250,000 views What if a video could ruin a channel? This is what happened to a YouTuber with 1,880 subscribers. Channel crisis on the verge of 'monetization'We reveal how to turn a rice cake poison into an opportunity for growth. Three Urgent Measures and Lessons LearnedLet's find out. (YouTuber in his 40s @traveljoong’s honest confession)

What are views to a YouTuber?

YouTube channels with just over 1,000 subscribers are looking for ways to increase their views. Among them are: Running Instagram along with YouTubeThis is how it works. We look forward to another algorithmic ride on the new platform.

But this This opportunity has made it clear that the two platforms have different characteristics.I found out. From now on, I will share my experience(?) in the hope that no one will make the same mistakes that a rookie YouTuber with just over 1,000 subscribers made.

1. YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels

I upload the videos uploaded to Shorts directly to Reels. It was a decision I made to promote one video on various channels. However, that was the channel's Using my wife's account, not the official Instagram accountI did it.

It was a hasty decision by a greedy YouTuber who didn't know the nature of Instagram well.

shorts

Shorts are a valuable tool for driving traffic to long-form videos. Because they reach a wider audience than long-form videos, they're ideal for promoting your channel to those unfamiliar with your channel or those who enjoy other genres.

The biggest purpose of shorts is to bring in long-form videos.So if you can get viewers to watch the shorts and come back to the channel home page because they're curious about the content or what channel it is, then you can consider that a huge success.

Reels

On the other hand, there are a few more barriers to moving Reels directly to YouTube, so no matter how many views Reels have, I don't think many people will go to the YouTube channel to look for them.

Most of the time, it's just to promote the existence of 'this kind of channel' to viewers on new platforms.

2. Reels video views skyrocket

Explosion of views

One day, as I was consistently uploading short videos to Reels, my Reels views exploded. 🎥 I'd never seen anything like it before. [250,000 views and 1,000 shares]Go watch the video that was uploaded.

What I wanted so badly The explosion reels(Nothing happens to the shorts)What happens in…

It would have been a little more effective if it had been released in YouTube long form and in shorts, but I think It's difficult to watch videos even after moving from Reels to YouTube.It seems to be.

malicious comments

The problem is that this explosive video would have been better if it had contained a beautiful and warm story about a family, but it was about a mother forcing her son to ride an amusement park ride, causing conflict.

A wife who forced her son to watch Reels started receiving a lot of hate comments. I was taken aback by the explosive number of views, but the level of hate gradually increased. His wife advised him to close the comments section after receiving criticism, and eventually made the reels video private.I turned it into .

The difference between shorts and reels

How much is the YouTube channel? Target audience is set at 30s to 40sIt is done. So From the parents' perspective rather than the son'sIf you saw this content on , Reels is the most used layer If you are in your teens or twenties, it is your son's position.There were a lot.

So, I guess that's why he felt so hard on his wife who seemed pushy(?). The level of comments was also colder and more crude in their criticism.I felt like there was a lot of this.

  • Reels user characteristics
    • The age range of the main users There is a very large distribution of people in their teens and twenties.(GOOD for channels targeting this layer)
    • To YouTube Very little content is consumed on the go
    • Compared to shorts Emotional comment responseThis much

3. How to deal with malicious comments

Reflecting the characteristics of family channels

We wanted our channel to realistically portray the conflicts, feelings, and relationships that arise when a family travels, but we felt we couldn't cover anything that could lead to excessive conflict or misunderstanding.

in future We focus on producing content that is warmer and allows you to feel the love of family.You should do it. (Please refrain from provocative editing!)

Running an Instagram account with an official account

Since the video was posted on a personal account, it was even more difficult to deal with the criticism and insults directed at me. Change your upload account to an official accountAnd we need to operate it so that we can attract more people to YouTube.

Future measures

I feel like I haven't fully understood the specifics of Instagram until now. This incident has given me a better understanding of its unique characteristics as a social networking service, and I need to develop ways to utilize it strategically.

If the video has become controversial, I thought it would be better to upload a video that can effectively resolve the issue rather than responding to each and every malicious comment or DM.

Even if a video on Reels gets 250,000 views, only about 10 people actually end up on YouTube. It would be a good idea to use Instagram as a more expansive platform for delivering news, rather than just reuploading shorts.

