We are so excited to have reached 1000 subscribers! It is amazing how much support this community has given us over the past 5 months. We wanted to share our excitement with you.
We also wanted to walk through how we've evolved along the way. What lessons did we learn as we created more videos. The biggest lesson of course was to engage with you, because you helped us gain the right perspective as content creators.
Our top lessons:
1) Focus on content and story telling, pretty images aren't enough to gain an audience.
2) Be willing to talk even if you are in the middle of a city with people around you.
3) Be consistent when posting, we started uploading 2 videos a week and that definitely paid off.
4) Spend some time learning the craft, good lights, equipment, editing, music can all pay off when creating content.
5) Be yourself and be willing to open up. Connecting to the viewer makes everything more compelling whatever the subject of the video might be.
5) Listen to the audience! You guys have great ideas about places to go and things to do, in our case it is your country so we like to use your knowledge as guides.
6) Engage with the camera as much as possible. We used to shoot a lot of b-roll and talked in between to keep some kind of flow. Now we talk and show us experiencing things as much as possible and b-roll just helps us transition to the next time we talk.
7) Include friends and other people to keep the videos fresh and interesting. We are lucky a ton of people have been willing to participate when possible, it has helped a lot with the story telling!
8) Don't be afraid to take some chances and try something new. Sometimes it won't work, but when you post 2 videos a week, it is okay for a video to flop. It is a chance to experiment and learn, so try new things!
Thank you again for all of the support so far. We can't wait to see where this takes us!
