I am not a YouTuber, but am thinking about creating a channel. I used to have a written blog on the topic of high-density residential housing. I have been thinking of resurrecting the blog as a YouTube channel. Given the niche aspect of the topic, I don't expect a large audience at all. However, I would be disappointed if the channel failed to attract some viewers interested in the topic.

One of the reasons I stopped my blog was because I had hardly any readers. At first, I believed I was writing for myself. I learned a deal about the topic of housing, and I improved my writing too. However, I realised I also wanted an audeince: not for fame or popularity - just to engage with readers and gain some feedback I wasn't writing absolute rubbish!

If I create a YouTube channel I will use my blog posts as a basis for the videos. I would not appear on camera as a "talking head", but use visuals in the video to illustrate a topic. I can't speak fluently spontaneously without multiple pauses, 'um' and 'erm' - instead I would use my blog posts as a kind of script.

Should I revive the blog (written word)? Or create a YouTube channel? Still undecided :-)
