What was the main purpose for this Tumblr account when it first got started?
I’ll be the first to say that, of all my social media accounts, my Tumblr profile has seen the barest minimum of activity since I started Youtube back in March 2016. I feel like the main reason for that is because Tumblr was a new thing for me, & I really didn’t know how to properly use it. Not to say that I know how to properly use it now, but I’m definitely more focused on actually giving an attempt then just not doing anything with this profile. Also, a more probable reason (though definitely not a main reason) for the lack of activity on this profile is, while I’m sure I had plans to post my videos on here as they uploaded to the channel, I, more then likely, had the mindset that I would have a Tumblr profile to share any fanart that was drawn, should I get a substantial following & build a community. Of course, kinda hard to build a community on any social media platform if you never post on it. As it has become more apparent across my other social media accounts, it’s unrealistic to expect that any sort of community that I were to build on YouTube would trickle down into any of my social media accounts, something like that needs to be built from the source itself. It’s the main reason why I started to become more active on my Facebook & Twitter accounts & I’m slowly working on being more active in my Instagram & Snapchat accounts. My iFunny account will pretty much always be hit or miss, regardless of how active I am on it, but I’ve been on that account for so long, there’s no way I’d get rid of it.
Which brings us to what exactly is the plan for this profile now?
I feel that, since I’ve started a whole new “Let’s Read” series, I would start posting those videos on here, since I feel like those type of videos would fit Tumblr’s style more then my Let’s Play content. I won’t post any of my current playthrough on here, but I will be thinking about whether or not I’ll post any future Let’s Play content. While I will be posting my videos on here, I still feel that, if I were to build up a community & if anyone were to take the time to draw fanart or create anything fanmade, I would share that on this profile & make it to where this profile would be a collection of any sort of fanart or fanmade stuff, to showcase any talent that felt like I was worth the time to create anything for. Just like with my other social media accounts, the only way to properly build an audience & help showcase the channel is to be far more active & build up an audience outside the channel, & just hope that some of you out there will think that my channel is worth keeping up with.
To summarize everything, the plan for this account is to post all of my Let’s Read content & maybe future Let’s Play content, if y’all were to ask for them to be posted. Also, somewhere down the road, if we do build a community, then this profile will become a gallery to showcase any talent that felt I was worth the time to create something. I know Tumblr is primarily a site where art is posted, not necessarily videos, but that doesn’t mean I won’t try to be more active on here.
As always, thank y’all for y’all’s time!
