(light piano music) 2 2
-: Q and A videos, behind-the-scenes videos, 3 3
and mail time videos are kind of the go-to video type 4 4
for people who don't have time 5 5
to make their regular type of video. 6 6
(laughs) 7 7
They tend to get fewer views, so some YouTubers 8 8
like to put that type of stuff on a secondary channel 9 9
instead of their main channel. 10 10
Kind of as a bonus for like super fans. 11 11
Very few can pull off those videos well 12 12
on their main channel. 13 13
Some do it very well, but I'm personally not one of them. 14 14
(laughs) 15 15
If your channel is still small, 16 16
I don't suggest any of these concepts, 17 17
because one, you probably aren't getting any mail anyway. 18 18
(laughs) 19 19
And two, not enough people are going to be curious 20 20
about your behind-the-scenes life or personal life 21 21
to support an audience for like a Q and A video. 22 22
So, these are for later when 23 23
there is a significant demand for them. 24 24
I did a mail time video when I hit 100,000 subscribers 25 25
and (musical letdown) crickets. 26 26
(laughs) 27 27
Some can be entertaining actually, 28 28
like some of these types of videos can be entertaining 29 29
if they're made to be entertaining, but you definitely need 30 30
to spice it up with some comedy and the ones I see 31 31
that do really well have a significant amount editing 32 32
to them as well. 33 33
So, it definitely requires some effort to make them work.
