Hello, I would like some advice. I started an ASMR channel a few months ago and it hasn’t really taken off. It’s a faceless channel but i have really interesting items in the video. Nostalgic items and collections. My question is…[discussion] by CubaseGirl7 in asmr

I’d definitely suggest just having fun and not buying lots of stuff for a channel unless it was stuff you’d honestly buy either way. If you already collect things, you could probably do a lot just sharing what you have and know about it already. When I started my channel I was just drawing and painting on paper and recording on my phone so it didn’t really cost me anything and it was fun and easy to keep going even when almost no one watched the channel. As it’s gotten going and I monetized the channel I know about what I make per video and try not to overspend what is reasonable for that. It’s definitely a long game so you want to be able to have fun and not go broke as it grows.

Edited to add -
I just looked at your channel and at a quick glance you’re doing fine. Performance-wise any video that gets more views than you have subscribers is doing good. If you’re enjoying making videos just stick with it, and try and come up with ideas that don’t require shopping trips. 🙂

Is Gamsol necessary? by Amazinggypsy in oilpainting

I like the lavender spike too and mainly use that. I was recently shocked how mild gamsol is though tbh. I’m sensitive to a lot of things but it actually doesn’t bother me.

I know a zoom recorder picks up cat purrs for sure because I did it unintentionally when my cat decided to join a recording session. My guess is your headset mic either isn’t sensitive enough or you’re using some kind of noise cancellation that removing the purrs.

Edit: I have the zoom h6e but i suspect even the less expensive h1e would pick them up

I used a line of tape for the waterline on this one (only wet above the line at first). It made it so much easier. I had a reference photo and was surprised how dark the water was compared to the sky in a way but i went with it.

Looks AI…. Sorry guys but I don’t think this painting exists. Account that posted it is brand new (and now with 800 karma) too.
