I'm making this video because I wanna talk to you about what my channel's gonna look like in the future.
Hi guys, thanks for watching this new video! I'm in another setting than I usually am...
That's because I moved! As you might now, I lived in Dronten.
Because of my school. Marley's stable's at Bennekom.
Pretty far away, so I had to travel a lot.
I decided I wanted to live closer to Marley. Not only for Marley, but also because he's my job.
It's easier for me to film video's now. And because I've got my car, I can easily drive to school.
Better than 2,5 hours by public transportation.
So I moved last weekend (the weekend of January 22).
I'm in my new room now, and it might look like it's finished already.
But I've got so much stuff and so little space... I don't get how I did it in my former house.
I shared some closets with Susanne there as well. I'll show you with my camera.
While I'm filming, I'll show you the damage.
Okay, so this is the camera I'm filming with right now.
Zooming out now...
Here's the window, and the mess starts here.
So ehm, this is so not okay!
So I'm sitting here, with only the desk behind me.
Trying to make it look nice.
Anyway, this room is twice the size as my old one.
So happy about that! And I want to create a corner in this room where I can easily film video's like this.
But I'll tell you more about that: I'm making this video because I wanna talk to you about the future of this channel.
January has been the most chaotic, busy month of my life.
Sjoerd came back, then we had Vader Paard with the Friesian Proms and the stallion show...
Exams, moving...
And that was filmed by NPO3 - Nederland Verhuist - so I'll be on national television at the end of February.
More exams...
It's almost time for Jumping Amsterdam now, and after that: I'll be going on a skiing trip. And then it's February.
To make it even more busy: I'm uploading for Penny once a week since the start of 2017.
So busy!
You might have seen that in the video's: They're of less quality than they used to be I think.
Quality as in: the content, but also the video quality.
I didn't have time to vlog...
So that's why there were a lot of video's on this channel that had nothing to do with me or Marley.
Friesian Proms, Jumping Amsterdam, all that.
I actually wanted to film this in February, so I had a little more time to think.
Because I expected some reactions about the content of my channel. But the reactions came sooner than I expected.
A lot of people commented: I like these video's, but I miss your vlogs. I like vlogs better.
I totally get that! That's one of the reasons I moved.
I'm only ten minutes away from Marley now, so I can see him whenever I want.
Or I can think: oh, I need one more video, I'll fix that right away.
Way better than having to drive for an hour first.
We have to keep in mind that YouTube is my job as well.
YouTube pays me for putting video's online on this channel.
But I also make money by making video's for other people.
Like for the Friesian Proms, my school, ....
And I make a lot more money there than I do on YouTube.
I just bought my car, I have my rent, I have to pay for Marley...
So I have to take jobs like that to get paid, to grow in what I like to do...
If I don't have that, I can sell my car right away.
So you have to know that it can't be all vlogs: I have to accept things like this!
Besides that, you all know there's been a fire at my stables.
That's why a lot of different video's came online, like the saddle-fitting video.
The sports masseur who visited...
And during that time, I couldn't do anything else. I had no saddle, bridle, anything to go out with.
Anyway, I got everything back now, so I'm ready to do nice stuff again.
And I wanted to compete in February, but then I found out my startpass was no longer valid.
That's because I left my old association and wanted to join another.
But I forgot to communicate that with the KNHS (organization for official competitions).
So I'll do that when I get back from the skiing trip!
And we're heading towards spring, so that means the crossing season is coming up!
I wanna do that of course! In winter, the video's are always a little more dark, gray...
The outdoor season is way better!
So than I wanna talk to you about the video's I'm planning to make.
I got a lot of nice ideas, but I cant do it all because of schoo.
It's a fulltime education.
YouTube is kind of fulltime as well...
It's pretty hard to combine, but I can manage because I love to do it both.
But sometimes it's like: I got this great idea for a video, but that takes way too much time!
So than I postpone it. Anyway, there's two things I wanna talk about...
First of all: I'm considering quitting the fixed uploadschedule.
Because then I don't have to make hurried video's for when I don't have something good.
Some YouTubers do this, and it sounds good to me. But I also wanna upload enough for you guys.
I'm afraid that I will upload less with a fixed schedule tohugh.
So that would make it better for everyone maybe?
