I have set myself the challenge of vlogging daily for 30 days, starting yesterday. I have publicly committed to it in my first video. So, the pressure is on to actually do it. My vlogs will not be full videos which you might normally associate or expect with a vlog. Mine are 3 minutes or… Continue reading Daily vlogging for 30 days

50,000 YouTube subscribers in 2025?
My target for my YouTube channel in 2025 is 50,000 subscribers. I believe it is a realistic target and achievable. I am at 39,400 at the moment. It will involve the publication, on a consistent basis, of high quality videos of use and/or interest to an Irish audience. I do not want, however, to sacrifice… Continue reading 50,000 YouTube subscribers in 2025?
The new style of vlogging?
I checked out a few YouTube channels yesterday which had been suggested in another video I watched as illustrative of the new style of vlogging which is all the rage on YouTube in 2024, and by inference, in 2025. It is a style of vlogging with very little editing and features one individual speaking to… Continue reading The new style of vlogging?
Buying me a coffee and supporting my YouTube channel
I have been considering for some time offering a way to viewers and/or subscribers of my YouTube channel to support the channel. I have backed away from it several times in 2024. But now, at the end of the year, I have decided to provide the opportunity for those who want to support my channel.… Continue reading Buying me a coffee and supporting my YouTube channel
Reminder to me about short, vertical videos
This blog post is a reminder to me to tap into the power of short, vertical videos in 2025. The power of such videos, for certain tasks and in particular circumstances, is immense. For example, on 25th December 2024 I published a short video which took a few minutes to make an upload to a… Continue reading Reminder to me about short, vertical videos
My Vespa Vlog videos
I have been agonising about what to do with my Vespa ride footage. This footage is the footage taken from a spin around the parish or a little trip someplace on my Vespa scooter. The big question I must address is whether I should be trying to talk about business or law issues on these… Continue reading My Vespa Vlog videos
Ad revenue from YouTube-worth chasing?
The significant revenue increase on my YouTube channel from my videos covering the Conor McGregor trial have been an eye opener. I never saw YouTube as being of any significance from an ad revenue perspective. But I have to reconsider the situation now and think about whether I want to make videos for ad revenue… Continue reading Ad revenue from YouTube-worth chasing?
Peeling the spuds while making a video
I made a video yesterday evening as I peeled potatoes for the dinner. And it elicited a tremendous response, especially about the everyday activity I was engaged in as I made the video. Commenters asked what kind of potatoes they were, advised me to buy a potato peeler as it would be quicker, how I… Continue reading Peeling the spuds while making a video
Smart alec comments will be ignored
It would be easy for me to be put off my stride by unpleasant, sneering comments on my YouTube channel, and let those comments determine or influence how I make my videos. But it is something I must guard against and ensure it does not happen. Because for every smart alec, sneering comment there are… Continue reading Smart alec comments will be ignored
The comments online about the Nikita Hand/Conor McGregor case
Some of the comments on my YouTube channel in relation to the Conor McGregor case have been shocking. What surprises me, however, is that a good number of the appalling comments are from women. I would have thought that chauvinism and misogyny could explain the appalling, gross, invasive comments from men. But the comments from… Continue reading The comments online about the Nikita Hand/Conor McGregor case
