Ok so I’m on my laptop now so I can type things out for everyone but here’s a summary of today’s Livestream
No new cosmetics this week. Ubi wants players to get accustomed to the new heroes before they start giving us new cosmetics. New stuff will start coming in next week.
There was a PC Hotfix and a console live update. They didn’t specify what went in, but apparently this console update has fixed some of what should’ve been there when the huge update dropped last week.
This week is the last week to purchase the Viking Celebration Bundle. It was placed on the in-game store due to the vikings winning Season 1. Included is four ornaments and executions that were already out for the four viking heroes.
A new patch is coming soon. while there will be no specifics right now, future updates will include things like:
Ragequit punishments
Colorblind options
PvAI fix (this one was a huge problem and they’ve had this one on the top of their list)
A fix for the notification problem (with the little “!” icon in hero customization menus)
Reflex guard bugs (certain heroes change stances when they move like Kensei, apparently if done right, it messes with where the stance is)
Warlord changes (Some players have found out a way to abuse Warlord’s shield push after a guardbreak to the point where they can push players across the room. They don’t want this to be a thing)
Raider Charge fix (oftentimes Raider charges don’t get a grab when they obviously should. They’re working on it now)
Trophy/Achievement fixes (Achievements like “Reservist”, “For Honor”, and “Active Duty” don’t trigger when criteria is met, this should be fixed soon
Ubi is also looking at things like:
Chip Damage to stop the defense meta
A way to stop Centurion kick spam in 4v4 matches. Lately it’s been obvious that more players play Centurion, and every Centurion in a 4v4 can abuse the kick to keep enemy players stunned to be killed.
Complaining about the Shinobi kick and it’s lack of being punished. Ubi says to let things happen and that they can only fix things when they have enough data. 
Inventory. There’s no answer on expanding hero inventory yet because that might take up more memory.
The revealed executions and effects. While it’s been found in the games data, that doesn’t mean that their ready to be released. We’ll have to wait at least a week before stuff like that is ready.
Help with certain heroes. Ubi has asked for help with certain heroes that htey feel need work on, but aren’t certain where. Heroes like Kensei, Nobushi, and Orochi for example. Ubi has gotten feedback on Kensei and Nobushi, but still need help with Orochi. If you main Orochi be sure to give your input, since For Honor forums should have certain threads that focus on this.
Finally, Ubi talked about archiving old stuff in their offices. Stuff like videos are being archived, and older videos have been found, and they think it’s a cool idea to share some of them. One of the videos shown from this archive was one of For Honor’s Emile Gauthier interviewing Japanese weapons expert Professor Alexander Bennet. Professor Bennet was one of the main people that assisted Ubi in modeling Samurai attacks and how the heroes move according to their weapons.

Back to the YouTube: Why You Should Subscribe to the Channel
2018 is the year of video. Haven’t you heard?
You may have heard me mention this a few times already.
But we’re ready to take this to the next level.
In just a few days, I am going to start posting three to five videos a week on my YouTube channel! With my video recording studio all set up, and my trusty videographer Caleb, I am equipped and excited to bring you value in new ways, on a channel I haven’t focused on at all.
Subscribe here if you haven’t yet (or read on to find out exactly why you should subscribe!).
SPI on YouTube—A Little History
To effectively talk about the future of my YouTube channel, we first have to go back in time to when I started my YouTube channel in 2009. The reason I started the channel is because some of the content I was creating warranted being taught via video. It was visual, so it made sense.
Well, it did until I realized I was deathly afraid to be on camera. Some of my first videos published on YouTube are composed of me using a screen share tool to record what was on my screen so that I could avoid putting my face on camera altogether. I was terrified.
Over the years I’ve become more comfortable with being on camera, obviously. That’s how it is for any content medium when you’re first starting out. You’re getting a feel for it. You’re trying things out. You’re getting used to hearing your own voice.
But you also don’t need to always have your face on camera when you’re creating videos of value. Some of my initial videos have performed very well, despite their lower quality in terms of production. The value was there, and I didn’t have to show my face (woohoo!).
The key is that you don’t have to be perfect from the start. No one is perfect. There is no such thing. Sometimes you just need to start somewhere.
You need to start with value.
A few of my early videos I want to share aren’t great in terms of quality, but they’ve provided value to my audience over the years. These are:
Passive Income Streams 101
In this video, created in October 2009, I share the business model I used to create multiple passive income streams. If you listen to my voice, you’ll notice a lot has changed!
youtube
How to Build a Blog in Less Than 4 Minutes and Write Your First Blog Post
With a timer counting down, I showed my audience how to build a blog in less than four minutes. A catchy title and a special Bluehost affiliate discount made this video very popular, and has helped me earn millions in Bluehost affiliate income over the past nine years.
youtube
The Over-the-Top Office of a 6 Figure Work-at-Home Blogger
The first time I really put my face on camera was in this video. My audience got to meet Gizmo, my dog, and I shared a behind-the-scenes look at my tiny at-home office.
youtube
As you can tell, the videos aren’t great quality, but they still get views to this day, nearly ten years later—which is so awesome.
Back then, my YouTube channel mostly featured tutorials and walkthroughs of my processes.
When I became a little more comfortable, I started to put my face on camera, which opened up more opportunities to experiment and try different things on YouTube, such as adding text on top of the video, and that sort of thing.
And then in 2011, I slowed down on creating videos. That’s when the Smart Passive Income podcast and blog really started to take off, and so I shifted my focus to those two platforms. I started to publish podcast episodes every other week, which quickly changed to every week. I didn’t feel like there was a need to create videos. And yet, despite that, the video channel slowly but steadily grew.
