hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room welcome back to another one of my vlogs here today we're celebrating a hundred and ninety thousand followers on YouTube holy cow this is getting ridiculous and I'm excited every one of these vlogs is because it's always always you guys always beat my expectations I don't know who the hell's watching my videos but thank you very much I'm seriously it's humbling I'm so grateful that this is happening it's growing much faster than I ever anticipated I know I said and every one of my videos but it's like the numbers or something it's camp out and you guys are coming out of the woodwork so thank you very much I got a special treat for you guys at the two hundred thousand subs whenever that's coming so look out for that but today we're doing a very quick Q&A I posted it on my social media you guys asked me questions I'm gonna do a very quick quick firing session I'm gonna answer as many questions as I can for you guys but today I'm at the park here if you guys been following you guys know I'd go to this park religiously and the reason being is because today I'm testing out the Fitbit charge - the reason why comes here one of two reasons there's this loop here that I run and it's exactly a mile so I can ensure if these bands are accurate or not second this is probably on the more friendlier parks the other part that I usually go to or sometimes go to not anymore every time I go there they always call the cops on me for some odd reason and the officers are really nice but they always come up to me and say hey someone called them said your you have a camera and you're out taking photos and stuff like that and I'm wondering you know what's wrong I stay away from the kids and everything but you know I understand you know people are concerned that and that other Park is no more much more residential area this is right in the city so hopefully YouTube and the digital era is a little bit more I accepted here some behind-the-scenes stuff here with Jim's review last week I did not post any videos it's probably the first time I ever did that and maybe a year and a half or so I don't know but um I I was still working don't get me wrong and also you know someone it wasn't as grueling because I didn't have to do any fear recording and video editing um last we got this worked just trying to contact as many brands that I could just try to see if I can get some few units i pre-ordered a bunch of stuff here but this is probably the most organized yet the most exhausting most filled jam-packed fall season and I'm not complaining at all I'm excited for it I hope you guys are excited about it as well there's just so many products so many tests so many gadgets they're gonna be on the channel pretty soon here and I have everything filled pride from today all the way till Midway of December so it's gonna be back-to-back guys hope you guys are excited about that button that I'm still trying to work on the second business some behind the scenes stuff it's still very early so I can't disclose too much yet I don't know if it's gonna happen or not but follow me at Jimmy long official I'm there I do post some banishing stuff some motivational stuff some you know other content besides Jim's review room hope you guys do you add me on there and enjoy the content over there as well other than that let's get going with this Q&A session first up is a sponsorship and keep in mind guys sponsorships do help tremendously with my channel here I basically use that money to reinvest into all these gadgets that I'm getting hey guys I know the video is a little bit dark right now it's 9 o'clock and just got home today's Tuesday the video earlier was from Monday and sorry about that sponsorship they literally pulled out overnight last night and woke up this morning solving or cancellation so it is what it is sometimes that happens well first time for me it happened so it's no big deal sorry about that I didn't want to redo the entire vlog since I filmed it yesterday and just a cotton piece of together just what would have looked right anyways let's do some questions for you guys starting with Twitter and I apologize in advance amount of bastard names no matter what I'm just horrible with pronouncing names here first one up is from a cash PI on Twitter here when will be your next giveaway it's gonna be at thousand subs whenever that happens I think Oh God right now I'm at like 197 or so whenever that happens that's when we be next giveaway which one do you use at your daily driver right now is the note 7 I'm sorry the s7 the note 7 potentially could blow up you guys already know about that I kind of want to get the v12 from LG I really love the v10 b12 that's a lot it's really different from the original one so we'll see a lot of the same features are coming back they're just great but just a physical aspect it looks a lot different of course but anyways we'll see about that still contemplating shab elite or at any leat on Twitter I hope you can do laptop reviews in the future do you prefer Mac OS or Windows for video editing and productivity asks to be oxygen I haven't used a Mac computer since probably middle school high school when they had those square box Apple Macintosh I don't know what you call them back in a day have everything via windows and Android Google all that stuff and you know what the business is just rolling so fast it's kind of hesitant I'm making that switch next one up here let's see Perth eesh and I'm sorry man / theis on Twitter it says if your life before as a youtuber I used to work in insurance I used to work in banking specifically mortgages I used to be a daytime trader I used to trade stocks or equities and then I used to trade SMP