I started a YouTube channel

[jenic]

Hi guys,

So, a bit of background, I recently decided to start making youtube videos. I did a couple of unboxing videos at the start of the year, they got a decent number of views and when lockdown began I decided to start making videos a bit more regularly, finally settling on one a week every Thursday.

At the moment I have a mix of cycling advice, reviews, unboxing and vlogging. I guess my angle is I'm an amateur roadie, a normal guy, and these are my experiences as a normal person (i.e. not a pro, or paid/sponsored presenter etc).

If anyone wants to check it out, I've got a couple of videos here you might like. I'm also incredibly open to feedback, comments, suggestions etc being new to all this. Of course any sub welcomed too! I've just finished filming a new video which will be uploaded this week, my first Zwift race, so something different again!

Thanks
Mike

What's the difference between a YT channel and just posting videos on YT? I have posted a handful of clips over the years and even have followers (I think) last time I looked. Does this mean I have a channel?

EDIT: Just checked and YT call it a channel and they are not followers but are called subscribers. Still waiting for their subscription fee to arrive......

Yep, your YT page that shows all the videos is your channel.

I’m afraid you’ve got a long wait

Nice work
You make the Yorkshire dales sound like the wild west think I need a ride out sound fun
Nice to know what you think of the CRG been eyeing one up since I 1st clocked it at launch day.

Thanks, I think that day was just a bit of a shock. I've spent so long recently riding either in the Yorkshire Wolds and Moors or empty roads in Spain, to go back to riding in such a busy place was an eye opener!

The CGR is a great bike, I've been riding it recently when the weather turned a little and it's a lot of fun!

Still making these, haven't been linking many to the forum as I don't want to spam (not too much anyway )

My latest effort