Go to the family travel channel 'Traveling'

In closing

I've tried to organize my thoughts after encountering a very difficult situation while using Instagram to promote my YouTube channel. I wish I had understood and mastered Instagram better, but I could have handled it more wisely.

But now, we must come to our senses and respond well to the situation ahead.

What if your relationship changed after traveling the world? A couple in their 40s shares their honest experience of traveling the world with their teenage son for seven months. They share the surprising changes family travel brought about and tips for improving their relationship.

Our 'last chance' to choose

 

My son, now in his final year of elementary school, is attending cram school, so I don't see him often. He's already in elementary school, and I'm worried about how much harder it will be to see him once he enters middle school. I brought up a trip we've been talking about for a long time.

In reality, as you get older, there comes a time when you want to travel but can't. Wouldn't it be better to make that choice now, while you're still a year younger? I think it was then that I started thinking about traveling.

'We travel You can choose 'This is your last chance!'

The middle school experience my son had so desperately wanted to experience was more fun than I could have imagined, and that's why I was even more sad about having to leave midway through the trip. The year we were given became a time to cultivate and prepare for travel.

When my son was getting used to the first semester of his first year of middle school, 🔎[We decided to take the secondary school qualification exam and put our plan into action]Go see the family's writings that moved to !

Moments that almost made the trip the worst😱

 

Travel is There are so many unpredictable incidents and accidents that happen. Isn't that why travel is so thrilling and exciting? Our family has had many truly thrilling moments.

I remember an incident where I took a bus instead of a taxi to get a deeper experience of the place I was traveling to, which almost resulted in a fight and the trip being interrupted, and an incident where I lost my bag containing my photography equipment and then found it again.

The most memorable thing is 🔎Airbnb accommodations in Kuala LumpurI was locked out of my room without a key card. If it had been a hotel, it would have been resolved quickly, but it was even more difficult because my phone, which I had been using to contact my Airbnb host, was also locked.

In large-scale Airbnb buildings, there is always an office that handles related work, so just in case If you experience any difficulties while using Airbnb, we recommend contacting the building directly.Do it.

Welcome to Ayung River

Since my first trip was to meet people from all over the world, I moved spontaneously, without any plans, without considering distance or location. However, For the second trip, I plan to plan a little more and visit wider areas.

Seeing my son's face every day, even if it would have been difficult to see him if I had lived an ordinary life in Korea, can sometimes cause problems, but we share many stories that no one would envy.

Travel changed us in many ways.

My son, who had previously struggled with unfamiliar foods from a different culture, has changed his perspective, and Mom has also experienced significant changes. Even I, who used to worry about what to do on my days off, have changed into someone who "has so much to do that it's overwhelming."

  • Known as "the crookedest street in the world" for its eight sharp turns and steep slopes, it's a symbolic sight, with cars and people slowly winding down the beautifully landscaped flower-lined path and brick-paved road.
  • This winding shape was originally designed to make it safer for both vehicles and pedestrians to navigate steep slopes (up to 27 degrees).
  • It's also a popular photo spot, and on a clear day, the top offers views of San Francisco Bay, the Bay Bridge, and even Coit Tower. Easily accessible by cable car, it's a popular tourist landmark.

5️⃣ Tipping culture

Tipping culture is deeply entrenched in the service industry in the United States, including San Francisco. Tipping is not just a choice, it is actually a courtesy and custom.It is considered to be.

  • Restaurants (where they serve you) typically tip between 15 and 201 TBP (pre-tax). However, some bills include tax, so be sure to check your receipt!
  • It is customary to pay hotel bellboys $1 to $2 per bag and housekeeping $2 to $5 per day.
  • Food delivery costs between $2 and $5, or between $10 and $15% of the total amount.

As electronic payments have become more common, some people complain of inconvenience when the tip option (15%, 20%, 25%) automatically appears on the screen when making a payment.

Especially in a place like San Francisco In large cities with high living costs, tipping rates and expectations tend to be higher than in other areas.no see.

1. From Hanoi to Sapa, why is train travel a good idea?

 

1) Disadvantages of sleeping trains

The distance from Hanoi to Sapa (Lao Cai Station) is about 300km.

