through Twitter uh you can reply a lot

[02:43] and have people enjoy you but they're

[02:45] not going to watch other stuff now if

[02:47] you're just doing this as a hobby and

[02:48] you don't really want to monetize it

[02:49] nothing wrong with that don't worry

[02:50] about it I don't think you should go

[02:52] into it thinking you're going to

[02:53] monetize it unless you're like already

[02:55] at that point of being able to kind of

[02:57] but you know if you switch to that kind

[02:58] of mode and you're like I do maybe want

[03:00] to do this as a job I think I think I'd

[03:02] enjoy it and I want to at least have it

[03:04] fund itself right so it's like maybe

[03:06] like a serious hobby for you maybe not a

[03:07] job job you got to start thinking about

[03:09] it differently you know what I mean a

[03:10] lot of YouTubers got it into their mind

[03:12] that they have to be streamers and they

[03:15] they like all try to become streamers

[03:16] and I don't think it's the right route

[03:18] for everyone especially because like

[03:19] streaming takes a lot of hours to get

[03:21] anything out of it but you could spend

[03:22] arguably fewer hours just making a [ __ ]

[03:24] ton of shorts and be a short SC straight

[03:26] up why not why not just do that first

[03:29] why honestly why stream for your first

[03:32] like 6 months but why stream in your

[03:34] first couple of months instead of just

[03:37] purely doing like shorts and some videos

[03:39] and things and then start streaming if

[03:41] you want to stream right I think if I if

[03:43] I started today I'd do that shorts are

[03:46] iffy everything's iffy well that's

[03:48] literally everything's iffy I mean only

[03:49] like 0 1% of people even make it in

[03:51] content at all but you have more of a

[03:53] chance of being randomly found when you

[03:55] have nothing on YouTube versus then on

[03:58] doing that on Twitch or Twitter right

[03:59] just it's just like it it's so hard to

[04:02] make it work out when you have nothing

[04:03] on those platforms whereas on YouTube If

[04:05] you make a fresh account and you start

[04:06] posting stuff as long as that stuff is

[04:08] good YouTube always like tries to give

[04:10] you some recommendations at least to

[04:11] start with so uh I feel like that's like

[04:14] it's less timec consuming and it's a

[04:15] better spot to put your energy into and

[04:17] then if it starts to work or it doesn't

[04:19] work or maybe certain things work you

[04:20] can figure out your content and really

[04:22] think about it critically right but if

[04:24] you're just like I'm going to poo stream

[04:25] I'm going to get a model and I'm just

[04:26] going to stream and I'm just going to do

[04:27] that for months and and you're not

[04:28] really streaming to many people you

[04:29] don't have have enough viewers or people

[04:32] around commenting on things to get

[04:33] really good feedback to know what's

[04:35] working it's like not enough of a data

[04:36] set right so it's hard to figure out

[04:38] like what you should be doing and I

[04:41] think you know arguably if it's a hobby

[04:42] you should just do whatever you want but

[04:43] at the same time if if you do intend to

[04:45] grow cuz people say they don't want to

[04:46] grow or you know I'd say nine nine out

[04:48] of 10 times they're lying they would

[04:49] like it they're just trying to not look

[04:51] like they want money cuz that's fair not

[04:53] everyone's trying to make a money thing

[04:54] they all want it to grow so that they

[04:55] can feel like they're doing a good job

[04:56] right I think it's good to do something

[05:00] where you potentially at least can grab

[05:03] more people seeing it so you get more

[05:04] feedback so you know what to improve on

[05:06] right you could grab a PNG up and down

[05:08] like Macha and do comedy skits like Hara

[05:10] yeah you don't even you don't even need

[05:12] any look at all the YouTubers that just

[05:13] do content with their voice only and

[05:15] some random images like you could do

[05:17] that to sort of like get used to being a

[05:20] content creator and learning how to do

[05:21] it do the thing and then later on decide

[05:24] if you even want that other stuff why

[05:26] shorts over longer videos making longer

[05:28] videos scripting them out everything is

[05:30] hard it's hard to make quality videos

[05:32] like that um there's a reason why most

[05:33] streamers their only videos are just

[05:35] stream highlights and not like things

[05:37] made for YouTube like white glove

[05:40] YouTube only content kind of thing also

[05:42] yeah the shorts algo is a bit more

[05:43] forgiving it's a bit more forgiving it's

[05:45] it's more likely to be launched a little

[05:47] bit but yeah shorts because they are

[05:49] short they're a little easier to make um

[05:51] and you don't have to script out a long

[05:53] thing so if you have an idea but you

[05:54] don't know how to make that idea into 10

