I found the key to viewer engagement
By accident, I disovered that leaving the chuck key in the metal lathe chuck leads to a lot of comments. Comments is engagement, engagement is good, right?
Well, the video has done well at any rate.

Effects of re-uploading to fix a mistake and analytics malfunction

I accidentaly uploaded a low res version of my latest main channel video. 1.5 hours after that mistake, I re-uploaded a fixed version, then watchend the analytics, only to see the analytics on the first version malfunction! 2 days later, it appears the damage wasn't that great.
Clickbait wasn't always the best strategy
zhlédnutí 13KPřed 2 lety
Clickbait wasn't always the best strategy. It seems more and more youtubers are moving to clickbaity titles. And by clickbaity, I don't just man misleading or dishonest titles, but generally trying to be intriguing to get people to watch the video. And from what I see, it appears to be working. I know a lot of you say you don't click on clickbait, but there is a majority of others who do. So wh...

To get good at making videos you need to.... just make awful videos (cause you need practice)

You need practice. * The technical aspects you can learn without making videos, But gett...
Why a tripod is better than a camera operator
zhlédnutí 22KPřed 5 lety
Why I prefer to film with a tripod vs. having a camera operator: * I can take my time to make a video (no pressure) * I can speed up video without it looking shaky * I can make a lot of jump cuts that aren't obvious But using a tripod has its downsides: * takes time to set up * sometimes I end up out of frame without noticing * Less "professional", but I don't really want that anyway
Don't be an artist for a living
zhlédnutí 31KPřed 5 lety
On why you shouldn't try to be an "artist" for a living. Art is about being cool. We all want to be cool, but we are less into admiring the coolness of others. Which is why we profess to like art, but aren't as much into appreciating art as we claim. Upshot of all this, people say they like art more than they do, which can be deceiving.
Changed the channel name, and where this is going
zhlédnutí 45KPřed 5 lety
This channel used to be called "The heisz wandel project", but it was never about prjects, and john has lost interest, so it's just me talking about CZcams. And talking a bit about where I see this channel going. I still have a number of topics to talk about, so I figure there is at least another six months of life left in this channel. But there's only so many things to say, so I'll run out of...
Why I stopped publishing videos weekly
zhlédnutí 36KPřed 5 lety
Originally I published weekly to slow myself down so I would always have a few videos "in the queue" ready to go, but with less time available, it became stressful keeping up. I realized I didn't even know whether others published weekly, so I figured it probably didn't matter much to my audience what schedule I was on.
Why did my last video do poorly?

    Also on that little lathe the chuck key will hit the ways so at most half a turn and then itll stop and those direct drive have no torque at low speeds so it would juat stop and probably pop the fuse. Nice way to farm the safety police comments lol

    Ah yes, the SS (Safety Sanctimony) squad strikes again. There's also the TS (Tool Sanctimony) squad. If you want to get "engagement" from them, then use your calipers--even cheapo ones--to scribe layout lines. You can get similar results by laying a hand plane on its sole instead of its side when you put it down. Both things drive the TS squad absolutely nuts. Tools for them are more than mere implements . . . they're sacred amulets of the god Hephaestus. Being simple-minded, they also continue to believe the pontifications of their school shop teachers or the scare tactics of their first shop foreman when they were apprentices. Incite them when you can.

    Common sense says that you should read ALL the comments, before you post your witty masterpiece... the reality is that when a video has tens of thousands of comments, you will probably only skip through it, and take your chances of doubling up.
