Being a YouTube Vlogger

...takes time, commitment, motivation and creativity. At first, before, I started getting subscribers, I didn't trip off, all that. I made a video and posted it, no matter, if it was wack. My first year on YouTube was not good. lol

As I got more serious, things got to be more challenging. I used to ask myself, do I really want a big following? Having a big following...shooooot, people, expect you to produce great content and be consistent. I find, sometimes, I'm not in the mood and it feels, like, I am not sticking to what is expected of me.

I try to put out, at least, 1 video a week or 4 videos a month. Lately, I haven't been doing that. I don't know....sometimes, our personal lives get in the way of our, YouTube, lives. YouTube ends up being on the back burner.

Last year, I started my year off with YouTube, like, a jet. I mean, I was putting those videos out there, regularly. This year, I'm moving sort of slow. I got some really good ideas, but, the drive isn't there. I think it's, well, I know it's my schedule at work. Then again, it's just me. I come up with all these excuses and in the end, it's me.

For the most part, in mid March or the beginning of April, I plan on producing more content on a regular basis. Then, I'll probably slow down, then pick back up.

I notice, some YouTubers put out content and then take a long break, like, 6 months or whatever. I tend to take a few weeks or maybe a month, then, I'll jump back in.

It's fun, although, it can be draining and even, emotional. How can it be emotional?

Well, you are always wondering, am I good enough? Is my content good enough? Do my viewers like my content? Why such negative comments? Views, stats...etc. I mean, it goes on and on.

Sure, we look good on camera, but, we always tend to worry about numbers. Subs, views, likes...etc. It's always on our minds and it becomes stressful. You eat, sleep and drink, YouTube and you are constantly spending money, to make your videos better. It's a never ending story.

It's alot of work, making these videos. I know, it doesn't seem like it. Then, you have people, just steal your videos, post them on their channel and you be like, wtf? It could be, that, they admire you. Who knows? All I know is, they didn't put in the work. I got a few videos, that took me 10 or more hours to make. That includes, setting up equipment and appearance of myself and editing. As a matter of fact, that's one reason why I won't record a video; the setup and appearance. I don't feel like it.

I love doing,YouTube, part time. It allows me to have more freedom and not worry, on a everyday basis. if I get overwhelmed, I'll take a break:)

Bye for now:)
