How do you feel on the day when you have to get back home alone after a trip? Are you happy to see your family again? Do you feel sad because you wanted to stay some more days? Is it annoying you because you already think about the long time you will spend on the road and all the traffic? Or delayed trains or planes if you travel by these? Do you already think about going to work again? Do you feel lonely? Lost? Nervous?
For me the final moments are very special before I drive back after a trip no matter how long it was. It's a unique feeling which is very hard to explain because it's a mixture of all the ones I mentioned before. The feeling of being very sad and happy at the same time…
Missing the DTube train
In today's video I am also talking about two topics which were very hot in the last weeks within @dtubedaily. @captainbob, @harshilpatel, @jeffmcmullen and I guess some others were talking about how to up your DTube game.
I am very grateful for all the tips which you guys shared with us and of course it's great that we also talk about topics like these and that we share our knowledge because that's what real community support is about.
But I am right now facing a lot of pressure because another thing that we are talking about nearly every day is that more and more famous YouTubers are coming to DTube and that's why the quality level is getting higher and higher with every day.
@myndnow also gave me a lot of useful tips when I visited him in Berlin and he also showed me some professional vloggers on YouTube to get some inspiration because I didn't follow any vloggers on YouTube before.
At this point I wanted to thank you Winny for giving me a place to stay and for your generosity. And of course, for getting to know you as a person even better. Your funny and crazy way made me smile and laugh so much. We really had a good time together! I'm hoping we meet again very soon.
But to come back to the actual topic… seeing all those professionals and all of you guys improving every day puts a lot of pressure on me and I don't want to miss the DTube train. That's why I might try out some new techniques and styles to make my videos more interesting.
So, quality instead of quantity which means there might not be a video from me every day or every two days as the purpose of DTubeDaily has switched within the last weeks anyway from just a challenge about doing daily videos to an actual community.
I hope you enjoyed this video / article. If you did, make sure to upvote, follow and resteem. And what's most important…
…live your dream!

I just started on dtube as well , i wish a good luck to everybody
I wish you a lot of fun with the camera and also to become successful. I will check out some of your conent tomorrow. Thanks for your comment :)
Great job man! I love you drive and determination!
it is so sweet to see your reflections and I can really feel your sincerity in your words. And as long as you are sincere you should not worry about big Youtubers. But one thing has to be said - you don't throw the cigarette on the ground and leave it there!!! A huge NO NO! :D
I’m sorry @lostinhappiness. I’m always looking out for an ashtray and even walk if it’s far away but there was any... :(
I love your attitude! I started making videos around the same time as you (I'm on ep 25) but I have been feeling like maybe it isn't worth it if we are going to get buried by an influx of Youtubers! I think there is definitely money to be made on here, but I am not sure if it will ever be consistent enough to be a full time gig! Even if it feels like one sometimes! I think you will make a great vlogger though, and you are well on your way! And it looks like dtube caught notice of you as well! Awesome! Good luck on your journey!
Hey @bethwheatcraft! Thank you very much for your kind words. At the moment I don’t care that much about money as I see all of this as a process of learning. I’m more about the community itself and our DTubeDaily group. But it would be cool of course to be some day a full-time DTuber.
I definitely have to check out your videos as well! I also wish you good luck, a lot of fun and to become successful.
@bethwheatcraft the trick is to join/build a community of like-minded people and support each other. Nobody can stop you from supporting each other if you know what I mean.
That's true, and I know money isn't everything, but for me, time is money, so it is hard to justify the time I spend on Steemit if I am not making much, or get dropped by my bigger supporters because of Dtube transplants!
wonderful, I find your writeup very useful. I have not even watched the video but I think I appreciate what you have put forward. I love people who all show gratitude for information. Thanks sir.
Cool post friend

