Most people would answer this question by saying, do
both! Well, sadly, everyone doesn’t have the time to do both. I know that we
like to see the first of the first from each of the people or “gurus” that we
watch on YouTube or whose blogs we read. We have to understand that these
people lead regular lives as well behind their cameras, blogs, and social media
accounts. I’m sure the gurus would agree that social media is a job in its
self. Video recording, editing, posting, revising, naming; then coming up with
ideas, writing them down, putting them in order, writing clearly, making sure
your blog readers understand and not to take anything out of context, taking
pictures, tagging pictures, and making sure you are always up on the newest
thing and all those special moments in time. Social media is a crazy little
world all on its own. It’s up to each one of us how we relay our messages,
reviews, and points to the world. I started out on YouTube thinking that it would
be an easy breezy task. BOY…did I learn a lesson. Making videos are not as easy
as they look. Having the tools necessary to make sure your videos look up to
par and having everything you need in order to say a few paragraphs about an
object, company, or person is tedious. The pausing, recording, playing,
rewinding, remember where you left off…Ugghhh!! I could shoot myself just
THINKING back on it. For some this is a thrill and fun thing to do day in and
day out. Me personally, I find myself veering more towards the smaller and
easier methods of spreading the word. I absolutely LOVE Instagram. All I have
to snap a picture add a caption and some tags, and wahlaa!! I can do it at any
moment, any time of day, and share whatever moment, thing, or event I want. I
also use twitter. I am getting into some of the new social media outlets as
well such as KEEK and VINE. But I said all this to say, I’m moving away from
the YouTube rush and into blogging and smaller venues of social media that fit
my everyday life. (Not like I was big hit on YouTube anyway..LOL) So make sure
you catch me on Instagram: @choklatestarr and Twitter: @choklatestarr (or click the links) for my
updates, hauling, reviews, and everyday shenanigans!!!
Love Always,
