Hello, my name is Stephen Alff and welcome
back to Alffbooks! Today I would like
to do a quick update video or at least
I'll try to keep it quick! I just want to
update you with some things have been
going on recently on my channel for my
channel and then just I guess a life
update. So I am currently in exams as I
mentioned last week. I'm further in exams
than I was last week because I hadn't
started them yet. So I'm three out of
five exams in that means two exams left
for next week and then it's summer and
I'm so looking forward to it it's going to
be so amazing! I'm so happy that it's so
close! But yeah, so that's the first
update: summer is close! The weather is
already nice which is amazing! This is
probably the last video I'm going to be
filming in front of this bookshelf
because with exams and moving out next
week, I don't think I'll have time to fit
in another video before I have to leave
and that means we're saying goodbye to
the shelf. Yeah. It's a nice little corner to
film so it's a pity because it gave me room to
place camera and have stuff running like
my laptop is always here to record audio.
So it's really actually nice even though
it's a small corner of the room! Yeah! So
saying goodbye to the shelf!
Yeah. My computer decided to crash on me
last week, so I got the blue screen of
death three times in a row like within
half an hour! So that was nice and so
I decided to restore it to factory settings
and it's been running really nicely since!
And just before I start recording this
video I actually was able to get my
software for editing video up and
running so that was a relief because
that was the thing I was most afraid of
having issues with when it comes to
resetting a computer like that so that
didn't happen to be too much of an issue.
So that was good! As you've probably noticed I
put subtitles on my videos and have been
since about September last year. I am now
continuously working on it to add
subtitles to some of my older videos starting
with some of the more popular videos and
then working through to eventually put
subtitles under all my videos!
If anyone is interested, feel free to add subtitles!
I have the community contributions
activated and it would be amazing if
someone wanted to help put suppose in
any language really! No matter whether I
speak it or not because I think it's
always great to be able to reach more
people. So if anyone wants to help
I would appreciate it immensely if you do!
A while back I mentioned that I was going
to do a booktube newbie Q&A video and so that was
I think last year in October and I have
had questions since from people asking
me: Hey when's that going up? I'm still
working on it. It's actually getting
ahead quite nicely! It's actually become
a bigger project, It's going to be a 2/3
video project now instead of just one.
It's moved on from just being questions
to being a collab where I'm working
together with other youtubers. If you're
interested in finding out more just let
me know send me a message: Twitter or here
on YouTube or really, email, anything and
I can tell you more about it if you want
to participate! It's basically going to
become a how-to YouTube and how to Booktube
series! I say series but like
2-3 parts not much more because it's
already taking quite a while! The next
little change I want to do is based on
prioritizing videos that I make in the
future! Videos that have more engagement
and more likes, are videos that I see is
people are really liking these so I
should probably make more of these! So if
you want a specific type of series to
have more episodes say: booktuber for a day
or a poetry recital then just feel free
just like the video, comment underneath!
That's the best way of telling me: This
video, this series we love, we want to see
more of and then I'm there and I see
that and I'm like Yes! I'll get straight on to
that and I'll make another one of those
for the near future! Because I now have
quite a few different series I have my
Thoughts On... series, the poetry recital
series booktuber for a day series, I have
the youtubers recommend books series and
just having those different series means
that I could easily fill a month with
just doing different series without
thinking of doing tags without doing any
vlogs or anything else. I can prioritize
which series will have an episode again
soon by what people are most interested it!
Because I personally want to do all them
the whole time! Just don't really have the
time! And if I know that: Hey discussion
videos is what people really want to see
then I'll put aside more time to
make a discussion video and then post that
sooner rather than later! Continuing on
this idea of more engagement and likes
when you really like a video I will be adding
a comment on my endscreen from one of you
guys, because I want to say thank you!
Thank you for engaging, thank you for
commenting, thank you for loving books
with me and talking about books and just
talking about everything and anything! I
just want to start adding a comment at
the end so I guess if you engage more
you are more likely to be there but also I mean:
just the coolest comments!
I mean booktube is already a cool
community, I want to see how cool we can
make the comments! I want to start
adding something in my videos! I want to
add a secret word! Now at some point in
the video or in the endscreen, I will
mention a word which will be the secret
word for that video and what that means
is: it's a word that I want people to use
in the comments without saying why or
where that it was mentioned in the video.
Don't mention that it's a secret word, just
use the word and I want to see how many
people I can get to use the word
pineapple in the comments this week! I
would, yeah, so secret word this week:
pineapple! And lastly, because I'm still
studying for exams I thought you know
I'm listening to music while I'm
studying so I might as well share my
playlist with you guys! So link in the
description: playlist music I'm listening
to while studying! It's a YouTube
playlist so you don't even have to go
off the platform and it's, yeah, it's just a
cool playlist of songs I like. I'm
probably going to be updating it every
so often, adding songs, maybe even taking
away some songs, but definitely adding songs!
Yeah, let me know what you think of that
playlist as well because you know if you
have any songs you think hey you're
really gonna like this because of the
songs on the playlist I'd love to know!
I'd love to know! I love new music! I hope
you enjoyed this video even though it's
a bit long it was just updates but you
know I still wanted to let you know what
was going on and I will leave you with a
video on this so which is the most
recent video I posted which is youtubers
recommend books and on this side a video
that I think you will really enjoy!
