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
Even if I am the only reader, it’s worth it
Even if nobody reads this post, or anything on this blog, I still get a great deal of benefit from maintaining it and keeping it going. I was considering yesterday whether I would quit or not. I was noting that the written word nowadays does not hold much sway online, and video is the way… Continue reading Even if I am the only reader, it’s worth it
Daily blogging-is it worth it in 2025?
I must consider, from time to time, whether my time spent writing on this blog is a good use of my time. Things have changed quite a good deal from a few short years ago when the written word online still had some power. Now, effective online marketing is all about video. Therefore, if one… Continue reading Daily blogging-is it worth it in 2025?
A benefit of getting older
One of the benefits of getting older is you have a clearer picture of things, and a more accurate perspective. You may not be any smarter or astute or given to making better decisions. But you should be able to see things in the round and from a distance, rather than getting bogged down in… Continue reading A benefit of getting older
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
Paying for podcast episodes?
I am still considering putting certain of my content behind some type of pay wall and let people choose to access it or not. I have considered YouTube memberships on more than one occasion during the year and have pulled back. But I return again and again to the idea of creating exclusive content on… Continue reading Paying for podcast episodes?
Enoch Burke-where, and how, will this end?
Enoch Burke was released from Mountjoy Prison by the High Court yesterday. He had not purged his contempt. In fact, I am not even sure he was invited, as he usually is, to purge it. But the Judge took the view that Burke’s preference, for whatever reason, was to stay in jail. So he released… Continue reading Enoch Burke-where, and how, will this end?
The underrated value of communication
I have learned over the years about the value of communication and the ability to communicate well with whoever you are seeking to reach. With every year that passes I am even more convinced about the value of communication skills, especially in my profession as a solicitor. One of the constant criticisms I read and… Continue reading The underrated value of communication
Is overexposure even possible on the internet?
I have got my video creation and editing process down efficiently. I can make and edit and publish a video on my YouTube channel in a short period of time. I could probably do one in 10 minutes, start to finish and uploaded to YouTube. A further 10 minutes would allow me to distribute that… Continue reading Is overexposure even possible on the internet?
Sean Burke jailed and the comments
I published a video yesterday about the jailing of Enoch Burke’s father, Sean Burke, for assaulting a woman garda in the Court of Appeal in 2023. Most comments would cause you to despair. For they are full of hatred, irrationality, and demonstrate a singular inability or unwillingness to think rationally. The video is here on… Continue reading Sean Burke jailed and the comments
