I’m in two minds about a particular type of video I intend making and publishing on my YouTube channel. The video type to which I refer is footage from my cycle and/or Vespa rides with a GoPro or Osmo Action 4 camera. I cannot make up my mind as to whether to keep law and… Continue reading Puzzling over my Vespa/cycling videos

My experimental video tanked (so far)
I published a video on my YouTube channel at the weekend as an experiment. The video is 45 minutes of me riding my Vespa around the roads at home. I don’t think I say anything and certainly make no comment about law or business. It was just a lot of footage I had taken with… Continue reading My experimental video tanked (so far)
Finding a good audio solution for motovlogging-why?
I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to find a good audio solution for doing videos or vlogs from my Vespa scooter. The biggest problems confronting anyone doing “motovlogging” are I was out yesterday testing a Sony Lavalier microphone. That is a little mic I can feed into the helmet and which you might usually… Continue reading Finding a good audio solution for motovlogging-why?
Heading for 30,000 YouTube subscribers
My subscriber count on my YouTube channel stands at 28,623 today. My next obvious goal is the target of 30,000. This would be an achievement, if I make it, of great satisfaction and pride. I watch a lot of YouTube videos on a wide range of topics. But many of them are about making videos,… Continue reading Heading for 30,000 YouTube subscribers
Vespa videos with good audio?
I have just received a little connection from Amazon. It will allow me to connect my DJI Osmo Action 4 camera to a lavalier microphone. The microphone can then be fed into my scooter helmet allowing me to make videos on my Vespa, if I want, and have good audio. It will not make a… Continue reading Vespa videos with good audio?
Making ‘average’ but ‘sleeper’ videos
I published two videos over the last 2 days on Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday. The first one was about a developer suing a planning objector for the return of €20,000 and damages in respect of a planning application of the developers. I knew before I published this video that it would perform well and… Continue reading Making ‘average’ but ‘sleeper’ videos
The best way to use my Vespa/cycling footage
I am in two minds as to the best way to use any Vespa or cycling video footage in my videos. Regarding the Vespa footage, which is of the Irish countryside in North Kildare and is very attractive, I can simply let the footage speak for itself. Or I can add music and turn down… Continue reading The best way to use my Vespa/cycling footage
The strength of the connection caused by video
The strength of the connection caused by video is amazing. I understood when I started making videos that I would cause a connection between me and some of my viewers. But the strength of that connection has been genuinely surprising. I was out the other morning on my Vespa for a spin and a cyclist… Continue reading The strength of the connection caused by video
My YouTube change of strategy has paid off but I am changing again
I have had great results recently on my YouTube channel since I increased the number of videos I have published. You will see from the graphic from my YouTube analytics that I have achieved 175% more views than usual, made more revenue from advertising, and gained 281 more subscribers that usual-that is, 671 new subscribers… Continue reading My YouTube change of strategy has paid off but I am changing again
Seeking support for my YouTube channel (still on the fence)
I have been thinking for a little while about setting up a “BuyMeACoffee” for my YouTube channel. This service is similar to the Patreon service to seek support for your YouTube channel, but I think the big difference-I may be wrong-is that the “BuyMeACoffee” system is entirely voluntary. In other words, whether you buy me… Continue reading Seeking support for my YouTube channel (still on the fence)
