The first ever series I put on YouTube more as a trial to weather or not I wanted to become a YouTuber. This series would be in more of a Podcast/Vlog format. As the series progressed this series would move in to more of a lifestyle format. Vlogging is Never Enough’s last video was in November of 2011 and I moved to focus more on my Lifestyle format. I started a new YouTube channel and started a new series called MJSiebolt.

After the creation of Vlogging is Never Enough, I noticed the format changing to more of a lifestyle format. So I decided to create a new YouTube channel and go in a more lifestyle direction.

MJSiebolt would officially start on May 6, 2011, with the video “Rant of the Day“. I would also do my first Vlog Every Day in August & My First Vlogmas YouTube events. Since the creation of MJSiebolt, vlogs from 2010-2011 have been merged to form the beginning of the series (due to the dates).

MJSiebolt in 2012 would mark the 1st full year that I would vlog/lifecast for a full year. But I would consider my year on YouTube from May 6, 2011 – May 5, 2012 as I started in May of 2011. I would go on to do my first Vlog Every day in April, my second Vlog Every Day in August. and my second Vlogmas and vlogging the events of myself, my family and when I babysat my nieces.

MJSiebolt in 2014 would continue the tradition of filming myself and my family. Vlogging at this point for me had become a mjor part of what I would do for most of my days. I would continue on with Vlog Every Day in April & August and the Christmas tradition of Vlogmas.
