Nice Man
If you ever have time, I would appreciate a general channel review too
Also I really appreciate what you're doing for everyone! I really mean it, Thank you![]()
Hi Alvan,
I’ve enjoyed looking through your content today, and I’ve got some thoughts for you.
What I think is going well:
- You’ve got a good personality and presentation. I watched your oldest videos and compared them with your new ones, and I have to say that you’ve improved a lot. Some of that is that you’ve aged and are naturally better at stuff because you’re learning and gaining confidence, but some of that improvement has to do with practice and hard work. A lot of people have great ideas, insist on being the star of their own channel, but their delivery is bad. That’s a recipe for failure, but you have good ideas and you keep improving on the delivery. Your personal presentation is watchable, not mind-blowing yet, but you’re likable and you have a smooth delivery. I’m excited to see where you’re at a year from now.
- Your video ideas aren’t super elaborate, but they’re creative enough to allow you to riff and offer some ideas. I like that you’ve been doing seasonally-appropriate material lately, and I really like your Valentine’s Day video. It had some nice gentle digs at people who do the day wrong

- You’re willing to take some risks. The execution isn’t always there, but I like that you’re willing to play multiple rolls and sell out with your acting and editing for the sake of your point or your joke. The world has enough people talking about nothing into a camera on YouTube, and I appreciate that you’re trying some things to keep it lively.
- I like that your videos change setting. My channel is of such a nature that I’m sort of locked into a set for all my episodes, but you have flexibility and you take advantage of that. Nice job.
Areas where I see the most opportunities for improvement:
- I say this in most of my reviews and I’ll say it again. You’re the star of the channel and you need to make yourself look and sound as good as possible. Invest in a mic and lights (3 simple chicken coop lights will cost you $30 and hugely improve your production value), and make yourself come off better.
- You could use more brand continuity throughout your channel. Visitors won’t know what you do or what you’re going for as the channel exists right now. A best-of montage intro video might be a good fit for your channel. Before you put out another release, I’d make a fun, clear intro vid that captures your personality and the flavor of your channel.
- After that, I’d make banner art that also communicates those things.
- A new title might also help achieve this. Your current title (while it is useful because it’s your name) doesn’t do enough to distinguish you or cue your viewers as to what they're getting into.
- Where you’re going for scripted/story-telling at times, it might benefit you to bring in some friends to play some rolls. More people = more energy (another point where I need to dream up ways to improve as well).
- You have some audience engagement going, but there’s a lot of room for improvement. I’d consider hitting the Twitter circuit hard for a while to promote your stuff and build more involvement from your viewers. You could do some special edition videos in between your monthly big releases that might invite interaction you could respond to in your successive videos as well.
I think you’ve got some good stuff going, and with steady, continued improvement, you could find a more significant audience. You’re brave, engaging, and talented and that makes me think you can grow this channel and your quality if you value it and want to invest in it. In summary, you’re getting your feet wet and your initial offerings show promise – if this is something you want to succeed at long-term, I think you can.
Thanks for considering my remarks. I wish you only the best amigo.
Thanks,
Matt
