There is so much else that accounts for the success of your channel. Here's a list of things I appreciate about this channel and wish other KZfaqrs also practiced: - Your videos are carefully planned. You get straight to the topic, the introduction moves fast, and you are always on point; you never ramble nor do you ever seem at a loss about what to say any any given moment or how to transition to the next topic, from beginning to end. This kind of planning communicates respect for the viewer's time. - You never talk down to your audience. The explanations you offer are always clear and easy to follow, but they never compromise on technical accuracy or conceptual depth. Whenever I watch your videos I feel that I'm being treated as an intelligent person by another intelligent person who happens to know more than I do; I never feel underestimated. Too many travel channels make this mistake: they offer shallow descriptions of places and cultures, betraying the assumption that viewers cannot digest anything better. - Your videos have an implicit ethic that I admire. Your discussion of photography as a human activity and of the nonhuman environments we photograph always comes from a place of open-mindedness and regard for values that I, at least, share. You manage to talk about photography as a highly demanding hobby that can nonetheless be noncompetitive, and where effort to excel must be limited by boundaries such as our respect for birds and our enjoyment of the activity itself. - Finally, the good humor and modesty!

I was going to write something like this. But the best I can do is "what he said". This, in a large nutshell, is why I subscribed. I'm a beginner with an old D3300 and a couple of lenses and mostly take the "out of every 100 photos I might get a good one" approach. Simon's getting me down to 1 in maybe 75! :D

One of the best takeaways from every video you have posted is your outro of “I know you can do it”. Making any sort of content takes a lot of work and can be very disheartening when no one sees it. All of your amazing teaching really adds to that cherry on top. Love your work and channel!

To me, the most important thing above all is to JUST BE YOU! Countless people fail on KZfaq because they feel they need to become a "character." Not only do people often pick up on that very quickly, but you can only be "someone else" for so long before it takes a very negative emotional toll on you.

Great advice, and I am happy to see you are satisfied. Being a KZfaqr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of help from Fame- ster of course) will always pay off at the end.

Simon, love your channel and content but it’s easy for KZfaqrs who are doing well to tell other people they too can do well on YT. I have been making content for over 8 years in a niche subject and have barely cracked 50k subs. The reality is it’s not all roses and a much greater number of channels are going to remain in the shadows compared to the small amount that see great growth. Sorry that’s just my jaded rant. Keep up the good work, yours is the only photography channel I watch.

It would be nice if KZfaq would present more niche subjects, since we are often stuck in the bubble algorithms serve us. But for people who like to search and explore, KZfaq is a gold mine. My niche channel is for them, and also for me to enjoy in retirement by flexing and expanding my particular skill set. It’s great that Simon is spot on as usual, a joy to watch, and has not been buried in advertisements at this point.

As a longtime amateur photographer, I find your videos to be interesting and always informative. I think the biggest factors to your KZfaq success are how organized you are with your presentation, and how your genuine personality shines through. It's inspiring to see a fellow Nova Scotian doing so well. Your love for photography and teaching really show through your videos. Keep up the great work!

Other things about you that keep me coming back: You are authentic in that you don't try to be goofy or gimmicky, thinking that by trying to entertain me that I will stick around. Instead, it is your content that holds my interest. You have a great speaking voice, modulating your speech so we don't go to sleep, and you enunciate well so that your pronunciation doesn't get in the way of the message, and you are focused and positive in your delivery. I like that you don't ramble and get off topic. I only give myself so much time to watch KZfaq videos, so I really look at the play time. I appreciate all those and I think those are speaking skills that anyone can learn with practice.

