I had a consultation during the week with a lady whose English was poor. She is from a place a long way from Ireland with a different alphabet and language. We struggled through 45 minutes of each of us doing our best to make the other understand. She was packing up her papers at the… Continue reading Another reminder of the power of fascination in marketing

My Kindle book sales this month (so far)
My Kindle book sales this month, up to today (16th February 2024) are surprisingly good. To date I have sold 20 books across 9 titles.

Here, I made this
“Here, I made this. You might find it useful”. This is the philosophy which has driven my online/digital marketing since I first started marketing online in 2009. That is still my philosophy today. Why should I change a winning formula? For example, today I have 843 followers on Spotify for my podcast, The Irish Law… Continue reading Here, I made this
Is your podcast or TikTok account best?
I published a video yesterday about the value of making a podcast for a small business owner, and I referred to my own podcast, The Irish Law and Small Business Podcast, in the video. A commenter asked me which was better for me and my business, my podcast or my TikTok account where I currently… Continue reading Is your podcast or TikTok account best?
Build your own crowd
When you build a crowd online, no matter the size, there will always be others who want to tap into and exploit you and your crowd.

I am aware that much of the content I publish may have little or no benefit for my business, which is the whole purpose… Continue reading Not losing sight of the original purpose of my YouTube channel
My secret tactic for getting massive views
I have had a hunch for some time that TikTok ‘reply videos’ are treated extremely well by TikTok in its algorithm. And nothing has happened to change my mind in that regard. In fact, my opinion has been strengthened by my increased us of ‘reply videos’ on TikTok in the last couple of weeks. The… Continue reading My secret tactic for getting massive views
Transactional versus relational YouTube channels
I watched a good video yesterday by Katie Steckly on YouTube. She explains the difference between a transactional YouTube channel and a relational one and the best way, in her view, to transition from the former to the latter. The widely accepted wisdom is to use a strategy which is in use in Hollywood for… Continue reading Transactional versus relational YouTube channels
Audio only podcasts?
I am pleasantly surprised by how well my audio only podcast, the Irish Law and Small Business Podcast, is doing on YouTube podcasts. When you think about it, however, you quickly realise that the type of video I make-the “talking head” type video-is ideal for audio only podcast episodes. It is not as if you… Continue reading Audio only podcasts?
Podcast growth one idea/observation/nugget at a time
I was in two minds a few weeks ago about having my podcast, the Irish Law and Small Business Podcast, on YouTube as an audio only podcast. But it is working out well and I am getting satisfactory listening figures and new subscribers from YouTube. The podcast is growing tremendously on Spotify, too, as I… Continue reading Podcast growth one idea/observation/nugget at a time
