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

A video experiment on YouTube
I am publishing what is probably the longest video I have ever published on my YouTube channel, save for Livestreams, this morning. It is a day in the life type video made on the 19th November 2023. It shows me going for my morning run on a wet November morning and then heading to Dublin,… Continue reading A video experiment on YouTube
Small business marketing is about making choices about your time
When you are a small business owner and you are doing your own marketing your time is valuable and limited.

The key to successful content marketing-this bird photographer gets it
I started following a guy-Simon d’Entremont- on YouTube recently, whose channel deals with photography and bird photography.

I am trying something new on my YouTube channel today. I am going to upload an extra-long video-up to 1 hour or thereabouts-to see how it performs. And the great thing about this particular tactic is I do not have to make any new content, or only an extremely small piece of new content. What… Continue reading My long form video experiment on YouTube seeks to exploit the ‘binge watch’ phenomenon
Making off piste videos and generating clients
I wrote a blog post last week about the remarkable ability of random things to create connection. Since then, I have had further evidence of this underrated, overlooked phenomenon. I had a consultation with an individual about the breakdown of a marriage of many decades. The individual who came to see me for advice was evidently… Continue reading Making off piste videos and generating clients
A short, vertical video experiment on YouTube
I published a short, vertical video on YouTube yesterday evening at around 9 pm. It was only about 50 seconds long and it was simply me baking sourdough bread at the weekend. There were no words, no speaking but I got a nice piece of music from the free YouTube music library. All the music… Continue reading A short, vertical video experiment on YouTube
20,000 YouTube subscribers-I have reached a milestone
I reached a milestone yesterday when I noticed I had reached 20,000 subscribers to my YouTube channel. It is hard to believe given I am a one man band and have made all the videos myself since the first in 2010 or 2011. Over the last year or so it became apparent, however, that the… Continue reading 20,000 YouTube subscribers-I have reached a milestone
