Getting more YouTube return viewers - 19K subs challenge day 15

Image
How to get more returning viewers to my YouTube channel? There are generally three types of YouTube channels. - Consistent - more return viewers than new viewers. - Variety - fewer return viewers than new viewers. - Viral - very little return viewers after the viral spike. To build an audience on YouTube, you have to attract new viewers and retain the ones you have. 1. Think about what brought people to your channel in the first place and what videos would bring them back to watch more. 2. Making a series is one way you can drive viewer loyalty. 3. Attract repeat viewers by delivering consistent value rather than chasing views and trends. “Build a loyal YouTube audience by delivering consistent value rather than chasing views and trends.” Source:  https://youtu.be/l-Nk3uv6SW0 Okay, let's work on it...  2020 Goal #1/3: 19000 (up 50) YouTube Subscribers Challenge…  https://YouTube.com/videolane Yesterday. 18686.

ACRA RORC Deadline Extension - 31 March 2021

Image
What's this? This is a mandatory task for companies in Singapore to do. " With effect from 30 July 2020, all companies, foreign companies and limited liability partnerships (LLPs), unless exempted are required to lodge with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), the same information that they presently continue to maintain their Registers Of Registrable Controllers (RORC)..." By not complying, my business will receive some form of penalty under the law. Due to COVID-19, the deadline was extended to 29 September 2020... which is tomorrow. So, last night I scrambled to proceed to the website to fill out information required. Then, like all bank and government websites, I am instructed to click this and that just to get to where I am supposed to go. I wonder to myself... why can't they just give me the direct link. Next, I thought I couldn't follow instructions... BECAUSE I COULDN'T locate the link. So I left a message with ACRA about MY proble

Samsung Health App Review 2020 on Galaxy S10

Image
I forgot my Nike app password so I tried the Samsung Health app and I love it. 1. It ensures I do a warm-up first,  2. It tells me to slow down when I am too fast, and 3. It doesn't silence my Spotify in the background.  It's a very short run today and I am going to use the App again to monitor my next run.  Adrian's Journal #Run #jog #walk #fitness #keepfit #exercise #samsunggalaxybuds #samsunggalaxys10 #spotifyplaylist #akirathedon

Learn To Code Python - Day 0

Image
Some mundane routines really take up a lot of time.  These are tasks that cannot be outsourced or rather not profitable enough to be outsourced. Daily tasks like... - stock market analysis,  - blog content creation,  - social media cross posting like what IFTTT does,  - and more. These are all easily automated or rather has already been automated but very expensive to subscribe to. Why don't I code this automation myself and in turn charge subscription to others? I already have the foundation in coding. All I have to do is to learn the current computer language... Python. Where can I learn python coding for free? - https://www.learnpython.org/ Where can I host the Python code for free? It must also allow me to code on my mobile phone from anywhere. - https://www.pythonanywhere.com/ Yayy... This is day zero of a new journey.  Adrian's Journal Notes: - Retrieving stock statistics https://simply-python.com/tag/stocks/

IONA GLSF167R 16-inch Standing Fan Review - with remote control

Image
Our bedroom fan is broken again. So we chanced upon a group deal on Qoo10 and ordered the IONA GLSF167R 16-inch Standing Fan with remote control . We ordered it on 14th September 2020 and it arrived on 16th September 2020. What are the features? Remote control 3 speeds - low, medium, high 3 wind modes - normal, natural, sleep Timer selection - 0.5hr, 1 hr, 2 hr, 4 hr, and any combination up to 7.5 hours. 90° swing What do I like about it? 1. It is easy to set up and light weight.  2. It is powerful at maximum speed.  3. It has a dedicated on-off switch.  What I don't like about it? a. The power plug is 2-pin instead of 3. b. A 90° swing is a bit too wide for me. What is not included? Batteries are not included. The remote control requires two AAA batteries. Will I recommend it? For the price, I will recommend it.

Aviva and Singlife Merger in Singapore

Image
I received a letter from Aviva Singapore regarding the "Combination of Aviva Singapore and Singlife". So what's the big deal? Well, I am an existing Aviva Singapore insurance policy customer. I am also contemplating to put some money into Singlife... But hesitated because of contradicting reviews ... Read my research here...  https://adrianvideoimage.com/singlife/ Now that Aviva Singapore and Singlife are merging together, things may change. Here's what I understand about the merger, according to the letter I received: This is a planned transaction to combine Aviva Singapore and Singapore Life Pte Ltd ("Singlife"). So not merged company hasn't happened yet.  The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to complete by January 2021.  Thereafter, the Aviva Singapore and Singlife legal entities will combine, subject to approval by the Singapore courts, targeting the first half of 2021. Aviva will retain a 25% equity shareholding in the n
