Thoughts on the goings so far
Hey guys,
I got a comment on my TheMabeanie Road to 2019 video:
In the video itself, I found no particular focus on making Supercars videos until the end, where I say that MrMabeanie will become Supercars Mabeanie. The comment suggested to me that I did a poor job at explaining my plans, or maybe they watched all of them and commented on the TheMabeanie one. A lot goes unexplained, but I must admit that I didn't run the video by anybody before making it public.
Another thought I had recently was that I had the idea of, whenever I put Friday Night Fun on TheMabeanie/MrMabeanie, I would post the clip and link video on the other channel. This only makes sense for MrMabeanie, as I want to divert people to TheMabeanie if they want gaming content. Directing people to MrMabeanie would have the opposite effect, so I will no longer put videos on TheMabeanie that send people to MrMabeanie for gaming content.
I look forward to doing Assetto Corsa again this coming Friday.
Thanks for reading,
See Ya!

2019 plan breakdown
Hey guys,
I have released three videos outlining my plans for each of my three personal channels. They do not go into much detail, so I will break down each plan.
MrMabeanie
This channel will be called Supercars Mabeanie by 2019 and will only have videos about the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship.
The channel name will change on January 1st, 2019, to Supercars Mabeanie.
From now until then, there will be less gaming videos. They will instead go to TheMabeanie.
Friday Night Fun will be uploaded less on MrMabeanie and more so on TheMabeanie. This bit is pretty complicated, so I'll break it down. Firstly, there can only be a maximum of 4 FNFs per month.
If 4 (maximum possible) FNFs are made:
What if there is no FNF one month? Then I stick to the plan.
If only 1 FNF:
The schedule of Monday and Friday videos will still be followed. When there are NO FNF videos on MrMabeanie only because they are on TheMabeanie, then Seedscribers will be uploaded in order to ensure that all of that series is uploaded.
On Monday, Supercars videos will be uploaded whenever they are ready. Seedscribers episodes will be uploaded there every week until they run out.
Update videos will be uploaded whenever.
A video will be uploaded onto MrMabeanie if a Friday Night Fun is public on TheMabeanie during this transfer period. The video will show a clip from the FNF episode and have a link to the TheMabeanie channel afterwards.
TheMabeanie
There will be no more Let's Play episodes from the launch of the plan on the 20th of June 2018, and only Assassin's Creed 2 will be uploaded on Tuesdays from the 26th of June onwards. No more Bioshock or Spec Ops: The Line videos.
Friday Night Fun will occasionally appear (as explained in the MrMabeanie breakdown above). The first on TheMabeanie will hopefully be on Friday 22nd of June 2018, this week!
Whenever a FNF is on MrMabeanie, then a video with a clip and in-video link to the channel will appear on TheMabeanie.
Other gaming videos will appear on TheMabeanie on Thursdays whenever they are available.
The channel name will change to Mabeanie Games on January 1st, 2019. It will be the only place to find my solo gaming videos.
Mabeanie2
Mabeanie2 will become a channel featuring me talking about whatever I want. There may be guests from time to time.
On Wednesdays, there will be a new video. If there is any leftover footage from a montage or highlights video (henceforth called a bonus video) on MrMabeanie, then it will appear here. If there is both a bonus video and a talking video, then both will appear.
On January 1st, 2019, Mabeanie2 will be renamed to Mabeanie Talks. Also from that day forwards then there will no longer be any bonus videos.
Note
I hope that I have thought this through well enough. Feel free to ask any questions, as I am a mere mortal and cannot predict the future or be bothered to spend so much time thinking of every possible scenario.
I have a Twitter if you would rather Tweet me, or feel free to comment in any of my videos. The main problem is commenting here on this blog. I don't get notified! https://twitter.com/MrMabeanie/.

If 4 (maximum possible) FNFs are made:
- July - 100% (4) FNF on MrMabeanie.
- August - 75% on MrMabeanie, 25% on TheMabeanie (3 videos on Mr. and 1 on The.)
- September - 50% (2) on Mr. and 50% (2) on The.
- October - 25% (1) on Mr. and 75% (3) on The.
- November - 0% (none) on Mr. and 100% (4) on The.
- December - settling-in period across all channels, 100% FNF on TheMabeanie.
What if there is no FNF one month? Then I stick to the plan.
If only 1 FNF:
- 1 FNF - 100% MrMabeanie (July) then goes on that channel.
- 1 FNF - 75% MrMabeanie (August) then still goes on that channel.
- 1 FNF - 50% MrMabeanie (September) then goes onto TheMabeanie.
- 1 FNF - 25% MrMabeanie (October) then goes onto TheMabeanie, and so on until the end of December.
- 2 FNF - 100% MrMabeanie then goes on that channel.
- 2 FNF - 75% then on MrMabeanie.
- 2 FNF - 50% then one on MrMabeanie and the other goes on TheMabeanie.
- 2 FNF - 25% then they go on TheMabeanie. In November and December, all FNFs go on TheMabeanie.
- 3 FNF - 100% MrMabeanie then goes on that channel.
- 3 FNF - 75% then 2 go on MrMabeanie and 1 goes on TheMabeanie.
- 3 FNF - 50% then 1 goes on MrMabeanie and 2 go on TheMabeanie.

