    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    I spent AGES on a new video. I wrote and rewrote the script, redid the voiceover loads, then adding the imagery last night. It took hours to create a 35 second video, but I learned a lot and will be much faster next time, AND I can see all sorts of other videos I can make with the techniques...

    Thanks! No pints for me. I spent the evening and into the wee hours creating a 35 second video!

    Hi, my name is Sim Dong-wook.

    INTRO 
    There's sooo much money in games, more than the movie and music industries combined. My son's play Roblox and I swear all their pocket money goes into Robux (it's digital currency). And they mostly watch videos on YouTube about gaming (also Mr Beast, and Rick and Morty). You might like this...

    Retention Optimization Services Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    I tried clipping my longer videos and it's an absolute pita. I don't read a script and my natural style is to be excited and go off at tangents. I think scripted shorts will work better, but then writing and reading a script are whole new skills that I've not figured out yet. I just think...

    Last week: 1) A lad in Ireland is starting up an agency to help water damage restoration businesses in the US and I said I'd help him out. He's generated a few leads using Facebook ads. We hopped on a call with a business owner and I did my usual thing and they said they'd never had it...

    One of my neighbour's sons works for TrojanTrack. They get a horse to walk past the camera and it does gait analysis and tells them of potential injuries and recommends training programmes. It only needs about 10 seconds of footage.

    At the risk of keeping you consuming... the first couple of rows of links in my signature is all about helping people get started. Here's what it looks like currently. Some are videos or podcasts that you can listen to on the train or in the car. Or on the throne if you so wish. Get Started...

    Retention Optimization Services Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    What online communities would have members interested in retention optimisation? I'm sure there's loads, and you could get some tips from my "How to use forums and Facebook groups" thread. For YouTube are you doing vertical or landscape videos? I'm starting back on YouTube again and I'm going...

    Do you see the startup language here? Audience, launching, traction? I've worked with loads of startups, and people trying to get started in business. I think startup language puts a layer between us and the people we're trying to help. An audience is a byproduct of helping or entertaining...

    You'd think it would be that simple. They gave me the keywords, I got the ad copy approved, I even built campaigns. But they've never even been run and they churned as a client (because they shut the startup down). The data I could have got them in a day would have been invaluable. Note to...

    I wish marketing clients would let me just run campaigns to find out if it will work, rather than have endless meetings about whether to run the test in the first place. It would be done in a couple of days and cost under $50. But no... "We have to consult the board."

    Thanks @Roli. Yeah he's already used Blender. At the minute he's using Adobe After Effects with a few additional plugins.

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I've rarely put a CTA into any of my videos. Most have no intro either... I mostly use YouTube to host chats I've had with people. I got Gemini (and various Notebooks I'd created in NotebookLM) to help me write the script for a YouTube Short. The goal is to get views (by the right...

    I got Gemini (and various Notebooks I'd created in NotebookLM) to help me write the script for a YouTube Short. I did the voiceover last night and edited it with Descript (which is still amazing). I listened back to it this morning and there's not enough punch to it, and I'm not putting...

    I spoke to a couple of people this week and mentioned we were homeschooling our son and that he was focused on video editing. BOTH asked if he could do video editing for them. It's one of those skills where the younger you are the better at it people think you are.

    We had the home schooling assessor round today. At the start, the assessor said they'd never had an application like the one we sent in, and that he can't see them not approving the request. It was funny seeing him trying to figure out how to fill in the forms, because we're not following a...