futures I'll get more into detail about that in the next video to 200,000 video in a 200,000 sub vlog I'm gonna detail my past my present basically YouTube today and what I have planned for the future so more details about that just hang on tight that should be coming up shortly let's see Alex Potvin ask do you prefer alto shoots or indoors or why letting deaf visuals and how much time you spent on one review very common question about how long does it take for me do a review I do prefer to shoot indoors the reason being is as a controlled environment I could double lighting situation for the most part and identically the same with every shoot that I do if I go outdoors if it is raining if it's super sunny that day high noon the colors the the settings all have to change them to read down everything back down so there's a lot more variables now with that being said I personally would love to work outdoors so most of time when I do my narratives most of the time when I'm testing the products I usually just go out just to get away from the studio here to see it get out get some Sun on me and just these civilization because if you're cooped up in the house for so long of course it could be very daunting oh and almost forgot here how much time do I spend on a one review it really depends and this is not including testing testing can vary by different products if they have batteries of course I dreamed up a couple batteries sometimes with these activity bands or so that's why I'm not the first one to come out with a review is because if I do get it on the street release date that means I don't get a review unit that means if I can't you know have my guy hooked me up at some store and get early on you know I have to wait five seven days to have the battery entirely drained until I can pull out an actual review I really thoroughly test them as for let's say it's a pair of headphones that does not have batteries it's a traditional wire that could take maybe about three days or so the reason being the first day I always do the burnin test I just let it doesn't run for a couple hours straight just in case you never know and then I start preparing and listening and usually on the third maybe the fourth day I have a listen one more time just in case my thoughts change it's not a first impression video but it's you know I try to put some meat in the reviews and stuff so I really do testing but regarding the filming and editing narration typing up my narrative that the narrative itself I would say maybe six hours for me to type it all up proofread it try to tweak it to the point where customers can usually understand me but yet the same time have that narrative come off naturally as well so that's the bail that try to take and also then I would record my voice of course that never perfect every time I do stutter a lot if you say um a lot and of course in the narratives I do speak a lot slower and it do in person and so that's just the narrative part the filming part takes holy cow it depends again the note 7 and you can imagine that's a maybe three or four days or so three days each day about eight to ten hours of work that's not including my time so it's email towards you know business calls and all that stuff behind the scenes trying to fill up my calendar for the eat maybe be found a month and you know they finally week sponsorships whatever it may be other times it takes an average I would say if it's just your typical review I don't say two days to film and add it and put it all together render upload all that fun stuff and I know I'm probably slower than a lot of people but like I said I I always try to focus more on quality than quantity and that was something that I struggled with corporate America when I was working you know for companies it was always a rush rush rush rush rush and then you know to get your numbers good or right you just had to do enough and there's times you had to cut corners that say I don't know that that just wasn't me that's a stomach work ethic so anyways I know that's a long answer but that the detail answer for those who are curious I know a lot of people if you ask me that pretty often it actually next look next question here Alex h7 off a Twitter this isn't a correlated but I want to know what's your most embarrassing story / moment I have so many embarrassing moments I would think I don't know back in like middle school I had a crush on a girl and I used to be like a total dork so I I would print out a card basically your standard printer paper and you would print it out and you will fold it in four and I would you know put a cute picture on there in a write a little message and I'll stick it into our locker that I think it worked once then I eventually met her who started talking and her breath was horrific and I was like oh I'm and this is this is not my chick bad breath and odor that's such a turn-off but anyways none of the other future attempts ever worth so that's prime of a most embarrassing moment that I have that just like you know comes off top my head alright next one here alright so Emma's check Chaffin says who is your favorite youtuber and why Congrats on your hundred ninety thousand subscribers thanks man and love watching her videos favorite youtuber one that just comes across my cuz he's the most popular in my opinion Casey nice that and it's not because he does make entertaining videos and he's just quirky and funny it's because he I believe he's just a true genuine creator and he's just for original and with today with YouTube especially there's just so I see it I see it so much so many people are just copying each other and it just it discusses me and that's probably the only bad side maybe one the very few bad sides that I see on YouTube today is just the capping that's occurring and a lot of people say hey you're you're not me but they're just saying hey there they're looking for inspiration tweak it your own way there's a lot of people that I not a lot but there's people that I watch that you know does inspire me and I try to derive my style my techniques actually off of Netflix and watching a lot of documentaries and just watch up those angles of slope and watching the way the color things and frame things especially that's where I get my inspiration from but what I'm saying is there's so many youtubers today that they're you can almost take one channel and put another channel next to it and they'll have maybe the same white table maybe the same purple neon lights and I'm not calling anyone out and it looks gorgeous I think it looks good and sometimes I look way better than my videos I'm not hating on that I'm just talking about and again the reason why I like Casey nice that is because I love originality I love the creative mind I really dislike it it's kind of annoying when I see people is copying or finding inspiration others and then just incorporating into their own work squeak it just enough to make it your own and that's all I could ask I know some people were saying well what the hell I really like something I mean it is what it is and there's times where maybe my stuff looks pretty similar to others but then at the same time I strive to be different in my way and not because I'm a rebel or anything at the end the day I'm a creator so again that's a my excellent explanation so Casey and I said it's a long story I actually watch a lot of I watch more like Fitness channels Christian guzmán is one of the guys that I watch I actually knew him or started watching him ever since he started from the beginning before he had a warehouse before he had the fancy cars and everything before and it's real clothing line but just really into fitness stuff I'm trying to be a fitness nut although I'm you know hypocritical about that but I try to be super cars of London Shmi 3:50 those a car guys basically I do love nice to ask loud cars that's why I'm not as much as I like a tech and Tesla like I said just now loud v8 V tends naturally aspirated non turbos and German built hand-built whatever it may be you know those are the cars that just mmm just that gets me going and one day like I hope to have that but of course there's family first in the business second and then maybe the supercars one day down the road who knows all right woman on next year ray and chaski says I didn't even draw my life what are your plans on YouTube in the future again at the two thousand two hundred thousand subscriber video I also posted my again personal Facebook accounts jimmy'll on official Louis caster asked are you a fan of The Walking Dead and are you looking forward to season seven hell yes been watching every season as every episode has been coming out it's such a slow show but I have no idea why I'm so addicted to it I think God and what's that what's that dude's name to do with the mullet I think Meighan whacked him at the end of last season so who knows me and my fiance is still trying to guess who it is really Thomson says I was wondering what was harder in your new career speaking to the camera or continuing on in the beginning when you were unsure when you were a unsure noob keep going through way way more money that you could make so it was harder in your new career speaking to the camera or basically blowing money I'm assuming I'll be honest it was it was blowing the money the speaking part if you watch my old videos they are horrible but my bigger focus was if I don't get this business off the ground by you know whatever my time for me was I planned everything out if I didn't make it my numbers at that time I knew I would have ran out of savings 1 2 I would have gone back to corporate America and that's the last place I ever want to go back to I never want to be employed by someone else I I would rather be making less and just being my own boss and be content and happy and producing my own content and just seeing you guys you know absorber it watch it I don't know looking at your comments and feedback I enjoy that much more if I can continue you know motivating inspiring people and I have a voice through YouTube through Jim true guru now through my personal accounts that that what makes me happy worked for corporate was for ending this so anyways money if I didn't make my numbers it would have been hell James Chenoweth says you live in Charlotte yes I do if you haven't been definitely astral I have been up to Asheville and I have been to the built when the Biltmore is ridiculously fabulous been there for the Winter Festival where they light up all the candles and stuff it would be nice Adrienne Navarro has do you plan on getting a Tesla Model car if so could you do a review and I would love to do a review on it I would definitely love to try a Tesla myself this is see if it fits you know my personality yeah Lucas ludicrous mode sounds great but again when you combine the sound of an engine and just the rumble the shakin nuances of that it really makes you connect it to a car if those who drive manual know what I'm talking about that's what I mean you just feel connected to the car and I know manually going away it is what it is but I feel Tesla it's a great car can't a sacar love the tech but I don't know I just love the rawness of a old-school car I guess our traditional car or actually a today's car but hasn't captured yes let's see Dan Edmund dead or beside an eminent or Emond I am sorry man do you have any productivity tips for others who work in their home on their own time how did you stay