Scared to Share Videos?

[Tivo]

That's part of the reason that demotivates me to post a video and its simply the reaction of people I know. Whenever I post my videos on Facebook I get extremely anxious and nervous about peoples reactions I think one of the things I'm going to stop doing is posting on Facebook even though it does garner me a lot of views from there - it's just not worth the emotional anxiety LOL

The anxiety is real, man! I've had other channels that were really successful without ever sharing a video on Facebook, so I never did. But its a challenge starting from scratch like I did.[DOUBLEPOST=1471113645,1471113594][/DOUBLEPOST]

I know how you feel. You would be surprised at how much positive feedback you can get, I know I am. I guess YouTube is such a big place there is something for everyone out there. Sure you will get negative feedback, or just straight up trolling but most people are nice. If someone doesnt like what you do they will just click on a different vid and move on.

Perhaps I'll give it a try soon, I just want to make sure the video I share is at the highest quality[DOUBLEPOST=1471113702][/DOUBLEPOST]

OMG I'm so happy you shared this! I thought I was the only one who felt this way! You are not alone mate

Hahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one. I feel better about myself now

I can't be the only one who is a little nervous when it comes to sharing my youtube videos on facebook where ANYBODY that has ever known me, can see. Is it bad that I want to create content for the world to see yet have never shared one of my own videos? Is anybody else like this? Any advice, suggestions, comments?

I am the same way. No one I am friends with even knows that I make videos and I feel like it would help to share them with everyone but I just haven't brought myself to do it...

I've noticed that the more people I involve in my videos, the more they share it with people. I posted several videos with me and my friends at college doing stupid stuff and I shared it to them, it got way more views than my other videos because they typically show their parents, roommates, or girlfriend. So that's definitely another way to do it! I'll be doing that again in 2 weeks when I go back.

I know where you're coming from. I don't mind posting it on Twitter, IG, the groups I'm in, etc. but I for some reason cannot bring myself to share any of my content on my personal FB page. It makes me uncomfortable and I feel like I'll be judged by all of my friends and family.

don't be nervous. whats the worst that could happen. okay cyber bullying, rudeness, spam, death threats, ddos, hacking, dislikes.................... but apart from that, whats the worst that can happen?

seriously though. you dont have to share it on your personal facebook. i don't, i keep it separate. so facebook might get you a few views from friends. but that won't really help your channel all that much, so rather than spam your friends and family with videos, just use good SEO, share on reddit and the like and your good to go

good point, It's just a small boost of views. Unless its a widely popular/trendy topic. my friends aren't really into youtube like i am so they wouldn't subscribe anyway

I post only selected videos on my FB wall, my parents and relatives are only allowed to watch that. I am scared to show them because they will judge me always. Judging is the part of this fear.

But they could just click the video and go to the youtube page, right?

I'm the same I don't really care what random people on the internet think of my creations, and I could see myself showing them to my closer friends but it's those people that I barely know on my facebook that I don't feel comfortable sharing with. I know it's rather stupid but I feel like there is a bit of social stigma related to youtubing, unless you're really succesful. Maybe someday if I manage to get a ton of subscribers I'll start posting my videos on facebook

I totally agree! It seems like people think you have no life if your hobby is talking to a camera lol. Unless you make a lot of money or have a lot of subscribers, then it's "cool"
