100,000 hours of viewing time on my YouTube channel

YouTube let me know this week that I had achieved the milestone of 100,000 hours of viewing time on my YouTube channel. This gives me a great deal of satisfaction and I pay no heed to the fact that my channel is on the go for over 10 years now. Or the fact that I… Continue reading 100,000 hours of viewing time on my YouTube channel

Comments on my Enoch Burke YouTube videos-some are appalling

I am surprised, and appalled, at some of the comments I have read on my YouTube channel regarding the Enoch Burke affair and his committal to Mountjoy prison for contempt of court. I have made a few videos about the situation as it is of general, societal, and legal interest. Issues of religious belief, religious… Continue reading Comments on my Enoch Burke YouTube videos-some are appalling

The pig gets nothing

I have previously observed the good sense in adopting a strategy of ignoring dumb, ignorant, insulting, untrue, offensive comments on social media platforms. Especially on pages that I have control of-for example on my YouTube channel or one of my Facebook pages. Here is an example of the type of deluded, tedious, tin foil hat… Continue reading The pig gets nothing

I bought a GoPro-first video (a cycle around Broadford, Kildare)

I bought a GoPro ‘action camera’ last week and made my first video with it yesterday. I went for a spin around my parish, Broadford, Kildare and strapped the GoPro to my helmet.

But I recognise one of the difficulties is the… Continue reading Vertical video-an easy way for a small business to build a brand

The qualitative difference between social media sites for small business growth

There is a qualitative difference between social media sites when you are looking to generate leads and clients. My experience is that YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn are the best sites when it comes to lead and client generation. I have grown a massive following in a short space of time on TikTok but the platform… Continue reading The qualitative difference between social media sites for small business growth

2,000,000 views on my YouTube channel

2,000,000 views. I was chuffed to receive notification from YouTube that my little YouTube channel had now reached a milestone of 2 million views of my videos. When I started the channel back in 2011, I never thought about 2 million views, or any other milestone like that. It has been easily one of the… Continue reading 2,000,000 views on my YouTube channel

I reached 14,002 YouTube subscribers yesterday

I am chuffed that I have now reached 14,002 YouTube subscribers on my YouTube channel. You might, if you did not know better, see this as some sort of vanity metric. Something with which to stroke the ego. But I know the value and power of YouTube for my business. I have seen it repeatedly… Continue reading I reached 14,002 YouTube subscribers yesterday

Why I won’t be starting a podcast

Podcasts and podcasting are all the rage nowadays. But I won’t be starting one, even though I have been requested to do so by subscribers to my YouTube channel. One of the big advantages of podcasting is the ease with which you can set one up. At a minimum you could actually create one with… Continue reading Why I won’t be starting a podcast
