I publish a large amount of video content on various social media channels. Video marketing plays a central role in the marketing of my business and my own brand (being a sole trader/sole practitioner). Much of my content generates a great deal of comment, which is great as I want my stuff to generate engagement… Continue reading Getting dragged down by asinine, uninformed comments
Growing my YouTube channel in 2024
The feedback and votes in my YouTube poll about what type of new content subscribers and viewers would like to see more of in 2024 has been tremendously helpful. It was always my intention to carry out such a poll but it was a comment on one of my videos that prompted some soul searching… Continue reading Growing my YouTube channel in 2024
Being wary and mindful of vanity metrics on YouTube
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

“This is not who we are” rings hollow
The news over the weekend of the burning of the hotel in Galway earmarked for 70 asylum seekers later this week is an embarrassment to all of us. The cries of “this is now who we are” rings hollow. Because this is clearly what some of us are, at least. The symbolism of the act… Continue reading “This is not who we are” rings hollow
TikTok reply videos-a sneaking suspicion
I have a sneaking suspicion that reply videos on TikTok perform better than any other type of video you might upload. A TikTok reply video is simply a short video replying to some comment on a previous video on your page. My rough, unscientific data and observation leads me to believe that TikTok treats these… Continue reading TikTok reply videos-a sneaking suspicion
Dancing for the sake of dancing
We had our work Christmas outing last night in the Hamlet Court Hotel, Johnstownbridge. It was a “party night” affair with food, a live band and a guy playing ‘disco’ music afterwards. I noticed, once the music started, a girl on the far side of the dance floor. Because the minute the music started, she… Continue reading Dancing for the sake of dancing
The biggest cause of bad reviews
If you provide professional advice to the world at large you will encounter bad reviews from time to time. The single biggest cause of these reviews, however, is not your advice. It is the gap between the expectations of the person you are advising and the reality of the situation. If someone comes to you… Continue reading The biggest cause of bad reviews
A traitor to your people
A commenter accused me of being a “traitor to your people” under my latest Enoch Burke video, the one explaining Burke’s appearance in the High Court last week and being given the opportunity to purge his contempt and be released from Mountjoy prison. Burke failed to avail of the opportunity and was returned to prison.… Continue reading A traitor to your people