It takes 4-5 hours to travel by bus, but there are no rest areas as well as in our country. Many people take the sleeper train, which takes 8 hours and allows them to arrive early the next morning.Do it.

  • If you sleep on the night train, you will arrive at dawn the next day.
  • Safer and more comfortable travel compared to sleeping buses

2) Reasons for recommending to family travelers

After experiencing the train journey to Sapa rather than the bus, I realized why this train journey is more suitable for families.

First of all, it felt like a real trip because we were able to use the 4-person VIP sleeping compartment with our family and chat about this and that until we fell asleep, as if we were on a picnic.

2) Things to keep in mind when choosing a seat (choosing 1st or 2nd floor)

Between a four-person sleeping cabin and a two-person sleeping cabin, the four-person VIP sleeping cabin is clearly the winner in terms of value. Is there any trip more romantic than a four-person sleeping cabin?

From my experience on the 30-hour Vietnam train ride from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, the Hanoi to Sapa train was more than twice as bumpy.

thus It is best to avoid choosing the second floor and use the first floor.(Especially if you toss and turn a lot while sleeping, it is safer to choose the first floor)

Although it is an old train, the interior has been remodeled with wood, so the lighting is bright throughout. The bathroom is also very clean compared to regular bathrooms in Vietnam.no see.

3) Night train experience and tips

  • Night train experience

There were three of us in my family, so we occupied three seats in a VIP cabin that could seat four. One person might or might not get on board, but it was a bit of a hit or miss, which added to the thrill.

I was so tired that I fell asleep quickly because the train departed at night and arrived at dawn. However, the train was quite long. many Because it was so shaky, it wasn't as easy to adapt as I thought.

  • Tips

If there are 4 members, you can reserve 1 seat, but if there are 3 members and you want to use the seats only among yourselves, it is better to reserve all 4 seats.

Since you'll arrive at 5:55 AM the next morning, you may need to wake up and leave immediately. Therefore, I recommend preparing your luggage in advance so you can leave immediately. It's not easy to pack your bags in the wee hours of the morning when you're not fully awake.

10 Essential Items for Traveling Abroad with Kids: Recommendations Based on Real-Life Reviews

로
바다-촬영중인-DJI-액션캠

My family, all ENFPs, were traveling the world with my teenage son. We planned a long-term trip without any preparation. However, once we started, we discovered many inconveniences. So today, I'll list the top 10 things to prepare in advance when traveling with children.

Traveling abroad with children

 

I feel like raising a child in Korea means preparing to be separated from them early on. It's become difficult to see my son since he started fifth grade.

After going from one academy to another, I'd find myself exhausted and wouldn't get home until after dinnertime. So, I always dreamed of traveling abroad with my child.

As I spent a lot of time living, sleeping, and talking with my child over the past seven months, I was able to share many memories.

I'm grateful that I'm able to share stories I wouldn't normally be able to share, and I often feel glad I went on this trip. I encourage you to take a trip abroad with your child before it's too late.

(👉Subscribe to my YouTube channel for videos of my teenage son and his world travels)

1. Multi-outlet

 

These days, travelers bring a variety of electronic devices with them. Even when traveling abroad, those working abroad often need to charge their laptops, cell phones, tablets, or camera batteries.

So, when traveling abroad, where voltages differ from ours, we often have to buy a new outlet. But these days, with the convenience of a single multi-outlet, you can travel anywhere in the world without worrying about voltage.

I use The AD300 can be used conveniently in all places including the US, Hawaii, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Australia.I did it.

  • Wherever you travel, you'll be ready with just one multi-adapter.
  • The size is just right, making it very convenient to carry around.
  • Fuse-replaceable multi-adapter is inconvenient (product for permanent use)

You can travel without worrying about voltage or fuse replacement.
Go see the AD300 multi-outlet

2. Cost-effective tablet PC

 

With children, it's incredibly convenient to have a tablet PC with you wherever you go. My son prepared for the high school equivalency exam through online lectures while traveling the world.

So, the tablet I chose was Xiaomi's Mi Pad model. I've always trusted and used Xiaomi products, so I heard about the Mi Pad by word of mouth and decided to give it a try.

Of course, it would have been better to buy an iPad instead of using an iPhone, I tried the Mi Pad and was once again amazed by its performance and value for money. It's a product without any flaws, so I highly recommend it.do.

