So today was a good day, took care of the bonsai, brainstormed for video ideas, and got ready to create two videos today, which were both uploaded. Question is should I have uploaded both videos or maybe waited for another day? I always have trouble trying to figure out YouTube. I know I have said it once before but now that my subscribership is moving forward, I don't know what I am doing wrong. Where are the views and why do I suck?
Okay, I know I don't suck, but I guess I am going to answer my own question. "Where are the views?"
I think the main problem with my low viewership is that I don't have a constant appeal. Videos and channels on YouTube do well if the content is always similar. Subscribers come to appreciate that and watch content creators that have consistent videos. If your videos are like mine and they are scattered all over the spectrum, it's probably best to give your viewers and explanation of what you are doing. Like myself, I constantly tell my viewers that I am trying something new or that the channel is about my life hoping they understand that life is not a one track speeding bullet train.
Another reason and maybe my doubts for today are that I have too many videos for such a short time on YouTube. I feel like maybe my subscribers or potential subscribers have no place to go or they feel like they can't settle into my space. In the coming days, I plan to address this problem with a Channel Trailer. Currently, the trailer space houses one of my many videos, this one on eating things made with Nutella. I have had some success in the past days with more subscribers, but I need something that will solidify my work as a content creator, something that will tether me with the greats of YouTube.
My other qualm with my current situation is that I feel I am not engaging the viewers enough. My audience is very much scattered all across the board. Most are German which is really cool, but I think some people will have trouble relating to me or understanding what I want. If you are German and reading this, please don't take offense. You guys are my one true stronghold in this YouTube world. To remedy the problem, I am going to start focusing on cultural and social topics while still maintaining the same content that I already create. My brand is adapting as more viewers subscribe and I want to make sure that I do this right, for them, and for me. If you struggle with this problem, it's time to start making a niche for yourself and learn what people like. This is the process I am starting.
So I have answered my question but did I answer yours? I don't claim to know the in's and out's of YouTube and I can assure you there are better people out there who have studied this stuff extensively. So continue your search but feel free to take some advice from me.
I will always prevail and I have sworn not to give up on YouTube. So smash that Subscribe button on the side of this page or go to my YouTube Channel for more.
In the end, someone will watch. It might be one or three, but someone will watch. With that I should be satisfied...but I am not.
Until the World revolves Again...B

Good Work,Short Lived
So if you have seen my Youtube channel by now, you would know that I have gotten a job. It is my first big boy job outside of college, actually the first real job I have ever had. If you watch my Youtube channel, you would also know that I no longer work at that job.
I worked for three weeks in a field that I thought was going to take me to my future. It sounded like everything I needed to jumpstart my dreams. Work in social media, film and edit short videos, interview the public, etc. It honestly was all of those things, for the first week on the job and then everything changed.
So let's start at the beginning, a former boss of my brother was looking for an assistant for her representative campaign and she thought of me specifically. I was thrilled to hear this. I had been stuck without a job since my graduation in December of 2014 and with it being August 2015 it was finally time that I get to work. I met with my soon-to-be boss and immediately said yes, the job was everything I needed, and why would I pass it up. The first week, I was constantly working, meeting with people at events, taking photo and video, updating social media, it was great. I had big plans for my boss as her assistant, and I was going to make sure that she had everything she needed. The only thing I didn't know was that she really didn't need me.
The second week of work was sparse and I could barely get in touch with my boss. she would call be later in the day and set up meetings with me or other people. She started to just send me posts to put up on social media, or simply do it herself. The plans and ideas I had talked about for her run for representative had fizzled and failed. She even started to make jabs at my work. I was crushed that what she wanted me to do was not good enough, especially since it was the first time I had ever held a job like that. After a meeting with someone from a different campaign, my thoughts about the job changed and I realized that I was no longer needed. I wanted to quit, but I had no idea what to do.
I stuck it out for the third week and after a Monday of me lounging around my apartment, my boss called me and needed me to film some video for the next day. That day came and went and all I could think about was how shitty everything had turned out. I had to use my own equipment which is semi-professional at best to create professional looking work. Let's just say, it came out subpar. I was devastated and my boss quickly pointed it out, going so far as to insult my intellect and my schooling. I had had enough of work and decided to end it all at the end of the week.
The meeting went well, I no longer work for that person as you already know. I am supposed to do some more work for her, like videos and everything, but she hasn't really said anything and I haven't been paid, so I think I will skip doing that for her. I am truly done with this work and unfortunately I don't know where my next job is going to come along. I have YouTube for now, but even that is starting to frustrate me. I have very few views and only about 43 subscribers. I honestly love all of them so much, but I am so unsure of my future.
Untile the world revolves again....
