Great insight. Welcome back and congratulations on setting clear intention. Prioritizing the highest value activity that delivers the most benefit; this is agile - truly. Looking forward to what becomes of this upcoming 3 week sprint.
Hey Andrew, great video! I'm also a filmmaker and just getting started. Do you have any advice on how to connect with like-minded people? I feel like valuable connections only come as you grow on social media. Thus I struggle to find skilled filmmakers who are up to creating.
Thanks Nicolas. I took a look at the video on your page from 2020, there's some good stuff in there! I'm going to throw a lot of thoughts your way. Learning from others is super valuable, and collaboration does sharpen you -- but my hunch is that you need to put yourself out there, and produce/release at your current skill level first. Use each video you create to learn what needs to improve. Obsess over getting slightly better each video. People will eventually notice, and connections will form organically (even on social media.) Don't fixate on growth of followers, fixate on growth of your craft. I found that I wasn't doing this myself because I was a bit ashamed that I wasn't further along in my ability to create (look up The Gap by Ira Glass), but now that I'm putting more out there -- I'm learning at an incredible speed, and improving my skills faster than I ever have. The other thing to think about (that really helped me) is: 'How can I serve others' more than 'How can others serve me?' You'll find more opportunities to collaborate come through this posture. You'd also benefit from connecting and collaborating with people who are less skilled than you. Create small scope projects that are easy to execute (so that you can do more of them, and not get overwhelmed before they see the light of day.) I'm sure you also have non-filmmaking friends who'd love to be filmed for a small spec project you put together (think things that can be filmed in half a day or a day). The cost of this is just your/their time. You may already be doing all this! And if so, keep going and trust the process. As you develop yourself and learn how to generate value in the world, opportunities will come. I wish you the best in your journey!
@@andrewjohnipe Thanks a lot for putting that much effort into this message. I've grown a lot over the past years and my quality has improved massively. I will continue to learn and start to share content. That's new for me but I know it's necessary. Right now I'm overcompensating a little because I haven't been doing this the past years. I was looking for short cuts and people to connect with but as you say, it will come organically. Thanks a lot Andrew
Hey There, It's Borhan here! I'm a huge fan of your "Andrew Ipe" RU-vid channel. Your content is always top-notch, and I can see the passion and effort you pour into each video. I believe you have incredible potential to reach an even wider audience with a solid RU-vid strategy. I would love to schedule a short meeting with you to discuss how I can help you grow your channel faster. This is not a sales call, but an opportunity to share ideas and offer assistance. Let me know if you're interested, and we can find a convenient time to chat. Thanks for your time and for creating such amazing content. Keep up the fantastic work!
Bro I am your 75th subscriber, I loved your videos those are so good, I am also just starting my business, when we will become very big channel we will collab.
Thanks Adam! Honestly even 61 people subscribing is an honour :) Just got started about a month ago, so haven’t got the push from RU-vid to a bigger audience just yet!
Hey Andrew , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
