How To Make A Good Lets Play

Introduction-
Ok, so I have watched so many lets plays its not even funny, and iv found so many ones that are garbage that its not even funny, so here is what I like in a Lets play, and probably what other people like.
World-
So, what I like in a lets play is a fresh world, I don't like seeing "BAM" the guy has stone tools and hes starting to explore, no no no, I like seeing him INPUT the world name and seed, :D after that mining lots of wood is always a good idea, but you don't need to skip much of this either, people like seeing how you play when they start watching you, of course you should talk though, or they would get bored, (Always stay near your spawn point!!! or else dying could be bad for loosing your stuff, and neither you nor the people watching like that!)
Talk-
Ask People Questions!!! Always ask them questions for the next episode, "Where should I build this" or "Think I should make the diamonds into this?" first, this will give them a bit of interaction, secondly they will comment more, which means your YouTube video will be more likely to pop up while they are searching for a good Lets Play series!
Patience-
People love minecrafters with Patience, digging out a big whole is never tiring, and once finished take pride in it!! What? the whole doesn't work for what you wanted to work for? make it work for something else!!! never waste anything you do! and always try to come out with nifty cool ideas that will keep the people watching for more!
Fighting/Mode-
OK, as much as you might want a lets play on peaceful, lets admit it, not many other people do, they want DRAMA!! ACTION!! they want to see you do the best of your abilities and learn from doing so, a good mode is always normal-hard, but placing it on peaceful well your not recording is not against the rules!!!
Cheating-
People never want to see you do and extra /give name amount id, it takes away the purpose of it being survival Lets Play, why don't you go make a Creative Lets play? hm? if your going to do a Survival Lets Play then KEEP IT SURVIVAL!!!
Episode Output-
When people watch this stuff they don't watch an episode and they, well, I'll watch the next one tomorrow... nope nope nope, they will be all over it, so I would release the first 3-5 episodes in rapid succession, try to keep the episodes around 30 minutes to, Always leave a cliff hanger at the end, say you just finished your statue of some sort, "Come back next episode to see it!!!" is always a great answer! Also, have little tags on the right and left sides of your video to go to the next episode and the previous episode!
Kids Friendly-
Consider the age group of people you are trying to reach!if you are going for 9-12ish year olds then try to keep the swearing to a minimum, 13-15 is when ya can use mild swears, but I gotta say, many people don't like the swearing, and the people who dont mind it are not going to like your lets play because you swear, so not swearing can only bring good things to your lets play
things to say
-crap instead of s**t
-dang instead of d*m*
-heck instead of h*ll
you get the point
__________________________________________________________
So anyway, these are my ideas on what a lets play should be like, I made all of these myself, none were stolen, if you are going to use them, then give me credit, and a link to my one, other wise make your own, now bye!!!
