I've had a really bad year starting up my YouTube channel, firstly we go into lock down and then i have huge engine issues that caused me to stop cruising meaning I couldn't make more vlogs to grow my channel, i've also had issues in other personal aspects of life so i'm hoping you can all try and be thoughtful of my situation over the last year! "the following vlog will be in two parts due to my current locations poor internet however I am in the process of fixing this! ?NEW VLOG ? Finally I can share part 1 of a new vlog with you! It's great to have finally found the time to do this since taking up a new job but here goes... don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!!! https://youtu.be/K3gNdZjlKro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post blackrose Posted November 1, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hello and welcome to the forum. In terms of the vlog no thanks. I'm not really interested in watching people with much less experience than myself telling me how to live on a boat or trying to tell me about taking their boat on various waterways. There seem to be lots of novice boaters/vloggers about and I'm assuming you're one of them. Apologies if you're not. I'm trying to be nice but on the other hand you seem to be advertising/selling something and I'm not interested. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be left to others who may well beat his dubious accolade as they are very experienced in it. I, a very experienced boater, did have a look and liked your more unusual approach with some waterway's history. More of that would be a refreshing change for us 'old hands'. Keep enjoying, you are obviously not someone who has taken to boating simply as a 'cheaper' way to have a roof over your head. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyG Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) I'm afraid OP has not been a regular poster on here or he would realise there is an anti vlog faction. I am not one of them, but to be honest this comes across as spamming. However, I had a look, and I fear you have a lot tolearn,Grasshopper. Withoutprofessional equipment and media training or natural communication skills your channel will drop in to obscurity, sorry, but it's just not good enough. ?

MrsM Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hi Martin. I see you have just joined - welcome to the forum. Hopefully you will find it useful and interesting. I certainly have as a newbie boater. There is a wealth of knowledge and experience here - there is not a lot these guys/gals don't know about all things boats and boating. A few hours spent browsing the threads will probably show you that YouTube vloggers are not always particularly well regarded, with a few noteable exceptions. Please don't take it personally and good luck with the new job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Richard10002 Posted November 1, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 I think if I was a vlogger, and wanted to draw traffic to my vlog, I would probably hang around here, making the odd helpful contribution, getting the lie of the land, (many miserable old curmudgeons, very set in their ways, who will give short shrift to a whippersnapper promoting a vlog), and proceeding accordingly. Nobody likes to be "sold" anything these days, particularly on internet forums, and some are very vocal in their rejection and discouragement - Question: "Could you be any ruder?", Answer: "Yes! What would it take?" In order to introduce my vlog, I would wait for an issue/problem that one of my vlogs might help with, and only at that point, refer to it. Do this enough times, in a helpful way, and maybe you catch a few subscribers. I might even refer to the timings of the bit that helps, so as not to take up too much of the potential viewers time. I follow a few vlogs on a variety of topics, but only found them because I was searching for help with an issue, and I only follow them because what I found was interesting, and presented in a way that I like. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ally Posted November 1, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Welcome, and good luck with the job, boat, and vlog, probably in that order, maybe boat first. The issue you will have is steaming in here, posting your vlog and request for subscriptions from the beginning. It gets backs up. Take a breath, browse the forum, learn who is experienced and who is looking for an argument (never let it be said!) Join in, learn, ask questions, contribute, become a part of the forum. Grow a thick skin. Ask for feedback perhaps, welcome the constructive. But mostly, chill a little and look to enjoy the forum. There is a bit of all sorts, the good, bad, and ugly, the constructive, and yes, the rude. All the best and welcome. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does it say that in the rules? Also, this thread is basically advertising. Does the OP have mod approval? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athy Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Welcome, Martin. I enjoyed watching your tour of Fradley junction. It's some years since Mrs. Athy and I took a boat up there, and your film brought back pleasant memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travels With Martin Posted November 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Well as I see I have had some lovely comments and some very small minded comments - I will not be taken back by the negative comments. With regards to the Floating Round Britain account , that belongs to Jack and we are still working on Episode 1 of that. We are not begging for subscribers just asking for people to have a look if they wish as it's FREE to do so and you never know, you might enjoy it? I have every intention of becoming a part of this forum and will not take any rudeness from other members. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