focus when you first started again it's just a house on the grind my focus and life and it's always been like this I always have a goal wherever it is it's usually I try to aim really high because there are times when you fail but at least are that much higher than if you had your goals that much lower but what keeps me motivated little lethargic just not feeling it same thing with working out sometimes you get them down gazers is like yo I'm just not in the mood we'll keep looking at that bigger picture and just know everyday you grind it just makes for a better day tomorrow just know it every time that you feel fatigued or you feel exhausted or you feel like you don't want to work the days that you do work same thing when working out that I've noticed all the days that you make the most games there's no different women it's kind of getting cliche now but it rings so true when people are sleeping you're up working when people are napping I don't know grind harder when people are on vacation put 2 X 3 X 4 X down and just hustled that much harder and I guarantee those are the times that you make the most strides the most gains the biggest performance increases are doing the during those moments when you lack the most motivation when other people left the most motivation so I don't say those are the times that I try to convince myself and crank as hard as I can let's see here Gideon GK asks you always by your review items isn't it expensive yes it is expensive today and I think another person had the same question to a lot of compassion it has the same question I I still purchase a lot of the items that you guys see on the channel Anubis closed it in the beginning of every channel as well if I did purchase it or did not 90 I was 80 90 90 percent in 92 percent of the items that you guys see as items that I think personally purchase and it doesn't mean I'm rich or anything like that what I do and I don't think it's any secret sauce or anything like that I I strive to try to make the best videos that I can with enough content and information that would definitely help people because when it does help people you get shared obviously and I try to make as much money as I can back I do sell the items eventually so that's why for the longest time you don't see me doing comparison videos now I'm starting to do a little bit more of those and those have been pretty decent but yeah I just sell the items back as soon as I'm done with the review to try to make as much money back and over the length of 12 months I look at the analytics the numbers and I try to make sure or ensure that i recoup the cost back and when you guys see any one of my videos that makes maybe 10,000 views you can you for sure know I'm not making my you back the phones I lose my money so mentally the note seven even though I got I'm a seventy eight thousand views so far on it it's a $900 phone I'm not I'm not making anywhere close to 900 bucks excuse me I'm that phone so the note sounds actually to my right here so let me shady slim sheddy on instagram here and longtime viewer to be honest with you guys shoutout to slim can we expect a second channel and my name is pronounced AK he'll let I murdered your name last time I'm probably murdering it right now slim I just call you Shetty that's all it is man yes I am planning to make a second channel and that will probably come and pretty soon just to keep things organized but the second channel be more personalised background stuff Jim's review will most likely exist for these logs here so second channel will be coming I decided to commit myself to doing that just waiting for things to die down a little bit and create the banner create the the analytics create the account all that fun stuff okay JW x ec whatever your name is have you ever thought of expanding your team so he can fire us with more content more efficiently with more variations and sponsors to afford more expensive and higher end items we're trying next year all right next one Mithun 41:49 says what's your favorite smart form of the year there's probably three more phones coming out this year so I want to hold back a bit I still love the LG v10 you guys see me rocking a lot of Samsung I love the LG v10 because most likely has the IR blaster that I love and then I used I missed that for my Samsung Note 4 back in the day ah let's see here Evan Chang any dream car for the future yes right now I'm really digging the new Aldi or H or the ar-10 you know both models are the same Mik on the outside the Lambo work on God man those price is so expensive by getting that is a dream car it is really nice I don't know if that could be my daily driver I'll see I have seen some youtubers for God's sakes and use those things every day I don't know how they do it the repairs would be up the arse I have always been fond of Austin Martin watching a lot of reviews they're really just refined you know grand touring cars sport oriented cars they're not super cars but I've always for some reason really really loved Austin Martin's they always seem timeless to me and they just have some level of sophistication that I really like so we'll see so anyways that's it for this video in this vlog here I hope I answered a lot of these questions for you guys I know this video is probably long right now it is 10 o'clock so I took about an hour answering questions I probably condense this down to maybe a 10 20 30 minute session who knows but anyways guys I'll catch you guys on the next one Fitbit charge review is coming out next later at the end of this week the 200,000 sub video is coming out whenever that is but at the rate we're moving man we're killing it alright guys I'll talk to you guys later and good night I'm going to sleep bye
