The "I love you" at the end makes me chuckle every time. I love you, too.
haha glad the love is mutual Tanner!
Sanza is the luckiest .... Hope I am pronouncing it correct.
Sameeee
As someone who writes emails for a living, I agree wholeheartedly. Your suggestions about "being human" are spot on. LOVE your videos, Danny... keep 'em coming! 😎
Thanks so much! Haha from copywriters themselves!
I write copy for some of my friend's websites as a favor. I've also found the same ideas apply there too. Nobody wants to read a 1000 word blurb haha!
You took a video about writing emails and made it connect on an emotional and inspirational level... “You’re a wizard Harry.”
Haha thank you man!!
CZcams kept recommending your videos through their algorithm. The first video I watched was the one on your friend, the music artist who has a CD coming out soon. I enjoyed your story around him and even went to watch his wedding video, which I enjoyed. In the comments of that video, someone wrote, "Your channel is one of the most wholesome ones on. CZcams." I appreciate your vulnerability. You seem to be a kind spirit. You talked about making the outreach unique. What stands out about your videos is that you're the only CZcamsr who I follow that closes their video with "I love you." I can appreciate that honesty and vulnerability. BTW, I also enjoyed your video on imposter syndrome. Thanks for the value you've provided me.
Ahahah this video was so relevant! I just DM Danny just saying I liked his work. He voice messaged me back saying that he appreciated my message. I was blown away. He really practice what he preaches ..... love ya Danny lol
Love you too brotha!! I truly appreciated your message!
Subject: Thanks Danny for your videos. I don’t want to be a filmmaker. I don’t want anything from you. I just enjoy your videos.
Hahaha thanks so much man
Man, I can't stress enough how much value I get from your videos. I always bring out a little notebook every time I click one of yours :D . Thank you as always.
Haha amazing bro. Thank you!
Your demeanor and personality comes across as humble and grateful, so I don't think you have to worry too much about coming off as braggy or ungrateful!
Thanks man! I really appreciate you saying thay
I totally agree. I really appreciate people who have a quiet, humble, confidence.
You are the first youtuber, that reponds and like my comment, that is already a big thing! Thanks, I'm totally, receiving that tip, to reach out, which I never did! :) Thanks Danny! all the way from BELGIUM :)
haha of course! Thanks so much!
Solid advice - I adopted a more personable approach when I contacted some MTB companies last year and backed this up by giving them free work, while suggesting what I could do to hit their brand on a brief they didn't think they needed. it worked 20% of the time but I believe without that effort it could of been zero. Bottom line is these companies need work doing, they have plenty of choice who they give that work to so be genuine, they like genuine, they're interested in you as much as what you can do.
Thanks for sharing dude. Absolutely! Thank you!
It's interesting how your videos are ... perfect fit for my personal situations. Out of randomness, I know but... I thought how to approach my reel... boom, a reel video. I ask you how is your youtube setup, boom, that vid. Now I've wrote a rather personal message to a potential employer, he answered back and I have to reply and this video is up. Danny. You are one of a kind.
Thank you so much man! That makes me so happy!
most videos skip the conclusion because you've already heard it
Danny Gevirtz videos: stays till and to hear "and I love you"
Haha just know I mean it too man. Thank you!
Bro, I was thinking about this subject for almost 2 months now, and I really didn't know to make that first step in reaching out. This video really inspired me to send those emails and keep moving forward. I love you
Love you too brotha! Thank you!!!
first!! fun fact! danny reached out to me approx 5 years ago!!! 🤪🤪🤪
Yeah right and you left me on read!
@@DannyGevirtz hahah, hurts doesnt it 😅
Points made, and pertinence. Bravo !
Long story short... a friend of mine is a casting director, specialized in extras. He got hired for a series about the "Holy inquisition", set in Europe during the XIIIth century... to "purifiy".
He had to find some 300-ish extras with flexible schedules, the right "faces", some specific skills (for about 10% of the total), etc.
He released an ad on some Website, to ask for candidates... received 6000 applications.
So I asked him "How did you managed the process of choosing ?".
