Creative Quest #19: 5x Subscribers in One Week?! & Overcoming Disappointment

Episode 19! We're back from a little weekend away and straight back to work to make sure we're not too far behind schedule with this mid-week episode!! So make a cup of tea, sit down and dive in! What do we have in store for you this week?

- We dive deeper into the YouTube advertising rabbit hole and come back with our best results so far! But what does this really mean for us moving forward? Does it make a difference?

- We talk about the importance of having a system and sticking to it with every client, whether it's a friend, an acquaintance or a friend of a friend - don't get caught out by crushing miscommunications and a total change of plans like Faranir just experienced!

- The importance of having a Plan B and being able to adapt in the face of that crushing defeat.

So what are you waiting for? Press Play and dig in!

If you're new here; we're Raven and Faranir and we are on a quest to break free from the 9-5 grind and live a more fulfilling life. This podcast is basically our progress journal. We can't give you all the answers on how to achieve your creative goals, as we haven't done it yet ourselves! We're still finding our feet, starting from the beginning and working our way up. Let us break down what kind of things we cover:

- Creating YouTube videos: how we record our streams and create videos from them - editing in Premiere Pro, creating thumbnails, monitoring analytics, etc.

- Streaming on Twitch: What kind of gear do you need to get started? How have we improved our streams over time? Monitoring growth through analytics, How to become a Twitch Affiliate and start making money and even better, how to become a Twitch Partner and make even more money! We're still working on that last one...

- Building a social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok: comparing results across each platform to see which ones can yield the best results as well as what impact paid advertising has through each one.

- Art and design: Raven creates all of our art assets herself; all the logos, title cards, intros, outros, thumbnails, etc. so we often dive into how important this is and what tools are available to help.

- Motivation and Encouragement: We often dig into motivational rants and encourage our listeners to pursue their passions in life and to not let anything hold them back. - We also dive into topics such as Photography, Audio Engineering, and general tech talk for platforms like OBS, Canva, Lightroom, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro.

Making this podcast keeps us on track and holds us to account: it pushes us to keep doing better and improving ourselves and our results, and our hope is that it will also help you in your own creative endeavours. We can show you what's working for us, and what absolutely does NOT work for us; so that you can spend your time and money on the things that will give you the most benefits.

If you have any questions about our work or processes, any requests for topics to cover in future episodes, or any feedback at all (good or bad! It all helps!), please don't hesitate to reach out! Email us at [email protected] and we'll get back to you. We'd love to hear from you! If you want to follow us on any other channels or socials, you'll find them all at the link below!
