Saturday 9th of April 2016, I see that a first-of-its-kind
tournament will take place the following Saturday in Helsinki
for the game I’ve been making videos about.
The first thing that goes through my mind: This would make
such great content. Casey Neistat and his back at the
airport videos are booming and I just can’t take my eyes off
them. This is my chance to try that vlog format.
I register on the waiting list instantly.
The confirmation comes in on Monday the 11th.
Within minutes I have my flight ticket and one night in an
Airbnb.
After that, doubts arise:
I have never shown face on camera but will be filmed at
the event. What to do? I could have decided to hide in a corner
and avoid all eye contact with the cameras.
Instead, I decided to go and dress up as the mascot of the
game: a King with a crown, cape, and mustache.
Results:
Cameras loved my look and moves. This gave me even more
content as I made a special cut of all the videos I could find
myself on.
👉 Turn worries into an opportunity.
Those videos from the event did ok in terms of views
compared to the rest of my content and it didn’t change
anything to my status or trajectory on Youtube.
But the memories I made that weekend were just incredible.
👉 Experience over video views.
Looking back, this moment became the best of my short
YouTuber career and I’m glad that I went all-in.
