Building a YouTube channel takes more than chasing views and subscribers. Sometimes, it means stepping back, rethinking your strategy, and focusing on the bigger picture.In today's episode of The Monday Check-In, I'm talking about the journey of growing ArtwithErrol Gaming, why I'm shifting toward longer videos with Shorts as teasers, and how I'm working toward my goal of reaching 500 subscribers.We're talking about consistency, watch time, the challenges of being a content creator, and why I'm choosing to play the long game instead of judging my progress by a single video's performance.**Let's talk in the comments!**What kind of gaming content do you want to see more of? And if you're a creator, how do you stay motivated when growth takes time?Thank you for being part of the journey.Subscribe to ArtwithErrol for more gaming news, reviews, opinions, and The Monday Check-In.#ArtwithErrol #MondayCheckIn #YouTubeGrowth #ContentCreator #GamingCommunity

Another Monday, another check-in.

Lately, I’ve been asking myself a question: Am I actually doing enough to make this creator thing work?

Between work, family, life, packing, gaming content, art, podcasts, Shorts, streams, and trying to make longer videos, it can sometimes feel like I should always be doing more.

But I’m starting to realize that working harder isn’t necessarily the answer.

I need to work smarter and more consistently.

In this episode of The Monday Check-In, I talk about what I learned from the past week, getting my Wolverine review together, building a content buffer for the weeks ahead, and why I’m trying to stop measuring progress by how busy I am.

The goal hasn’t changed. I want to grow ArtwithErrol into something that can eventually become my full-time career.

I’m not trying to go viral once.

I’m trying to build something that lasts.

If you’re building something of your own and sometimes wonder whether you’re doing enough, this episode is for you.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

Sometimes progress is hard to recognize.

In this episode of The Monday Check-In, I’m asking myself a question I think a lot of creators—and a lot of people chasing a bigger goal—have asked:

Am I actually making progress?

It’s easy to look at views, subscribers, likes, and results and feel like you should be further along. But what about all the work nobody sees? The planning, recording, editing, learning, experimenting, failing, adjusting, and simply continuing to show up?

I’m talking about the pressure I put on myself, the struggle of working without immediate validation, and learning to measure progress by more than just numbers.

Maybe success isn't about how quickly you get there.

Maybe it's about continuing to build something worth getting to.

Thanks for checking in with me.

What am I actually building?That’s the question I’m asking myself in this week’s episode of The Monday Check-In.Over time, ArtwithErrol has grown from simply sharing my artwork into something much bigger — art, gaming, streaming, podcasting, Shorts, and everything in between.And with all of that comes the numbers: subscribers, views, watch time, likes, and comments. It’s easy to get caught up in those numbers and forget to ask the bigger question:What am I actually trying to build?In this episode, I’m taking a step back and looking at what ArtwithErrol means to me, what success really looks like, and whether I’m building a channel, a brand, a community, or something bigger.I don't have all the answers yet — but I think figuring out the direction is just as important as figuring out the destination.And that leads to a question for you:What are YOU actually building?Let me know in the comments.Thanks for checking out another episode of The Monday Check-In.#TheMondayCheckIn #ArtwithErrol #ContentCreator #CreativeJourney #KeepCreating

It's time for another Monday Check-In! This week, I'm being honest about the struggle to stay consistent with content creation and the need to get ArtwithErrol back on track.

No art video today, no gaming video today — but we're not giving up. I'll be talking about this week's goals, the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine release, and my plans to get back to creating art, including a Wolverine sketch.

Thank you for continuing to support ArtwithErrol and ArtwithErrol Gaming. Let's get back to work and make this a productive week!

We’re back with another Monday Check-In! 🎙️

This week, we’re celebrating 450 subscribers on ArtwithErrol Gaming and looking back at a surprisingly strong week for the channel. The PlayStation mini-series took off, and the numbers are showing us something important about the kind of gaming conversations you want to hear.

But now it’s time to shift the spotlight.

🎮 This week, we’re talking Xbox.

With Xbox changing how Game Pass cloud gaming works, I’m asking a bigger question: What is Xbox becoming? Is Microsoft moving beyond the traditional console business, and what does that mean for gamers?

I’ll also talk about what’s coming to the channel this week—including a little art crossover as I get ready to sketch Wolverine ahead of the upcoming game.

And of course, we’re continuing the Road to 500 Subscribers! 🚀

Thanks for watching, supporting, commenting, and being part of the ArtwithErrol community.

Subscribe and let’s get to 500!

Sometimes we spend so much time looking at where we want to go that we forget to look at how far we’ve already come.

On this week’s Monday Check-In, I’m taking a look at the journey so far — from rebuilding ArtwithErrol Gaming and crossing 300+ subscribers, to figuring out what kind of gaming content I actually want to make, growing the art side of the channel, and continuing to build toward something bigger.

The numbers matter. Views, subscribers, retention, click-through rate, watch time — they all tell a story. But they can also make you feel like you're not making progress when you really are.

So this week, I'm stepping back and looking at the bigger picture.

300 subscribers wasn't the finish line. It was a milestone.

And the ultimate goal isn't just another subscriber number. It's building something sustainable enough to eventually replace my current income.

Maybe I'm not as far away as I think.

Maybe you aren't either.

Thanks for checking in.

This week on the Monday Check-In, I’m taking a step back and looking at what I’m learning about growing ArtwithErrol and ArtwithErrol Gaming.

We talk about my experience with the Call of Duty MW4 beta, Hell Let Loose, why I think Shorts alone aren’t enough, and why I’m starting to focus more on long-form content and watch time.

I also talk about continuing The Annunciation — Gabriel and Mary, balancing gaming and art, and the bigger realization that there’s a difference between making videos and actually building a channel.

We’re still experimenting, still learning, and still putting the pieces together.

This week’s focus:
🎮 Gaming & the MW4 Beta
🎨 The Annunciation painting
📈 Growing the channel
📺 Shorts vs. Long-Form
⏱️ Building watch time
💬 Turning viewers into a community

Thanks for being part of the journey.

Keep creating.
