 But what I'm gonna do is I'm going to hang a shelf right here. And good afternoon, everyone. How we doing? Hope you had a great weekend. We're back in the studio diving in. Before we get to the critical questions of the day, really important today, here's some art from Seth and it's Papa running up a mountain. He said, make sure the YouTube family sees my artwork and hang it up in the studio. So there we go. We're hanging it up in the studio right there. All right, I did not film today's six mile run because, yes, this is still broken. I ordered a new one today, so it should arrive by tomorrow. So we'll be back in business for filming the runs, but I did not take the GoPro with me today because this is broken and it's on its way out. So six miles today, 10K, seven, 10 a mile in the Nike React Infinity Run Flynits. There they are. And somebody commented on, I think Twitter asking, do I clean my shoes? Cause these are white and they're getting really dirty really quickly. I rarely clean the shoes. It's just way too much work to keep them clean. So I can tell that these are going to be brown before too long, but it was a great run. Definitely the fastest I've gone. And there it is. I think I already showed you in kilometers on your screen. So definitely the fastest I've ran since coming back from the runner's knee. All as well, pain scale of zero. Okay, what is the goal of today's vlog? The goal is to figure out for me how I can serve you better moving forward through this YouTube channel. Okay, remember back in December, about a month ago, I asked this question in this vlog. It was titled, you decide the future of this channel. And in that, well, I'll just play it for you. This is the question of the day from that vlog. What vlog ideas or vlog categories would you like to see me focus on in 2020? And so from that vlog, from the question of the day, down in the comments, I've saved the link to that vlog so I can go back and reference your answers for ideas for the vlog moving forward in 2020. For example, there was a lot of comments sharing about how they love when I go up into the mountains and film and take the drone and get those beautiful mountain shots. I love doing that as well. And because the knee is feeling better, that's gonna be returning to the channel sooner rather than later. Now, as the channel has continued to evolve and grow, just so everyone knows, the channel started out as a daily life vlog channel. It was not focused on running, okay? But then about a year and a half ago, I started to publish more running content, maybe like once a week and once a week. And then I was like, wait a minute. Oh, people are kind of responding to this a little bit more. And sure enough, over the course of about three months, we started to grow. And I think what YouTube realized is like, oh, this channel has some decent running content. Let's continue to serve it up to other people on YouTube who are interested in running. So that was basically October 2018. October 2018, so about 15 to 16 months ago. And now look where we have arrived. So I wanna take you to the homepage of the YouTube channel real quick. Here it is on your screen, just so you can see it. So there is the homepage. It looks a little, it might look a little different because I'm logged in, but it's basically what you are looking at as well. Here's a little motivation video that I made for 2020, about a two minute video. A lot of people enjoyed watching that. And then just below it are the playlist, okay? So right here are the running vlogs. So every single day, a new video appears right there. There's today's that published at 5 a.m. this morning, the go run ride eight first impressions and on and on. And then if you use this arrow over here, you can navigate to older ones, okay? You recognize all those thumbnails. And then as you scroll down, running shoe reviews is the next playlist, running shoe first impressions, running race vlogs, okay? You recognize this, Western States, Pikes Peak, Amsterdam, New York City, on and on and on. And then the next playlist, popular uploads, how to run faster, Nike running shoes, Solomon running shoes. And then at the very bottom, the running questions and answers, which is really turning into something I'm really enjoying where I can field your questions in a weekly video. So that is the homepage. Oh, and I don't see the bell on mine because it's my own YouTube channel, but somewhere around here is usually the bell. Okay, let me just pull up real quick here. Now as a creator, again, I have embraced the fact that there's no way I can serve everyone exactly like they would want me to. For example, right now, I'm publishing a lot of new videos about running shoes. Why? Because I have a lot of new running shoes in my house because I was unable to run well for about three to four weeks, so the shoes piled up, okay? So that's why I'm playing a little bit of catch up right now, like the Skechers, like the A6 Gel Nimbus Light, et cetera, et cetera. And I know a lot of people subscribe to this channel just for the fact that I incorporate the family into the daily vlog. I know some people subscribe just for the beautiful mountain trail and ultra running vlogs, okay? I know some people subscribe just for the running race vlogs, all right? I know some people subscribe