I am ignoring the findings of my own poll, carried out on my YouTube channel, and am catering for the minority view, not the majority. The easiest thing to do is to follow the majority, do the popular thing, take the path of least resistance, and cater for the masses. I polled my YouTube subscribers […]

I did my first YouTube live stream at the weekend just passed, on Easter Monday at 12 noon. I have previously written about doing my first live stream but that one did not actually feature me, and I was not on camera at all. It was just a test or dry run to see how […]
I did my first YouTube Live Stream this morning, Easter Sunday 12 April 2020. It is something that I have begun to turn over in my mind, lately, because I think it has great potential from a business perspective. But this morning I just turned the camera on and set it up on a little […]
Listened to a podcast this morning about how to get your videos discovered on YouTube. It was an excellent look into how you can improve the likelihood of having your videos featured more by YouTube.

Let’s face it, I was making videos about topics-law and business-that are not likely to produce videos which can go viral or gain massive popularity. To compound matters I was not making videos for a huge population base because my videos […]
I have written before about the stunning effectiveness of YouTube and Facebook advertising, provided it is done correctly. There is a tremendous danger, however, in putting all your eggs in one basket. Recently I met a young woman whose entire business-surprisingly successful-was based on the popularity of her Facebook page and Facebook advertising. When she […]
A lady from Utah or Idaho or Ohio or someplace in the United States emailed me last week. She wanted me to advise her in relation to some difficulty she was encountering with a government or State department in the United States. She had seen me on YouTube and was impressed and decided I was […]
I got a great deal of quiet satisfaction this week from reaching my 2,000th subscriber to my YouTube channel. I uploaded my first video in March 2011 and it took from then until the third quarter of 2018 to grow my subscriber base to 1,000. But it only took a couple of months to add […]
