If you have a better or different setup, let me know what you use and what works best for you! Have you made a walk and talk video yet? Did you find it hard? I'd love to hear how you made out :-)

Thanks Rob, watched to the very end - and what i realise and got from this is that I'm not the only one who F***s up talking directly into camera without a script. Getting better the more i do, so thanks for being here, i like tour style, honesty and always keeping it real.

I’m in stitches that I’m crying watching the bloopers at the end. I can’t cope from the cuteness Peanut does when staring at you 😂❤ great video thank you for the tips!

@ChicagoRoofer 1 year ago

OK, I love the fact that you showed your thousand takes at the very end. Makes me realize I’m not the only one that does it.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Rob, the "walking series" has been really informative. I've enjoyed them all, and appreciate that you don't edit out the mistakes and you own them. Keeping it real.

@TheShadowsShadow 2 years ago

Great presentation style - authentic and articulate. I used to think I needed a better camera, mic, lights to get started.

I don’t - but now I realize a need a cute cat.

I like the bloopers 😂 but a great video. I’m a wedding content creator but I’m thinking to start talking videos on YouTube. I always think I have so much to talk about so I’m gonna do it.

Awww! We had a bluepoint Himalayan and she was so sweet. I sure miss her.

@Journey2Free 1 year ago

The bloopers though - 😊 Thank you for the transparency, this is freeing. I appreciate you for sharing, and now I’m going back to the beginning of this video to see how it began. 😂 I now know I'm not alone in my struggles. 😊 Blessed love. 🙏🏾

If I may add…. I learned the hard way that filming needs to happen in landscape not portrait! for YouTube That actually is why I stopped my first attempt at YouTube, I was also heavily trying to grow on Instagram at the time…. something had to give. haha We are starting a hobby farm and looking at documenting the journey and including life stories. Eggs & Acres… coming soon… with your help. I love how you aren’t super polished but still great quality while showing your humanness… This alone creates a beautiful connection between viewer and content creator. 😊

Always enjoy your videos Rob, thank you.

Rob I am a 30 years old women. Watching your videos make me so happy 😍. I am thinking of posting in my youtube channel soon and keep on constantly watching your videos

@TheWisdomClock 2 years ago

Hi Rob, great videos! I have been watching your videos and a few orhers for a while. I finally got the courage to start my youtube channel/ videos over a week now. I wanted to do this 10+ years ago. I was putting it off until now. I just wanted to drop a "hello and keep up the wonderful work!"

@Journey2Wellness 2 years ago

Fellow HRM'er here! You popped up on my home page today. I've watched a few of your videos and enjoy how you break everything down. I've been hot and cold with YouTube but it has always been something I've dreamed of making more consistent. This fall is my time to get down to it! Great job with building your channel and I've subscribed!

Love the bloopers! That's me, just worse :)

@JeffBrenda-v3h 2 months ago

Thanks Rob, for your honest down to earth approach. What i really like was your story on how you made 7-9 video's then took many months off to re - think. This walking outside is while filming is much of what we do .... Best of Success to you from "Great Life by Jeff and Brenda"

I am following your account for 2 weeks and I saw tens of your videos. I am addicted to your channel! 😊 I have a 10 year old channel about Montessori and I have just started a second one to register my YouTuber journey. I have to confess I am inspired on your channel and my 2 first videos were walking on a park near my house. Have a hug from Spain 🇪🇸

Hey Rob, one little advice for you, just put transparent phone case and you will see yourself on that case like on the mirror. It help to put yourself on center and always stay put.
