I am not sure why my YouTube channel has experienced such a spell of growth as it has in the last month or so. To put the growth in context, in December I was growing at a rate of 200-300 new subscribers every 28 days. In the last 28 days, however, I have gained 1,600… Continue reading My YouTube channel has taken off (and I’m not sure why)

Podcasts on YouTube
Did you know that YouTube have got into podcasting in the last year or two? And not just video podcasts, but regular audio podcasts. I submit the RSS feed from my podcast, “The Irish Law and Small Business Podcast”, from Spotify/Anchor to YouTube. The results have been pleasantly surprising.

Reaching 25,000 subscribers on YouTube
My YouTube subscriber count crashed through the 25,000 barrier sometime overnight. I have 25,018 subscribers as I write this now on the 2nd January 2024.

Heading for 25,000 subscribers on YouTube
My YouTube channel is heading for 25,000 subscribers in the near future, touch wood. And it will be an achievement that I never thought I would see. In fact, I never even thought about setting such a target in 2010 or 2011 when I uploaded my first video to YouTube. The journey to this point,… Continue reading Heading for 25,000 subscribers on YouTube

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
My YouTube poll about content for 2024
I’m running a poll at the moment on my YouTube channel. I am asking people what type of content they would like to see more of in 2024.

So, I will let it run… Continue reading My YouTube poll about content for 2024
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
YouTube livestreams-worth a second look
I have done live video in the past, most recently last weekend on an impromptu, unscheduled YouTube livestream. I have done a little research into the value of livestreams on YouTube and it appears that there are significant benefits including building a closer connection to your audience and the continued utility of the video on… Continue reading YouTube livestreams-worth a second look
