Q & A

What was Don's original plan for his YouTube channels?

Don's original plan was to stop vlogging daily on his main channel, and instead start a podcast channel where he would upload 2-3 podcast episodes per week. He also planned to continue uploading edited, more creative videos on his main channel, but not daily anymore.

Why did Don stop uploading podcast episodes after only 2?

There was an annoying beeping sound in the audio that Don and his team could not fix, despite trying everything. This made the audio quality too poor to release more episodes.

What challenges prevented Don from uploading new videos to his main channel?

Two main reasons - 1) He lost a few hundred old vlog files he wanted to use to make a compilation/highlight video 2) Issues with getting his Lamborghini fixed up for a special announcement video he had planned.

How long has it been since Don uploaded a video, and why does he feel this is too long?

It has been 5 weeks since Don uploaded a video. He feels this is too long because he told viewers he would only be gone 2-3 weeks, and the lack of clarity is confusing for his audience.

What type of content does Don plan to upload to his main channel going forward?

Don plans to upload real life content similar to his old vlogs, but edited with more creativity/planning and not daily. He also has a vlog compilation video and a Lambo announcement video coming soon.

Is Don planning to continue his podcast channel for now?

No, Don is putting the podcast plans on hold for now so he can focus on getting his main YouTube channel back up and running with regular uploads.

What other platforms will Don use to give followers more day-to-day updates?

Don plans to be more active on Snapchat and Instagram to share daily updates until he gets his YouTube channel back on track.

How is Don's health now after his recent surgery?

Does Don plan to quit YouTube permanently?

When can viewers expect to see new videos from Don?