just for the Q and A's because they're just so passionate about absorbing information about this sport that they're just here to learn. They're not really here to be entertained and that's awesome. That's great and I love it. So with that said, the questions of the day, I have, I'm always discerning and always trying to figure out once again, how to serve you as best as possible. So for these questions of the day, there's three of them. They're all gonna be number answers, okay? And I would love if you answered something like this. You see right here, basically just like this, down in the comments, A, B and C, all right? A, B and C and then a number just after, if you could, all right? So that's gonna be the format for the questions of the day and just so you know, tell the truth. Tell the truth, the more honest you are with me, you're not gonna hurt my feelings, okay? The more honest you are with me, the better I will be able to serve you moving forward. All right, that is the key. Just tell the truth, all right? So A, B or C, all right? So here we go and I'm gonna try and word these questions as best as possible. I might have to repeat myself a little bit as I usually do anyways. All right, here we go. Questions of the day. And this is again, I'm gathering data, gathering information from your experience on this channel so I can learn how to serve you better. Number A, question one, A, all right? On average, how many videos per month do you watch on this channel? For example, if you watch the vlog every single day but you don't watch any additional videos, meaning you don't go back into the archive at all, that would be 30 or 31, okay, for A, all right? 30 or 30, if you just watch the vlog every single day but you don't go back and watch old videos. If you do go back, if you watch every vlog and you watch maybe 10 old videos, that would be 40, okay? If you watch once a week, perfect, put four. If you watch twice a month, put two. I don't care what, just tell the truth, okay? Really, think about it. Maybe you watch five days a week, then you can do the math to figure out what that number should be, okay? So that's A, thank you, thank you, thank you. This is so important for me to listen to. Number B, this is also critical, here we go. B, number B, sorry. B, okay, how do I phrase this? How much of the vlogs do you watch on average? Meaning, do you usually, now think on average, do you usually get through, as you're watching one vlog, do you get through 50%? Do you get through 90% of the vlog? Maybe you only watch 30%. All right, so how far into the vlogs on average do you get? Maybe it's 100%, maybe no matter what, you watch all the way to the end, which means all the way through those end screens that you see and you can click on old vlogs. If you watch all the way through, it's 100. If you usually just watch like 10 to 20%, just to get a feel for what the vlog is and then you usually click away, whatever. So on average, what percentage of the vlogs do you finish? Yeah, does that make sense? I'm overthinking it. Just how much through the vlog do you usually, maybe it's 80, maybe it's 70. Again, just tell the truth, just tell the truth. Thank you, thank you, thank you. One more, one more, here we go. C, knowing your life in viewing habits, what would be the ideal length in time for you to watch over 90% of the daily vlog? So I'm looking for a time answer. So is it three minutes? Is it eight minutes? Is it 20 minutes? So what length of vlog, so this is a really, really, really, really critical. Most of the vlogs right now are between 10 and 14 minutes because what I'm trying to discern and figure out is what length of daily vlog do you have time for to watch 90% of the vlog? Okay, so maybe it's 90 seconds, maybe it's six minutes, maybe it's 17 minutes. Honesty is all I'm looking for. You guys rock, thank you, thank you, thank you. Again, the answer is to these questions of the day and sorry, I got a little excited there but I'm just, again, I'm just trying to discern how to serve you better moving forward. All right, thank you, so fun and we're not done. Vlog's not over. I'm gonna do a little workout here in the studio. Family's taking a nap right now. Maybe we'll get the family and the vlog here in a little bit but what I'm gonna do is I'm going to hang a shelf right here. Okay, there it is on the back wall. I'll have to get a better light to shine on that but that is the shoe. Again, just memories for my sake mostly to just keep plugging away, just keep plugging away. Okay, I'm gonna call the vlog there. I hear the family waking up inside so I'm gonna head inside and yeah, wrap up the weekend. Again, hope you had a great weekend. Thank you, thank you, thank you for answering the questions of the day as just give me the truth, just give me the truth. Speak the truth today, okay? Onward and upward, here in the studio. Oh, have a great week, have a great week. All right, oh man, I don't even know what I'm gonna toss it back to on the right. I will pick a vlog for the right and the left. Vlogs on the right and the left that maybe you haven't seen before in the past. Just a couple random ones from yesterday year. All right, everyone, thanks for being here. Thanks for watching. Seek beauty, work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow.
