I lied, and it was a BIG 1 too – welcome to my Canon
Today, I backed myself to make my channel grow by investing in a real camera… All well and good, but… I have never held a Canon 90D, or any other camera, until today. The lie I mentioned? Well, I started out on my YouTube adventure in September 2021. At that point, I made a promise […]

YouTube, podcasts & 1 more interview
I love this side of the job – sitting with creators, and chewing the fat Talking shop YouTube has kind of taken over my life. I say that, not in a damaging, shocking, or detrimental context, but in a healthy, vibrant way. It was about this time last year, that I jumped ship, and waded […]
YouTube – making my No. 1 app EVEN better!
I often fear make-overs, but so far, this one is looking good! It often goes so wrong! YouTube is almost certainly the app I open first every day. Are you like me, I wonder? When you have become accustomed, and familiar with an app, or website over a number of months or years, the words […]

The Content Creator Economy – what’s ahead?

Did The Genius Bar copy me on this one?
I was listening to The Genius Bar podcast this morning, and it was almost carrying on from where I left off with yesterdays blog…interesting… I’m only kidding really Genius Bar is a great listen. It is hosted by Jon Prosser & Sam Kohl, who I actually had on my Minus Sixteen podcast recently. I listen […]
YouTube is getting super SERIOUS about podcasts! 1 more place to post!
If you thought YouTube was just a video platform – well, think again… What is YouTube up to? In one way or another, podcasts have been part of my life now for nigh on a decade. I have always loved audio, and the catch-up benefits of podcasts appealed to me as a listener from the […]
