I came across an interesting YouTube channel yesterday: Salaryman Tokyo https://www.youtube.com/@salarymantokyo What was of particular interest was the fact that there was no speaking and you did not get to see the Salaryman behind the channel. Most of the footage was from a POV perspective but anything that included footage of the creator was filmed… Continue reading The Salaryman Tokyo YouTube channel fascinates me and has stimulated my thinking

The difference between these 2 videos could not be greater
I have published a couple of videos on my YouTube channel in the last 2 days and they could not be any different. One is about an important Supreme Court decision from the UK in which the court defined ‘woman’. This is a matter of lifechanging significance for many. One was about me walking down… Continue reading The difference between these 2 videos could not be greater
Developing my own style of vlogging
I had a consultation this week with a client who made a couple of references to me making my ‘canal bank’ videos. My canal bank videos are the ‘walk and talk’ videos I do at lunchtime down the Royal Canal bank in Enfield. They are simply ideas or observations I have made and I record… Continue reading Developing my own style of vlogging
The most efficient videos for my business
I have spent a great deal of time studying video and the different types of video that can be made. From talking head videos to vlogs to silent vlogs to live video, and more.

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
Populist videos versus the more obscure
I am getting a lot of mileage out of my coverage of the Conor McGregor/Nikita Hand civil trial in the High Court. The viewing figures, engagement, comments are off the charts by comparison with my usual videos. But I need to figure out if these types of videos are of practical benefit to me and… Continue reading Populist videos versus the more obscure
Where do you get the time to make videos?
I gave a talk last week in a Webinar about my background, what led me to the profession of being a solicitor, the way I run my practice, and my use of video in my practice. One of the questions that came in was “how do you find the time to make videos?” I explained… Continue reading Where do you get the time to make videos?
The surprising reach of video
I had a meeting last week with an elderly gentleman who wanted to make a couple of small changes in his will. I had taken his instructions and one of the girls was just doing the necessary and printing it off for signing. “I see you bought a property in Cork”, he said. This stunned… Continue reading The surprising reach of video
I ended up shouting at the so-called marketing expert
I ended up shouting at the podcast episode I was listening to on my morning cycle over around Kinnegad, Clogherinkoe and back home. The so-called expert, Mark Schaeffer, on the Social Media Marketing Podcast was talking about Social Media Marketing nowadays and how much it has changed over the last 10 or 20 years. He… Continue reading I ended up shouting at the so-called marketing expert
The power of online video (again)
I have written about the power of online video many times in the past. I must write about it again today for two gentlemen drove from Donegal this week to see me in a consultation. When I asked them why did the come so far, were there no solicitors in Donegal they told me that… Continue reading The power of online video (again)
