Cheers for all the requests & ideas, gents!
FUNDAMENTALS
Lots of requests for fundamentals (
@Kvothe,
@Roundy,
@James D,
@Byron).
All right, I'll see about doing some fundamentals demo videos.
Need to think about the best way to organize that.
Also if I can make that look right while talking to a camera. e.g., trying to get the right facial expressions, etc.
Maybe I ought to try to do some man-on-the-street video and pull in a random girl to demo on. That could be a fun thing.
(the plan for now was just to do studio videos, since I've got the set up for it and can crank them out. But maybe we do something a little different once production's ramped up?)
IN-FIELD
Some requests for in-fields as well (
@Train,
@Kvothe,
@Mr STIF).
I'm not going to do it right away, but I won't rule out. It could be nice. I'd only want to do it with a cameraman though... I'm not terribly fond of those bodycam-only POV vids.
I think the thing for me is going to be how well the project does and how quickly it blows up. If we hit 10,000 premium subscribers and my videos are getting most of the views I will definitely get a camera guy and go do some in-field.
Ideally bringing along some model release forms to get girls signing off after the pickup closes so we can actually show their faces... those blurry face videos really detract from the whole thing IMO.
@Train,
I like that "day game in small cities" topic.
"Best cities" I must sadly beg off doing... after seeing what happened to some of Ricardus's favorite locations once guys shared them on RooshVForum. Once a places catches on online, men flood in to spam approach the girls there. And in a few years, the market imbalance has corrected, and your formerly good spot is now an average spot, or even an overfished one.
(this has been happening for years with cities that catch on in young guy / pickup circles, even before RooshVForum. It happened to Prague in the 1990s, Zagreb in the 2000-naughts, and Kiev I think sometime in the early 2010s)
Although maybe I could do a topic simply on "why I won't talk about my favorite spots to meet girls." Maybe throw in some simple advice on a few things to look for when scouting spots, so the guys who are really serious about it can discover the best spots for themselves a little more easily.
@Kvothe,
We've got demos of pre-opening in my Touch-a-Girl System, which is due out... probably early January.
If you're planning on picking that up, it should help visualize those for you.
As for adapted missionary... ha! Is that hard to visualize?
You know that was the original concept for One Date... just a bunch of end-to-end in-fields where you see Chase approach the girl, pick her up, take her on the date, bring her home, escalate, and shag in One Date.
I actually went through a whole mental debate about whether we show the shag, or just pan to curtains while you listen to sex noises. And if we show it, do we show the naughty bits or not? And if we do, just hers, or are you looking at Chase's dong as well?
Then once all was done, I'd have to do the "Candid Camera" thing on her in the afterglow and try to get her to sign a model release form, lol. ("Hey, that was great, btw, this is going to sound a little nutty, but we've actually been filming with hidden cameras the entire time. It's for a good cause, to help guys who need help getting girls understand how the process works. Can I get you to give me a green light on this? You'd be helping so many people")
Eventually we just decided to make One Date an interview with a few girls on set instead. More informative to viewers, and infinitely more practical to film.
@Teevster,
I would love to see a video on why you believe Subway sandwiches are "healthy"
lol
I mean, compare it to what I usually ate before Subway, and you would understand
@Roundy,
As far a content I’d love to see on there, anything with teevster, bacchus or Pablo would be really cool to see.
That will be at their discretion.
I'd be thrilled to have them as guests on my channel... or set them up with their own, if they want.
I don't know if any of them are comfortable having their faces out there. Or having a video channel.
If we can get the subscriber count up and guys are getting a solid payday from running their channels, it might become a more attractive option to them, though. So, we shall see.
@ZacAdam,
It is better having your own video site too if planning to monetize. Subscription model is the next thing for all business.
Yes.
It's a pain building the site and getting the storage to hold the videos and the bandwidth to deliver them.
So I'm not surprised more folks don't do it.
It's also just been easier to be on YouTube traditionally. Even if's not well monetized, you can build brand awareness, etc.
But now that there's the specter of being banned if you say or do the wrong thing, building anything there seems like a less and less attractive proposition, if you're in a risqué niche.
It's like this Oatmeal comic:
@Mr STIF,
Fast forward to 2016- I began watching lots of Tyler's videos, then, I understood how to apply the three seconds rule in reality...I learnt faster when I watched videos.
Interesting.
That makes sense, yeah.
First thing I did as soon as I discovered the pick up artist community was immediately go and book a bootcamp.
It's really hard for me to learn from books, articles, or videos. I just zone out. When I can see it in person though, it clicks. If I can see a guy do it, I can do it.
Sounds like it's probably similar for you. Except video works for you the way in-person works for me.
Another nice video would be: how women show signs of interest(IOI's).
Another one would be- calibration, being smooth and suave.
Those'd be other videos I'd need a gal to help me out on.
If I end up doing some man-on-the-street vids, I'll probably look for cute girls I can get to help out on these, and just tell them what to do. Plus ask them how they usually emote in XYZ situation with a guy ("All right, pretend I'm X. How're you going to look at me?").
I need to get a portable charger for my phone if I do that though. This thing burns through its battery in like 10 minutes of filming.
Infield videos of going direct in an approach.
Infield videos of going in-direct in an approach.
Sure.
If I start doing in-fields (e.g., if/when we cross that 10K subscriber mark), I'll make a note to do videos on those.
I like the idea of setting out to teach a specific thing through the in-field: "All right guys, today we're demonstrating screening. I'm going to approach some girls, and I'm going to screen them on various things. Here's what to look for during the interactions. We'll also highlight it in the video every time I screen, and I'll highlight for you how the girl reacts."
Again, we've gotta get the subscriber base up high enough, and the income high enough, to warrant the extra work these types of videos take (you're basically reserving an entire day to in-field if you're going to do it... in terms of the mental preparation, the setup, coordination with the sound guy, video guy, etc., travel to the spot, dead time while you're circling around looking for sufficiently cute girls to approach, time to run any instant dates you take girls out on or decompress after the session, etc.).
If we can get it where I want to get it to, though, I will do it
