For example, · Use your mobile phone to shoot videos. Modern smartphones have excellent video quality. · Edit videos with free tools like Kinemaster or Capcut. · Focus on strong storytelling and a good subject. · Start with medium-length videos (3–7 minutes), which are easier to produce and retain attention better than long ones. As you grow, you can invest in better gear and editing software. Remember, you learn by doing, trial and error is part of the process.

Having a good social media management strategy is very important. For me, I develop a content calendar, interact with my followers, and monitor my stats. This has helped me to establish a good online presence and find people with whom I share common views with. The trick here is consistency so I aim at posting everyday and respond to comments very quickly.

Do you currently use any decentralized web platforms? Anything that is part of the fediverse falls under this category, ActivityPub connects a bunch of websites together which makes it easier to locate platforms that aren't made by big corporations such as Meta social media platforms. I believe that the internet is in a state where soon the bigger names are going to eventually fail and many people are going to find alternatives. I highly recommend looking into integrating your projects to the Fediverse if you can. I'm hoping more forum software will go down this route eventually.

There's another wave of the anti-adblocking taking place within YouTube. Now you'll receive more ads within your YouTube Premium Lite tier, which is great right...right?! NeowinGoogle confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lit...It is a well-known thing that browser adblockers often fail to play nicely with YouTube these days. However, even if you paid for Premium Lite, Google says it will soon push even more ads. YouTube is also fighting back still, with making the user experience worse if it detects that you are using ad-blocking extensions.

Do you believe that one day Peertube can truly rival Youtube? I personally can't see it happening soon, which is a shame really. Youtube has really been going downhill more and more as the years go on ever since Google bought them. I think more and more people would benefit if they can install their own instance of Peertube and be in control of every aspect of their video audience. However since we live in a time where people tend to stick to what they know and don't really branch out, I don't think Peertube will be as popular as Youtube. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

Hey everyone! 👋 So I was browsing around this morning and stumbled across something that made me pause and think. Invision Community (you know, the forum software) just posted that they're slowing down their development releases. Now normally, when a platform says "we're slowing down," that's usually code for "we're dying" or "we ran out of money." But this actually feels... different? Here's what caught my attention: They were doing weekly releases since their v5 launch - which sounds awesome in theory, right? New features every week! But they basically said "okay, we're stable now, let's actually think about what we're building instead of just shipping stuff." And …

I recently got an idea for a new community, I decided to pick MyBB for this community but I think it's a bit outdated by 2025 terms. So I'm wanting to switch platforms but I'm not sure exactly which platform I want to switch to. If I had the money, I would pick Invision but I can't afford it. I also don't want to purchase another VPS account to host a NodeBB or Discourse instance. So I'd like to hear some feedback from people here on which platform I should switch to! I'm thinking about either vBulletin perhaps or Xenforo? vBulletin is cheaper and comes with a lot more features than Xenforo does out of the box. Plus I feel Xenforo as of late has been lacking with updates.…

Writing about current events, or creating videos/podcast on current topic is easy, however, the trends fade fast. If you want long-term traffic on your written content or audio visual content, focus on evergreen topics, the topics that stay relevant for years. This strategy will help you get ongoing traffic. You might not get immediate traffic, but unlike current topics that stops accumulating views after a while, evergreen content generates regular traffic.
