Do you have a YouTube channel? Or are you thinking about creating one? Or do you have a channel that you stopped updating?
If you have a YouTube channel:
- what made you create it?
- what do you talk about?
- is creating videos a periodic thing? Or something you do regularly?
- how easy (or difficult) has it been to gain an audience for your content?
(Feel free to post a link to your channel. Or leave out if prefer :-)
If you don't have a YouTube channel, but have been thinking about creating one:
- what would you like to talk about?
- what's holding you back from creating a channel? Any particularly fears or worries?
If you have a YouTube channel, but stopped updating it with new videos:
- what caused you to stop updating the channel? Boredom? No time? No audience? Rude posters?
One of the reasons I stopped my blog was because I had hardly any readers. At first, I believed I was writing for myself. I learned a deal about the topic of housing, and I improved my writing too. However, I realised I also wanted an audeince: not for fame or popularity - just to engage with readers and gain some feedback I wasn't writing absolute rubbish!
If I create a YouTube channel I will use my blog posts as a basis for the videos. I would not appear on camera as a "talking head", but use visuals in the video to illustrate a topic. I can't speak fluently spontaneously without multiple pauses, 'um' and 'erm' - instead I would use my blog posts as a kind of script.
Should I revive the blog (written word)? Or create a YouTube channel? Still undecided :-)
