I have spent a great deal of time studying video and the different types of video that can be made. From talking head videos to vlogs to silent vlogs to live video, and more. I published a vlog over the weekend about an apartment I bought at a BidX1 auction, which has proven hugely popular… Continue reading The most efficient videos for my business
This YouTube channel’s success is remarkable
I came across a YouTube channel yesterday which got me thinking. Firstly, the channel has 480,000 subscribers yet is less than one year old. Secondly, the maker of the channel never shows her face in her videos. Thirdly, there is no speaking, no voiceover or piece to camera. What there is instead is text on… Continue reading This YouTube channel’s success is remarkable
The unfair advantage of telling better stories
I spend a lot of time thinking about telling better stories in my videos. Telling good stories gives any small business owner or entrepreneur a massive advantage over competitors. And so, I spend a lot of time thinking how I can better use and incorporate story in the videos I create for my YouTube channel,… Continue reading The unfair advantage of telling better stories
Looking forward to getting back on my Vespa
My Vespa has been lying up since St. Stephen’s Day because I got a puncture then. I have been unable to get anyone to fit a replacement tyre on account of the holidays and places only opening up in the last few days after Christmas. The weather has been extremely cold, too, and there would… Continue reading Looking forward to getting back on my Vespa
The Enoch Burke comments online
It is difficult to know if certain Enoch Burke supporters publish the online comments they do in the full knowledge that they are wrong/mistaken but go ahead and make the comments anyway, for whatever reason. Or if they genuinely believe them and they are genuinely held views. For example, the comment that Enoch Burke will… Continue reading The Enoch Burke comments online
The world is a scarier place now
The world is becoming an even scarier place now, was my immediate thought having watched the six one news last night on RTE 1. Firstly, there was a story about Meta and Mark Zuckerburg and his announcement that all of the fact checkers for the Facebook platform were being dispensed with. Zuckerburg wants to revert… Continue reading The world is a scarier place now
“I stand with Enoch”
“I stand with Enoch”. I have been reading that online on various social media sites for the last two years, or thereabouts. A few days ago I read online about a planned demonstration of support for Enoch Burke which was to take place yesterday outside Wilson’s Hospital School. This morning, I read there was approximately… Continue reading “I stand with Enoch”
Daily vlogging for 30 days
I have set myself the challenge of vlogging daily for 30 days, starting yesterday. I have publicly committed to it in my first video. So, the pressure is on to actually do it. My vlogs will not be full videos which you might normally associate or expect with a vlog. Mine are 3 minutes or… Continue reading Daily vlogging for 30 days
Negative comments as a good metric of successful messaging
The more successful you are on social media the more negative comments are directed at you. Initially it is a bit of a shock, especially if you have never stuck your head above the parapet before. But you do get used to it and you see them as simply good indicators that what you are… Continue reading Negative comments as a good metric of successful messaging
Diarmuid Phelan Acquitted of Murder
I am surprised at the verdict brought in by the jury in the murder trial of Diarmuid Phelan, Trinity College law professor and Senior Counsel. I can understand the acquittal of the charge of murder but expected manslaughter to be the verdict. I am not seeking to undermine or question the verdict and am sure… Continue reading Diarmuid Phelan Acquitted of Murder
