I’ve been having fun with videos on YouTube for years. The 300 Beer Weekend has been providing me with entertainment for years. But that’s not what it’s about. It’s about you.
The psychological thriller that has the dark corners of the internet buzzing, The Deeper Dark is available on Amazon now! If you like mind-bending page-turners, you'll love the story about a hero who comes home from the war to find his world has moved on without him and now he has a new war to fight as a corrupt network is threatening the only person he has left in his life...
For Apple Readers!
Trying to find a niche on YouTube is tough. There are all kinds of channels with everyone doing their own things. Some like to teach people different aspects of the internet. Some like to teach about different aspects of life. I love the one guy who makes videos of things young people can use like how to check the oil or put air in a tire. There are kids who don’t know how to do these things and these YouTube videos are there to teach them how.
Entertainment channels include celebrity gossip and everything from music to dance. Those are technically niche channels. But they’re so huge, it’s hard to think of them that way. Meanwhile, I’m just trying to make people laugh. So, I do it the best way that I can.
Recently, I came up with a new video style and it’s starting to work. It begins with a joke and because they come off the top of my dome every day, that’s the easy part. All I have to do at that part is figure out how to turn that joke into a video.
Finding the simplest footage works best. As long as it’s not too distracting, viewers will still be drawn to read the words.
Then, all it takes is finding the right music to go with it. Sometimes, the footage might be a little too distracting. But that’s okay. You can push play, and after that, you can push play again.
Some jokes are more like Dad Jokes, all corny and everything. That’s why it’s a good idea to give viewers something interesting to watch.
And sometimes, my jokes come from my own experiences. This actually happened to a friend of mine. When his security system was delivered at his front door, a porch pirate stole it. You can’t make that up!
But then, there are times when the joke lands on my lap. There’s nothing I can do but pass that footage around for everyone to get a laugh.
Check out the 300 Beer Weekend when you get a chance!
