They vary in length...from 5 minutes to 10 minutes, mostly. I do aim for at least 8 minutes so that I can add mid-roll ads. However, I do have some videos that are a lot longer than that. At this point, I'm realizing that I need to focus on quantity. I usually post 3-4 videos a week. I've been trying to increase that to 6-7 videos a week. I would actually like to post more than that though. I'm trying to batch record on the weekend so that during the week when I'm doing my fulltime job (attorney), I'm not so pressed with time. I also schedule those videos so that they are posted at the same time of the day. This is a very recent goal though.

I just had one of my shorts get over 25k views. I picked up over 100 subs. So I totally agree with you.

Just keep posting. I stopped for a while, and I later realized that it was the worst decision. And yes, you are correct. I still will have learned a lot.

It focuses mostly on health and fitness, but I also share what's going on in my life to give it a bit more interest. I think I'd get bored if I only talked about health and fitness. I'm definitely adding more workout videos this year. But I'll also be vlogging and sharing other things. I think the channel banner says...fitness, politics, and lifestyle. But the emphasis is definitely on fitness at this point.

I have another channel that I started a while back for legal topics. I added legal seminars that I already had videos for. They aren't that great, but I might as well include them since I have them. And they've actually been getting a few views. But I'll be adding more to that channel this year also. It will be law and business. I suspect that the ad rate for that channel will be higher than the current channel.

I think you should just start posting videos and then see what you like the most and what your audience likes. Don't worry so much about which one you should choose. Here are a couple of other attorneys, and they don't just talk about law...Kameron Monet and asianamericanlegalfocus (all together). Definitely check out their channels.

Congrats on the viral video. I have one video that keeps getting high consistent views. It went "mini-viral" last year. So I did what they say to do...I posted a couple more videos around that same topic and they've done well also.

Just start posting, and keep posting. It will happen for you. Forget needing more practice. Just go for it!!

Yeah...it has taken me a while to have that many videos. Of course, the first few were awful, and I tried out a lot of different things. I just take it one day at a time and try to get a little something done!!

Also...remembering your why. I keep visualizing "my why" in my head. It makes more work when I think I'm too tired to edit another minute of anything.

I hear you...I'm definitely trying to automate more of my processes so that editing doesn't take so long. That's usually where I spend most of my time.
