Yo whats up! I’m a 20 year old skier currently working in the norwegian military and will be trying to start making some ski-content on the side.
i don’t know how people will respond to this thread, but here we go…

I’m going to start up a side-hustle tryna make som youtube-content, it’s probably going to be mostly backcountry/touring since i will have to drive for 10 hours to get to the nearest useable park, but i will be making some backcountry jumps and try setting up some cool features if conditions allow. I’m gonna make the best of the situation as it is and all i ask of you is to consider subscribing to my youtube channel (link at the bottom). I haven’t posted anything yet but hopefully the conditions will get better considering lack of snow and shit. So if you wanna see some videos from the blissful mountains of Norway; subscribe and hit the bell to get notified when i start posting! I’ll try posting once a week, but due to the fact that I work in the military there may be some weeks i’ll be unable to post.

thank you for helping a new creator grow! Let’s see how far we can go

Hate to kick ur balls, but youtube isn't going to be a "side hustle". its going to be a passion project. You're not going to make money from YouTube.

Hey I subscribed let's see some videos when you can get to it! I would suggest any back country skiing videos in Norway would be awesome! 🇳🇴 looks like a beautiful country I'd love to visit someday.
one of my ski buddies is also named Forgo small world!

I subscribed. Didnt cost me anything.

Ive always dreamt of sailing in the norweigan fjords and touring the mountains there.

If you could fork out for a DJI drone, im sure the scenery there will get you many viewers across the world

dont forget about telling a story!!!!!

explain the misson and why you want to do it -> the prep -> embarking -> the hard part -> getting back -> reflection on the misson

think the fifty project, very succesful video series that i love watching. educational in a way