"Simple... I ran it into steps : no "Subject" leading the e-mail DELETED, no "Hello" ahead of the text DELETED, no courtesy or thank-you's DELETED, no decent/clean self-portrait DELETED, poor orthograph and grammar DELETED, not compeling with my infos requests DELETED, and a few more. Just with this, I took it down to 1200... then moved on to run the real selection."
That's how it goes... these guys/girls have 24 hours a day + a huge amount of work + a sensitivity. If you can't get this... better be a computer repair technician. lol
Hey Danny, I was thinking to get to know you more before I send you the outreach email, and then I clicked on this video... and turned busy subscribing to everything of you then. You are such an amazing person full of love, I can feel the warmth through the screen. No matter what I'm giving now fits your need or not, I'm very thankful for getting to know you through the process. Thank you, and I love you too
Mr. Gevirtz, with everything you have going on am I surprised that you have time to respond to any of us. You are a true gentleman and have a great heart. Please make sure to spend time with your friends and loved ones before you ever reply to anything I ever send you.
Everyone Else: There's only one of him.
DANNY! You're my favorite CZcams filmmaker. Keep making these informative and inspirational videos.
That makes me so happy man. Thank you so much!
Danny, have you always said I love you in your videos ? I think this awesome how you make each video so personal to the viewer because we don’t know exactly know who our viewers are or what they are going through, so just 3 words can be so impactful to their day. I love it man and I love your channel and I love your work.. I love you man ... in like a not creepy , brotherly kinda way Hahha. Have a great rest of you week!
I really do love you man haha. I felt like I needed to say it. Like people don’t truly understand how much I care that they care about me and what I’m doing. I truly mean it. It makes me emotional haha
Danny Gevirtz I can sense it because it’s genuine.
This is so important and something that I’ve only recently been able to take a step back from and realize I’ve been doing it wrong for so long. Love the tips and the part about having to give without expecting anything in return I think is huge!
Glad it was helpful dude! Thanks so much!
Danny for sure walks the talk! Thanks, bro for all the advice and for the generosity of the channel!
Ay thanks so much! I appreciate you!
Just wanted to say that at 2:58 your idea of putting your head in the lower part of the frame and looking at the questions was such a small yet amazing idea. I appreciate the thought that you put into that part Danny. Thanks for always inspiring me man.
Found your channel a few weeks ago Danny. Allll of your content and monologues have reallllly resonated with me. This one probably the most. There are so many things I’m weak at or afraid to try, but I can speak from experience that what you said in this video works, and has worked for me and gotten me almost all my opportunities. Being honest and offering something are the most important two things I’ve found. Thanks again for making fantastic content!! Cheers man!
That makes me so happy to hear that man! Thank you so much!!!!
I think it’s important to let the recipient know you care (as you said, follow them, study the company’s strategy, etc.) and that your e-mail should succinctly communicate why they should care; what’s their benefit.
Many years ago, I really wanted to switch industries to the automotive industry and Infiniti and Lexus were in pre-launch. I wrote both for marketing mgr positions, got rejected by their HR dep’ts because they wanted car experience. I kept writing but directed my mail to the VP/Gen’l Mgrs every three of four weeks, citing recent articles about them and how I could help strategically or tactically. After about three months, Infiniti’s VP/GM hired me for my dream job of helping launching a car company. HR wasn’t happy, lol.
haha thanks for sharing man!
I must say this is the most underrated video I've seen on YT so far this year. Excellent message 🙌🏾
Thank you so much man!
@@DannyGevirtz You're welcome. I appreciate you responding. As a small CZcamsr I look to creators like you for inspiration 👌🏾
Thank you for this video. Being human is a good reminder that there's also another human being on the other end when making a connection. Great content!
Straight to the subject. I'm starting the binge again man. Glad to see so much content again ❤️
So glad I stumbled on your CZcams! Thank you for what you're doing Danny!
I messaged Danny just last week not expecting any message in return, just because I was finishing watching one of his videos and wanted to thank him for his amazing work. He replied with a voice message which was amazing plus he put the effort to go and see my feed to notice I was a photographer. Thanks man 🙏🏽
Dude of course! Haha it was no biggie at all! I appreciate you a ton man!
You didn't sound ungrateful mate. You look like a nice guy with good and honest energy and that's the reason why we are here.
Thanks for saying that man! Means a ton!
