I’m in an upward trajectory in general and working on my whole online interface as it relates to my message, my content and all of my pursuits. I’m taking an intensive YouTube education course that is very eye opening and I think will really help me get my message out more and more effectively. Part of that process if figuring out who I’m talking to out there and who I want to be talking to. I’d like to hear from any of you regarding almost anything related to your pursuits and interest in subjects I cover, or interaction with me and my content. It could be stuff like what interests brought you here, how you use my content, if you live a lifestyle that utilizes the type of things I talk about, or maybe you plan to live that lifestyle someday. Really, I’m interested in you talking about yourself as it relates to not just what I offer, but what you think I can offer you. Sometimes that stuff is not just practical either, but maybe inspirational or supportive of interests that maybe are not so common among other people you rub shoulders.

Feel free to go on and on and tell me your life story or anything you feel is relevant. I’ll read everything anyone writes. You can leave a comment or email me through the contact link on the website here. If you have any issues leaving comments here, please let me know about that too. One reason I don’t blog more is that I have zero idea if anyone is actually reading the stuff or getting anything out of it, because there is almost no feedback. I’ll put a bunch of time into a post, send it out into the world and it’s usually pretty much crickets. I don’t necessarily need a lot of validation for my ego or anything (well, mabye some..), but I literally forget to post stuff here, like when I release a video, because it’s easy to forget when there is so little feedback.

It may be that the comments plug in I’m using is not user friendly, or people don’t want to sign up, but until I know that, I can’t fix it. For all I know, my blog posts just suck. They suck lately, because it’s usually an afterthought and I’m not willing to invest when I don’t know if they are doing any good. So, I’m also very interested in feedback on why I don’t get any significant engagement on blog posts. I love writing and I can use it to complement videos well if I put in the time. But it is very time consuming.

With Mom and a basket of apples we picked for taste testing- new seedlings, heirlooms and moderns. Now you know where I get my youthful good looks from. She’s no spring chicken, as she would say, and still going strong.

Otherwise, I’m looking at my total content strategy and how I can serve people out there better, get more eyes, have more influence and bring in more money. In spite of much of the last few years being very demoralizing and difficult, I’m bouncing back strong and still have basically the same dreams to manifest enough resources to hire some help and make a few larger research and development projects happen related to orcharding, tanning, and possibly other stuff.

I want to hone my messages and content to be much more focused and effective in helping people with certain problems and generally inspiring and expanding my audiences options and interests. That may involve splintering off certain subjects to cover on other youtube channels and blogs, and possibly eventually hosting forums. If will also involve filling in blanks and getting new folks up to speed with foundational skills. The rock on which the foundation for all of that will be built is who exactly my audience is, so this is me doing my homework and asking. How is this interface between you and I working, what interests you, how do you live or how do you want to live and where do you watch or read my stuff and which do you prefer. Thanks do much in advance for any feedback you feel inclined to offer :)
