Because my sewing/craft reviews and tutorials get WAY more views than my marketing/web ones and as I am growing my channel to monetarization status, I need to move these videos on to another channel.

I have the best job in the world! I get to work with YOU!

I have the best job in the world. I get to work with YOU! And I’m speaking directly to “you” – the clients that I have (primarily) but also the clients like them that I don’t yet have. Let me explain, I’ve spent 30+ years as a graphic and web designer/developer and marketer. I owned a marketing agency for decades.

In a world with AI generated images and written content, are blogs even valid?

In a world with AI generated images and written content, are blogs even valid? The consensus among marketers in a select audience of high level marketers is that yes, there’s still room for blogs…for a while.
