Time for a new mic upgrade

I’m a firm believer that the sound element of a video is just as (if not more?) important that the actual film. Therefore, for the past couple of months, I have been using one of the Lekato Lavalier Microphones, and I can’t fault them at all. They’re easy use, comes in a pair so I […]

Time to upgrade the hardware?

The last few months have been a real learning curve, on so many levels. But one of the toughest lessons has been the practicalities of shooting and editing videos. That said, it is something that I have genuinely enjoyed, and ‘think’ I’m starting to get a bit better at. But for a while now I […]

Using Twitter to unlock your online presence

I’ve always enjoyed using Twitter, but wouldn’t call myself a prolific tweeter. But over the last few months, my use of twitter has changed somewhat. I’m now using it as a tool to actively engage with others, rather than just using it as an endless feed of information and opinion. And since then, I’ve found […]

Make sure you look after your tools

Your tools are there to look after you as part of your system. So it is only right that you look after them to. I mean a chef would always make sure his favourite knife is sharp. And look how much effort racing teams put into looking after their cars. I mean without them, what […]

Will music make my videos better?

Music has the power to inspire and move so many people. You only have to look at sites like musicnotes.com to see the impact that music can have. And not only on musicians, but people from all walks of life. Philosophers, artists and scientists all revel in their love for music. But, what impact would […]

Those that create should consume

It’s all too easy to get your head buried in learning, writing, recording or whatever format your creation is. But one thing that can be easily overlooked is to continue consuming. One reason I decided to take the plunge with creating digital content is because I love it so much. So, why would I then […]

When inspiration strikes… quick, write it down!!

Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them David allen I’ve been thinking recently that I need an improved way of capturing my thoughts quickly. I find that ideas (or more likely inspiration) tend to come to me relatively often. But my memory has never been the best, so I need to make sure […]

TubeBuddy – the YouTube SEO Tool

I’ve been recording and editing my videos for a little while now, and the process is always a little clunky. I thought this was simply down to me being a complete newcomer (or noob if you’d prefer!). However, after a bit of looking around, I came across TubeBuddy. TubeBuddy is a Chrome extension and app […]

A shortcut to getting your site’s SEO sorted

One thing that I hadn’t quite got around to yet was getting to grips with the Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) for this site. It sounds big and scary, and it essentially means that search engines like google can find your site and the relevant pages. All in all, a pretty big deal really… So, today […]

How do you take and organise your notes?

I find my self taking a lot of notes at the moment, whether that be while I’m listening to an audiobook or podcast, watching a Skillshare video or reading a book. My preference is to do this digitally, usually on my iPad, although I do sometime take notes by hand or even rarely on my […]
