It has been over 3 years since I started Sublime Squirrel on Twitter and until recently, I had been posting a video every day.
I’ve met sweet squirrel lovers, have learned about squirrels, and have had a lot of fun. That made me start thinking that I want to post more videos on YouTube (currently weekly), resume Instagram (My last post is on 8/21/2018), and write more blog posts.
I make squirrel videos with love and it takes a lot of time regardless of the length. Time is my life. I don’t have kids but squirrels/animals and my artistic creations are my kids. I enjoy Twitter. Really. I enjoy reading comments from sweet squirrel lovers and sharing my feelings and experiences and learning about squirrels. But Twitter posts last only for a day or two. I mean, they still exist as long as I don't delete them, but Twitter is more like for “now” things. And my posts aren’t fresh. I usually make videos from my past footage. And I realized that it’s a shame. Since I make videos anyway, I want them to continue to be watched forever.
I don't check numbers like followers, views etc often including my weight because it's just a distraction rather than encouragement for me. But one day I accidentally saw them😆 and I realized that some of the YouTube videos I made a few years ago, still get watched and the views keep increasing! I don't think they are especially great or anything. In fact, they’re worse than the current ones (they’re cute though). I wish I could edit them and make them better because my editing skills have improved a lot. But I was so surprised that even those old videos get lots of views, and that motivated me to make videos that everyone loves and that last forever!
Also, each social media platform has different features. If I want to say something quickly, I would use Twitter, if I want to explain something, I might use a blog and/or YouTube. So I want to use different social media platforms for different purposes. My mission is to spread smiles to the world. People use different social media platforms so I thought I should use a variety of them to reach all over the world.
To sum up, I wanted to say that as much as I enjoy making videos, it’s so time-consuming. So if I make them anyway, I want them to get watched again and again. And it’s possible on YouTube, Instagram, and my blog. I hope I’m not being immodest but I love my videos!😂 I love squirrels so I put my love and time into my videos. I want to focus on making great videos.
There are many great videos in the world. I’m not a professional video maker so the quality of my videos might not be as great but I believe that I am super lucky and have the power to attract cute squirrels, to encounter cute & funny, interesting, rare squirrel behaviors, and to be able to film them. All of which makes my videos unique and original. Even if you had great gear and skills to film them if no squirrels appeared in front of you, what could you do?😋

*I’ll resume Instagram real soon!
I’ll aim to post something somewhere every day!
The contents will be sometimes the same or similar, sometimes different depending on the contents. I would post to all social media platforms every day if there were unlimited time but unfortunately, there are 24 hours in a day so I have to be wise how to maximize my time.
Thank you for reading!
Have a squirreltastic day!
