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?
More business and investment related videos in 2025
In 2025 I think I will focus more of my attention on business related videos and what I have learned as a small business owner in Ireland since December 1986. The experience I have gained in a wide range of industries and economic circumstances is probably something I should be tapping into to a greater… Continue reading More business and investment related videos 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.

Don’t take them for granted
I was making a vlog the other day for my YouTube channel in the garage at home when I knocked over my Sony ZV E10 camera and broke the lens.

Will the Enoch Burke circus recommence again in January?
Will the Enoch Burke circus recommence again in January when the schools reopen? Will he show up at Wilson’s Hospital School in contravention of the High Court order forbidding him from trespassing? Most people seem to think he will, and if past form is anything to go by it is likely. What is he achieving,… Continue reading Will the Enoch Burke circus recommence again in January?
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
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.

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
