I once saw a video by Ali Abdal mentioning that he had to make 77 videos first before his channel gained momentum with currently 4.67M subscribers. Nowadays I see that a lot of Youtubers do not need to make 77 videos but already have more than 10K views per video with at least a few K subscribers.

It makes sense considering the amount of engagement they are doing on their respective social media platforms. Consistency is The Key but Engagement opens the Door. The rest speaks for itself.

Looking into the type of videos that Malaysian Youtubers (the famous ones) like to make – they tend to give value in terms of knowledge or pure entertainment. Meaning, the Youtuber may choose to make a sick prank video or such but would still have people watching it out of pleasure. It doesn’t have to impart knowledge or wisdom – it just needs to entertain. Then there are food-related contents which I know are not my turf. There’s quite a handful of talking videos as well where the owner would review a car, a place, narrate a story or anything. That is interesting. The faceless videos are also making it around in the local scene. There are just so many niches one could choose to do.

I love silent vlogs but the ones lurking around are made by uni students – I find it quite difficult to relate. I am still exploring by clicking on these accounts hoping to find ones that I like. Perhaps something from a Malaysian homemaker. Although it is understandable and challenging to wear the hijab at all times.

In Episode 9 there is not much going on. I have deleted quite a few videos that I feel had no continuity to the clips I had at the time. But like all wise Youtubers say, keep shooting. Keep creating with the tools that you have.
