What have you Sacrificed for your Channel?

...he warned me if I don't spend more time with him, he is getting rid of all of my equipment and I won't be allowed to make videos anymore...
I hope I can be transparent with my subscribers at least, and at the same time make this into a career.

Have you thought about asking him to help you? I am fortunate that my wife doesn't mind the time I spend on the vids; she's just happy to know where I'm at. Anyways he can help with the lighting, camera setup and other mundane but horrendously time consuming task.
I'm also hoping to make this into a career too. I'm throwing my eggs into the production quality basket. As far as endorsements and other such monetary things, I will remain true to my format. If I dilute it to something that isn't my "voice" I think it will adversely affect my channel....
...then again I only have 3 videos up and my latest one is flirting with 300 views. :whistling2:

He bought me my equipment which is his idea of being involved. He doesn't want anything else to do with it which is fine, I can of prefer doing it on my own anyway. Although one thing is that he bought me this equipment so I can do YouTube and turn it into a career for $$. He did not buy it for me to do it as a hobby. When he found out I had only made one makeup tutorial, he was like "you need to make more makeup tutorials!! That's where the money is at! I didn't buy you this equipment so you can do random videos!" Haha bless is heart. I think it's cute he thinks that me doing makeup tutorials are going to make me rich. Lol. Yah okay.mif I do makeup tutorials it's cause I love makeup, not necessarily to make money.mif anything,makeup tutorials will cost me more money than anything I could make. I plan on doing a Mac and Chanel haul... That's why. *shrug*

I feel with you as I dropped my Nikon 1 J2 with 30-110 NIKKOR lens ten floors down a building. Nikon said it was beyond repair. With literally a hammer I could get at least get the camera somehow back to working. I guess if Nikon provided spare parts I would have a fully functional camera now :(

Apart from that the time I put into my videos is rather something I gain than something I sacrifise. As I have a relatively loose schedule the is close to no conflict with family and friends.

Was the camera recording when you dropped it??? That would be interesting to watch lol. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I was recording when I destroyed my gear lol. I waited over a month to show my girlfriend what I did... She noticed my crushed accessories and asked what happened, I told her I'd rather not say. When I showed her she just gave me this look that just said "WHY???" I showed her and some friends the video on New Year's Eve.... I wonder if I should make it public?
 
I lost sleep and my sanity. My health is crap right now since I've been working more hours on YouTube and I have my daytime job to attend also. I've sacrificed money obviously but that's not really a sacrifice to me if its for something I like doing. I actually did loose a friendship because of YouTube but again it doesn't bother me because I prefer doing this than keeping that one friend out of a million. That's pretty much all I can think of for the moments in terms of sacrifice!

I've lost a friend too. Except it was because I learned he wasn't really my friend. He kept hating of my videos, so I stopped talking to him haha
