TL;DR at the bottom.
I'm almost finished with Part 11. If I worked enough hours per day, I could probably finish it in time to release it to the public in early December, but I have a better idea. I've been wanting to make a Halloween-themed 50 Ways video ever since I made the Christmas video. Unfortunately, it usually isn't a good idea, since October isn't a good time to release videos. Ads generate less dollars per view in October than they do in June, November, or December. If I spent 3-6 months on a Halloween video that comes out in late October, then I wouldn't have time to make a video for November or December, which are usually the most important months for me financially. So for that reason, I haven't been able to make a Halloween 50 Ways.
This year, however, I made more than enough revenue from ads to pay all of my expenses for the whole year before it was even October, so I already know that I don't NEED to release part 11 this year. Obviously, I'll post it on Patreon for you guys to watch as soon as it's done (if I forget, please email me at jakeiott@hotmail.com), but I think I'm going to save publishing it on YouTube until next June. That way, I can use the time I WOULD have spent working on a video for June on the Halloween video instead. Then, I should be finished with it in time to make a November/December video or two.
So for this month, I'm going to finish Part 11 and its trailer and thumbnail as if I was going to release it on December 7 just in case I change my mind, but I'm probably not going to release it to YouTube until next June. Once that's done, I'm going to start work on the Halloween video.
TL;DR: I'm going to save publishing Part 11 to YouTube for next June so that I'll have time to make a Halloween video for 2020. I should be able to release Part 11 on Patreon soon. Email me at jakeiott@hotmail.com if I forget.
