What is a better plan of action?

[ShadowMajor]

Hi there guys!

A question for you guys, what do you think is better?

1. Sticking to one genre or "thing" and just keep doing it, only picking up one set of audience?

2. Do a whole load of different things that are pretty different from each other, picking up a few different audiences, but splitting them up a bit?

What's your thinking on this? As there are so many different pros and cons to both.

I do many different things not only for my audience but also for myself I like playing different types of games because if I play only one it will burn me out verry quickly.

 

[ShadowMajor]

Yeah, I get that, but I mean more than one thing, I consider gaming as a whole one thing, where live action, scripted comedy, reviews and stuff like that are all different things.

Although you play a load of different games, you still do just gaming, not trying to say that's a bad thing but would you do other things too?

I have heard that sticking to one thing in time works better then having a diverse range of content. But in my opinion having a diverse range of content attracts a wider audience.

 

[ShadowMajor]

yeah, that's what I'm talking about, do you get a wider audience, that only watch a certain type of video (mostly) or have one audience type who watch all of your videos?

I have done a sort of radio show on my channel so I have tried things besides gaming to see if people would like it.

And how well did it do?

I'm in favour of doing #1. That's how I've built an audience and should I want to expand later on, then I still can and will be able to bring a good number of my existing subscribers with me. However, if you're not really into one specific game or type of gaming, then being so niche may not be for you.
