The principle of small improvements and creating momentum
I have spent some time over the Christmas break learning more about editing videos. And it has been time well spent because I have picked up a couple of little things which will improve the quality of my videos and the amount of time a viewer will spend watching them.

Getting dragged down by asinine, uninformed comments
I publish a large amount of video content on various social media channels. Video marketing plays a central role in the marketing of my business and my own brand (being a sole trader/sole practitioner). Much of my content generates a great deal of comment, which is great as I want my stuff to generate engagement… Continue reading Getting dragged down by asinine, uninformed comments

My rough, unscientific data and observation leads me to believe that TikTok treats these… Continue reading TikTok reply videos-a sneaking suspicion
You’re doing TikTok wrong
A guy told me I was doing TikTok wrong yesterday. He had, when I looked at his profile, a handful of followers-less than 100. I have over 40,000 followers on the platform.