A few years later, as I headed into 2014, I decided to revitalize my YouTube channel. At that point, I had around 35,000 subscribers—all of whom had found my channel organically. I had no real structure or strategy for my channel, so I worked with my videographer, Caleb, for an entire year to create what we eventually called SPI TV. We experimented with publishing one video per week. We analyzed how each of the videos performed. We looked at the video topic, number of comments, and shares. We tried videos where I answered questions from viewers. We did all sorts of things.
And, in the end, I think we experimented our way into some pretty neat and useful videos, including:
How to Write a Book—The Secret to a Super Fast First Draft
youtube
My Custom Home Office Tour and Setup
youtube
33 Public Speaking Tips to Keep Your Audience from Falling Asleep
youtube
That last one, the public speaking video, was filmed in secret in a closed room at an event. We weren’t even supposed to be in the room, but it had a stage and I wanted to use it to record the video and to, show viewers how to effectively speak in public
Most fascinating, out of the fifty or so videos we created under the SPI TV label, the video that has been the most popular is . . .
. . . How to Create an Awesome Slide Presentation (for Keynote or Powerpoint)
youtube
Today, this video has more than half a million views! Crazy.
After a year of producing videos for SPI TV, I was kind of burnt out. I got to a point where I was spending a lot of time and energy fishing for topic ideas. It didn’t feel as organic as it should’ve been. I eventually put aside SPI TV to focus on the AskPat Podcast.
Vlogging Adventures
Fast forward a couple of years, I took my first trip (ever!) to Europe for DNX Global in Lisbon, Portugal. That’s where I tried vlogging for the first time. I bought a new camera, a Sony RX100 Mark V, and I captured my first moments in Europe. It was fun. I wanted to try out vlogging, something I had never done, and what better place to do it than during my first European trip!
Here’s that video:
youtube
I had the camera, a mini tripod that I could set up anywhere, and I just started capturing different moments from the trip. I had so much fun with it. I created mini stories during each day I was in Lisbon. Once I published them on my YouTube channel, I started to get some great interactive feedback—with folks asking and commenting: “Pat, where have you been?” “This is amazing.” “I’d love to see more videos!”
It was reassuring to see that. I honestly didn’t know how my audience would react, but the feedback has been very positive. That sparked new life for me. Over the past couple of years, the blog, podcast, and now the online courses, too, have been working well on their own. They’re a well-oiled machine. I am still very involved in each of them, but the team and the tools we use allow for both a certain amount of automation as well as giving me a break from all the minutiae.
However, I had lost a little bit of that spark of creativity, that outlet for me to try different things and be my weird, awkward, silly me even more.
But, ever since creating the vlogs, and seeing that reaction, it’s made me want to create more and more. I’ve started experimenting with vlogs, capturing behind the scenes of events I attend. I even experimented with hiring a team to follow me around, which was an interesting experience, but not something I’d bring to AskGaryVee or Derek Halpern levels. Those guys are already doing amazing things in that world.
Video, Video, and More Video in 2018
All of this leads to where I’m at today with video, and that is a commitment to making video one of my main focuses for 2018. I think there are a lot of areas of online business that either aren’t covered well, or aren’t even covered at all. If you search for online business-related content on YouTube, you’ll find either a lot of the same old stuff, or you get really scammy or clickbait-type content.
That just makes me sick. I want to change that. I want to fill those gaps of knowledge in the area of online business. That’s why video in 2018 is so important to me. In addition to providing value for my audience, I know that focusing on my YouTube channel can provide a new source of traffic for me. I’m excited to see what optimizing my YouTube channel will bring, and how that will impact my brand. I want to continue to grow and, as always, continue to learn from my experiments so I can share that learning with you. On top of that, by focusing on video, it gives me another way to collaborate with people that I may not have connected with on other platforms.
According to Cisco, video will represent 82 percent of all IP traffic by 2021. (Source: Cisco’s VNI forecast.)
That’s huge.
It’s why, in May 2017, I leased a 900-square foot studio, and invested $35,000 to create a legitimate video recording space with multiple sets, and the equipment I need to make professional videos.
And also why my videographer, Caleb, and I have put our heads together to create a content plan for 2018. Every week, we’ll be meeting consistently to film and batch process our videos. We’re having a lot of fun with it, and I’m learning so much about the video space.
I’m learning that, in order to really grow your audience, your video content needs to be engaging. So that’s something I’ve been focused on this year. With that content, we’re also applying that to blog posts and podcast episodes too. If you’ve listened to any episodes from this year, you’ll know that there is just something a little bit different about them—more compelling, more engaging, and more educational.
I attended VidSummit this year (and I’ll be a keynote speaker at VidSummit next year!), where I met a lot of amazing people creating super engaging video content. It’s inspiring, and I’m learning a ton.
But I’ve also realized that I can bring some of my own experience and value to the YouTube community. A lot of YouTubers, although they have millions of subscribers and views on their videos, they don’t necessarily have a business. I want to help that with that. So I’ll focus on helping them build a business with the audience that they’ve built, outside of the YouTube platform, which will allow them to grow and expand in ways they might not have thought possible.
This leads us all the way back to why you should subscribe to my YouTube channel. For all the reasons mentioned above! Plus, as a bonus, I’m throwing a big contest that will give a shot at having a virtual chat with me over coffee and a spot in an upcoming video of mine!
