Decisions...

6/7/2017

So at the moment, I am trying to figure out how I can do everything in my life since Jack left the shop.

I realised yesterday, I can't.

I cant run a shop, online stores, 3 you tube channels, all the conventions i attend, writing books and enjoy any form of social life I have.
I have already stopped accepting new comic cons until I have more manageable staff.
I am debating moving my store to a more manageable rent space to remove the pressure there but there is also no point making business decisions until I know what is going on with the pilot I filmed for in London.

If I had a normal 9 to 5 job it wouldn't be so much of an issue but my shop comes home with me because it has to. I can not remember the last time I went to sleep before 3am because I'm doing so much work and STILL not getting it all done.

So I have finally admitted defeat and think I need to reduce my time spent on YouTube. Making sure up to 3 videos a day are filmed, edited, uploaded, tagged, scheduled with thumbnails adds up very quickly. It wont be forever, but for now. I thought I would ask you guys for advice and ideas first.

So here is what I have decided so far.

VLOGGING CHANNEL : Nothing changes, I get so much joy from doing my vlogs that even though I do not earn anything off them, it really doesnt matter, Its so easy to film and not too timely to edit compared to my main channel videos, plus I love the community that has built up with in that channel.

GAMING CHANNEL : So I brought the channel back with the intention of doing a video every day. It doesn't seem like too much work but honestly, at the moment, dedicating that much time to play, edit and upload is actually not possible (for now) but I can easily still do the channel with one or two videos a week and it's still great so no issue there.

MAIN CHANNEL : ????? --- This is where I struggle...
I used to do one video a week, like story times, and videos about me etc or my movie reviews etc. And, to me, that made sense because other youtubers do that.
Doing only one comic review a week doesn't make sense to me, which is why i did a video every day of the week. A video a day also made a clear brand and time schedule but it's just too much stress and pressure for me at the moment.

However this is where I am struggling at the moment. I don't know what to do with this channel right now. I don't know whether just to make the channel about me again for now and just upload once a week etc or if that would lose subscribers?

For some reason, the schedule HAS to make sense to me but I also wonder if i am putting far too much thought into this. URH.

What do you guys think and please be brutally honest. If I stopped the comic review for now, would you think my channel would be losing something too important? Is that the only reason you watch that channel? Would you be glad for more 'TorAthena' content? Do you have an answer for my schedule dilema?

I turly believe no one can know what your limit is better than yourself. You are one of the busiest people i know and have to say i have always wondered how you managed. In relation to the schedule changes i believe not having the comic post reduces i honestly think that it is something you love and that a lot of your following may come from sharing that passion with you and maybe lowering that standard may not be the best option. However i do think you have a strong solid and loyal "fanbase" so im sure many like myself will understand whichever decision you choose to make. Just remem to step back take a deep breath and do what you gotta do for you aswell.

I'm sure you have your reasons and forgive my naivety, but I've never quite understood why you need to have 3 separate channels. Couldn't you just do everything under the 'Torathena' banner on youtube? Preface every video title with either 'Personal', 'Gaming' or 'Comic' and your followers can choose which to watch.

As for your business side of things, where are you thinking of moving to? One of the reasons I haven't moved is that for now Grand Central is still the cheapest. If you've found somewhere cheaper let me know!!!

The main reason I have not put them all under one channel is because YouTube actually recommends you don't. Having a clear brand keep subscribers instead of flooding their feed with something they don't want or only half enjoy x
Also, bluntly speaking, when I have time to do it, its 3 separate channels making me money and not just one x

Aha! Gotcha.

In the end I think it'll come down to weighing up effort & expenditure vs reward. Don't stress yourself out over something that isn't making you money.

I love your vlogs and think that might be the least difficult to keep up, honestly.

On a creepier and slightly less serious note, sponsor me a work visa and a place to live and I'll be more than happy to fly over and work for you to help lighten the load a bit! Ha!

But seriously, I love your vlogs. Keep to those. I don't really watch the other channels as much. I mean, I watch them. But your vlogs are the only vids I look forward to.

Hi Lucy,

You pack a lot into your life currently, so much that you need to be careful of burnout.

Your suggestions as regards your main channel all make sense - if it reduces your workload and makes you feel better, then go for it.

Keep an eye on the viewing numbers.

