Hi All - I could use some advice but first I'll try to answer Tim's 2 questions:
1) Why care about a relationship with me?
A) It's really difficult. As one person stated, having a gaming channel is more about have a personal relationship with the gamer. But I feel that I'm not getting noticed as much as I was hoping for. My channel is quite new and I am new to this. I guess my answer would be "I've been through a lot in my life. Married when I was 23 to a woman who would divorce me in 10 years because she goes through self discovery and is a lesbian. In that marriage, we had 3 kids of which 2 have a terminal disease and medical care was so expensive we had to move to Finland in order to receive care. After divorce, i've been through a series of ups and downs in relationships. One woman attempted suicide after admitting she was a closet alcoholic and suffering from an eating disorder. I recently quit my job because it was having such a negative effect on my emotions that it was pouring into my personal life and I didn't want any part of that. I'm doing Youtube as an outlet as a way of tapping back into my creative passion. I also played video games a s**t ton when i was growing up. I haven't really grown up at all so I thought I'd give Youtube a shot. Why care about a relationship with me? Because perhaps maybe you've gone through a lot of pain and struggle in your life and you're still chugging away at it and want to enjoy a few laughs while watching someone play some games."
2) Why does a relationship with me matter?
A) As people who have been through a lot of struggle, we can relate and bounce positivity off of each other. We can confide in one another and be open about our pain and struggles with our circumstances in life.
Now, I'm not sure how I take those answers, and actually BRAND it into my gaming videos? Any advice regarding that? A little background about my channel, phillibluebeard: My last name is Phillips so I have been called Philli most of my life. Filly is also a newborn female horse. Growing up on a farm, I thought it would be a cool idea to use that as an avatar. However, Im a dude so I wanted to somehow correlate the two. I have blue eyes and a beard so I thought I'll have a horse avatar with long lashes for the female side, and a beard for the male side, and promote it as a gender neutral horse. After all, male and females both enjoy playing games these days.
Sadly, at this point (which isn't a very old channel by any stretch), I'm not sure if my questions I answered relate in any way shape or form to my avatar. Perhaps it's just a big cluster f**k of an attempt. To be fair, I chose the avatar and name long before I had the opportunity to answer those questions. Perhaps given my answers, I should start a new channel called "The Cursed Gamer" lol
Feel free to have a look at the channel and offer any advice. I'm all ears. I hope I've worked with yttalk preferences correctly so that when I hit "post" it shows you my channel's link.
Seriously, if you've made it this far, thanks for your kindness with reading through this all.
