A Creator’s Dilemma: Understanding the Core of My YouTube Channel


Salut Les Amis! Lately, I have been thinking about what my YouTube channel really means to me over the last few days I seem to have arrived at a conclusion. The process to arrive at this conclusion was the most fun one and I could only have arrived here because I made sure to document each step of the process. (This is also because of the Bullet Journal Template that I use in Notion, template linked below* )

Since I first started making and releasing videos ;

  1. I have published songwriting videos;
  2. I have made videos about helpful tips on books;
  3. I have reviewed other YouTube channels etc;
  4. I have published vlogs of different bits and pieces of my life.

All of this seemed purposeful at the time but now that I look back over the past year and the content I have put out, it is tough to say that I have really found my voice and as much as I thought it would serve as a reflection of my personality, I found myself holding on to so much information that really needs to be out there!

Until now.

The sole purpose of me making videos what I’ve come to realize is that my channel is really about helping people.

Whether that’s helping musicians improve their craft, or helping working professionals find more meaning in their work, the common thread is that I’m here to be of service.

Armed with this realization, I’m now in the process of brainstorming new video ideas that fit within this framework.

I need not look for inspiration elsewhere. 🙂

So I have decided to be to try and be as honest as I can and just share everything that I have on the subject at hand.

I am sure atleast one person will find this helpful and that is enough motivation for me. 😊

Ultimately, the only way to figure out what my channel really means is to take action. I can do all the brainstorming and research in the world, but if I don’t execute on my ideas, I’ll never know if they’re going to work.

That’s why I’m committed to putting out regular, high-quality content that aligns with my vision for the channel and I can assure you that there is so much more in store.

Which also enables me to put the ball in your court now! So if there is something that you would like to share with me in terms of feedback/comments or anything in particular that you would like to see from me, hit the reply button.

Salut Les Amis! One of my most fond memories is my dad taking me to his workplace and getting us to drink the coffee from his office coffee machine and as a 14 year old, I would wonder, how can it be so perfect each time? Ah, coffee. The lifeblood of the office. Without it, mornings are bleak, and productivity is at an all-time low. That's why mastering the office coffee machine is crucial. Don't settle for mediocre coffee. Let's jump right into perfecting your brew. If you work in an office,...
