Help! I can't mirror my Android screen to the PC since i immigrated my Samsung Galaxy S10 OS.  Cleaned cache and registry with CCleaner.  Exit every software running in the background.  Uninstall twitch, voice-mod and Elgato stream deck. Remove unwanted start up software. Shut down and Restart the computer. Didn't work.  Finally, I went to GitHub to download and install the latest SCRCPY v1.23. It worked again. My previous version was SCRCPY v1.17.  Thank you. ~ Adrian Lee

My YouTube Shorts seem to be getting more popular than my regular long videos. So this is my YouTube Shorts post for today. 1. Hashtagged with popular tags from YouTube. 2. Titled with the most popular keywords from VidIQ. 3. Placed a call-to-action in the first line of the description. Finally, it's monetized of course. Next, I will report on the progress. ~ Adrian Lee

Is YouTube Shorts the way to grow my YouTube channel in 2022? Just an observation from my YouTube analytics for the past 28 days.  1. My Shorts are getting more views than my regular long videos.  2. It could be the Title. I never made a long video with the same title.  3. Combined, there are over 70% of viewers come from Youtube Searches, and over 100 new subscribers gained mainly aged around 24 years old.  If it is true that YouTube Shorts gets more views than regular videos, then I will focus my time on YouTube Shorts, because they are faster to create.  ~ Adrian Lee

So I have been co-working streaming on Twitch for slightly over 1 hour with the Youtube Audio library playing in the background using Yolobox Pro. No talking. Just chatting... though there are no views yet...  https://www.twitch.tv/adrianvideoimage   Done 3 trivial but essential admin tasks. No breaks yet.  I really should be motivated to start the stream earlier so that I can get more work done.  INTERRUPTION - Amazon Live?  So I just received an update from Yololiv on Facebook about  Amazon Live.  What is Amazon Live?  It's for Amazon sellers and Influencers.  Am I qualified?  First I must install the Amazon Live Creator app on my phone.  Ok, it does not exist in my android play store.  Oh right now it's available only for iOS...  https://www.ecomcrew.com/what-is-amazon-live-and-how-to-use-it/ As of right now, Amazon Live is only available for Brand Registered sellers and Vendors on the U.S. marketplace.

I had a dream. ======== I am on a cruise ship walking around in swim attire and robe. Spilled some dark blue liquid while climbing up the stairs on the sunny outdoor deck. The sky is blue. The floor is made of painted white planks with gaps. So the drink seeped through to the lower deck. There were people nearby. It certainly does not look like the Quantum Of The Seas. Then I am indoors half-dressed seated on something like a piano chair. The floor is carpeted red and black. I am looking out the window at the sea and waiting for someone at the same time.  ======== Could this be a confirmation that our cruise in March will go ahead as planned? I know it is. No more worries about Dream Cruises closing down, nor about Omicron, nor about the Son of Omicron.  ~ Adrian Lee

How do I feel 24 hours after my third covid vax booster jab? I am now lying down on my living room sofa listening to Tiktok lofi on YouTube playing from my Philips smart TV on a Sunday afternoon.  How do I feel? 1. That feel-good tiredness like after a physical work out.  2. That lazy don't want to do anything Sunday mood.  3. The jab area on my left shoulder is feeling the greatest soreness.  The plaster is still stuck on. Let me peel it off later when it's less sore.  In the meantime I have chores to do, clutter to clear and the week ahead to strategize.  ~ Adrian Lee

I am not 100% familiar with the 3 products I am supposed to teach. So I spent the entire day researching. I want to make a perfect video tutorial. I googled the product name with an extra letter a to z. I organized the keywords I found and wrote them in my blog.  If I could find the answer, I expanded on the blog post.  Next is to make a video a video from the post.  AMAZON AFFILIATE COMMISSION No sales at Amazon affiliate program today, though in the last 7 days, it made US$115... Mostly from YouTube AL then VL blogs.  👉 I could make it better by listing items in popular videos.  VIDEOLANE.COM WEBSITE VISITORS Unique visitors from search to VL blog tension consistent.

Wed 9 Feb 2022 What's a co-working live stream? I discovered it when I was searching if anyone streams while working without speaking. Yes, there are. It is exactly what it says, it's a stream that invites viewers to work with you.  I successfully streamed publicly for 6 plus hours though without any audience.  That's in the day. At night I streamed again on Tiktok in front of an audience.  Here's what I did and learned.  I used Yolobox Pro to stream directly to Twitch and switched between a wide shot of my desk, my computer screen, and my phone screen.  I streamed for over 6 hours without talking, because that's what other co-working streamers do... And they have an audience of about 50 watching.  I streamed myself working, making my product review video, doing admin work, and taking breaks. I managed to complete a product review shoot of the Creative Live webcam showing my production process all the way.  I used the Yolobox scoreboard overlay as my P...

Participants turned something into cash before lunch. Thanks to the mobile video editing Zoom class.   via Instagram

Tue 8 Feb 2022   One full day of focus on the Zoom Class.   The class went well I guess. 18 participants. No one filled out the feedback form, but they left chat messages that they liked the class. This is one very quiet class and I had to do a lot of encouragement for interaction.   How Did I Conduct this Zoom Class? The class was streamed via the Zoom software on a MacBook Air M1 connected to the internet directly via Ethernet using a USBC multi-adapter.  Two sources were used. The Macbook Air M1 webcam and the full-screen display.   I logged from a phone as a participant so I can see and hear what participants are experiencing.   The phone is also used for viewing chat messages because I cannot see the chat messages on the computer while presenting the slides.   Only 3 out of the 18 participants talked to me on the mic. So I encouraged the rest to leave me messages, which they did.    At first, I wanted to int...

What's the best time to stream on Tiktok? How long should I stream on Tiktok? Is streaming on Tiktok worth it?  1. Best Time? Based on the analytics, most of my followers are active on Tiktok at 9 pm Singapore Time.  2. How Long? The chart shows the activity rising at 7 pm and ebb at 10 pm. So probably I should stream for 3 hours.  3. Worth It?  Yes. New viewers tend to follow.  Followers tend to share. I tend to receive Diamonds credits. Many asked for my Youtube channel and subscribed.  I think live streaming is the new vlogging. Time to sacrifice Netflix and Disney+ time.  https://tiktok.com/@adrianvideoimage ~ Adrian Lee

Why are my followers dropping on Tiktok? Why did my followers on Tiktok disappear? What to do if you are losing followers on Tiktok? From the analytics, I can see that the drop started in early January 2022.  It was climbing very quickly from early December 2021 to 111.9k followers. Today, it has dropped to 111.3k followers.  Why am I losing my Tiktok followers? Here are 3 reasons I think is happening. 1. I stopped posting for too long. 2. I didn't post what my followers want.  3. I have too many followers under 13.  What to do if you are losing Tiktok followers?  Well I can't do anything about Tiktok removing underage or inactive accounts.  I suspect I haven't been posting what my followers want to see for too long.  Many people followed my account for the Capcut video editing tutorial.  My last tutorial was on 20 Oct 2021. Today is 2 Feb 2022.  That's 2 and a half months which I have been posting other stuff.  👉 So from today, let me ...
