I’m fascinated with this idea of making better vlogs using storytelling. Finding a story that is interesting or entertaining or which will hook and retain a viewer in one’s ordinary, everyday life. There must be a story, no matter how trivial or apparently inconsequential. And I want it to have 3 acts, as in the… Continue reading Vlogging and storytelling

A day in the life type vlog
I am doing a “day in the life” type vlog today. I am interested in the whole area of vlogging and creating content out of the daily happenings in life. Regardless of whether that is my life or somebody else’s I am fascinated by the idea of building brand, building relationships out of the mundane,… Continue reading A day in the life type vlog
I’ve bought a drone
I’ve just bought a drone. And I am like a small boy with a new bicycle or train set at Christmas. I am looking forward to flying it, taking a look around our area from the air, and integrating some drone footage into my YouTube videos in 2023. The type of videos I make-mainly talking… Continue reading I’ve bought a drone
My viral video
My video about the “Quinn Country” tv documentary has gone viral. Viral, for me, that is. It has been watched over 49,000 times on YouTube in three days and has had similar viewing figures on TikTok. This is way in excess of what I would usually expect from a video on my YouTube channel. But… Continue reading My viral video
I have a vast inventory of video content and my biggest job now is distribution
As we near the end of 2022 I have begun to realise that I have an enormous amount of video content as part of my business marketing efforts. My biggest job nowadays is not so much making new videos, although I do that every week anyway, but distributing what I have in an efficient way… Continue reading I have a vast inventory of video content and my biggest job now is distribution
The power of video marketing (again)
I have written on more than one occasion about the power of video in the marketing and promotion arsenal of a small business like mine. My business, and practices of other professionals, is much dependent on the personality and character of the individual lawyer or accountant or tax advisor or business consultant. Putative clients will… Continue reading The power of video marketing (again)
Why I publish videos which should hurt my YouTube channel and displease the algorithm
“Keep making the YouTube videos, even the ones about baking the bread”, said a client to me on Friday as he left the office. Yesterday, I watched a video by a guy on YouTube about why he was deleting his viral video which obtained over 18 million views. He rationally explained why he was doing… Continue reading Why I publish videos which should hurt my YouTube channel and displease the algorithm
My First TikTok Live
I did my first TikTok live yesterday at around 11 am. It went well, a good crowd showed up and there were lots of questions which I tried to answer. I gained a little over 60 new followers/fans so that was a good outcome. I have also received a few email questions from persons who… Continue reading My First TikTok Live
I can’t stand whingers
I cannot stand whingers. The whiney, whingey, demanding, entitled attitude is one to which I am a complete stranger and cannot fathom. But I know they are out there, in their droves. I encounter them regularly on the various social media platforms on which I engage, especially on my YouTube channel. I love YouTube and… Continue reading I can’t stand whingers
YouTube Livestream-doing my first one in 2022 this morning
I am doing my first YouTube Livestream in 2022 this morning. The last one was in December 2021. I have toyed in the past with the idea of going live much more regularly-for example, once a week and trying to develop a regular show at the same time, same day, same place every week or… Continue reading YouTube Livestream-doing my first one in 2022 this morning
