This is going to be a fun episode. We're going to be going mountain biking. We're
going to be talking about should I do one YouTube channel or 2? The reason I'm
talking about that because I've actually been working on a second YouTube channel
for several months now. A couple months. And it's been a big debate. Should I
launch it as a second channel? Should I combine it with the Nate Woodbury
channel? There are pros and cons to both. There are so many different types of
videos that I want to create. The other thing that we're going to be
discussing or at least demonstrating is got a brand new camera. This is my first
point and shoot camera. I don't actually know how to use all the features on it
yet. I'm a very used to using one of my
GoPros. Not because I have a second one. And I know how to use DSLR. I use it in
manual mode and I know how to control all the settings. On this point-and-shoot,
I'll do a review of it, comprehensive review in another episode. But I don't
know how to use it yet. Anyway, this is another beauty. I'm going to be using for
the first time today. This is the GoPro Hero 6 black. I'm going to be hooking this
one to my chest. I've got some brand new dead cat fur that I'm going to be using
today. Don't worry, no cats were harmed in the filming of this episode. I'm going to be
strapping this one to my helmet, as usual. And I've got some spare batteries for
the point-and-shoot Sony. It's the Sony R-X100 VI. That's a mouthful. And I've got a
spare battery for the new GoPro. And we're going to do all this in a very
special place. Alright, we are here almost. We're actually in the parking lot.
Can you see that? The Draper temple. And just over there is where the
trailhead is. It's the Coyote Hollow Trailhead. And go over to the map. We're
turning down Coyote Hollow Court right now and this is the Coyote Hollow
Trailhead. They've been putting in brand new maps. By the way, with this wind, how
does my dead cat fur work? You know, it looks like they've got the old map here.
But I'll still be able to show you. Okay, so we are right here. We're going to be
going up the Canyon Hollow trail across here. Zigzag back here and we're over
with Brock's Points Trail, I thought it was Brock's trail but I guess it's Brock's
point. I'm coming right here to the corral. And
then you see here in yellow, if you can't see that, it's kinda hard for me to see.
This yellow trail is called Rush trail. It brings us right down there and we
come right back. We just climb right back up to where we begin. You want to see? The big
dilemma that's one on my mind. Whether or not to do 2 channels or one. I've got
2 brands I've got my "Be the hero" brand and then the second channel would be under a
new brand, "Let's try it." And I've been filming lots of episodes for it. I got
about a dozen. But at the time I filming this video right now, I haven't launched
them yet because don't know what channel to put them on. See the disadvantages of
putting them all on one channel, there are 2 different audiences because
they're different types of content. They've got a different goal and a
different purpose. With my "Be the hero" videos, I'm talking about YouTube. And
you know, the type of people that I want to find me there are (Coming up)
type of people that are finding me there
are people that, you know, need help with YouTube. You how, they put in some new...
Speed bumps here. This is a good spot for speed bumps. Yeah, I mean I even get
potential video clients or coaching clients people that are finding me
because of my "Be the hero" content because I'm... That's what I'm doing, I'm training.
It's a lot of how-to. But on my "Let's try it", the reason I'm doing that channel is
because when it's fun, I get a review products that aren't related to video or
camera or YouTube. You get to go on adventures and travel and explore places,
explore new things. So, it's just been a dilemma. 2
different audiences. 2 different goals. With one, I'll get sponsorships and
opportunities to travel. With the other I'm seen as an expert on YouTube. And
they get a showcase my expertise there.
There are some huge disadvantages. Well, that's a big D. Huge disadvantages to
doing 2 channels versus one. And you have to double the work. I mean to get
the best results from the YouTube algorithm, you got to go daily. At least
5 videos a week. Ideally seven. And with two channels that
doubles the amount of work you've got to do. So, my thinking right now is I'm going to
combine them into one channel. And people are just going to like it or they won't.
