 Hi, I'm Mitch Mitchell and today is the final video for April 2016 That's basically 21 videos in 30 days But if you want to know the reality, it's basically 21 videos in 10 days because I shot the videos Most of them ahead of time. Matter of fact all of them ahead of time When compared to the date they were supposed to come out So I actually finished this particular video two weeks ago and I Thought that this was an interesting project to take on I mentioned that it's basically Well, I got the idea from a young lady named Amy Schmidt Tower. I think that's how you say her name I really need to connect to her most probably I will put something on here so that you can go check her channel out because I think she's brilliant I think she's she's you know, give some very good information and And she's not bad to look at yeah, I could say that come on I'm allowed to notice that women might look good anyhow. She's young, but she's good She knows her thing about social media marketing and so basically they set up this thing where it was a video a day in April but they were mainly doing blogging a lot of those folks did that which is basically kind of a video diary of their day And I only did that a couple of times matter of fact, you know I looked back at all the videos that I did for the month and I thought it was kind of an interesting mix because I'm not someone who likes to be pigeonholed into one specific thing You know, I like to do a whole bunch of different types of things So I did some motivational videos I did some things where I talked about how to do different things on on social media Blogging I talked about writing. I talked about diversity Which is something I don't necessarily talk about a lot on this particular channel, but I talked about diversity I talked about entertainment goodness. I talked about Superman I talked about people who pay money to go see movies just to hate on them and I shared some movies that I like that Critics didn't like I talked about marketing. I talked about money. I talked about reading books, you know I covered a lot of different topics and You know, I'm one of those people who believes that even if you have a specific niche that you don't have to Define it so tightly that you don't know what to produce anymore I mean, so many people have given up blogging because they set a standard that they can't keep up with a particular topic I like to bring up as far as blogging and niche is something that was called forensic loan analysis many years ago someone came to me and said hey Do you think you can write on forensic loan analysis? And I went and did some research I said no, I said I could probably write two articles and wouldn't know where to go after that because it's such a tightly defined thing I talk about blogging I can go all over because blogging I could talk about social media because it Can relate to blogging I can talk about writing I can add all the different kinds of things and relate it to blogging and I've done it I've used chess. I've used airports. I've used poker. I've used Harry Potter I mean, you know, I can go almost anywhere to talk about blogging and of course if I start talking about writing I can tell kind of things that social media is all over the place. I can tie it into communications I can do tons of things and I tried to show Here a few different types of things one that I'm not a one-trick pony to that you don't have to be a one-trick pony Three that you can be creative on the fly. I mean, like I said, I basically did these 21 videos in 10 days and I you know, I came up with the topic I thought about it a little bit tried to define it and then I did it and The thumbnails for each day was something that basically I just thought of at that moment I'm not one of those people. I'm not a designer. I can't make anything really fancy. I'm not a drawer I love to take pictures, but you know, I'm not good at staging any of that kind of stuff So basically, you know what I put it out there I'm not one of those people who sits around and waits for things to be perfect. I want to produce I want to try to be good. I want to be as good as I can. I Do that with some things and I don't do that with some others, but I Will get things done if there's a project that needs to be done I'll get it done if there's something I really want to do then I'll do it and get it done So here I was doing my 21 videos. I tried to get interviews I really wanted to have some interviews in this process and I can't believe how many folks Wouldn't talk to me on camera had nothing to do with me But these are people said, oh god, I I can't be on a camera. Oh, I'd be so nervous. I I Don't get that but then again, there are people who are scared of public speaking. That's never been a problem I've had so you know, I hope to have at least one Yeah, I'm way behind on my goal of interviews for the year because I haven't had any this year that I've done for anyone else Although I was part of a part of a podcast That I actually did last November on the topic of leadership and I'm just throwing that out there because I'm going to include it here somehow Probably is an annotation because one of the interesting things I learned while I was doing these videos is that for you to use the cards feature on The videos it has to be a website that you have already associated yourself with so in my Google profile it lists all of my blogs and it lists my two video channels So I can post the link to any of those things But if I wanted to share something from someone else like I was talking about The pop-ups issue and I wanted to include a link to my friend Brian Hawkins His blog because we had a little thing going there. Whatever cards won't let you do it I can do it as an annotation, but for me to do it I have to actually sign out of one of my accounts and sign into it on chrome because on My computer I got rid of flash I I was having all kind of issues with it and I just decided it wasn't worth the trouble and I got rid of it However, that basically means that the only browser that I can do anything with Because it overrides flash is chrome and I'm a Firefives guy. So that's just how that is but you know I Just wanted to show folks that you can do these kinds of things You don't have to wait till it's perfect You don't have to be a great editor because I'm not an editor at all You don't have to sit there and get fancy music You know I had some of the videos where I had classical music playing in the background and some I didn't I did one where I talked about a standalone client for Twitter called tweeting so I got to show you the feature that they have that I can't remember the name of but I you know where I could actually show you the program and Not have me, you know be there, you know having a camera behind me saying Okay, here's me and doing this whatever You know, I don't have all that fancy stuff I don't have room to put a background behind me because you know what Demi there's my window. It's right there You know, I can I can touch it. I don't have no that kind of thing I have a webcam. It's not one of those cameras that I can actually take around with me I can use the phone, but it's not the same kind of thing You know, there's too many people who find reasons for not being able to do stuff I can't do this. I can't do this. I can't do this And I think that we as a people need to find more reasons to just say I'm going to do it That's my take on it So let's see what we get here. We got a little bit of motivation. We got a little bit of talking about creativity You know what my work here is done 21 videos in 30 days or 21 videos in 10 days. However, you want to look at it, you know what I'm done If I had a mic, I drop a mic. So like I said, I'm itch Mitchell I hope that you go back and look at all the other videos. I hope you've enjoyed this little journey I hope that there's at least one video here that you thought Was something that you might like to look at, you know By the way my one video that I did last year doing a comparison between Verizon files and Time Warner. It's finally hit 15,000 views. You know what? I'll take that Anyway, I hope you folks have had a wonderful April I hope I've had a wonderful April and we'll certainly find out next week when I go back to doing my video the night before Yeah, I'm Mitch Mitchell Y'all take care
