Looks like a good operation you've got very jealous!

 

I know you didn't ask for constructive criticism but just tried to watch your firewood seasoning tips vid, I know there's various benefits in making videos 10-15 mins long but I got bored after 5 minutes, maybe try and condense them down a bit and make them shorter and punchier to hold the millennials with weak attention spans such as myself, too many YouTube channels seem to be fluffing out their videos with filler to get the length but I'm sure it must have an adverse effect on viewing time in the long run.

You're absolutely right. viewer retention is a factor. I'm not an actor, cameraman, video editor or youtube content amateur, but I just started just over a month ago and I'm diving deep into the learning curve. I'm also competing with smartphone viewing where attention span is less the people viewing on PCs or laptops. I'm a better writer than public speaker and I'm doing this all unscripted, just by memory and experience. I will be redoing some of my videos as well when I pick up more skills. Kinda been rushing out material too, which is not good, but gotta start somewhere. My friend is a pro youtuber and he's bouncing out of his chair in reaction to what I've started and its potential. Almost 40 videos, 2500 views 120 viewed hours in less than 6 weeks. Thanks for your input, it's fueling the fire of improvement

So I learned the editing process, quite simple so my previous material is more condensed. Im having a hard time creating 10 to 12 minute videos, which is ideal length for the platform and making it like a TV show is the typical working format. Thanks for watching and more to come. I plan on purchasing a couple Jauregi Basque axes and doing a video on those with professional help from a friend.
