- Good audio is more important than good video. People can listen to good audio and forgive bad video, but bad audio and people will stop watching. - It takes time/audience to get traction. I started with a bunch of different topics and this was a waste of time. Having a focus for the channel helps. - It takes a ton of time. I enjoy the process but don't underestimate the time commitment. - Don't do it for subs or money, do it if you genuinely enjoy it.

This, this, this, audio matters! It doesn't matter how good your presenting voice is or your video editing skills are, if it sounds like you are in a tin can it's just unbearable to listen to and no amount of post production can ever fix it. The solution doesn't have to be crazy expensive, the difference between simply having people individually miced up and not is huuuge, that's ~£20 or less for a decent wired lavalier. Don't fall down the rabbit hole of mic quality, the difference between using a personal mic and not is the largest voice audio quality jump you will ever achieve, just buy something that you can pin to yourself, make sure it works consistently, preferably that you can tell it's working when you are using it - and that's super good enough.

This is the secret to filmmaking too. Your cinematics can look amazing, but if your sound is amateur, the entire finished product is too. Bad sound kills.

  I just bought a 75 inch TV and strangely HATED watching anything on it. Hooked up a soundbar (something I said I would never waste money on) and I can't stop binge watching.
