Intro:
The first thing that comes to mind when the title of the post is “What is a Bisquick?” Bisquick is my 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne that came from Winnipeg, Canada. The story behind this car is very interesting. The story begins in around 1999, when it was parked in a field in Sacagawea, Canada. The Biscayne sat in the field for over 20 years. Then in 2022, Dan, owner of DD Speed Shop, brought the car back from the dead. He attempted to drive the car from Sacagawea to Winnipeg but sadly had to tow it the rest of the way. He began by replacing the rusted body panel on the Biscayne. Then, he did what made the Biscayne one of a kind. He converted it from a 4-door into a 2-door. He is the first person to ever successfully convert a B-Body into a custom 2-door. The car then underwent paint and received a built 454. This 454 then ate a camshaft and became a giant boat anchor. The big block was replaced with a 350 small block Dan had sitting around. After all this occurred, the car proceeded to sit in storage for a year. This is where I come into the story. Dan decided to give the Biscayne away. I found Dan at a car show in North Carolina. I explained to him all about me and why I wanted the car. He told me that I was the sort of person he would want to give the car to. He decided that everyone who wanted the Biscayne would need to submit a video explaining why they wanted the car. I submitted my video and waited for over a month. The videos were then voted on by DD Speed Shop fans and I won in a landslide. I ended up going to Canada with my parents and filled out all of the paperwork for the car. The car was transported to the shop and I began work on it. All of this can be seen in my first two YouTube videos. What I did for Week 2: I have begun to learn a large amount about promoting a YouTube channel over the last week. I have also begun to finally learn how to properly post a reel on Instagram. I began promoting at a car show this weekend. I gained 1 subscriber, but other people were very interested, I just need to figure out how to reel them in. This week is a posting week. I began filming last week. I ended up with two videos worth of footage. On Tuesday night, I edited the footage down into the video. I posted the video at midday on Friday. Currently, as I am writing this, I have 688 views on the new video. The subscriber number has gone down slightly, but this may be due to bots. Conclusion: Overall, this was a good week. I learned a lot about digital marketing. I have also learned about clickbait. For automotive videos, important words should be capitalized, use the phrase “Will it run?” or “Budget build”. The thing that I am going to begin working on is thumbnail pictures. I have not successfully created one of those, yet.

It's very interesting how well you have set up this youtube channel! You should include some of the "how to" parts in your account as well (they would be very interesting to watch!)
