    Is UA-cam for everyone? No. But does it have immense power as a marketing tool? HELL YES.

      I have a Patreon, but honestly, I've never done anything with it. I believed in what I thought was the original model - to bring back the opportunity for people to become patrons of their favorite artists, so that those artists could concentrate on their artwork. Da Vinci and many others had patrons, and this is how they survived. Patreon is.. not. It seems to me that it's more a place for artists to make money by teaching other artists, rather than for pure patronage. I've been thinking about this for a while, so I'll definitely check out your other vid, thanks. And thanks for this one. You settled my mind on something I've struggled-with: Consolidating all of my various sites and social media together, and turning my UA-cam channel into more a creative haven, rather than a location for a single type of thing.

    UA-cam is without a doubt my favorite place on the internet and I highly agree with you on this topic. It has been a game changer for me in so many aspects of my life, and even though I'm not monetized as of now, I'm working hard trying to build my channel up to that point where it will allow me to work full time on my art and creative work. Hopefully I'll get to that point soon! UA-cam is also a wonderful FREE resource for education for many and most of the skills that I've learned in the last 10 years or so has come from UA-cam. I definitely believe that the future of many things is UA-cam. 😊

    I think most artists on youtube are doing basic studio vlogs because youtube is straight up a second job. I love the idea of creating high quality youtube videos, but it takes so much time and effort : we need to publish at least 1 video a week to grow our channel, meaning that every week, we not only have to do our actual job of creating art , running a business, etc. But also having a full on second job of planning, documenting, editing.. a video. It takes a lot of energy to create meaningful art, i think it also takes as much to create wonderful videos. It is very challenging and i have been finding myself to be spreading myself too thin, especially as it is the beginning of my art journey. I don't understand how we can make and sell art while also managing a youtube channel full time. If we spend all of our time creating youtube video, we have less time making actual art. And then priorities change and we become content creator instead of actual artist because we spend more time on it. I see my favorite creators burning out and a part of me is scared this would happen.

    • @KelseyRodriguez
      @KelseyRodriguez  Рік тому +29

      A lot of channels both established and starting out really don't upload once a week. Valerie Lin uploads like once a month and has from the beginning. Megan Wang uploads every other week, same with Paloma AFAIK. Leigh does like once a month or something now. I think the era of a weekly studio vlog is ending. You're right, artists need more time to make art & make a quality video. The answer is to this is to just upload a bit less. Once a week is great when you're making UA-cam a habit and learning the ropes, but after a while it's not sustainable and you need to space things out more. I hope that helps!

      I agree, it becomes more of a filmmaking journey than artist's journey. It's hard to focus on making art while creating youtube videos I can't even imagine how time consuming it will be. I rather just make art and post it and not have to talk to an audience about the art itself, some of us just aren't good at that.

    As an artist with a UA-cam channel that's fallen WAY by the wayside, this is exactly what I needed to get myself pumped up again! I remember how much I loved the process of putting together a video, and I'm so looking forward to doing it again, but better. I LOVE the idea of making art vlog style videos but thinking of them as movies--not dramatizing our lives necessarily, but treating them as something worthy of a movie. I don't have the energy to comment on as many videos as I would like, but I really wanted to comment on this one--thank you!

    That’s what I’ve been saying! TikTok and Instagram is a hard to connect with your audience cause it’s just a place to consume art and nothing else. While you can also do the same thing with UA-cam, content is not only longer, but there’s at least some form of engagement.

    As someone with a lot of struggling artist friends, I watched art youtube for a bit and was surprised to see a number of creators seemingly thriving. But, as you mention, its limited to a certain subset of artists. Its often cute, pretty, or quirky illustrations turned into prints, stickers, and other small reproducible items, and the videos themselves usually try to offer similar cozy, asmr, relaxed vlog vibes. UA-cam could certainly dictate some mass market trends, but I don't think its the future of art. Algorithms encourage sameness, making videos is a ton of work, as is having to present both your work and yourself. Its certainly right for some artists, but not most. And if it does work for you, it might be worth double checking whether your art is a reflection of you or a biproduct of algorithm consumption.

    Tbh feel like you posting this video is the universe pushing me to start making stuff again lol It's been difficult. Posting on social media really does feel like throwing stuff out into the void and I've always appreciated how youtube feels like it makes all your content count for something, like it's a documentation of your progress. I've been trying to balance work and everything and trying to edit at the same time + plus getting over that dumb feeling I have that what I make needs to be at a certain quality in order for me to post it, but maybe I just need to start doing stuff and letting it improve at its own pace.
    Thank you as always for your videos and your channel. You've made this space such a nice place to be.

