Possible change of direction for the VG Channel?
🕑 Added 2021-06-02 16:47:04 +0000 UTCHello my friends. I just wanted to share something that's on my mind that I want to run past you before I make this official.
As much as I like what I am doing on the VG Youtube channel, I am going to have to change direction. I am strongly considering taking the channel down an "Educational only route". This will essentially mean an end to interviews and all the usual stuff I do with more of a focus on education rather than entertainment.
Why am I doing this? Simple answer......MONEY or should I say "a lack of money". Over the nearly 3 years that I have been doing this I have really been enjoying it because I believe my persona and knowledge in my field make me good this. I have met a lot of amazing people and made some good friends and my God I am even starting to become "famous in my own little world here." The downside is that I simply cannot justify the time that goes into things such as interviews and the usual stuff I do. I have to focus on my students, YOU my Patreon community and quite frankly I have to follow the money because I am starting to struggle if I am to be brutally honest.
The reality is that the time spent on the current content is not yielding the returns and BURN OUT has become a real problem for me which my doctor told me today is probably the reason for my recent health problems. Now PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG !! This is NOT a plea for financial help, I'm simply stating the reality that I cannot financially afford to run the Youtube Channel as an entertainment channel anymore. The only way around this would be to grow my Patreon community. The problem is that I am showered with love and compliments everyday but unless people are able to join my Patreon community and help financially support what I do, I guess I am about to fold. I can do better as a coach and people will pay for that and get great value because I am a good teacher ( just ask any of my students). The current direction of my content means that everyone is happy and gets what they want for free but I am starting to struggle financially unless I change the concept. There is no other way I am afraid. I am really gutted because we were so close to getting there but I am running out of steam and resources.
I would really appreciate your thoughts and suggestions and I am sorry its come to this but I have to do what is best for my life and my family. I thank you as always to you the few, here in Patreon who truly value me and my work. VG
