Getting back on Youtube after being absent for a bit...

Hey guys =D
I started a vlog about South Korea and life in Seoul a few months ago. At first I was trying to upload at least one video per a week but with my sudden surgery and health problems I was gone from youtube for a couple months. Even though I have very few subscribers, I feel terrible that I wasn't better at communicating with them. Now that I'm somewhat recovered, I'm trying to get back at doing regular videos but I feel a bit lost.

Has any of you guys gone through something like this before; being absent from youtube for months without letting your subscribers know in advance? How did you get back to doing vlogs again? Please share your experience, and any tips will be appreciated =D!
 
I went away for a week, I just made a video about why I was gone unexpectedly (only if you're comfortable talking about it) and then I went back to my schedule :) Its up to you if you make that video however just uploading will set the ball rolling again :D good luck!
 
Welcome back! :D

Yeah, I once absent for a month because it's holiday. I KNOW, the holiday is actually a perfect time for MORE videos but it seems the opposite, we're ran out of idea, ran out of time, everyone is going somewhere for family holiday and stuff. So we didn't got to film any film and stuff...

We hope that this will not happens again soon :)
 
I had a couple months where I didn't upload.
Then I uploaded a quick video just saying how I'm probably not going to be posting for a few months.

But then, once I came back I just went straight into it and created a usual video.
And I just left in the description a bit about why I was away.

I find it quite hard to get back into the roll of things after an absence tho, It tends to take me a while to get use to the schedule and how to do things! But as long as you dont beat yourself up over it, then things should go smoothly!:D
 
Just be as honest with them as you feel comfortable being. That's all that can be asked of you. Welcome back!
 
Nothing, just a reduction in views and overall number of subs for the 2.5 months I took a hiatus and eventually rebranded in early January.
 
I am at that stage now, I have been away for a few months ( health issues amongst other things), I can't even remember if I told my subs that I would be away, but they are still subbed which probably means they weren't active anyway and forgot they had subbed lol(not funny really but have to laugh). I have been planning for a while to come back and will be starting to film again next week.

I am just going to get uploading again and see what happens

I had to have a surgery done on my abdomen area which made me stay in the hospital for only few days, but the recovering process afterwards took weeks...:) now I'm almost perfectly healed so nothing to worry about too much, thanks for asking^^; and it's very nice to hear that it never happened to you so far![DOUBLEPOST=1426544394,1426544146][/DOUBLEPOST]@ EmilyJM, SlenderMan, Weallstink965, SuckMyDax, DoomVideoVault,

It happens. Though for me it's more about computer issues rather than health issues.

Best wishes for your health and your videos! Having to be away from vlogging due to health reasons truly stinks...but I'm sure you'll get back right on with your videos soon enough and your subscribers will understand you, good luck =D!