As regards the pilot in London, having been involved in many preproduction shows, my best advice is not to hold on to any proposals, but to concentrate on what's working for you money - wise, and then give attention to any production once contracts are available to sign.

As an example, a production I'm currently involved in looked to have all green for go in april, contracts signed, and now it's ground to a complete halt.

Possibly resume in September, but no guarantee of that.

My ultimate goals in life was to startup a family with a man who permanently wants me always as the only woman in his life, a man that only wants a future with me and his desires to be with and around me to be uncontrollable. A man that will turn a deaf ear to nothing or anyone trying to separate us.
My goals where achieved 2 years ago; I must confess that our marriage was fine until someone somewhere started interfering, pushing and putting negative thoughts in his head out of envy. As days goes by, the atmosphere around us looked fine and automatically did a complete 360, we went from living together, talking, texting and such all-day every-day to barely anything at all. We separated because of the rumor that I couldn’t bear a child. It was a lie told by someone who envied our peaceful marriage.
I sought the help of Dr. Wakina via (dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com) according to reviews I read online and on radio about his work. I found total justice, redemption and restoration through his love spell after months of broken heart. Our enemies where proven wrong the moment my husband comeback to me. I believe there will also go blind after seeing me pregnant.
All hail Dr. Wakina for reinstituting my marriage.

I pray you find a reason to smile again after reading this article about how I learnt the true reason to forgive my partner.

One thing I searched but couldn’t find was a reason to forgive my partner for cheating, I felt confident to hold him against his deeds because my mind already generated hatred towards everything related to him. I didn’t understand the true meaning of forgives and letting go forever even when I know I miss him.

So he left because I became unmarriageable.

After several failed attempt to change my mentality and also reconcile with my partner, faith connected me to DR. WAKINA (dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com). Through DR. WAKINA I understood that forgiving and letting go forever will benefit me more because forgiveness act as an antidote for anger/hatred and prosperity in life.

At the end I forgave him sincerely followed by a strong love spell from DR. WAKINA along with my supplications. Everything I lost was restored in hundredfold as well as my wishes.

Love spell exceeded my expectations.

I want to tell a secret to those of us; who their relationship/ marriage is going into misery beyond repair. And first before I begin, I want to first assure you readers, that there is no situation without a solution. Don’t leave that your horrible marriage you are almost fed up with…instead of running, why not stand to fight peace into it?? There is no strong marriage that has true love that is without a fight, and there is also no marriage that is without the experience of sweet and sour. With the one I experience, that I thought it’s finished there is nothing anybody can do about it. It’s was so hopeless to that level that I never believe it can be restored back again. God directed me to and open my eyes that those errors and mistakes in marriage if been corrected, these are the things that makes a strong marriage. With dr.usman, I was able to get him back, after 7 months of total separation. During before that time I got him back…I have no life without him and can’t imagine myself laying into another man arms after I have already spend so much years in a relationship with my husband before we now finally got married with the help of the great dr.usman…and that was when I noticed, that we women, we are the cause of most of our problems. And I want to give you an insight prove for that…most of our ladies are lucky with good men who truly have love in their heart; and almost of them don’t the value gift of a good man. while others, are sorrowing love over a man who doesn’t love them. Pls, readers. If you read this comment and you have been facing sorrow with your love one’s, I want to tell you that, the end of that sorrow and misery is done. dr.usman, is the key you need to open every close doors of happiness, rejoice, love and satisfaction into that you relationship. I will help you by leaving his email below” contact him and cry to him for help. and let him help you to get out of that misery you don’t belong to. dr.usmanspellcaster@gmail.com or marrege him on whatsapp 08064080208 is his direct email and he will reply back and help you with whatever problems you want him to help for. And pls be obedient to follow instructions.. thanks to you the great father of love.

I started seeking for help when I was desperate to see the good in my life because I was blinded by deception, expecting loyalty from a man who can’t be honest with himself. For 2 years’ happiness seems overrated while depression and anxiety took over my life.
One of the hardest thing I did was not not moving on because I trust my marriage will work again someday.
During the search to regain my sight and improve my marriage, I came across this email dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com owned by Dr.Wakina love spell master. Immediately after a successful love spell was cast, my life was given a meaning, my husband changed his attitudes and started focusing on me and the family. He became my everything. We became truthful to ourselves.
I appreciate the time and effort he (Dr. Wakina) put into giving our lives a meaning.
