vlog 25-01: A New Year, and Some New Changes

Published on:

Happy New Year!

I’ve decided to make a few changes to how I do things. While I can’t say there is any big, over-arching reason, there just seemed to be lots of little things that added up to a need to adjust a bit.

Thus, in no particular order…

  • Patreon is out. Nothing bad or noteworthy happened. It’s certainly not a “rage quit”. I just decided to move on from it.
  • I’ll be slowly releasing my old Patreon Exclusive videos on YouTube for free. It will take a while, as there are hundreds. But they’ll be accessible for free.
  • I’ll be releasing all my stuff for free on YouTube and this blog going forward. So you’ll be seeing way more videos than in the last few months. All for free.
  • If you want to be kept up to date when stuff is released, you can subscribe to this site and/or to YouTube for free.
  • Did you note all the points that have “free” in them?
  • Except this next one…
  • If you’d like to donate support for the site and my work, I’d be grateful. I’ve moved the site to a much more secure server, but it ain’t cheap.
  • Nothing is sponsored by any Spaces shaped like a Square. 🤪

As always, thanks for your support, encouragement, and friendship. I’ve been posting my modeling work online since 2006, and I am so thankful for all I’ve learned and the wonderful friends I’ve made. And even an acquaintance.

Subscribe. It’s FREE.

Donate. (Not free*.)

*But greatly appreciated! 🤪😉

Now on to the video that will reiterate all of the above points, only with far more unnecessary words, and quite a few “uhs” and “ums” to break up (or emphasize) my monotonous droning on.

Happy New Year. (Hopefully…)

    Got a good laugh from the spaces shaped like a square. One of my favorite YouTube channels has that ever time. EVERY. TIME.

    1. I’m glad you liked that! I thought it was kinda funny.

      I get why people have sponsorships. If YouTube is how you feed your family, I can understand it. Still, having to fit the algorithm and YouTube “best practice” expectations (best practices for YouTube as it turns out) often kills creativity. And it just gets annoying. There are some channels I gave up on just for the constant Squarespace/NordVPN/Whatever tucked into it.

      One of the crazy things is that for most of those deals, the creator is paid based on how well the video does. So if a video just doesn’t get traction, they may get little or nothing in return, but the sponsor still gets their ad out there.

      Now, with all that said, if Vallejo ever said “We’ll sponsor you with some money and all the products you need, but you can ONLY use our stuff”, the next words out of my mouth would be “Is this where I sign right down here?” 🤪

      Happy day to you!
