Keeping a Schedule for YouTube--It May Be What I Need

So over the last week, I have kept up with my life by posting it to my YouTube channel, but I noticed that over the week I was becoming more upset over what I was doing. I never quite know what is working sometimes, and for so long I have wanted to create a schedule to help plan my videos. So if you noticed, you can now see a schedule on my channel that will tell you exactly what is happening on my YouTube page every week. Be warned, though, everything is subject to change.

If you are tired of hearing about my qualms in life, I am sorry to say that probably won't stop. I am never one to push my feelings on anyone, but if I can help people with dealing with the problems I have, I am going to do it.

I am a sap, what do you expect!

 So if you are working on a YouTube channel, I say follow  your heart but also follow a schedule. In life, you will find that events happen unexpectedly but remember, the unexpected is not very welcomed by everyone. I had to learn this, and I am slowly working to make my channel focused and routine. My schedule will now keep my ideas in check and it will also help my viewers understand what I am up to. Hopefully, I don't have to always rely on my schedule but for a budding content maker, I have to make sure that the audience knows what I am all about.

So let's see, if you made it through my words you now know that you need a schedule and that's about it. Honestly, that is all I have for YouTube tips today. It is no secret that if you want a successful youtube, then you need one. You also might want to try keeping your content similar. I know I struggle with this, but it is getting better.

Check out my week of vlogging all rolled into one. These videos are due out every Friday.

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....
