this no idea what that is
salutations everybody and welcome back to my channel if you're new here I'm a
professional videographer that has created this channel to support your
video quality if that's something I interest to you or if you like this
video I would totally consider subscribing and hitting that like button
but in the first question you're probably asking yourself is where the
hell is he well I am in the creepy woods all alone I just got done finishing a
shoot and the crew has left me all alone so I am here because I'm motivated to
create this video mainly because one thing and that is because I just feel
grateful that the world of video is starting to come to me versus me running
towards it so not only do I want to share the three tips that have helped me
get sponsors with under a thousand subs but I wanted to show you tips with you
guys so you can get exposure for not only yourself before your work I'm about
an hour and 20 minutes before I have to go to my next shoot and that's why I've
been so motivated to do this videos because my world is totally revolved
around video take for example today I have 14 hours of just video shooting
it's like a disgusting blissful dream trust me okay so to prove that I'm
genuine about this I think it's important to note that I don't have more
than 2,000 followers on any social platform these tips are literally just
what I did to create relationships with sponsors and to also get really cool
video gigs but before I share those tips let's go through a preface of what you
should already be doing that way these three tips will help you I'm gonna go
ahead and do that while I try to find my car I don't know where it is and I am
now in a rush so let's do that so I feel the two things that you should already
start doing or if you're not doing start right now of course you heard the usual
things like hard work and dedication and consistency so I'm not gonna bore you
with those what I will say is that you should already be reaching out to the
people you want to get sponsored by everything lives on the DM when it comes
to business have the courage to reach out to a company but not just reach out
and say hey give me free stuff provide value some way shape or form if you have
over a thousand subscribers this is gonna be a lot easier for you just make
sure you don't ask without giving and here's the other thing that you should
be doing you should be creating the content that makes it worthy for
companies to actually want to work with you that could be your value add and
that's the strategy that I took is I essentially created videos and made the
company's products look awesome and as you can see I haven't even hit a
thousand subscribers during the making of this video but the one thing I
focused on was quality and that's what allowed me to get the
to reach out to these companies and what's the worst that can happen they
say no well okay that just leaves you in the exact same position that you're in
today which is in the bad one okay I'm totally rambling on about these products
and sponsorships so let's go in and take you back a few days so this makes a
little bit more sense so there are very few things in life that truly make me
happy some of those you can probably guess the health of my family my family
in general my health my creativity my brain these are the things that make me
happy but there's something else that makes me happy
gear especially free gear I'm gonna open up some of this stuff mainly because I'm
shooting a short film you've seen this after the short film tell me what you
think I need a segment name or something here like I'm gonna get free gear every
day of the year but whatever the name will be boring unboxing gear with Ben
let's start with little oh oh did I cut a little love note or something this is
from the guys at peak light so if one day I don't cut myself doing that peak
light has given me a peak light thanks peak light wow that's tiny now here's
the big one oh oh my god no you didn't
okay so I did not in my wildest dreams think you're gonna give me three of
their brand new products but they did you guys may know who this is
Thank You Joby Wow thank you Oh Don little stickers you're not gonna see
this cuz I'm overexposing but it says Gorillapod and it's a sticker
this says Joby and it's also a sticker where is my car I can't find I hear cars
so I'm headed in that direction oh I found it so now that I'm in my car
hopefully all that made sense we're gonna head to the gig now so I can give
you those three tips
okay I'm finally here so real quick I wanted to share three tips to get
yourself noticed as a video creator the first one is quality over quantity
unfortunately YouTube is now favoring how much you're doing versus how good
you do it which sucks but hey whatever but keep in mind anyone can just hit a
record button and start recording themselves Oh get me wrong I'm sure you
have something valuable and important to say but also keep in mind anyone can do
that that is the key factor so just master
your crap if you don't know any of the basics or the rule of thirds or any type
of cinematography in general learn that if you feel that you're not a good
editor and you need to enhance your skills and you can't necessarily do what
those on YouTube are doing then learns that understand that what you put out is
your resume it leads you to great things it leads you to those sponsorships it
leads you to shooting UFC fight nights here in Austin Texas so focusing on
quality is just the right thing to do it sounds simple but you guys got to
understand that not many people are actually doing that moving on then the
second thing exposure how do you get yourself out there well you essentially
do uncomfortable things you vlog in a parking lot you just can't really care
what other people think otherwise you won't go anywhere consider the world of
video can consider videography consider that a party you need to be the life of
the party if this takes you back to scary moments in high school yeah it's
scary there's a lot of people out there but you need to get noticed put yourself
into the conversation no one's gonna know who you are unless you tell them
don't be fancy follow as many people in Instagram or Facebook or subscribe to as
many channels as you feel and create good content either better than yours or
equal to yours chances are if you're doing something really uncomfortable
that's the start to this also just focus on being the life of the video party
connect with as many people as you can within the Nisha
IRIN provide them value in any way you can and I guarantee you're gonna start
to put eyes on your channel or your work whichever one is more important to you
and for the third tip I'm probably gonna have to demonstrate it since I don't
want you to think that I'm bogus plus I always like to lead by example so let's
do that the last thing is to take risks I'm not
really supposed to be filming in here right now I've been working but I'm
doing it she needs me to an idea do you want to see behind the scenes of a UFC
but I think I'll show you some
lots of snacks I gotta go missing the fight I'm already late
pretty cool right it's wrists like that that allow you to not only bring value
to others but give you a good time life is short have fun capture moments that
not many people have the opportunity to capture it stuff like that that's just
gonna set you above the rest and bring value to hundreds of people thousands of
people millions of people who watch you life is nothing without risk and it's up
to you to take it crazy and that concludes the video so
that's it the gig is over shot what I shot I had a great time hopefully you
enjoyed some of that behind the scenes footage and remember quality versus
quantity put yourself out there to get exposed and take risks those are the
three things that I focus on and now they're starting to really reap some
benefits I hope you found this video helpful if you did please hit that like
button subscribe for more videos like this two hands your video quality and I
will see you on the next one I'm going to bed because it's past midnight and I
don't do that ever but and if you're wondering yes I did run way over there
to get that shot so
