Lone Wolf-
Are you planning to host races or just post your own races? I will list what I do as a viewer down below.. I think the video is good base to grow on if you are trying to post more videos.... Its a learning curve that everyone goes thru and grow...
You show the cars prior to race, you follow cars from start to finish and show the times.. For me I like those three things as a viewer.... Im not a host of races at this time... but your off to a good start... Your area looks to be pretty clean and cluuter free... people have talked many times about cleaning tracks..
How I pick my YT channels as a Watcher for HW, MB or JL racing....
Cameras/Editing - Does the host have camera/s that sllow them to shoot video where we can follow a race.. Is host steady enough when following cars to see them... Does the host edit videos getting the intro's, start, finish of races... Some folks starting out use a cell phone and were pretty shakey at start and now they are better as time goes on and nerves calm down.. maybe..
Music - If I know the channel has poor taste in music with (sweraing) is a turn off for me. I will watch 2 different videos they made and if it has that in the 2 videos I wont return as a follower for sure... Loud music where you cant hear the host call out- Turn off for me..
Host - Im there to watch the races even if the host is new or not comfortble on mic, if they run good races where I can see the start, follow cars during race and show times with call outs.. Im there.. I will say I watched a younger person on a channel that turned me off right away.. He had to be on someones account to make a video that young.. So mindless talk about other channels not about hotwheel racing, or the hobby we are in big turn off.. I like seeing host promoting other channels with racing, moding cars, paiting as long as it is the hobby... Staying on track with current race...
Some guys are really good in front of camera and some are not that is life. Some make it interesting when they mix it up with viewers live or give something cool about cars being raced but not my priority picking channels.
Track- I watched races where guys run in the hallways, dinning room, living room, garages even outside across the pond... They do great jobs and then there are some that dont do so well .... It is about the hobby and trying to give the best possible track to race on.. I do look to see if they are organized or is it a total kaos....
If you have scenary to make track nice.. Great.. If you do not Great... I want to see good ole racing between cars... Again I dont pick a channel because it looks great....
I try to support all the RLD channels with a sub & a like.... I do all race videos even if they are not RLD racers/hosts....
I just wanted to give you a quick tour of what goes thru my mind when I watch races... What brings me back and follow channels....
There are a ton of videos out there... Just keep asking questions and dont get discouraged we will never satisfy everyone in this hobby figure out what you want and do it the best you can the rest falls into place....
- Thank you for your in depth information and your time writing it. Much appreciated! — LONE_WOLF_RACING
I would say title your video at least,watch other channels to get some ideas.in my own personal experience I have a video which is a super Twin Mill and a normal twin mill and it keeps gaining views,around 25 a day.where others don't do much or they hit 500 and that's it.akso looking at other people's channels (I won't say who) they have a short Track but a few videos have over 10k views and I can't see why.just keep trying.goodluck
