Ooh. Wish I had a spreadsheet of ideas pal I just do whatever comes into my head lolI stick to posting one motovlog per week, and I do that purposefully to prevent from getting burned out. Motovlogging is a fun hobby for me and a part time thing, I don't want to turn it into a "job". I also take a break for two weeks every Christmas + New Years.
Now that said, I'm finding my 50 motovlogs per year schedule to be a bit limiting, as I have a spreadsheet full of a couple hundred motovlog ideas and not enough "weeks" to put them all out. I might start spreading a few "two vids per week" throughout the year just to get a few more of my videos out of my backlog.
I have a similar list. Quite often I end up deleting ideas because they were about the news and if I recorded them they would be about the news six months agoOoh. Wish I had a spreadsheet of ideas pal I just do whatever comes into my head lol
Ok I really need to get me an idea list going let’s see if I can rub my two brain cells together in my smooth brain and figure it outI have a similar list. Quite often I end up deleting ideas because they were about the news and if I recorded them they would be about the news six months ago
Oh yea. That’s possibly my (problem?) I’m enjoying it so darn much I could probably make 1-2 videos a day but don’t want to flood YouTube and now over 2 months scheduledI've seen so many people get burned out on it - I did a recent video on my channel about it - but I do not chase views - I chase FUN. If it's fun, I'm doing it, if not... then bye bye.

I've done experiments, posting a video a day for a week... I still need to sit down and record the talking head video discussing the results.Oh yea. That’s possibly my (problem?)

Yep, I've been there too - riding along, recording a video, and say to the camera, "nope, I don't feel like doing this today". Turn the cameras off, enjoy the ride, and do it again a different day.I also agree, it must be when you are not doing it because you want to, but because you feel obligated before subscribers or habit. Also when you don't know what to make the video about and end up just cursing at all the passing cars and such.
I have had the moments, when something happens and all goes downhill and then I just don't feel like doing it anymore. And then I won't. And then the videos I have scheduled all get published, and autumn comes, the riding season is about to end and I suddenly am full of ideas and want to do stuff but there is no time to do it anymore
That's my outlook on motovlogging too, but I've never been able to state it so succinctly and perfectly. Well said!I've seen so many people get burned out on it - I did a recent video on my channel about it - but I do not chase views - I chase FUN. If it's fun, I'm doing it, if not... then bye bye.
Thanks - I don't usually say things so succinctly ... hence why I typed it. Otherwise, it would be a series of 20-minute videos outlining why that is... oh wait, I already did that!That's my outlook on motovlogging too, but I've never been able to state it so succinctly and perfectly. Well said!
HAHA, I repeat myself constantly, repeat myself constantly!Hmmmm I tend to try not to do videos on the bike too much, mainly becuase I end up repeating myself and sounding a bit silly.
Also putting up the same route every time can be a bit repetative. I am on 140 vids now I have ideas its just finding time to do them, but I dont think I see me getting burnt out
That is the good thing about making videos, you can edit it all out and make it look like a slick masterpiece of thought, wit and ready repartee... all with a couple of clicks of the mouse button!Hmmmm I tend to try not to do videos on the bike too much, mainly becuase I end up repeating myself and sounding a bit silly.

^^^ He's right, you know. Jump cuts make the world go 'round... and me sound halfway coherent.That is the good thing about making videos, you can edit it all out and make it look like a slick masterpiece of thought, wit and ready repartee... all with a couple of clicks of the mouse button!
(Why do you think I do jump cuts rather than flowing ride videos?) Jump cuts also have the advantage on repetitive routes too, as if you only keep the talking and then edit that to be succinct, then rarely will 2 videos be alike enough for a viewer on the other side of the country/world to know you were even on the same roads!
