What tools do you use to edit your videos? Do you use an additional microphone? I have not invested any money to purchase filming/editing tools yet……I am new & frugal. :) However, I am open to learning….. please share your recommendations! I use Quick time player on my mac to record, then edit using iMovie.

A shout out to Adam Tinkoff for bringing to my attention that I was copywriting a trademark via my drawings. However, it was for educational use which may of been my saving grace, along with this gentleman's input. I have mended my ways & reconstructed my channel. https://youtu.be/fGhLCKQZOkQ?si=xd0Qrm9PuTHNp6k2 What are your thoughts on this newbie channel? Thank you in advance for your support.

My videos are only getting less than 10 clicks per video. Do you advise to go back and shorten videos then repost? The videos average around 22 minutes in length. I feel that is too lengthy….thoughts?

Next week’s live call will be with Ludmila Bausheva who is a former Creative Director with 25+ years in advertising who now helps creators understand why some short videos capture attention — and most don’t. Instead of chasing trends or “algorithm hacks,” she teaches a creative-strategy approach to short-form content: how to shape ideas, structure hooks, and turn personal stories or expertise into videos people actually watch. In this masterclass, she breaks down the anatomy of viral-style Shorts in a clear, practical way, showing how to make videos that feel natural while still reaching an audience. Mark your calendars - it’s going to be awesome! 🤩 Feb. 19, 2026 Her Instagram handle : @Ludmila Bausheva
