As a person I would always have been cautious. By this I mean I would be sceptical of most things I would be told or hear unless there was sound evidence or data to support the assertion. Once that is present, however, I have no problem accepting the proposition. I am not a man for… Continue reading Drinking the Twitter Kool Aid and generating leads/clients for professional services-a prodigious waste of time

Why I won’t be starting a podcast
Podcasts and podcasting are all the rage nowadays. But I won’t be starting one, even though I have been requested to do so by subscribers to my YouTube channel. One of the big advantages of podcasting is the ease with which you can set one up. At a minimum you could actually create one with… Continue reading Why I won’t be starting a podcast
Social media-an animal that must be fed every day?
Social media plays a massive role in my business. It has done for years and has been a driving force in the development of my solicitor’s practice. Sometimes, though, it seems like a tremendous obligation and burden, a ravaging animal that must be fed fresh meat each and every day. A pain in the ass,… Continue reading Social media-an animal that must be fed every day?
My viral Tweet

Incredible to think that the strategy for @realDonaldTrump was to "flood the zone with shit" such that people would be unable or unwilling to spot the difference 🤔 https://t.co/XoGcYKoffL — Terry Gorry.

Why I Won’t Be Seeking Perfection With My Videos
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… Continue reading Why I Won’t Be Seeking Perfection With My Videos
Is Twitter Addiction Real?
Are you a regular user of Twitter? I’m not, although I do use the platform to push out links to blog posts or videos I have made concerning Irish law or business. I do this on ‘autopilot’ by using a scheduling tool called ‘Buffer’. There is plenty of such tools but this is my favourite… Continue reading Is Twitter Addiction Real?
Why I Am Returning to Twitter
I gave up on Twitter some time ago as a waste of my time and attention; but I’m reconsidering this decision now and I’ll tell you why. Before I do that, however, let me tell you why I quit.
