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. This will depend on the length of time your video is watched by viewers, expressed as a percentage of the […]

Have you read the blog post I wrote recently about substance over form in your marketing? About the value of authenticity and ‘keeping it real’ rather than having an unhealthy preoccupation with your own ephemeral, surface image when promoting your brand or content?

I had just come back from a Sunday morning run at the time of the Maria Bailey hotel swing fall case controversy when I made a video about the matter. My video sought to extract some lessons from the whole affair; not political or public relations lessons but legal lessons based on the principles of […]
When I started out on YouTube, I never thought I would reach 5,000 subscribers. 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.

I am not going to lie-I do care that you don’t like my video. I made it and uploaded it to YouTube because I thought it had some value, some utility. And seeing that little thumbs down icon always hurts a little. It hurts if it is genuine and my video is truly worthy of […]
If you are not using YouTube advertising for your business you are missing a great opportunity. It is incredibly cost effective and I am getting video views for all my campaigns at 1 cent per view and, for some, much less than that. For example my “Residential Property” campaign has delivered 1,491 views over the […]
