Channel Trailer - Review Channel

[Super Pawsitive]

Alright! So I've been having a dilemma since starting my channel. I want to create a channel trailer and a fan finder video for my channel so I can both get people to hopefully subscribe, but get a wider range in terms of audience through fan finder. (If you do not have adblock enabled, you'd see that fan finder vids do play every once in a blue moon.)

I've had a couple of ideas as to begin with, though for the moment I can't really say any of them sound generally appealing or good.

Ideas:
- Reviewing my Channel Joke (I review my own channel, explain why it's good in a funny way)
- Short vlog (It's a vlog. What more can I say?)
- Pick a theme challenge.

So I do need to explain the "Pick a Theme" challenge.

Basically I participated in a contest a while back to gain more exposure to my old channel. The "Pick a Theme" challenge consisted of someone picking a theme for me and having to stick as close to the theme as possible without straying away from it.

So my thoughts are to "Pick a Theme" with my channel trailer and try not to stray from it while still giving my video a taste of what it's like to watch my content.

This is probably the best option I have so far.

What are your thoughts? Any ideas/opinions? I'm open to anything.

If you watched a short vlog, or someone reviewing their own channel, would you subscribe within 5 seconds or be interested to watch more? The way its described, I likely wouldn't, and this means you more than likely will be skipped and they won't convert.

For the Pick a Theme thing, it sounds like a cool challenge, but I wouldn't say its a good trailer choice. Make a trailer that showcases the best parts of your channel in a concise, clear, and awesome manner that will make people convert and subscribe. Close them in the first 5 seconds so they don't skip, then leave more details that keep them wanting more until they've watched it all. Finally, remember these shouldn't be much longer than 60 seconds.

Well I wasn't planning on making it more than a minute long. The pick a theme option is my most preferred at the momnt. Purely because it helps me keep focus on a geneal idea.

So the main focus is to hook my viewer. Though that's not enough detailed info as to HOW I'm going to hook them. That is when I shall pick my theme. The theme should help the video stay on track to the overall message I would like to deliver.

I would likely make it revolve around my general direction for my channel. Something relating to my overall motive and drive to help the viewer connect to what I strive to achieve on my channel.

I personally believe it will help much more if I can connect with the viewer/appeal to emotion.

That's why I think its the best way to go about it.

Plus, what would I make? A montage of me reviewing games? Something tells me that won't work out so well.
