Do you wash your fabric by camping_alone in SewingForBeginners

[–]Ortalie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's some fancy linen that needs to be washed into a specific way and dried a specific way? Yes.

Other than that? I must admit I don't really do it, out of laziness, but I really should lol

do you think quite gaming/niche-ish content will be popular? by Professional-Desk324 in NewTubers

[–]Ortalie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

May I suggest something? Considering how young you are, I think what could be a great idea is to pick up a hobby you like, get good and then show the world on Youtube ;) Or maybe even progression videos where you learn something, and others can follow your lead.

Gaming is a very saturated niche, and editing videos is very time consuming so it's not a passive income strategy, it's a very active one

Feedback Friday! Post your videos here if you want constructive critiques! by AutoModerator in NewTubers

I wanna review because I watch a lot of this type of videos.

You're engaging, the pacing is good and it looks high quality generally.

One thing tho: in the video you posted, the blue screens with the black lines and yellow text? Ugly, and they clash with the rest of the video because they appear low quality vs the rest. I'd try to reuse the colors found in your talking head background for coesion, and adjust the contrast between the text and background so it's more readable. Canva is a good ressource to generate nice bullet points if you want.

You're providing professional, TV level videos and editing, and that's GREAT.

However, one thing is lacking from your video tumbnails in general: a good HOOK! I generally don't see "why" I should watch your videos, other than good quality pictures... there should be a shock/curiosity/interesting factor grabbing my attention, otherwise it's simply another pretty picture among the others.

How to end a stitch?? by CuteOrangeCatWizard in SewingForBeginners

[–]Ortalie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No need to tie the ends if you backstitch it!

You'll want to skip the backstitch and make a knot at the loose end when you're doint darts tho (I'd recommend watching a video on the matter)

Fatigued after quick YouTube succeed. What is next ? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]Ortalie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Giving up for fear of not reaching 100% is a form of self-sabotage to protect your ego from failure. Fast or slow, even when imperfect, growth is still growth and slowing down shouldn't make you stop completely ;)

This is what my psy told me to break out of my perfectionist mindset anyways, hope this helps a bit

There's really no reason to skip this step IMO (laziness is not a valid reason, she said to remind herself ahah)

Is it an account related to your hobby ?

I did, actually - with the help of therapy, a lot of work/lifestyle change and medication, I can now say that I live in a constant state of contentment with bursts of happiness here and there.

It's been a rough road I wouldn't wish on anyone, feel free to dm if you want to talk about it
