Should I use a schedule?

[JakesyDude]

I've kind of been slacking on my YouTube videos lately. I want to have a schedule (A video every Monday) but that doesn't seem to be working out. I was going to post three videos yesterday to make up for it, but my editor's trial expired. Should I do a schedule?

Upload all 3 and just schedule them to the next 3 Mondays. Problem solved.

Schedules are a no-no for me.

I don't know if I'll have them all by Monday. I'll try to, though!

I, too, always hear that posting new videos on certain days can help, but you know, I can never really force myself to do it. Best of luck!

Schedules help for me plus they make you on track so you won't slack. So I think using a schedule will help you.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will try to start doing a schedule once I get a good editor and can do weekly videos again.

I try to get a video up every Sunday.

Some people say that schedules are nice, because they keep your subscribers involved; they know when to expect a new video, and roughly when they should be looking for a new video. For myself, above all, it's an accountability thing. It would be very easy for me to not do one one week because I didn't feel like getting it done.

How dedicated are you to getting a video out every week is another factor to consider. I typically try to record midweek, leaving me multiple days to edit. That way, I don't feel rushed to get it all done in one day, and if I need to, I can spread it out.

If you want a schedule try not to be to strict about it example : uploading every Monday at 12:15pm go for something like once or twice a week depending on the mood you are in?