By the way: it's not like I only make video's for the money. I'd still do it if I wouldn't get paid for it.
I started this as just a hobby as well.
But I wanted to make that clear! ;)
Second: I'm thinking about introducing different kinds of video's on this channel.
I wanna create space in this room where I can film 'sitting-video's'.
The thing is: I prefer a corner.
Problem: the window is over there, so that makes it hard to get some natural lighting.
I really have to sit like this.
And you look straight into my room. But I like a nice background, so I have to figure that out.
Filming video's like this is pretty easy, because I'm at home..
Easily filmed, easily editted.
But then I need good content! So I wanna ask you guys: do you have any good ideas?
Ideas for video's I can film at home? I can do a Q&A of course...
I was thinking about... Well, I get a lot of questions like: do you have any tips for competing-nerves?
Yes I do! But that's hard to film, because it's not like I can film at the stables, with Marley.
It would be easier to film video's like that here, at home. I can talk to you and give you the tips I have.
You don't have to watch that when you don't like that of course.
So I wanna do things like that on my channel as well.
My room in Dronten was way too small for that, I have no space left.
And I couldn't film in the living room, because I had some roommates who're home pretty often.
I can do it here though.
By the way: I'm not living here with Sjoerd or on my own. It's another student home.
Fine by me!
Then I wanna make more video's like.. Well, the video's that'll take a lot more time.
Like: Expectations vs. Reality video's.
My boyfriend does my voiceover...
Maybe I wanna let someone who doesn't know horses get Marley ready. Sjoerd's not option though, because he already knows too much.
My roommate Floor doesn't know horses, but already volunteered haha
Anyway, there's a lot of YouTube-trends (my boyfriend does my voiceover).
Ehm, but I don't wanna talk too much about my ideas, because some of there are pretty new on YouTube.
If I tell them, I'm afraid someone else will do something like that before I find the time myself to do that.
But you expect a lot of new things in the near future!
I also wanna vlog more! I should do it more often!
The thing is: when I lived at Dronten, I saw Marley 2-3 times a week.
I have to upload three times a week.
That means I had to film a video everytime I went to Marley.
I don't want that anymore: I wanna see Marley without the camera and just focus on him.
I can see him 4-5 times a week now!
I think I told you all I wanted. Maybe I think of some other things when I'm editing this video.
But you know most is of it at least.
The title of this video is: Will I stop vlogging? That's because there's been not so many vlogs online.
It looks like clickbait, and I hate that on one side.
But I want everyone to see this video, and I can accomplish that with a title like this.
You need clickbait when you want everyone to see it.
A nasty trend on YouTube.
But you have to go with that if you want to remain at the top.
Clickbait works.
I don't want to do that very often, because I don't like it that much.
I do it sometimes, you might have already noticed...
Like when I take part in crosses and I fall off:
I put that in the title as well. Clickbait, but also the truth.
Sometimes clickbait's really nasty.
When I was filming at Paard&Koets, which was an assignment given by Academy Bartels
A lot of 'bad' things happened: a twosome ran over an obstacle, that kind of things.
I'm not gonna put things like that in my title to use as clickbait.
First of all: that shows a lack of respect and that's not what the video's about. That's just a little moment in a ten-minute video.
But I also think you have to go with some trends as a YouTuber.
Because I want people to watch my video's of course!
So ehm, I wanted to tell you that and I hope you get it.
I think this was it for today!
I really have to figure out how I'm gonna plan it all. I hope February will be a bit more relaxed.
I'll go back to school of course, so I'll hope to get more like a routine in my days.
The last weeks has been vacation and exams, so that's a lot of free (study)time as well.
Sjoerd got back as well, so that's a change in my routine as well.
I have to figure out what to do with my room as well.
I live in the centre of Ede.
That means there's a lot of traffic, I don't want you to hear that in my videos.
That's why I'm wearing a microphone.
I wanna buy a new and better one in the near future.
I want to buy some lighting for when I'm filming when it's already dark outside.
And I want a new camera, but that's very expensive.
So that's all goals for the future.
Anyway, I like to talk to you guys like this!
I know a lot of you agree with me.
So that's what I wanted to discuss today! Thanks for watching, see you next time! Bye bye!
