Thrice A Day
Setting a schedule and sticking to it gets you that much closer to your goals.
YouTube
So, I’ve been cranking out 3 videos a day on my Pioneer Skill Set channel. That’s only 14 more days until I’m through my set. After that, I’m moving on to another niche. This sucker needs to marinate a while. My friend, Trey Morgan, pointed out SocialMarker as a tool for getting bookmarks on my videos. I’ll have to get cracking with that. I’ve been checking out my current rankings with YouTube Rank Checker and the picture is less rosy than I’d hoped. I also need to start a Facebook page for Pioneer Skill Set to pin my video postings to and start some pin boards on Pinterest.
I’ve got my articles configured for video creation through Saturday. I’ll take some time today to get the audio recorded and then start configuring articles into next week. Since Sunday is Easter and I’ll be away part of the day, I’m going to have to have that all squared away tomorrow or Saturday. I’ll have to start making playlists. When I figure out which ones go together, I can append a couple of those together to make some thematic podcasts that can be posted to podcasting sites. One way or another, I’m getting some freaking traffic to my site!
Reschedule
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow. ~Mark Twain
Starting in April, I’m switching my blog schedule from every other day to every third day. I have some project work to do and I really don’t have that much to blog about. I’m not one of those gadflies who can just babble incessantly every day. Blogging introvert is not a good combo. If I have something to say, I’ll say it. Otherwise, I’ll have to torture myself to come up with some kind of a freaking post. Sometimes more successfully than others. I love sharing my thoughts with you, but I don’t have many to spare after a day of video construction.
Writing
The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery. ~Francis Bacon
Well, I certainly enjoy a Byzantine plot twist so I suppose Sir Francis is on to something there. I’ve got some interesting ideas for my Sentinels series of novels that I can’t wait to start getting together. What I’m envisioning is a collection of short stories that will be given away free. The stories dovetail with the novel as a sort of book-trailer-in-text. I hope the novelty of the approach will create an initial fan base and some potential customers who are eager for the release of the actual books.
Three videos each day until completion. Three meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) until satiated. Three timeframes a day (morning, noon and night) for getting things done. Good things come in threes. Let’s roll with that for now.
