As the votes continue to come in on my poll on YouTube as to the type of content people want to see more of there is a clear pattern developing: I must admit that the figures surprise me. Not the preference for law topics but the small demand for vlogs and a greater interest in… Continue reading Being wary and mindful of vanity metrics on YouTube

My YouTube poll about content for 2024
I’m running a poll at the moment on my YouTube channel. I am asking people what type of content they would like to see more of in 2024. The poll is running around the following figures: The figures have fluctuated since I first put up the poll, just yesterday. So, I will let it run… Continue reading My YouTube poll about content for 2024
Structure of a vlog (Part 2)
I wrote yesterday about the structure of a vlog which one guy (Itz SKY) who I follow on YouTube gave as the standard structure used in television shows which is standard and should be used in your vlogs. I had previously read up and researched how Casey Neistat did it and want to try to… Continue reading Structure of a vlog (Part 2)
Structure of a vlog (Part 1)
I was watching a video yesterday about how a guy who has worked in television in the United States and who is publishing vlogs (almost) daily on YouTube. He uses a structure which he says is in use in television programmes and shows as a matter of best practice. He refers to is as the… Continue reading Structure of a vlog (Part 1)
The performance of the least edited video I have every published is surprising
I have published various vlog type videos on my YouTube channel from time to time. I am fascinated by the vlog concept, the idea of making something interesting or useful from the ordinary, everyday, banal. Some of them have done pretty well, some have disappointed. But the one I published this week is one of… Continue reading The performance of the least edited video I have every published is surprising

Nevertheless, I came across a guy on YouTube at the weekend who is doing it and has apparently… Continue reading Daily or weekly vlogging

I am publishing what is probably the longest video I have ever published on my YouTube channel, save for Livestreams, this morning. It is a day in the life type video made on the 19th November 2023. It shows me going for my morning run on a wet November morning and then heading to Dublin,… Continue reading A video experiment on YouTube
Justifying getting a new camera (Sony ZV-E10)
I derive a great deal of satisfaction, and business, from making and publishing videos online. I have a genuine interest in the filmmaking process and editing and making the videos a little better over time. The fact that they drive an enormous amount of leads and clients is a nice bonus, too. For this reason,… Continue reading Justifying getting a new camera (Sony ZV-E10)
Putting B-Roll footage to valuable use
I have been considering for some time how to use certain video footage I make and enjoy making. For example, GoPro footage from a bike ride around the parish in the morning with the rising sun or evening with the sun setting. Or drone footage. I have never quite known how to incorporate such footage… Continue reading Putting B-Roll footage to valuable use
YouTube livestreams-worth a second look
I have done live video in the past, most recently last weekend on an impromptu, unscheduled YouTube livestream. I have done a little research into the value of livestreams on YouTube and it appears that there are significant benefits including building a closer connection to your audience and the continued utility of the video on… Continue reading YouTube livestreams-worth a second look