I watch / subscribed to you and your channel because of your positivity. It feels supportive, encouraging and inspirational. Thanks for that Dude!
Thank you so much Dennis!
We love Sansa! ❤️ Thank you for being a real amazing human being. Kudos to you, dude.
When I first started following you I sent you a video of mine in instagram (which inspired from one of your videos) and you answered me so nicely. Now I understand how kind of you this answer was. Thank you so much! and I am sorry for sending my video! You are a great inspiration for me. Love you.
haha no worries dude i dont mind but i know it bothers other people! Im happy people feel comfortable reaching out to me. Thanks man!
Don't mind all my comments Danny, just enjoying the value you bring to each video.
You're vastly underappreciated. Keep it
Had to learn this the hard way. Really good tips man. Being genuine and unapologetic about reaching out are the most important in my opinion.
Thanks so much man!
one of the few channels i watch it's videos from start to finish! Thanks
Amazing! Thanks so much Ali!
Starting my first product company, after freelancing for the past several years, my perspective on making videos for brands has changed. Being on the company's side as well as the freelance creative side, it's giving me a much different approach to reaching out which I think is where you're speaking from. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely thanks for sharing!!!
Danny I swear you're reading my mind with these videos. I send out my first few emails this week and you come out with some great tips. Appreciate you my man!
haha i love that man! Thanks so much!
Danny is one person that practice what he preaches. I learnt alot from today's video, as always I'm grateful!
David! Thank you so much man!
Soooooo good. Just the feel of these videos is so good AND ontop of the relaxed atmosphere you bring, you are covering such goof topics. Never stop!!
Haha thank you Oscar! That makes me really happy man
I downloaded most of your videos, because you taught me a lot and i just want to thank you❤️
This topic is rarely talked about but is super important! And I like how you have experience being the person to reach out and also are starting to see what it's like from the other side :)
Thanks so much Emmy! Haha yeah it’s a weird position to be in now
Love it. Watching a video about how to intro yourself to someone isn’t typically something I’m looking for... but this kept me watching until the end! Great tips and as always, I love you too.
Hahah me neither. Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Danny, thank you for tjis video and others tjat you put out. You always have great info. Awesome stuff man. Really awesome.
Of course! Thank you so much for watching!
Another great video! really love your content and advice I just found you today and have been binge watching.
this is very wholesome content. I like it.
Really nice to see a video of value i have never seen before either. Well played sir
So cool that you follow and chat with Mumbo! It's crazy to see how talented you both are and to see how from Mumbo's perspective, two completely unrelated interests like minecraft and filmmaking can collide and co-exist ;)
I really need this! Thanks Danny, you are really helpful!
For sure dude! Thank you!
thank you for these wonderful tips😄
I was really hoping someone would make a video on this! Thanks again!
Of course!! Thanks so much!
Thank you for this video, it's the first one I see on the subject with such solid points !
Of course thank you!!
currently wondering how I didn't find this channel sooner... BRILLIANT
Great advice, Danny - thanks for sharing!
Such a good video man! Solid tips, I’m going to start using.
This is killer. I’ve said and followed this advice to many times. Even so, it’s so good to hear again. Thanks man
thank you man!
Super helpful Danny. Very valuable and practical information. 👌
Thanks so much CJ!
It seems that no matter what topic you choose to talk about, you tell the story so good and I'm already looking forward to the next one.
So glad you think that!! Thank you so much again!
Thank you for answering my question Danny. I appreciate your content.
haha for sure man! Thank you!
Hey Danny, stumbled across your channel a week ago and just love the vibe and authenticity. Just starting out in photography/videographay a hobby, and enjoy your videos. Much love
Thanks so much John! Glad you stumbled upon the channel
Hey Danny, you sure do a great job! I really love your content, have been watching all your videos more than 2 TIMES in this quarantine period. I just want to thank you for making good quality videos, and hope you can come up more videos soon. Anyway, wish you have a nice day!
That’s incredible!!! Thanks so much. That makes me so happy!
You’re always so thoughtful with your topics and talking points man. Love this stuff! looking forward to the next one!!!
