Should I Attempt To Revive My Youtube Channel?

I have had my Youtube channel for a really long time.

I first set it up way back in 2008. Though over this time I have never been very intentional about publishing or optimising to get the best from it. It was really just a place where I would post additional content for my members or for free courses.

Despite the age of my channel I still only have a mere 681 subscribers and am a long way off from hitting the monetisation thresholds.

I had a period during lockdown when I began working on being a little more consistent with it, but a few things knocked me off track with that.

• I live in the mountains and the internet upload speed is slower than a snail that is in need of a nap. It can take a full day to upload one measly 10-minute video.
• I really wanted to start creating better quality videos but didn’t have the money to invest in a new camera.
• During this time I also started writing more here on Medium. My writing took off, I was earning money on this platform and so I decided to double down and put all of my focus and attention here instead.

These reasons mean that I haven’t uploaded a public video there for over 7 months now.
