I'm starting TODAY!
I can't increase my frequency till November so I've delayed starting a little bit till today. I made a little video about why October 1st is a really good day to start new things ready to hit the ground running in January. So it's out there now. Here we go!

Video Intros...
What are your preferences as a viewer as far as video intros go? It seems there are three kinds, at least from my research, (90 day Challenge Day... ✔️)... 1. The exact same intro every time, specific to that creator with their design, graphics, effects, music etc. Kind of like a TV show I guess. 2. The little bites of the video, tiny clips from various parts, often with music in the background. 3. No intro at all, just straight in there with maybe a quick hello. Currently my videos are pretty much unedited, unpolished and uncurated, so I am definitely in the latter categeory. But I think I like category 2 best as a viewer. The first is my least favourite and I tend to skip past it. Bonus Grinch winge, is that I really do not like the videos where the person tells you ten times what they are going to tell you, then about two thirds of the way through the video they still haven't told you anything!

I agree so much about getting irritated by people repeating what they’re going to tell you and then not actually telling you. I’m also not a fan of the 1) approach and prefer 2) or 3). I’m still experimenting with different styles for my own videos but I’m not bothering with whizzy graphics

@L T I completely understand that conundrum. I’m used to being public via other social media and through work but it’s very different on YouTube with my actual face saying words to camera - very nerve wracking. When I first shared a short and it got 1000 views in a couple of hours I was terrified 🤣
30 Videos in 30 Days... Check ✔️
Every single day of September, I recorded, edited and uploaded a video! The editing may have been minimal, and lacking in places, but I have learned a few things, and it is a journey. I have also been assured by my most loyal followers that I should keep everything on my current channel because they are there for it all...! So we'll see. As I said in one of my videos, I am never going to be able to do the "n" thing. Restricting my creativity and love of learning and sharing has never been something that fits me. So I shall be like a river, with lots of streams and creeks and channels and burns and becks. Thank you all for your support... long may we flow! And ya know what? I don't want to stop!! I shall be treating myself to a new tripod!

Very well done!
How to make a business card for your channel + Canva template.
If you want to make a business card for your channel, I have just made one. All printed now for this pringle ready to mingle! I have put the Word document showing every step, in the "Classroom" tab as a course, but it isn't a course. Please look for the Classroom tab at the top, to the right of this Community tab. The Canva template is also in there too, let me know if it doesn't work because you know, first time trying this and all 😄 In the interest of speed, it is not pretty, literally a copy and paste into Word of my start to finish conversation I had with Claude.ai to come up with this. Thank you @Jase Nomade for asking for instructions how I did this. This won't be to everyone's liking, but I want to encourage you to try Claude.ai (FREE), to ask for specifics on the style of business card you like. I will also put a digital business card on the wallpaper of my phone for younger people allergic to paper business cards 😂 Please put any questions on this post, but I am pleased with the design.

@Nancy Carter Brilliant!
Who is keen for a Coffee Hour this week?
Who is keen for a Coffee Hour this week, I will hold 1 or even 2 if we have the interest in a couple of time zones that work for whoever is keen ☕ For example, 8am in UK time is 8pm for me. Or 6am for me is 6pm in the UK. And USA it depends where you are, but I am good for both mornings before work, or the evening!

@Karen Taylor yes - I think so although I find it hard enough managing my diary in one time zone! But let’s see if other times work better for other people
