This YouTube channel’s success is remarkable

I came across a YouTube channel yesterday which got me thinking. Firstly, the channel has 480,000 subscribers yet is less than one year old. Secondly, the maker of the channel never shows her face in her videos. Thirdly, there is no speaking, no voiceover or piece to camera. What there is instead is text on… Continue reading This YouTube channel’s success is remarkable

50,000 YouTube subscribers in 2025?

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?

Ad revenue from YouTube-worth chasing?

The significant revenue increase on my YouTube channel from my videos covering the Conor McGregor trial have been an eye opener. I never saw YouTube as being of any significance from an ad revenue perspective. But I have to reconsider the situation now and think about whether I want to make videos for ad revenue… Continue reading Ad revenue from YouTube-worth chasing?

I reached 35,000 YouTube subscribers yesterday

I reached 35,000 YouTube subscribers over the weekend. This is a metric that I keep a close eye on, and I admit to taking some pride in reaching this figure. Leaving aside the pride, however, my YouTube channel has played such a pivotal role in the growth of my solicitor’s practice and my personal brand… Continue reading I reached 35,000 YouTube subscribers yesterday

My YouTube poll on facts only versus opinion/commentary

I ran a poll yesterday on my YouTube channel asking people if they wanted my opinion on particular issues or topics or cases about which I make videos. Or did they just want the facts. This morning, 86% have indicated that they want the facts and my opinion or my opinion. That is a pretty… Continue reading My YouTube poll on facts only versus opinion/commentary

Heading for 30,000 YouTube subscribers and doing it my way

I am heading for 30,000 YouTube subscribers to my YouTube channel. And one of the things that gives me great satisfaction about this milestone is that I have done it, to a large extent, my way. By this I mean the variety of subject matter I have covered on my channel to date does not… Continue reading Heading for 30,000 YouTube subscribers and doing it my way

The unforeseen benefit of blogging every day

I never thought when I started this blog and made a promise to myself that I would write something here every day that it would give rise to a series of videos which I publish on my YouTube channel. The reason I resolved to write something every day was simply to maintain my writing muscle.… Continue reading The unforeseen benefit of blogging every day

Relational versus transactional videos and a subtle transition

My attempts to create more relational type videos rather than strictly transactional videos is going well. There appears to be a good interest in the day in the life type of video. And I do not believe that is a surprise as people have a great interest in the daily lives of others. The explosion… Continue reading Relational versus transactional videos and a subtle transition

Being recognised out and about from my YouTube channel

I was in Galway last weekend for a couple of nights over the bank holiday weekend. And, as usual, I was recognised by a couple of guys who welcomed me to Galway and told me they enjoyed my YouTube channel and that they were subscribers. The two meetings were on different days and with unrelated… Continue reading Being recognised out and about from my YouTube channel
