How to become partner?

Video Content tips:
- Use good music in your videos which is not copyrighted (or for which you have
permission), contact people that make music and see if you can use it when you cross
promote eachother .
- Duration of the videos can vary but having them short can help a lot (2-3min), gameplay
videos can more easily be longer (8-15min).
- Don't use static frames when talking, make sure to always have something moving to
visually support what ur saying even if it's random gameplay.
- Be interactive and create a connection with your fanbase.
- Avoid pushing yourself in a corner in the long run by for example focusing on videos of
one specific game.
- Good audio is much more important than good visuals in your videos.
- We use Sony Vegas but all software works if you grow in it ,such as Adobe Premiere, Final
Cut. Even Windows Moviemaker is good enough for a lot of things.
- We use fraps for capturing the screen.
- Content based on what's going viral such as upcoming games can help a lot. Think of what
will be news and anticipate on that, if you tap into it at the right time with the right
titles, thumbnails and tags, u have a good shot.
- Be authentic, never push yourself in making content if you don't feel like it. Be
yourself and don't care about the jelly haters, it's a self-fulfilling cycle. This doesn't
mean that you shouldn't listen to the feedback of your audience. Being interactive with
your audience will help you lots in fine-tuning your content.
- Analyze your statistics.
- The camera we use is a Panasonic Lumix GH2 with Rode Videomic Pro.
The biggest tip:
- Having a strong goal or drive to do what you do, inspiring people to care and move
forward as a group is by far the most long term drive that will guarantee good content. If
it's money or fame you'll get pwned sooner or later as it gets saturated, this can't happen
when you do it for the right reasons.
