Have you ever felt that you are one
video away
from quitting and that all your hard
work is practically going nowhere?
You felt like it does not make any sense
for you to keep doing what you're doing
right now.
We live in the same world my friend,
but is there a way out of this? 
How do you avoid burnout and how do you stay
motivated on YouTube?
Coming up on Frame 316 Media!
Whether you're trying to entertain or
educate others through your channel it
is no ordinary feat
to be consistent. Setting aside
hours and hours of filming and editing
so that you have content on your YouTube channel. Not to mention the time you need
to figure out what sort of videos do you
need to produce.
Self-care should always be a top
priority for every content creator but when you don't
see the growth you want from your videos you tend to
overextend yourself with a lot of work
and sometimes
more than you can actually handle. So
there will come a
time when you wake up one day and then
your motivation
and excitement seem to vanish in thin
air. You know you need to hit
the record button,
but you would rather do something which
you think
is more productive.That is not
a good sign my dear friend, so how do you push through it?
Do you take a break? What do you do?
Here are a few tips to help you
avoid burn out
and stay motivated. But before that,
If you're new here,
this channel is all about helping you
grow your
business with video; by understanding
and learning the tools
on how you can make this happen will
help you establish a successful brand
using videos!
My name is Robert and I post videos
regularly
to help you in your video content
creation journey. Now back to the tips:
First step, Give yourself a break!
Don't be too hard on yourself.
If you have been doing videos for
years now, or for months, and then
you are on the brink of quitting it's
okay to take
a short break anyway if you have the
right strategy in place
using SEO, good titles, and catchy
thumbnails - then your channel
will be on autopilot even if you take a
short break.
Next, Connect and be honest with your
audience. So grab a smartphone,
do a simple personalized video telling
your subscribers
why you are taking a short break and
asking for their feedback/
Engage and learn from what they have to say.
They subscribed to you
in the first place, for a specific reason.
They wanted to see
your amazing content, so when you plan
to take a short break make sure to let
them know.
Next, Batch produce your content.
Find one day in the week where you
can crush it,
shoot multiple episodes and then another separate day
where you can edit multiple videos.
Two dedicated days can cover for a
month's
episode that's one episode per week at
the minimum
if you have these two dedicated days
covered.
Another tip is to lower your standards
consider cutting back
on your production. If you really can't
afford
to take a break then take a few steps
back
in producing videos, Find
topics where you won't need to spend a
lot of time and effort in producing these
videos. Behind the scenes,
a day in the life, candid episodes
where you can still
add value and entertain your subscribers.
Then once you have that fuel back in you,
then just
jump back in and be the content
creator that you used to be.
Another important tip for you is learn
how to re-purpose your old videos
I would usually
export a clean version of my YouTube
videos minus the music,
transitions, and graphics. Just clean,
clear video and audio version. So when the time
comes, I can reduce these 
episodes into smaller snippets.
I can even combine
relevant topics into one new topic.
This gives you enough buffer
until you're ready to produce
new sets of videos. Remember these tips
are designed to work
for different scenarios. You can even
come up with your own strategy
in avoiding burnout so make sure  to share 
it in the comment section below if you
have something that
i know i forgot to mention. But at the
end of the day,
you need to set your priorities straight.
That's the most important thing
remember when you reach the burnout
stage and then you still
force yourself to create videos your
content will definitely suffer you just can't
fake forcing yourself to do something
that you don't feel like doing.
It will reflect on your work on your
video on your channel
whatever it is you're working on, you need to keep your passion and
energy in check.
It's normal to feel like quitting
don't get me wrong, and if you get a
point where you did quit,
there's nothing wrong with that. Just
learn how to navigate yourself
back into life . Discover your
sweet spots I would usually take a short
walk in the park,
watch a movie, read a book ,hang out
with friends and this small snippets of
non-YouTube related activities,
they actually helped me to get back on
my production work
