I Need A Break From Social Media!
I Need A Break
From Social Media!
I have had a basic simple YouTube channel since 2018. But it has only been the last year that I have looked at my channel as a source of income. I reached the criteria to become monetized but apparently my earnings are ridiculously small. The conundrum is to create content authentically and still reach a large audience.
And collect that income, which so far has been unavailable for me to access.
Yes, I filled out the tax forms and verified my identity and took all of the other steps required.
There is so much to know about YouTube and for a creator if you don’t know what you’re doing it can be a confusing journey.
Learning about hashtags, descriptions, algorithms, thumbnails, analytics, protocol, and all of the elements that go into a successful channel is time consuming and challenging.
That is why we have experts in YouTube channel SEO.
I would rather spend my time making videos, but this is a part of the process of the business end of the process.
I have been on Facebook for a long time and initially was primarily active socially which accounts for the amount of friends. Corresponding with the YouTube channel shift, I have been adding videos now and haven’t had the time for communications with those aforementioned friends. Apologies to my Facebook friends, but I hope you enjoy my videos.
And then according to the grand plan most suggested by experts, you need to have a presence on as many social media platforms as possible. Of the available options I chose: TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and of course my own website.
Each one requires time and attention to maintain and keep healthy. And each new video I make will be posted to each platform. Each platform requires filling in different informational fields.
Again this is really time consuming work.
Work hard, play hard.
My work is the business.
My play is the creation.
I would rather be creating.
I then became a member of LinkedIn and Instagram and X.
“They“ (experts again) say we all have a breaking point where we need to stop and take a break.
It is now time for me to take a break from social media not just as a subscriber or member but as a creator. Overwhelmed and stressed between filming, editing, uploading, posting, writing descriptions, the actual filming and making of videos and dealing with each social platform I need to stop temporarily.
But not apparantly not before having made and now sharing this new video with you about why I need to take a break.
Does anyone have a beach house they are willing to share?
Any extra first class plane tickets to Europe?
Private island somewhere in the Caribbean?
My gratitude to musician LU-NI for the perfect song for this video “Que“
I think it captures the fast paced often frenetic visuals with a cool Latin vibe. Gracias.
See you on social media!
