The strength of the connection caused by video is amazing. I understood when I started making videos that I would cause a connection between me and some of my viewers. But the strength of that connection has been genuinely surprising. I was out the other morning on my Vespa for a spin and a cyclist… Continue reading The strength of the connection caused by video
My YouTube change of strategy has paid off but I am changing again

Spending the day in the pub
From time to time myself and herself take the bus from Ballinadrimna to the quays in Dublin city centre and spend the day in The Oval pub. We did it yesterday for the first time in a few months and it was as pleasurable as always. There is something particularly illicit and decadent about walking… Continue reading Spending the day in the pub
Seeking support for my YouTube channel (still on the fence)
I have been thinking for a little while about setting up a “BuyMeACoffee” for my YouTube channel. This service is similar to the Patreon service to seek support for your YouTube channel, but I think the big difference-I may be wrong-is that the “BuyMeACoffee” system is entirely voluntary. In other words, whether you buy me… Continue reading Seeking support for my YouTube channel (still on the fence)

In my case these connections would include feeding the small birds around my home, baking,… Continue reading Why vlog?
Making videos with my iPhone-an experiment
Today I am going to make a video with my iPhone, as a type of experiment. I want to see what the quality is like-that is, the audio and video quality-and see how it feels and what problems, if any, occur. The reason for trying this experiment is the fact that we almost always have… Continue reading Making videos with my iPhone-an experiment

Email marketing lists and free reports
I got my Aweber email marketing account back up and running at the weekend. I know there is an ongoing cost of maintaining the list with Aweber. However, I received an email from a lady from Germany on Sunday who had signed up for my free property report. She was asking if we could assist… Continue reading Email marketing lists and free reports
Practicing and gaining experience with the camera
Sometimes I will make a video just to get the practice of using the camera. Using the camera might seem like an easy thing to do-just point and shoot-but you need to be pointing and shooting in the right direction and from different perspectives to make things interesting for the viewer. And that choice of… Continue reading Practicing and gaining experience with the camera
