How often to upload videos?
 

Hi All,

My YouTube channel is growing steadily, and I wanted to say a big thank you to many of the members here for your input, suggestions and ideas. (It will soon hit half a million views and already has more than 3000 subscribers)

I have created a series of how to videos, and I was wondering how often I should post them? YouTube enables you to schedule videos, so you don't actually have to be there to push the button, and I was thinking of scheduling the next couple at weekly intervals, but what do you guys think?

I posted one last week on an Tigre iPhone mount (which I fit one handed as I have a broken shoulder!), Venhill have very kindly given me some kit to play with which is another video and I have a 10 point spring motorbike check to launch.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Blimey Tamsen, how the hell did you manage to break your shoulder? Hope you're not in too much pain with it!

Re: How often to upload videos?
 

The pain is pretty bad! Turns out your muscles are attached to the top of your shoulder bone, and if you have the day to day coordination of a drunk midget on stilts like I have, when you fall and grab onto something, either your tendon snaps or your bone does! In my case it was the bone, thankfully no surgery required!

I desperately want to get back on my bike but I know I do not yet have the strength, so I need to learn a little more patience and accept that it will be only a matter of weeks until I am back on 2 wheel, it does however mean I can make a few more videos!

Well I can only wish you a speedy recovery. At least you should be ready to get back on two wheels in time for the summer!

Sorry to hear of your shoulder woes but you lost me as soon as you started talking about phone mounts...
Phones should be tucked away and switched off when riding/driving imo.
(and don't get me started on satnav and infotainment in cars)

Hope you get mended soon and back on the bike while there's still some decent weather. :)

Hi Tamsen,
Looking forward to more videos for sure! Your videos have helped with some of the jobs I have had to carry out to my k1. Thanks for your help and keep up the good work!
Hope you heal quickly and get your lovely bike going again :)

Added a pic of mine.

I am so please they have helped out!

I think your bike looks great, very tidy! It does amaze me how different they can be with and without fairings!

Hi Tamsen,

I have seen your videos and you do well.

I have a channel with 5 million views and 70K subscribers so here's my advice...

Upload as often as you can! Especially as you are a small channel.

Because you usually have access to one bike, you are usually going to be demonstrating with that bike. But obviously you can generalise a lot of subjects because many parts are the same or similar. I.e your explanation on bike engines or stuck caliper pistons.

My channel is about electronics so it has a different approach but the idea is the same.

Keep spitting out good content as often as you can, inspire others to self teach. You have to stay motivated, I know how it feels to have only a few hundred views per video and not exceeded your £60 adsense withdraw limit for months!

I started my channel because electronics was such a difficult thing to learn! And while I'm not a self-taught engineer. It was a pain in the ****! My focus was simple... Make videos that demonstrated ideas and knowledge in a way that simplified what I have learned in a way that no-one else has.

Sadly, due to a 40 hour a week job as an engineer and focusing on my electronics career. I no longer have the time to maintain my channel. I haven't uploaded for a year but my channel still continues to get 150k views a month regardless.

Resurrecting an old thread because Tamsen's videos have been noticed by "Rideapart" online magazine.

Saw this in my daily news feed as well. Got a great review, which is even nicer considering RideApart is a US-based source. Kudos Tamsen.
