You know when you have one of those days where you wake up and think “why am I still doing that?”
We I had one of those mornings today. I would put it down to being half asleep but after having a very engaging and inspiring discussion with a friend of mine last night, I had the good kind of motivation to take stock of my situation and look at ways to improve.
I’ve had some ideas rolling about in my head for a while and have decided that I need to concentrate on them if I want to make anything of them. It always comes back to my digital life. It’s very important to me. In fact I think out of most things around these days, my digital presence seems to help ‘define’ who I am. Some people have their work. Some people have their family. I have friends and facebook. It’s a situation where “real” vs. “digital”.
You might think that I’m being quite silly and extremely shallow. I’m not, but I’m in the process of travelling through my digital adolescence and growing my first digital pube… in fact I swear I’m also going through that stage where my digital teenager is infatuated with the hottie that is YouTube. He is constantly trying to get her attention but never gets to be her partner. All he can do is admire her from afar, accept her fleeting glances and just “man up”.
I know, I know. I’m getting all esoteric and pretentious again. I apologise.
I just wanted to keep you up to date with my thoughts. I know how important these blogs are to you. I just really wish that I could make a living from this digital life. Maybe one day when my younger (and obviously more attractive) digital self gets his first digital job.
Then we can start having some serious fun (…spot the oxymoron!)
Til next time,
Snare

Well, if you want to get a digital presence, you really have to work for it. You have a decent amount of subscribers on youtube, but the problem is that you don't update enough. If you update every day, your views will go up dramatically, your subscribers will go up, and you'll have a slightly larger presence.
Every time a subscription I have pops up, I watch the video just so I can get it off of that silly Subscriptions tab thing. I'd assume lots of people do that too.
I'm basically rambling, but for the most part, I'd say focus on one part (Videos are easy, because, let's face it, people don't like reading and there are plenty more interesting blogs out there) of your web presence, update often (Strive for everyday) and get your presence known. Frequent other daily vloggers or video posters, comment and branch out.
Comments FTW
Digital pube. lol.
