Your Youtube Schedule

My schedule is as often as possible.
I can't have a set schedule, because my mood swings a lot lol
 
I upload every Monday and Friday at 5pm GMT. I work around my full time job and social time as well. It takes me about 2 hours to edit a video, like adding music and the graphics etc.
 
I upload every week, but no particular day.I don't want to promise a time or schedule I can't honor.

I'm struggling to create a schedule for myself for uploading videos. I see a lot of people are able to upload videos every day.

I do the editing + script myself and it takes more than a day to complete. Am I just distracted with other stuff? How long does it take you to edit a video etc 10min long?

Even though I'm new, we've seen some great growth over our first month or two (200+ subs). My tips about a schedule are to clearly communicate that with your audience. This can be done within your videos, or on your channel header (see my channel as an example). Even so, I'm thinking about refining my schedule to a more concrete timeline (for example: New Videos every Tuesday and Thursday!).

As for it feeling like "chaos" early on...that's perfectly normal. Luckily I have graphic design and editing experience, which helps...but I remember this feeling. Time + Repetition + Dedication = Efficiency. The more time you invest in developing your skills when you're NOT making a video (watch tutorials!) the easier things will be when you have to sit down and edit/produce a video.
 
I upload every Wednesday and Saturday at 4pm EST. My videos tend to be 6-8 minutes long and I generally maintain the following schedule to ensure they are created:

Monday: edit, render & upload Wednesday's video (roughly 3-4 hours)
Tuesday: write script for Saturday's video, get gaming footage
Wednesday: nothing
Thursday: edit, render & upload Saturday's video (roughly 3-4 hours)
Friday: nothing
Saturday: write script for Wednesday's video, get gaming footage
Sunday: get more gaming footage and potentially some editing for Wednesday's video
 
Previously I had no schedule. But 2017 I am trying to upload every other day and already have 4 scheduled / lined up so I just want to keep on top of it when I have some free time.
 
I know what you mean. Sometimes it tough to get a consistent schedule going. I mean for a channel like you have since it isnt a gaming or vlog channel. Once a week would be a good target to aim for. If you can do more do more, but once a week for your videos would be a nice treat for your subs.
 
I upload 4 days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday). I keep my videos on the short and simple side, so that I can record and edit them within a matter of hours. I think one of the most important things with scheduling videos is knowing how much time you want to spend on each video, and then work backwards from there.