Simon, SUCCES: Congrats with your KZfaq success (progression). I think your success comes from the fact that you are able to connect with your videos to starters and more experienced fotographers (full framers and APSC-ers) because your videos are educational in the way of subject and clear explanation and substatination (underpinning) and with a good start and closure. I also like the fact that you stay away from “doing brands”. STARTING: I started again with photography and videoing after retirement. I visited a lot of channels in order to learn from videos and find reliability; underpinning. Your videos besides mainly two other channels helped me to select my second camera (a6700 after second hand RX10 iii) and lens selection. 11mm f1.8; 16-55 f2.8; 56mm f1.4. Good standard zoom en fast lens at start and end of the range from de standard zoom. My long lens is still the RX10 (600mm on 1” sensor) and also did buy this week (I rented it last year with TC2.0) the very expensive 70-200 GM; now I can grow in time starting with a reach from 300 f2.8 later to 400 f4 and to 600 f5.6 with one lens by buying teleconverters. And later on perhaps the nice new sigma 500 (= 750 f5.6). Now it’s time to spend more time in being active with my cameras. SHORTS: I think shorts would (could) improve your channel for the purpose of: > showing your selection of nicest foto’s and videos > announcing your next long video. QUESTION ON GIMBAL HEAD: Now i am going to use my video head for bird photography. Could you make a video on the use of a gimbal head and the requirements for it. I came to the conclusion that “goedkoop is duurkoop” or explained in English a cheap buy turnes into a expensive buy. I already returned a not that cheap video gimbal and don’t wanna make a bad decision with a gimbal head. Greetings from the Netherlands.

I have no desire to do a KZfaq channel, but I sure enjoyed this video and found it very interesting. I watched your two shorts, and I thought they were short, sweet and educational! Everything you do is very educational while being enjoyable to watch - keep up the great work!

As a viewer - not a content creator, I have my own strategy when it comes to giving thumbs up. After watching a video of my favorite KZfaqr ( for example Simon d'Entremont ), I always give a thumbs up to mark which video I have already seen. If I've been busy over the last month and unfortunately haven't been able to watch last few videos, when the day of chill out will comes - one Saturday or Sunday I lay on the couch and watch the last few videos posted. Thanks to the thumbs up, I know which video I saw last ;)

This is a superb video, probably the best “how to” on how to do KZfaq I have ever seen. Congrats on your success, you have certainly earned it.

There is some great advice in there. As someone who has just 10 videos published, I think the best advice is just to be yourself. If people like you, they’ll keep watching.

Thanks for this great video. My KZfaq channel has experienced very slow growth over the past 4 years. I work full time, have 2 young kids and am studying part time. Also very slowly growing my photography business as a side hustle. There are some tips in here that I am aware of already but you've summarised in a very relatable way. I teach people how to maintain and repair a specific type of motorcycle and I review motorcycle related gear and gadgets. I'm going back to the drawing board and will put an action plan in place guided by your advice. Thanks for your great videos.

You are my favorite KZfaq resource for photography info because the material you present is the most relevant, accessible and practical, but I also have to put a word in for your intro music. Listening to it while your photos roll just makes me feel good.

Thanks for another useful video (a bit longer than usual). I follow your channel (and have watched all your videos) because: 1. They don't waste time with intros and outros (exactly like you mention) - they have the perfect length for my limited attention span 2. You delivery the right amount of experience and knowledge without being loud, aggressive, opinionated or wasteful with my time 3. You seem sympathetic 4. Your skill is obvious In short, my photography is improved drastically since watching your videos (I wish I had been able to view them 20 years ago). Again, thank you and I will be hopefully be put it in practice when we visit your neck of the woods at the end of the year :)

Great video Simon! Congratulations on your success, I have no doubt you'll hit the 1 million mark. I am an aspiring photographer and I came acrossed your channel by typing in "how to..." do something. Your explanations were very clear and easy to understand. I decided to browse through your other videos and literally found an answwer to just about every photography question I had. What really got me hooked is I asked you a question and you actually took the time to respond. Thats huge! You have helped me a great deal in my photography and I appreciate all that you do! I wish you continued success! Thank you!

I started watching your channel about 6 months ago and I think your videos are really well made with a lot of info I can learn from. I did run across one of your older videos and while it was well made it seemed like you were talking to the camera vs now as it feels like you are talking to the viewer. You definitely look more comfortable making videos now. Congratulations on your growth and success.

"Perfection is the enemy of good enough." I love that phrase. I have followed you since before your YT channel and your quick success is well deserved. Can't believe it's been two years already. I would say to include a "behind the scenes" video every now and then. Some of us like that kind of stuff.

As.a photography newbie- your site has been the best because you show us examples of exactly what you mean while you are explaining. you actually get technical and explain just enough of the science that backs up the art. But then you also explain what looks good to the eye. So all of t hose aspects are what I hope you will keep up on your channel!! Thanks Simon!

Simon: Maybe you could use shorts as visual aids to supplement your other education work? Side-by-side comparisons come to mind, maybe to show exposure differences, effects of editing differently, composition differences, etc...? Love your work by the way. I've learned a ton from you, much appreciated.
