A creator with 2,000 subscribers commits to uploading four videos per week for three months to break his pattern of sporadic uploads. He'll replace TV and gaming time with production and reassess after the trial period to decide whether to continue.
Hey guys, this is gonna be a commentary about, you know, kind of the plans of my channel, what I plan on doing, and just the history of my channel. So I understand if you don't want to watch it because generally when I click on videos that other channels post like this, I'm like, "Why do I care about your channel? Just give me entertaining videos that I can enjoy." So go ahead, click off if you're not that interested in my channel because that's 100% what this video is going to be about. And I'm just gonna talk about kind of the future of my channel, what I plan on doing, and things like that. So pretty much the other day— not the other day, yesterday— I was just thinking about my channel and how I almost have 2,000 subscribers and just how far I've come in the last 2 years. Obviously I'm nothing compared to the top-tier YouTubers, but I still have a decent start. It's a good start for where I am on YouTube. And, uh, over the past 2 years I've never like fully committed to uploading. Like, I'd upload, uh, every day for like a week and then I'd quit. I would just upload tons of videos in short increments of time and then I'd quit for a really long period, then I'd get motivated and I'd start doing it. And I think a lot of YouTubers have that, um, same pattern in their upload. They upload very actively for a short period of time, and then they just go inactive for, you know, till they get their motivation sparked again. So I'm gonna try to commit myself to making a video every other day for the next 3 months and just see where my YouTube channel goes. And if I'm happy where it gets at the end of that time period, then I'll keep uploading. If not, I'll probably quit because, you know, I was thinking I don't want to be in the future, you know, like 10 years from now, and I don't want to wonder, you know, how big can my YouTube channel have gotten if I had stuck with it, if I had actively uploaded to it when I had a bunch of free time in high school like I am right now. And so I'm gonna commit. I have an upload schedule: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. So 4 days a week, not exactly every other day, but almost every other day. 4 videos a week, every week for the next 3 months. I'm gonna make that a promise because, like, I feel like I have the motivation to do YouTube and I really want to do it. I just, you know, I never really dedicate myself. And I think if I get a schedule, I'll, I'll know when I have to have a video done by. And I don't know, I just feel like it'll make everything a lot easier. So I'm setting a schedule. I already told you, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday. And I'm gonna do that every week for the next 3 months and just see where it takes my channel. And just see if I'm happy with the results, 'cause as I said, you know, a long time from now, I don't wanna have, you know, I don't wanna wonder, you know, what could my YouTube channel have been if I stuck with it and was active, 'cause I've already invested so much time into this channel. And, uh, yeah, so that's pretty much everything. Just, I'm gonna start getting an upload schedule, and I'm gonna, you know, commit myself for the next 3 months. Instead of, you know, watching TV or playing, you know, stupid apps like Plants vs Zombies and Magecraft on my phone and Angry Birds, I'm gonna use that time on YouTube videos because I have a lot of free time, but I, you know, have a tendency to spend it watching TV or just doing other things when I could be doing more productive things like making YouTube videos and growing my channel. So that's pretty much everything I wanted to say. Let me know what you think. I thought it was a good idea, but your opinion is always nice to hear.