  • If you're looking for a cost-effective tablet PC that doesn't require high specs, the Mi Pad series is a no-brainer.
  • More than enough performance for watching Netflix (movies), YouTube, and video lectures.
  • The design is clean and luxurious.

3. Portable battery

 

One thing you'll use more when you travel is your cell phone. Your phone battery will drain quickly because you need to check your flight ticket, catch a Grab, and look at the map while walking around. What you absolutely need in such situations is a portable battery.

As cell phone battery capacities increase, smaller batteries face limitations in charging, and a minimum of 20,000 mAh seems necessary. Digitally recording the remaining capacity accurately makes it convenient to use.

  • A portable battery is the next essential item after a cell phone.
  • A sturdy capacity of a reasonable size
  • Convenient because usage is recorded accurately

4. First aid kit

 

Traveling with children often requires this, especially when they have a severe headache or a sudden fever. While you can often find it at 7-Eleven stores throughout Southeast Asia, it's best to purchase it in advance, as it may be unavailable when absolutely necessary.

Since stomach aches often occur when food or water doesn't agree with your diet, it's a good idea to bring basic over-the-counter medications like antidiarrheals and digestive aids. I have high blood pressure, so I can get a prescription from the hospital in advance for up to six months. If you have a chronic condition, it's a good idea to check with your doctor in advance and prepare your medications.

  • It is essential to prepare cold medicine, headache medicine, digestive medicine, etc. in advance.
  • If you have medication that you take daily, consult with your doctor and you can receive up to 6 months' worth in advance.
  • No advance records so far, except in Australia

5. Action cam camera

 

I travel with my family, so I want to remember every moment. Start YouTube (traveling)I did. It's still a long way to go, but I'm so happy, excited, and joyful that the memories I made with my family will remain in the form of video.

When traveling with family or children, there are moments you want to capture, even if it's not necessarily on YouTube. For those moments, the easiest and simplest way to capture them is with an action camera. I use the DJI Osmo Action 4 for YouTube videos. The best specifications for recording without detailed operations while travelingBecause it has .

After carrying around an action cam for a few days, you'll realize the need for an external hard drive because the storage capacity will be quite large. An external HDD is not only a burden to carry around when traveling, but there's also the risk of losing all the files you've painstakingly shot. I recommend a lightweight and stable SSD external hard drive.do.

I've accumulated over five SSDs over the years, each one adding to my collection while traveling. But among them, there's one that's consistently reliable, lightweight, and something I use frequently. Today, I'd like to recommend the Samsung Electronics T5 SSD.

  • Compared to external HDDs, it is more expensive, but it is much more stable and faster.
  • It has a comfortable grip and is stable thanks to the shock-absorbing rubber pad.
  • It is not bulky, so it is easy to carry around when traveling.

7. Travel pillow

 

We tend to take travel pillows lightly, but a good travel pillow can be incredibly comfortable, especially on uncomfortable airplane seats. For children who are sensitive to external environments and pressure differences, preparing a comfortable travel pillow in advance will make boarding the plane much more comfortable.It is better to prepare it in advance.

8. Goggles and swimsuit

 

Especially if you frequently travel to Southeast Asia or to accommodations with swimming pools, you'll definitely want to pack children's swimsuits and goggles. While there are local stores like Decathlon where you can purchase sports equipment, it's often difficult to find the right one. We recommend purchasing in advance to ensure you choose the perfect fit for your child's tastes.do.

My son loves table tennis, so he carries a paddle and ball with him.

9. Tumbler

 

Tumblers are heavier than you might think, and while you might wonder if they're really necessary, they can be a bit of a burden to pack when traveling. However, considering the planet and the constant need to buy disposable cups and plastic, they're definitely a very useful item if you prepare in advance.

Providing a small tumbler that can be easily attached to children's suitcases or small bags can be a huge help in reducing disposable products.

10. Travel carrier

 

I've seen a lot of families giving their children electric carriers as gifts lately. Some people ask, "Why buy a heavy electric carrier when it can't even hold much?" But I feel like it's more about the children's playtime than the actual function of the carrier.

I also buy them for my children, who struggle to move around not only at the airport but also in large shopping malls. Having their own portable carrier, which can introduce them to the joys of travel, seems like a pretty good choice for them.
