Supporting people vs people supporting you

Ive been thinking about this alot.  because to be honest? its been bothering me alot....I've notice that everybody wants you to support them in whatever they do but they don't support others...me? i try when i can...if you know me you know if i know you are legit and good at something i am going to recommend you when the chance pops up.  The problem i am having now is that maybe i think i am supporting people too much.  because it seems like i am sort of being used...its always can i do this for them or do that for people...but when it comes down to when i need help with something they are nowhere to be found. now lets be clear this is not a cry for help post but i am seeing how most people have been treating me and i am not liking it.  So for now on there will no more handouts...I've notice i help more people out rather than focusing on my own craft. last time i checked i have goals i would like to reach as well but where is the support? nowhere to be found.

So i figured i start just doing me...continues helping my family and bruhs and such...but outside of that? ima just fall back and just see how shit plays out for now on....i will not give you advice on your shit because at the end of the day i don't get paid for my advice's...i am not a consultant or whatever...i actually wanna get in the game and play rather stay on the bench dammit.

Re-branding my YouTube channel:
                                         

Man what can i say....me actually getting back into the swing of things on YouTube is kind refreshing.  Reason why is because i get to start over....that means i actually have to think about what kind of content i am going to put out rather than me just cutting on street fighter and have the viewers watch me get pissed off about a random lag match.  This gives me the chance somewhat show people that i am just not a video gamer with a YouTube account...to be honest Ive been always doing videos before YouTube took off i was just on face book...and actually my old blog page (sideshow TV) is still up lol...So what i am gonna do with my channel is the following:

- Gaming
- Vlogs (pretty much video blogging)
- Product reviews
- Recording my trips to different states and such (vlogging pretty much lol)

Later down the road i plan to get some brand deals for my channel and maybe do some partnerships as well...i would really like to see this channel grow now that i know exactly what i want to do...the problem is time and to figure how i am going to go about it.  I am pretty much a one band man...all editing , recording , making thumbnails and wording is all i do and people thinks that's really easy to do...when its not....the issue that i am having right now is the wording of my titles and my thumbnails...the content is there (in my opinion) but i am lacking at attracting people to watch said content...

Another thing i would like to work on is collaborating with other You Tubers...that's the hardest thing to do...the people with a following will not respond or the people that near your level don't want to work with you because they are afraid that they will lose subscribers.  I honesty see that working out for the both of us because it shows your subscribers who i am and my subs can do the same...but that's not how it works...only people i see collabing with each other are the people that already popular on YouTube...i wanna get in that circle....it will be hard work but i'll get there...

Ima leave at that for now... check out my YouTube - DeeDogg and if your not a subscriber you should sub! peace

Is it too late to learn adobe premier?

So When i started getting into making videos i was always using sony vegas....reason being? it was so easy to use....at first i was using windows movie maker but i out grew that because i felt i was limited as to what i could do in windows movie maker....so i switched to sony vegas....when i started using vegas it took me some months to getting used to it and once i knew what i was doing i hit the ground running.

While sony vegas was out there was another software called adobe premier....for some reason i just cant crack it (meaning i cant get used to it). ive been off and on using this software but for some reason it seems too damn difficult for me to use.  One reason i will point out is that it is not user friendly at all lol....everybody on youtube...well mostly everyone uses it....they say its something all youtubers should learn...one friend even told me to just stick with sony vegas because its the software that makes your videos look great....its the creator....

Dont get me wrong i am not bashing it by any means...its just that i cant for the love of god understand it at all lol everything is not in the right place where it should be IMO where as in vegas they have everything laid out as soon as you open it up lol

So in conclusion ive decided to stick with vegas and slowly learn a thing or two in in adobe premire...i dont know how long it will take....but i'll figure out how to do all that cool stuff in sony vegas for now...
