Have you ever had a YouTube channel ?

Either for music, singing, food videos, etc? How was it overall? Did you upload videos every week?

I've been seriously considering starting my own channel there, to feature my singing/covers. I probably would start out just audio. And work up to myself being in a video singing. I just don't know anything about how often people usually upload... or if it is difficult to do? I only have my phone right now for audio/visual equipment, so I guess it would be a start anyway.

Great question!!

We've played with the idea over the years; even tried our own websites, both private and public. YouTube and/or Facebook may ease the technology hurdles but you are performing in someone else's theater. Rolling your own in your own website can get very complicated if you go interactive.

I have a mostly closed website for our business, with access to just staff but all it would take is one hacker to penetrate the sign-in and wreck my day ... or week. But to pat myself on the back, it's been up and running for 6 years with pretty heavy database interaction without a tumble.

Take the plunge, but be ready to take an occasional step backwards to rethink. And Good Luck!!
