Today I spent all day at greeter.. fail. I can't wait till I can be back on platform again. It's so frustrating to be so limited with what I can do. Rawr... Hopefully next week I'll be back in the swing of things, providing the meds do what they're supposed to. So far it seems to be working. The pain isn't as bad as it has been and pressure is somewhat releasing. So that's good. But at the end of the day, I'm completely drained and I have pangs.. I think it's because of all the standing around, the extra talking and the sun that just drains me.
Oh well.
Earlier tonight an old professor of mine, Kelly, called me up on Skype to talk with her class about YouTube being used in Social Media. I tried my best to try and talk about YouTube from how I see it, and I hope I got my point across, though looking back I wish I had said some other things or left some things out. Sometimes I have a tendency to ramble and I think I ended up doing that a bit. Sigh. Nerves. Either way it was a lot of fun and I miss my days back at Nescom. It was some of the best years of my life and I'm so glad I found a school like that.
To Kelly's class who may be reading this, there are a few other points I want to make about YouTube.
Yes, there are people who make YouTube as a full time career, but don't go in thinking that's what you want to do. Make videos because you enjoy making videos. Don't go in for the fame, don't go in for the money, go in for fun. Over time, people will find you and people will subscribe and you'll gain a small following. It won't happen over night, so don't be upset if only 10 people watch your videos. I have 750+ subs, but I'm lucky if I reach 200 views on my videos. But some of that is my fault since I don't post on a daily schedule. Which brings me to another thing: Post on a daily schedule. The more you post, the more people will remember who you are and will be more likely to watch you over and over. This is something that I'm going to do more often. My goal is to post every Sunday and then go on from there.
Also: Be respectful to your subscribers. Take the time to thank them for subbing to you, take the time to reply to their comments. Start a discussion. Get involved in other channels. Reply to other videos, favorite them, and try to find channels that are around the same subscriber that you're at and make friends with them. This way you can help each other grow.
If you have any questions, feel free to message me and I will try my best to answer. I'm not a pro with YouTube, but it's a community that I'm very fond of. :) <3