Thank you for making me a little bit surer in my decision. Lots of love from Nepal.

Thinking of every different angles to shoot, every broll, etc... drain my brain power from the actual work of art I'm trying to make in the first place! Congrats to all of you that manage to so, but I think I really need to find a way to make video about my creative process even if I'm not dressed for the camera, or if suddenly I want to work late in the evening etc... My point is, I don't want that the video making part becomes bigger than the actual artwork itself.

    I agree. I started my channel 2 years ago to do tutorials but like now I just want to make fun videos that I ENJOY making about my art/life as well as tutorials (because I enjoy them) and just overall leaving something cool behind. I like this take!

    Kelsey! Thank you so much for what you’re doing. I feel very unwell right now both mentally and artistically. And the way you present your Self and your point of you - is something that helps me go through my day. The things you are talking about, such as being invested in the artist via their story, are resonating with me in such a deep level. I will stay in touch with your narrative. Good luck with your path! ❤

    I stumbled on your channel and I’m soooooo glad I did. As of yesterday I just started posting my art videos on UA-cam and I was unsure and overwhelmed with the posting but you convinced me that I’m making the right decision. I’ve been focused on TikTok and I love telling stories about life and sharing my personal experiences while sharing my artwork. I love the gems you shared! It gave me courage that I’m doing the right thing starting my UA-cam. Thank you sooooo much!!!!

    I've been making and streaming my art online in some form since 2001. I see everything come and go and come back again. The amount of work and upkeep being any kind of online artist is staggeringly hard, especially if you have to work to live on the side. We just don't have a lot of time to do the amazing stuff.

    Wow this is was so insightful. the point you made about youtube having a long span for your content compared to what tiktok and insta offer is something i haven't considered but it makes so much sense!! As an artist who thinks how to make it in the art world and reach the audience i'm really grateful for your perspective.

    I really needed to hear this!! I have an art channel but I've been too shy to talk in them or show my face it's literally just Time-lapse videos with music. The past few days I've really felt called to try something different and be more present on my channel. This was a huge validation for me so thank you 😊 🙏🏻

    Thanks for posting this! I've been fiddling around on UA-cam for 18 years now (OMG I cant believe its been so long already, I remember telling me friends about this new video website in high school lol) but never made any content. Last night I made my first videos. Appreciate the tips!

  • @raeclairdeluneart

    Wow. This was so insightful. Thank you, Kelsey. I'm just starting my art journey on youtube. And it is scary and I do feel vulnerable. I know that my videos aren't where I want them to be yet, but I know with time I will make progress, just like with my art. I want to keep progressing my art skills even though not everything I make is up to my standard. Thank you for all your insight, your videos are always so helpful. Take care.

    This video came just in time, I literally finally after years of doubting decided to start my vlog channel, but looking back on my videos I could have put in more effort, making it a real story. But I’m glad I came across this video, because I’ll have the chance to rethink my videos in the future. Thank you Kelsey!

  • @stephaniecoffey7830
    @stephaniecoffey7830 Рік тому

    this was really inspirational. I’m a filmmaker who is debating starting a UA-cam channel for literally all of the reasons you just stated. I keep holding myself back because I feel too old or it’s too late or I’m not a person people will want to watch. All of the self sabotage! I’m really going to try to push through because I really think you’re right that the old ways of doing things are just not the way forward and that new voices will come from social platforms. Thank you for this ❤

    Loved hearing your thoughts on this! I’ve been watching so many different artists on UA-cam since my early teens and last week I finally decided to start uploading my own art videos. I’ve only released a few UA-cam Shorts so far, but I can’t wait to create lots of long form content 💕

    Thank you for giving me the extra push to finally start my youtube art journey. I really struggle with marketing myself as I don't feel relevent in the middle of all these talented people (and now AI art...) But I realised it doesn't cost me a penny to just start and see where this will lead me. I follow you with my personal account for months and you give me hope for my future! Thank you again Kelsey

    I just found you. ❤You had me with your cinematography of spiderwebs in your opening. Your description of your hopes for UA-cam falls into place with a number of other artists I follow. The saddest part of youtube lasting is that sometimes you find someone wonderful and they no longer post or stop without explanation. And you're right, there is an inexplicable bond when you feel you are part of a creative process, even if it's just observation. Keep it up!

    I'm so glad I watched this video when I did as it pushed me to start making videos. I always wanted to do it but was so scared of long form content and felt stuck doing the shorter form. The shelf life of youtube videos is so much longer than any other social media so I love the investment analogy. Hoping to build a community that cares for each other and to just share art in its raw form
