Welcome to tip.it.

Further guides probably you should post at http://forum.tip.it/forum/113-general-guides/

 

Does this really need a guide though? Knowledge base article tells more than enough, also is faster to read than your video.

 

If you want to make guides, you probably should make guides that people need, not those they don't.

Good effort though, good luck in the future ^^

I'll write feedback as I do this.

 

Firstly, you need to crop the watermark sometimes. REcord an area slightly larger than you need so you can cut out 'hypercam 2' or just use camstudio or fraps-something without one.

 

Second, it's worth cutting the sections of your video where you aren't saying anything. People can always pause if they can't read what you're saying fast enough. Even better is to use subtitles to explain what you're doing rather than just standing there and typing it out. Better than that is to use voice commentary, although I can understand people not wanting to do that.

 

Keep the camera zoomed in so people can read what you're saying. Or use subtitles rather than RS text.

 

Your guide seems to be pretty much done at 2 minutes. You bore us. Make the thing snappy.

 

Finally, get accurate information. While a low-level subject, as addressed above, you haven't shown all there is to know. For example you could pay a protection price and not need to worry about watering the root. Or you could possibly put an amulet of farming on it (not certain). You didn't adress the issue of how to use compost and the difference between super and normal compost. Finally, you missed out another important aspect of farming which is the outfit that helps you most. Magic secateurs from the first fairy quest increase yield-something extremely important to a profit-based farmer-while a falador shield 2 increases the experience on those patches by 10% (the ones with elstan). Finally, an amulet of farming/nature also helps because you can bind it to certain patches.
