Is this possible?

Hallo YT Talk, having a bit of a dilemma.
I made my youtube channel about three weeks ago and have had lots of fun recording and edtiting videos. now that I have a better sense of making videos, I think it's time to identify my 'niche' per-say.
I'm just not sure what I should stick to!
I like making little comedy/ blog type videos, but I also like playing games. Is there anyway I can market / balance these two ideas?

Firstly, it's great for you to have many interests - it means lots of people can subscribe to your channel.
You're playing the "youtube game" well. Just create a schedule, make one of each of those type of videos in equal quantities and you'll grow easily.

Ah, I see, so it's perfectly possible to balance out my people type videos with my gaming ones? Would you suggest a 50/50 split or...?

 

[oscarsobs]

If you're equally interested in both styles, do 50/50, if you're more interested in gaming than vlogs, then do maybe a 70/30 split, but make sure you make both types of videos on a regular basis consistently.

I think whilst I like gaming, when it comes to making videos I'm more interested in making the blog/skit type of videos, they're just more interesting to produce for me.

 

[oscarsobs]

Ah, okay. You can do a 70/30 or 60/40 split that way, then.

Also, make sure that whatever you do, you have fun making it! And don't try to be someone else.

I read a discussion about having two channels, if you feel you are up to it, and if you feel it´s worth it, you might have one channel for gaming and one for comedy/vlogs.

I thought about that, but because I'm so small I would it be worth my time? (atm)

they can work together great! if you make your cam a big part of your gaming videos (cutting to reactions, etc.) then its not so different to have a video with just you and the camera. I think 50/50 would be fine, but you can always do more of the one you prefer

 

[Daaave]

Yesss, I hope to show my reactive side soon enough (nice to sit another brit btw, love your poke'mon videos, so accurate)
SO it would be ok to continue making my little skit/blog videos and play games?
