what I love the most about your videos is how you show your struggles, either business related or just about life in general. it just makes everything so real and relatable 😊💜
I would be more than happy if you posted every other week. Taking care of yourself and your needs is so important. It will also shine through on camera. I appreciate your honesty about it! It makes me feel less alone.
I agree…it’s lovely to see someone just doing what they can…I’d rather see authenticity and how it is…I wouldn’t see anything as ‘boring’, I see it as real and just how things go occasionally x
I usually don’t wait for a specific moment of posting for anybody. When I see a new video of a channel I’m subscribed I watch it when I can, so I don’t think you have to worry about it.
I totally agree that you should just go easy on yourself. Consistency is a good thing but it definitely can lead to burnout which is never good. If you need the system or process to ensure you feel less stressed, I would try blocking certain creative tasks together and break it up for the month instead of weekly. remember small businesses aren’t corporations, which is why they are special and don’t need to be perfect all the time. Imperfect and honest can be more genuine and I think that really resonate with others. Also, sometimes we have seasons in our life where spending time with friends and family is more important and that’s what will help inspire and fuel your energy to keep running your small business. Don’t let those special moments get away stressing about your biz. Your community will be here when you’re ready to jump in again. ❤ 😊
I've been there and currently taking a break from my youtube channel. Some of my recommendations is take lots of B roll you can use in upcoming videos, incorporate more face to camera footage where you just sit there and talk, you can film these ahead of time in one sitting for various videos, and maybe try to film videos ahead of schedule so you can have a few already scheduled so you won't be so busy trying to keep that deadline. You could also do more chill videos where you just relax, a day in the life, and such. You could also just do some recap videos, what did I do this week etc. Remember it is your business, you decide your schedule and what you work on and when. I always take a day or two after a few events to relax and reset.
I feel exactly the same as you lovely. It feels so overwhelming to keep up with everything. I love your videos, as they resonate with me. Just be authentic and do what you can ❤
Thank you for making real content and not pretending everything is perfect! It's helped me so much in this season of starting my business and nothing going my way :)
Thank you so much for my order Abi, its all super cute. Fastest delivery of a small business ever. Regarding filming, take some pressure off yourself and post videos when you can. It can easily become another chore, which sucks the energy and fun out of you. Take a break if you need to.
I also work full time, and run a small business ( a blog, etsy, pinterest, and youtube) I recently had too much going on and took a break from youtube and my blog for about a month. Came back refreshed with new content ideas, still taking a break from youtube though. Sometimes we just can't do it all, and it may be best to focus on less things. And put the effort in to just one or two items, instead of too many.
Such a great video, totally can relate to being stressed and not having enough time , take care of yourself we are all here to watch whenever you post. No pressure x
Dont worry about what people want..do what makes you happy, post when you like..draw what you like..when you are happy with what you are doing it will all come easier
I m going to watch you when everyou post that why I have notifications turn on Its ok to take a break I learned that as a small business owner life likes to life no matter what we are here for you no matter when you post I rather you post when it works for you than to be stressing I love your content sso i will continue to watch and its ok to vent let that stuff out I'm here for it all it helps me out as well keep posting and do what works for you sis!🥰
Dear Abi, I’ve been watching you since the start, you are fabulous! I love the content you create however, you would benefit from releasing yourself from the pressure. I’m happy to see a video once a month, what matters is that if you push this hard you will end up ill as your body will force you to take a break. Be kind to yourself, your supporters will be here,regardless!
I was feeling like this last year and sometimes you gotta let certain things go - like people not knowing when you post, that’s okay!! That’s something that can give. It’s all about priorities - if the priority is better content instead of a rigid schedule you could also grow from that too while it’s less stressful. Priorities are so hard to decide but it’s something you gotta do when you have sooo many competing priorities. Figure out how important certain things are to you and the life you’re trying to create for yourself by giving them a score or something where everything doesn’t have the same level of importance if that makes sense 😅 you can do it🎉
I’ve two gaming channels and on one I do voiceovers, so I agree with you on voiceovers. I really sit there like um what do I say 😂? Also I want to say I enjoy your vlogs and I hope you feel better.
Seems like you need to take a break. People will always be there and your health and well being is much more important than all this. Without it you don’t have a business… just take a break. It’s not easy to work full time and have a whole business. I’m doing the same thing and trying my best not to stress about being able to do it all (full time job, own business, husband and kids😅). A clog twice a month would totally fine. Take care ❤
It is quite quiet this month. My sale shave not slowed but the amount of money people are spending are smaller, but that also could be that I now have listed some more affordable items. I am probably a much smaller business than you and I am aiming for 1 sale a day.... im at about 3 sales a week.
If you feel very uncomfortable cutting out the consistency of posting a video on a certain day and time: try biweekly on a set day! And if you have some energy and motivation left, you can still put out different videos whenever. And we‘ll just be happy for the bonus haha ❤
Don't sweat the small stuff....its all small stuff, love your youtube videos, wont make a difference if you post on a different day, or longer time between each, just do what makes you happy and feel good :) Good Luck !
I think every 2 weeks could work? so u still have a plan , and not just picking at random and realising that days have just been running away cuz u had no specific day of posting planned
I upload videos loosely one a mounth. That's all I got in me to do. I work full time fixing a house and have my small buisness. U can also make ur videos shorter. Gonna be honostly. I don't have time to watch ur video every week. I will sometimes bindge watch and catch up. The last couple weeks I've found time. But sometimes I'll go 2 or so weeks without watching. Ur in my feed and youtube pushes u I just have limited viewing times.
Do what works for you - secoinding that once a fortnight would be fine, maybe for a couple of months just so you can have some more fun time this summer, or shorter videos - I think your standards for "interesting" are higher than mine, I like the mundane stuff,,,
If you feel overwhelmed you really should post less frequently. Maybe cut out every second video. Like not every week one but every second week. Use designs you already have to create new items. Stick to what you already have for a little while. It is more important that you are okay instead of "suiting" your life to your current habits that are no good for you. And if your subscriber really like and appreciate you they will understand. Go easy on yourself. I know what I am talking about. I have seen it from my mother and myself until I found a way to deal with everything. For me it was Affirmation and everything that belongs to this topic. Since then I have more time for myself, get everything done faster and more effortlessly... I could go on and on. Your brain will be (maybe already is) in a fog and will/is probably not working righ. Which, eventually, leads into a messy brain, messy work, messy relationships - if you know what I mean. Please, avoid this devil's trap. Sending you love

