It's no secret my Fixologist channel is not that large of a channel, and frankly doesn't make me much money at all. I had hoped to change that this past year by getting into the small engine game (at a time when they're being replaced with electric). I know, odd right? While that plan hasn't totally worked out, I have seen a few videos begin to really take off after being up for a while. YouTube seems particularly fond of vacuum cleaner repairs. I think I could do very well on those, and might try more of them this spring and summer. TV repairs can be hit and miss, but have been good performers on the Guitologist channel over the years. I have several of those to get to. Also, my little pancake air compressor repair has started to go hockey stick on the view curve too, so cheap air compressors might be a winner too. My few Jaguar XJ8 vids have done super well, nd also make a LOT of money, so vehicles are a definite win, but I don't have the facilities (or the tools and skills frankly) for...

I am actually kind of shocked how good this is sounding even though one of the camera mics (the one for the drums) is from a DJI Action Cam and the other (for the guitar) is a Panasonic camcorder mic. Usually when making this kind of demo, the raw camera mic audio acts as a guide when lining up video clips on the editing timeline and then gets deleted from the final timeline before publishing. In some cases, I will even mix in a hint of the raw camera microphones with the studio mix to give ...
