Why I'm Leaving YouTube...

SIGN UP FOR MY SUBSTACK HERE: https://entertainingwithbeth.substack.com/ What Goes into Shooting a Video Each Week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYB6Vr8vfEY I started posting videos on YouTube back in 2012, since then so much has changed. Between the shifts in the Algorithm, influx of short form content, saturation of food content, A.I., and a host of other reasons, it’s been harder and harder to gain traction on YouTube, and as a result make a living from it. This is usually why online content creators end up burning the candle at both ends, posting on YouTube and a Blog, doing Brand Content, Writing Books and everything in between to cobble together an income to be able to continue doing what we love. And sometimes doing so many things at the same time, means feeling like you’re not doing any of them very successfully. For this reason, I’ve made the hard decision to step away from YouTube and put all my focus on Substack. https://entertainingwithbeth.substack.com/ What Will This Look Like? If You’re a Free Subscriber to My Substack Newsletter: 1.) You will continue to get my free Newsletters. 2.) Serving up recipes and videos from my recipe archive (there are over 400 recipes and videos!) so plenty to keep you well fed. 3.) The recipes will link to my videos on YouTube and the recipes on my blog. I understand that paid subscriptions are not for everyone, and if you remain a free subscriber you will not hurt my feelings :) It seems like there are so many paid subscriptions these days, we can’t join them all. For Paid Subscribers: ($7.00 a month) 1.) You will get all my NEW videos and recipes (exclusive to Substack) 2.) Vlogs from France, Travel Videos etc (exclusive to Substack) 3.) An Ad-Free environment in one place! The video will be embedded into the email, in the Substack player. 4.) You will also get the recipe card embedded in the email (no bouncing off my blog) 5.) As well as a downloadable PDF of the recipe in case you want to print it out. 6.) The other thing I’m hoping (with enough paid subscribers) is to be able to bring back the Menu Videos! 7.) Substack makes it easy to also include all the recipes, game plan, shopping lists and more in a downloadable format which I would love to include as a companion to the video. A BIG heartfelt thanks to everyone for all the support and words of encouragement over all these many years as my “Creator Journey” has taken many twists and turns in the road. But as I’ve always believed “If trailblazing was easy, the road would be paved.” So once again it's time to start clearing a new road for myself. Onward and upward! xx Beth ABOUT THIS CHANNEL Hi!
