 Hey guys welcome back to my YouTube channel this is Daniel Rosel here bringing you this video today From the usual location in the home office here in Jerusalem And as I say that I realized I really need to find a better intro For these youtube videos, but for the moment, this will do today's video is actually not about the usual stuff I talk about on these youtube videos, which is kaden live and a bunch of linux and Random stuff about israel and whatnot. I've actually been doing a bit of thinking Over the last couple of days with what I'm actually doing here putting videos up on youtube in the first place And I absolutely firstly the channel is not shutting down for those worried that this is a end of uh This is a closing down announcement not the case But I have been realizing over the past few days that I need to kind of think a little bit more about the direction I'm taking so when I started putting up videos on youtube Two years ago they're about I was just doing it because um, I've been Sort of interested in content creation for really almost as long as I can remember whether it's been blogging or podcasting I always thought video was too hard And I kind of wanted to challenge myself To just try it try putting together some videos and see how they turn out I never expected anyone would actually watch or subscribe these videos even though I've created A decent amount of videos. Um, it's still taken me kind of by surprise So as that's kind of happened the more I've got also the more I've gotten into um Running this youtube channel the more I become immersed in this world of video and actually found that I really really enjoy it Um, it's a nice blend of two passions of mine, which are firstly creativity Secondly storytelling slash journalism and thirdly Uh technology so more so than writing I find video actually Is a nice dovetail because you've got elements of creativity storytelling and you've definitely got a strong technical element So I've been completely freestyling this youtube channel as probably Anyone who's dropped in here to watch a video uh can see because the topics like one day it's israel There's been no strategy because I've never really seen this as Anything other than a hobby. I never imagined I would even get to like 800 subscribers Let alone get to like 1000 to monetize. It just really wasn't on my Radar at all. So now that that process is happening people are actually subscribing for whatever reason I'm still not entirely clear Why people are subscribing but I'm very flattered that I've reached reached even this point of uh of success on youtube And as that's happened, I'm like, okay, well if people are going to watch these videos I probably do need to Have a theme for the channel because I actually feel bad on the one hand I created youtube was the idea of just like open sourcing What I think about all my interest if you want to watch watch if you don't want to watch don't watch But then I thought well that was great But the fact that now after the fact people are watching I kind of owe them at least some kind of a consistent viewing experience um So I had to think about it and I decided that I am going to Even though it's going to be a lot of hassle and I don't really feel like doing it I'm going to set up different channels for my different interests So I want to um frisley. What are the channels going to be? That's what I need to figure out and then going to sit down with a pen and paper Sometimes soon and figure out what my needs are If anyone's been watching this youtube channel really actually following it you probably know I have Very specific interest one of those being mdisk amazing optical storage media Kaden live a video editing software. I really really actually have come to love um So those are logical ones for me where I'm going to like start a channel for kaden live daniel's kaden live tips And there's also israel. So for those who don't know I do live in israel A lot of the videos I post up here are really really basic how-to videos on anything I think might be useful to other people whether it's Here's how you find a doctor using your health service in israel or Ali express is now in israel. Here's how you buy stuff From ali express. Um, so What I've realized over the past couple of weeks is that well I don't know why anyone would actually subscribe to this channel because you might subscribe because you're like Oh cool This guy uses linux or this guy uses kaden live then you're like But I don't really care about ali express in israel So I realize that as much as I'm having great fun creating videos for youtube and uploading stuff Um, I think it's reached the point where I need to like actually separate it So the only thing I'm going to say here is right now It's nebulous as to how it's going to go if people are really interested whatever reason because I don't think I'm that interesting Maybe the stuff I talk about is interesting if whatever reason you do want to follow like the stuff I specifically put out Let me know in a comment and I'll send you links to like where the channel has gone It doesn't mean I'm not going to be uploading on the channel to the country This channel is going to be stuff that it's just kind of like random stuff that I put out Maybe it's going to be like my personal blogs and opinions about stuff but gradually my plan is for um Types of content to stop Being mushed into this channel. So it's less of a big Moshi mess. So for instance, I mentioned the M disc I'm going to set up an M disc youtube channel. So people really care about M disc They can watch me talk Until the cows come home about M disc and what it is I'm going to start one for my uh the canon xa 40 camcorder because I've gotten to Really know the camcorder pretty well And um, I think if people are really interested in the xa 40 for sure I'll start I'll have all my videos on a separate youtube channel I'm going to do one for kate in life because that again is like very specific people who use that software Can find my videos and that's kind of how you want to go and then as I sort of cut out Nishes that are best suited to separate channels. Oh, I forgot one that I've actually already set up It's called I'm looking here at my channel Switcher list. It's called living well with depression and anxiety and that's where I posted kind of my uh mental health videos where I talk about Depression and anxiety and living with those and taking medications and stuff that really is not of interest To people who aren't either engaged with mental health or have it or whatever So that's the logic that I've chosen to follow And it's going to be a slow process an ongoing process But this channel will hopefully as a result be less random or include less random things Uh, so that's where I'm going with this youtube channel and my plan other than that other than uh separating This big mushy bundle of miscellaneous content into different parts Is going to be to keep having a lot of fun with it. I'm now being paid for Some video work not by which I mean, I'm not taking on like freelance work, but I've started doing video as part of my job Uh, I've started selling stock video footage. So I guess I'm kind of a semi professional videographer now Which is kind of awesome. Never thought I'd get even here Um, so if you don't want to keep uh subscribed to whatever else is coming out here Click the subscribe button and if you want to know where else My youtube voyage has taken me, uh, leave me a comment or I'll find some well, maybe I'll put up a link tree link whatever I'll uh, let folks know. Thank you guys as ever for watching Any thoughts on how I should split this channel up? Uh, leave a comment because your Comments are great. I got I think like 10 comments today And I'm and I'm at such a small Level on youtube that I can respond to even one and they make my day, by the way Like I was getting them as I was eating dinner and I was like, oh this I can't believe someone else cares about mdisc I can't believe someone else cares about kate in life. This is awesome Uh, so right now I'm enjoying all of them. So thank you guys for watching very much and uh, thanks for engaging with the channel so far and have a good Day or night wherever you are in the world
