Starting an Informal Vlog to Tell My Story

I’ve been trying to figure out what the best format for my videos might be. So I decided to try making informal personal blogs. There are so many ways to try to game YouTube in order to try to get the maximum number of views and subscribers and best monetization and all that kind of stuff, but I’m thinking maybe the best use for me on YouTube is just to record daily diaries or journals which give an idea of what I’m doing that day, what I’m painting that day, and maybe what I’m thinking about that day. Hopefully this can serve as a communication tool, but also - perhaps more importantly - as an archive of the progress of my work, but also as a contribution to the overall record of my life.