Try to give some value to this community instead of copy / pasting promotion links on random posts. Especially where you are pretending to enjoy other peoples content although you probably haven’t even watched it. The only ones who earn money with posts like these are the people who report it.
Thank you and have a nice day!
Brother, it was awesome having you in Berlin man!! I also learned a lot from you :)
Your vlogging style is changing up to the better! WOOOHOOO!!
Winny out...for now ;)
You're a better DTuber than any of these guys :D
I think this is your best video to date. I loved the beginning and the setup of the time in the car, then loved the closing out with the driving. You showed some great story telling in this sequence. Awesome job and I can see every video how you improve :)
Yes the game has been upped, but never forget people stick around for the person, but what they're creating. No matter what happens, never lose sight of who you are and what you WANT to create.
I'm glad DTube gave you some love on this video, because a lot more people need to see this!
Have a good one.
LiveYourDreamathon is complete for me now haha
Thanks for your kind words Kevin. And yeah, I guess I’m that kind of person who just regurarly needs to see that my work has an effect but of course you won’t get this everywhere. But it always gives me that huge motivation boost and I want to do this.
Thank you for watching all this stuff after your journey. I hope you enjoyed the “LiveYourDreamathon” haha :D
VERY GOOD JOB WITH THE STORY TELLING MAN. When you focus on storytelling, the video shots will come. You did a good job with that today, I felt like I was there while you were prepping to drive home.
Thank you! These were just some of my first experiments using some new techniques. I guess more will follow in my upcoming videos as I learned a lot in those few days. Now I’m trying to bring theory into practice.
Thoughtful post. So pressure can engage us to become better in creating content. I hope this will work out and quality will win. As you have seen on my latest post, I struggle with a feeling that quality gets more and more lost in quantity. Funny your post is somehow related to mine. On one hand we should trust that quality will win. On the other we need an environment where it can win? Am I losing my faith?
Don't loose your faith @brainnipper! I believe that if there's a place where quality content can win it's here. And this opinion hasn't changed at all within the last almost 6 weeks I'm now here.
It's always funny to see how many people in this community often share very similar feelings and doubts at the same time ;)
^^ You are right. And how should it win, when those who believe in it leave? Steem on! :-)
Don't worry man! All is going to be well! Jus keep doing what you are doing!
And YouTubers comming to this platform is great news, which means that Steem will be stronger than ever!
Cheers!
And have a great day!
p.s. If you want to up your game, feel free to ask anything! I know a thing or two!
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I still have to check out some of your videos and if I need help with some techniques I'm glad that I have somebody to ask :)

There's a lot of big creators moving over, but there's only one of you. Just because they already have a large audience doesn't mean people will only watch their videos and not yours. I watch Casey and Peter religiously. But that doesn't mean there's no need for Matthias. You have a unique style and personality and the more you put that out there the more people will find your content and look forward to your next post. The quality tips are just in case you were wondering how to make your videos look a little nicer, but you don't need any of that. Casey still films with a cellphone all the time. People don't watch for the video quality, I could film an 8k video of a fence with a $50,000 camera and no one would watch it. All that matters is the story, I watch your videos because I appreciate your sincerity and I love your outlook on life. Just keep telling your story, keep talking about things that you're passionate about. And you'll have a first class ticket on the DTube train.
Thanks a lot for the kind words @jeffmcmullen. I do appreciate them and they gave me some more motivation. You’re right that at first it’s all about the message and to be authentic. Everything else comes later.
You dont have to worry. Just be you. A lot of huge and famous youtubers have been doing shitty quality content for years and they are still in the game. You dont need to be a video master... or have the best quality image and sound to keep up. So dont worry and do your own path. :)
I know exactly the feeling you are taking about here, right before you come home, and the trip back always seems twice as long! I suppose it’s because your mind is always preoccupied with the anticipation before a meeting or visit! Your quality is improving so fast, and I don’t think you have anything at all to worry about, it’s mrociating me to keep pushing on personal improvement as well!
Yeah, I always thought this was a feeling which will disappear slowly when getting used to travel more and more but it doesn’t.
Thank you for the compliment, Tim. Yeah, keep pushing that’s exactly what I’m aiming for every day.
your video is not playing... @liveyourdream Way? My videos stopped to play after 3 days, do you know way? Thanks for your replay...
Unfortunately, the videos aren't available anymore after a few weeks. The ones with very low upvotes even earlier... I'm very sorry :(
Thanks for your comment!
