Welcome Terashell! Doesn't matter if you don't know anyone here, most of us are friendly and happy to help each other out. Be sure to have a look through the forums there are some good tips as well as lots of other creators who have set up their channels.

Good luck with your channel, are there any goals you would like to reach while being part of Freedom?

 

[JoyofGaming]

Well, maybe being able to actually make some money doing this. Figuring out which of my games to play, um... Mostly I just want to build the brand I guess? Figure out how to youtube I guess.

Welcome To Freedom!

Our dreams is what makes us go and do this thing or at least that's my motivation.; However , you got to put some more hardwork into your content to be able to do that , and i am talking about overall work of your channel starting with graphics [ Thumbnails , Logo , Banner ] those things are underestimated , but they are really important for your channel to reflect some good impression plus the thumbnails are searchable , so you might want to make them more appealing to click on . Another thing is commentary which is even more important element to keep people engaged , and in order to do that you must make it more exciting and energetic to pull people's attention! , and that includes your vlog which are really good , but can use energy and excitement

BEST OF LUCK TO YOU MAN! just be patient on this and work hard , and you'll get there , and remember that nothing comes easy! ;D

So my banner is crap then? I have no idea how to do thumbnails if I'm trying to put out daily content since I don't have access to high end photo editing software to do things with.

I wouldn't call it that , its just irrelevant to what you do , or its just not clear! , and you can actually get thumbnails or banners by asking someone to do them for you , but not the thumbnails i wouldn't recommend it!

 

[JoyofGaming]

therein lies the rub, I have no funding and the graphics revamps for partners look... really generic[DOUBLEPOST=1447875034][/DOUBLEPOST]

I just now realized that it doesn't have actual art just a random photo, hm, maybe I should use the generic revamping just for now.

Yeah you can do that until then , but really try to improve because that will get you somewhere

 

[JoyofGaming]

Well other than my energy level and figuring out how to do thumbnails (no idea...) what else do I need to improve? I'm a socially awkward anti-social nerd with severe anxiety

 

[HFOShow]

ITS OK! , that actually makes you unique , just don't look at the negative side of it , look at Markiplier , he is kind of a nerd , but he made it like its something special , and you can do this as well , so i guess just work on it , practice it , but don't memorize it , just be yourself , but your better self because i think that will develop your personality to something even better with time , and if you needed help with the software there are many ways to get them for free for you to improve your work in the future not just graphics wise , but also video wise , and by that i mean editing!

 

[JoyofGaming]

I have editing stuff, video and audio, but I'm not good with the graphics end of things.

 

[HFOShow]

Then you should learn doing it by maybe testing ideas , or even trying to get inspired by some YouTubers who are really good in this term! and also you may find some videos with some PSD templates that can help you figure out the concept of how to do some good graphics!

 

[JoyofGaming]

that would require decent photo editing software, alll I've got are a basic version of irfanview and a clip paint studio which is good for drawing but not so much text and stuff as far as I can figure, it can't properly load psds to edit text fields.

I'm also /really bad/ at trying to promote myself because it makes me feel like an asshole.

 

[HFOShow]

NO MAN! its ok everybody starts somewhere!, But i'll tell you what , you can actually find decent Editing software for free , you just have to type it in search , and i am sure you'll find those , so you're task is only to learn and develop that skill!

 

[JoyofGaming]

I don't even know what to type in to find what I'm looking for.

 

[HFOShow]

Try to find the software that you want to use like photoshop , and just search how to get it , most frequently you'll need torrent!

 

[JoyofGaming]

oh that's what you meant.