Post-Uni, I am lost.
Hey guys,
I finished Uni on June 8th, and went on holiday with my family for the long weekend.
On Monday I got home and spent the week relaxing.
On Wednesday I did a bit of Pickle-Shaped Peanuts stuff, since it's been a year since the last video on that channel. I should make sure to get some videos up for Mickell Pickell to edit.
It was race weekend for Supercars, and I very much enjoyed catching up. At first, I was very unsure about whether I wanted to because of how much I missed out on. I started catching up on that Wednesday, and by Friday I was caught up for the most part. There are still bits and pieces that I will have to find. Nevertheless, I am understanding how the series is going right now, although unsure about the "return" of Ford to the championship with the Mustang Supercar due to debut next year.
I feel like I have gained very little from Uni, even though I am very aware of the things that I have gained. The 18-year-old who drove to his Australian History exam knew nothing compared to the 22-year-old who has driven to many since then. In terms of my Resume, there is not much to add from the three and a half years of Uni. I put Project Management because I have done many projects with lots of different people. I still feel like the jobs that would be ideal for me (like I know what they are *sarcasm*) are beyond reach, but I think this is for a lack of trying. Once I get moving I think that things will start feeling better.
I also have to get back into the swing of all of my hobbies: comics and YouTube videos mainly. Today I made myself work on videos, and I'm still working on them now. It was for the best and I think that it has been sufficient to get me moving again. What is in my brain in terms of knowing how to do stuff is more able to do the work than the part of my brain that has been pegged to Uni work, YouTube viewing, and Civilization 5 for the past four months.
It's an emotional problem, but I'm working through it.

Will a Supercars Mabeanie channel succeed?
Hey guys!
The answer is yes. At least the data suggests so.
In the last quarter, the views that my channel has received have been directed at both of my Supercars-related videos.
In addition, the predictions video got a 100% viewing average across the 2 views, whereas my V8s 3 FNF video got a 67% viewing average for its only view of the quarter.
Remembering that this is only about the views and watch time from existing subscribers to my channel, I already have an audience for Supercars videos. One thing that should also be noted is that such content is not regular, and may have been viewed because of its unusual nature on my predominantly gaming-related channel.
In terms of views, the tutorial remains at the top with 523 (61%), and the predictions fall down to be 9th in the order with 6 views (0.7%).
I also hope to collaborate with other Supercars channels such as Supercars with Shane, and Hobbo88 (mostly a racing simulator channel but he's a fan of Supercars with a fanbase that comes with it).
I'm quite excited about the future of MrMabeanie in its future identity as Supercars Mabeanie. However, I should play it safe by testing the waters of Supercars videos before I fully commit.
See Ya!
PS: I also hope to use my friend Ihasnotomato to draw extra attention to my channel by doing more collaborations.

Focusing on the views made by subscribers,
my Friday Night Fun V8 Supercars 3 video got 28% of watch time (28 min) and 1 view in this quarter (Jan. 1st to Mar. 20th, 2018), and my 2018 Supercars predictions video got 20% (19 min) and 2 views.In addition, the predictions video got a 100% viewing average across the 2 views, whereas my V8s 3 FNF video got a 67% viewing average for its only view of the quarter.

One thing that should also be noted is that such content is not regular, and may have been viewed because of its unusual nature on my predominantly gaming-related channel.
Looking at the channel overall,
the Supercars predictions video comes in 2nd in terms of watch time after my long-time most popular video, the envelope edit tool tutorial. The tutorial got 72% of the watch time this quarter, with 520 minutes of watch time, with the predictions getting 3.9% and 28 minutes of watch time.In terms of views, the tutorial remains at the top with 523 (61%), and the predictions fall down to be 9th in the order with 6 views (0.7%).
Hooking an audience
One of the positives of the Supercars video is the number of viewers who aren't subscribers. What's more is that the average viewing duration doesn't just drop off after the first second, and reaches halfway through the video. In addition, one person (out of the 7) watched for 100% of the time and is from New Zealand, a prime Supercars location. This means that I'm reaching an audience. All I have to do is target them and bring them in by focusing on things that they may be interested in, while also maintaining my own interest.I also hope to collaborate with other Supercars channels such as Supercars with Shane, and Hobbo88 (mostly a racing simulator channel but he's a fan of Supercars with a fanbase that comes with it).

2019 proposition
Thinking out loud. pic.twitter.com/tbf3JYe3tW— Mabeanie Beanie (@MrMabeanie) March 16, 2018

Why I've ever had any success on YouTube
2010 - videos on popular things, but not so many videos that I burn people out.
2011 - videos on popular things, although quite a large amount of them.
2012 - none of the stuff that succeeded in previous years, and doing more seedscribers was not a good move. xmas video did well for no reason, and a video on a popular thing did well also.
2013 - no plan, just doing what i felt like. huge variety of content.
2014 - continuing with 2013's success, and bailing out before it got too repetitive.
2017 - milking friendship with ihasnotomato, variety but old stuff.
