well welcome back to Steve Robb reviews today it's gonna be an interesting subject and I'm
gonna explain all to you how to be successful on YouTube having a review channel reviewing
different products like many products on my channel are power tools and I review different
ways of using them and different subjects where I say I'm reviewing a certain way how to do
something so the subject came up my viewers I've had many viewers that decided they wanted to you
know try going into YouTube as well and the one fellow said to me Steve I really like the way
that you do your your reviews on your channel and I'd like to you know do reviews like you
and I thought to myself Oh something fell down and I thought to myself you know what I am not
the right guy for for being an example of a real review channel that's very successful for many
reasons and the one main reason is that everything that you see on my channel is just me buying it
myself and reviewing it myself and I don't take a lot of things very seriously nothing I do on
my channel is really like I would say any kind of professional and I want to use a perfect example
of a review I did last month and it was about this DeWalt cordless angle grinder guys when I took all
that apart if you want I'll put a link down in the description or one of the boxes at the end
here show you about that video but it came with an allen wrench and I got like a different one
here now I got a longer one but I couldn't figure out what this was for and a professional reviewer
would know exactly what that was for and I'll tell you something I've got lots of these angle
you know grinder wrenches and I got one that's an adjustable one and I just took some of these off
the wall and I've got plenty of these retaining nuts that hold the grinder disks on there and I
just took it for granted that Dewalt didn't have a clue what was going on when they put that one
of these allen key wrenches in there because I couldn't figure out what it was far so finally one
of my viewers more than one actually mentioned it but the first one was his name is Steve Campbell
from Idaho I think he's I know I hope I got that right but he said it's for this nut here so I come
up for the garage and looked at it went back in the house and I replied back as her knowing all
the holes are completely smooth so guys I tell you that's the difference between a professional that
does tool reviews and somebody who just doesn't know and I did not know so if you take a look
at this hope you can see that but there are two holes there are two holes that this wrench will
fit into and the other two are completely smooth so what did I do I come out here and I looked at
the smooth one right and I figured if it was going to be you know a captured kind of allen wrench it
would be in all of them but no only two so that's why I was completely baffled on that so of course
I had to get myself one of these that fit and of course it will not fit on two sides but the other
two it will and you know I was completely baffled by this and you know my eyes aren't the best as it
is and when I first looked at this I was looking at the smooth hole and I said no there's nothing
in there it's completely smooth so if you want you could take a look at that video and then
see the conversation we had so I had to go back out in the garage again with the flashlight and
check it out and of course he was completely right and that's the best part of all YouTube
I'm not a professional and I learned just as much from my viewers as I do you know as I'm trying to
show everybody else and you know when it comes to reviewing items on a channel what should you
do well I just review the stuff that really that I buy and myself or stuff that I use and I don't
take it too seriously but there are really good reviewers out there I only watch one fellow and
I've watched him for years and years and years and his name is Daniel and when he puts out a
video he gets more views on one video than I get on my whole channel for like almost four years of
being on YouTube so that's the difference between if you want to have a successful YouTube channel
reviewing items you know looking at somebody like what I do now you know what if you want to know
anything about YouTube and how to be successful on YouTube take a look at the people that are
successful and Daniel is probably well he's the only channel that I watch that he reviews tools
and that kind of stuff and you know I thought it was kind of you know flattering at first that
somebody wants to actually emulate something like I do on my channel and reviewing but if
you take a look at my views my views are really tiny I'm just having a lot of fun on YouTube I'm
retired I enjoy doing this I don't take it too seriously and I'm far from a professional that
comes to anything that you see on my channel but Daniel is not Daniel is as far as I'm concerned
the best tool reviewer on YouTube I know there's other people out there and you know I don't know
everybody on YouTube and I don't go looking for any other tool review channels either I
only really watch you know a limited amount of channels like everybody else can and I really
enjoy Daniels channel and I'll put a link down to real tool reviews with Daniel and if you want to
know like everybody else has asked me questions about you know starting up your own channel and
how do you do it well I suggest you take a look at Daniels channel take a look at the link below
and take a look how he has his page set up take a look at the views he has and his format and
watch what he does because this is a professional this is not somebody like me adds up my garage you
know and of course explaining something like this that a professional tool reviewer would know and
I didn't know right and I'm not a professional at anything but I just like to have a lot of fun and
do the best I can with what I know but yeah for all of you that are thinking about maybe starting
up a tool review channel I suggest checking out the link below and watching some of Daniels videos
and see for yourself how he does it and look at his format and look how his page is set up and
you know this is this is the only way that I could suggest to anybody how to start doing tool reviews
and how you should do them and for me it's a no brainer you know look at what the the guys
that are very successful actually do so thanks for joining me here today and I hope that was
a little informative I got a big kick out of this angle grinder video that I did because guys I was
completely lost and I'm just you know so grateful that I've got great viewers watching my channel
helping me out as well so come back again if you ever seen this channel before you're welcome
to subscribe and watch somebody that does tool reviews but not in such a serious fashion Cheers
