HI there!
I have a very broad stop-motion channel with 800 subscribers. The focus has been a bit broad, if not random, at times, with some gaming and viral video remakes, with the most popular videos being a historical sit-com/adventure with the most popular episode by far on 296,000 views.
I'm looking into focussing a niche around a particular well supported football club - and I have a potentially huge video in the works as a starting point on this, and then as I've been all set-up for that one, I'm wondering about the possibility of carrying this on with regular videos recent occurrences for this club. The big restrictor on stop-motion videos for youtube is setting up, ahead even of the time-consuming filming. By simply filming in a "football stadium", it's ready-set-up and ready to go for each video.
My concern is my existing subs, who may find this lurch towards that football niche something that doesn't interest them compared to the rest of my videos along different lines.
Am I better building on my existing subscriber base and hoping to grow the channel (but in turn, adding subscribers into the mix who may not be interested when I add videos more along my original lines) or starting off an altogether new channel just focussed on the football, where people go there and know what they are getting?
If creating a new channel, my idea was to create a twitter/facebook account of the same name serving as a regular fan-run twitter/facebook page about the general goings on and my thoughts on the REAL football club, but posting the stop-motion videos on there to followers as and when they are created?
I hope that wasn't too confusing a description! Do I use my existing channel or create a new one?
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
