Is posting a video everyday a bad idea? At what point do you stop watching?

Personally, I think you should take a break from making daily videos(for like a week), and write all the ideas you have on one piece of paper, and work on them one by one. And then try to organize when you have time, and shoot the ideas. So that way, you can be proud of the video ideas you are creating, instead of the daily quick videos you are doing daily. You’d have more confidence all together.
And time’s always an issue! Don’t get me wrong. But I think you will have more self-satisfaction if you take the time to make videos and post them weekly or by-weekly than doing one everyday… Doing one every day can be draining.
You’ll work it out!
You mentioned wondering when people would start to ignore twitter updates. Just so you know, I ignore them *in the moment* – usually because I don’t have time to watch a video right at that moment. But I note in the back of my head that “Clint’s got a new video” and try to check it out when I do have time. My life’s been super-busy this semester, but I come see what’s been going on in your world at least once a week. I ain’t leavin’.
Nice chops! Anyhooo, I tried doing a video a day last month and… Now I just kind of do a video a day… I got used to it. I just wouldn’t “force” anything. I have a ton of ideas and clips I need to edit… If I can get some hotness done (recorded, edited and thrown up) then I will. If I can’t I’m like FUG IT and do it tomorrow or the next day. If it ever starts to feel like “work” it’s time to back up a little bit.
Your vids are great. THe fact that your content changes a lot makes it more worthwhile to me to visit your site. I know something new will be there everytime I go. That’s why I come back. Anyway, just my thoughts.
I think the main issue is why you decided to do a daily video. What was it that motivated you or gave you the drive or what was the point of view you wanted to show the world? If you want to show us your life and share your world with us, then quick daily vids are great. If you want to share with us your ability to put a production together and edit, then work on that a little everyday (instead of shooting a “quicky”) and post the final product weekly. Don’t be hard on yourself. We are all busy and understand. And we are all invested in you and will return to your site. Much vlog’n love!
