Celebrating Video Game History!
Hi everyone! I didn’t get round to doing one of these posts for October, so here’s a double rewind for you! One of the worst months, followed by one of the best! I didn’t feel very good in October, and I think that was reflected in the channel and the stats too. I was having a rough time with my …

After all the complaining I did last month, it’s nice to see an improvement this time! Mostly thanks to my Game Dev video, which is quite unexpected. I put off making that video for so long, thinking that no one would care…. It’s gone on to become the best performing video of the year, not in terms of views, but …

After June’s experiment, it was back to the regular schedule this month, and as predicted, the extra videos didn’t even make a dent in the overall figures. This month’s stats look largely the same as last. Half the amount of videos, but the same number of views. This month also marked the last of the sponsored videos. I’ve been feeling …

Welcome to the June 2024 recap! This month was by far my most productive so far! I had most of the calendar free so I could finally try an experiment, uploading two videos a week. Would it make any difference to the stats at the end of the month? Would it draw in more money than usual? Was it worth …

May was another busy month, taken up in the first week with a holiday to Tenerife, and later in the month going away for London MCM. I had a great time doing both, but it did eat into some content creating time. Due to that, I only had time to do one stream, and one podcast. But I made sure …

Hi everyone! I’ve struggled with motivation this month, I know I shouldn’t focus so much on the analytics, but I can’t help it. Seeing the ups and downs and trying to make sense of it feels like kind of a game to me, albeit, one that plays on my mind a bit too much, and has the ability to make …
