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.

Sunday Posting
Sunshine Sunday everyone! I’m sure the group has already spoken about this (I’m newer to the group) but for the first time I posted on Sunday. Has anyone else ever posted on Sunday and do you find it’s not the best day for views? Thank you everyone!

I post on Sundays and I've had good and bad results with my views...with the lowest views being more recent (which everyone has complained about lately, regardless of the day they post). But it's the day I chose because it works better for my schedule because, like you, monetization wasn't my goal. But posting weekly, on Sundays, my channel got monetized in a year.
I Do Not Like Shorts...But Apparently Everyone Else Does
Before I start my rant, I want to clarify that this is in no way a post to get anyone to look at my videos. With that out of the way... So, I saw a meme and it made me reflect on how people are so quick to judge, criticize and gossip. I decided to make a video about it, and in less than 72 hours, I was judged at a doctor's appointment. It bothered me so much that I recorded myself reacting to what happened. I made it for myself, but my husband convinced me to post it. Since it was in vertical format and under 1 minute, I just left it that way and loaded it as a short. 2k+ views in 24 hours is ridiculously insane for what I posted. Too bad the algorithm doesn't love my videos the same way. 🙄

@Karen Taylor it was the nurse who took us into the exam room together and stayed with us through the entire appointment. That is why it was so bizarre. I posted it just to vent my frustration and am completely shocked at how many views it has received. It resulted in a new sub that expect to unsubscribe when he/she realizes I don't post Shorts. 🙃

@L T because I'm a big-chested girl, I always get the pat-down. My running joke is they don't think I'm smuggling anything, they are trying to determine if they're real. 🙃 I feel the same way as Kevin Kolbe about Shorts. The things I talk about on my channel aren't good for Shorts. I actually recorded that to share with my sister and when I put it in the group chat, I had multiple family members tell me to post it.
I did it!!!!!
The most terrifying thing, I actually spoke, face on, on the camera! Ok I hid behind a book for some of it, but I challenged myself and I did it! I just watched it and it was very cringe, I daren't watch before as I would never have published it, so the audio is a bit off, and I am sure my face looks unnaturally red but I did it! I had one major event where I did have to stop and start when I knocked a lamp over but I jumped right back in and made myself finish! I tried my daughter's iPhone to take some photos in the garden the other day, and the colour and cinematic mode are amazing in the newer phones! So much better than the old camera that I have!

@L T I am getting better. In the beginning ot was hard, but my husband came up with a way to help...he sits behind the camera and I talk to him. After a year of using him as a crutch, my last video was just me. I think I did OK. But I am more relaxed when I have him there. 😉
How do you record and edit... gear etc?
Asking as I have hit a few issues (mainly user error), and had several duff vidoes as a result! My plan was to make do with my broken phone as long as possible but it is limiting, so I am thinking of getting a little camera. I have blocks around that, which was the subject of one of my failed videos!). I have found a little DJI mic to hopefully solve the audio issues. Upgrading my phone is not really an option at the moment. Also want to try and set up a space in a smaller room with no echo, and rugs etc! Also, is anyone else here using DaVinci Resolve?
