Thanks for that last one. I usually skip the intros, talking and get right to the trails and she does a pretty good job of just showing good trail content. Thanks for the link!

dude most mine get a few thousand views but I have one that’s over 20k. It’s weird.
My top video is me installing a suicide knob...it just involves tightening a screw?!?!? I made it as a joke. WTF? I keep getting negative comments on it as well which is confusing.
In fact all my install videos do WAY better than my adventure videos. I find that to be disappointing because the adventure videos take way more effort and I'm way more proud of them.

I see channels that have under 10k subscribers with a single video that has around 1 million views. I’m mostly talking about van life people and the video is a tour video of their build. I need to do a walk around of my truck. I just hate filming.
I haven’t had too many negative comments yet but I know YouTube can be really rough.
I can’t remember if I’m subscribed to you, but I’m pretty sure I have been for a while. Have you uploaded recently? Can I get the link?
Eh people like weird things. Some crazy trails I’ve been on get very few views but a drive through the woods with nothing crazy gets a ton (sometimes) lol.
I uploaded last week and the week before. I should be uploading this week but editing is not fun. Link is in my signature.
EDIT: And now I broke my sig
EDIT2: It's fixed now

Sweet! Don't judge the early videos too harshly. I think they have gotten better as I went along.Wtf, I wasn't subscribed. Not cool.
But now I have something to binge later.
Oh, I won't. I feel like I'm not capable of making a video that isn't cringe.
It's like a newer version of Limewire and you don't even have to download the videos.What's a YouTube?
I have a YouTube: UnpavedPreferred
Not Tacoma specific, my pockets don't run that deep. Exploring on foot or wheels.

This looks peaceful. Will watch them later.
Almost exactly a year after ordering my camper, I finally made this video...

Gimbal/technology struggles. I appreciate the candor.
I have to admit, I watched most of this video in the shower this morning. Haha good video I enjoyed this.
I’m happy to be able to shower with you!
A lot of people told me they liked the humor in my first video. In this one I tried to edit it in a way that the humor helps the pacing and retention.
For real. I should just hold the phone and try to stabilize the footage next time.
Not sure how I just saw this thread haha
Thanks @Tacomadad18 for the shout!
My channel is still small (soooo close to 1k subs) but I mainly do install and review videos. Started the channel by making install videos that weren't available when I needed them.
Now that my truck is more built out, I'll be doing more of the adventure-style videos (off-roading, overlanding, camping, etc.)
Luckily I really enjoy creating content so it's more a hobby for me than anything else. If you're in it for other reasons you probably won't be as successful.
I only have 670 views on my favorite video while a very mediocre video hit 23k haha gotta love it

I've found YouTube to be a weird place. I don't know what I expected but the metrics/analytics is an interesting thing they provide. Nearly 1k views and 28 subs. I see other folks have low subs and better content, at least entertaining, than people raking in ad revenue. I'll just do what I want because I have that much control.
I don’t know how I wasn’t already subscribed but I am now. Your channel looks like you know the video grind so I’m sure I’ll learn some things when I start watching your videos.
I’m considering trying TubeBuddy but I’ve heard mixed reviews.
Your SEO (search optimization) is important. But at the same time I think luck is a huge factor. Videos from small channels go viral to the point where I’ve seen 500k to 1m views on a channel that averages 10k views. Crazy.
I recently started using TubeBuddy. Have seen a slight uptick views on some videos. SEO is definitely better though, which is evident with their tool that shows what rank your video shows up on certain search terms.
It helps but the YouTube algorithm is still a mystery haha

I have a YouTube channel focused on Family Adventure that is going to have more Tacoma content. A recent trip we took will have some mild "wheeling."

LOVE THE NIGHT RIDER!
I tried Mr. Buddy and found it to be clunky and slowed my browser down. Its purpose is good but the execution is meh.
I found an alternative called VidIQ that seems to have a better interface, isn’t slow, and has better developers. You guys should try that one.
