Gonna start playing a bit of catch up when it comes to posting about these videos. I'm almost a month behind!
As always I'll be dropping votes for people in the comments who either subscribe to my channel, like my videos on YouTube, comment on them or all three. Just let me know in the comments to this post if you did any of those!
Windswept Harbor - Lost Light Loot Guide
Behind the scenes
I remember I was so unmotivated to start making this video. Not because I didn't want to make it but because the map I'm focusing on in the video is so big. There's a ton of locations to analyze and go through as well as a ton of locked rooms which all deserve to be mentioned in the video. It took me around 8 hours to get all the data and footage for the video and I spent around 2 hours editing it. Quite some work!
It's a video that has done good on my channel although compared to my other loot guides it's actually the one performing the worst. I've still gained 20 subscribers from it and almost 2500 views so I'm not saying it's BAD. Just not as good as the rest. It is however still getting views so it's not dead in the water at all.
What's nice about making these videos though is that I'm pretty much an expert at all of the maps now. I know where everything is and it helps me perform better during my own matches. I know where the good loot is and what locations are a waste of time. It's a double payoff for me.
I'm also ever closing in on the goals for monetization. I'm at 864 subscribers right now so less than 150 to go and I'll be there. I'm still growing every day so at this point it's mostly just about waiting it out. I'm still gonna be producing videos to help speed up the process whenever I can. I don't want to make videos just to make videos but rather make them when I have something worthwhile to showoff. Currently it doesn't look like I'll run out of content to make anytime soon.
I'm also gonna try and do something new by taking a loot an unknown steam games. I'm currently playing and reviewing unknown survival games that has less than 100 reviews on Steam and plan to compile them in a "5 FREE Survival Games You've Never Heard Of" kind of video. I'm excited to see how videos like that will perform. If they do well I'm gonna do more of them while rotating through different genres.