Change is good! Take care of yourself. Randomly posting is good.
You could try 3 of 4 Thursdays a month or every 10 days 1st, 10th & 20th?
Your sword earrings are cool!
Hahah thank you! I got them from a local market ☺
@@AbiNova oh nice!! Good purchase!

dont mind what other people think. Think of your own health and post when you feel good. Don't stress about that.

Please don't put too much pressure on yourself ❤ if not having a set posting day works better for you then go for it
It is quite quiet this month. My sale shave not slowed but the amount of money people are spending are smaller, but that also could be that I now have listed some more affordable items. I am probably a much smaller business than you and I am aiming for 1 sale a day.... im at about 3 sales a week.

Post when you can take care of yourself well wait for video well stay here

Do whatever works for you. Sounds to me like you're in creative burnout; nothing really fixes that but some amount of rest. Get rest!
Lol, just count out 100, then weigh them, then just weigh the rest, save counting them
Do what works for you - secoinding that once a fortnight would be fine, maybe for a couple of months just so you can have some more fun time this summer, or shorter videos - I think your standards for "interesting" are higher than mine, I like the mundane stuff,,,

Your brain will be (maybe already is) in a fog and will/is probably not working righ. Which, eventually, leads into a messy brain, messy work, messy relationships - if you know what I mean.
