“The whole house came up and I came up with it. I was just praying to the Lord to take care of me.”~ Willie Nelson
There’s someone new that I have been watching (willingly) on YouTube who makes daily vlogs and over the weekend makes a special video for audiences to enjoy. The daily vlogs are on one YouTube account and the special videos are on another.
The account with the weekly special videos just recently reached over ONE MILLION subscribers.
Since that point, the YouTube personality has been ranting a little here and there on their daily vlog account.
Now it all comes down to today.
Just under ten minutes of a vlog post that explains the necessity for them to take a break. The explanation that they are tired and exhausted and work hard every day to make quality videos.
The video is almost unnecessary in my opinion.
We all have our things that we do in life that keep us busy. We all have those things in life that take so much time out of our lives. And yes we often reach certain points to where we should take a break from them and then come back to them after a “reboot” so to speak.
YouTubers are no different. If you are someone who posts a weekly video or a daily video… it doesn’t matter. At some point, you’re going to feel like you are going to need to take a break.
Here’s my point:
You have this passion to make videos and upload them to YouTube. You ARE receiving some kind of monetary gift for making those videos. That’s great!!!
You also have a personal life too. The same as everyone else.
Whether you have 100 people subscribed to your YouTube channel or you have the record for having the most subscribers in the world….. you are human and will need a break.
What you do NOT need, is to go on camera and go on and on and on for several minutes explaining yourself to your audience about the decisions you are making in your PERSONAL life.
Your audience doesn’t really care because they have a personal life as well, and so when they decide to make time, they will log on and start watching your videos on YouTube.
That’s right. I said it. Nobody cares! Nobody wants to hear you drag on for so long because you feel (for whatever reason) the need to explain yourself that you are going to take a break.
How about this: Instead of spreading the mustard on the badger, you fist the mallard and then come back and tell us all about it then?
Translation? Stop explaining yourself to your audience and take care of your personal business. And if that means you disappear from YouTube or the Internet in general for a few days- so be it.
Gather yourself, take a break, take a breather, then come back and get back to work. YouTube is NOT going anywhere… trust me!!!!!
Get things done. Get your personal life straightened out. Priorities will always come first before your hobby of vlogging.
And stop worrying about what your audience thinks/says.
JUST DO IT!!
