Cherry-picking my 2019

Hey guys,

2019 was a weird year for my Supercars Mabeanie channel.

The numbers don't look good overall, and from my simplified graph you can see that it's looking worse than in the last few years. Keep in mind that I only posted Supercars videos throughout most of 2019, which is 5 videos.

Per video, the views were really good with 350+ on the Scott McLaughlin video and 730+ on the Resurrect a Race Team video.

I gained 10 subscribers, and am now sitting at 100. I haven't seen that big a gain since 2014.

I got 30 likes, which is very good considering the number of videos and that most of the likes went to those videos.

I got 5 comments, but they were meaningful and good conversations so I'm happy with the engagement. 

In terms of audience, my channel has changed from 18-30 year olds and gaming videos to a 30-40 year old Supercars audience. So it's looking good for 2020. I just have to get more videos done to make the most of it. No pressure though. I like to make good videos and so they'll come when they do.

Overall, it was a mixed year but per video it was really good. No regrets moving to a Supercars-only design for 2019 and beyond. I just wish that I had got all of my old content done before the year began, with that last-minute Minecraft Seedscribers video popping up on New Year's Day. Anyway, things are looking good for 2020.

On my other channels, I'm playing more Sims 3 so I could have my generational series done at some stage this year. It will go up on Mabeanie Games.

On Mabeanie Talks, today marked the first episode of a new batch of Mabeanie and Ihasnotomato videos. Of course, I still want to do conversations with other YouTubers.

Anyway, that's my update.

See Ya!

My new and exciting Supercars video

My latest and greatest Supercars video

Hey 2019 how's it going?

Hey guys,

I've just changed all of my channel names, profile pictures, and banners to suit their 2019 variants.

TheMabeanie is officially Mabeanie Games
MrMabeanie is Supercars Mabeanie
Mabeanie2 is Mabeanie Talks

I hope to get a Supercars video done soon because the channel looks like it just posts Minecraft videos, which is what happens when you stop posting Friday Night Fun and rarely post a Supercars video. In the first half of this year, I'll post my 2019 predictions when the silly season ends and the opening season test is over, and either before or after it will be my Scott McLaughlin theory on how many championships he can win.

Mabeanie Games will continue getting Friday Night Fun, and I hope to post some Rocket League videos and do a Sims 3 series.

I have no ideas for Mabeanie Talks at the moment, apart from doing discussion videos with some of my fellow YouTubers like Mickell Pickell and Donald Duck The Viking.

I half-arsed the 2019 banners, and will probably do some better ones later in the year.

That's your update.

See Ya!

Simona Supercars video coming soon

Hey guys,

My next Supercars video is nearly ready. This morning I have done a bit of editing for it. I changed the editing style slightly as well. At the moment, I don't have an intro or outro for it, and I haven't put the references on the clips, but it's looking pretty solid. It is half as long as the retirement video, being 10 minutes long rather than 22.

I'm still not proud of it, but I do want to produce Supercars videos and definitely want to have more than one done by the end of the year.

I might do a video on this year's silly season, as I've done a lot of thinking about who would go where for next year's championship.

I'm going to make the Simona thumbnail, get in touch with Mickell Pickell about doing a chat series on Mabeanie2, and then probably do more Supercars stuff. I've been pretty obsessed with Supercars lately, checking my sources for news and listening to podcasts at lunch time. Next weekend is the season finale, so I'll probably take time off doing Supercars things for a bit after that.

Anyway, that's your update.

See Ya!

Slowly getting there

Hey guys,

So again I come to report on my progress on my next Supercars video.

As I described in a previous post, I'm looking for a topic that really clicks with me. I'm slowly getting there. I have 3 ideas in the works that I am the most passionate about: Simona De Silvestro and difficulty in the category, the changing of the guard and when exactly it happens, and when the most competitive seasons were.

The first two are my biggest favourites, with the changing of the guard probably being my first preference. It's a complicated topic that demands preciseness, which makes it a little fun. It's so complicated that half of that idea is just coming to a solid idea of what a changing-of-the-guard is, how to spot it, and when it has happened in the past. So far my answer has been that such a change happens almost every season. It's a slow and ongoing process. So then I've gone on and on, getting really tangled in it. Like I said, it's a little fun.

The Simona one is an issue that gets to the heart of how freaking difficult it is to get in and stay in the category. Dismissing a driver as just being not good enough is unfair if you consider all of the factors that go into results.

I think that the changing of the guard one will probably go first. It's more personal to me, so I want to talk about it.

So that's your update for my future reference.
Enjoy! Just generally.

See Ya!

Assassin's Creed 2 LP over

Hey guys,

Tuesday was the final episode of my Assassin's Creed 2 series. Obviously I didn't finish the game, and when I last attempted to record for it the game wouldn't work because of some error with Uplay.

Anyway, now TheMabeanie will have mainly Friday Night Fun videos, which this month will be more commonly posted there due to the plan. There will be 75% of Friday Night Fun videos on TheMabeanie. This channel probably took the longest to... Actually no, Mabeanie2 hasn't had a video that is in keeping with the plan yet, so TheMabeanie is the second slowest with MrMabeanie still waiting for its next Supercars video.

It's a difficult position to be in, but I know that it's what I want to do. The plan is all about being true to myself and doing what I want, rather than what I think I should do.

So now the lack of gaming videos will become more noticeable on MrMabeanie, with Seedscribers having a few more videos to go before I have done an episode for everyone. TheMabeanie might become a more pleasant channel with videos that I want to make actually going there. Friday Night Fun in general has been struggling to get views, but I think that it's because of the games that I'm choosing to play. I have a video idea, but will probably go on to TheMabeanie.

Anyway, that's your update.

See Ya!
