I've got a small range of different topics I like to talk about on my channel. At first, I thought that was okay as long as my personality is the glue that holds it all together, but I saw a video the other day from channel growth guru Tim Schmoyer that said one of the things that can kill you, as a channel, is lack of focus. He even had another guy in the video saying that's what screwed him. He said viewers will love you for one or two topics, but won't be interested enough in the other stuff to subscribe or increase their watch time on your channel. Are they right?
I don't want to par the channel down to just one or two topics; partly because I'm not sure I can come up with enough ideas to sustain any one topic. I usually talk about politics, technology, or philosophy, but I also try to do more casual, fun stuff to break up the monotony and help people to get to know me. I might be willing to break that stuff off into a separate channel, but that stuff takes more time to make; too much to maintain a regular, weekly release schedule.
So, what do you think? Can a person grow their channel to a good size talking about such a variety of topics? Is that sustainable?
Thanks, guys.