Thanks brotha! I look forward to seeing you in the comments next time too! No pressure lol
Danny Gevirtz lol 😜
Would love to hear more about the Jeep story, what that deck looked like and all that. I’m attempting to do this for outdoor brands and loved that you mentioned it. Keep killing it with these videos 🤘🏼
Thanks man! Haha its too old for me to talk more about it
@@DannyGevirtz lol no worries, just shows how far you've come!
Once again, Danny here with another great video. I love the nostalgic experience of your videos. Love ya!
Thank you so much Bailey! Happy to hear that it has that vibe to it!
That's a great eye openning topic. Thank you, man!
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Great advice!! :) However, I do have something to say regarding the "be a normal human being" part. As someone on the autism spectrum, it's hard enough for me to read social clues in real-life sometimes, and although I've been doing better and better at it, a lot of the times people misinterpret my intentions quite badly. I also rely on formal ways when I just don't know how I should do or say something. Sometimes I start a conversation, everything is going well, and suddenly, they just stop responding to me and I don't know why and I'm just totally clueless. But... then again I can always mention that at some point in the conversation I guess. Now that I think about it, I had a good rate of success reaching out so far. Even had someone reaching out to me to ask if they could draw some of my pictures! That's great :)
I want to email him so badly... Hey Danny, I hope you find this collection of memes well. Lovingly sincere cheers, Kent
Hahaha you’re welcome too man
two of my favourite creators. We love to see it👏
Bro I love your dare shirts. They crack me up!
For someone who is building a career online, this message hits home. thank you again and send my love to Sansa 😍
Hahaha I will man! Thanks so much!
Really appreciate the advice Danny. I definitely have some reaching out to do!
Thanks so much man!
Good one!!! Keep on with the channel!! You’re creating an awesome content!🤘🏽🤘🏽 can’t wait to watch the next vid!😍
Thanks so much Ruben!
Great upload danny, I really appreciate the advice. It’s a topic that all creatives need to know but nobody ever talks about. Thank you for talking about it:) we love you too
For sure josh! Thank you so much brotha!!!
Not many people talk about this, it's super helpful, thanks man!
Glad you thought so man thank you!
I totally agree! Thank you for your video. 🤗👌It was so useful! I am so glad that I discovered you. I just subscribed and I am so excited to watch more of your videos.👏🤝 Keep up the good work! You are brilliant! 🥳👍
Danny i actually truly and deeply appreciate that you take the time out to reply to my DMs. Sending you more creative filmmaking energy all the way from West Australia! Keep up the inspo ❤❤❤🎞📽⚡
I love your messages! Thank you so much brotha!
Great value, as always! You're doing a great job, can't wait for your channel to grow!
Thank you so much brotha!
Very valuable lessons to be learned here, thank you for sharing. These are definitely the tools I will use in future. As always another amazing and helpful video!
For sure brotha! Appreciate seeing you here week after week! Thank you
This is such a great video, learnt so much!!!! Thank you Danny 🙌🏻
Thanks so much Ben!!!
As a 17 yo phototgraphe who just started last year, I find this really helpful. Even tho I'm not bad at communicating I find myself hard to reach out to other people sometimes.
Thanks for posting this again Danny. ❤️🤙
Absolutely! Thanks so much!
Hey, I am in the same shoes! What is your Instagram handle, would love to connect!
@@nourasalifu2172 It's @the.lightbyliquid on Instagram
Man thanks for reaching out to me!
I was just writing a reach out email, i randomly opened CZcams and saw this video in my subscriptions haha ! Now tell me you weren't sent to give me inspiration at the right moment and I won't believe you
Hahaha I’m here for you my guy!
That was so amazing as always or maybe i just love watching your videos while enjoying my meal....
That makes me so happy. like I wasnt people to watch while they eat because thats how I watch youtube too. haha thanks as always homie!
Would love to see a video on your editing workflow and how you edit sound!!
As always a video I need. Great content as always!
For sure! Thank you man!!!
You hit the ball outta the park with this one. Stay humble brotha
Thanks so much Christian!
Hahaha I think we forget the "be a human part" a lot. I think we should always remember that the person being the screen has his/her own stress, troubles, and feelings.
And congrats on having this new chapter with the channel! Your content is great!
Thank you so much man! Appreciate you!
Needed this, thanks.
For sure! Thanks so much!
Honestly, great advice! Thanks again, Danny
