How should I title these podcast episodes?

Gotta put my podcast on YouTube

Film myself answering questions and reacting to community

Serves as a form of education

Title and thumbnail need to focus in on one topic tho



Would drive me crazy to not put it on the main channel tho. I’ve watched videos with just people talking tho. As long as the hook is interesting and they deliver the answer I watch



I feel the need for more dialog between you and I



What feedback do you have on the podcast in general? Should I accept feedback in the form of voicemails? Would comments on YouTube work well for feedback?



Should I spend time making educational content?



I feel like mini tutorials on TikTok would work well. Basically break a full workshop into small chapters. Answer questions that people might Google.



People still think I’m shooting iPhone only



Tired of getting every kind of feedback on my work… talk less, talk more, more social, stop including friends, more vlogs, don’t vlog



Wish I had fellow creators to talk through my problems and projects. Most of the creators that I call friends don’t really reciprocate my attempts to connect.



Need help finding interesting places to go and hike



Doing sponsorship differently.

Trying to negotiate with better brands on larger campaigns. Basically trying harder.

Have cancelled the last few integrations



Where should I hike in 2024?

Also kinda don’t want to ask

I always seem to question how important community and feedback actually is.



Should I be putting podcast episodes on YouTube?



YouTube shorts becoming more important

What shorts can I make on a trip?



General feelings of loneliness and sadness



Researched Sam Sulek’s channel



Hotel in Nepal



Build a website to gather interest in group hiking trips

My own hikes as well as selling other people's hikes



Silent hiking in New Zealand

New Zealand vlog

Hiking Drone montage video

Favorite hikes tier list

Family blog baby announcement



There is so much that I could do and make great money from but I just don’t care

Low incentives

Sponsorships

Merch

Video ideas 



Why has this changed over time?

I don’t care what people think 



Go on the trip and make the big video just to get the perfect clip

Everything is for making clips because that's where discoverablity is

Value in the form of user acquisition

Doesn't make money



Posting audio only to spotify

Creating a new YouTube channel for Podcast videos

Just posting podcast videos to my channel but don't call them podcast episodes



Upload full horizontal videos to tiktok



Factorio Space exploration video on gaming channel



Podcast that speaks directly to the audience. Private phone call

Ambient drone footage



Taking down the 10 hour comp video 



Really want to start a new YouTube channel for long form silent bakery videos



What shorts did editor send and I not upload



Something about Julien2 makes me still interested in trying it out



Why do I feel so unfulfilled?

I need help

I need collaboration

I need someone to bounce ideas off



Need to keep a list of videos to make

Thumbnail and title grid



Maybe I should just vlog on IG stories again

Pewdiepie’s japan vlogs makes me want to make my own version of “home movies”
