If you want to talk shop about cameras, KZfaq, career development… send me an email (listed in description) to set up a consultation call. $125/hr to deep dive your personal situation. I don’t have all the answers and cannot guarantee work but I can share what has worked for me and my peers, what to avoid and the small steps I take daily.

As you mentioned 'sharing not preaching' is so key to keeping my attention. I've watched my fair share of youtube and the only channels that keep me coming back are those that are there to share knowledge but not tell me what to do. I've seen too many people move from an enthusiastic professional to a sales person telling me what to do that it's a little disheartening.

Digging the podcast idea, that can also add another stream of revenue to what you already have been getting with AdSense and affiliate payouts. A silly idea for a title that is a play on your name: More Depth of Field, or just Depth of Morefield 😊 But seriously, I’ve seen a lot of people turn their Vlogs or audio from their videos into a podcast and just upload it on those podcast platforms, you could try doing that before getting down into something more structured and traditional for a podcast. Or you could even turn your meet ups into an opportunity for a Podcast style discussion or panel for folks there, possibly even the ones that help you set up the meet up in other cities. I’m down to give this a try and either Texas or NYC. Just let me know!

Love the transparency brother. Getting into KZfaq hasn’t been about the money for me yet. Just about staying visible and building community with likeminded people. Especially since most of the jobs I’m on aren’t my projects. I should investigate diversification in the streams with affiliates. Finding the style of video I like AND the algorithm likes has been difficult. Maybe I’ll try more casual like this next! Keep it up brother.

Man I really enjoyed this setup and it didn’t require the whole podcast gear/setup/time that long form usually has. Just a rant straight to camera, edited in CapCut.

@nkmohamed 3 ай бұрын
Nice! I was on the fence about The Art of Documentary and I was a recent subscriber of yours and when they opened up and when you talked about it, I signed up with your code. Congrats on the payout, well deserved. I completely missed the SF meetup you had (subscribed as you posted the video). If you're comfortable teaching, go for it. I prefer to learn versus teach in terms of digital products. Maybe something low risk like LUTS or mattes would be something I'd do. I'd love to prototype some things on a 3D printer for physical projects since there are a few items, like Caleb, I need. Unfortunately, the multiple sources of income is the new path for the video production industry--you are the product, which for introverts can be distressing but gets you out your comfort zone. I'm looking forward to your progression!
@davidmorefield 3 ай бұрын
I am an introvert as well and I think it actually translates really well to KZfaq bc it’s just me and the camera. Much more extroverted when I hold a filmmaker meetup and there are 30 strangers wanting to have a convo. It feels much more chill when I’m just talking to my phone haha. But I like both!

Thanks for sharing David, I enjoy watching your videos. It's encouraging me to start vlogging my production work.

Great info. I've come to realize many of the same things, though unfortunately (?) it was well AFTER I had already created a youtube channel with 100k+ subscribers. I had literally spent ALL my time/resources just chasing after that subscriber count, and then all of a sudden I had exceeded it and... nothing really changed. I still didn't have a proper income. I was definitely making money off sponsors, but the pay wasn't nearly good enough to become a sustainable business model. That's when I had to completely re-evaluate my approach and I realized I didn't have any kind of product to sell to people, so I was making pennies on the dollar advertising someone else's product. I'm working to correct that now, but it's a huge effort to completely restructure how I approach the channel and I really wish I had known all this when I was just starting out. It's great to see you putting yourself out there and sharing all this with your audience! It will help so many people, as well as yourself. 🤙🤙
