LOL....<br /><br />I do think that there's a large, untapped audience out there - particularly out of the younger demographic - that hasn't been pursued. In much the same way that Facebook moved beyond it's college-student roots, I think, potentially at least, YouTube and the like could find an expanded community (as opposed to casual viewers) in the wider population.Rickflixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851091100831706043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119893162712599171.post-66060614341484540242011-08-19T07:18:54.665-07:002011-08-19T07:18:54.665-07:00Agreed that there's an audience for everybody ...Agreed that there's an audience for everybody ... even you or (gulp) me.<br /><br />To your question above, is it worth it for an audience of 10, or 30, or 100? For me it is. Sticking to just the video aspect of it, when I started on YT five years ago, I had no idea if anybody would watch. I created that first content only for myself.<br /><br />YT being what it was then (sparsely populated), I found an audience nearly right away, and was creating content for hundreds, then even a few thousand very quickly. And, I think to some degree, having that audience shaped what I was doing with video.<br /><br />Now, five years on, my life (and daily schedule) is very different, and I don't have the time to be creating videos every few days - I'm lucky if I post something every two months. The audience has contracted back to 100 or so per video.<br /><br />And I don't really care. Because the videos I do now are, once again, the videos I make only for myself. That there's still a few good people who like to watch them and comment is very nice, and I appreciate it. But I'd still do it even if five people watched.<br /><br />My blogging story is much longer, but pretty much follows similar lines. I create what (and when) I need to create - not what I think will sell.<br /><br />Now... to your last question, why do YOU do it? The babes. Definitely. You do it to meet chicks. ;^)Ken Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352088132228110064noreply@blogger.com
