This has been an extremely hectic week and I didn't have time to put together any new lessons for video editing. However, I have a few random/rambling kinds of things to share so the week won't be a total silence 😄The first thing on the rambling list is AI and SEO - With all the prolific content being produced by AI, it is harder to determine what is real or computer generated. However we still want and need the human element in the basis of the information that we consume. YouTube is still a medium (and will remain so) that is very much "human-centric". What I mean is that if you see a real live, breathing human sitting in front of the camera and sharing their personal knowledge with you, you know it's source. It is our life experience being shared. People watch, like, and CONNECT. As ...

While all realtors recognize the importance of generating leads and dedicate significant time to it, far fewer invest substantial efforts into customer retention. Consequently, despite achieving high levels of customer satisfaction, many struggle to secure repeat business. Research conducted by Remax indicates that although approximately 90% of clients were happy with their realtors and expressed willingness to do business with them again, a mere 17% actually did. While some of this discrepancy may be attributed to clients no longer residing in that local market, after all many people selling a home do so because they are moving far away, those who used a realtor to buy a home could be expected to return when selling later down the road. Assuming that roughly half of the polled individu...

In this week's post of our YouTube Thursdays series, we are going to get back into video editing. The last few weeks we diverged a bit from editing so we could be inspired some from fellow members and their YouTube channels. We also took a look at YouTube channel banner artwork. You can see all previous week's posts via the link above if you want to catch up.This week we are going to take a look at another one of the resources that we have to include in our video projects. When we have photos related to our subject, we can drop them into our timeline. Ideally with our business video projects, we will not simply be creating "video slideshows" because the value of doing that is only marginally better than just posting an online photo album. However, if we are doing video projects composed...

Source: Statista Despite the ongoing transition to 5G, which has thrown a lifeline to smartphone manufacturers struggling to keep up growth in the maturing smartphone market, global smartphone shipments dropped to the lowest level in a decade last year. According to estimates from IDC, smartphone vendors shipped 1.17 billion devices last year, down more than 20 percent from 2016, when smartphone shipments peaked at 1.47 billion units. While many experts think that “peak smartphone” is already behind us, market research group IDC remains hopeful for the industry to return to growth in 2024 and beyond. "The tide has finally turned and it feels safe to say the worst is behind us," Nabila Popal, research director at IDC, said in November 2023. "As we enter the new era of low single-digit gr...
