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.

Big Changes on my YouTube channels
Hey guys,
Since Ihasnotomato launched Ihasnotomato Draws, and explained how he came to the decision, I've been thinking about making similar changes to my channels.
For almost 8 years, I've been doing gaming videos. This doesn't represent the way that I see myself anymore.
Right now, I want to change the following:
Tomato launched Ihasnotomato Draws because he wanted to draw (no pun intended) more attention to his artwork and related projects. Another factor was that the drawing videos were considered by his viewers to be extra content to his TF2 content, rather than equally important.
The situation is very different on my own channels.
TheMabeanie has never had any videos that take attention away from gaming videos, and has been more about gaming than MrMabeanie due to the former's focus on Let's Plays. If I move Friday Night Fun onto TheMabeanie, and have all gaming content be on TheMabeanie, then this may serve to reinvigorate TheMabeanie and improve its standing amongst my channels.
Mabeanie2 has always been the junior of the three channels. Its content has always been extra to MrMabeanie, and I would like to do more videos in which I talk about things. So Mabeanie2 will become equal next to its older brothers and also serve a more unique purpose.
The channel that I'm most concerned about is MrMabeanie, because I don't expect my passion to last forever. Of course, there is nothing wrong with changing things when necessary, and I haven't come up with very many ideas on what videos I could do. This is mainly because I haven't been focused on that part.
Just thinking out loud :)
See Ya!

MrMabeanie is not about anything in particular. I run Friday Night Fun as well as a bunch of different series on Mondays. One of my greatest passions is Supercars, and I think that it will be a good change to reorganise all of my channels to represent me better.

What Really Matters
Hey guys,
I've been talking about doing a big change on my channels, but the problem here is that I should focus on preparing for my final semester at Uni rather than doing big things on YouTube.
I want to do Supercars-related content on MrMabeanie, but it won't be suitable for my studies.
I procrastinated a lot last year, and this impacted on my self-confidence and grades at Uni. When I procrastinated, I focused on Supercars. Yesterday I decided not to have anything to do with Supercars during the semester. I will also spend every day, including weekends, working on my assignments. This makes February a time for preparation. I will certainly miss out on the first half of the Supercars season, but I will probably watch the second half.
My focus on my studies is not about getting a chance to do further studies. I'm tired of studying. However, I am due to graduate at the end of the semester. I don't think it's fair on myself or anybody who has supported me to carry on as I have been (especially in the past year) and scrape passes on my assignments. I've spent enough time at Uni to know that time and effort makes good assignments. I think that it's the right thing to do, as much as it hurts to feel that I will be without one of my greatest passions for half a year. Perhaps I will feel more passionate when I return. Having recently pledged $125 to be a Team Member of Garry Rogers Motorsport, I will hopefully feel very happy about my decision to do the right thing and focus on my studies.
In addition, I am trying to have videos (on all of my channels) scheduled into June/July, or as long as the recording sessions have allowed on AIM Industries. I intend to have another one or two recording sessions with Ihasnotomato before the end of the month, just to make sure that everything will run like clockwork in the first half of 2018.
Thanks and See Ya!

Pretty busy
Hey guys,
So I returned to my channels and the first thing that became apparent was that I wasn't prepared. Many of the videos aren't ready for uploading. Some things on TheMabeanie are fine. Bioshock and Assassin's Creed 2 don't need much changing, and neither does MCBS: CC.
The real problem is having all of the videos, when they are scheduled, titled, described, and tagged. If YouTube was the only thing I did, then there wouldn't be many excuses. Because I also make comics, and I'm trying to release an anniversary comic this month, I don't give myself much time to work on YouTube. Of course, I should make sure that I instantly get cracking on this sort of stuff as soon as I'm dressed.
I'm just not motivated to do it when I don't get many views. Another thing is that I'm reconsidering my approach almost every day. The Let's Plays are not my favourite thing, and neither is what I'm uploading to MrMabeanie, so I want to makes changes to the content. I'm a little inspired by the content that Ihasnotomato releases, and want to create content that makes MrMabeanie look like what it's supposed to be - a high quality channel.
Right now, the plan is to upload everything that I've recorded over the years as I intended. Then, when everything has dried up - although the channels all have different amounts of content - I will start releasing videos that I'm more excited about. On MrMabeanie, Friday Night Fun will stay, but the content on Mondays will probably change. I have no ideas for TheMabeanie. Maybe Mabeanie2 will change.
I will continue to ponder.
See Ya!

Hello Tumblr
It’s been a few months since I blogged in any way. I’ll copy this over to Blogger tomorrow (I didn't).
It’s Sunday, which means that by choice I am off the computer. It’s new year’s eve and I’ve had a bad year at uni in terms of grades. My comics have been going fine, with two coming out this year. That’s the average, with the most being three in 2010. December was also the 10-year anniversary of my comics. I wanted to make something special and release it around the anniversary time, but my prioritisation of uni meant that everything except for it and YouTube was kept in the back of my mind. When I procrastinated on uni work, it had a worse effect on comics and magazines. I spent time learning about the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship. I could have made a magazine or worked on my comics, but I did not.
There are a few ways of making up for these shortcomings. I could declare 2018 the anniversary year of my comics. I could quickly make the celebratory comic right now, but I’m exhausted from working on things all year. I could just decide not to do the comic, but that’s too easy. I may just do the celebratory comic in January and apologise for its lateness.
I will dwell on this.

Historic Screenshots of Mabeanie2 channel
Mabeanie2:
Launched 17th September, 2013.
Not very old, but for a YouTube channel it is. A lot can happen in a year, but that can also apply to anything really. I guess that, along with anything online, a YouTube channel can change a lot in only a few years. But here are the screenshots of my third personal channel.
Channel art probably changed on the 22nd of February 2017.
Okay, that's the lot! Hopefully you enjoyed looking at my screenshots. Maybe you have some of your own that you'd like to share with me. Go ahead!
See Ya!