[05:56] minutes of content you know we'll make

[05:57] it into like 30 seconds boom right right

[05:59] so I think if you are a content creator

[06:01] starting out and you don't really know

[06:02] that much about content you're much

[06:04] better off trying to just make shorts

[06:05] workout for you and then from there

[06:07] maybe doing a bigger video If you start

[06:08] off with long videos I think most people

[06:10] have a hard time poony yeah longer

[06:11] content takes more time to produce yeah

[06:13] cuz you could [ __ ] out like 20 shorts or

[06:15] you could make like one long video that

[06:17] might not get picked up by the algo and

[06:18] you just end up wasting more time

[06:20] whereas you could build up your Channel

[06:21] with shorts very slowly but maybe if

[06:23] you're consistent you can build

[06:24] something and then try releasing a long

[06:26] video and it'll have way more of a

[06:28] chance because at least you have some

[06:29] sub subcribers right I don't know I'm

[06:31] just trying to think about like what's

[06:32] most efficient here cuz most people when

[06:34] they're starting out they're college

[06:35] students and they should not be devoting

[06:37] their life to content they should be

[06:39] devoting their life to college or

[06:41] they're in like their first job or two

[06:43] and they're working and they don't have

[06:44] time to like go crazy on content so I

[06:47] don't know I think you're just better

[06:48] off uh making some damn shorts to be

[06:51] honest record 1 hour of Minecraft and

[06:52] chop it into 10minute videos dude the

[06:54] Minecraft algo goes [ __ ] crazy if you

[06:57] like Minecraft and you could play a lot

[06:59] of hour of it just be a Minecraft

[07:01] content creator don't even don't even be

[07:02] like I'm going to be a variety of

[07:03] YouTuber just go [ __ ] make Minecraft

[07:05] videos and be happy I you you'll have a

[07:07] great time I promise so it seems like

[07:09] the meta for Content changes every

[07:10] couple weeks so it's very hard uh so

[07:13] here's the problem why you shouldn't

[07:15] look at the meta too much The Meta

[07:17] changes or it looks like it changes

[07:19] because a few people doing a certain

[07:21] thing pop off those people were usually

[07:23] doing that certain thing for a while and

[07:25] then the Alo started to like it but

[07:27] consistency is still King right because

[07:30] if you make if you do a monthly YouTube

[07:32] video of a certain type it's it's

[07:34] specifically a relaxing ASMR Minecraft

[07:37] Long play it's a 2hour video of you

[07:39] playing Minecraft with a million shaders

[07:40] on and and it's only Minecraft sounds no

[07:43] commentary right there you go your

[07:45] channel has a stick that could work

[07:47] people might see one of those videos

[07:48] work out and they're like oh my God this

[07:50] is the meta now for Minecraft creators

[07:51] no they are also people like cam who we

[07:53] were just on block wars with the other

[07:55] day who just make Minecraft shorts and

[07:57] they focus on literally shorts and and

[07:59] his actually let me show you let me use

[08:01] him as an example he's such a good

[08:03] example of someone who like found their

[08:05] Niche through being consistent when you

[08:07] go to his oldest videos you sort by

[08:10] oldest and you look at what worked you

[08:12] know what worked out for him now he

[08:14] deleted some old [ __ ] that didn't work

[08:15] out I'll just say that but he took the

[08:16] stuff that did work out and he kept

[08:18] repeating it and it looks like this how

[08:20] far can you fall in Minecraft the most

[08:21] damaged in Minecraft the strongest

[08:23] Minecraft mob three of these videos the

[08:25] rarest blank in Minecraft right there's

[08:27] there's a a huge level of con

[08:29] consistency to what he did right and

[08:31] like not going to lie if I liked one of

[08:33] these shorts I would instantly sub to

[08:34] this channel without watching the other

[08:36] shorts because I would look at how

[08:38] they're all like the same type of

[08:39] content and I'd be like wow that's

[08:42] reliable I know that that thing I liked

[08:44] I'm going to find more of it I'm going

[08:45] to hit sub right and it would [ __ ] it

[08:48] would work it would work on me but if I

[08:49] went to his channel and it was like a

[08:50] bunch of Minecraft stuff but it was all

[08:52] wildly different I'd be like I might not

[08:54] get that thing that I liked that first

[08:55] brought me here so I don't know if I'm

[08:57] going to press the the sub button so I

[08:59] don't know people will be like Oh The

[09:00] Meta changes but I think you just should

[09:02] do a thing and the moment one thing

[09:03] works keep doing that one thing there

[09:05] you go that's your personal meta it

[09:07] doesn't mean it's the meta you know what

[09:08] I'm saying and make sure it's a thing

[09:10] you like doing