This is the Nate Woodbury channel, I do in studio reviews, I do tutorials and I
go mountain biking. And I go to national parks. And I go down water slides. And I
eat at restaurants. Tell me, am I crazy? Should I do 1 should I do 2? What
do you think? If I do 2 different channels, that'll put me up to 10 daily
YouTube channels that I manage. Now, this part in here, it's beautiful I love trees,
I love shade, greenery.
We're on Brock's trail right now. This is a beautiful spot. Any time of year, you
come through here in the fall and there's all these amazing colors. Tons of
shade right now. We're coming up on the corral. Which is the crossroads of
several trails. And we get to go down the rest trail. Oh, there's a deer. A little baby
farm. Well, there's a mama. Hi there. See behind me?
Made the mistake one time. I wanted to introduce my brothers to mountain biking
because it is so amazing. Well, I knew they couldn't bike up because
they weren't in shape for it. So, I drove them to the top right up where I just,
you know, the coral there. And I introduced them to mountain biking by
taking him down rest trail when I'm on right now. Well, let's just say my plan
backfired. I was hoping that they would see the virtue and joy of mountain
biking. But instead they saw the torture and the pain and injury. Alright, here
oh yeah. My brother Brent and his bike isn't very well balanced for him. Or for
anyone. It's just a real off-balance bike. And so, I take turns even just taking a
switchback turn going slow. It's just really awkward. And he he biffed it and
got mad and was cussing. So, yeah. After he got to the bottom, he went
back up and sat in the car. And when we got to the bottom, I biked back up and
got him in the car and then my brother Justin,
he took it slow but he made it down. Alright, so we got some sweet, sweet
jumps coming up. That was the jump but that wasn't the big
ones. This parts a new addition. They just added it within the last few years.
Here's one. Oh, yeah.
Here's another one. Oh yeah. Oh, I love it.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. At the end of the jumps in this part. Took me awhile before I was brave and
then to ride the jumps. Going back to the conversation of 1 channel versus
2 or more. It's like thinking about... Well, both options give me stress because
I just wanted to succeed and I don't want 1 type of video to make another
type of video suffer. I want the whole channel of both channels all the
videos to do well. But the thought of combining them and just doing what I
want, creating the content that I want, I can just create whatever videos I want.
Whether mountain biking or if I get into paramotor one day. There's the
channel I follow - -Tucker Gott. Oh, here's the jump. Oh, right here, right here.
Oh, yeah. Another one. I chickened out on that one. There's a couple more jumps
coming up here.
Okay, here's one.
So, but... Like, I'll go a few days decided. Alright, I'm going to do 2 separate
channels. I see a big part of making this decision of whether or not to do 1 or
2 channels is studying other successful channels. What do they do?
And I haven't found one good example of a channel that's... I guess Casey Neistat
is the exception. Casey Neistat can make a video about
whatever he wants. He can travel, he can sit in the studio and just talk. He can
do unboxings, he can go on a snowboarding to New York City adventure. And I guess
that's what I really want. Obviously, a lot of vloggers imitate his style and
there's a lot of his style that I've certainly adapted and incorporated into
my videos. He does a good job. But most other successful YouTubers will have
their main channel and then they'll have their behind-the-scenes channel or their
secondary channel or their... They'll have their personal one and then their
business one.
The other disadvantage of combining multiple video types on one channel
especially early on, if I haven't been doing it before, is the audience that
I've been building isn't expecting the new type of video. And you can get
complaints and you can get unsubscribes.
I love this this has got to be one of the greatest trails on the planet. Literally
like, I haven't been all over the world but I've been to some of the trails that
are rated to the best in the world like Slick rock and this one is just such
a riot. Okay, so this is actually where we crossed over. So, the trail we're riding
over is Canyon Hollow. We're getting close to where he started but we're
going to continue down rush.
You're watching this video and you've seen what channel I've put it on. I don't
even know at this point. I'm leaning towards Nate Woodbury at this moment.
Keeping it on one channel. But I was pretty sure yesterday that it's going to be
two separate channels. So, let me know, did I make the right decision? Please give it
a thumbs up and comment below. I'm excited to have you join me on this
journey of creating this channel. I'll see you tomorrow.
