So yeah - still to and fro about the whole vlogging thing, but something struck me today that would be a good option…

I have content on Youtube that I've previously made public and then made private, but ultimately I'd like to make vlogs available to subscribers only. I can't see an option to do this, which surprises me - a lot… Any ideas?
 
make it viewable only to certain people via making the video private, when someone subscribes to your channel add thier name to the list of people who can access your content, or you can make your channel private I believe. Which is the same as making a video private but allows you to add people to your channel. Have a play and see. If in doubt ask M13 what he does with his private channel, he is quiet helpful regardless what some people say. He has replied to any message I have sent him, all 3 of them :P but for someone who's inbox must be full everyday it can't be easy.
 
I don't think there is an easy way to do that at the moment (M13 does it but I think it is based on video rental), the YouTube subscription system is really just a basic notification service. It would be interesting if YouTube developed a way to make subscriber only videos, but it is nice to share your content with everyone.

I did originally Dave, but ultimately if I do a proper vlog I don't particularly want anyone I know coming across it unless I intend it - I'd rather keep that sort of content visible to those that are interested and already subscribed. Manually adding people would be a pain but probably manageable since I only have 78 subs.
 
how are you going to know if you know them or not? If someone subscribes under the name hot2trott and has a photo of a guy dashing to the toilet grasping a fresh loo roll will you recognise him/her from the name and picture alone, which may not be of them.

These are just my thoughts and I'm not trying to tell you what you should or shouldn't do, but personally I try to make videos nowadays that I am happy for anyone to see. My friends, my Nan, I'm happy for anyone to watch my videos.

This wasn't the way I've always done it though... In hindsight the drifting videos I made using my last workplace's golf cart weren't the smartest idea I've ever had haha, my boss did end up finding those videos, but I was working my butt off there (unpaid overtime galore) and making the videos never damaged anything so it was fair enough, I blame it on youth :lol:
