UPLOAD SCHEDULE?

Hey guys,

(I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong category, I'm not sure where this thread fits in best)

So I've been uploading once a week, every sunday, for two weeks now. I've got the feeling that this is fine but I feel like I need to do 2 videos a week. One on wednesday and one on sunday. My friends tell me the same thing, but that's because they just want to see more of me :P

There are three problems when uploading twice a week.
-The quality of the video might go down
-Eventually you'll run out of fun ideas
-Time consuming

I was wondering if any of you guys had the same problem, what did you do and if you really decided to post twice a week, how did it help your channel?

Thank you for reading,

DUNCAN
 
For your sort of channel which is like mine, I would say 1-2 times a week. you are fairly new, this will help you grow quicker and get you in the youtube algorithm. Try not to make the quality drop too much if you can, uploading on a schedule like that I'm sure you will grow more. Once you reach more subs you maybe won't need to post as much and drop it back down to 1 video a week if you don't have time, but for now which will save you ideas, you need to put in the work in my opinion

Thank you for you answer! I'm going to try and fit in 2 videos a week for a couple weeks to see how that goes. I feel like everyone needs to experiment a little with YouTube to see what fits them and their channel. Once again, thank you!
 
I upload 3 times per week, but I have a pretty simple set of video types, so they're easy to film and put together. The most time-consuming are the cooking videos, and those generally only take a couple of hours, at most.

I always think the best upload schedule is one you can stick to and keep it consistent. There are people who upload several times a day for a few weeks and then go dark for weeks, and I think that's probably not optimal. I think a steady pace that your subscribers can count on and that won't burn you out is best.

Agreed 100% - do what you can comfortably sustain in the relative long-term. I personally do 4 videos per week - 2 commentaries and 2 game play focused videos, and I am usually able to edit, render and upload all the videos on Saturday and Sunday so that I can spend the weeknights capturing footage.
